11. Go home

"What did mom say? Think about it carefully. Marriage is not for two days, but forever. You are too lazy without thinking about the consequences. If it's just an excuse to love his son, you don't have to marry his father." Her mother's words could only make Kirana fall silent.

He just got home. Not a warm welcome received, but rather an expression of his mother's frustration that may have been a month or more unexpressed. Was it because her half-hearted mother's blessing made her marriage unhappy? That thought had crossed Kirana's mind.

"Nana's sorry." That sentence was unable to continue. He used to be so determined to accept the proposal of Mrs Ratih. And now his mother's words are proven if he's unhappy. Or maybe it's not time he got it.

"Astaghfirullah's. Ma'am, the new Nana's coming. Let him rest first."

Kirana looked up at the heavy voice of her father. He went from sofav approaching his father who had just returned from the mosque. Whether because of longing or wanting to take shelter, Kirana hugged her father and cried bitterly. Mr. Restu let his daughter shed tears. Until the clothes he was wearing were soaked.

"Have you?" Mr. Restu rubbed the head covered with the veil. The affection poured out by her father was enough, so Kirana for 25 years of her life did not intend to just establish a close relationship with men.

Kirana unravels her arms to her father and falls back on the sofa.

"Mommy already feels that the man is not serious with you. I can see from the way he was when he married you. No need to really! Don't take your mom and dad at all."

Kirana must understand her mother's attitude. In general, men who would marry a woman would come to see their family but Tristan never even did it all. Only Mrs Ratih asked for permission over the phone.

"Already, Mom. Not necessarily Nana came because there was a problem with her husband."

"Mom knows very well how our son. If there's no problem why did he come home with so many clothes?"

Mr. Restu joined in sitting next to his daughter. "Mom knows that Nana's husband is busy. Who knows, he didn't have time to drive." he said later.

"God! As busy as anything if indeed he loves his wife will certainly take the time to deliver. Making sure his wife gets here is fine. You want to defend that irresponsible son-in-law?!" bu Ambar said, refuting her husband's words.

Arguing his mother's words was the same as pouring gasoline into a spark. Kirana also chose to be quiet. What his mother said was true. A mother's feelings are always sensitive. However, Kirana to share the story of her household even though it was with her parents. After all, she is a wife. It is not appropriate to expose the ugliness of the husband to anyone.

"Baraka. Her mother said she wanted to ask you. If only you had a little patience to wait for him." Miss Ambar took a rough breath.

"Mom, Mas Baraka never said anything to Kirana, how could Kirana wait for someone who never gave her hope."

"You should know, Nduk. Baraka does not want to date. He wants to focus on his business and complete his S2. He wants to try to make his wife and children happy later. Have you been insensitive that he likes you" said Bu Ambar with a face full of regret.

"Istighfar, Mom. Our son has a husband." Mr. Restu interjected so that his wife was not too far away.

Ms. Ambar, who was increasingly upset because she felt her husband was defending her daughter-in-law, moved out of the chair. Then left Pak Restu and Kirana in the middle room.

And now she felt as if her mother was cornering her. It was as if Kirana was guilty of having chosen another man. Moreover, he was not lucky because the man of his choice was not as expected by his mother.

Kirana also breathed a rough breath.

"Don't take the heart of your mother's words, Nduk. He's just disappointed. A few days ago Baraka's mother said that Baraka would come home and propose to you. Your mother and her mother Baraka had intended to besananan. But what to say, a soul mate is not .they who are chatty." Her father's words made Kirana stunned . The matchmaking plan of the two mothers who often studied together was never revealed to Kirana.

"Sorry, Dad. If it turns out Nana disappointed Mom and Dad. But Nana can still stay here for some time to come?"

"Of course, this is your home too. Why ask permission? Even if you're married, whenever you want to come here or stay.here even if you don't mind."

Kirana nodded. His father's words that always sound soothing make him more comfortable to pour everything on the father. Even though he was very close to his mother. It's just that Kirana's decision to marry Tristan may have been so disappointing to her mother.

Kirana looked at her mother who was in the room. Sitting on the bed with a blank look. Guilt was further undermining Kirana. So great was the impact created because of his decision so quickly he took. Not only for her, but also for her mother.

He stepped in and rested, holding his mother's feet. He begged forgiveness for the woman who had given birth to him. The two women's cries broke at the same time. There's nothing wrong. All just a misunderstanding that needs to be cleared up.

"So what you said was true, Kirana?" asked Bu Ratih after the two of them felt a little calm.

Although her heart was troubled, Kirana slowly nodded. Right now he needs a place to lean. And his mother's embrace made him able to come back strong.

"Mas Tristan is actually a good man, ma'am. It's just that he's still stuck with his past."

Madam Ratih gave a rough sigh. "You're too good to be a wife. Still hurt defending your husband. Listen Kirana, I never forced you to marry a man that was in your best interest. But at least you choose a man who can appreciate you. Take care and love you sincerely. Mom and Dad since you were in the womb until now never let you have trouble. I'm not willing if suddenly someone else comes along and just hurts you."

"Sorry, Mom. Kirana's sorry." Kirana shrinks the water that melts back.

"Find happiness in your choices as long as you can find it. If not, don't be a fool for loving someone. Look at the outside world. There are many things that can make you smile. You're young, don't sacrifice yourself for someone who doesn't appreciate you."

"Bus …. "Kirana was stunned to catch the meaning of her mother's speech.

"Mother will not interfere in your affairs. You're all grown up. You can decide what's best for you."

Kirana nodded even though she felt her mother was insinuating her. He returned to his mother. The warmest decapitation that only a month ago silenced it. Kirana knew very well, her mother had such a broad heart. Although sometimes accompanied by explosive emotions. His heart will open afterwards.
