It had been half three in the afternoon, but Rara had not yet woken up from her nap. Making Ratna who originally watched TV also went to her son's room.
"Tok tok."
"By!"
Not long after that, Rara appeared behind the door. With a typical face of people waking up.
"The school of prayer, Dzuhur's time is up," Ratna reminded the baby, who was answered by nodding by Rara.
After the prayer Rara meets her dinner table for lunch, because her stomach is very hungry.
"Ra, if you want to eat call Adam first, your husband hasn't eaten him either. I told her to, but she didn't want to. He said just be with you."
Ratna, who saw her daughter sitting in a chair, told her daughter-in-law.
"Now he's behind Lani's house, helping Furqon build a chicken coop" Ratna continued.
With a sense of reluctance Rara went to the back of her sister-in-law's house, where her husband was.
Actually, Rara had been up from earlier, but she was reluctant to talk to Adam then chose to pretend not until Adam left the room.
His cocky taste in the husband made the woman pretend not to know when Adam woke her up to pray as well as lunch. And now when the mother has interfered, of course, Rara can no longer be indifferent, because the end will be long later. Although with a frown and a cocky heart Rara still went to Adam and invited him to lunch together, all Rara did for the sake of the mother.

Rara sat on the front porch. His eyes looked at Adam who was playing ball with Ali, Furqon, Alan and Lani's two children as well as several other neighboring children. But actually Rara's focus is not on them because she is daydreaming of her husband's behavior.
Yesterday Adam was good, but these few days Adam is back to being annoying making Rara do not know what he wants.
So cool to daydream Rara until not aware if the mother is sitting next to her.
"By!" Call Ratna.
Rara turned her head, looking at Ratna who was already sitting next to her.
"Mother called from earlier you were just in. Wh why? Is something bothering you?"
Rara nodded, "no ma'am?"
Rara tries to lie because she does not want to tell Ratna about her problem with Adam which will make her mother sad.
"Don't lie, son. Mom's been your parent for almost thirty years. And I know exactly what you are like. You will often daydream if there is a problem."
Ratna did know the habits of her youngest daughter who would often be dumbstruck and daydreaming if there was a problem that she could not solve.
Moreover, seeing Rara's treatment to Adam made Ratna so sure if there were problems in her child's household. Because all this time Rara has never been rude to the stage of not caring about her own husband. Because Ratna always taught her daughter to always obey and serve her husband.
"Same story mom! Who knows if you can help."
"There's no Mom."
Rara tries to convince Ratna that she is okay.
Ratna nodded, agreeing with the princess. Maybe Rara can't go straight to the story but it has to be in the pot first, thought the mother of three.
"good. If you don't want to tell me the same, I don't have a problem."
Ratna rubbed Rara's shoulders gently, being thoughtful.
"Thank you mother."
Rara hugged Ratna tightly. Then leaning his head against the mother's shoulder, as well as Ratna, he rubbed his son's head affectionately.
"You know Ra, for a parent like this mother, seeing that you're healthy, Ali's healthy, Adam's healthy, and his other kids are healthy, she said, being happy with each other's partners and families is more than enough even though it does not have to be in love with a lot of money.
For us parents, the happiness of their children is the most important."
Ratna told him what she really felt, so that her son would know too.
Rara looked at the mother's face.
"Therefore, no matter what happens I hope you are always happy. Because your father and mother married you to Adam so that you would be happy. You don't need a handsome and rich daughter-in-law but what you expect is a man who can always make your child happy, smile and laugh even though he can't always give money to parents."
"Then what if the marriage is due to the mandate of the parents, and the child is not happy with the partner who is betrothed? What if he chose divorce would be a disobedient child as well? For not being able to fulfill her parents' request?"
Rara asked the thing that had stuck in her heart all this time to her mother.
Ratna who began to understand the subject of the problem faced by her son stroked Rara's hair berahan. In the heart of the woman said, maybe the marriage of her son with Adam was not happy?
While looking at the princess's face, Ratna opened her voice again.
"Ra, father and mother betrothed you to Adam in the hope that you would be happy in the household, for I know he is a good man who can guide you and make you happy. But if you are not happy in marriage, parting is a good way. Because after all, mom and dad want you to be happy, not sad."
"Then, am I going to be a bad boy, Mom? If I split with Adam?"
"What choice of mother? Choose me to continue with Adam or choose to split?"
Rara looked at the mother's face, asking for a definite answer.
"What's really going on between you and your husband. Tell me I can make the right decision for you!" Ratna Pinta.
Rara echoes, "mom answered first choose which one?"
Ratna.
"Whatever your decision mom will support, the important thing is that you are happy. Now you tell mom what really happened?" Ask Ratna.
Rara also tells about all the problems that happened with Adam from a to z and back again to a. Likewise with Ratna he listened to her son's story carefully, without cutting Rara while talking.
And that's where Ratna just found out if it turns out that Rara's household is not as beautiful and the Semanis she has seen so far. Although little Ratna realized the awkwardness of Adam's attitude every time they visited but Ratna did not know if their fault was that complicated.
"Now what should I do, ma'am? I myself am also confused to separate or continue. Honestly, if I continue, I still doubt Adam's equation for me. But if I split the part with Ali?"
Now Rara's tears have been reminisced, just one blink must immediately spill.
Rara grabbed her daughter's body full of haru.
"I really can't make a decision for now Mom. I'm confused" honestly mama Ali.
"Mom knows baby. I understand your feelings. Calm your mind first, do not make decisions when you are angry or in a hurry. Because hurry is satanic. So slowly, if necessary pray istikharah first ask for guidance with Allah.
What is clear is that you do not have to worry about mother will support whatever decision you take that is important that can make you happy."
Rara nodded in agreement, "then what should I do, ma'am? If I choose not to divorce Adam what should I do?"
Ratna sighed. The mother-of-three explained that if the long-distance household as Rara lived today is indeed a greater possibility of a partner to cheat than those who live together. Although basically all of it is based on the personality of each person, also their loyalty to their partner.
Therefore, to pressure Adam not to cheat again, Rara must stay with Adam. Rara can apply for a job transfer in the city, at a school not far from where Adam lives.
"If Ngajuk moves, it can't be as soon as Mom. At least I have to wait a year before I can move. As for all that time is there any guarantee that Adam is loyal to me?" Rara asked doubtfully.
Ratna thought, looking for a way out for her daughter's problems.
"Oh yeah Ra, you have a car, right?" Ratna asked suddenly.
"Yes, Mom."
"You're serious about learning the car. I can take my own car anywhere. So you can come to Adam's apartment at will, whenever you want. That way you'll know what your husband did in that apartment. Whether he cheated or not. Whether he was with another woman or not. Try to come quietly without news."
"Rara knows. I mean Rara's mother often gives her the same surprise as Adam by coming suddenly, right?"
"Yes so."
"So you'll know your husband's activities."
"If the kangen just come right away do not need to be delayed, right ma'am."
"Dear, don't have to be delayed. Songs are for the sake of meeting your own husband."
Ratna also advised her daughter to be a strong woman in fighting for her household if Rara would indeed give a second chance. Who knows, Adam really did change and deserves a second chance.
"Thank you ma'am for your advice and advice."
Rara hugged her mother tightly and affectionately.
"Honey together," replied Ratna, hugging Rara in return.
While being cool hugging came Zaskia approached them and asked Rara for help for Momong Husein because she wanted to pack for their return to Lampung later depleted magrib.
"Adam's going to take the bus agent tonight, right, Ra?" Alan asked who was already standing behind Rara who was bowling Husein.
"So it looks like mas. But more certainly ask the same person directly."
To determine whether Adam would actually take them home later or not, Alan immediately asked Adam who happened to have finished playing football with his children and nephews.
"Dam's gonna be the next time I go home, right?"
"So mas. You see, I promised the kids I'd take them for a walk out."
"If you really want to go for a walk and take Lani with Furqon as well as all of you. Let it be more rame" suggested Ratna.
"Boleh ma'am. Later let Rara say the same to Lani. Is that right, baby?" Adam asked, rubbing his wife's shoulder.
Rara nodded in agreement.
