"Only a mother can understand what her children are like."
...****...
Echa tidied up the clothes her husband was wearing. The Panji hand twists the Echa waist tighter. Echa just shook her head. Seeing her husband's demeanor more bucolic than usual. Either he has not dared to interpret whether Panji's attitude. Is it bucin or just a concern because she is pregnant.
"Cha, if you really want to enter the office at Atik's friend ya. Or if you want to come along is also okay. But remember that through lunch you have to go home. Pregnant women should not be tired. If there is an unfinished task entrust with Sasha." said Panji.
Echa just stared unblinkingly at Panji. Her husband is still in fast fashion. Doesn't she have to be professional, without having to be remembered as the wife of the superior. Echa does not want to be later on the stamp of mumpung aji with his office friends.
"And if there will be a protest if you work home quickly. Have him face me." still in ultimatum mode.
"Mas, I don't have a problem either. Don't play like that, Lah. Later his wife is gone, well my husband is neat. I'm not going to the office today, Mom. Just want to be home, don't know what it's like to be lazy anywhere."
"Good job, that's Panji's favorite wife." The pennant flicked Echa's nose. Put a kiss on his wife's forehead.
Echa and Panji came out of the room holding hands.
"Gee, the mother's daughter and daughter seem to be very happy. I'm glad you guys are like this. Let's go get us breakfast first." Ms. Laksmi led Echa to sit on the chair. Followed by Panji.
"Mom, which Atik?take her to eat together." said Echa as she leaned the rice into the Panji dish. The side dishes also look appetizing. Like sambal balado eggs, fried chicken, stir-fried vegetables, all have been prepared the same Bu Laksmi since waking up at dawn. Of course Echa and Atik are also involved although not much.
"It was to the bathroom. Nature calls it. Ji, how's Afan doing?"
"Afan will move to the nicest hospital. But still waiting for the verdict of the trial first. He said the mother who trapped Afan was still in his matchbook. How do I feel someone's trying to hold this case, huh?"
"Whose mother?" ask Mrs Laksmi.
"Mother of his girlfriend Afan. He said Afan drank tea from the mother's gift. Keep coming to his girlfriend's room. It just so happened that they were living in a home owned by Bude Saskia. Then there was the sacrilegious tragedy." Ms. Laksmi just nodded while eating a spoonful of rice plus a piece of egg.
"Honey, yesterday I read the job application file. There was one candidate whose education status was the last of the farm children. Rarely do our companies get applicants who are in line. Most who enter the application of economic children or administrative children. I thought you were."
"What woman is a man?" ask Echa like a probing.
"Women like that anyway? forgot me. So I asked Mia to call the guy for an interview. If he can, he'll replace Sasha as your assistant."
"Mas, you told Atik to accompany me to the office. But you added me an assistant again. Turn me around, Mas. Most of the men I can do all by myself." protested Echa.
"Because you're pregnant, Cha. So I hope you don't have much activity. You should have resigned, but still insist. Now that there is a mother, there is no reason to keep working. Poor mom at home while her son is busy." Cerocos Panji.
Echa just lowered her head. Like a child who is angry. His hands continued to play as if he wanted to throw the weight of his mind.
"Mom, already. Don't be upset by the Echa. She's pregnant. Don't make a lot of thoughts. It will affect the same."
"Ji, when mothers used to not wear such a kayak. If it is wrong, stay in the face. This is also for your good. I just want Echa to be a good wife to you. If Echa's wrong mother is also embarrassed as her parents."
The banner rests on Mrs Laksmi's knee. Convince her mother-in-law that she can educate Echa well.
"Bu insyallah I will educate Echa well. So far Echa has been a good wife to me. Although there are still small dramas in our household. It sweetened our relationship" Panji said.
"Actually I can trust you, Ji. But after a lot of things Echa experienced. Honestly, I doubt you. For example, why Echa can be exposed to broken glass, if you are next to Echa may not happen. Why did Echa meet Riana? That must be out of your sight, right?"
"Because that's what made me come here. After you told me about Riana, I became more and more unsettled. Especially now that Echa is pregnant. You go to the office. Does that guarantee Echa's safety?"
"Sorry, Mom." The pennant just lowered his head.
 Mother is an extraordinary woman for her family and children. A mother will certainly do various ways to make her children happy. A mother's struggle is not easy because she is pregnant, giving birth at the stake of life, caring from childhood from morning until evening, without any sense of complaining at all.
A mother never wants to see her child hurt. Moreover, if he has a daughter who will usually go to live with her husband. Mother will always feel anxious about the situation of her daughter.
The harmony of a person's marriage relationship is greatly influenced by the people around him, if the people around him can give positive affirmations. So the married couple can also run their married life happily and harmoniously.
"Mom, forgive Echa for worrying. Until I have to come here from Jogja. Leaving home."
Madam Laksmi smiled tightly grasping Echa's hand. "From mom to fever think of you. That's why mom came here. I miss you too, son.
If you usually wake up in the morning, you are busy in the kitchen. Not too smart to cook. But now every mother wants to go to the kitchen is not excited. Eat alone, all alone."
Madam Laksmi took a deep breath. It was as if there was a heavy burden.
"You and the Banner are the same, Cha. Mom left your dad for his first love. While Panji she was abandoned by her mother since the age of six months. Because of the talaq letter from her first husband, Adrian Lesmana."
The banner that was still busy eating food suddenly stopped its activities.
"What!" pekik Panji's.
