"Don't think because Aunt is older than me, it scares me. I'll fight Auntie if Auntie can't appreciate Mamah. Mama sacrificed a lot for the family, as well as for the grandmother who even so far was not much different from Auntie," said Riki, she was angry even her chest up and down.
Arman was shocked when his mother's name was brought up. He also stood up. There was a feeling of not accepting in her heart, but was mother really still acting that way when it hurt? Inner Arman.
"Look at Arman, your son is really insolent, teach them the truth! It's free that his mother is a teacher but his son is like this" said Dela.
"Already Riki, you and Nabila should go to school. Let me talk to you about this..!" Arman.
Riki also left, not forgetting before leaving he looked at the tantenya with a sharp gaze full of vengeance. Since long ago Nabila's happiness was taken by the children om and tantenya, always compared. Now when they are difficult, even hitchhiking at his family home. For Riki this is very annoying.
After their departure, Arman gave some advice. Especially when he went to work, so that Miss Maryati was treated well. Dela just nodded slowly, indifferently listening to his sister's words.
"Yes. Don't you teach me anymore!" Answer Dela.
"Know but not implemented. I want you to be in charge of your mother as long as I'm not home!" Arman.
"Yes, noise!" Answer Dela.
Shortly the sound of Dela's phone rang, when it was lifted she immediately shouted and cried hysterically.
"What's? Don't joke!" Dela.
"Fadli.., hiks..," cried Dela then wept. He was sitting on the floor so limp.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Ask the worried Arman. Although he was upset, still the affection of his brother will not disappear.
"Fadli. He was detained Man, Mbak could not if both husband and child Mbak imprisoned, hiks.", Dela replied.
"Patiently, this is a test. You have to be strong!" Arman.
Riki who came back because there was something left behind, he also accidentally knew the thing that his aunt experienced. After the book he needed was taken, he passed by his father and aunt without sympathy.
"Then he taught his real son! You are the same child," said Riki then walked quickly.
Arman who was shocked by his son's words just shook his head, but behind the words. It was as if it was a humiliation that turned towards Dela. Is this as fast as karma? Inner Arman.
Dela even more crying becomes so. Because Arman did not have the heart, he intended to drive his brother to meet Fadli. But after remembering his mother there was no one to look after. Finally Arman intends to give money round trip for Dela following Fadli outside the city.
"I want to see Fadli now Man.. hiks..," said Dela.
"Mbak go if it's your will, but better leave tomorrow morning. I also apologize for not being able to. There's a mother here, no one to look after" replied Arman.
Dila also chose to leave tomorrow morning. If forced today, then fear of something happening to Dela. Going in a shaken state without anyone accompanying it was extremely dangerous.
Dela shut herself up all day in the room, Arman was forced not to go to work anymore. She chose to cook and take care of her mother, also giving support to Dela at times like this. Arman felt troubled, his body and mind were both tired.
"If Nita were here, I wouldn't have this kind of trouble" Arman said.
Arman called his wife, he wanted to apologize and send her home. But Nita's phone number turns out not to be active, making Arman even more chaotic.
Was my mistake unforgivable? Then what should I do? Inner Arman.

"Don't be like him, he doesn't really work. Besides, he definitely wouldn't take a job from me" Arman murmured.
The man was looking for someone who could take care of his mother, he headed for Bu Nuni's house. Arman's neighbors who daily become washing workers or open ironing services.
"Bu Nuni would, take care of mom for only a day but I give you a big wage" Arman murmured.
After arriving, Arman talked for a while. Expressing what you want to convey.
"Why not Rini Man?" Ask Bu Nuni.
"I want to be the same mother, more experienced," replied Arman.
"I have a lot of clothes that need to be ironed Man, Rini is more agile," said Bu Nuni.
"Please ma'am, the work is also only cooking, nemenin mother. And bathe her in the morning and evening. If there are two children in the house. I give you some good money, ma'am, how?" Arman asked while handing over hundreds of thousands of dollars a few pieces.
"Okay Man, I accept yes. Incidentally I also need to buy my child's school bag, so from when do I take care of your mother?" Bu Nuni's Land.
"This one is Mom. I'm going to go home first to get clothes ready and talk to the kids" Arman replied.
"Alright, after the Dzuhur prayer your mother went to your house," replied Bu Nuni agreeing to the work.
Arman was relieved, he would try to make Nita return to their home. Arman wouldn't let his wife go too long. Two days without Nita alone has made him dizzy seven circumference.
Miss Maryati turned out to make Arman's sleep time disturbed. Sometimes at night screaming and asking for things, Arman only sleeps two hours a day. His body felt weak and powerless, his eye bags were clearly blackened.
Since then, he has so understood the meaning of his wife's tired version. Arman used to underestimate his mother's work and affairs. It turned out that everything was not as simple as his mind, but when his mother wanted something but it was difficult to express it, making Arman confused and upset. He has to be extra patient.
***
When it gets dark, Arman finally arrives at Ani's mother's house. From the eyes of Arman, he saw the same house shape, even more looks old inedible age. So sad, Arman sure if the house must have experienced some leakage.

A few beats and many times calling people inside but no one came out. "Sleeping?" Arman. The man realized that the house was locked.
Where the hell did they go? Or do they not actually live here? Inner Arman is confused. He was now sitting limp on the floor, leaning against the door that bore silent witness to his regret.
"Nita..., where are you?" Arman Mumbled.
Seriateā¦.
