"Ma, Pa, Nathan is home" the handsome young man said to the parents who had been waiting for his arrival.
Not yet moved from a sitting position on the living room sofa, Rosa and Thomi look dizzy as if looking for something. More precisely waiting for the presence of someone who was rumored to be coming with their son.
"You came by yourself? Where's the lioness?" ask Rosa who looks hopefully anxious. Afraid that his son would act out of reason.
"Darling, how could our son actually carry a lion? You don't seem to have memorized it with your rancid attitude." Thomi tries to straighten out the mind of his wife who is sometimes too innocent.
Instead of immediately explaining, Nathan instead chuckled. It's funny to see the reaction of the mother who is always easy to be a victim of her innocence.
"Nathan, how long are you gonna keep us both waiting?" Thomi protested.
"Ah, yes. Sorry Pa. Just a minute." Nathan turned his heels and walked towards the entrance. Not long after, the figure of Jovana appeared from behind there.
The man led the woman closer to her parents. "Ma, Bc ... Nathan came with my future wife." It signals Jovana to introduce herself.
"Good night Om ... Aunt. Introduce my name Jovana," greeting the woman kindly.
Stretched out one side of his right hand and immediately greeted Thomi with a happy smile. Then he led his hand towards Rosa. However, he had to swallow disappointed.
Instead of her hand-job being greeted with hospitality, Jovana instead had to accept a condescending look. An awkward atmosphere immediately enveloped the room.
Jovana's appearance that seemed too much as it was turned out to attract the attention of Rosa. The cover of a denim-based trouser suit and over-size shirt seems to be of less value in the eyes of his parents.
Actually, Nathan's already bought some dress suits for Jovana. However, the woman simply refused the gift. In fact, no reason is accepted.
Somehow the thought of his lover, who he knew Jovana was a little different. And he didn't want to force let alone trouble her.
"Jovana, come sit down first. Don't stand up too long, you'll be tired." Nathan realizes that the initial interaction between Jovana and her mother does not look well-established. He also tried to melt the atmosphere.
Drawing a serious veil in the face, Nathan looked at his parents in turn. " Ma, Dad. Nathan intends to marry Jovana. I ask for your blessing as the beginning of good in building our household relationship."
"Whatever your choice is, Papa will still give you your blessing, my Son."
As at the beginning, a good response is more visible in Thomi. But not with Rosa who is now busy judging Jovana in the heart.
From the appearance of this woman is seen from among ordinary people. He must be very rude and naughty. Can she be a good wife to Nathan? If he married my son, did not rule out the possibility that my grandson would decline the bad nature of his mother.
"Mama, how are you gonna shut up?" nathan asked the mother who had drifted into his own mind.
Rosa sneered before making a sound. "What do your parents do?"
Rosa's no-nonsense questions created an uncomfortable atmosphere between them. From there, it can be judged that the level of drajat becomes an important point if Jovana wants to be part of the Alexanders family.
Nathan couldn't believe that his mother could behave like that. Even Thomi was also reluctant to deny that his wife's actions this time were not enviable.
"I'm an orphan, Auntie. All this time I lived with a stepfamily" replied Jovana trying hard.
Who would have thought, if he was fighting tightness in the chest. Given the journey of his life so far is not as beautiful as the fate of the women out there.
"Ow .. orphaned," the old woman's response seemed to be nothing to withdraw from Jovana.
A few moments of silence. Until a maid came with a tray containing warm drinks back to melt the atmosphere.
"The Cuckoo's? Auntie read the novel too?" Jovana looks enthusiastic.
A thick book by author J.K. Rowling who was lying on the sofa next to Rosa immediately seized the attention of Jovana. His love of novels seemed to divert his sense of disappointment.
"Do you like to read novels?" Rosa asked while throwing a peeking gaze.
Totally forgot by the unpleasant atmosphere that had cornered him, Jovana's lips curved into a fluffy smile. "I'm a novelist, Auntie. I also have 5 series of Criminal Cormoran Strike novels. And here I'm hunting for his latest novel."
"really? Oh my God .. I finally met a person who has the same reading taste."
Pleased? It's for sure!
"Yes, Aunt. I really like the way detective Strike solves crime cases that come with the twists and turns of his second life. The storyline is very cool and also thrilling."
"And also contain a lot of plot twist that is difficult to guess," added Rosa who is also enthusiastic.
"That's right, Auntie."
Rosa got off the couch and pulled Jovana by the hand. "Come along, Auntie wants to show you the novels of the collection of Auntie."
"Well .. would be great fun." Jovana stood up from her seat and Rosa immediately grabbed her arm.
"Yes my husband, quickly take care of their wedding. If you can this week even better," said Nathan's mother before breezing away, bringing Jovana to the reading room.
"Darling, tonight you stay here. 'You will soon be a part of our family."
From a distance, Rosa continued to talk to Jovana. The two women even ignored the men who were dumbfounded with gaping mouths.
"My son, be prepared that your future wife will spend more time with her mother-in-law than with her husband" said Thomi who still did not look from Rosa's back.
"That's not gonna happen, Pa."
…
The unrequited foot stepped in a hurry as if it was being chased by time. In between the action blur, Lana continues to invite the eye to scan the environment around, hoping his whereabouts are unknown to the officers. He did not even care about the gazes of the people who were looking at him in astonishment.
How not to be astonished? The patient's shirt is still on.
From a distance, Lana sees a taxi driving in the opposite direction. He waved his hand until the car stopped.
"Get me to the beautiful cottage housing."
"Okay, Madam."
Unsuspecting, the driver reapplied his car, driving Lana to the address. As the vehicle passed through a deserted area of road users, the woman asked for the car to be stopped.
"What are you doing?! Eghhh! Eghhh!" The driver looked screeching while enduring the pain in his neck. "Let go! Eghhh!" He tried to rebel in between the rest of his breathing that began to be critical.
"Just kill you!" Lana pulls the rope that was made to strangle the driver from behind.
For a while, fierce resistance in the car took place. Until finally the man drowned lifeless due to lack of oxygen supply in his lungs.
As if not afraid or feeling guilty, Lana threw the body to the side of the road and took a taxi away.
"I don't want to suffer alone. If I'm not happy, why are they happy? If I can't have her, don't expect another woman to live happily with her."
"just shut! Die up! Die up! Die!" The woman smirked evilly. His soul was already trapped into the black wave vortex. He had completely lost all sides of his sanity.
