CHAPTER 69a


Wife Arjuna 69 a


Ningrum rolling the comb. Tuck fingers fingers dangling the long hair of her youngest daughter to braid.


Euphoria when she was still in elementary school back Anggi feel. Her mother's soft fingers always feel warm when in contact with the scalp. Spreading a sense of peace is also peaceful.


"Your hair has always been soft since the past and now it's getting better. Must be because it's taken care of. Is the treatment expensive?" said Ningrum who was so serious about braiding Anggi's hair.


"really?" anggi's great-grandson with a dikulum smile. "Now, I take better care of her than before because it was Mas Juna who suggested. Simple treatment was enough, but my husband told me to choose the best."


Light laughter broke out. Ningrum smiled widely. "That's a sign that Arjuna loves you very much. He is a fully responsible husband. I feel at ease, this dutiful mother's son is called the right man."


"All thanks do'a Mother. The blessings that I feel and obtain, all can not be separated do'a-do'a that Mother defends to the Almighty is also good advice that does not tire Mother reminds me."


Ningrum ties the ends of Anggi's hair with pigtails. Tidying the children's hair on Anggi's forehead and peeping the cheeks of the youngest child.


"Where's your mother?" ask Ningrum later.


"It seems to go again. The shoes placed on the front shelf are not visible. Don't think about Ma'am Ayu just yet, ma'am. Now just focus on your condition. After all, he is not a child, he should be able to sort out what is good and what is not for him. Mas Juna is trying to find information, whether Ms. Ayu is speaking honestly or just nonsense, about the father of the innocent baby."


Anggi turned his sitting position so faced with his mother.


Ningrum took a deep breath, sounding tired. "Your father must be angry at Mother, for failing to educate Ayu, also for being a parent who continues to trouble her youngest child," Ningrum sighed guiltily.


"No, Ma. Every parent is trying to give their best. What happened to Mbak Ayu is not the fault of Mother, but precisely because she ignored the advice of Mother. And about me, I never feel bothered at all, so I don't think anything."


Anggi and Ningrum's hands clasped him tightly. Staring at her youngest child with shiny eyes.


"Mother felt very sad about the fate of the granddaughter of Mother who was conceived by Ayu. After all, the baby was innocent. For that, I want to ask you one thing," Ningrum said in a hoarse voice.


"What is that, Mom?" Anggi tightened his grip on his mother's hand.


"Mom was really embarrassed. I always burdened you as well as your brother who often trespasses you. But only you can be asked for help about the things that continue to pass in Mom's mind, even though I know, Ayu's actions also tarnish your name, Anggi."


Highlight Anggi's eyes full of seriousness. Ningrum stroked his daughter's cheeks full of pride as well affection. The corner of his eyes is watery, the tears must be bitter for his children.


"You are the best. It always is." Ningrum paused his sentence.


"On the father of the baby conceived by Ayu, Mother had not expected much. I just want to give a message because I'm not sure Ayu can take care of her well. If Ayu's child is born, leave it to the orphanage. I don't want that until that innocent baby is wasted. After all, the baby is the mother's grandson. About Ayu Ibu can only pray, because Mother's condition has not allowed much effort to make her reflect."


"Mom don't think about it too much. After all, Mas Juna and I cannot stand idly by if Mbak Ayu abandons his son. I also always try to remind Mbak Ayu to realize his mistake even though he is always stubborn. Although it's not for us, at least for his son's sake he has to change."


Ningrum shook his head. "Don't, Son. I don't want to keep burdening you endless. I don't want to keep involving you and Arjuna to deal with our family problems. You and Arjuna are enough to take care of Mom wholeheartedly. I doubt Ayu can change. For that, if Ayu abandoned her child, leave it to the orphanage. So that the baby is well cared for but does not interfere with your household. I don't want to, appreciate your marriage being pestered by your brother's mistakes. That's all I'm asking for, 'cause I feel like Mom's time is soon, son."

Pandu's mobile phone rang while he was accompanying Arjuna at an important meeting in a government agency. Pandu pulled away for a moment from the room and picked up the phone.


Apparently it was a lengthy report about Ayu from some of the people who were asked to stalk. Accompanied by photos of Ayu entering the watch shop and entering a hotel while being sent to Pandu's mobile phone.


Pandu went back into the room and the new boss ended the discussion. Pandu immediately approached Juna and showed her phone screen at a glance.


"So, Madam Ayu today went to a luxury watch store?" Juna asked as he set foot towards the parking lot.


"Yes, Sir. And our people told us that Mbak Ayu sold one European luxury watch unit there for 25 million rupiah."


The word Pandu coincides with the Juna device which reads.


"Yes, Honey. Why?" juna said as soon as the green button was shifted.


"Mas, look at my watch? That couple's watch? What's in Mas' briefcase?"


Seriate.
