Adibrata is made to flinch with a request made by his wife as a condition to get an apology from Angel and for Angel to return home.
Just imagine, ninety-nine percent of his entire property will be handed over to his wife's child, and only leave one percent for him. He can be poor instantly if indeed the conditions requested by his wife are met.
Not only was Adibrata shocked by the conditions mentioned by Angel earlier, Indhira who was stealing the talk of her two in-laws from inside the room was shocked. It never crossed his mind if his mother-in-law dared to submit those requirements.
" Ma, are you serious about that mother's request?" Adibrata tried to convince his hearing.
" why? Papa's got an objection, right? Yeah, already. Just meet that papa lang, and spend Papa's treasure with him! Bagas was used to not enjoying Papa's money. Mama is also sure Kartika will also get used to it, Let Kartika Mama take care of it! And Mama won't let Papa see Papa's kids again!" Angel threatened Adibrata by saying she would take Kartika and not give Adibrata a chance to see her children again.
Of course, Angel's last choice felt Adibrata more burdensome than just getting one percent of his total property. She will not only lose Angel, but her children as well.
" Ma, don't be like that! Mama can't watch Papa being shunned by children!?" adibrata Protest.
" Who are the children being shunned by Papa? Papa himself chose that! Papa is against Bagas and Indhira, who made Bagas go from home! Mama ran away also because of Papa's act of having an affair with a woman ja lang! Soon Kartika will be leaving Papa!" Angel said that what happened to Adibrata was because of the man himself.
Adibrata snorted loudly and rubbed his face rough. He looked at the wife who turned her face not wanting to look at him.
" Well, if Mama wants that. As long as you want to forgive Papa and Mama wants to go back home, Papa will fulfill the request of Mama earlier." There was no other choice for Adibrata than to obey what Angel asked.
Angel's eyeballs rounded instantly as her husband said he was responding to what he was asking for. She did not expect that her husband would willingly give up what he asked so quickly, without taking long to think.
" Yes, now Papa's home, and prepare a lawyer to process Papa's wealth for Mama and the children." Angel pushed her husband's back out of the apartment.
" But, Ma ...."
" Of course, don't protest too much! Just take care of Papa's price for us! Don't buy time before you change your mind!" After successfully bringing Adibrata out of the apartment, Angel then closed the apartment door, not caring about Adibrata who kept calling his name.
While inside her room, Indhira still did not dare to come out of the room. She was still surprised by her mother-in-law's request that she considered beyond her reasoning.
" Ra, Indhira ...!" Angel's voice called out to Indhira making Indhira gasp and rush out of the room.
" Yes, Ma." said Indhira. " Where's papa, Ma?" indhira asked as if she did not know what was happening outside earlier.
" Your father-in-law is home" said Angel casually. " Ra, if a guest comes here, you peek first of the peephole glass that is in the door. Don't carelessly enter people into this apartment." Angel advised Indhira to be more thorough in receiving guests.
" Yes, Ma." Indhira did not dare to argue, although he could not refuse if the one who came was his father-in-law.
" Yes, try you check, already where the bulge between our food orders is." After giving orders to Indhira, Angel then stepped inside her room.
The night after her husband returned home from work, Indhira told about Adibrata's arrival, including Adibrata's request to transfer property to Angel.
" Mom asked for ninety-nine percent of Papa's property?" Like Indhira and Adibrata, Bagas was also astonished to know the conditions that Mama asked for peace.
" Yes, Mas. I'm surprised, right?" ask Indhira.
" Yes, Yank. Where'd Mama get an idea like that, huh, Yank?" Bagas was very confused by his mother's request.
" I don't know either, Mas." replied Indhira.
" What was Papa's answer?" ask Bagas back.
" Papa seemed to agree to Mama's request. But, I pretended not to know, huh!? You see, I stole Papa and Mama's deal from the room." Indhira giggled by covering her mouth with her palm and asked her husband to pretend not to know what happened this afternoon in the apartment.
" So you eavesdropped on your Papa and Mama-in-law's conversation?" Bagas fretted without the energy of the wife's ears.
" Hehe, I'm curious, Mas." Indhira grinning. " Don't tell me, huh, Mas!? I'm ashamed to be caught mama eavesdropping." Indhira.
Tok tok tok tok
" Ra, Bagas, Let's eat ...!" From the direction of the room door, Angel appeared.
" Dad, Mama heard me say no, didn't she?" whisik Indhira was worried that her mother-in-law heard the remark earlier.
" Take a question ..." Bagas actually mocked the wife to make Indhira's lips pursed.
While eating dinner together, Bagas tried to confirm the arrival of his Papa to Angel.
" Indhira said Papa was here. Right, Ma?" tanya Bagas opened the conversation at the dining table.
Angel snorted while glancing at Indhira, making her daughter-in-law bow.
" Yes," said Angel who seemed lazy to discuss the problem of her husband.
" What is Papa talking about?" At his wife's request, Bagas pretended not to know.
" Your father is still trying to persuade Mama to forgive him" Angel said.
" then?" Bagas pretended to be curious.
" Mama gave a heavy condition to your father if you want to get an apology from Mama," explained Angel.
" What weight conditions, Ma?" Bagas put on a serious face. That guy was so smart to do his skit.
" Mom asked for ninety-nine percent of Papa's property for Mama, you, your wife and your sister." Angel revealed what she asked of her husband.
Bagas rounded his eyeballs, as if he was surprised by the conditions his mother requested, he dropped a spoon and fork in his hand. Indhira just held back laughing seeing her husband's acting.
" Mama's serious?" Bagas' tone was made as if in disbelief.
" Seriously .. Let your Papa be kapok! Don't you dare mess around!" Angel mentioned his reason for asking for that condition.
" Papa can suddenly be poor, dong, Ma?" Bagas now grinned.
Indhira leaned towards Bagas because her husband was impressed with what happened to Adibrata.
" Of the treasure of Papa fell into the hands of the ja lang, mending also for the family and Papa's own flesh and blood" said Angel. " You guys take it easy, later Mama will love you also the right for you," he continued.
" Ma, Indhira and I didn't expect that! Indhira and I have been happy with what we have been doing." Since deciding to leave his parents' house, Bagas was no longer expecting the property of the Papa who is his right.
" You expect it or not, you're still entitled to Papa's price!" assertive Angel who does not want to choose love and control the property of her husband himself.
" Did Papa agree with Mama's terms?" tanya Bagas asked her Papa's reaction about the conditions requested.
" Just please if your Papa refuses, but the risk is that Mama will take Kartika to stay with us here." Angel was sure, if her husband would not want to be shunned by himself and their two children.
