Tonight Naima tells her two sons and Aurora to have dinner together. After a long time never having dinner together, tonight they finally have dinner like a family.
All seemed to focus on the food on their plates, including Hendrik. This man is very different now. No longer steal a look at Aurora or spread the charm.
What was in Hendrik's mind right now was curiosity. Hendrik had no idea what happened this afternoon when his mother met Sumi.
"Mama wants an important talk with the three of you" Naima said after they finished dinner.
"Did mom want to talk about Miti? But why would you want to talk to the three of us?"inner Hendrik wondered.
Aurora scrunched her forehead. What was it that her mother-in-law wanted to talk to the three of them.
While Rayyan became worried if her mother would talk about Sumi. Rayyan was afraid that her mother would say things that would make Aurora feel offended.
"What do you want to talk to us about?"ask Rayyan.
"Mama wants to ask you one by one. First of all, mama wants to ask you, Hen," said Naima staring at Hendrik.
"Ask me, ma!"sahut Hendrik was very curious.
"You said you loved that woman, didn't you?"naima asked, staring fixedly at Hendrik.
"Yes,"sahut Hendrik fast.
"Do you really love him from the heart or love him because of obsession?"
"I mean mama?"asked Hendrik while frowning his forehead.
"You once told your mom that you didn't want to get married. Except Rayyan divorced Aurora. Then you will marry Aurora and you will cease to be a Casanova. You intend to pursue your hobby of becoming a photographer so you can succeed and can support your small family with Aurora later. Is that right, isn't it?"naima asked, looking seriously at Hendrik.
Naima's question made Hendrik hard to swallow his saliva. Because what his mother said made Rayyan look hard at him.
"Haiss..why did you say what I said in front of Rayyan, anyway?! Now Rayyan looks at me like he's going to kill me" Hendrik grumbled in his heart.
"It's been a long time, ma. Why did Mom bring it up again? I used to be curious about Aurora. But it's just curious, ma'am," said Hendrik defending himself. Although it is true that Hendrik used to have such intentions. At that time, Hendrik was very interested in Aurora.
"OKAY. You used to be very curious about Aurora. Now, you intend to marry Miti. Do you want to marry her because her face is similar to Aurora? Are you obsessed with Aurora?"ask Naima again.
"Ma, I was originally interested in Miti because her face was similar to Aurora's. But after I had a few conversations with him and found out his profile, I became more and more interested in him, ma. Different from my interest in Aurora. I'm just physically attracted to Aurora. Just that, ma. We never even talked to each other. We are like strangers who never say hello, let alone talk. While Miti and I, although we have not known each other for a long time, I feel very comfortable when talking to him. I can say my heart without fear that Miti will mock or insult me. We were both frank when we talked, without covering up our feelings. That's why, I felt comfortable with him and ended up falling in love with him, ma," explained Hendrik at length and honestly.
"Your explanation sounds reasonable. Mama's not so sure anymore if you're obsessed with Aurora. But, why do you have to marry a former night butterfly, Hen?"naima asked a rough breath.
Aurora lowered her face hearing Naima's question. Because it is undeniable, even though it is a self-styled, he is also a former night butterfly. Rayyan turned to Aurora, then gently grasped Aurora's hand. Aurora turned to Rayyan who was smiling warmly at her. It calms Aurora.
"That's not the case, Hen. As a mother, it is natural, not if you want the best for you? Mama just wants you to marry a nice woman, Hen. Is my mother's wish wrong? Mama can find a good girl for you,"
"Love is a matter of the heart, ma. And we can't manage, let alone force the heart to love someone. And my heart already loves Miti, "sahut Hendrik who doesn't know how else to persuade his mother to bless his relationship with Miti.
"Bullshitin.! (Omong empty) Know what you are about love? Your love is like a season. Always fickle, "lips Naima.
"Already, ma! If you don't agree that I'm married to Miti, then I won't be married for the rest of my life. Maybe you'd rather I be a Cassano than I marry a former night butterfly. I will not persuade or plead with my mother anymore. It's been hard for me to make her want to marry me. Then her reason for rejecting me would be even stronger if mama did not approve of our relationship. I can't be like Rayyan who can protect her loved ones. Because I'm not as smart and powerful as Rayyan. Mama could've blessed me and then secretly got rid of my wife later. Like the mother who tried desperately to get rid of Aurora," said Hendrik then moved from his seat.
There was disappointment and despair on the man's face. This time he was motivated to change. But in fact, it does not get the support of women who have conceived, cared for and raised him. Henry was reluctant to argue with his mother again.
"Where are you going?"ask Naima. But Hendrik did not turn his head at all, let alone stop to answer his mother's question. Continuing to step away from the place brought his disappointment.
"Did Brother Hendrik really love Sumi? She looked very disappointed and desperate because mama did not approve of her relationship with Sumi," Aurora muttered inwardly.
Naima could only let out a long sigh, twitching her own temple. Looked at his son who was walking away.
"Is that just his determination? Is that the only fight?"naima muttered which could still be heard by Rayyan and Aurora.
"What do you mean by that mother's words? Did you just want to test my sister? Do you have any intention of blessing your sister to marry Sumi?"rayyan looked serious.
"Your mother does not repeat the same mistake. You're correct. The happiness of your children is more important than the speech of others. If your sister is really serious about changing and not just obsessing over that woman named Miti, you have no choice but to agree. Mama does not want if later mama's day is blamed and used as an excuse for your unhappiness,"sahut Naima resigned.
"Thank God then,"so Rayyan felt relieved. Same with Aurora.
"But mama has conditions" said Naima suddenly.
"Condition? What condition?" ask Rayyan.
"Tell your sister, you'll bless her for marrying that woman if your sister manages to make that woman love her. Mama does not want the woman is willing to marry your sister just because of the sense of forced. Threatened by your brother. How will your brother be happy, if he marries a woman who doesn't love him?"
"okkey. I'm gonna tell brother, "sahut Rayyan.
"But there's more you want to ask me. Especially to you, Ra. Who exactly is Miti? Why does her face look so similar to yours?"
