Aby decided not to return to the office after returning from Rio's residence. He gave all his work to Yuda, his papa's assistant, and now his assistant, who, despite being 41 years old, was still deft and young at heart.
Aby parked her car in front of the mansion and got down immediately. Along the way, his heart always wondered why he could eat so voraciously and not feel the slightest nausea when eating the food cooked by Celyn. At first he thought, because of the wind that he felt was no longer there. But that supposition was gone, when the smell of food cooked by Jasmine, greeting her nose, her stomach seemed to be stirred again.
"What's wrong with me? is this because the two children conceived by Celyn really want me as her father? it might be like that." whispered Aby, sure.
Aby entered the mansion and saw an extremely quiet atmosphere. Only the servants who passed by and greeted Aby while bowing her body.
"Where's mom and dad?" aby asked one of the servants who happened to be passing by him.
"Sir Ardan and Mother were out, sir and I don't know where to go" said the woman, politely.
"Oh! yes, I went up first yes, Ma'am!" Aby went upstairs, after the woman who was the housekeeper, agreed.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
As usual, after dinner, Ardan and Amanda did not go straight into the room. Usually they will chat casually in the family room while watching the show on television.
"Ma, Pa, can Aby talk to you for a second?" aby asked as she landed her body sitting on the sofa.
Ardan and Amanda looked at each other for a moment. They realized that there seemed to be something serious that the son wanted to talk about.
"Come, why not?" ardan said with a hand that grabbed the remote control and pressed the off button, turning off the television.
"What do you want to say?" asked Ardan with a serious look.
Aby breaths for a moment by taking a deep breath, then exhales slowly and long enough. Amanda and Ardan are looking forward to the child expressing what they want to talk about patiently.
"Pa, Ma, I want to marry Celyn" Aby said, without further ado.
"Seriously?!" Amanda cheers happily, to the point that she stands up from where she sits, and Aby nods her head in agreement.
"Thank God, you're finally going to fulfill your mother's request." Amanda again landed her body sitting on the sofa, with an expanding smile that reluctantly went from her lips.
Meanwhile, Ardan did not give an exaggerated response like Amanda. He stared intensely at Aby, looking at the look on his son's face, feeling that there was something else his eldest son wanted to say.
"Why your face? you said that you wanted to marry Celyn, but it seems like there is something else you want to say" Ardan said with probing eyes.
Netra Amanda and Ardan grew up perfectly, looking at her son with a look of disbelief.
"Did you make her pregnant?" the look in Ardan's reddened eyes restrained his anger, feeling that his son's actions were very depraved.
"No,Pa! but it's someone else that even Cellyn doesn't know who it is." explains Aby, leaving Amanda and Ardan further engulfed in shock and confusion.
Looking at her speechless parents, Aby finally tells her in detail what happened and even why she decided to marry Celyn and father the baby she conceived.
"Ma, Aunt Jasmine sacrificed herself to help and cover up my mother's disgrace. So let me now do the same to cover up the disgrace of Celyn." Aby sincerely explained.
Amanda and Ardan, flinch and look at each other for a split second. In the next instant, Ardan let out a long sigh and looked back at his son, who was patiently waiting for the decision of his parents.
"Father, you can only respect your decision by agreeing to whatever you think is good. But you should know that marriage is a serious thing and you should not take it as a game. Are you sure of your decision?" ask Ardan.
"Aby has thought about it carefully and has been very confident in the decision that Aby has taken" said Aby, firmly.
"By, you want to ask, don't you have feelings of love for Cellyn?" ask Amanda, staring deeply into Aby's bead eye.
Aby, unmoved, did not know what to answer her mother's question, because she still felt ambiguous with the feelings she had.
"For now I still don't know clearly the feelings I have, Ma. But I don't want to say that I don't love him. Because, if I say that, I can confirm that I really don't love him . But, I just want to say, maybe I 'yet' love him and someday as time goes by, the word hasn't changed to already love him." said Aby, diplomatically.
"But why did you ask me that?" asked Aby with a furrowed eyebrow.
"Because living with a man who doesn't love us is a very painful thing for a woman, son. The woman is a creation of God given privilege. He could be seen to remain steadfast despite barely giving up, remaining patient despite wanting to complain, remaining strong despite almost falling down. Maybe in plain sight, will not be seen, but actually the inner woman was crying, if you get a husband who is apathetic to them," explained Amanda, want her child, she said, understanding that he had the courage to make Cellyn his wife, he had to be ready to provide comfort and make her feel truly loved.
Aby mangut-mangut, understand what the words of his mother are. "Mama, take it easy, didn't I just say that the word can't turn into 'already'? that means, Aby already intends to learn to open her heart and try to love Cellyn." said Aby, to make a smile on Amanda's lips expands perfectly.
"Well, you believe, if this mama's son, the man responsible for what he said. Remember, son, if you're thinking of hurting a woman, just remember that you were born hard-earned by a woman. And remember, too, that you have a little sister. Just imagine, if you hurt a woman, there is another man who will hurt Anin, or even your daughter in the future. Or the simple word 'karma exists'." Amanda said, giving advice.
"Yes, what your mother said is true. But there is more important, you must plant it in your heart and you must remember well. 'Remember, the woman is always right'." chirped Ardan who suddenly got a sharp plot from Amanda.
