Hearing Ailee's question, the thin woman then looked at the son. Gilang hurriedly threw his face away, staring in the other direction, making Mama Irna shake her head slowly. "Mama has to go, son. Your husband did not expect the presence of mama here," he said, very soft and looks so sad.
Ailee clasped the frail woman's hand and looked at her warmly. "Mas Ge needs time, Ma. As a mother who has conceived and given birth to her, you certainly understand how your son feels, right?"
Mama Irna let out a long sigh and then nodded. "Yes, Son. Mama knows, it's all mama's fault" she replied, sounding remorseful.
Ailee then gazed at the oma, hinting that she asked permission to persuade her mother Gilang to stay. The oma who understood the request of her granddaughter-in-law nodded her head, approving of Ailee's good intentions. The old lady even smiled proudly, seeing the sincerity of the young lady he had chosen for the granddaughter.
At Ailee's persuasion, Mama Irna then wants to stay back at her family home. Home, where the middle-aged woman once carved beautiful memories with her husband and three children. A house that used to be built with love, but then he left for his ego.
"Thank you very much, son," he said, hugging Ailee. A young woman with a noble heart, the wife of her youngest son.
"Ge is very lucky to have you, son," she continued, stroking Ailee's smooth cheeks.
Refuse to throw face. Not wanting to see the real scene made his heart tremble. Only, the ego of the handsome young man was still too high to be able to accept the mother back.
"The lucky one, Ma, being married to a very kind and affectionate man like my mother's son," Ailee replied deliberately to harden her voice for the husband to hear.
Sure enough, Gilang then turned his head towards his wife and mother. The handsome young man then smiled, a smile that added to his charm. Mama Irna who saw the smile of the son even though the smile was not addressed to him, smiled.
'Mama's happy to see your smile again, Ge, ' her mind, full of haru.
"Yuk, Mom. We go in," invited Ailee who then took Mama Irna's hand to be invited inside. Other families also moved.
"The same mom as Budhe, yes," continued Ailee, after looking back and her husband was still in his place.
Budhe Ris, who was looking at Ailee, looked up, smiling. "Yes, Son. Let Mama Irna be the same budhe. There, you persuade your husband!" tell Budhe Ris to be understanding.
Mama Irna smiled and nodded her head at Ailee. Gilang's young wife then approached her husband. Grandma Amira also approached.
"Learn to accept everything, Ge," said the oma, advising her granddaughter.
Gilang took a long breath. "Come, Oma. It's not easy for Ge."
Ailee then wrestled spoiled in the arms of her husband. "I have no problem, really, sharing the love and affection of Mas Ge with two women," he said suddenly that made Gilang frown. Same with the oma.
"What do you mean, honey?" ask Gilang, don't understand. "I've never, yes, had the thought of beating you up. Especially to have a wife of three," he continued.
"Ai know, really, Mas Ge is very fond of Oma. Ai was actually jealous, you know, Mas. But because Ai also loved Oma, so Ai willingly shared with Oma. Yeah, right, Oma?" Ailee looked at the oma and the old woman grew a big smile.
"If Oma, yes, I really love Oma, Ai. But if what you mentioned last, I'm sorry, honey, I don't want to talk about it" Gilang said.
Ailee nodded, understood. Same with the oma. The old woman then hinted at Ailee to invite her husband in.
"We go in, yuk, Mas," Ailee asked.
Glad nodded his head. "But I have a job to do" said he. The one who seemed to intentionally want to dodge.
"No problem, Ai will accompany Mas," replied Ailee who then turned towards the oma and the old woman nodded her head.
The three of them immediately went inside. Ailee followed the step of the husband who went straight to the workspace. While the oma headed to the family room where her family was gathered there.
"Ge and Ai where, Oma?" asked Erlan pretended not to know, even though he had seen a shadow Gilang and Ailee who entered the work room of his cousin's sister just now.
"Ge there is work to be done" replied the oma as she had heard from the grandson.
"You guys please continue talking. Oma will tell aunt to prepare a room for Irna," said Grandma Amira, then.
"Ma. Thank you very much, Ma," said Mama Irna with a glassy netra, which Mama-in-law replied with a nod of her head and then immediately passed to go to the back room.
The frail woman felt moved because the mother-in-law, willing to accept her presence back after what she did to Grandma Amira's eldest son. Although his own biological son still could not accept his presence, even Gilang even seemed to dodge. Mama Irna wiped her tears that were about to fall.
Budhe Ris appears to rub the back of the younger brother, to strengthen his only sister. "Don't think shit. It's only natural that Ge still can't accept you. But sooner or later, he will surely be able to take you back, Dik," comforted Budhe Ris who knew the brother's sadness because Gilang seemed to avoid his mother.
Not calm, Mama Irna even back down. He then cried on the shoulder of the brother. Budhe Ris also let his sister express her sadness. So did the other family, who could only stare at the frail woman with a puzzled look.
After being calm enough. Mama Irna then wiped her tears. "I can't force Ge to forgive me. But the problem is I don't have much time, ma'am. I'm ...." Mama Irna was sobbing again, making everyone even more confused.
"Why, Sister?" the Budhe Ris.
