Amadea was waiting for an online taxi she booked in front of the house when her mother came over.
There were 2 suitcases and one bag containing a laptop and personal files appeared to be hidden on the terrace table.
"Dea, I-mom just needs more money. I don't mean to push you. It's good that your room is rented." Riris Sayuti approached her daughter who was now sniffed at her.
Dea just shut up. The more he said, then he knew the debate his mother would become longer.
"Dea, you can move to your husband's house faster. So not papa, right? Melisa needs a ride." Riris Sayuti changed her tone to be softer.
Dea was silent. He was too upset until the message from Mandala that he had been waiting for was not able to reply.
Oh my goodness, what a hard thing to wait just 2 or 3 days. Even if he wanted to now, Dea was upset because suddenly his mother came while angry and seemed to throw him out of his own room.
"Dea, are you angry? Mom was just an emotion because you have been 3 days more just sleeping in the room." Riris Sayuti again seduces Dea. Being threatened about money made her turn out to be as sweet as a fairy godmother.
As his mother was still standing beside him in a long tone of voice that seemed to whine, Dea finally turned her head.
"Tumben Ibu did not mention the word disability again when calling the name Mas Mandala. Yes, yes, Mom. I'm moving out today. The important thing is that you don't bother me anymore about money.
We agreed that I'd transfer every month to Mom in debt. Mother's meal money and needs are more than enough to use father's pension. If outside of that Mom is wasteful and a waste of money because of the same prestige of Mom's friends, I don't want to gig.
I want to rent the former work space father used to be a boarding room again also no papa. I'm even glad I thought to myself how to get extra money if you want to foya-foya. You know how to spend money, you have to know how to scream, right?" Dea said half insinuating.
Riris Sayuti immediately grinned.
The middle-aged woman knew very well what her daughter said was completely true. But yes, his name is already prestigious. He was embarrassed to look poor eating him all this time always extorting money from Dea's work to look rich.
"Udah, Mom. I'm gonna go. The taxi came. If yesterday she said I was embarrassed to come to my wedding and said the designer clothes I brought were ugly, I don't know, Mom.
Mother came just as not come also my marriage remains valid. In fact, I'm embarrassed that every time I mention Mas Mandala's name, I always carry around his disability.
Bye, Mum. I hope you're happy now that I'm completely out of this house. Remember when Mom almost kicked me because I fought with Om Alik? I was sad to leave but Mom seemed fine so yeah. Bye."
Amadea then put the suitcase into the trunk of the taxi assisted by the driver. His mother just looked up from the porch waving her hands.
Dea returned her mother's hand while trying to keep smiling. Dea hated her mother's miraculous attitude and behavior, but she gave birth and raised him. Yes, although of course all that is also thanks to the love of his late father.

Riris Sayuti went straight into the house as soon as the taxi Dea was riding away.
"Melisa, Dea is gone. Oh, my God, I deg-degan." Riris immediately sat on the chair.
Melisa who was still wearing a backpack sat on the chair.
"Isn't it really papa, Mom? Meli's scared." Melisa still occasionally looked towards the door. Maybe fear suddenly Dea appeared again there.
"Udah calm down. She was crazy about her disabled husband. Don't talk about Dea. Where are you papa? Well, where did you sleep yesterday? Said he was evicted by the contract owner." Riris Sayuti inexplicably acted so softly towards her stepson.
Riris Sayuti shook her head in concern.
Yes, he still likes the man who has cheated and made it wrapped up in hundreds of millions of debts. It was like being blinded by his love.
Although Dea was tired of telling her that Om Alik was a fraud, but her mother still insisted that her new husband was also deceived. It's just bad because the business is not going well.
"Geez pity your papa, Mel. How about now? Just get her here. Dea was gone too. Aye, right?" Riris Sayuti looked reckless.
Ah, did he forget both the promise and the threat of Dea? Dea will not help the debt repayment if she knows her mother is still in touch with the new husband she has asked to divorce.
Riris Sayuti not only broke his promise, but Dea's trust was already broken.
Other than secretly still being in contact with each other, he even sent her money. The food of Dea's giving money always runs out quickly not knowing what to spend.
Now his son he settled here and he even invited the man back to live here even though Dea was gone.
Then why doesn't Dea know about Melisa? It was because from the beginning he was fed up with that man named Alik. He also did not want to know about the man's life, why he became a widower, why he divorced, whether he had children from his first marriage. Dea doesn't want to know.
Dea's meal was unsuspecting when Melisa appeared at the door of her room with her mother.
"Mom, isn't it dangerous if Mbak Dea finds out? Could later. Papa says Dea's mad!" Melissa commented.
Riris Sayuti laughed.
"Quiet down. Safe!" Answer's relaxed.
Melisa nodded and called her papa.
"Hello, Pa? Mrs Riris said, Papa can stay here again. Dea's mother has moved into her future husband's house. He's getting married in a minute. Here you go, Pa. Melisa tired of moving, hitchhiking. Yeah, Pa?" Melisa whining.
Riris Sayuti settled down expectantly. He wanted to return with the man, to live together without Dea's intervention.
Could it be that it could happen?
Will Dea get suspicious and end up spotting her mother's lies?
Dea is now pensive in a taxi. He will move into the new house like a palace. Her husband's house later. She will be Madam Mandala.
How smiling? Sad him?
Drttt!
Phone's vibrating. Mandala called.
SERIATE..
