After Ms. Herlin's offer, Laila became unwell with each encounter with Ms. Indah. There was a sense in his heart. Meanwhile Laila wanted to explain something out of nowhere to start.
"Beautiful Bu is not the same as Ms Herlin?" laila Mummings.
The door of the room opened, Laila immediately stared at the arrival of the person who opened the door without excuse.
"Thank God you're ready. Let's go together!" bring the Beautiful Ma'am.
"Yes ma'am" replied Laila.
All this time Laila never knew where Ms. Lovely went. As far as Laila knows, Ms. Beautiful always comes out because there is business. What business and with whom, Laila had no idea.
"Later to go home was picked up by Ms. Herlin. He wants to show the cake shop is the same as you," said B Indah on the way to school.
Laila looked at the Exquisite Bu with a confused look. What Ms. Indah said this morning was inversely proportional to her speech last night. Though Bu Indah seemed to convince Laila not to accept the offer of Bu Herlin. But without any talk, suddenly Bu Indah as if asking Laila to agree to the request of Bu Indah.
"Mother seriously?" ask Laila.
"Yes. I think he really loves you. It's not my intention to give your future to him, but I guess as long as it's good for you why not? He's got enough links for the cake business. While me?" said Mrs Beautiful.
"Mom sure?" ask Laila.
"Why? Do I look unconvincing?" ask the Beautiful Mom.
"Mom, I'm sorry if I was presumptuous. I don't want Ms. Herlin's offer to make me uncomfortable. For me, the business of my dreams of opening a cake shop was a later affair. As I gathered my knowledge, I also read. I have a simple to make my dream come true" said Laila.
"His favor? Where do you have money?" ask the Beautiful Mom.
"Did you forget that you gave me money every month?" ask Laila.
Beautiful Mom laughed. The money given by Bu Indah has been collected by Laila. Some were sent to his nephew. How much savings can Laila make until graduation?
"Tokos mom laughing anyway? I'm serious Mom," said Laila.
"How much money are you cuddling with? How much money do you think the cake shop is?" asked Beautiful Bu while shaking her head.
"Mom, the money that my mother loves me every month can be used as capital. Make the shop, I can have an online store. Snacking first a lot of money just opened a large store in a crowded area," said Laila.
Beautiful Mom looked at Laila. What Laila thought was not wrong. Actually the wrong thing is only their understanding of Laila's dream. For Bu Indah, Laila's dream of opening a cake shop is a big and famous store. Where the cake is sold to the upper middle class. Where the condition will make Laila a business woman like herself.
"La, this is Jakarta. If you only sell cakes online at that price, enough for what? I want you again, this is Jakarta. Everything needs money" said Bu Indah.
Sorry La, I have to do this. I was just afraid something unwanted would happen. But I promise I will help make your biggest dream come true.
Laila fell silent. Yes said Mrs Beautiful. Because all this time he only lived with Bu Indah, he did not know how much the cost per month he had to spend. Rent a house, electricity, water, maybe online business for beginners will not meet their daily needs.
"Udah until. A very good school!" said Mrs Beautiful.
"Yes ma'am" said Laila.
Don't forget Laila kissed Mom's hand Beautiful. The habit that Laila has been using since meeting good women who have replaced the role of Bu Rini for almost two years.
After Laila got off in front of the school, the car drove back. Bu Herlin's house became the destination of Bu Indah at this time. They have made a deal before. Until the time Bu Indah went there, Ms. Herlin had prepared a banquet for the arrival of her best friend.
"Sorry late, yes" said Ms. Beautiful.
"Ah, not really. Just relax. We don't want business, do we? It's just a friendly meeting. We're gathering to discuss the future of the good boy, Laila." Herlin's mother confirmed their meeting that morning.
Yes, it is true said Ms. Herlin. They met just to discuss Laila's future. Though they both know that Laila is a nobody and there is no previous relationship with them. But Laila's sincerity and always what is makes them feel care for the second grade SMK teenager.
Just like Laila, Ms. Herlin was quite surprised by the short message she received this morning. Even though just last night Bu Indah apologized for not being able to allow Laila to cooperate with Ms. Herlin.
"My son called me last night. He came again after leaving for a long time," replied Ms. Beautiful.
Instantly things became quiet. My kid? Anak Bu Indah is only one and it has been gone for a long time. Yes, Ms. Herlin understands why Ms. Lovely changed all her plans.
"Don't worry. Your son's coming back doesn't mean you're gonna lose Laila. I'm here" said Ms. Herlin.
Ms. Herlin reassured Ms. Lovely that if one day Bu Indah's child returns and does not accept the presence of Laila in the house, then Laila will be safe with her. Without intending to take Laila from the Beautiful Bu, Ms. Herlin will only help Laila make her dream come true. Ms. Herlin also reminded and reassured Ms. Lovely, if Laila was not a child who could easily forget the kindness of people. Moreover, Bu Indah has done many things for Laila.
"It's not about nominal and financial, I'm just afraid of losing Laila's sincere affection. I am also afraid of losing Laila who always makes happy every time we talk," said Ms. Indah.
Ms. Herlin immediately hugged Beautiful Mom. Trying to calm Ms. Beautiful from all the fears that exist. Bu Indah was very expecting the return of his son to the house. Even Bu Indah had tried to let go of her son's choice even though it was very painful for her. But the togetherness of Bu Indah with Laila two years is too memorable if it should be ended just like that.
Ms. Herlin understood very well what Bu Indah meant without having to explain in detail. What is the financial and nominal meaning for women who are already well-off like Bu Indah. What Bu Indah needs is friends and sincerity. And all that can be given by Laila.
"Don't think too badly. Who knows your son can accept the presence of Laila," said Ms. Herlin.
Beautiful Mom smiled. It was a hope and it seemed like it would only be a hope. He knows the character of his son. The greatest possibility is disappointment. His son will think if all this time Bu Indah did not look for him. Worse, Bu Indah will be accused of instead looking for a replacement rather than looking for and persuading him to return.
Ah, those bad thoughts have filled his headroom since last night. Ever since her son told her, everything has changed. Messed up. Not like the plan. Even the Beautiful Bu was confused by her own feelings. Why can't she be happy when her son tries to call her back?
"When's he coming back?" ask Ms. Herlin.
Beautiful Mom shook her head. Yes, the boy did not give any news if he would come back. Because when contacting him, all his son did was ask for some money to survive. That'sthat's all. And maybe it is also what makes Bu Indah feel unhappy when his son comes back into his life.
"It doesn't mean he's going back to your house, does it?" said Ms. Herlin.
Yes, his son did not give certainty of his return to the house. But when I found out if Laila lived in the house, it was certain that her son would return. And Laila? That is the concern of Bu Indah at this time.
"You just calm down. I told you the same, right? I was right here. I'll take care of Laila without taking it from you. He's still Laila, your son. You can go back to live with your child, but you can also freely visit Laila whenever you want. You will be happier in my opinion" said Ms. Herlin.
"Thank you, yes" said Ms. Indah.
Happier? Maybe I'll go abroad. Come with her husband and leave everything she has in Indonesia. Letting everything be managed by her son with her husband. The man who has the status of being his son-in-law, as well as being his former lover.
That's what makes Bu Indah provide opportunities for Laila's cooperation with Ms. Herlin. Of course there will be money saved by Bu Indah for Laila's capital there. That way, Laila will be safe. His dream can be realized without fear of being disturbed by his son.
"You don't get too parno. It hasn't happened yet. All your fears are excessive" said Ms. Herlin calmed down.
You don't know the real story, Lin. You don't know who my son-in-law really is? Even if my son could accept Laila in my house, but I could not accept the presence of the man to stay in my house.
After being satisfied enough, Ms. Indah said goodbye to go home. Ms. Indah also did not forget to remind Ms. Herlin to pick up Laila. Herlin's mother had to take Laila to see the long-closed cake shop.
"But never burden Laila the same all these stories yes," said Bu Indah.
Ms. Herlin nodded. He promised to cover up all the stories. He also made sure that Laila would never change. Laila's affection will remain sincere and great for Ms. Indah.
"Do you believe me?" ask Ms. Herlin.
"I believe. Titip Laila if someday my fear becomes reality yes," said Ms. Beautiful.
"Udah don't mind much. Laila will still love you. He's your son no matter what happens" said Ms. Herlin.
Bu Indah was happy when she was able to introduce Laila to the right person. He was convinced that, with Herlin, Laila would grow up to be a much better person. Achieve all his dreams and become a successful person. Always that's what Bu Indah hopes for Laila.
