It's been almost a month since his return from Honeymoon. Edgar and Mentari went back to their usual days. However, Edgar's request was stopped. About his request to make lunch. Mentari had made it happen several times, but Edgar felt unbearable when he saw the wife he had fancied in his study, even though there was a special room to rest. While he often does activities that require leaving the office.
In the midst of her serious gaze staring at the television screen, Mentari's phone rang from a familiar number, but not her husband's number. The mentor smiled faintly at the corner of his lips.
''Hallo Ma, how are you?'' sapa Mentari is friendly.
Mama-in-law who hasn't called for a long time, now, back again.
''Mama's good news, baby. How'''you?'' askalanya.
''I am also good Ma.'' replied Mentari.
Suddenly the voice of the woman sobbed. The mentor scrunched his forehead and sharpened his sense of hearing.
''Mama? Mama why?'' ask Mentari as if worried. Mentari shrinks the volume of the television sound to make it clearer to hear what her former in-laws have to say.
And before questioning that, Mentari hit the record mark. He will report it to his husband later.
''The woman came back to a standstill.
''Yes, Mom, why are you crying? Mama what's the matter?''
Mentari is not the old Dira. Which you easily bod*hi for personal gain. No longer want his kebod*hannya was repeated for the sake of a family that never appreciated him. Feeling tight in the chest when remembering the moment. Mentari kept trying to calm down, he sighed many times.
''You calm down, take a breath. Same story as me, what's up?'' ask Mentari.
The woman there smiled. As if convinced by the plan he has designed will succeed.
''Dira.. I don't know who to ask for help with. Mamma.. Mama is actually also embarrassed to talk to you, son.but, Mama is confused.''
Mentari took a deep breath and exhaled slowly so as not to be heard by the woman.
''Just tell me Ma, what can I help you with? and what's Mama's problem? I became very worried hearing Mama's voice like that.''
Apparently still unchanged, the middle-aged woman only wanted money, money, and money. This time, she returned after learning that her former daughter-in-law had become the wife of a rich man.
Mentari did not think, whether it had lost the shame in the woman. Mentari tried to be patient and serve what was said by his former in-laws.
''So, what can I help you with now, Ma?'' tanya Mentari acted as warmly as possible.
The woman smiled behind her phone.
''Dira, e. I mean Mama, Mentari. can you help Mama by giving a loan? E.. Mama promised to give it back, son.'' said the woman reassured.
''I'll work on it Ma. But, I discussed it with my husband first.''
''Thank you very much dear. I no longer know who to ask for help. Mom is really embarrassed.''
''Yes, Ma, it's okay. Mom and Dad take care of your health..''
''Yes, son, thank you for hearing my mother's complaint. Mama missed you, son..''
After speaking with her former in-laws, Mentari goes through her usual days with help below. Joining the house assistants made him happy, even though he was not allowed to do any heavy work. He also realized, his presence in the kitchen made the workers become awkward when doing activities.
Finished helping just that, Mentari was getting ready to welcome the arrival of Edgar who was soon to come.
Sure enough, the sound of a car entering the yard. Mentari immediately set foot into the living room.
''I miss you, baby.'' said Edgar directly kissed the Mentari's forehead friendly.
''Sama.'' replied Mentari slowly. Shame to be heard by others.
Edgar gently rubbed Mentari's hair and then went back to dye it.
