After arriving at the airport and taking care of everything that must be taken care of, Reza returned to meet Ichal and Supri. Reza and Ayu already wanted to enter the waiting room.
"Son... From now on I will call you son, and you call me Father, for you are already my son-in-law...
And as a father... I'll leave my daughter with You, please treat and guide her well, if your wife will make a mistake and already do not want to hear advice from you, please, please give him back the same Dad well, because after all, your wife is Dad's son...!". Ichal gives Reza a short message, after taking off his farewell embrace.
"Yes dad... I will remember your message, pray for us to live happily ever after!". Reza answered again hugging her in-laws and her best friend.
Reza feels very heavy leaving Ichal alone in the village, especially Reza is very know the nature and character of Ichal, who is always bored with monotonous work, such as farming.
"Son... Appreciate your husband, listen to what he has to say and study hard... I love you so much, son!". Now Ichal turned around to hug Ayu who was standing beside Reza.
"Yes Dad...!". Ayu replied as she continued to hug Ichal.
It seems Ayu has not wanted to part with Ichal, but what can be done, his name has been heard throughout the arrival room.
"Go Nak .. if there is a time and opportunity, I will go visit you there... Be nice with your husband...!". Ichal took off Ayu's embrace.
"Dad, Mr. Supri. We're leaving. See you soon!". Reza cheers on Ichal and Mr. Supri.
Ayu also joined his father and Mr. Supri.

Until Jakarta...
Reza was picked up by the office driver, because indeed Reza did not tell his father, if today He and Ayu will return to Jakarta.
This day, Reza hasn't been in touch with her mom and dad. Reza just called the private driver who works at his office, to pick him up this afternoon.
Actually Reza wanted to give a surprise to his two parents, but not in the thought after arriving at the house of his parents, only Susilo sir who welcomed Reza and Ayu.
"Please go in, son. don't hesitate, consider it your own home!". Said Mr. Susilo, Reza's father when he picked up his son-in-law in front of the house with several household assistants who worked at the main house of the Reza family.
"yes pah...yah...!". Ayu replied nervously and tried to smile sweetly.
Ayu was amazed to see the house to two old men Reza is so big and magnificent according to Ayu. Usually Ayu only sees a house as good as this on TV.
Ayu's eyes did not stop staring at the big house in front of her, until Reza embraced her, then Ayu realized from her amazement.
"Son... come on in...!". Mr. Susilo approached Ayu and pulled her hand gently.
"Oh yeah yeah... Thanks thanks!". Ayu replied, following Reza's father's step into the house.
"Well... Which mama?". Reza asked after entering the house and did not find the mother in the living room.
"Oh... Your mother is on top...!". Susilo replied pointing upwards.
Hearing her father's answer, Reza did not continue her question. Reza thought that his mother was not feeling well, because only this time the mother did not pick him up, even though he had just returned from out of town.
"Take your wife sit there. Papa will call your mom for a minute!". Mr. Susilo gave Ayu's hand which he held from earlier to Reza.
Seeing her father riding on the top floor, Reza crawled Ayu towards the sofa and sat there together.
Almost Fifteen minutes Reza was sitting alone with his wife, even tea and snacks delivered by the assistant Reza household was about to run out, but neither papa nor mama Reza had yet to come down from the top floor.
While upstairs, precisely in Reza's room, Darti's mother, Reza's mother was sitting on her son's bed only wayangnya while turning her back to her husband.
"Well, let's go down, meet our daughter-in-law!". Take Mr. Susilo to Darti's mother for the next time.
"Anyone who meets him. That woman is my son-in-law!". Darti's mother replied still turned her back on her husband.
"Had Pah..mama didn't want to acknowledge the girl as your daughter-in-law, so just tell Reza, if I'm not feeling well, so can't see them!". Darti's mother cut off her husband's words while waiting for him to finish.
"Whatever mama...
Susilo came out of Reza's room after feeling unsuccessful in persuading his wife.
"Za... invite your wife to rest in the room there!". Mr. Susilo spoke while pointing at the door not far from the living room.
Hearing her father tell Reza to take Ayu to the guest room. Reza can already guess, if something goes wrong between her father and mother.
"Good Pah...
"Let's go baby.. I'll drive you to camp, you'll be tired...!". Reza invites Ayu to enter the room.
Once again Ayu was amazed, after arriving in a room so spacious plus, beds and cabinets made of wood carving jepara.
"While we're staying here, baby.I'll take you to school tomorrow... If you want to take a shower, there's a bathroom!". Reza spoke very softly to Ayu who looked like a dazed person.
"Darling... Go out first yes, you just rest here, I want to talk to my father about work...!". Reza says goodbye to Ayu before leaving his own wife in the room.
"Yes Mas..!". Ayu's short speech.
After Reza came out, Ayu sat down for a while, then walked around looking around the room, Ayu opened the bathroom door and looked at the toiletries, and then looked at the toiletries, like Ayu used to take a bath at the Reza hotel when her grandmother was hospitalized.
After looking at the bathroom, Ayu walked towards the window, which was half open. Ayu looked out and saw that there was a quite beautiful garden behind her room.
Ayu stood for almost ten minutes at the window to enjoy the view of the garden.
While Reza, speaking in his father's study. Reza felt there was something his father had hidden and why his mother did not welcome him, when it should have been, his mother was happy because Reza finally married and broke the issue of his mother's arisan friends, about Reza being abnormal.
But Reza was surprised because the mother even reasoned if she was sick, to avoid Reza and Ayu.
"Well... What's the pain mama has?". Tanya Reza opened talks with Susilo sir.
"Actually...
"Not sick... Reza already guessed it's a reward...but why did Mom do this reward?, What if Anandita is uncomfortable pa?". Reza cut her father's words with a slight tinge of emotion.
"Yes my son, as much as your mother disagrees with the actions you take, by marrying your best friend's son, and I have persuaded and spoken to your mother, he said, but mama you still don't want to listen to papa!". Susilo replied with a tone of voice of regret for not succeeding in giving understanding to his Wife.
"Didn't you promise to talk to me. But why do you still behave like that?". Tanya Reza was dissatisfied with her father's explanation.
Reza is very worried, if Ayu is uncomfortable with the nature of her mother who does not approve of their relationship.
"You should be patient, son. Maybe your mother is Shock because it's too soon for her!". Mr. Susilo tried to give understanding to Reza.
"Yes.. had been Pah.. if the mother is still like that until dinner for a while, means, inevitably Reza must bring Ayu tonight to live in Reza Pa's apartment!". Reza can't do too much for now, because Reza knows her mother's character is hard to persuade, unless her father is a little harsh with her mother.
This is not the first time, Darti's mother is like that, but what makes Reza afraid is Ayu, who is, Reza did not want his wife to feel uncomfortable if she knew her mother-in-law did not approve of her marriage.
