Honestly better, but I'm afraid things won't be the way they used to be.

" Are you sure you're not papa son?" asked Madam Vani while walking towards the restaurant inside the mall.
" Dhira is fine Ma." He replied with a smile as he walked following his mother-in-law who always held his hand.
" We're gonna eat first, baby, Mama's hungry.?" Bring Candidates in-laws
" Yes Ma." He answered with a sincere nod and smile.
Entering a restaurant that is not crowded enough daj choose to sit next to the glass that shows the crowd going outside as people walk to find fun in the mall.
Order different foods and drinks, and hand over the food menu when they are done choosing the lunch menu.
" Sit here, baby." Pinta Nyonya Vani told Dhira to sit next to her, obey her mother-in-law and sit next to her.
" Face forward." His orders, and he still obeyed.
Slowly Madam Vani removed Dhira's hairband, making Dhira frown and not protest until she felt touched when her mother-in-law combed her messy hair and tied her hair back gently and neatly.
Smiling with eyes that began to look glass in the treatment of her mother-in-law like her own child and not ashamed to justify her hair in public like this.
" It's been." Madam Vani said gently rubbing her daughter-in-law's shoulder.
A moment to wipe away the tears that were still standing so that her in-laws would not look and turn to face her in-laws with a smile.
" Thank you, Mama.?" Dhira said sincerely, and nodded at Madame Vani with a smile.
" You don't want to tell Mama the same story?" Said Madam Vani, making Dhira speechless and bowing her head.
" Mommy doesn't force you, baby, but remember! Mama will always be there for Dhira and will always be there for Dhira to lean on, if she is tired and needs friends to vent." He said with a warm smile and rubbed his daughter-in-law's back.
Staring at her mother-in-law who was smiling warmly and affectionately, made her hug Madam Vani. Crying in the arms of a mother-in-law withholding the sound of sobbing so as not to provoke those who see it.
" No papa, there's Mama, Papa and Revan who will take care of Dhira and Alex's sister. Mama won't leave Dhira." Mrs Vani assured Dhira, who is not alone anymore, with eyes that began to ponder when she felt how her daughter-in-law was so fragile and needed support for her to complain.
The touch of a mother that Dhira never got from his mother, only from Bik Minah who always strengthened himself to stay with the situation and Bik Minah who was always loyal until now.
Releasing her embrace and bowing her head to wipe away the rest of her tears.
" Thank you Ma, for accepting Dhira as your mother's daughter-in-law." Dhira lirih.
" Not a daughter-in-law, baby! but the second daughter of the mother with the first is your sister-in-law." He answered, gently rubbing Dhira's cheeks, making Dhira smile.
Not wanting to force her daughter-in-law to tell her who the woman who almost slapped her was. Let Dhira tell her herself when she is ready to tell her.
But she knew that Dhira's gaze on her mother and daughter was deeply rooted in her deepest hatred and she would never forgive her entire life.
A waiter came with food, put it on Dhira's table. Thank you so much when the waiter leaves.
" Let's eat, baby." Invite Madame Vani, just nod and eat together with once they chat and laugh.
" Want to continue again do not look for clothes for men." Ask Madam Vani.
" Mama's not tired.?" Ask Dhira.
" No, my mom is still strong." He said, who got a little laugh from Dhira.
" Let's go, Ma." Take Dhira with spirit.
Decided to go home, drove his son-in-law home and stopped right in front of Dhira's house.
" Don't want to go into the house first Mam.?" Ask Dhira.
" When, baby, it's afternoon. Kasian papa nyariin Mama." He replied with a small laugh, making Dhira laugh.
" Be careful, Mom, and thank you for the clothes." Dhira.
" Yes dear. enter the house, take a bath, eat and rest." Mrs Vani said with attention to her son-in-law.
Just nodding and smiling, kissing her mother-in-law's hand before she gets out of the car. Entering the house with him who carried a large bag in his hand and frowned when he saw his biological mother in the living room, sitting quietly while playing mobile phone.
" Bik.!" Shouted Dhira, looking at her biological mother who was staring at her.
" Dhiro." Greetings Madam Devi.
" Minah Minah!" He shouted once more, without regard for his mother's greeting.
Bik Minah who heard the cry of Dhira immediately ran to get to him.
" Sister Alex mana bik." Ask Dhira.
" Mas Alex was taken away with Mas Dika Non" he replied, which made Dhira feel relieved.
" Bik please, next time don't accept random guests."
" It's your Mama Dhira, not someone else.!" Madame Devi exclaimed, making Dhira look at her.
" Mama!" with a cynical smile "Sorry Madam, my mama is gone, when she decides to leave her husband and children and re-marry a rich man." Her impression with a sharp look at Madam Devi, as if she was ready to vent her anger in front of her biological mother now.
" Mama did it all for you, so that your papa can get treatment, so that you and Alex don't go hungry." Answer Madam Devi.
" For Our Sakes.!" while squinting. " It's not for us, it's for you." Dhira.
" What kind of mother dies when her husband and child are in trouble and suffering without anyone's help, what kind of mother leaves her family when they need support.What kind of mother is that, I ask.!" Challenge Dhira by raising the voice by an octave.
" I don't need money, I just need the support and encouragement of a mother. Spirit, if we can get through just that together, nothing more!. But it's not in you, leaving your child without knowing how a child's heart breaks." He said again with eyes that began to glaze over.
Hearing all the complaints of Dhira, somehow the instincts of her heart a biological mother also felt tight, closed eyes shed tears when her daughter complained about the destruction she had lived in.
" Non Dhira.?" Lirih Bik Minah who was beside Dhira to try to calm him down.
Exhaling heavily, trying to regulate her anger so as not to raise the high note on a woman who had already given birth to her.
" You better go home, I'm so tired." Smoothen Dhira and give way to his mother.
Staring at her biological daughter who did not want to look at her, took a bag and stepped away from Dhira's house.
On the doorstep Madam Devi meets Revan and makes her a little surprised when she sees him.
" Mister Revan." Lirih Madam Devi, only returned a small nod and smiled briefly before she entered the house of Dhira.
Turning back, she wondered what Revan was doing at her son's house and was surprised that Revan hugged and calmed the crying Dhira.
