After her meeting yesterday with Romi, this morning after she bathed Ayla, Jinan was surprised by the presence of Linda and Son who were already standing in front of her house. She was shocked to see her ex-husband's parents visit her so early. He still wears a negligee and hasn't even taken a shower. But because they do not want to be disrespectful to a guest, which is where the guest himself is the in-law of her ex-husband, so Jinan let Linda and Putra into his house.
Before sitting her body in a chair, Jinan went to the kitchen first to make soft drinks for both guests. Just reaching the kitchen doorstep, Jinan turned around, she went inside her room and came out with a set of men's clothes.
She wanted to give the clothes to her husband who was bathing, so that when he came out later her husband did not pass through his guests just by using a towel wrapped around the waist only. Understandably, Jinan's room was next to the living room, and in his room there was also no bathroom inside.
After the two glasses of warm sweet tea were completed, Jinan sighed first before heading to the living room to meet his two guests.
"Please drink, Om, Auntie. Sorry there is only tea, Jinan has not cooked the matter," Jinan said. Although it has often been disappointed, but Jinan still be friendly and welcome the arrival of her in-laws. For her, forgiveness is one of the keys to happiness. Begitula that he always remembered from the words of his late parents first.
"It's okay, son. You do not bother" said the Son.
Jinan just smiled as she nodded her head slowly. The first five minutes of Linda and Putra seem to just mince words with her, trying to ask for news and so on so that the atmosphere does not look awkward. But still, even so Jinan still felt awkward when interacting with the two of them.
Until when Linda entered into serious talks, then Jinan understood the purpose of their arrival to her home.
"Son, sorry Mama. Sorry for the error of Mama, son. Mama ... Mama didn't mean to accuse you of anything. Mama's just been hooked by the rumors out there, son," Linda said with her sad face. It was obvious that the woman felt guilty about him.
"Yes, Jinan. Forgive us, Son. Papa had no intention of accusing you either. Actually Papa believes in you, but ... but ...."
The son did not continue his words, it seemed like the man was confused as to what to say.
"It's okay, Om, Auntie. Jinan ... Jinan had forgotten about it," exclaimed Jinan.
Actually Jinan wanted to say that he had forgiven them, but the word forgiveness at this time impressed as if he considered that the two people were entirely guilty of him. He was also guilty of lying about his reasons for cheating. Yes, although Linda's accusations about her extramarital pregnancy made the scratches in her heart deep, Jinan also did not have the heart to say that she forgave them.
"Jinan, can Mama meet with Mama's granddaughter" Linda asked hesitantly.
He was very afraid that Jinan would not allow him to meet Ayla. But lucky for them, it turns out that Jinan happily invited Linda and Putra to meet with her son.
Because after all, Jinan still had the heart to keep a grandmother away from her granddaughter.
As Jinan walked out of her room carrying baby Ayla, Linda immediately stood up from her seat with sparkling eyes. Seeing his grandson in Jinan's arms, he couldn't wait to hold his grandson. His grandson.
"Yes, son," Linda said as Jinan was about to hand Ayla over to her.
Fortunately, Ayla did not cry like a child in the hands of a new person. Either because the baby still does not understand who is carrying it, or because the baby is easy to come with anyone.
When Linda and Putra were playing with Ayla, Ardo was seen coming out of the bathroom with his full body. Ardo approached Jinan and sat his body right beside Jinan. He smiled briefly as a form of greeting to the two guests when their views met.
"It's so pretty Mama's Grandson, Pa. Her nose is pointed" Linda exclaimed to her husband.
"Yes, Ma. Our granddaughter is beautiful. Papa is sure, when he grows up Ayla will become a beautiful woman" said the Son.
The two men looked happy while playing with Ayla. Even so happy, they ignored Jinan and Ardo who were staring at them.
"Son," exclaimed Linda staring at Jinan after ten minutes had passed.
Jinan, who was leaning her body on the back of the sofa in Ardo's arms, straightened her body.
"What's up, Tan?"
"Romi says .. You and Ayla will come with your husband to his home country. Is that true?" ask Linda.
Yes, after meeting Ayla yesterday, Romi did tell her everything - except her debate with Ardo - to her mother. Including plans for the departure of Jinan and his son to Ardo's home country.
When she learned that Jinan was going abroad, the middle-aged woman planned to visit Jinan's residence with her husband to meet her granddaughter. He fears Jinan will be abroad for a long time and he has no chance to meet his granddaughter. Because to forbid even he knew enough of all the mistakes he had done to Jinan.
Back to Jinan.
"Tomorrow? Why so sudden?" ask Linda in shock.
"Nr ...."
"No impromptu. Everything was arranged before we got married" Sambar Ardo looked at Jinan who seemed hard to explain.
Linda looked at her husband. She looked as if she was saying to her husband. 'Pa, we won't see Ayla again,'
"Son, can we bring Ayla to our house."
Linda looked expectantly at Jinan at her husband's request. He really needs more time with his grandson. He misses his grandson very much. His grandson whom he had accused and he deeply regretted it.
While Jinan was then, when he heard the Son saying he wanted to bring Ayla to their home, Jinan widened his eyes. Likewise with Ardo he was no less surprised by Jinan when he heard the words of the Son. How dare the man ask for more for their good, Ardo thought.
"Your meeting with Ayla here is more than enough. There is no need to take him anywhere" said Ardo who clearly disagreed with the request of the Son.
"Son Ardo, we just want to spend some time with our grandchildren before you go. We know you'll be a long time to be back here. So we beg you, let us take Ayla to our house so that we can spend time with her before you leave" said the little boy pleading.
"Yes, Son. Jinan, Mama please be with you. Let Ayal come with his Oma today huh, honey. Mama promised, I'll give Ayla back before you go" Linda told Jinan.
Jinan looked at her husband for a moment, then she slightly lowered her head, staring at the table in front of her.
"Mom can bring Ayla–"
"Are you serious, Jinan?" sambar Linda with enthusiasm.
Jinan looked up at Linda, but her gaze immediately turned to Ardo as Ardo clasped his hand.
"Why did you let them take Ayla?" ask Ardo slowly.
"Fel." Jinan shook her head, as if saying; 'its okay. Just for a second.'
"I don't know what's in my wife's head. Why is he so nice? Even this kindness often looks like a fool," Ardo's inner annoyance.
Ardo let out a short breath. "Give Ayla back before five o'clock."
"Fifth hour? Just a moment," Linda protested.
Ardo stared intensely at Linda. "We have to go to the airport tomorrow morning. There is no time to wait for you to bring Ayla here because we have to rest. After all Ayla is still in the breastfeeding stage, and ASI is available only two bottles. I hope Madam and Mrs understand what I mean. If you don't want to, you can just play with Ayla here."
Ardo's utterances made the two couples speechless. As if it had been surrounded by thousands of arrows and could not run anywhere, Linda and Putra finally agreed with Ardo's words. Nothing until 5pm, the important thing is that they have the opportunity to bring their grandchildren home. Introducing Ayla to Aurel and Andre.
