HOW CAN I NOT LOVE YOU
Chapter 34 - Forgiveness
Ricky has been informed by Denny about the work done by Ria and Lanny for the past two years. According to Denny, currently the two Aryan sisters have a clothing store business. And they live in a contract that is behind their shophouse.
According to Denny, Arya's two sisters are now divorced from their respective husbands. So they have to continue their lives and open a clothing store business whose price is of course affordable by the community with makeshift quality.
Ricky got out of his car and stared at a house with a large yard, but it seemed unkempt with wild plants growing in the yard. The house is an heirloom house owned by Aryan parents that is sold by Ria and Lanny to continue their lives after being divorced by their respective husbands. The house looks abandoned and uninhabited, because according to Denny the house was not occupied by its owner after it was bought from Ria and Lanny.
" I'm going to buy this house, right?" ask Anindita who came down from the car.
Ricky finally discusses with Anindita about the results of Denny's investigation of Ria and Lanny. At the persuasion of Anindita also finally Ricky
looking for a homeowner who bought a house owned by the Rahardja family heirloom. Ricky plans to buy the house to be handed back to Fatma's mother as he once did to Arya's house, which plans will be given to Arka if Arka grows up.
" Yes, Denny's been trying to contact that guy. It just so happened that the man was out of town, and could only meet next Sunday after the man returned to Jakarta. Later after that person is in Jakarta, I will try to arrange a time to be able to meet." Ricky explained that at this time he still could not meet with the owner of the house Mama Arya.
" Then, when can we meet Ms Ria and Ms Lanny, Mas?" ask Anindita later.
" Later weekend" replied Ricky. " We just met at the place yesterday, huh!?" Ricky plans to hold a meeting with Arya's two sisters at Koh Leo and Ci Sandra's restaurant.
" At Koh Leo's restaurant?" ask Anindita.
" Yes, do you have any recommendations elsewhere?" ricky asked his wife to decide on their meeting place.
" Nothing. Yes, in Koh Leo's place only. It's comfortable there, right! It's good to talk." Anindita did not have any other place to meet other than Koh Leo and Ci Sandra's place so she agreed.
" Oh yeah, let's go home!" Ricky takes Anindita back to the car and back to their apartment.

" What is your mom doing?" Anindita pops her head from behind the door to find out what Mama Arya is working on.
" What's up, Anin? Come inside!" Mama Arya closed the book she was reading and allowed Anidita to enter the room.
" Mama is reading? Did Anin bother Mama?" Anindita glanced at the book held by Mama Arya.
" No, really. What's the matter, Nin?" ask Mama Arya back.
" Ma, Anin got word about Mbak Ria and Mbak Lanny." The aura of Mama Arya's face turned sad when Anindita mentioned herself knowing the news about Ria and Lanny.
Anindita immediately clasped Mama Arya's hand and said, "Mr Ria and Mbak Lanny want to meet with Mama. Does Mama mind?" ask Anindita.
Mama Arya shook her head. However the treatment of children to parents, will not melt the affection of parents to their children.

This weekend, Ricky kept his promise to bring together Arya's two sisters with Fatma's mother. Unlike before, this time Ria and Lanny actually arrived early before Ricky and his family arrived first.
Their arrival was greeted by a waiter at Koh Leo's readoran. If only they could be nice to Anindita, maybe Sandra would welcome them. However, given the bad attitude they did to Anindita made Sandra lazy to meet the guest from Anindita.
About ten minutes later Ricky and his family arrived, complete with their two children and Fatma's mother.
The atmosphere was immediately felt when Ricky and his family entered the private room. When he saw the presence of Mama Arya, Ria and Lanny immediately approached and hugged Mama and cried.
" Mama, forgive Ria, Ma. Hicks ..." Ria cried loudly to express her apology and regret for what she had done to her mother.
" Ma, Lanny was wrong, Ma. Lanny sinned because Lanny abandoned Mama." Not much different from Ria, Lanny also expressed her regret.
" We have been living hard all this time. We realize all this happened because we've been disobeying Mama." Ria again said the mistake she had made.
" Please forgive Lanny, Ma. Lanny and Mbak Ria promise we'll take good care of Mama." With tears in her eyes, Lanny said stammeringly. Arya's two sisters begin to feel a shock after they evict Anidita from Arya's house.
What happened to the life of Ria and Lanny who are suffering right now, of course there is Ricky's interference in it. Not accepting the mother of his son was treated badly by Lanny and Ria, Ricky immediately told his men to destroy the husband's career of Aryan sisters until completely bankrupt.
" Ria, Lanny, Mama's been forgiving you for a long time, son." Mama Arya was unable to hold back her sense of well-being. He was glad the boys realized his mistake.
" Anin, I'm sorry for my treatment of you all this time." Ria now said to Anindita with regret, because she had been cruel to Anindita when she kicked Anindita out of her own husband's house.
" Yes, Anin. I'm sorry too. As our regrets, let us take our Mama. We want to make amends for our mistakes by filial to Mama." Lanny continued Ria's words.
" We'd better sit down, ma'am." Anindita asked her ex-husband's two sisters to sit down.
" I've forgiven Ms. Ria and Ms. Lanny. I also do not hold hatred for you guys, really." said Anindita who did not hold the slightest grudge for the bad treatment of both of them to him. When she was young pregnant, they both kicked Anindita out of her own husband's house.
As a proverb, it has fallen down the stairs. Already lost a beloved husband suddenly, had to be driven out of the house. But Anindita felt grateful for the many friends who helped her at that time. And there's Ricky's figure who's always protecting him, avoiding himself from trouble. Although his attitude towards Ricky was never good and always ketus at that time
