Evan invited Rio to come visit Aaron's house, of course Rio's arrival was warmly welcomed by the grandfather

Aaron endlessly gave a kiss on the face of his granddaughter who was getting bigger and taller

" what are you feeding, Rio." asked Amelia who also welcomed the arrival of Rio and Evan.

" nourishing food." said Rio with a smile.

Aaron asked Rio to stay overnight of course followed by Evan, even Evan was without hesitation to reveal if he would stay at Aaron's house

Harun and Hamid although they are no longer successful, they still often make friends, sometimes Hamid and his wife come to visit Aaron's house, sometimes Aaron and his wife who come to visit his mansion Hamid, and his wife, various activities held by the family, they invited each other, and,

for some reason at the last meeting they had at Hamid's mansion,

Hamid expressed the burden that came to his heart, they spoke seriously in a closed room, only speaking four eyes without being noticed by people

the divorce that happened to the Lolita and Evan households was not only the two of them who experienced it, such as the domino effect, those around them both also experienced fluctuations in feelings, like Zubaidah who get scorn from friends in his activities, although not saying directly, whispers of neighbors, up to his ears, to his, sometimes in between the chatter of his friends accidentally or not offending his son and ex-daughter-in-law, this is the anu, which carries a psychological burden for Zubaidah

neither did Aaron, he who was even worse, sometimes his household, used as an example is not good for some people, in the area where he lived, in scorn, in ridicule,

Even Amelia once cried, without wanting to be known by the husband, even though Aaron knew the incident that made his wife cry, especially if he accidentally heard the gossip of the neighbors who were nosy with their families

but not entirely like that, there are some who are concerned, and pray for them to go beyond the difficult phase of their lives

Aaron himself had felt how he accidentally heard the blasphemy scorn, even the insults they threw at his family

" don't let our children and grandchildren marry their descendants Aaron." said mother A.

" eheh.." said mother B assented the statement of mother A.

" their descendants must have married, and divorced.."

" married must have been more than once." said C's mother

" yes.yes, that's right." said mother D.

Blah...Blah....Blah....

Aaron left the conversation of the mothers, rather than he still continued there, who would only be more hurt because of the words of the unweighted neighbors who continued to gossip the lack of his family

fate is the same in the mother continued Lolita, she was the same as the husband, often, even too often experienced bullying RT level, but amazingly the mother continued Lolita her ears were like a stone clotted times, like a stone, he was stupid with the gossip of others, after he cried sobbing at that time, still his neighbors scorned, capitalized on the phrase istighfar, he said, this time he became even stronger withstanding the blasphemy after blasphemy that kept hitting him

back to the topic, again,

in essence Hamid asked Aaron to advise his youngest son, because the advice, both Hamid and Zubaidah are no longer in limbo by Evan, Evan is blind to the advice of parents, which is his priority is Rio, who is the first, rio's wish, which asks her to be a whole family, whatever it is, must be realized

at night, though,

Aaron sat in the living room with his wife...

after Rio fell asleep, Evan chose to join his two former in-laws

" Loh..."

" not sleeping, Van.." asked Amelia.

" not sleepy yet, mommy." said Evan did not change the greeting to his former in-laws.

"this, snack..."

" please, son." said Aaron politely.

" thank you,.."

" Dad.." said Evan to Aaron who still did not change his greeting.

" mommy makes drinks for you guys,..."

" what do you want." asked Zubaidah.

" as always, mother." said Aaron.

" same'in with Daddy, mommy.." said Evan.

Amelia immediately headed for the kitchen, to make her order

" how is your company, son." asked Aaron.

" Thank God..."

" well, it's getting better, Dad.." said Evan.

" Thank God." said Aaron.

" what about you, son." asked Aaron carefully

" how, he meant, Dad...." Evan asked back, Aaron asked

" Hm..."

" you've been thinking about building another household, son.." asked Aaron gently.

" Oh..."

" yes, Dad." said Evan briefly.

not finished Aaron singled out a smile on his old face

" married to Lolly again." said Evan steadily.

.....Glutin..... Aaron had trouble swallowing his own saliva

after taking some time, reviewing the words of his former son-in-law, Aaron tries to make peace with time

" With..."

" you're divorced, there's no way you're remarried...."

" Lolly had to marry another man first." said Aaron.

" no, Dad..."

" if Lolly forgives Evan, and Lolly ridho with what happened then we can re-reflect." said Evan.

Amelia who had returned to sitting in the chair earlier, served the drink she had just made

" please drink first, Van.." said Amelia.

" thank you..."

" mami.." said Evan casually immediately sipped a warm drink served to him

" yes, if Lolly ridho, you can refer to..."

" what if not.." asked Aaron casually, in order to establish effective communication

Evan was silent, thinking about things that only he himself knew

" another man..."

" Bobby, did Daddy mean.?.?.." asked Evan without answering Aaron's previous question.

" yes, it could be..."

" if the man has been to visit often..."

" and ask Daddy to approve their relationship...."

" anyone can be Lolly's soul mate, ..."

" the origin of faith and responsibility and love Lolly and Rio." - Harun carefully.

" if they get married, what are you going to do, son." said Aaron again who also started sipping his warm drink.

Evan was silent again, it still took time for him to think, if Evan was very easy to draw conclusions, increasing age made himself more mature to behave

" Evan would've let her know if it was Bobby.."

evan said politely

Aaron just breathed a sigh of relief, it turns out Evan is starting to act mature at this time, according to him

" and Evan will still marry Lolita.."

" after Bobby and Lolly's wedding, ..."

" Evan will seek Bobby's approval." said Evan steadily and politely.

...... uhhuk.....

Amelia chokes on the drink she had just swallowed, Aaron to the point of giving Amelia a tissue and patting Amelia on the back slowly and regularly

" kids..."

" you are aware of your words." asked Amelia who had recovered from choking.

Aaron who changed his sitting position, opposite Evan, both Amelia and Aaron looked at Evan's face seriously

" Evan has made Evan, Daddy, .."

" my mom..."

" for Rio's sake." Evan said seriously, then Evan recounted how the chronology in Lolita's in-room was more complete than when they were in Boy's in-patient room just a moment ago, when Rio asked Lolita and Evan to come back the way they were, how Rio was hit with the current condition had to be separated between himself and Lolita

Evan is still trying to find Aaron and Amelia's sympathy

Aaron and Amelia hear Evan's story intently, without a single word interrupting Evan's statement

" and for Evan himself, Dad..."

" Evan has been betrothed by Mommy and Daddy a lot..."

" but heart and Evan remain for Lolly.."

" Evan admits, Evan's fault..."

" if Evan had to be Lolita's second husband..."

" Evan accepted, Evan sincerely." said Evan steadily and mannered, even impressed relaxed, because with his leisure he again sipped a drink for him while chewing the Snack available on the table

" Astagfirullah Allazim..."

" Will...."

" it's a wedding, son...."

" no kidding." said Amelia, who immediately changed her mood, but could still control the tone of her voice gently.

" yes, mi.."

" Evan knows that..."

" and Evan wasn't messing around, mi.." said Evan staring at Amelia's bead with clinging, showing her seriousness.

" but this is polyandry, Van..."

" that polygamy is common in our country..."

" polyandry..?....."

" no, Van...."

" pity Lolly, must accept back the insults and mockery of everyone, Van...."

" considerate it, Van..."

" where else is Lolly's dignity." said Amelia, who is still trying to control her emotions so that the tone of voice remains the same as before.

even Aaron repeatedly had to stroke the wife's back, in order to be able to speak wisely

" Evan's moving out of here,..."

" follow Lolly in J***..."

" even if we're not there, and get scorn from a lot of people..."

" we will move to a country that will accept us." said Evan casually.

" Athaghfirullah Allazim" said Aaron and Amelia simultaneously

it takes time for the two of them to think, how to give understanding to Evan if it is not that easy and simple, in accordance with the will of Evan, if not that easy, the decision taken by Evan will affect many lines, families, children, and grandchildren, of course, as it has been

while Evan casually spent his drink, and ate the snacks in front of him

Evan even added his drink with mineral water without awkward at Aaron's house, Aaron never minded it, Evan was like his own son even though it had changed status between Evan and his family, But what Evan just said must be taken seriously otherwise it will make things even more complicated
