Shinta was still looking at the face of her sleeping baby. The sound of the footsteps of a small child approaching Shinta's room could already guess whose footsteps it was.
"Mama, it's been a while. Alana's waiting," Shinta turned her back, smiling at Alana. Shinta already knew if Alana would definitely catch up with her, Shinta also gave a code to Alana not to make noise so that her sister does not wake up.
Alana glanced at her sister she understood, but Alana was very upset because her mother was so long ago.
"Alana would like to miss mama, would like to read a fairy tale with mama."
"Yes son, but his sister has no friends. It's a pity that Mama stayed, right? Wait to come back, will you?" pinta Shinta to her child gently.
Alana pursed her lips forward, but she did not want to fight with her mother or baby sister.
Always the sister that mom spoiled!
Alana who was upset outside left Shinta, the woman also threw her breath violently.
When will Alana understand, son?
Shinta can only be patient in dealing with the nature of her child on that one, Shinta hopes that Alana will grow up like that again.

Alana went into the room of Syifa and also Raisa. He immediately asked for my hand to his brother spoiled. Syifa also holds the sister.
"Why pout?" syifa asked Alana, Alana also said her frustration.
"Alana was waiting for my mom but she didn't come to Kamal. Mama's even engrossed in Al's sister."
Syifa and Raisa also felt anxious with their sister's pouting face. Syifa told Alana to sleep with them.
"Yes, Alana slept with Raisa's sister and sister."
Alana nodded, Syifa laid her sister's body on the bed. Syifa also told a fairy tale that she knew for her sister.
It didn't take long, Alana fell asleep.
She was so jealous of her own sister ~in Raisa.
"Alana was always spoiled, so when Al was present she felt like she was being exiled. My mom never differentiated. Perhaps, the affection of the mother is greater to baby Al because it is still a child can not be anything." muttered Syifa to Raisa.
"Yes, at home, my mom always thinks of Khanza. Always accompanying Khanza," Raisa smiled wryly.
Syifa also explained that the baby is still in need of more attention and affection.
"Sister?"
"Yes?"
"So at school you said that you would explain everything about your mom. Raisa wants to hear her sister,"
Syifa also saw the eyes of Raisa who looked very curious.
"Whatever you hear, I hope later you can forgive everything and make peace with the situation huh? Never take revenge on anyone,"
Raisa also nodded, Because according to Raisa he also has the right to know the history. So that her self will not misunderstand again with her mother Caca.
"That mother was a good and wonderful mother to us especially to me and to you, Raisa. However, because of the circumstances mami was forced to leave us. It's all for our safety."
"For what safety? If it's for our safety why don't you take care of us?"
"Mommy wants to, but circumstances that make her helpless. Honey, we have an amazing mom. For our good he was willing to sacrifice his happiness. Mama Caca also her life isn't as lucky as ours."
"Not so lucky, brother? Isn't mommy from her small happy life? Even mommy has a very decent life."
"Yes, my mom comes from a very wealthy family. My mom also has a sister who is gone. Her name was Aunt Lee when they were kids. Aunt Lee is gone. And you know who was behind Aunt Lee's death?"
Raisa also shook her head.
"It's all because of our grandmother, none other than the birth mother of Mama Caca and also Aunt Lee. From there, my mother never felt happiness. Her life has always been arranged by our grandmother Elsa. In fact, my mom can't complain one bit. One day my mother met my father. They fell in love with each other, even married. But my grandmother never let my mother live happily. Always make mama suffer, there was an incident when my papa was sick, requires a considerable cost. Mama doesn't have any money, and my dad used to be very difficult. Not her help, our grandmother instead gave a heavy choice to mama. He'll help treat my papa as long as mom is willing to leave me and papa. There's no other choice for my safety and my papa mama's willing to part."
"What happened after that, brother? Why did mom make the same mistake. Leaving me like my mom left my sister?"
Syifa also threw out her breath violently. If he remembers what his mama Caca went through. His heart felt very sick, as if opening an old wound.
"Daddy is now much different than Daddy was decades ago. Daddy years ago was just like Grandma. Who is so selfish and thinks of himself, not even infrequently mama Caca get rough treatment. Mama was very depressed at that time, even mom was forced to marry Daddy even though she did not have any feelings. Daddy and grandma are so mean to mom."
Raisa shed her tears, she could no longer hear the suffering experienced by her mother. How depressed her must have been her mother first.
Raisa is unable, she asks her sister not to continue her story again.
"You and I just heard that story just how painful it was with Mama Caca who was going through all this. In fact, Mama Caca had several miscarriages because of our grandmother's behavior."
Raisa sobbed, she was very guilty because she had accused her mother without knowing the truth. Syifa hugged Raisa calming her sister.
"Don't cry. It's all gone, Grandma Elsa is gone. And Daddy also loves mommy now well. So, everything's fine."
"But how devastated his mami kak, mami suffered so much first."
It feels like Raisa wants to go home and embrace her beloved mother.
"So, it's only natural that Mama Caca is not fully ready to be a mother. Because only to Khanza Mami felt how to be a whole mother, given the opportunity to care for Khanza from birth to adulthood later. Given the opportunity to see firsthand the development of Khanza, how it feels to give ASI to children, what it feels like to not be able to enjoy a night of sleep with pleasure. Only to Khanza mama felt it all. Because even though you want that time to take care of us but fate must keep us away from mama."
Raisa was getting sadder, and she felt more guilty. Why can't she understand her mom like her sister does.
"Raisa, sister says gini. Not to let you know the crimes of grandma and Daddy. But, just so you know how hard our mama's life used to be. I also try to be a good mom to three of us. However, with Khanza Mama can feel things that he never felt when with us."
"I-yakak, Raisa now understands how her mother suffered all this time."
"But you also have to understand, it's all over. Mom is happy with Daddy. And Daddy has become better. We must also be able to understand all the circumstances that exist."
Raisa nodded, Syifa smiled and hugged Raisa.
"So I hope after this you and your brother no longer misunderstand with Mama Caca. And give Mama Caca a chance to feel how to be a full-fledged mother who can take care of her child."
*******
On the other hand, Caca was still crying. He also felt very guilty about his treatment with Syifa.
What if Syifa is offended, I hurt her. And what if Shinta and Revan find out about it? They will definitely not let me meet Syifa again.
Arvan calms his wife, ever since Khanza's presence. Caca is becoming more sensitive, maybe Caca is experiencing the baby blues?
If he duty Arvan here will always support his wife because the baby blues disease is not something that can be considered trivial.
Arvan was anxious, he also wanted to bring his wife to consult with a psychiatrist.
However, Caca did not want to and said that he was not crazy.
Yes, sweetie. You are not Gilak. I know that, but we better consult a psychiatrist. Maybe your mind is tired.
However, Caca also remains determined not to go to a psychiatrist. Arvan did not want to force, he could only encourage and support his wife.
"All right, but I'm asking you not to think too much about what really didn't happen. Don't worry too much. There are Syifa, Raisa and Khanza. They need you if you are like this often.. Poor kids."
Caca also agreed with the words of her husband, he will try not to think too much and worry about things that are not necessarily happening.
Arvan peeps at his wife's forehead. He wrote a sentence that made Caca smile happily.
I love you, I need you. Don't leave me, I'm weak without you baby. You and the kids are my life.
Caca also recalled how Arvan struggled and sacrificed for her first, although Caca never reciprocated Arvan's love but Arvan treated her like a queen.
Although Arvan often violent to Caca first, but Caca knows he did it because of the circumstances.
Especially Caca who never appreciated him before. Now, with Raisa and Khanza the power of their love is getting bigger. Caca promised he would always look after his little family.
*******
Revan, dizzy with his work, threw away the files on the desk.
Damnit damnit! Why is everything like this!
All of Revan's work was messed up, his project was a failure. In fact, he had already staked all his assets for the project. Now, Revan's treasure is at stake.
"What if all my assets run out, my wife and children how?"
Revan's head was willing to break, he regretted not listening to his wife's words.
Some time ago when Revan was risking all his assets Shinta had already banned. However, instead of listening to his wife Revan actually insulted his wife and said that Shinta was only a housewife and only a former dentist. Will not understand the business world..
Revan feels like a failure, he knows that soon they will go bankrupt.
How will I bring my children back to life?
Where are we gonna stay?
Revan also thinks about the monthly fee for his parents who are abroad.
No way, he told his two parents to go home. Because his papa Revan is undergoing medical treatment abroad.
Revan did not give up. He is sure he will be able to overcome this problem.
Revan decides to return home, he meets his wife and hugs Shinta.
Shinta was startled, seeing her husband as helpless.
"What's wrong? Why are you like this? Hey?"
Shinta felt her husband crying in her arms.
"I'm sorry, I failed."
"Why? What's up?"
Revan's getting his embrace tightened.
"If I had listened to your words at that time."
Shinta releases her hug with her husband she says what's up?
Revan told me if the project failed. They will lose all their assets.
Shinta looked very relaxed, not panicking in the slightest. He looked her in the eyes, and said there was no need to worry.
"How am I not worried. We'll probably be out of this house soon."
Shinta laughed, saying they were not going anywhere
Apparently, unbeknownst to Revan. Shinta has already moved some of Revan's important assets into her name. Shinta knows if the business world is very cunning, she has already warned her husband..
However, Revan who stubbornly did not want to listen to Shinta's words, Shinta also had to take steps so as not to experience a big risk.
"The great assets I have transferred in my name, do you remember when I asked for your signature on the grounds that it was for the benefit of Syifa? That's me lying. That signature to move an asset in your name to be on my behalf."
Revan is surprised, he says if his wife is very sneaky. However, he was also grateful that his wife could do such a clever thing. Otherwise, maybe they will lose all of their assets..
"I'm not a business person, I'm just a housewife and a former dentist. However, I know that if the business world is cruel, I don't want to take risks for children..So, seventy percent of your assets are mine. Only thirty percent is in your name. And his losses were only thirty percent. However, we still have seventy percent of our assets. Like your home, office, and some factory."
"Then, which asset are we going to lose?"
Shinta laughs. He said that Revan only has assets of a few cars and small businesses. So, they just lost a new car and small business at the stub by Revan.
Now, Revan breathed a sigh of relief, thanking Shinta for saving their household.
