Grace snorted harshly at Agatha's insinuation saying that she and Rizal had come to her mother's office to show off their happiness. Rizal looked calmer. Rizal immediately rubbed Grace's arm, so that his wife was not provoked by emotions.
Agatha herself still stood with her arms folded in her chest and a cynical look, as if not liking Grace's presence with Rizal in her office this morning.
" Mom, why do you have such thoughts? We came here because we really wanted to visit Mama, like a child to her parents," Grace said her goal was to meet Agatha, not at all to show off against her.
" If you think of Mama as your parents, why are you against Mama? Why don't you devote yourself to Mama by following what you want, Grace?" Agatha made Grace's words to attack her daughter.
" Mam, I did, man! Why is Mama still having that problem!? Why can't my mom accept our marriage? I'm happily married to Papih, Mam! Mama should be able to see our happiness!" annoyed that Agatha still cornered him, Grace was provoked to say in a high tone.
Agatha frowned hearing Grace calling Rizal Papih. It felt like swerving in his ear when his daughter who he knew the tomboy was wearing a Papih call on Rizal which he considered too excessive.
" Papih? You call this Mr Rizal Papih? You should have realized, Grace! If Mr. Rizal is better suited to be a Papa than your husband!" Agatha insinuated the way her daughter called Rizal. Without any other means, according to Agatha, a man of Rizal's age does not deserve to be Grace's husband. Men Rizal's age is more pandas bearing the predicate of a father to Grace.
However, Agatha's speech this time actually made Rizal and Grace widened to look at each other. They both misinterpreted Agatha's intention and purpose in saying that line. Even Grace thinks that Agatha actually secretly likes Rizal. No wonder Agatha actually likes the figure of Rizal. In addition to Rizal is very good looking, Grace also had time to match Rizal for his mother.
" You mean, is this Papih better suited to being Mama's husband than to being my husband?" sindir Grace quickly interpreted Agatha's words earlier.
Agatha gasped when she realized that she had picked the wrong word in conveying the intent of her speech. Moreover, his own daughter immediately gave a heavy insinuation for the mistake said earlier.
" Didn't Mama want Papih as Mama's husband, so Mama's blocking us from getting married!?" Grace immediately thought negatively with her mother's intentions.
Agatha rounds her eyes, as Grace accuses her of obstructing Rizal and Grace's marriage because she likes and wants Rizal to be hers. Though he said as before does not mean as Grace accuses him, although I must be the figure of Rizal is indeed very charming. But, how could he compete with his own son for the sake of getting a man.
" What nonsense is that!? You don't make it up, Grace!" tepis Agatha immediately because her words had caused a misunderstanding.
" Didn't Mama say that herself?" Grace is still attacking Agatha with incisive insinuations. He still misunderstands Agatha's intention of not wanting Rizal
" You don't talk carelessly, Grace!My mother never had such a wish!" Agatha did have time to feel fascinated with Rizal's good looks. But, he still denied Grace's accusation that he wanted Rizal.
" Mommy doesn't like me accusing Mama, but Mama herself is just as willing to accuse us!" cibir Grace was still on a high note. He was upset at the allegations of his mother who considered that if his arrival only wanted to show off his happiness married to Rizal. What's wrong? After all, it is not commonplace if the child shows that he is very happy with his marriage. Parents should not be happy to see their children happy in the household.
" Dear, don't talk to Mama like that." Rizal, who has been listening to the debate between children and mothers, now begins to take a stand, because he does not want Grace and Agatha's relationship to worsen because Grace married him. Rizal advised Grace that she should respect Agatha as a child to her mother.
" Sorry, Mom. Grace and I came here, because we wanted to visit Mom as Grace's parents and as my Mother-in-law. As Grace's husband, I am obligated to guide Grace, in order to honor Mother as the parent who gave birth to Grace. I don't want the mother-daughter relationship between mother and Grace to become more tenuous because of our marriage. I hope, Mother can understand us." Full of authority Rizal spoke, trying to make Agatha understand and not misunderstand his intentions. He explained to Agatha that the famous designer who is her Mama-in-law status was not misunderstood.
Agatha turned her face after listening to the sentence spoken by Rizal. It must be admitted by him, Rizal is full of charm, not only from his appearance, but from his attitude and speech. No wonder if his daughter also fell in love with the charm of Rizal. To not mind the difference in attitude and age of the two of them is very striking. Grace stubbornly because she was very young, while Rizal was wiser because she was an adult.
" So, we better get out of here. There's so much more to do than waste time here!" Grace placed the cake for Agatha on the table, then she pulled on her husband's arm to immediately leave Agatha's office. He chose to go from there rather than continue to be seen arguing with his mother
" I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm sorry if I'm not pleased with our arrival here" Rizal said goodbye to Agatha while Grace did not say goodbye because she was upset with Agatha. The stubborn woman was reluctant to succumb to the figure of a woman who was none other than her own mother.
Not inferior to Grace, Agatha also chose not to respond to the departure of her son and daughter-in-law. He simply turned his face away by folding his hands on his chest.
While Rizal, who understood if the two women in front of him were both having a hard character did not bother to find Agatha who ignored him. She leaves Agatha's office with Grace.

" Papih see for himself, right? The mother remains stubborn, not appreciating our efforts to make peace!" After returning to the car, Grace again grumbled complaining of Agatha's stubbornness. He felt free to come to Agatha's office if Agatha's reception was still that loud to them.
" You are just as stubborn! When facing a stubborn person, it must be with a gentle attitude. It won't work if faced with a debate." Rizal advised Grace to be more patient in facing her mother. However, a child must understand and give in to his parents.
" The papih always blames me!" Grace is upset that she always blames him for arguing with Isabella, or with her mother. According to him, Rizal never defended him at all and always considered himself always on the wrong side.
" I don't blame you, Grace. I just want you to be more patient. Later you will become a mother and have children. I want our children to be good and obedient to us. Therefore from the beginning we must get used to being kind to our parents. So that our descendants will become children who obey and love parents." Rizal explains that Grace began to lower her ego by not continuing to argue with Agatha, at least not saying hurtful words to the parents, even though Agatha did not approve of their marriage. She wants to start from now on, Garce learns more patiently, because someday, Grace will also experience parenthood for their children.
" Mama should have heard that Papih again spoke this way, let Mama realize that Mama had misjudged Papih!" Grace thought, if Agatha knew, if Rizal always tried to instill positive things in her, maybe Agatha would change her mind judging Rizal and blessing their marriage.
Rizal's laughter was immediately heard in response to Grace's complaint about Agatha's attitude. He felt his wife was overvaluing him. Because what he did was solely because he wanted his wife's relationship with Agatha to improve.
" You don't keep flattering me, Grace! I'm afraid your mother will be completely fascinated with me. Hahaha ..." Rizal laughed loudly in response to his wife's words so that his wife did not continue to complain about Agatha's attitude to them
Grace turned her head towards Rizal who was laughing happily sneering at him. However, she did not feel angry because her husband had mocked her.
" Don't be honest, huh! If you never knew me and suddenly Papih knew Mama, would Papih fall in love with Mama? Mama is beautiful, you know, Pih! Although she's almost half a century old, Mama still looks beautiful and attractive." Grace was curious about Rizal's attitude towards her mother, so she asked Grace about it and demanded Rizal's honesty towards Agatha
" What are you asking, honey? If I don't know you, how could I possibly meet your Mama, Grace!" Rizal refused to wish. He also never thought he would like a woman like Agatha.
" Iihh, I said I wish! Had Papih known my Mama, would Papih have fallen in love with Mama?" Grace still asks the same thing. Because he wants to know how the husband behaves to his mother if they are not married.
Rizal smilingly turned towards Grace at a glance and returned seriously with his wheel. She still refused to answer Grace's question. Not because he wanted to cover up, but because he felt there was nothing to explain to his wife over her attitude towards Agatha
" Answer dong, Pih!" Rizal's attitude that only smelled a smile made Grace feel curious and suspicious if Rizal also secretly liked Agatha.
" You know what kind of woman I knew before, right? If I don't know you, I'm definitely a widower right now. Your mother's figure won't make me fall in love. But, the figure of his son can make me crazy." Rizal blinked his eyes with his hand poking Grace's chin making the wife feel happy to hear the answer.
" Bhhh ... Papih ..." Grace Langung was struggling spoiled and embracing her husband's shoulders.
" Garce, I'm driving, you know! Don't let me lose my concentration!" rizal protested, chuckling at the spontaneous action Grace had taken on him.
" Geez, Papih! Just a hug, doang!" Grace immediately parsed her embrace, as she realized that her husband was holding the wheel. It is too risky if he takes actions that can endanger them while driving.
***
Isabella comes to an apartment sent by someone who needs private services to teach her son. Isabella was ruled by the Bimbel Society where she taught private lessons.
Isabella's steps stopped right at an apartment unit on the third floor number twenty-five. The same number as the address on the incoming message.
" Huft, finally found the place." Isabella was relieved that it was not too difficult to find the address of the apartment she was heading to.
Isabella then pressed the apartment bell and waited at the apartment owner to open the door immediately. Twice Isabella pressed the bell, then the door of the apartment was opened.
Isabella frowned as she got the figure that had appeared from behind the door. The figure of the man felt familiar in his eyes, but he forgot to ever see where.
Not much different from Isabella, the figure of the man immediately narrowed his eyes with eyes watching Isabella stick from head to toe.
