That day, day 30 Melati stayed at Rega's house. He was sad to not be able to melt the heart of the mother-in-law. Struggled and agitated perched in his heart. Melati try to be patient and not give up just like that. Arjuna will be home soon. Melati never told me about losing a diamond necklace in the house of the mother-in-law. She was afraid that her husband would worry and decide to go home.
Melati stood up and stepped out of the room. He saw his mother sitting in the back garden with Mbok. Slowly he approached. Brave to touch Bu Hertini's shoulder and massage her.
"Ma ... "the broom that only Ms. Hertini had left. The middle-aged woman did not reject Melati's touch, nor did she accept. He was silent as usual. "I'm sorry Melati yes, Ma. Melati has confused Mama for losing the necklace."
Not long after that, Mbok left there because he felt bad. He looked down and smiled at Melati then passed.
"Ma, it's been thirty days that Melati has lived here. Thank you for letting me be in the middle of this family. Soon Mas Arjuna will be picking up. Again I apologize profusely."
Ms. Hertini didn't budge. Jasmine circled the wheelchair and sat crouching in front of Mama-in-law.
"Ma, thank you." Melati kissed the back of Bu Hertini's hand in reverence, then wiped her tears gently. He smiled at Ms. Hertini's face. Even though her mother-in-law was throwing her face away.
When he finished saying goodbye, he stood up and walked away. Melati went back to the room, cleaned all the clothes in the suitcase, she prepared if her husband came to pick her up. Suddenly remembered Doctor Rega's words back then.
'Is it possible, doctor Rega likes me?'
His heart was agitated. Melati stopped her activities and chose to sit at the end of the bed. He bit his small fingernails.
'What if it's true?' Melati is getting nervous.
He stood up and paced near the bed. Thinking, whether to see Rega's doctor and remind him of his feelings.

"Mr Ma'am!" greet the Roses that night. He just got back from college.
Melati is doing a VC with Revi. Once a week the woman called her foster child.
"Honey, Aunt Rose has come home, yes!" pampered.
"OK!" suhut Revi with adorable style.
The cell phone turned off, Rose sat by her brother's side.
"Isa's prayer?" tanya Melati reminded.
"Yet, Ma'am. Praying magrib in Mushola campus."
"Yes, take a shower! Keep praying first, yes!"
"OK!" Rose immediately stood up and grabbed the towel beside the bathroom door, there was a special hanger for the towel.
Melati returned to take care of her pending clothes. Not how long Mbok called.
"Mbak Mel's. Later asked the big lady to gather in the living room."
"Yes, Mbok. Thanks, yeah!" sahut Melati, then Mbok passed.
The rose approached Melati who had finished packing her clothes.
"Sir, I'll be home with you!" rose Word.
"By, we're in the middle first. Mama ask to gather there."
"What's up, Ma'am?" ask Roses.
"Not knowing either, Dek. We'll just take it." Roses nodded. They headed towards the middle room.
Arriving in the middle room, Melati was a bit surprised because there were already Arjuna and Rega. Just last night Melati called her husband. Now he's here.
"Mas!" greet Melati when she saw Arjuna was sitting on one of the sofas. He approached and kissed the back of his priest's hand with reverence.
"Alhamdulillah, Mas" said Melati. "Why don't you say it's already here?" whispered Jasmine.
"But on the phone with Rega, he asked Mas to come home."
"Why?"
Arjuna just shrugged his shoulders. The rose sits near Mbok. Rega is with Bu Hertini. The atmosphere became a bit tense as Bu Hertini swept a glance at everyone. He looked one by one at the faces there.
"Arjuna. There's something you need to know."
Melati and Arjuna sat. The heart of the pregnant woman was a little afraid that her mother-in-law would tell her about the lost diamond necklace.
"Yes, Ma?" sahut Arjuna calmly.
"Mama lost a diamond necklace a few weeks ago. Your papa's diamond necklace. Mama's so dear with the necklace."
"Yes my. How can? So now we meet? "
Melati's face changed pias hearing her mother's words. What if he gets back cornered?
'Astaghfirullah .. ' he said repeatedly in his heart. His heart was indeed filled with anxiety.
The rose looked at Melati with guilt. He wanted to help, but he was also afraid that everyone would look at him with a look of hate.
"It's over!" sahut his mother looked at the faces of Melati and Roses in turn.
Melati holds the fingers of her husband. His lips twitched a little saying something.
"Ma ... Mas! I took the diamond necklace. But really my intention is not to steal, Mas. I'm just interested and want to try. That's all."
Arjuna looked at his wife with a frown. Not expecting this incident. There was no way a Melati Kusuma would dare to do something this bad.
"Darling, you can ask to buy Mas. It doesn't have to be like that. With this Mama will be more difficult to give his blessing." whispered Arjuna looking at his wife nilar.
Jasmine closed her eyes, she swallowed her saliva several times. While Rose, her hands clasped and sweated each other. He wanted to confess, but there was a lot of consideration. Mama loved it, she just made Rega like it.
"Do you know who your wife is now?" Ms. Hertini looked sharply at Arjuna's face.
"Ma, jasmine already said just wanted to borrow. No intention of taking it!" Arjuna tried to defend.
"Any chance he took my closet off just to borrow a diamond necklace. Sassy!!" yell Mama.
Rega held her mother's hand. He was afraid that anything would happen to his mother.
"Mama, don't be so hard." Rega reminded.
The rose felt more guilty, his face was sweating. His lips wanted to talk. Still doubtful and considerate.
"This kind of wife you're fighting desperately for? huh!" Ms. Hertini shouted with glaring eyes.
"Ma, please don't talk like that. In any case Melati is the woman I love. She's the mother of my children!" Arjuna's voice was slightly raised.
Melati stood up, she rested at the feet of the mother-in-law while apologizing. Seeing that Arjuna stood up, he invited Melati to sit in the original place, but Melati refused. Arjuna could not bear to see Melati in the patient.
"Mas, let me be like this Mas I was wrong."
Meanwhile the Rose closed her eyes, gathering courage to speak. Once sure the Rose took a deep breath and opened her eyes.
"I'm the thief, not Madam Melati!" the word Rose suddenly that made everyone speechless. The rose again closed the eyes, a few drops of crystal bursting on her smooth cheeks. "Don't make Mommy Jasmine like that. I beg!" Roses caving. He got off the couch and stood on his knees. His face was filled with regret.
