Nirmala grabbed Alia from Aldi's hand, then she hugged and kissed her.
While Alia was silent, she saw the woman who resembled her mother crying and hugging her.
Nirmala was saddened when she remembered how she had left Aira at that time, when Aira had not yet turned seven.
After being satisfied with her grandson, Nirmala led them to a private room.
"Let's Aira, come with our mother to chat in my private room."Nirmala.
Nirmala still carries Aira, occasionally kissing her grandson again because she feels guilty for leaving Aira when she still needs affection from him.
When they reached a room, Nirmala invited them to sit down.
"Please son, "he said while pointing to the sofa.
Tears never stopped flowing to the two, Nirmala approached Aira again and hugged and kissed her several times.
It seems he does not believe that Aira, who left him as a child, is now a beautiful woman and has married a handsome man who is rich.
"I'm sorry for Aira's mother" Nirmala said many times as she re-hugged her beloved daughter.
"Already Mom, Aira is happy if it turns out that mother's condition is fine," said Aira.
The two again broke his embrace.
"Then ma'am, why did you leave and never come back, Aira was so worried about you, " said Aira with tears that kept flowing to hang on her chin.
Aira swept away the tears that had washed her cheeks again.
Nirmala grabbed Aira's hand.
"The thought of mother's life is not as you imagined Nak before, Mother had been deceived during working abroad, two years of working without pay, mother, and the next two years, my mom's paycheck runs out to pay off her loan debt to one of the agencies."
"It was only the fifth and sixth years that the mother could get a full salary, but at that time the mother again decided to return to work as TKW, and there the mother began to successfully raise money."
"Six years ago, I tried to meet you, but the runah was empty, after asking the neighbors, they said that your father was in prison, and that he was in prison, they also told me about your unfortunate fate after being lived by your mother, but they also told me that you had married a handsome young businessman who loved you so much" Nirmala said.
"Mother was relieved, mother continued to search for your whereabouts but found no results." Nirmala.
"Yes Bu, since six years ago Aira also left this city, "he said sadly.
"Then, are you married now?"ask Aira.
Nirmala nodded weakly, "Mom became the second wife of a businessman and a member of the Aira legislature" she said with a bowed face.
Aira swallowed her saliva, she did not want to interfere too much with the household affairs of the mother.
"But are you happy Mom? living a household like that?"ask Aira.
"Honestly there is a burden on my mother, Nak, we married in series, and Mr. Yanto did not tell our marriage to his first wife."Nirmala
Aira breathed heavily, though she hated all forms of cheating, but this time her lips were speechless.
"Mom, actually one of the reasons we came here to see my mother is because Aira and mas Aldi are planning to get married again" said Aira.
"Married?so you two were separated earlier?" ask Nirmala.
The two nodded weakly, Nirmala let out a long sigh, "It's up to you boys, if you still feel like you're in love, why not, mom will always bless your relationship" Nirmala said.
Like getting a fresh breeze, the two were smiling happily, let alone Aira, the heavy burden that he had been carrying felt off his shoulders, what else is the life of the mother who is quite established so that she does not need to worry about it.
After talking and chatting, Nirmala invited them to lunch outside.
Seeing the car used by his prospective son-in-law, Nirmala was sure if the prospective son-in-law was not an arbitrary person.
***
A tiring day for the three, the afternoon Aldi immediately drove Aira and Alia home.
Because he did not want to linger in the house, Aldi decided to go home soon, and make plans for his wedding.
***
After a long day of travel Aira decided to lay her body on a chair.
Mr. Tarman approached Aira, "What about Aira with your mother? have you met him?" asked Mr. Tarman while landing his ass on a chair, sitting next to Aira.
"Already sir, even the mother's life is better than we thought, the mother married a businessman and legislator in her area," said Aira.
Hearing Aira's words, Mr. Tarman was sad, his hope to return to Nirmala was impossible, he returned to his room and then cried bitterly, he regretted having wasted two women in his life.
The point of Mr. Tarman's tears fell soaking his cheeks that began to wrinkle.
He has wasted the most wonderful gifts God has given him - son and wife.
Mr. Tarman recalls the good times in the beginning and Nirmala got married and had Aira.
"When there is a second chance to return, I want the family to reunite, "the mummy as it sweeps away the falling tears.
Suddenly he remembered Aira and Aldi who wanted to reunite their family.
"I feel too selfish to separate them, and blame Aldi, if God alone is able to forgive his sinful people, why can't I forgive Aldi who has wasted my son, not once, I'm the same, I've made my daughter's life suffer, hyks," Mr. Tarman's body shaken with his sadness.
The regret and sorrow made him realize again, if not he should hinder the happiness of his daughter, while he himself never gave happiness to Aira.
Mr. Tarman again curled up, a few moments later he prostrated himself begging for forgiveness and regretting his mistake.
***
Aira cooked dinner for them, while Alia was drawing in the living room, Mr. Tarman came out of the room and approached her granddaughter.
"Alia's in what picture?"ask Mr. Tarman.
Alia was silent, staring at Mr. Tarman cynically.
Realizing the cynical nature of his grandson, Mr. Tarman again realized his mistake, even Alia could sulk, because Mr. Tarman who did not approve of his parents united.
Mr. Tarman saw a painting of Alia drawing his little family.
Mr. Tarman holds Alia even though the girl is pouting.
"Alia darling, grandpa asked me why, Alia, what's the picture?"ask Mr. Tarman back.
"Alia the picture, father, mother, and Alia the cake," her answer with a pouting face and pursed lips.
Alia presented her picture to Mr. Tarman.
Mr. Tarman smiled at the picture that Alia painted.
"Alia wants Alia's family to be united?" asked Mr. Tarman with a clear grain dripping slowly on his cheek.
"Yes, but why the hell do not like the father, Alia sebel the grandfather," he said still with a sullen face and pursed lips.
Mr. Tarman smiled, "No, Grandpa did not get angry with father, said the same father if grandfather gave father permission to re-marry mother Alia again," said Mr. Tarman.
"Well, my mother and father can remarry?" tanya Alia was happy.
"Dear, Grandpa will do anything for the happiness of Grandpa's granddaughter" said Mr. Tarman while kissing Alia's soft cheeks.
Alia came down from the lap of Mr. Tarman, "Asik finally Alia can stay with father and mother again," he said as he turned to excitement.
"Mother! Mother!" Let's call Dad, grandpa's not mad at you anymore!" alia shouted as she ran towards the kitchen.
Aira smiled happily, she herself heard directly the conversation between father and daughter.
"Alhamdullilah at last you bless me and Aldi mas," he muttered as he swept the clear circle that dripped because of haru.
