Marrying a Woman of Mother's Choice

Sick Mom

"Ren, go! Your mom is very sick, she says your name over and over again." His father's voice on the phone made the meeting that was then led by Reno must be delayed.

For Reno Premadi, his mother was everything. He would do anything for his mother. And now that he heard his mother was very sick, there was nothing more important than his health.

"Cancel all appointments and meetings I have to attend. I have to go home to see Mom" Reno said in a stern tone to her assistant Doni.

"Good, Sir. Do I need to take it?" ask Doni.

Reno grabbed her suit, "I went alone. Please take good care of the company as long as I'm not here."

Doni nods. Reno and Doni are actually ages they are not far adrift. They were also two close friends since they were in college.

"Be careful, bro." Doni reminded Reno to be careful. This time he spoke as a friend, not as Reno's assistant.

Reno is a man from Makassar, he migrated to Jakarta and pioneered a business that brought him to the top of his career. It has been a long time since he was in Jakarta, the last few years he never came home again. During this time he communicated with his parents only through telephone connections and video calls.

Hearing that her mother was sick, she felt guilty that she had not been home for several years. Doni has arranged for his return, including buying a ticket and returning home.

The sound of a loudspeaker at Soekarno Hatta International Airport, making his daydream scatter. Calls for passengers of Garuda aircraft to Makassar which is also a plane that will be boarded to Makassar.

Reno immediately packed his luggage which was only a backpack. Then we headed towards the departure hall to the plane.

"Darling, we're having dinner tonight, right?" said a woman across there in a spoiled tone.

Suddenly Reno's face shriveled. He forgot he hasn't told his girlfriend Elsa. About his sudden return to Makassar.

"Sa, listen to me yes. I'm sorry tonight I can't accompany you to dinner. There are things that I have to take care of suddenly and it can't be delayed anymore. But I promise you, I'll give you my time as long as you want after I get back to Jakarta. Okay well? I have to get out of town." Reno explained at length.

"Where are you going?"

"I have to go. Wait for me in Jakarta."

Clik.

Without waiting for an answer from Elsa, Reno had already turned off her phone because she was already inside the cabin of the plane. He took a deep breath and rubbed his face. Next to her a mother of about fifty years old, was grasping tightly the hands of her husband who was also sitting side by side with her. This scene reminds him of his mother and father.

The notice that the plane was about to fly, led Reno to fix his sitting position and put a headset on his ear. He closed his eyes and would probably just choose to sleep.

Airplanes, the city of Jakarta looks very small. Until finally the plane is really at an altitude that only visible clouds only.

Reno's return this time, is the turning point of the life he lived in Jakarta.
