The Papa-in-law's

"Oh yes. Abi nanyain Syanum to you? it's a big tumben" said Bu Reva.

"Kangen kali Ma" said Dila.

"Well, kangen must be. Moreover, Syanum is pregnant with children of flesh blood," said Mr. Damar.

"Pa. Did you meet Syanum at Luna's house?"'ask Bu Reva.

"Yet. Papa has not had time," replied Mr. Damar.

"Yes already. We are Ma, who went there," said Dila.

"Don't. Let anyone go there," said Mr. Damar.

"Pa. Mama also misses Syanum. Mama come with me Pa. We'll pick up Syanum so he wants to stay in this house again" said Bu Reva.

"If he wants to. If not how? papa couldn't have meant him."

Sunday morning, Syanum and Ryan were still on the front page of the house. Ryan has been working on fruit for Syanum.

"This is Brother, I've sliced small fruit. Now you can eat right away."

"Thank you, yeah."

"Yes Brother."

Ryan put a knife on the table. After that he looked at Syanum eating fruit.

Ryan has been watching Syanum eat fruit. It's been three months that Ryan has accompanied Syanum like his own wife. Starting from taking a check, buying what Syanum wants, and accompanying Syanum when at home.

'This is how it feels to have a wife. But, unfortunately Syanum is not my wife. But his wife Abi. But, seeing Syanum happy like this, I became a happy follower, Ryan's mind.

Ryan's gaze suddenly fixated on a car that stopped right in front of the gate of his house.

'Like Om Damar's car. Want to get him here.' Inner Ryan.

Ryan hurriedly stepped forward to see who was coming.

"Yin. Where are you going?" ask Syanum.

Ryan looked towards Syanum.

"Wait a minute, brother."

Ryan then stepped up to open the gate of his house. It looks like Mr. Damar got out of his car.

"Ryan. Where is Syanum?" ask Mr. Damar.

"Oms. Want to find Syanum?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"He's on the porch Om. Come on in Om!" Ryan invited Mr. Damar in and took him to the direction of Syanum.

Syanum was surprised when he saw the arrival of Mr. Damar.

"Father," Syanum immediately stood up.

"Syanum" said Mr. Damar smiling at Syanum.

"Do you know where I'm from?" ask Syanum.

"Papa knew from the beginning that you were here. But forgive Papa. Because Papa can only come here. Because Papa is busy with Papa's work in the office."

"It's okay Pa. Papa wants to go inside first. Go Pa! bring Syanum.

Mr. Damar then went inside Ryan's house. Ryan and Syanum entered the house.

They sat on the living room couch. So also with Syanum who followed his father-in-law sat down.

"Oms. Why don't you come here just say it." said Ryan.

"Om there's just a little more need to be with Syanum."

Ryan stood up.

"Yes already. Let Om and Syanum talk better, Ryan stay ahead."

"Lho. Kok left. Why don't we go talk to Ryan?"

"No Om. I'm gonna go get some wind again."

Ryan then left Syanum and Mr. Damar in the living room.

"Why not go to the office?" ask Syanum

"No. Papa's taking a holiday first. Papa is tired of having to drive back and forth to the office himself," replied Mr. Damar.

"No. Dad is looking for a new driver. I'm afraid the driver won't fit."

"Oh. It's."

"Oh yes. Where's luna going?" ask Mr. Damar who did not see the presence of Luna in the house.

"I'm here just like Ryan Pa. Luna was busy with her buttons. Usually, I help Luna at the boutique. But today I just took control of my womb to the same hospital as Ryan. Ryan didn't go to the office."

"Oh. How's Papa's grandson? is she healthy?" ask Mr. Damar.

"Yes. Healthy Pa."

"Thank God, Papa was happy to hear Syanum. And how healthy are you, right?" ask Mr. Damar.

"Yes Pa. Thank goodness you are healthy."

"Syanum. Mama and Kak Dila miss you very much. Do you want to go home to papa?" ask Mr. Damar suddenly.

Syanum. He wanted to forget Fabian. She had plans to divorce her husband after his son was born. Syanum also plans to return to his mother's hometown.

"Sorry Pa. I can't go home to Papa."

"Why Syanum? are you still angry with Abi? please forgive Abi Syanum."

"I'm sorry he was Pa. Even if he never apologizes to me first, I'll still apologize to him."

"So you want to go back with Abi? you want to go home to us."

"Sorry Pa. I can't. Fabian never loved me. Despite being forced like anything he will still never be able to forget the Mentari."

"No Syanum. You wrong. Fabian's already starting to love you. He's changed."

"No Pa. I can't. I was disappointed with him. I'm sorry Pa."

"Keep, do you still want a divorce from her?"

"It looks so Pa. I want a divorce after this child is born."

"Syanum. Please give Fabian a chance to correct his mistake. And pity your son. He still needs a father figure, son. You can't sacrifice your son because of the selfishness of both of you."

Syanum breathed deeply.

"Pa. It's just Papa's wish, I'm back with Mas Fabian. But Fabian didn't want that. He just wants a Mentari in his life. Let me go Pa. To have Mas Fabian back with Mentari. Love need not be forced. Why survive if one of us is hurt."

"Syanum. Divorce is hated by God. If you and Fabian can still mend your relationship, why don't you do it. And before your father died, he had also sent me the same message. He doesn't want you and Fabian to get divorced."

"But I still can't Pa. I cannot go back with a man whose heart is still for another woman. I can't. I'm sorry Pa."

Since then, Mr. Damar still persuaded his son-in-law that he would return to his home. However, it seems that Syanum still wants a divorce. Perhaps the wound in Syanum's heart was too deep to be healed.

After a long time Mr. Damar chat with Syanum, finally Mr. Damar decided to go home.

"Papa don't worry about me. Here I help Luna at the boutique. It's the same way I work with Luna Pa. I also got a salary from Luna."

"Yes. Papa is just worried about your content. Papa doesn't want you to be too tired Syanum."

"Not so Pa. I can take good care of my body. Papa just calm down."

"Yes already. If so, papa will go home first. Papa has a lot of business too."

Syanum.

"Yes Pa."

"Take care of yourself and your future grandchildren Papa well, son here. If there's anything, you quickly tell Papa."

"Yes Pa."

After saying goodbye to Syanum, Mr. Damar went outside. He stepped closer towards Ryan and sat down by Ryan's side.

"Oms. Do you want to go home? hurry up, Om?" ask Ryan.

"Actually, Om wants to bring Syanum back home."

"Continue?"

"But the shanum won't."

"Yes is Om. Don't forced.

The shanum was already unanimous in its decision. She wants a divorce from Fabian's sister. So, just let it be Om. It's free to force people to stay together. While they just don't want to be together."

"Yes Ryan. Go home first yes. Shaneum is with you. Please take care of Syanum. If there is anything with him, please tell Om. Either he wants to be born, or whatever it is."

"Ready Om."

After saying goodbye to Ryan, Mr. Damar then left Ryan's house.
