Marisa was determined to meet her son today. She was preparing to go to her in-laws' house she knew on the edge of town, because she had been to her in-laws' house when she was her ex-husband's wife.
Marisa rides the ojek she sets up at the market.
"To this address yes" Marisa told the taxi driver.
"Yes mom, ready."
Then the motorcycle taxi driver ran his motorbike to the address given by Marisa. Marisa's heart felt stubborn, she was a little afraid that her former in-laws would reject her.
Half an hour drive, motorbike motorcycle ojek has arrived in front of the house painted in blue sky with a spacious garden. Marisa notices the house she once visited with her ex.
"It's bang the fare" said Marisa giving the money sheet.
"Thank you ma'am." the motorcycle taxi driver went straight to the motor quickly to find another customer.
Marisa was silent for a moment, still memoerihatkan quiet memorable house looks from the outside. He dared to go inside the iron fence. He pushed slowly over the fence and entered slowly towards the terrace of the house.
A sense of stubbornness and fear grew in his heart. Trying to calm his heart by taking a deep breath and throwing it away slowly.
He stood right in front of the door, trying his hand to knock on that door.
Tok tok tok tok
Slowly Marisa knocked on the door, holding her breath. There was no answer yet, Marisa tried to knock him again the door was louder.
Tok tok tok tok
It's the same, it hasn't opened the door yet. Marisa let out a long sigh, she was desperate. Are they not in this house? Think Marisa.
Then he turned around to leave, but the door opened from the inside. The door widened open, a small child stood looking at Marisa's back in wonder.
"Auntie's looking for who?" ask the little boy.
Marisa stopped, she thought there was someone inside. Then he turned around, staring stiffly at the little girl looking at him in wonder.
Marisa was stunned, her hands were shaking as well as her lips. He wanted to say one word, but his tongue was a bit off. He just kept quiet while smiling.
" Who's aunt looking for?" asked the little boy still confused with Marisa who was silent rigidly staring at him.
"If you find papa, papa is not at work" said the little boy again.
"Emm, auntie is looking." Marisa's sentence stopped after hearing the voice of the old woman calling the name of the little boy.
"Celine, who's out there?" she asked the girl to a boy named Celine.
"That's oma, someone's looking for papa" said Celine.
The woman looked at Marisa, yes she was Ema's mother. Arga's Mama. Mother Ema was stunned, looking at Marisa. His face turned irritated and cynical.
"Celine, get inside the house" Ema's mother told Celine.
"Yes" replied Celine.
Celine walks into the house, while Ema's mother still looks at Marisa with dislike and disappointment.
"Do you want to come to this house?" ask Ema's mother.
"Ma, is that Celine my son?" marisa asked feeling overwhelmed by the sight of her son earlier.
"What are you here for?" ask Ema's mother again.
"I, want to see my son ma." replied Marisa as she sobbed.
"Heh, after all these years looking for your son. Where have you been all this time? Is it because your affair dumped you, and you keep coming looking for your son?" ask Ema's mother to get angry at Marisa.
"I just want to see my son ma, that's all" said Marisa still with her tears.
"After you meet your son, what else do you want?"
Marisa was silent, she didn't know what else to say. But she also aims to apologize to her ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law.
"What else do you want, Marisa?" mother of Ema's.
"Me, I want to apologize to Arga and Mama as well." replied Marisa while looking down.
"That's how you apologize, but you forget what you did. Begging my son to be divorced while still breastfeeding Celine. What was Arga lacking to you back then? He's so nice, he even knows you cheated still forgives you. But you asked for a divorce from him. Women don't know themselves." said Ema's mother again.
Marisa looked down even more, she sobbed regretting what she had done. It's not worth pardoning, but he's sure Arga forgives him later.
"Better you go, my grandson is already happy with his father."
After saying that, Ema's mother went inside and closed the door loudly. It made Marisa surprised and shocked. He turned around, it was not easy to get sorry and meet his son.
But she won't give up on meeting her son and ex-husband later. Today is enough to get here, tomorrow he will come back again. He considered this a reward once had made Arga and Ema's mother bother taking care of her child.

The next day, Marisa returns to Ema's mother's house. But previously bought a large teddy bear, as big as his son Celine. She must have loved the gift she brought for her son.
Tok tok tok tok
Marisa knocked on the door, she knocked again because it was not open.
And as usual, Celine opened her door Staring at Marisa in surprise. He's interested in the doll that Marisa brought.
"Aunty brought what?" ask Celine.
"Don't the bear baby. Celine want this teddy bear?" ask Marisa with a sparkle.
"Can auntie?" ask Celine to make sure.
"Yes, if Celine wants this doll for Celine" said Marisa again.
Marisa hands the teddy bear to her child, she is happy that Celine will accept the gift from her.
"Celine, where are you?" ask Ema's mother from inside the house.
"Outside the oma." replied Celine.
Ema's mother came out, and she saw Marisa giving Celine the big teddy bear.
"What did you give the doll to?" ask Ema's mother ketus.
"For my son ma, I want to give something to my son ma." replied Marisa.
"Arga was also able to buy the doll for Celine. So don't waste your time and money on something that doesn't matter."
Marisa was silent, she pulled the doll back. But Celine took it.
"She said the teddy bear made Celine aunty?" ask Celine.
Marisa smiled, she thrust the teddy bear back at her son.
"Thank you aunt." said Celine.
"Beloved one another." Marisa's reply.
Ema's mother grunted in annoyance, and she took Celine inside her house.
"Just give that to Celine, don't come again."
After saying that, Ema's mother closed the door again.
"Tomorrow I will come again ma." cried Marisa behind the door.
At least he was received slowly by his son and his former in-laws.
Marisa turned around and her smile expanded. A hard effort will not disappoint the result. Gradually Celine will be close to him and Ema's mother will also forgive her, and Arga. Surely he also forgave her, far from his deepest desire he returned to his former lukewarmness even though it was impossible.
Wouldn't the hard rock in the water every day be hollow in the end? That saying is what Marisa professed at the moment, but it seems faster than she expected.
Marisa now rides the ojek, but does not return to her contract but to Anita's house to tell her that she has met her son. I will meet her ex-husband.
Arriving in front of Anita's house, Marisa got off the motorbike and paid the motorcycle according to the tariff of her motorcycle taxi driver.
She goes into Anita's yard and heads to Anita's shop. He saw Anita was serving the buyers deftly.
Anita looks at Marisa and smiles at her, gesturing to wait for the service to finish. Marisa nodded and gave her thumb. Then he sat on the porch of Anita's house.
Before long, Anita finished and sat down in the chair next to her that Arga used to sit there if she visited Anita's house.
"How is Marisa, is the result good?" anita asks Marisa about her efforts to approach her son and former in-laws.
"Today it's better, mbak, I brought a doll for my son. And she accepted it, but she didn't like it." replied Marisa.
"Prophe mbak, later also linger too long" said Anita.
"Yes, I'm even more excited to see my son tomorrow" said Marisa.
"What about your ex-husband, did he reject you too?" ask Anita.
"I haven't met him yet, maybe he's busy working. Later Sunday I will be there again, hoping to meet him." java Marisa.
"May ya mbak" said Anita chimed.
Then chatter after chatter flowed unfeelably. As usual, they talked until the afternoon. After the afternoon Marisa said she'd go back to her contract tomorrow she'd go back to see her son Celine.
