“Iya I know. Today I should have married!” said the woman
“Oh yes?“
“I left early this morning, I thought I had time to get an early flight”
“What you had to marry him?” ratna asked confusedly, the woman shook her head
“Then why did you leave your wedding?”
“I doubt will be happy with him, I hear many marriages fail, even the former couple is now the enemy of”
“Aheading a wedding there is always such a temptation, but if you are sincere in love, usually you will be able to get past that obstacle.”
“Love? We were close 3 months ago. He's the upperclassman at High School, he said he used to be interested in me and he always paid attention to me every time I and my cheerleader team performed. After graduating from school we did not meet . Five months ago he and his friend were reuniting at one of the cafes, I happened to replace my sick friend to help him at the cafe and he recognized me. I'm very surprised, it's been 20 years and he still recognizes me.”
“Maybe it's a soul mate?”
“That time I already had a fiancee, we were planning to get married next year. One day I caught him coming out of the hotel with another woman. He admits to his relationship, my fiance says he can't be tied to just one woman. I was so sad, my love for her meant nothing. When I was sad, Lucas called me. He said he was at the cafe where we met. I didn't want to linger crying over my depraved fiance, so I went to see Lucas. We talked for a long time, until it did not feel the cafe had to be open for 24 hours. It turns out that Lucas deliberately bought the cafe, in order to meet with ku” The woman smiled
“Wow, you are very lucky!”
“Really?” he's confused
“Of course, he bought the cafe where you work to get close to you, that means he likes you a lot!”
“Lucas is very stiff, but there are times when she is very clumsy, it makes her look cute” the woman smiles when remembering her future husband
“Your face looks shining when talking about your future husband, it means you have fallen for him!”
“Really?” The woman held his face
“ I give advice, well this is my experience that has been 2x married”
“Oh yes? You look young”
“Thank you, my first husband died of illness, we have a pair of boys and girls. When my son was a year old, I remarried my husband's best friend. I used to have a crush on her, we got married, then divorced 9 years later”
“Do you regret marrying a second husband and having a failure?”
“No, after all, I used to love her a lot, I hung my life on her, but then I realized she had an irreplaceable love.” Ratna's Story
“oya? How do you know?”
“He himself admitted it, and he divorced me. At first I was very sad, but then I realized that I was with him for only 9 years, nothing more. “
“What do you still contact him?”
“Of course not, I don't want to stay in the past, even if it's a happy time, but now it's no longer mine. I'm busy with my work, I'm grateful to be given health so I can raise my grown-up children”
“But what about your ex, what is still contacting you?”
“A year ago we had a chance to exchange news, it was because my second child was in his care”
“Hah? Kog can?”
“Yes, it's hard to believe, but that's what happened. We were close again, but his nature remains as it was. I don't want to be stuck in the same hole. So I kept my distance from him” Ratna's story
“Actually my ex-fiance called me, he apologized and begged me to go back to him” the woman showed me a message on her phone
“Because of this message you will leave your future husband?” ask Ratna wonder
“I intend to reject my fiance in front of him directly, I intend to beat him because he made me doubt my own marriage. I intend..” the woman stopped her speech, her tears were filled
“You hate it so much huh?” ratna asked, The woman nodded
“I hate him so much, even I intend to kill him!” said the woman again
Ratna sighed, and looked at the woman deeply
“Listen to me Dik!, Don't waste your life chasing a man like him. Killing him will not heal your heart. The best revenge, show him you're happier than him. You get a person who genuinely loves you. That's the most important thing, compared to you having to stay in jail to kill trash like your ex-fiancee!” ratna said firmly
“What if I'm not happy with Lucas? I've only known him 3 months?”
“When you guys get to know each other more in marriage, has Lucas been rude to you all this time?”
“Never!”
“Did he ever hit you if you guys had a fight?”
“Same as never!”
“My in-laws used to say, man if he dared to cheat or hit, or do both, it means he did it with the intention, if there is a man does not do it, it means he did it, you can take the risk to learn to love her”
“Learn to love? Can I?” tanyanya hesitated
“You'll never know if you don't try it, right?” ratna smiled
“Is Lucas going to take me back?” scares
“You said, You came out secretly maybe they didn't realize you weren't there?”
The woman smiled shakes her head
“No way, Charles is surrounded by people who love him, I doubt they didn't realize I went”
“Moreover that, if a loving person usually he will attract also people who are the same nature as him”
“Are you sure? Am I that kind of person?” said the woman
“As I said, you should try it first before saying no “ Ratna smiled
“We've been talking for a long time, sorry what's your name?” tannya
“I Ratna Sugiyono”
“ Ratna Sugiyono, I'm Alena Aleksandra!” Alena held out her hand
“Alena Aleksandra, beautiful and nice name”
“Thank you, Ratna is also a unique name isn't it?”
“I'm Indonesian”
“Oh, Indonesia, the Bali ?”
“Betul!, There is very clever Alena, Bali is indeed in Indonesia, many people who know Bali but do not know Indonesia”
“Bali is the land of the Gods yes, It's so beautiful beach, no wonder Indonesians are so positive like you!” praise Alena
“ Alena, I'm sorry I can't stay here long, My son has been waiting in front with his cab”
Alena looks disappointed
“It's a pity I want to chat longer with you!”
“Maybe somewhere we'll meet again” said Ratna, she hugged Alena
“Thank you for accompanying!”
“Congratulations on your marriage!, Good luck!” Ratna left Alena smiling and waving at him.
“Mama!” call Rita, she hugs Ratna and then picks up her suitcase and puts it in the trunk of the taxi
“And where?”
“Again no business ma,
“Basic Andi, her mother Came instead of being welcomed, even busy with her business!”
“So brother wants to come, then I said after from the airport we will take a walk, so brother does not come.”
“Mama came to represent grandfather?”
“Actually grandfather was also invited, but grandfather again hurt his leg”
“hah? What are the robot legs?”
“because grandfather was very happy with the legs of his robot, so he was forced to keep walking eh his legs were broken, now he was angry constantly because he had to sit back in a wheelchair”
“Iya, but to buy it must order first and it takes time. Your grandfather couldn't wait until he bought that robot foot factory!”
“Great yes grandpa, no responsibility!” rita was amazed
“How's your new school Rita? You famous again there?”
“Hah? Said who? Mama likes to read gossip magazines huh?”
“There, mama will send spies to your school, just in case you like fighting again!”
“No ma deh suer!”
“Then why are you famous?”
“itu maa.it..” Rita looks for reasons
“already, mama will not criticize you again, you are already big, already know which good is bad. Mama doesn't need dictation anymore, does she?”
“Iya ma right! Trust me Rita!” said Rita
“Eh Rit, by the way Daniel how?”
“Ehemm...good also kog ma!”
“You've already made it???” ratna asked, Rita blushed in embarrassment
“Yeah, you know where? Brother Andi yes?”
“No, actually Sugiyono's grandfather who is careless because you are not the same as Rendy
“Iya ma? Continues?”
“Before he insisted bring you closer with Rendy, he said whatever happened Rita should be the same Rendy!”
“Waduh!!, how to ma?”
“Darmawan's grandfather who opposes, only this time mama saw they do not agree. Grandpa Darmawan to say, if Sugiyono's grandfather is afraid of his investment is not back with the Rendy family, he will replace it!”
“Grandfather Darmawan said so?”
“Yes!, Mama will be in the same room when they v-call!”
“So grandfather bless Rita and Daniel?”
“He also did not say that, Grandpa Darmawan said, it is up to Rita, if Rita is happy, she will support one hundred eh not one thousand percent!”
“Waahh great grandfather!”
“Mama also up to applause, just this time mama saw Sugiyono's grandfather relented.”
“Why does Rita keep the hell that was inducted by Grandpa Sugih? There are many other grandchildren. Rita sure other grandchildren if offered rich Rendy on mau!”
“According to Grandpa Sugih, you don't GR huh? of all his grandchildren, only you whose aura exudes a star aura, so almost all those close to you will definitely not resist with your charm!”
“Ah grandfather could have praised if he wanted, indeed another granddaughter, how aura?”
“Aur-auran,.hehehehe...”.
“Mama could have, uh yes ma, Brother Andi protested, kog he is not betrothed? He is sad!”
“Really Rit? Wow coincidence then!”
“Why ma?”
“Mama has an old friend, she happens to have a daughter named Sabrina. Sabrina is currently attending Harvard University, studying law, semester 4. A few weeks ago, my mom met him at a party. Sweet child, Andi will be interested deh!”
“Manic? Did mommy ever lick?”
“Not so sweet, I mean mama her face is sweet, pleasing to the eye. Polite, he said well, even though the school in America is famous for its people's morals doubt!”
“Mama has her photo Sabrina not?”
“No, but mom once followed IG and his tock. Medsosnya mom monitor. People now if you want to see the attitude see the social media even some companies can know prospective employees from there.”
“What mom found something?”
“not there yet, so mama thought Andi knew very well first. Mama is also worried about Andi”
“Worry why ma?”
“Mama is afraid to see you guys too close mama is worried her relationship becomes complicated!”
“Ih mama, Brother Andi is blooded with Rita! Time until so?”
“That's it Rit, so Andi needs to be introduced to the outside world, with girls besides you! You also have to support mom?”
“Iya ma, insya Allah, but did Sabrina want to come now?”
“Gak now anyway, later after this event is finished, maybe the big families of Darmawan and Sugiyono will hold family gathering!”
“oya? Where is ma?”
“YA in Jakarta, mom has asked permission from Grandpa Darmawan to take you to Jakarta.”
“What can be the same Grandpa Darmawan? As Rita remembered, he did not like Rita to offend or even intend to go to Jakarta again. He was afraid Rita would stay back with dad.”
“Indeed Rita wants to stay with Dad?”
“Neither Ma, Rita is happy here, the people here are good. Rita also intends to go to Jakarta but does not know when. But if there is an event held, yes already Insya Allah Rita come.”
“Mama heard from Saye, you haven't contacted your father yet? Is the email or letter not answered? Why Rit? You still mad?”
“Anged huh? I don't know ma, but at this time Rita does not want to remember about father, Rita's heart is not ready!”
“hmm..so yes?”
“If accidentally meet on the road how?”
“Dad on the road? Wherever possible ma, all this time the father's world was only a hospital. In addition there is no more, unless he was invited to a seminar, it's another matter. But when traveling? It's not possible!”
“Eh Rit, not so to the mall deh, mama jet lag nih, to the hotel yuk, mama curious about the castle hotel you told me!”
“Ooo, yes deh” Rita requests a taxi back to the castle hotel. A few minutes later they arrived in their room
“Waahhh cool Rit, so classic!. Where is Andi's room?”
“brother's room, 4 rooms from here, mama want to see you? Rita will call!”
“Don't first, mama wants to fall down for a while! Mom is tired. You don't mind your mom sleeping, do you?”
“Iya ma, Rita stay yes?”, Rita out of the room and headed to Andi's room, there she met Andi and Daniel who were engrossed in playing games
“Lho do you guys not monitor CCTV?” ask Rita wonder
“Brides is back, he said he went to his old house to pick up his favorite shoes” Daniel said
“Weleehhh..so just kog make a scene!”
“Rit, mom is in the room?” ask Andi
“There is a brother, but do not be disturbed first, he wants to collapse, jet lag he said”
“You didn't participate in the blessing ceremony?” ask Daniel
“No, we follow the reception only, Mr. Simon also understand.”
“Oo so, then I'll come with you guys!” Daniel is back to playing the game.
“What time is it?” ask Andi
“Jam 7 tonight, then family dinner. The recipe itself tomorrow morning at 10”
“Lumayan nih, but we as guests, you should not go out first, not good at them anymore worship we even go for a walk. Better we stay in each room break!” said Andi
