HAPPIER
CHAPTER 12

After dinner, Umi asked me to go into her room. He asked for a massage, that's the custom, every time he stayed here, umi would have asked for a massage. Especially when I was a girl, almost every night her routine before going to bed is mimijit umi.

There are times when I grumble and mengedumel alone if the fit is no longer in the mood but umi still maksa. However, at the end of the day I enjoy the activity because that moment will be the event for me. Umi likes to invite me to chat, when I am not excited, Umi always has a lot of ways to make me chat with her, she said so I do not sleepy.

Unlike abi, before going to bed abi prefers to dwell with his work in his study. He said let no one miss tomorrow and make it easier to organize his activities in the office. The principle of abi in work is, complete the work in your mind before completing it. He said in order to minimize making mistakes and also make us work effectively and efficiently. Come to think of it, it's true as well, and I've proven it many times, it's just that I'm not the type of person who likes to bring work home.

Mas Fachri, my husband, currently works at an abi company. Actually she refused, her pride was too high to accept abi's help. However, after we assured him, he was finally willing, he was only willing to help. Mas Fachri is not at all willing to hold leadership in abi companies. He is currently establishing his own company. I'm not a problem myself, I'm even more proud to have him, he is a loving and responsible man.

And as already, when I was in the room with Umi, we can be sure that Fachri was in the workspace with abi. While Sky, there are times when he participated in the room, while following the spawning of umi and became a loyal listener of chatter me and umi. However, Sky is more often busy with his own business in front of several commouter screens in his room. I myself was confused why he insisted on taking college in two different majors. For Architecture majors, it still makes sense considering his hobby is exactly the same as Bery. In fact, I was suspicious, lest the pictures that were found in the trash first were Sky's, not Bery's, because Bery's people were very neat and orderly. So regularly, the paper garbage is sorted according to size and then stacked neatly, usually put into cardboard and then thrown away.

For Law majors, I don't know where. It may be because it is inspired by the cases it has faced in the past.

It's been almost 15 minutes I massage the body of the umi, it feels like both my hands are starting to ache.

"Maybe it's time to use art services, umi is old, remember age, love her body." I said give advice.

"Umi's still strong, besides your brother and Sky like to help." Umi elak.

"Yes, if you're not busy. If the two are busy, then also the veteran." Cecarku protest. "Partially if you do not want to use art services, the clothes can be diloundry, later the underwear that you wash. Or Umi can find art that does not need to stay at home, just help umi some houses and nyuci. At least the burden of umi will be much reduced." I still say with my hands busy massage umi.

"Later I thought again, besides if Sky is married, there will be his wife who accompanied us at home." Umi's speech glares.

"Yes, if his wife wants to be brought to live here, if you want, what if his wife is a career woman, do not let well, if you want to, do not fall-down even add the burden of the umi at home because Sky's wife does not have time for household affairs." This reality must be understood from the beginning, not to be too hopeful with his daughter-in-law in the future. Take for example me who feels more comfortable living in my own home, not at my parents' house not at my in-laws' house.

"Your mind is far off, Nin. I don't know if Sky wants to get married or not. And Umi doesn't want to force it. He could be just like now I'm grateful, son." Umi's face looks sad.

I cannot deny what Umi said, we are really grateful to see Sky now.

"Have you ever known what Bery talked about when he met his mom and dad in the village?" I asked to shift the subject.

"No, he didn't tell me when he came here. So how? Have you been forgiven?" Asked the curious umi then changed her previously lying position to sit facing me.

"Dimaafin, but there's a condition, umi."

"Thank God, this is very good news. Then what's the condition?"

"Bery was asked to marry!"

"Married?" Umi's eyes were slightly rounded hearing him.

"Umi pray, may Bery soon be reunited with his soul mate, of course umi hope he gets a good man who will accept it as it is." Umi said expectantly.

"Well, that's her problem umi. Umi knows for herself how Bery's trauma is the same relationship of attachment to men. She was still so afraid that her husband would not accept his past."

"The child's love.." again umi looked sad. "How do you know the solution then?"

I let out a rough sigh, "no Umi. I tried to convince him but I didn't know if he could or not. I was just afraid, lest he not think clearly and rush to make a decision. I'm afraid she picked the wrong husband." My words brought out everything that stuck my mind.

"We pray for him, may he get the best."

"Aamiin.." I said following the Umi prayer. "Oh well umi, if we match Sky and Bery according to umi how?" Many doubt.

"Are you serious Nin want to match them?" Ask Umi back with her serious face.

"I'm serious umi. I've been weighing it up." Say steady.

Umi paused for a moment then looked at me wildly. "What's the reason you want to match them? Umi wants to hear the reason according to your science, not because of the tendency of your feelings of affection to Bery as her best friend."

"I discussed one-on-one well, umi. Sky has a problem with his fear of his character as a man, he is afraid of being attracted to the opposite sex, essentially he is afraid of being a brengs*k man like - sorry - om Danu at that time. Sky just needs to be convinced that getting married is the solution to tame his character. Not even by staying away from women." I looked at Umi's face, waiting for her reaction, but she seemed more interested in waiting for the next explanation.

"While Bery," I continued carefully, "Bery was afraid that her chastity would be questioned by her husband. She was afraid after giving everything and then suddenly her husband turned around and thought there was no special relationship between them, Bery was afraid of being betrayed."

"Then what's the connection?" Tanya Umi still did not understand where I was going.

"If the two of them are united in marriage, they can heal each other." My answer is full of confidence.

"That's if it works, if it fails?" Cecar umi again.

"We have to be sure first that this is going to work, we're all going to help them. Let's just say this is part of the therapy for them. We must dare to take this step, or they will both remain in the shadows of their respective pasts."

"Umi don't agree!"
