Duren Mateng's
Chapters 107. Trying to Open Hearts

Bima is playing with Abian. The boy took care of his sister very well. When Abian cried, immediately Bima made a funny face that was able to make Abian laugh. Not to forget also Bima gave milk to his sister with great care.

While Alvira, the woman was busy cleaning up some items scattered in her room. There he was not alone, accompanied by his mother who also helped the child.

"Related, Abian is okay to be left with Bima?" asked Arumi who was worried about her grandson. Anyway, Bima is still a child. It's only natural that Arumi became a little anxious when Alvira just entrusted her son to Bima.

"It's okay, Ma. There was an aunt looking after them. I do not trust fully with Bima. I told my aunt to keep an eye on both of them" Alvira said.

"Hufftt .. mama thought you let Abian along with Bima alone. Although Bima likes to take care of his sister, but Bima is still small. If anything happens, surely you also bother later," explained Arumi.

"No, Ma." Alvira gave her smile. The woman went back to cleaning the bed and tidying it.

Arumi was stunned by the few boxes that were on the table. The woman approached the table, touching the boxes one by one.

"This what?" tanya Arumi lifted one of the boxes on the table.

"It was .. a gift from Arjuna," Alvira chimed in with a slight pause.

"Aryan?" Arumi's forehead creased as she watched the box one by one.

A moment later, the woman covered her mouth with slightly widened eyes, "You mean Juna's son Om Samuel?" asked Arumi again who had just realized the figure intended by his daughter.

Alvira nodded her head, confirming the words that were thrown from her mother's mouth.

"Arjuna ..why does he give you this much stuff, like giving a gift to a girl he likes" said Arumi, who still does not realize that Samuel's son likes his daughter.

One of the letters on top of the box forgot to be discarded by Alvira. Secretly, Arumi took the letter and read every ink that was printed on the blue plain paper. A moment later, Arumi widened her eyes. The woman closed her mouth in disbelief.

"Juna likes you?" arumi asked as if she could not believe what she had just read.

Alvira who had just arranged a pillow on the mattress immediately turned her attention to Arumi. He was quite surprised because there was one of the letters left behind and found by his mother.

But how else. Rice has become porridge. Arumi had read the contents of the letter, seen from the look on the face shown by the woman.

Alvira could only chimed in her mother's words with a soft nod. Justifying what was on Arumi's mind.

"Since when?" ask Arumi again.

"It's been a while, Ma. From college first. Because I'm a stupid woman, I prefer Andre to her" Alvira said.

"So, how? Are you going to reject him a second time?" asked Arumi looking seriously at her daughter.

Alvira fell silent, not knowing what to answer. If this time he refuses again Arjuna's love, then there is a second rejection for the man. However, Alvira is also unlikely to accept Arjuna. Seeing her current status as a one-child widow, Arjuna is still a virgin.

"Hows it? You still want to reject it?" ask Arumi again.

"I don't know, Ma." Alvira exhaled violently.

"Then, give her a second chance" Arumi chirped as she gave her smile.

Alvira stared at her mother.

"What's wrong? Isn't that better. Can't you refuse it a second time? If you look around, Arjuna is also very handsome," said Arumi.

"I can't accept it, Ma. Arjuna is a virgin and I am only a widow. There are still many beautiful single women out there who are chasing Arjuna," said Alvira.

"But Arjuna wants you" said Arumi.

Arumi smiled, she realized the murat of doubt imprinted on her daughter's face. The woman who entered old age also rubbed the top of her daughter's head gently.

"The "status of widows is not something that can be humiliated. Widow means failure in the household. It does not rule out the possibility if a widow will mate with a virgin man. Son, mama was married to your father once your father's status was a widower and mama was a girl" Arumi explained as she chuckled.

"Let's see now, our marriage lasted until we aged and even had two handsome and beautiful children" Arumi added.

"So, there's no harm in accepting Arjuna first. Just stay with him, doesn't Arjuna know everything better than any other man out there?" arumi.

After digesting all of his mother's words, Alvira nodded in understanding. What Arumi said is true. There is no harm in opening your heart to Arjuna. Didn't that man understand more about Alvira than any other man?

"Alright, Ma. I'll try it" Alvira said after weighing up the decision she was about to make. He also chose to approve his mother's advice to have a relationship with Arjuna.

Alvira shook her head.

"Well, that's just my mom's kid. It never hurts to step forward and try to rearrange your life. Mama will always support you" Arumi said as she rubbed her daughter's head.

They throw each other a smile, now Alvira decided to open the door of her heart, to a man named Arjuna.

Shortly afterwards, Bima's screams came from outside. "Auntie ... Granny ...." The little boy exclaimed to Alvira as well as Arumi.

"What's up, honey?" ask both at the same time.

"So Brother tried to show a funny face Brother. Continues Abian immediately laughed out loud. Cute brother saw sister laughing like that. Abian's sister is really smart," said Bima who is very enthusiastic about telling what he just saw.

"Where does Abiannya go?" ask Arumi.

"That, Grandma. In the car with Aunt. Brother has not been strong carrying Abian," he said while demonstrating by using body gestures.

Neither Alvira nor Arumi listened to Bima chattering immediately chuckled amusedly. The boy's expression looked very adorable as he told a story.

"Yes, then tell Aunt to bring Abian here" Alvira said.

"Good, Aunt. Aunty has her room cleaned up?" bima asked before stepping her feet out of the room.

"Here you go, honey." Alvira smiled.

"Yes, then Bima will ask Bibi to bring Abian here" said Bima while running small.

"Don't run, Bima. Falling down!" arumi Tegur.

"Good, Grandma." Bima also obeyed what his grandmother said.

A moment later, Bima returned to the room. This time the one holding Abian was not a servant but Rania who had just come to pick up the child. Seeing Arumi who was there, Rania immediately greeted her mother-in-law.

"Eh, Mba Rania." Alvira immediately greeted the back of Rania's hand, regretting it.

"Mba come alone?" ask Alvira.

"No. Come with Mas Varo. Mas Varo again under the same conversation papa," timpal Rania while putting Abian on the bed. He kissed Abian's puffed cheeks with anxiety.

"Just come home from work?" ask Arumi.

"Yes, Ma." Rania chimed in on her in-laws.

"Varo must be very busy having to handle two companies at once. I would love to jump straight in to help, but Abian is still very small for me to leave" said Alvira.

"You just focus on taking care of your son. Alvaro is not alone. Papa always helped her. So, do not have to think too much about the company's problems," said Arumi.

"Yes, what my mother said was right. You should focus on taking care of your child first," continued Rania who confirmed her speech in-laws.

Alvira nodded her head, following the advice of the two women before her.

"Mama ..mama ...." Bima shook her mother's arm, making Rania turn her eyes to the child.

"What's up, honey?" ask her gently.

Bima again chatted, he told about Abian who was laughing out loud to his mother. The three women who were there noticed Bima. Not because of the story from the boy's mouth, but the way he expressed, making anyone anxious to see it. Sometimes they laugh at the funny expression Bima. And then nods confirming Bima's words.

After a long time in the main house, Alvaro and Rania decided to go home. While Bima, their little hero was sleeping soundly in Alvaro's arms. Tired of playing with his sister all day.

Rania and Alvaro go home to their parents. The three got into the car. Rania chose to sit in the back, holding Bima who was currently asleep.

"Our son seems very tired to keep Abian," said Rania as she rubbed the top of Bima's head.

"Bima is happy with the little boy" replied Alvaro from behind the steering wheel.

"Patience, Son. Do'a right, so that mama can immediately give you a sister," Rania's mind while smiling looking at the peaceful face of her son, who was asleep.
