Melati stepped closer to her husband and sobbed. Her new mom Chery was so moved by all the words, said Moses Elruno, her husband.
Melati held her husband's shoulder and then sat down next to him. Moses turned his head in shock to see his wife who suddenly joined the "honey?"
"Ma, I'm sorry Melati. The decision to marry is Melati's decision. Melati who agreed, ma" said Melati while looking up at the beautiful face of her mother.
Her mother Melati immediately let out a long sigh and raised her head to look at such a beautiful twilight sky, trying to find some understanding there.
"Ma?"
Madame Teja Kusuma finally lowered her head and grabbed Moses' shoulders and Melati "wake up you guys, we go in first! it's not good to see the neighbors!"
The newlywed couple finally got up and stepped inside following the steps of her beautiful mother Melati.
Ray, step slowly following everything.
Moses sat next to his beloved wife and still sobbed. And so is Melati.
Ray, sitting on the single sofa that is between the seat of Madam Teja Kusuma and forging her boss.
"You're impregnating Melati?" ask Madame Teja Kusuma face ready to pounce on Moses if, that's true.
Moses shook his head very loudly "no, Melati is a very innocent and kind girl, which I might have the heart to impregnate him out of wedlock.
"Then what is out of control that requires you to get married immediately?" Melati's mother began to get frustrated and combed her hair rough with her fingers.
"Ma......."
Moses immediately clasped Melati's hand, as a sign that Melati was silent "emm, all started from a case of kidnapping and stabbing that occurred in Jaya Wijaya park twenty years ago. The problem continues to roll until now. Her father Melati saved me, without us expecting it to drag Melati into danger. Me and Melati are still in their sights, even now my son is in danger" Moses began to explain in detail.
"Then?" mama Melati started to cross paths.
Moses took a deep breath and continued his story "Yesterday, Melati and Chery My son was almost kidnapped and the culprit must have become very furious because of his failure. Our side thinks far ahead if, the culprit will definitely come back to attack us. They failed to bring us down in the real world so we are sure that he will use another way, through cyberspace, through social media"
"Continue!" this time the index finger and thumb finger of her right hand mistress Teja Kusuma, already attached pretty on her chin.
"We were afraid that this time they would spread the word about my son. My son does not have a mother. I also don't know who the mother of my son is and.........."
"Why don't you know who the mother of your child is? how did you meet your son? his mother didn't meet you and handed him her son, did she?" Melati's mother began to feel astonished.
"Chery, just left the same mother in front of my door" replied Moses.
"If that's what it's like? how can you be sure it's your real son? you've done a DNA test?" ask her mother Melati.
Moses nodded his head.
"Ma, Melati decided to marry Moses Elruno because, Melati already fell in love with Chery. If we get married, we can save Chery from the nyinyiran of everyone who would insult Chery as an illegitimate child and other cruel words. Melati can not bear, ma" said Melati.
"Why don't you find the birth mother of your child and marry her. Why would it be jasmine?" mama Melati continues to shower Moses with questions like a prosecutor in a court.
"I also don't want Melati to sacrifice anymore for me" Moses again sobbed "Delati has lost her papa for me and now she's lost her youth for me too, sorry" Moses replied.
Madame Teja Kusuma returned to her arms and let out a long sigh "you haven't answered my question"
"I don't intend to find her real mama Chery because, I don't want to deal with a woman who can throw away her own biological child. If I were to find and marry her, I'm not sure the outcome would be good for all of us because, I don't know how the character of her real mama Chery is, what her name is, who her parents are, who she is, what's his job and whether he'll love and love Chery like Melati................."
"That's why, yesterday we asked Melati to be willing to marry Mr. Moses Elruno, for Chery's sake" said Ray.
Melati's mother turned her head towards Ray "who are you?"
"I am his personal assistant to Mr. Moses Elruno" Ray replied as he nodded his head politely towards his mother Melati.
Madam Teja Kusuma began to pursed her lips and thought. What should I do now. They're already married. Where could I have separated them. For what God has united cannot be separated from man. Looks like Melati and Moses are destined to be together.
"My husband, did you tie a common thread to the two of them, from Heaven there?" her mother said Melati in her heart.
"You said you loved my son?" madam Teja Kusuma said later.
Moses nodded his head excitedly "i love your daughter so much"
"How big?"
"The sacrifice of your husband. When the deceased saved me from the kidnapper twenty years ago. I would protect Melati like that and love her like that, sincerely unconditionally" Moses said as he turned to Melati.
Melati's mother smiled happily at Moses Elruno's reply. Good, if he loves Melati that much. Her mother Melati felt very relieved.
"And you, Mel? youlove her? what about the clouds?" ask Mama Melati.
"We broke up before Melati married Moses. Cloud cheated, ma" said Melati lirih.
"You haven't answered her questions, Mama, you love her?"
Melati silent silent. She turned her head in turn towards her husband then towards her mother instead of answering questions from her mother.
"I will make Melati love me, I will try my hardest to win your daughter's heart and I will be patient waiting for that day to come, the day your daughter said love sincerely with me, while looking at me as I am now" Moses said in a firm and serious tone.
Melati was stunned to see his gaze Moses was so deep and cold for her.
"Ehem" his mother Melati cleared her throat.
Moses and Melati immediately turned their eyes to look back at her mother Melati.
Moses immediately stood up and rested in front of his mother Melati "thank you very much, um, can I call you, mama?"
Mama Melati grabbed both of Moses' shoulders "wake up! of course you should call me mama, I'm your mama-in-law"
"Aaahhh, thank you ma, thank God" Moses felt very relieved and very happy.
Ray was grateful in his heart. Hope this is a great start for you, sir. May you always be happy like this. Ray said, in his heart.
Melati stepped closer to her mother. Standing beside her husband. Her mother Melati then got up from her seat and hugged them both.
Ray, step out into the car. Leaving behind his master who had already managed to win his heart-in-law.
"May my mother carry it?" ask Madam Teja Kusuma while releasing her embrace.
Moses smiled happily and nodded his head.
Melati releases her shawl and carefully puts Chery into the arms of her mother Melati.
Melati's mother held Chery's nimang and kissed Chery on the cheek "she's beautiful and adorable, it's worth it if you love her so much, Mel"
"Thank you, ma" Moses said.
"Oooo yes, have you eaten yet?"
"Yet, ma. Moses wants to take mom out to eat now" Moses said.
"Mama's cooking, mama's permission to go home early when Melati called mama and said she wanted to go home"
"Moses is not good, it's been a hassle" replied Moses.
"Not bother, which assistant are you? take him out to eat together, come on! mama cook quite a lot, if Melati go home tuh mama feel the need to prepare a lot of cooking let Melati satisfied but..........."
"But what ma?" ask Moses.
"Everything's favorite food jasmine, hopefully you like it too, yes"
"I'll love whatever Melati likes, ma" replied Moses as he looked on his beautiful wife's affection.
Melati smiled blushing back at her husband's gaze.
"Call your assistant, gih!" mama said Melati as she stepped into the dining room and still carried Chery.
Moses smiles and steps out to take Ray and Joko to dinner.
Ray got out of the car when he saw Moses stepping towards him.
"What's up, mister?"
"You're invited mama to dinner, come on! Joko too, come on Ko! please bring Chery's stroller down!"
Ray immediately lowered his stroller Chery.
Ray and Joko follow Moses into the house and head to the dining room.
Moses pushes Chery's stroller and says "ma, just put Chery to sleep here?"
"OK" her mother Melati said as she kissed Chery's face and threw Chery into her stroller.
"Please enjoy! ala perfungnya, this is all her favorite food Melati, if Melati come home then mama will prepare all this cuisine because, mama thought this aunt princess must miss her mother's cooking and miss all her favorite food. There are vegetable asem, sambel terasi, tempeh and fried fish, the same spicy claw, let's taste!" said her mother Melati while stroking elus slowly her hair Melati.
Moses stared at the asem vegetables, tucked sambal, fried tempeh, fried fish, and chicken claw. Honestly, he has never eaten a vegetable.
Melati immediately took a bowl of asem vegetables for her husband.
"Please don't hesitate!" mama Melati said excitedly.
Ray and Joko nodded their heads, then took the rice and immediately took the asem vegetables along with all the dishes. They began to enjoy their dinner with ravenous and happy.
"Darling, how? yummy?" ask Melati.
"Hmm, I like" Moses then whispered "later when you come home you cook for me, yes, exactly rich gini!"
Melati smiled happily and immediately nodded her head.
"Enak, son?" ask her mother Melati to everyone.
"Lezat aunty, numero uno, nih" said Ray.
"Yes, this madam is very incendiary" said Joko.
"Moses really likes it too, ma'am" Moses said.
"Thank God that everyone likes it, spend it!" her mother said Melati while she smiled her beautiful smile.
