The mother and son's dinner was ruined already, the two of them both had no appetite to continue this messy dinner. All because of the mother who was too over-thinking, Pipit was afraid that her son deliberately hid the fact about his ex-husband who was near the child.

Fortunately all was resolved without taking a long time, Laura said that she did not care and indeed they did not have to pay attention to the ugly man.

To save a messy dinner, the mother proposes to enjoy some evening snacks on the balcony. Of course, do not miss a drink that is warm enough for a slightly cold day like tonight.

"It looks like it's going to rain" whispered Pipit staring at the sky that looked very dark.

"What, ma?" ask Laura. "Laura is not too horrified" continued the girl.

"It's nothing, it's just it looks like it's going to rain soon" Pipit chimed in.

Laura nodded slowly. "Looks like that, there's not a single star in the sky," said Laura looking at the vast, pitch-black sky without a single sprinkling of stars up there.

"Should we move?" pipit asked the opinion of the child.

"No need, ma. It's fresher here" Laura said honestly.

"But it will be very cold if the rain suddenly wails," said Pipit afraid that his son why because he was too exposed to the night wind.

"If it's raining, then we move," said Laura in a flat tone.

Peeked speechless, this is his fault. He was too loud, he made his son like an expressionless robot at all. "What have I done, Lord," Pipit sighed.

"Mama why?" laura asked her mother. She was anxious, she was worried, her mother suddenly sighed so tired like just now. "If mama is tired, we just cancel, ma," said Laura understanding although still very flat tone sounded.

"I'm sorry, I'm wrong!" pipit hugged the child for the first time.

"Yes?" Laura was so shocked that she didn't know what to react to. His eyes bulged with a hint of shock, only this time the mother hugged him. I don't know when was the last time the two of them hugged like now. Laura wasn't even sure if they'd done something like that before.

"Ma, mama's fine, right?" asked Laura who would not want to feel anxious about her mother's condition.

"Sorry, sorry baby! Sorry for being so hard. My mother will change, little by little. Mama can change, right?" Pipit sobbed, remembering how many cruel words he had spoken to his son. How many whip words did he utter, and how much weight did he place on the shoulders of this little girl.

"Ma, why's mom?" asked Laura who never got an answer. "Is mom sick?" ask the girl again. "Let's go in if mama's not feeling well anymore," the girl continued, patting her mother's back, crying sobbing.

"This is all right for Laura, so right mom needs to feel guilty" Laura replied understandingly.

"No, hon. Mama shouldn't care about people's opinions. Mama should be more attentive, instead of asking you to study and learn," said Laura, who seems very sorry.

"We're on vacation this week! We're shopping! Eat outside, play to the fullest, forget about assignments and lessons!" continued Pipit who intends to make up for the mistakes he has done so far.

"But, ma. There's a Monday replay. It's impossible if I don't learn" said Laura, who is used to filling her day with as much learning as possible.

"Forget it, after all your grades will still be good. Who cares if it comes down a little? We're going for a walk anyway!" tukas Pipit really wants to spend time with his son, they have long not been out both.

Laura nodded under her mother's expectant gaze, as usual, she could not resist the mother's wishes. "Let's do as you want" the girl agreed.

Behind the door, several servants who were about to enter delivered the food and drink that Pipit had asked for earlier, wept in tears. They were grateful, their mistress finally softened. In the future, they wished they could see their lady's smile wider. Not just a thin line that stops for a moment.

Sunday came quickly, Laura was ready with the clothes chosen by the mother. Precisely, Pipit gave a box of gifts in which there is a set of beautiful clothes for his son to use on their first date. Yeah, dating. Pipit said that the two of them were going on dates and spent a happy time for a few hours later. Forget everything, just laugh and do whatever they want.

Pipit also frees his son to buy whatever Laura wants. If there is something Laura likes, the girl can tell the mother or just put it in the shopping cart.

"Where are we really going, ma?" asked Laura who looked very cute dressed in her mother's choice.

"Secret!" kekeh Pipit joked. "That beautiful date was a date filled with secrecy, my dear!" pipit teased his son.

Laura was silent, she no longer asked or responded. "Huh, okay, okay. Mama will say it!" pipit said surrender. "We'll find a place to eat first. After that shop, watch a movie in the cinema, then go around. Enjoy the afternoon with a variety of street food, said the mama's men must do. Then dinner at a restaurant that is arguably luxurious. Or do you have a place you want to go, baby?"

"We can go there if you want!"

Laura shook her head slowly. "Do as you've planned, Laura likes it" said the boy, who used to follow her mother's will.

Pipit stared sadly at the child, he was wrong, so he had to fix this all. It was originally Jamal's fault that made him stress and ended up being tough on the child. But the rest is his own fault, he who continues to be authoritarian, he who demands a lot, he is also never satisfied with whatever his son gets. Though he could have closed his eyes and ears, no matter what people think of them both. But Pipit vented all on Laura, making her son burdened with many demands.
