Lativa suddenly felt bad because from earlier his brother did not open the door. The 16-year-old returned to the kitchen to help her mother prepare dinner.
"Who's Tiv? Your brother?" ask the mother.
"Maybe, Mum. Tiva also thinks big brother. You know, in the living room, there were my sister's shoes. Don't know if it's just been released or not. Just want to be used with him." Lativa shrugged his shoulders while sitting on a chair. "Oh yes, sister Nila was saying no to Mom if she wanted to go?" tanyanya.
"There's no. My mom from after she came from the office hasn't seen again. Isn't your brother still in the room?" As if Nila's mother had said nothing. Because usually the eldest child always said from the morning if you want to go out of the house.
"Well that's Mom ... Tiva had seen sister Nila out of the room. Neat Ma'am! Dress the same make up. He doesn't usually. He said he wanted to go with the guy" Lativa said honestly.
"It's natural, maybe your brother wants to go to the event with Bayu," said the mother thinking positively. Since Nila was 25 years old, she wanted to see Nila get married. It's been 26 years, not yet. Nevertheless, he could not force his eldest son.
"It could be Mom." Lativa finally kept quiet and did not continue his conversation again. Because soon his father came home from work and they had dinner together, except for Nila.

After dinner, the father decided to rest in the room and Lativa returned to his room to study for the next semester. While the mother with a tray containing a plate of rice along with side dishes and drinking water went to Nila's room. The mother was worried about Nila's stomach acid from not eating dinner.
Tok Tok Tok!
"Come on, open the door, son. It's Mom."
A few seconds passed, there was no reply from Nila yet.
"Nilah ... " The bedroom door slowly opened as the mother was about to knock on it again.
Nila's face looked down with already messy hair. Just like people who are frustrated and depressed. As if there was no hope of life anymore.
"Why don't you have dinner?" ask the mother to be gentle. But Nila just shook her head. "This is the mother bringing her food" said her mother, thrusting the tray in front of her youngest child.
Nila's face was raised, "Nila is not a laper, ma'am."
"Well!" Mom was surprised by her appearance. "Jeez, why are you? Something happened to you? Didn't Tiva say that you wanted to go with Bayu?" his mother looked very worried.
She was getting harder to answer. His eyes have been glazed from when. His gaze also looks empty, because he does not want his story with Bayu to end without a definite answer.
The mother followed him from behind and closed the door to his room. "Nila, same story Mom. You why?" The mother put a tray on the table in Nila's room.
Nila's heart was getting sliced. He remembered the words that Bayu had spoken a moment ago. "Wood, Mom ... " His lips are shaking. Her tears were shed again.
"Well why, son? He hurt you? Or what?" his mother was curious. For which mother does not feel sad when she sees her child's state of chaos like this?
"Wish to marry someone else." Nila's cry broke back. This time his face was just slouching. Nila cried until she was touched. He was upset, sad, angry, all became one.
"God. You know where it came from? Have you not been with Bayu for a long time? How could he marry someone else?" Her mother's soft hands repeatedly rubbed Nila's back in order to gain a calmness.
Meanwhile, Nila simply shook her head and continued to cry until she was shocked. His mother was so sad to see his eldest son crying sounded so bitter.
"If Bayu had said from the beginning, Nila wouldn't have waited for him all this time, Mom. Eight years Nila was with him, Nila did not know that Bayu could have another dream woman behind Nila, Mom."
"Patience, Son. Maybe with God giving a test like this, so you can realize that Bayu is indeed not your soul mate. It could be that your soul mate is someone else who is certainly much better than Bayu ... " Nila fell silent to the advice of her mother. "Indeed all this time Bayu is very good with our family. But, change someone who knows? Even himself does not know what his destiny after this will be like .. " continued the mother sighing.
The woman let a moment so that Nila could vent her sorrow. However he did not let it go for too long for fear that Nila became exhausted and fell ill.
"But Ma'am ... Nila was still wondering what kind of woman she was!" refute Nila who still does not accept.
"Crazy, listen to Mom! There are many men in this world. Not just Bayu. If you still insist on wanting him, remember your pride, son. I've never taught you to be a boy who begs for love with men. As women, we should be able to take revenge in a positive way."
Nila furrowed her brows, feeling not yet understood what was said at the end of the sentence by her mother. "Revenge in a positive way?" tanyanya and her mother nodded their heads while smiling. "How, Mom?"
"Sign me to him, if your heartache can be paid for with success in your career."
Nila took a deep breath. Her mother's words were like a shield that made her sad instantly disappear.
"But ... What good is it, Mom? Nila has savings, but not much." After hearing the mother's words, suddenly Nila was terbesit want to become an entrepreneur.
"What if we make a shop? Yes ... It doesn't have to be big first. Let's start small."
"Example Ma?"
"We can make healthy drinks, such as fruit juice, fruit soup, mixed ice but in packaging and excellence we make fresh alias impromptu. Continue to matter of promotion and sales we can hand over to Lativa, your sister will have high self-confidence talent. Or you yourself can also promote in the office."
"Keep making him who's Ma'am?"
"Later Mother made it. You sit so sweet."
"Loh ma can't do that. All this time Nila's been working for Mom and Dad. Mom has to work hard now. No, no. Nila disagrees!"
"But Nila ... "
"Sir, Mum. After all, there will soon be a promotion of positions, which can continue to have to move to a branch company. Because reportedly there will be a new CEO who will take office there and need guidance as well," explained Nila remained adamant did not want to make her mother become exhausted.
For Nila, building a business from absolutely zero is not as easy as when it looks successful. In general, every business must want to be big and have a name in order to spread the wings of success. Later it also not only has employees one to two people, but it could be thousands.
The mother could say nothing more. He also understood that his eldest son was currently not in a good state. It feels very cruel if you continue to urge Nila to keep opening the business according to her proposal.
"Well, don't forget to eat your dinner! I want to see your father first, he says he's not feeling well again asking to be scratched," said his mother as she moved from her seat.
"Yes, Mom." However, Nila must appreciate her mother's efforts to make dinner. Finally little by little he ate it even though he still sobbed
But when he arrived in front of the room, there was Lativa who was standing right beside the door. "Kilah why Mom?" tanyakanya.
"Regular, matters of the heart" replied the mother. Lativa did not believe it just like that.
"What is the heart, Mom? What's the reason for not being the same guy?" cecar Lativa was very curious.
"Business ... " The mother growled while rounding her eyes. That certainly makes Lativa silent a thousand languages. "Not ask much. Didn't you say you wanted to learn? Why is it here?" ask mother.
"Hehehe ... " Lativa instead laughed while scratching his head that did not itch. "Tiva wants to ask Mom for money to buy stationery. Tiva does not want if you have not bought a red pen tell the teacher."
"Oh, I guess why. Yes, you have been waiting here. I'm gonna get the money in the room first."
"Yes, Mom."
Shortly after her mother left, Lativa was actually still curious about her brother's current state. But just about to step foot into Nila's room, his mother was already behind him.
"This is Tiv's money" said the mother, giving a twenty-thousand note to Lativa.
"Thank you, Mom!" After getting the money, Lativa immediately rushed out of the house to go to the stationery shop not far from his home complex.
