Stella was thinking about what decision to make last night, after struggling with her heart and mind she decided to agree on what her former in-laws expected.
"Aiden studied diligently, son," said Stella rubbed Aiden's head.
Both are now in the school area, that day Stella who drove Aiden to school with Mr. Udin as her driver.
"Yes, Mother."
Stella kissed Aiden's face.
Aiden kissed the back of Stella's hand. "Assalamu'alaikum, Mother."
"Wa'alaikumsalam, honey, be careful."
"Go to the boutique, Non?" ask Mr. Udin when Stella is already in the car.
"Yes, sir."
Drttt drttt
Stella's phone is vibrating, there's an incoming call from Laras.
"Hello, Ma?"
"...''
"Yes, this Ma Stella's going to the boutique."
"..."
"Yes, Ma, Stella doesn't mind."
"..."
"Together, Ma."
Tut's.
...***...
"Jeng, he said Sandy was getting married, huh?"
"Yes, in a moment, wait for Sandy to come home from Germany" Laras replied smilingly.
That day was the schedule of Laras' funeral with socialite mothers, before he had called Stella to pick up Aiden at school later.
Laras and his seven friends were in one of the luxury restaurants, precisely in an outdoor restaurant that can be seen from the highway. There were actually still three more members, but they could not attend because there was an event outside the city, and another was on a trip abroad.
"Listen-heard his future wife's widow too, huh, Jeng?"
Laras nodded. "Yes, it doesn't really matter if it's a widow or a girl, the most important thing is to take good care of Aiden. It just so happens that this would-be son-in-law loves my granddaughter very much, even my granddaughter is very close to her" she smiled.
"Yes, Jeng, the important thing is to love her son Sandy too, huh?"
"What does he do, Jeng, your son-in-law, by the way?" the other sahut.
"He's got a boutique business."
"Not beautiful, Jeng?" seductive one of the mothers nudged the barrel arm.
"It's pretty, it doesn't look like you've ever given birth" Laras replied chuckling.
The six friends stared at Laras in wonder.
"Yes, she has given birth, but her son died in an accident" Laras said as if understanding the confusion of his friends. "Lucky Sandy got it, she's a woman of care, understanding, affection for the family, not crazy possessions like some of the women who used to get Sandy," he added smiling wryly.
"Wahh, very lucky, yes, uh, sometime know dong, Jeng, to us," proposed a mother.
"Yes, Jeng, we're also curious, aren't we, Jeng?" others agree.
"It just so happens that he's busy, if I introduce you again." Barrel stood up from his chair. "I go to the toilet first" she said.
...***...
After school, Stella takes Aiden to the tutoring station, but due to an important phone call from Jery, Stella leaves Aiden to her tutor and will pick her up later.
On the way Stella sees Dewi walking into the restaurant, she intends to say that she has emptied her house, and Dewi can sell the house as soon as possible.
"Sir Udin, can you stop for a minute? I have business, you just wait here."
"Good, Miss."
Stella walked hastily even almost ran after the Goddess. "Mom?" call him.
The goddess who felt called turned her head, she stared cynically at Stella.
"Mom, Stella wants to talk to Mom" Stella smiled at the Goddess.
"You!"
A woman pointed at Stella's face with her sharp gaze.
Stella was no less surprised to see the Goddess who looked familiar with her mother Rega. "Tante Ayu?"
"Why did you come here?" ask the cynical Goddess.
The five women with socialite makeup turned to watch Stella and Ayu alternately.
"Do you know him?" tanya Dewi looked at Ayu then pointed at Stella with her chin.
"She's a brash woman who seduced my son, even my son is now gone because of this woman" Ayu snarled.
Stella was silent in her place. 'Reg leave?'
"Rega means?" ask one of the socialite gang members' mothers.
"Yes, Rega left the house because I didn't approve of her relationship with this woman" Ayu told the silent Stella.
The goddess was also startled, staring furiously at Stella. "You're really outrageous, Stella, after Hari died, is this your behavior? Seduce another man? Basic cheesy!" mean it.
Stella was fixated, suppressing her emotions so as not to wreak havoc by yelling at the person older than her, her heart was really sick of being humiliated like that, she was not cheap.
"So, is he your son-in-law?" ask Ayu surprised.
"Yes, she's my daughter-in-law I told you about," the Goddess turned to stare at Stella in disgust. "Shameful, you even seduced Ayu's son, Ste, where is your pride as a woman? Why are you like this? I think you're a good woman, Ste, but it turns out?" He nodded and smiled disdainfully.
"Mom, I'm not —"
"Don't it be true said Jihan, you snatched the fiancee of people?" accuse Goddess.
"Gosh, did you snatch people's fiancees?" ask Ayu surprised.
The five people who saw them looked confused and horrified.
"Mom, don't talk recklessly, I never snatch anyone" Stella argued.
"Allah.where there is a thief to ngaku," tepis Ayu. "Eh, Jeng, be careful with this woman, lest your children be seduced by this cheap woman" he added, staring at the five friends in turn.
"Tante, stop," hardik Stella who has begun to carelessly continue to be humiliated.
"What?! It's true, isn't it? After you tease Rega, now you're getting married to a wealthy widower. You must have teased him so much that he wanted to marry a woman like you, you cheap bastard!" maki Ayu yanking.
Both Stella's fingers were clenched. "Tante, I never seduced Rega, we were just friends. Aunty misunderstood," he said in self-defense.
Ayu smiled cynically. "Be careful, Jeng, it could be our husband - we are the next target," he said ignoring the defense of Stella.
"I thought the gatel widow was only in the movie, it turns out there really is, huh?" said a mother who sat on the other end staring at Stella in disgust.
"Yes, Jeng, baby, yes, pretty-beautiful co-actor."
"The widow's Image is indeed nothing good," the others added.
Throw down Stella's defenses, her tears rushing down her cheeks, she didn't expect to be insulted like that, she wasn't what they said she was. As hard as he was to hold the tightness that squeezed, even now all the visitors are staring at him.
Laras who had been observing from afar felt ignited emotions hearing the words that were thrown from his friend to his prospective daughter-in-law. He walked towards them. "What's this?"
Stella who felt familiar with the voice looked up, she gasped to see Laras there, she immediately lowered her head in shame. While Dewi glared at the prospect of Stella's in-laws there, could be wretched.
"There is a widowed actor, Jeng," a mother replied.
Laras looked at Stella who was looking down, then swept his gaze at all his friends including the Goddess. "Who do you call an actor?"
"This woman, Jeng," Ayu replied cynically, pointing at Stella who was down.
Barrel clenched his hands, walked over to Stella, embracing and stroking her shoulders.
Stella looked up at Laras who was smiling at her.
Laras stared intently at the seven women in front of him. "Do you know who you call actors? This cheap woman, this seductive woman?"
The seven women in front of him shook their heads slowly, they were slightly intimidated by the sharp gaze from Laras, because honestly, among them, it was Laras who had the highest power.
"He's Stella, KANDON.MENANTUKU," said Laras pressed his sentence, making them compact glared in surprise. "Never speak ill of my daughter-in-law, she is not what you are talking about" he added. "And do not carelessly speak without knowing the truth," his gaze pointed at Ayu. He takes his bag and pulls Stella to get out of there.
The five women in front of him looked at each other, they were worried or perhaps more precisely scared and unkindly had accused Laras' son-in-law. In fact, just a few minutes ago they found out how Laras told and praised his future son-in-law.
While Ayu is still in shock because she just found out that Stella who will be Sandy's wife, and also Laras' daughter-in-law froze on the spot, her mind floated on the incident a few months back, and her mind was still frozen, before Rega decided to move to Bandung. Has he really misunderstood her all along?
The Goddess trembled in her place, according to Jihan's explanation, the Sandy family was very rich, it could even do whatever they wanted. And now he thinks about his own fate how it will go.
...***...
Stella cries in the arms of Laras, both are now in the car, Laras stroked Stella's shoulder calms down.
"Are you okay?"
Stella nodded slowly.
"Don't think of their words" Baras stroked Stella's shoulders.
Laras. "What's up, Ste? How do you know Ayu?" ask carefully.
"She's Rega's mother, Ma, my friend, and she seems to have misunderstood my relationship with Rega, really, we're just friends" Stella said.
Laras nodded. "Then? Your in-laws?" tanyakanya. "That woman was your ex-in-law, wasn't she?" added ensure.
Stella nodded. "Actually ...." Flowing the story of Stella, from the beginning of the Goddess to her home borrowed money for the treatment of her husband, and also intended to sell her house.
Laras surprised. "You're agreeing?" guess it.
Stella nodded lethargicly. "I feel like this is the best, Ma, I've been sincere."
"Where will you live?"
"Stella can live in a boutique, Ma, there just happens to be an empty room in the boutique."
"You stay at Mama's house only, Ste," suggested Laras.
Stella shakes. "No, Ma, Stella's not nice to see, what do people say?"
"You're still thinking about other people's words, you'll soon be Mama's daughter-in-law, Ste."
"No, Ma, Stella is fine living in a boutique" Stella smiled.
Barrel grabbed Stella's body, how good the woman was. "You have to tell Sandy about this, Ste."
Stella pulls away. "Stella please don't tell Sandy, Ma," she asked.
"Sandy should know, Ste."
Stella clasps Laras' hand. "Stella please, Ma, Stella will tell him herself, but, not now," she pleaded.
Barrel looked at Stella inside, disagreeing with Stella's opinion.
"There's still more important business that Sandy has to deal with, Ma, Stella doesn't want to burden her with this problem" Stella said.
Laras sighed. "Alright, if that's your decision," the break relented.
"Thank you, Ma."
