"What do you mean, Van?" Ms. Ummu looked confused by the short words from her daughter-in-law.
Givan recalls, if Canda was born from Ummu's mother. It's certain that Ummmu's mom isn't much different from Canda.
"Hm.... Gini, Mum. Ria was willing to be betrothed, the same widower with one child. Continues..," he said hanging because Ummu's mother pruned him.
"It's a blessing, if your friend must be good, right?"
Givan took a breath. It's always not what he wants, if he wants to talk to his mother-in-law. Because her mother-in-law preferred to cut her speech, not listen to it first until it was over.
"The problem is, I don't think he's a good person." Givan made it clear at the beginning.
Bu Ummu immediately fell silent, his face look like he was thinking hard. "Who is he?" tanyanya.
"He's.... Bang Ken's." Givan began to understand, if talking to his mother-in-law must be a piece.
"Kenandra's? Mamah Dinda's son?" Mom's eyes bloomed perfectly as if in disbelief.
Givan nodded quickly. "His adopted son was Mamah Dinda, his son Umi Sukma and abi Haris. Abi Haris lives in Cirebon, Mom."
"Yes, her?" Mom Umm like you can't believe it.
Givan nodded quickly with an answer.
"Are you old, Van? He's old, young Ria, what if the man dies first?"
"Mommy doesn't matter if she has one baby, but what I'm worried about is age" explained Ummu's mother by playing her fingers nervously.
"Mother's husband, Ria's father, he died at what age?" Not yet said clearly, but Ummu's mother immediately understood where their conversation was going.
Ummmu immediately thought, someone's age is a mystery. Her husband who looks handsome and young just taken his life unexpected, because of a mild illness alone. He also remembered the late Kinasyah who died at a young age, due to ingesting quite a lot of drugs. Plus, her father Ceysa, Canda's ex-husband, died from complications following appendectomy. Kinasyah and Nalendra died at a young age, at the age of thirty.
"I'm not supportive, I'm banning them" Givan explained later.
Ummu's mother straightened her eyes on Givan. "Who? Wh why? Why prohibited?"
"Because I know that man's character, ma'am. I understand all the vices of men and their deceit, I do not claim to be holy and better than him. But, I changed for Mom's son. I changed for Mother's grandchildren, for myself and for my parents and the people around me. Even though I'm married, I'm sure my parents and the closest people I have come to think that I keep acting out. Not to mention, they will be bothered when I get the consequences of my own actions. My parents and closest friends thought, What about my own wife? Surely she will be stressed because her husband acted and fussed on her. I don't want to be known as ugly as my children, I don't want my children to know my ugliness. Minimizing that, what way? Yes, the way I do not do bad anymore, the way I became a good example and role model for them. Not that I'm bragging, keep talking that this Ken bang is so bad. But as far as I know, this is just for information to Mother alone, not only do I want to be ugly, but he has not changed. Plus the widower, he's feeling freer. Plus, his character. You understand, right, that character can't be changed? Everyone can accept the character of his partner, my cake and Canda. But, it is with our record that the character of this bad lot should be able to restrain himself. We must be able to organize and manage this character that seems less good. Our partner can adapt to our character, but it is too painful if one of them just wants to be understood, Mom. I've been patient, stoic ngadepin Canda. Canda can't keep going, he can't test my patience. He should fix himself too, who in case do not provoke my patience continue. If only one of them is willing to adapt, there will automatically be someone who feels like giving up because he always has to give up. Well, bang Ken can't be? I don't think so, because of all the problems he felt obliged to win. So easily, this ex-wife is so easy to care for him. In fact, until now her birth mother Bunga did not marry again. Which means, the urge she gave to her husband was not because of a third person, but because of her own will. I learned this from my own story, Mom. Canda why is it so easy for me? Because there are other men out there who accidentally met Canda whose heart condition is down again. I know, too, that the man told Canda to come back to me. But because of the state of Canda who felt most hurt at that time, make him so pity and want to help Canda to toward divorcing me. Her birth mother Bunga has no other male, I have her number and we are in frequent communication for stories about her child's growth here. There, he was even traumatized to marry again, to know men again, because of bad experiences obtained from his household with bang Ken. He doesn't open much, but if asked he will answer. I know, not all women are good morals, depending on how the tempaan obtained from the past. But, as far as I can tell, their divorce happened because of Ken's own bang. If bang Ken did not play with fire, his birth mother Bunga would not be as brave as her husband. Dating for years, he was able to survive the same bang Ken. He was so tired, so tired as he was. Because what? Because from a young age he hasn't changed, ma'am." Givan lowered his tone at the end.
He regulated his breathing, he was unusually quick and numerous.
Ms. Ummmu was silent, she was still listening with her personal understanding. He thought that his son-in-law knew everything better. Even his son-in-law's words, there's a point too. He refers to his condition when he was hurt by his biological father Canda first.
"Mom believes in you, Van. You know better what's best for your sister-in-law, if you know what her man is. You're a man, you know more about how men are. Your blessing, Mother's blessing too. I also have bad experiences about men, I don't want my kids to worry about the same thing. I want my children to be happy with their home. Don't let, Mother's children must be a lot of sick in the household. If you think Ken's not good for Ria, yes it's not okay either. How good is this for them, what is the way out? You also advise your sister-in-law, because you know that Ria to Mom herself is a lot of nagging."
Givan nodded, he smiled faintly having the support of his mother-in-law. It was not that he wanted to separate them, but he did not want Ria to get hurt any deeper. He did not want, his sister-in-law became a victim of Kenandra.
