It had been an hour, Celine and Sanny were engaged in a heated conversation, while Muta and Wirya were still busy discussing about the company. In the lavish living room of the house, Celine talks a lot about the city of Moscow to Sanny. It was not difficult for him to directly familiarize himself with the mother-in-law. In fact, the nervousness that had struck was now completely gone, so fun Celine told every detail of the tourist attractions she visited with Reksa.
“Mother-in-Law,” said Celine to end her long story with a title she can gradually pronounce. “Thank you, because Mom has given me an amazing gift that makes me able to go to a cool country!”
Sanny smiled, then tucked Celine's hair behind her daughter-in-law's own ears. “Mommy has heard that you are crazy about travel and adventure. Yes, anyone must know that your child as energetic you will be in the forefront if the problem of streets.”
Celine smiled shyly. “I myself do not know when exactly, such a hobby suddenly in my head and heart.”
“Celine, I'm happy that you enjoyed that honeymoon with Reksa.” Slowly, Sanny grabbed Celine's fingers and gave her a meaningful grasp. “Thank you for marrying Reksa. I know you must be in trouble. The journey is actually not just a gift for you, but also a way to get you to know each other. It is true, when you were little you have met, but because of the busyness of our family, making you and Mutual can not meet.”
“Honestly, I also forgot when to meet with Reksa. I don't remember at all, Mother. Forgive me ...”
Sanny smiled. “What's making an apology? After all, at that time you were very small, four or five years of age, while Reksa had entered adolescence, wanted to enter Junior High School. Too far away are your age ranges? Hm ... My mom and dad decided to get married young. We were both also arranged. Then, when Mas Wirya was about to build a company, that's when the fateful tragedy befell your father right in front of the eyes of Mas Wirya.”
Celine's heart was stunned as Sanny began to talk about the past. The fact that made Rodian feel so guilty all this time. Celine heard her father often tell her how good a Wirya Utama and her mother who often told her about the fateful tragedy at that time. At first, Celine did not respond too much to their words, because she considered the things that had been long let pass, as long as her family no longer disturbed the peace of the Wirya Utama family.
Now, that story makes Celine feel guilty. Because, Wirya Utama almost lost the opportunity to build a company just to finance all Rodian treatment. It turned out that it was like having a big debt, which made Rodian unable to resist the matchmaking that Wirya offered.
“But, whose name is kindness will surely give you kindness too. Even though it's a little late, your father-in-law is still able to build his company. And gradually, the brand that he introduced to the wider community managed to become a booming brand that was sought after. We both went back to looking for your father and asked him to work as one of the staff at our company,”.
“Be-really? I don't know at all, Mom,” said Celine.
Sanny smiled. “You are still in what grade, I forgot, who definitely did not understand enough about our conversation. At that time, your father and mother refused our offer, even they asked us not to come back home or to the store.”
“Why did Dad do that?”
“Because ... Your father doesn't want to trouble Mas Wirya anymore. He does not want to enter the company with a connection line, while out there there is still a lot of unemployment. Besides, your father definitely knows how much money and other sacrifices Mas Wirya will make. And for the sake of keeping Wirya Utama's good name as a famous new businessman, your father is trying to reduce the encounter. Assume that rich people can not get along with ordinary people, but it does not have to be like that.”
“Oh .. so.” Celine mangosteen. “My father is indeed rather ancient and innocent, Mother.”
“True, Celine, your father is all scared and worried. So different from you. But, despite being banned, Wirya Utama still remains stubborn to come to the tavern to eat. Funny about their friendship. Already like envelopes and stamps that can not be separated, because the busyness of Wirya more and more, finally making them so rarely see again.”
“But, Mom,” says Celine. “Some thing that bothers my heart. About our matchmaking, why should I be the same? While Reksa is a big man, certainly many are eyeing to become his wife. After all, this matchmaking is like breaking my father's wish to continue to keep the good name of Wirya Utama, ‘kan?”
Sanny did not answer. He knew Celine would question this. Actually, there was an answer that he had long compiled. However, for a moment he hesitated, worried if Celine was offended. Especially about the unpleasant rumors about the Mutual that have not been denied. Perhaps, Celine had thought and assumed that the match was only for the sake of protecting Mutual from rumors was not true.
True, Sanny can't deny. However, there are still other reasons that make it and Wirya decided to match their son with a girl from an ordinary family. Moreover, Sanny had been observing Celine for a long time. And despite looking stupid and less graceful like the girls of the celebrities, Sanny still likes Celine. There was something that attracted him to his daughter-in-law.
“You must think that this matchmaking is only to protect Mutual, ‘kan?” guess Sanny.
“This is one of your traits that I love, you are very honest and generous. In addition, you are so energetic and able to give joy to others. Therefore, I hope you can also make Mutual always filled with happiness, Celine.” Sanny sighed, then gradually looked elsewhere. “Reksa it .. does have a bad character, everyone hates it so much. Every time you come to the office to deliver a Mutual lunch, there must always be employees talking about it. But, actually the Mutual was very spoiled and lonely. He had never been good at getting along since he was a child, all that accompanied him were books and Mom. Until the moment where he meets you, for the first time he is willing to smile because of you.”
“Sa-me?” Oh, really, Celine didn't think that Mutual ever had a childhood with her.
Sanny nodded, then she continued her story about the personal life of Reksa since she was a teenager. How very choosy and often said to look at others, and then make people always away from him. However, even so, Reksa never once brazen on his mother, even according to him, Sanny is the only parent and a very valuable friend.
Until one day the romance of a teenager appears, the moment where Reksa began to like girls his age. At that time, he was still in the second grade of High School. Bravely, he invited the girl to get acquainted and meet in person. Call it the Rose, the new child of another class. They ended up dating for ten months. However, ... Mutual must face a reality that makes him really disappointed.
“What does the girl do, Mom?” celine's search began to be curious after hearing the story of Reksa's adolescence that Sanny had just revealed.
“She's an ordinary girl. Maybe mutual first love in adolescence. At that moment, Reksa who had just returned home from school looked grim, making Mother very confused and curious. For three days, he kept silent, until finally he said that the Rose only used it. Roses consider Reksa as a walking wallet that can be drained of money, after all, even though it is very handsome, the character of bad Muta really makes Roses not resistant,” explained Sanny.
“Waaah .. crazy. There are yes people kayak so, it's worth Mutual always .. ah, haha.” Celine scratched her nape and immediately misbehaved, when almost slipped.
Sanny smiled. “Call Reksa Why, Cel?”
“Nothing, Bu.”
“Mom knows even if you don't talk, Cel. I still know more about Mutual than you, because Mom is her first love.”
Celine smiled wryly. “I-iya sih.”
“You want to hide all of Mutual's rude deeds from you? Turns out you're better than I thought, huh?” Sanny rubbed Celine's hair gently. “But, even so I hope you can handle everything, Celine. Although the incident of the Rose has been very long, but still the incident incised deep wounds for Muta, to make him more picky in making friends and looking for a partner. Until the rumors finally circulated, it had already been two years of development. And it's getting hotter this year. Meanwhile, Reksa is still reluctant to find a future wife. I'm sorry, Celine, for involving you. But, honestly, since I liked you a long time ago and sorry, I did observe you for a long time.”
“Nothing, Mom, let all of Celine feel like a diamond hehehe.”
Sanny smiled with relief. “Celine, you can, ‘kan, learn to accept and love Mutual?”
“Men-love?”
Of love? Celine woke up thanks to a question from her mother-in-law. From his own ambition. From the beginning, he only wanted to conquer the heart of Mutual and make the marriage as an adventure event only. He enjoyed it so much, but never once thought about love. While lately he was really confused at the feelings of Mutual who tend to be ambiguous, upset at Mutual who did not also express love to him.
However, had Celine ever thought about her own feelings? Is there such a great feeling of love that he gives to Reksa? I don't know, Celine can't be sure, because her mind was suddenly empty when the questions crossed and fixed on herself.
