The Love Story of CEO & Cafe Maid
Dinner
Tonight, the Razka family and the Hani family will meet for dinner together, as invited by Gutama, Razka's father.
Hani, who was waiting for Rudi and Clara to pick them up, had to argue a little with the mother who was still reluctant to meet her second child.
“We just take a taxi Han, no need to wait for them,” pinta his mother is impatient.
“Bu, we ‘kan family, must come together. After all, we should be grateful, Rudi still has a car and wants to help us. Rudi's in charge, ma'am. So I don't talk about money anymore yes with them, Hani please,” said Hani full of tenderness.
Hani also reminded the mother to keep the attitude later when meeting with Razka's parents.
Before long, Rudi's car came, they rushed into the car because at 7 they had to arrive at Razka's house.
Clara, who was sitting next to Rudi, turned her back to look at her mother. “Mother, Clara apologize yes.”
Bu Sukma was silent.
25 Minutes into the capital's traffic jam, they reach Razka's sizable home. As Hani and Clara had guessed, that her mother would be excited to see her. Hani relentlessly reminded her mother to keep her attitude, if she did not want Hani and Razka's marriage to be canceled.
An ART invited them into the living room. Razka who just came out of his room, also welcomed the family of his future wife, followed by Gutama who held the shoulders of his wife who was still staggering. They also shake each other.
“The mother Razka just returned from the hospital, so it is still not strong,” said Gutama asked to be understood by his guests.
Razka then introduces Hani's family members to her mother's father, and vice versa. Lita looked at them one by one with a look of dislike. However, it was as if Gutama could control his wife's attitude with just a glance. Lita smiled back.
After having a conversation–basi, Gutama invites them to enjoy a dinner that has been prepared, as well as to be able to chat casually, also discuss the wedding plans of Hani and Razka.
Lita again put up a face mimic unhappy with this meeting, but as if she could not open her mouth because her husband continued to control his attitude with just a look in the eye.
When everyone was at the dinner table, Clara ventured to speak.
“Goodnight everyone, before, there is something I want to convey here,” he said opening a conversation that made all pairs of eyes on him.
He took a deep breath to continue his words.
“First, I am sure, Kak Razka's parents already know about me, even Ibu Lita herself also said that she does not like Kak Hani because of me and my mother. Regardless of my pregnancy, we've been responsible for it. Mas Rudi was also divorced at the request of his first wife, but he was still responsible for supporting his children. I have also met and apologized kindly to Ms Sonya for our wrong actions. We are also receiving karma from our actions, so I consider this mistake should not be discussed anymore. Will not all humans do anything wrong? What distinguishes them is their attitude after the mistake. And we choose to learn from the mistakes we made ourselves.”
“Secondly, what I did was purely my own stupidity. Nothing to do with my sister. So, it would be unfair if Ibu Lita hated Kak Hani just for having a sister who was pregnant out of wedlock with someone's husband. Sis Hani and I are 2 women with different traits, even though we were born from the same womb. If Ibu Lita also did not like my sister just because she was a cafe waitress, but now she has become a manager. I think, Brother Hani has done enough to solidify himself for Kak Razka. Then, what makes Mother Lita still do not like my sister, even though Bu Lita has not met her at all? Ms. Lita only knew my sister from the opinions of others. Brother Hani is not what Tasya said. Hani is the backbone of our family. Since High School, he worked for us, and he never gave up. Brother Hani also never had any intention of dating Kak Razka just for the sake of treasure, because during their first meeting, my brother did not know who Kak Razka was. Abstinence to my sister being a material crazy woman. Is it all not enough to make Mother Lita can judge my sister?”
“Three, the last. I understand if Bu Lita ever angry when our mother asked for money on Kak Razka, but did Kak Hani also return it? If the materialistic attitude of our mother makes Bu Lita does not like Kak Hani, I need to explain a little about him. Our mother's goal was good, to want her daughters to marry established men so that our lives would not be like her. Mother did not want her children to feel what she had felt before, when the father only worked odd jobs and not enough money to meet our needs. Until after my father died and we were kids, it was my mother who provided us with cookies to raise us. Then, is it wrong if now the mother only wants to rest when her children have grown up and ask us who continue to make a living for her? I'm sure, if we were mothers, we might not be as strong as her. Mother asked for money from Brother Hani, also from me now on, even from Razka, because she had never felt happy with the material. If we often argue with my mother because the money we give is not enough, it is not her fault, but because our income is lacking. He wants us to really be a successful person, so whatever money he asks for, does not matter to us.”
"We are sure, angry mother did not really regret having given birth to us. Mother is only disappointed and afraid if her children can not live well and miserable like her. Only, maybe the wrong way. That's also we understand because too deep inner wounds that the mother felt for many years lived in distress." Clara tried to hold back her tears while looking at her mother.
“I hope Bu Lita can understand it, even though you never felt the struggle of our mother. We make sure, our family including the mother, will not blackmail the family of Ms. Lita with this marriage. Thank you in advance and apologize if I have been sassy to speak so,” Clara said.
Bu Sukma also looked at Clara with teary eyes.
