Mother's explanation

Saras confidently stepped foot into his parents' house, after last night he failed to get there because he came home too late now he was standing at his parents' house.

Unlike the present day the door was wide open, Saras eyes down the simple yard in front of his house, there is no bicycle father there that means the father has gone to work.

"Relix! why are you standing there." The voice of his mother's call disperse Saras' reconnaissance.

"iya ma'am" Saras walked over to his mother and kissed the back of her hand.

" Ashallammualaikum, mother"

" wa'alaikumsallam." Saras' mother welcomed warmly. "Well in, what are you doing there?"

" yes ma'am, yesterday I came here but the door was locked tightly, but I saw Laras from the window of his room, I told him to open the door but he said he was in brackets. Bener ma'am??" Ask Saras directly without stale bases.

Their mother and son had started sitting in their living room seats.

Mother nodded her head and Saras saw a look of sadness on her mother's face.

" Why did it get like this anyway ma'am, kasian Laras. Why are you the same father as this with Laras." Saras took the sad hand of his mother, but Saras still wanted to ask for answers.

" Your father didn't like my brother falling in love with that young man of the city."

" But why? Johan is mom's good son"

Saras' mother still did not answer.

" Have you ever known Johan, or accidentally met Johan and noticed Johan's vices? " mother shook her head with Saras' speculation

" What is mom?" Saras grew curious but now his mother's tears began to drip.

" Because he's Aji's nephew."

Hearing his mother's answer Saras still did not understand and Saras' mother understood that the answer did not make Saras her son understand.

" Usually we, mother, father, and Aji were schoolmates even Aji and your father were friends. They both fall in love with mom but I prefer your dad because mom loves your dad."

" Aji felt bad for her until Aji kidnapped her and nearly raped her, thankfully your father arrived on time and saved her honor"

" Since then, your father hated Aji so much, especially when we reported him to the police he could easily be released from prison."

Clearly Desi's mother was at length with tears remembering her dark past.

" Yes, because Johan's son is Aji's nephew, your father disagrees. I'm just afraid if your sister is being played with and also afraid if this is only Aji's way of getting revenge on you."

Saras stroked his mother's back and she also shed tears, Now Saras understands what her parents are afraid of.

" buk, mother don't worry Johan loves Laras from the heart, now he is picking up his parents to propose Laras. He's sincere buk."

" Where are you sure Saras."

" It was from the beliefs of Saras and mas Sigit." Saras was confused as to how he explained to his mother.

" Let's just say ma'am, let's try to buy time for Laras' matchmaking not to happen while waiting for Johan to return." Saras suggested.

" are you sure about that young man?"

" yes ma'am,"

" Well, I'll try, but if I can't resist your father's wishes, I'll raise my hand."

Laras smilingly gets support from his mother for her sister's happiness.

' you'll be happy deck, same as mbak'

" oh yes ma'am, I have other news to tell you"

" What is nduk?"

" Mom will soon be a grandmother."

Saras's mother's smile expanded as if she could not believe what she was hearing.

" Really?"

" yes ma'am"

" Thankfully you must guard your womb carefully until you are exhausted and have many thoughts."

" yes ma'am."
