Meanwhile, far away in a village precisely in the hometown of Clara, Seemed a boy who was none other than Bimo. He looked unsettled and repeatedly looked at his mother Clara who was sowing flowers on a tomb he had just found out was the tomb of his grandmother, which means her great-grandmother.
"Bima, why are you still standing there, Son? we don't want ya, sowing flowers on your great-grandmother's meal?" call Clara in a soft tone. The woman's eyes look puffy after revealing her heart while crying in the belly of the grandmother who had taken care of her from childhood.
Bimo breathed quite heavily. It was not that he did not want to sow flowers, but his thoughts were now very uneasy, recalling the message that Bima had just sent, Bima said, yang said that this afternoon his twin sister would reveal all the lies and crimes of Tania, to thwart the signing of the inheritance letter.
"Mom, did you hear mama? why are you still standing there? come on over here!" Clara made a sound again with her eyes squinting.
"Yes, Ma." Bimo quickly moved closer to his mother Clara.
"Come now it's your turn. You sow the flowers and pour the water," Clara gave a plastic bag filled with flowers and placed a bottle of water near Bimo's feet.
Bimo finally did everything at Clara's request.
"Ma, we're going home right after coming home from this tomb?" bimo asked in the hope that his mother would answer yes, although it was very unlikely that his mother would answer like that.
"Why should you hurry? didn't Mom tell you we were going home later?" just like Bimo guessed, if his mother would definitely not answer 'yes'.
"Yes, Ma. But I have something important to do. So I want to go straight home" said Bimo gave an excuse.
Clara was silent for a moment. Not at all at the request of his son.
"What is important that you do? did it take so long that you couldn't wait until we got home in the afternoon? mama has not come home for a long time, it is unethical to go home right now, Bima."
Bimo did not respond at all because what his mother said was true. If it were not for the things Bima wanted to do this afternoon, he also wanted to stay for a long time in his mother's village, because he really likes the village that feels very cool and full of family between neighbors.
"But the Ma I want to do is very important, so we go straight home. Next time we can still come back here, "please Bimo who makes Clara even more suspicious.
"Why are you so anxious to go home? all right, we can go straight home, but you tell me first, what's important is that we have to go home" Clara said, enthusiastically.
Cold sweat began to flow in Bimo's temple. I want it to feel like she's being frank but, she's trying to hold it in.
"Why are you quiet, son? are you__"
"Claras, Clara!" clara's words came to a sudden halt as someone shouted calling her name.
Clara turned her head towards the voice and saw a beautiful woman who was the daughter of her neighbor and was her best friend while in the village.
"What's up, Rin? why are you running like that?" ask Clara to her best friend named Karin.
Karin did not answer. Woman I tried to catch her breath first because she was tired of running.
"There's a man coming looking for you. He said he was from Jakarta and wanted to pick you up" said Karin with a breath that was still a little boring.
"Who?" clara's eyebrows are linked.
"I don't know either. But he admitted that he was close to you. Let's go home first, because my mom started thinking badly, thinking you were lying last night only if your husband Bara, did not come home because he had to work. Mama already thought that Bara your husband had left you," explained Karin again made Clara's eyes grow and immediately ran away from the tomb followed by Bimo and Karin.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Sir Theo!" clara exclaimed as soon as she saw who the male figure was meant by Karin.
"Da-where does Brother know I'm here?" clara asked nervously and questioningly.
Theo published a smile and approached Clara who was still standing in the doorway.
"Who else if not and Arumi. From yesterday I was looking for you to say happy birthday and invite dinner, but it turns out you said back home. So last night went straight here and slept in the car. I want to know your village and pick you up at once" explained Theo casually and accompanied by a big smile, hoping Clara was impressed by his efforts.
"Claras? did you cheat on your husband's back with this guy?" clara opened her mouth to respond to Theo, a middle-aged woman who was the niece of her grandmother, or her mother Karin interrupted with a sharp gaze demanding an explanation.
"cheating?" theo muttered. "Eh, don't get me wrong! clara and I have never had an affair. I approached her because she was divorced from her husband,"
"Why? I'm right, aren't I? you and that man were divorced even before your son was born?" theo continued, not realizing that the middle-aged woman had cried as well as Karin.
"Why are you hiding what you're going through, Clara? don't you consider us your family anymore?" the middle-aged woman was now as eager as she was.
"Ti-it's not like that, Bude. I just don't want Bude and the others to be sad and thoughtful. I feel like I can still get through all my problems" Clara said, hugging the middle-aged woman she already thinks is like her own mother.
"Did he leave you, after his memory had recovered? and it turns out she already has another woman she loves?" ask the woman again.
"Not a woman who was loved but Clara's ex-husband turned out to have a wife and children, so she__"
"Sister Theo! you said you were going to pick me up, right? yes, we go home now. Because Bima also said there was important business that he had to do in Jakarta!" sambar Clara, before Theo got longer and wider, revealed everything he had hidden from his loved ones. In addition, she did not want to because of kebablasan, Theo so know that her ex-husband is Bara who is the husband of his sister, Tania.
"Well, this is my chance to get home soon. At least, we didn't need to wait for the bus to leave," Inner Bimo, whose face instantly turned bright.
"Yes,Om. We better go straight home now. I'll get my bag and mama's bag first!" to shorten the time, without waiting for an answer and as if not concerned with answers, Bimo immediately ran to take his mother's bag and her bag as well. Bimo felt that the arrival of Theo was by the will of God who wanted to make it easier for them to return to Jakarta quickly without obstacles.
"Bude, we go home first! next time you'll be here again. Bude take it easy, I'm fine now and I've got some effort. I'm happy now too Bude!" clara said as she hugged the middle-aged woman.
"All right, boy! But next time Bude begs for whatever happens to you, please tell bude and Karin" said the woman, wiping her tears and gently stroking Clara's cheek.
When he was about to hug Karin, his best friend looked as if he was avoiding Clara.
"Rin, are you angry? please don't be angry dong!" clara's voice sounded clear. Because he knew his best friend could at least see him sad. Even he used to like Bara, but he forced his feelings for Clara's happiness.
Hearing Clara's tone, making Karin. immediately cry and hug Clara.
"I'm upset, you didn't tell me everything that happened. I feel like you don't think of me anymore!"karin protests on the sidelines of his cries.
"Sorry! next time I promise I'll tell you whatever my problem is!" Clara forced to smile.
"Promise yes!" said Karin who was taken head by Clara.
"Come on, we're going home now!" chirps Bimo who is impatient again.
Meanwhile, Theo has no problem at all why Clara suddenly invites him to go home, because it is covered with happy feelings. Especially after seeing Bimo who usually always tried to distance himself and the mother now he himself who invites to come with his car. Theo feels that his move to get Clara's heart has gotten the green light.
The three of them finally stepped together towards Theo's parked car not far away.
When Clara wanted to sit on the back bench with Bimo, the boy saw a streak of disappointment on the masculine man's face. Bimo felt there was no harm in making the man happy even if only for a while.
"Ma, you better sit in front with Om Theo. Let me be alone in the back. Kasian Om Theo himself!"
Bimo's words just now suddenly made Clara's eyebrows knit, confused to see the change of her son who seemed to want her to be close to Theo. Though he knew every man that came to his house, Bimo always put a cruel face and always ketus in speech.
The same thing was felt by Theo. This time he really felt that Clara's child had given him the green light.
"I'm sorry, Om Theo. I had to use you. This is all so that we can arrive in Jakarta on time" Bimo whispered to himself.
"Hold a minute, Ma, Om! something is left behind!" bimo said suddenly as he ran back into the house and into the room.
"What's up, Bima? is there anything left?" asked Karin with her eyebrows linked.
"Yes, Auntie! I forgot to bring the necklace that Grandma Munah gave me earlier" said Bimo while putting the necklace into his backpack and running out of the house.
