Tyranny Mother-in-Law

Reunions

"Mama, Amanda said next week she's coming to Jakarta."

"Yes, Manda told you?"

Laras nodded with a big smile.

"She's coming to my show next week. Manda was delivered with Om Satria, he said."

"Yes. Perhaps, Amanda would also like to shove to the grave of her mother as well, then to the tomb of her grandparents, who used to have taken care of her."

Niken stroking soft hair Barrel.

"Ma, why, Eyang Mirna isn't like Amanda's grandmother, huh? I'd love to be loved, or be spoiled for the same Eyang."

Laras looked up at Niken.

Niken took a deep breath before answering the question posed by her daughter.

"Mama is less, you know. But you should always remember well. Eyang Mirna is your Eyeang. Just like Eyang Kakung. Remember, in the past, Eyang Kakung always took you to walk around the complex motorbike, or invite you to the factory, while batik. You should never hate him. He is still his eye. Just like Oma. Although mom and dad are not together, but, you must still respect Eyang Mirna."

"Have you ever missed papa?" Chirps Laras then.

Niken smiled thinly.

"Here, finish the meal, then immediately rest. You'll be testing vocals again in the afternoon, right?"

Laras nodded, then immediately obeyed his mother. Spend her lunch, then get some rest.

Niken prepared the ingredients to make brownies for the afternoon order, all the while taking Laras to the tutoring place during this time.

*

A week later.....

Laras is preparing to perform.

Niken went backstage to give a hug and encouragement to her daughter.

After hugging Laras affectionately, Niken looked at Laras.

"Spirit! I'm sure you can!"

"Yes, Ma. Surely can. Kan, it's been training for days, Ma." Barrel sniggers.

"You are that, yes. Always pede. Anyway show the best. Mama is proud of Laras!"

"Yes, please record my show, yes, Ma!" Pinta Barrel.

"Ready, pretty boy!"

Niken gave her thumbs up while smiling widely.

Barrel turned towards the stage.

Then, Niken rushed to take a place in the front to take a picture of his daughter.

Without realizing Niken, a pair of eyes from earlier noticed each motion from a distance.

This time Laras duet with a famous singer for an event in a large mall in Jakarta, for the launch of a new brand of a product.

Niken captured the moment by recording and taking as many pictures as possible.

A boisterous sound of applause and cheers accompanied after the song was finished being sung.

Niken followed Laras backstage and took pictures with the famous singer as well.

"You're cool, kid! Mama's confused where you got this cool talent from."

"From God, dong, Ma." Chirps Laras while chuckling.

"Clearned! You're so cool now!"

"Manda!"

The two teenage girls hugged each other and giggled.

"This is for aspiring capital artists! Tar, if you're famous, don't forget about me!" Sergey Amanda.

"Never forget. I miss you, last vacation you didn't come. So this time, I let's meet here. Kesel, wait for you!"

Barrel stuck his tongue out at Amanda.

"I'm tuh...."

"Amanda, yesterday there was an event in Semarang, sent the school to the race."

Sela Satria with a big smile.

Niken catches something covered by the couple's father and son, however, soon Niken removes the taste.

"Well, congratulations. Continues, how? Won't you?"

Ask Laras curiously.

"Win dong! Our school's first champion!"

Amanda showed a photo of her phone to Laras.

Bring Niken.

Baras pulled Amanda's arm straight towards a cafe in the mall.

Satria and Niken smiled amusedly at their behavior.

Suddenly a man approached them with two bouquets of flowers.

"It's for the singer, and it's for the cute kid!"

Her speech.

"Om Ranges! Why is new coming! Huh, kristin. It's gone, males!" Omel Amanda on that guy named Rangga.

Niken was silent and glued. He looked at the man without a blink.

His memory floated dozens of years ago. Where he still works in Jakarta.

Before he knew Satria and Amanda.

Stifling...

The man is a senior and friend of Bima.

The man who was always considered like a big brother to Niken.

Where to ask when there are difficulties when working, or where to confide in work, office, friends, or when there is a problem with Bima.

He can always be a good listener.

Although sometimes without a solution, but, Niken is always comfortable removing all the uneg-uneg in his heart.

"Hi!" Niken opened her palm towards Rangga.

"How are you?" Ask.

"Good."

"Well, you guys know each other?" Satria asked in surprise.

Niken and Rangga just smiled broadly while staring at Satria and Amanda.

"Mas Rangga, my former colleague in Jakarta." Sahut Niken's.

"Ohhhhh!" Satria and Amanda said together.

"Oya, how are you Bima? She's not coming? Or is it busy?" Rangga asked as his eyes looked for Bima's figure.

All speechless.

"Mama and Papa are separated, Om." Laras replied with a wry smile, answering that.

Rangga was silent, the look on his face looked concerned, then looked at Laras and smiled.

"You're a strong boy! Om sure, whatever happens to your parents now, just take the bright side, yeah!" Said Rangga while patting Laras shoulder.

Laras nodded.

"Thank you, flowers, Om."

Rangga replied with a nod and a smile.

"Then, what's your relationship?" Niken instead asked Rangga and Satria.

Amanda and Laras are currently buying coffee at the booth next to the cafe.

"Rangga is the older sister of my late wife. He was very busy, especially after papa died, he finally took care of the family business." Bright Satria.

"Om Rangga is also anti-girl! I don't know if I don't like girls or anything." Sela Amanda sipped her coffee, and sat down beside Rangga.

"You're getting bigger, getting cute, yeah!" Rangga pinched Amanda's cheek in a fit of anxiety.

"Since, Om Rangga if not diomeli, do not walk! Even when my grandmother died, I wasn't married."

"Biarin, just, Manda. Maybe Om Rangga hasn't found a suitable candidate."

Cut Satria.

Rangga smiled in response.

"Then what is busy at this time, Mas Rangga?"

"Om Rangga is busy, Auntie! Frequently go abroad. Whether to export coffee or not to participate in the exhibition. Then not to mention ngurus rubber kebon in Sumatra and Kalimantan. Pokonya rich, a month it's at home at least two until a maximum of three days." Amanda explained at length with Kamit's lips.

Everyone chuckles at Amanda's explanation.

"It looks like I have a personal assistant at the moment." Chirps Rangga while chuckling.

Warmth was created at that time. They talked until night.

After enjoying dinner, Amanda chooses to enjoy sleeping in the house of Laras.

Satria returned to Rangga's residence.
