Turning Point

SIXTY-FIVE

Cheers were clearly visible in the dining room of Ratih's mother's residence tonight. Lintang, Ratih's mother, Friska, and also Nana were seen enjoying this dinner dish with a soy sauce chicken menu that looks so appetizing. While occasionally heard babbling from Nana who was good at telling anything.

"Where is your school Fris?", asked Lintang to Friska.

Friska put her spoon on the plate. "Currently, I've started taking extracurriculars as well, so it's a little busier"

"Home home in the afternoon?", asked Lintang.

"Yes not often mbak, yes it was if there was extracurricular return a little afternoon" replied Friska.

Latitude nodded. "Yes, the important thing is to be careful if it is right to go home in the afternoon. A lot of them, right?"

"Yes mbak, the same village we are also a lot of schools in my place" explained Friska. The latitude nodded back.

The view of Lintang turned to Nana who was busy enjoying her soy sauce chicken until the straw to everywhere.

"Honey to eat it looks so greedy, delicious huh?, asked Lintang seductively.

"Yes mother, the chicken made by the grandmother is very tasty, savory nyooiiii, Nana can take again right?", he asked innocently.

The one in the dining room laughed at Nana's behavior.

"What is a pity?", asked Lintang curiously while holding his smile.

"Waaahhh mother out of date. That's the loh mother, who sells round tofu that is often around in front of the grandmother's house. Round tofu fried impromptu five hundreds, savory nyoii" replied Nana while mimicking a round tofu seller who often roamed in front of Ranti's mother's house.

The babbling of his son suddenly made Lintang terbahak. And a little makes him shift the burden of the mind he is thinking.

Ratih's mother Friska also sounded out loud.

"Geez, here often buy round tofu, to memorize promotional words from the seller" said Ratih's mother while shaking her head.

"What, so your wife already knows everything?" asked Reni to Agum.

Agum rattled his hair rough. "Yes Ren, just yesterday he found out, even I had a chance to slap him"

Reni smiled faintly. "Good that, you do have to be a little harder on him mas, so that he doesn't dare to intrude on your privacy!! "

Agum just shook his head. A sign that he does not understand what steps to take. He did feel terribly guilty to Lintang but his heart was also heavy to Reni.

"Have we ended our relationship?" said Agum.

Reni's eyes widened upon hearing the question from Agum. "What?!!, you want us to end all this mas?".

Agum was still silent not answering a word.

Reni drew closer to Agum, and leaned her head on Agum's shoulders. "I don't want to, you also said that you love me so much, and only I can make you happy?"

"Then should I how Ren?", asked Agum frustratedly.

Reni clasped Agum's hand tightly. "You said you'd fight for our love, didn't you?, and you also said that we'd live together in the future?"

Agum threw his breath rough. He felt so upset. Reni seemed to understand Agum's timelessness. He then hugged her.

"Let's fight together for our love. For a while we stayed like this. Or if I need to stay away from you. And you try to convince Lintang, that we have nothing to do anymore" Reni suggested.

Agum seemed to think hard. There is a point in what Reni said. Agum understood that Lintang would definitely return to trust him if he tried to change his attitude sweeter in front of Lintang.

Tok....

Ratih's mother walked into the living room and then opened the door.

"Nak Agum?" said Ratih's mother

Agum kissed the back of her mother-in-law's hand. "Good night ma'am, the same latitude deck Nana's sleeping ma'am?"

Mrs Ratih was increasingly convinced that something had happened between Lintang and her daughter-in-law.

"Let's go in first son!", said Ratih's mother. Agum followed behind his mother-in-law. Then he sat in the living room chair.

"Nana's same star is sleeping, son. Do you want to wake up?", haggled Ratih's mother.

"May ma'am?", asked Agum.

Ratih's mother nodded. "For a while, son, let me wake up Lintang" said Ratih's mother as she sauntered into Lintang's room.

Agum looked around the living room of her mother-in-law's house. Suddenly his gaze was fixed on a picture frame in the corner of the room. Yes, the photo that three years ago was taken shortly after the marriage contract in this house. Unknowingly Agum's tears were dripping.

I'm sorry deck, I've been trapped by my past which is very hard for me to let go of. I will keep you but I will not let Reni go either.

Agum immediately wiped away the details of his tears after seeing Lintang and Ratih's mother walking towards him.

Lintang only smiled wryly at Agum's arrival. He then sat in front of Agum as well as Ratih's mother.

The silent atmosphere created was only a clockwise detikan that sounded so clear in the room. Ratih's mother was increasingly convinced, that Lintang and Agum were in a dispute.

"Ndhuk, I don't know what's going on between you and son Agum. But I ask for help to be resolved immediately, pity Nana if she sees her father and mother like this"

Latitude jerks. Sure enough, if it takes too long like this it will definitely be bad for Nana.

"Sir, we go home yuk?!", said Agum

Lintang turned his head towards his mother, intending to ask for an opinion. Ratih's mother smiled and nodded. "Go home with nak Agum, ndhuk. Solve the problem you're dealing with, let Nana here first"

"We say yes ma'am", Agum said while standing, followed by Lintang.

Agum kissed her mother-in-law's hand and then came out. While the latitude is still visible in the house.

Ratih's mother smiled. "Patiently yes ndhuk, every household will have their own tests. But I'm sure there's a way out. You must be strong"

The latitude nodded slowly. "Inshaallah ma'am"
