Flashbacks

"Mi, Mr Rama's in jail?" Ask Karin 

"At the police station, fill in the call of Jihan's parents who reported you because of Jihan's non-jok yesterday" she replied

"What?" Karin asked in surprise. 

Miss Maryam finally told me what she heard from Arkan and Rama at breakfast. 

Since the beginning, Miss Maryam had suspected that something was deliberately hidden by her son and daughter-in-law about their marriage.

Karin could not help but cry to hear her mother's story. But still in the corner of his heart still could not accept Rama as husband. 

Karin invites mommy to go to the police station, mom agrees and they agree to go together.

"Mi, there's a guest, besan mami downstairs" whispered Aisyah as Ms. Maryam walked out of her daughter's room.

"Message who's Ai?" Ask Maryam to whisper

"That's Rama's aunt, waiting under his sister's late daughter-in-law" replied Aisyah

"Oh, did you make a drink, right?" Ask mama

"Udah mi"

"Yes there accompany your sister to get ready, we're going to the police station"

"Now?" Ask Aisyah

"Yes, when is Ai again" said Miss Maryam passed.

Up under Miss Maryam greeted Miss Rosa who came with Aziz. Ms. Maryam had a light conversation with Ms. Rosa while getting to know each other. 

Because when she died, Ms. Rosa was being treated in the hospital.

"So Rama told me about being married?" Ask Miss Maryam

"Yes Ma'am, Rama did not want to burden me he said, even he had told everything how he could get married suddenly" replied Ms. Rosa.

"My first child has long known Rama and the late Ramon Bu even the late wife Ramon is also his first class friend when High School is only different class" said Ms. Maryam.

"Oh yeah? Which mother's son? You see my son Ramon many friends and usually also brought to the house" exclaimed Miss Rosa.

"That's my first veiled daughter standing in the middle next to her that's his wife Rama, that's an old photo of my late husband still alive" said Ms. Maryam while pointing to the family photo displayed on the wall of the room.

Ms. Rosa looked fixed or at one face in the photo, her eyes squinted when she saw the photo of the late husband of Ms. Maryam.

"I..that's mom's husband?" Ask Miss Rosa with a trembling feeling.

"Yes, that's my husband ma'am, why? How come I'm surprised so" asked Miss Maryam was surprised.

"What's her name Ma'am?" Ask Miss Rosa

"Obviously called Mr. Halim here, what's up?" Ask Miss Maryam again curious

"Ha...Halim Abdullah ibn Umar?" Ask Bu Rosa again forward the long name and bin belongs to the late husband Bu Maryam

"Do you know my husband?" Ask Miss Maryam surprised 

"his name resembles my missing half-sister since childhood Mom, my three brothers, me and his mother Rama's siblings, Halim is the child of my stepfather because my mother remarried after the father died with a widower of one child" said Bu Rosa while looking closely at the picture frame displayed neatly on the wall of the room.

"Nothing is impossible, have you ever seen a silver pendant necklace from Halim's neck?" Ask Bu Rosa to remember the necklace given by her late parents first to look for other brothers who were missing.

"A round silver pendant?" Ask Miss Maryam reassuringly

"Yes, the shape is round, unfortunately I do not carry it, left at home" said Ms Rosa

"Before I take it first Ma'am, who knows there is still stored" said Miss Maryam hurriedly entered the room.

While waiting for Miss Maryam, Aziz said to come out for a while there are needs that he wants to buy at the store they passed earlier. 

Miss Rosa looked at all the photos on the wall. It is not wrong to recognize the photo of his missing half-brother since childhood, the mole and dimple on the right are the characteristics of his missing half-brother. Luckily his late stepfather once gave a sign of an old photograph and a silver pendant before dying.

"Please enjoy Ma'am, sorry to wait a moment, my mother is still looking for her belongings" said Aisyah approached Ms. Rosa with a cradle of Naira who was asleep.

"Naira slept that?" Bu Rosa asked excitedly to see her grandson in good hands.

"Yes Ma'am, since we brought her home here, Naira's fussy continues to probably remember her mother, but she's instantly quiet if the one who holds my sister-in-law, Arkan."Answer Aisha 

"Oh yeah? Maryam's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother?" 

"No, I'm his son-in-law, wife of Ardi's older brother Arkan" Aisyah said

"Oh .. where is Rama's wife?" 

"Today again above Bu while getting ready to go to campus" said Aisyah trying to cover the problems they were facing.

"Oh, college student at Rama's college?" 

"Hehe yes Ma'am, it's only semester one"

"Oh yes .. Rama also did not tell me that he was married, as far as we know he did not come home often because he had to overtime, that's the reason Rama every time we contacted him, we think his work is solid, apparently he is married" Ms Rosa said, wiping the water in the corner of her eye.

"Didn't Rama tell her or ask her permission?" Ask Aisyah. Miss Rosa shook her head. 

"As far as we know, Rama feels guilty for touching my sister-in-law Karin, and one more thing if she knows the old thug, he said, we thought he had been involved or had a dark past and wanted to avoid it, so we immediately received his proposal that night" Aisyah said

"Rama did recognize the old thug mbak, Rama and his sister's late house was once crowded by the old thug and his men in an empty house and not given food, he said, because he was made a prisoner as a redemption for his parents' debt to loan sharks where we came from" continued Ms. Rosa.

"Beb..really? So is Rama's story true?" Aisyah asked surprised to hear Bu Rosa's words

"Yes mbak, even Rama until now still traumatized by the tragedy of the kidnapping, Rama's parents have all died, all of them, and his sister also followed two years ago because of an accident in front of a cake shop Pendopo cake and bakery." Bu Rosa's words made Aisyah even more surprised.

"Pendopo cakes? The place of Karin's accident is also Bu, is it possible that Rama's brother knows Karin?" Aisyah asked trying to find out more 

"I don't know if it was mbak, I just this year live hitchhiking with Rama after my son Ramon died in an accident" said Ms Rosa.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes mbak, Rama's brother had an accident when he was about to cross the road. That's all I know, Rama has been traumatized since the kidnapping tragedy, the old thug has been in and out of jail many times, and the last news I heard was that he was already in prison because of reports of citizens who were uncomfortable with his behavior all along" explained Ms Rosa 

"thankfully, did Rama tell her about her marriage? Then how do you know our house?"

"Aziz, who knows Mbak, said he had asked Rama for permission last night"

"Oh so it is" said Aisyah

without them knowing it seems that since then Karin heard all their conversations from the stairs.
