Reno couldn't possibly reject Dita's call, she pressed the green button to connect. Dita's voice was heard across the street.
"Father, have you been to Mama Rachel's house?" ask Dita as soon as the phone is connected.
Reno looked at Rachel. Tears had fallen down the woman's cheeks. Her longing was cured hearing the voice of Dita, her little daughter. Yuni was so moved to see that. He knew that she loved her daughter very much.
"Waalaikumsalam, Son. Dad's at Mama Rachel's house now" Reno replied. Dita does not realize that her father turned on the amplifier at Rachel's request.
"Then I'll call Dad again. Greetings to Mama Rachel, Dad. Tell me I love Mama very much" said Dita.
Hearing Dita's words, Rachel couldn't help it anymore. He took the phone in Reno's hand.
"Honey, why are you evil with Mama," said Rachel in a stammering voice from crying. Dita across there also couldn't help but cry hearing Rachel's voice. Second mother to him after Yuni.
"Mrs ...." That's all I can say.Heard her sobs.
Rachel stood up and moved away from the crowd. He brought Reno's phone into the room without asking permission first.
Axel and Lisa who saw that became speechless. Only then did Axel realize how much his mother loved Dita.
"Why are you blocking Mama's number?" ask Rachel.
"I didn't block it, Ma. I'm just changing numbers" Dita replied.
"Then why don't you ever call your mom or give her your new number?" Rachel asked back.
"Sorry, Ma. I just gave my number to Mom and Dad. I want to concentrate on learning, Ma!" answer Dita.
Rachel was silent for a moment, she understood if it was all Dita's attempt to forget about Axel. However, he was also difficult away from the girl. From her birth to this world, Rachel has been close to Dita.
"Alright, Honey. Take care of your health, do not forget to eat. Get enough rest. Mama loves you," said Rachel.
"Yes, Ma. Happy 20th wedding day. May mama and papa endure until death do us part. I always pray God always protects Mama and Papa wherever they are" said Dita.
"Yes, Honey. May you always be protected by God, and have happiness always" said Rachel.
"Ma, don't be. Pity Lisa if Mama keeps this up. The soul is in God's hands. Even if you want Dita, if she's not Axel's match, she'll be separated too. And vice versa. If Lisa is Axel's soul mate, no matter how hard Mama opposes, they will still be united" said Farhan.
"Mas, I don't believe in a soul mate. I just haven't gotten used to being away from Dita. About Lisa, I still accept it if it is Axel's choice," said Rachel.
"Then we regroup. Try to accept Lisa. Who knows his presence could replace Dita," said Farhan.
"We will never be replaced" said Rachel. Farhan smiled at his wife's words.

Lisa was silent when Axel drove her home. He was still disappointed by the reception of his lover's extended family who did not pay the slightest attention to his presence.
"Why are you quiet?" axel asked to see the lover was just silent from the house earlier.
"I don't think about your family. Still asking about Dita's whereabouts. What is Dita's advantage that all your family cares about her so much? They were hypnotized by the girl. Everyone asks about him. Even though he has gone and did not give news, your family should be aware that Dita does not want to connect with them," said Lisa.
Axel took a deep and long breath. He could feel Lisa's annoyance. None of the extended family welcomed her presence, including her own mother.
"I'm sorry for my whole family. I promise I'll talk about this with them. I make sure at the next meeting your presence will be welcomed," said Axel.
Axel stopped his car on a fairly quiet road. She clasped her lover's hand as regret and apology for the attitude of her extended family.
"I'm sorry again. I don't mean to make you sad like this" Axel said with a tone of regret.
"I'm also sorry for not being the girl your parents wanted. I survived because I love you so much. I also promise I'll try to be the girl your parents want me to be" Lisa said.
"I love you so much. Thank you for all your understanding" Axel said.
"I'll try to get both of your parents to bless us, no matter what. I will not let go of the gold mine like you. I have known all the riches of your parents that will fall into your hands. If I can't have you, your cousin Gafi can too. I'll make sure one of you is mine" Lisa murmured in her heart.
