Rara's first impression of meeting Juwita was far different from the impression she thought. Hearing she is a woman of five children, plus three stepchildren and rumored to be having an affair with her eldest son, Rara thinks she is a naughty aunt-faced and looks to have a thousand experiences.
But the woman Rara met was a mature woman, soft-faced, and had warm-looking eyes.
"You Ranaya?" As soon as he asked. "Sit down."
Rara sat down on the sofa opposite the woman, trying not to show that she was nervous and honestly lacking confidence.
"I wonder if you want to see me" Juwita said calmly but looked rather intimidating.
"Abimanyu asked me to meet Auntie." Rara tried to make her speech sound natural. "He said our relationship's blessing was in Aunt's hands."
Of course it's a lie.
"Don't you say you have nothing to do with Abhimanyu?"
"Social media is where we lie and become the ideal figure of everyone. I couldn't possibly lose my parents by telling me I was actually cheating on people's husbands."
"So that means you're an Abhimanyu's affair." Juwita still looks solid. "And you're proud of that?"
Rara has to be very careful here. If he gets the wrong answer then this woman will see him as a troubled woman and is no different from Sakura.
"There was a time when Abhimanyu cried alone."
Juwita seemed to blink immediately.
"He doesn't know I'm behind him. Of all the things he could say, I only heard one word." Rara looked into the woman's eyes. "One name."
Abhimanyu's stepmother seemed stiffened.
"Jewith."
The woman suddenly looked grim.
"That was the beginning of my relationship with Abhimanyu."
Juwita was silent looking at her own hands but back she looked at Rara. "What's he telling me about?"
"Not much. Auntie's son doesn't like a lot of shit." Rara feels a bit better now. "But if you say he's the most chatty when you've talked about Auntie."
"I?"
"He said people said he was a favorite kid, but he didn't think he was. Abhimanyu also said that he has made a lot of difficult Aunty, has too often made Aunty cry, but he still feels there is no service he has for Aunty."
All of that was just Rara's book. Although he took it from various conversations between Abhimanyu.
"She's most guilty of herself because of Sakura." Rara wrinkled grimly. "She said it was her fault that Sakura hated Auntie."
Juwita smiles. "The adult is making his own mistakes" the woman murmured. "Even if we are influenced by others, because we are responsible."
"...."
"Who do you think is the wrong Sakura?"
This is a test from his stepmother Abhimanyu. Rara argues that if she answers this question wrong, then her blessing may not be obtained. But to be honest, Rara does not know what the right answer is.
Alright. Let's answer what it is.
"Nobody has no faults." Rara squeezed her own hand and looked at Juwita's eyes again. "Even stupidity can be a mistake. We are too stupid so we are deceived, even if we are victims, our stupidity is also a mistake."
"...."
"Tante must also have a mistake until Sakura nuduh Aunty is wrong. Maybe it's because Aunt 'silence' is the same condition she is, Sakura becomes more chaotic and does not want it to make Aunt wrong."
"...."
"But Aunt said we can only bear our mistakes. Just because Aunty contributes to the problems of Sakura's life with Abhimanyu, it does not mean that Aunt must take full responsibility. Just because Abhimanyu is not fully responsible for his marriage does not mean he has to bear all the faults of Sakura. And Sakura is the same."
"...."
Juwita suddenly smiled very shady until Rara's heart pounded over it.
"Sakura was also a victim" the woman said. "My responsibility is that they marry even if I don't think it's a healthy marriage. On my way to the wedding, I was able to imagine Abhimanyu divorced with Sakura."
Rara held her breath.
"But I agree with you. I'm not protracted in error. I want to go back to Sakura's house and feel ashamed and talk to people. Abhimanyu doesn't want to."
Juwita. "So that's also my responsibility is done. Even though I still feel guilty."
"...."
"Now it's all Sakura's business with Abhimanyu. Although my name was taken again, I was out of hand. They both want to drag on. I can't because my son seven needs to be taken care of all."
Juwita stretched out her hand until Rara spontaneously accepted it.
"If Abhimanyu wants to get married again, whether divorced or polygamous, say that we and our family are happy to come."
Ah, so this means blessing?
Rara heaved a sigh of relief at being able to finish the task well. Abhimanyu had to buy food.

After meeting Juwita, Rara went straight to her appointment with Mahen. Rara did not contact Abhimanyu first because it is better to discuss the contents of this meeting directly.
There is also something Rara wants to say about Mahen to Abhimanyu. The thing that Rara had been thinking since she was told by Mama to get married.
"Would you like to eat first or have we bought a gift?"
"Eat first." Rara felt a bit hungry after talking heavy things with her mother Abhimanyu.
"okay." Mahen agreed and they rushed towards the restaurant. "Beef teriyaki here is my family favorite. You must try" said the man upon arrival at his chosen place.
Rara nodded, only wanting to eat because she was really hungry. They got out of the car, walked into the restaurant. Mahen pre-orders the menu before they look for a seat.
But when all the orders have been written, the payment is made, Rara finds something that is beyond expectations.
"Anamazole?"
The man sat in one of the restaurant chairs, faced with a fashionable beautiful woman who was wrapped around her wrist in a branded watch. The girl seemed to be busy talking and Abhimanyu just silently heard it.
Is that his real affair? The love of all the love he has?
"Rara, what are you seeing?" Mahen patted Rara on the back.
The girl hurriedly turned away. "No. There's no."
May Mahen not be aware of Abhimanyu because Rara is lazy to talk about him. But that guy isn't he busy? He said he was busy, but apparently had time to eat with his other side.
I should have been ugly in front of Aunt Juwita, thought Rara. Much more mending Sakura's brain than her macem guy.
"We sit on top, Mahen."
"Jude."
On the other hand, Abhimanyu and Olivia are busy talking about the women of the night who are missing in some big clubs. Olivia as the eyes of Abhimanyu in the company of women also told the information that he knew.
But accidentally Olivia sees Rara climb the stairs.
"That's not your cheating?" Olivia hung out there.
Make Abhimanyu turn away.
