"Dad, sorry Mely!" he said with a cry, Mely knelt before Mr. Ali who was sitting on the sofa. Mr. Ali was deeply moved by Mely's attitude today. This time her daughter apologized to her. Although a myriad of excitement that he created so often run away from home and suddenly returned. But, Mely always felt her actions were not wrong.
Which father's heart did not melt, seeing his daughter apologise sincerely.
"Yes son, I'm sorry too. I admit, this is not a good father." Said Mr. Ali with a sad face. He asked Mely to get up. Then they embraced warmly.
Mr. Ali felt like a failed parent, because he couldn't educate Mely. Maybe the result of pampering Mely from childhood. So Mely grew up to be the girl she wanted.
Mama Maryam, very touched by today's incident. With teary eyes, Mama Maryam turned her head towards Rival who was still standing next to her. With a smile, Rival embraced his mother-in-law.
After the sad spectacle was over, they dined solemnly. Although Mely felt bad, because of her behavior earlier. But he tried to act as usual. He looked at Rival who seemed to be enjoying the meal in front of him. Feeling noticed Rival turned to Mely, He smiled. Mely returned a smile and then refocused on the food before her.
After dinner, Mr. Ali took Rival to the back garden. Rival also agreed to Pak Ali's invitation.
While Mama Maryam seemed to take Mely to a room. Where that room would be Mely and Rival's room. The room is on the first floor. When pressing the room door handle. Both of Mely's eyes bought to see the contents of the room.
The room was very spacious minimalist interior decoration combined with modern design. Both styles can make the bedroom look very comfortable. The room looks more elegant with a blend of brown, cream, and white colors. Mely loved the feel of the room.
"Ma, this is a very nice room." Mely said happily with sparkling eyes. Her two beautiful eyeballs highlighted all corners of the room. His mood suddenly changed to happy and happy. A room like this is his dream room.
With his broad strides, he walked into the dressing room. Check the closet in the room. It turned out that Mely's clothes in the old house had been partially moved to her room now. Likewise, bags, shoes and other items are complete in the dressing room.
Mely approached her mother who was sitting on the edge of the bed. "Ma, the idea of who designed my room like this. I really like Ma." Say it with sumringah. He held her mother's hand. He could not wait for his mother's answer.
"Who else would it be if not your father prepared all this." Said Mama Maryam returning her daughter's warm gaze.
Hearing her mother's words, Mely went back limp. "Ma, why did Dad change after Brother Rival was present in our family?" his words were lethargic, putting his head on his mother's shoulder.
"Dad hasn't changed, it's just your feelings." Mama Maryam said, She glanced at her daughter who put her head on her shoulder. He also took his daughter.
"But, Dad now if you talk to Mely, her words are very spicy Ma. Like earlier, what do you mean I'm talking like that. All this time no matter what Mely, his father must be good and always patient to face Mely. But, why do you always sniff around with Mely now." Mely said sadly. It was clearly visible from his already foggy eyes.
"Dad is dear to you, son. He was just scared, Rival left you. Because of your nature as you like. Change, don't talk about it anymore. Don't go up the mountain again or play with your gang. Mama's afraid Rival doesn't like her." Mama Maryam said, still looking at her pouting daughter.
"But Ma, not necessarily Dad threatened, would find another wife to Brother Rival." Said Mely annoyed, still in the embrace of his mother.
"Yes Dad feels guilty for saying that. But all that was thrown away, because I'm getting tired of facing you. Please son, from now on change. Poor Dad, he's been a light receipt." Mama Mely now grabbed her daughter's shoulder. Staring closely at his two eyeballs Mely.
"Have I been that bad all this time? so you're disappointed now for me?" mumbled Mely in the heart. He immediately hugged his mother, not feeling any tears fall on Mama Maryam's back.
"Let's go to the back garden. There's a barbeque there." Mama Mely moved from her seat. She wiped away her tears as well as Mely's tears. The two of them finally walked towards the back garden. Joining the others.
In the back garden, Rival and Sari were flipping meat on the grill. Mely's heart started to heat up looking at him.
"Ma, look at Sari. He always sticks with Rival Brother." He spoke slowly in his mother's ear. Mama Maryam turned to look at Rival and Sari who seemed familiar roasting the meat.
Mama Maryam. "You must be wise and mature. Where might Rival be tempted with Sari. You've already taken your husband." Mama Nur, pushing her daughter slowly to walk to the roasting place.
"Darling....!" said Mely who is now standing on the right of Rival. He rewarded his Pepsodent smile with his friendliness.
Rival turned to Mely, who was smiling at Pepsodent. "What the hell is the story of old Mama actually just joined." Rival said, He looked at his wife's face that was a little puffy.
"So Mama Ajakin look around the house all our rooms." His speech was friendly, which made Sari cough in front of them.
"Oohs... The meat is ripe. Sari quickly grab her container." Tell Rival, quickly sari take the grilled meat container.
"I'm the only one holding the container." Mely extended her right hand to Sari. With hesitation and annoyance, Sari gave the container away.
"Sana, you just help Bi Siti." Mely said, staring intently at Sari. So that Sari did not wince.
"Yes Miss." Sari walked lazily leaving the couple, occasionally she looked back, looking at the couple. "Miss just bother. Why do I have to be nongol?" Mely mumbled and approached her brother who was busy preparing sambal eyes and other snacks.
Sari continued to watch Rival and Mely from a distance. He vented his frustration by squeezing the tomatoes he held to shreds and spurting on to his sister Siti.
"Sari, what the hell are you doing?" Bi Siti was angry, because of the splash of tomatoes. Sari was silent but her eyes were still staring at Rival and Mely unhappily. Seeing her sister's behavior, Ms. Siti was aware. That her sister was jealous of Mely.
"Don't be crazy you want to ruin Miss and Mr. Rival's relationship. I was thinking your brother was joking, taking into account the great master's words. But, looking at you so frivolous. Brother became convinced, you were serious about what you said earlier. Throw away your desire to enter the life of Lord Rival. If you still want to work in this family." Said Bi Siti, slapping hard the upper arm of her sister who was in love.
"It's not that easy, brother. Ever since Rival Brother came to this house. I already like
Even when Abang Rival has not healed, I have put my heart to him. How could I just forget about it. Moreover, Brother Rival also seems to like me. He was nice to me. Wanna talk to me, wanna sing with us in the park." Say it with teary eyes.
"Sari, realize you. Mr. Rival is good. You don't Baper with his kindness and friendly attitude. Mr. Rival won't look at you. Aware....!" bi Siti was upset. He really did not think with his brother this one.
"But I like it brother. Rival's brother is so unpretentious." He said softly, staring resentfully at Rival who was feeding Mely with smoked meat so unfortunately. Which makes Sari's heart tearing.
