HOW CAN I NOT LOVE YOU
Chapter 6 - Aka Cayan Eyan
" You better not tell me first about your meeting with Mr. Arya's sisters to Mother, Anin." While on his way home to his apartment, Ricky asks Anindita to keep their meeting with Ria and Lanny secret to Fatma's mother, Mama from Arya.
Anindita turned her gaze to her husband with a frown, he was amazed by Ricky's instructions when Ricky himself had made a promise to bring Mother Fatma with the two children of Mama from Arya that night at the restaurant owned by Koh Leo and Sandra.
" Lho, didn't Mas say that we will meet with Mbak Ria and Mbak Lanny tonight at Ci Sandra's place?" tanyanya. " Are we not going there?" continued.
" We're still going there, but we don't have to tell Mom first if we're going to meet them. I'm afraid they won't come later tonight, if you tell Mom first, it'll disappoint Mom, Anin." Ricky explained to Anindita the reason for forbidding his wife from telling her meeting with Aryan sisters to Fatma's mother.
" Later if they're right to come, let it be a surprise for Mom" Ricky continued.
Finally Anindita understood the meaning of her husband's words, she also certainly did not want to make Mama ex-husband was disappointed, he said, let Mother Fatma be disappointed with the attitude of Ria and Lanny when she expelled herself, she was also disappointed because she exiled Mother Fatma to the orphanage, don't let Fatma come back disappointed for the third time because they don't want to meet her own mother.
After arriving at the apartment, Ricky prepares to go to his office.
" Don't be late for home, Mas" Anindita said as she handed over her husband's briefcase and kissed Ricky on the back of her hand.
" Yes, I'll be home soon." Ricky replied by peeping Anindita's forehead. " Papa go first, Arka." Ricky kissed Arka on the cheek and handed the boy to Anindita. " I left first, assalamualaikum .." said Ricky to Anindita.
" Waalaikumsalam .." said Anindita to return the greeting uttered by Ricky. " By the way, Papa ..." Anindita moves Arka's hand waving to Ricky.
Ricky smelled a smile and rubbed Arka's soft-skinned face, he kissed Aryan's son's puffer cheek and left his apartment.

" Ashiramalaikum, Eyang. This is the finished Ark of Papa Arya's tomb, Yang." Anindita enters Mama Arya's room after Ricky leaves for the office.
" Waalaikumsalam's. Arka's out of Papa's tomb, huh?" Mama Arya who just finished performing the dhuha prayer took off her face when she heard Anindita's voice from behind the door.
" Yes, Eyang. Arka sent a prayer to Papa." Anindita took down Arka and let her son approach her Grandma.
" Eyan, Aka and Papa Aya ..." Arka chattered to Mama Arya as if telling her Grandma if she had just visited her Papa's grave.
" God, how clever is this grandchild of Eyang." Mama Arya lifts Arka's body and puts it on her lap.
" Ma, tonight Mas Ricky will take us to dinner at Koh Leo's restaurant." Anindita conveys her husband's plan to invite them to dinner together, although their goal is actually to bring together Mama Arya with two sisters from Arya.
" You're the only ones leaving, Nin. Mama doesn't feel good always interrupting your family's events." Mama Arya wants to refuse because she doesn't feel good always coming if Ricky and Anindita go to enjoy family time.
" It's okay, Ma. Mama's also part of my family and Mas Ricky's, so Mama's gonna have to come with us for dinner tonight." Trying to persuade her former Mama-in-law, Anindita said that Mama Arya had been considered like her own parents.
" Mom, why does Mama look so sad?" Anindita rubbed the shoulder of Mama Arya, she was astonished by the change in the face of Mama Arya who looked moody. " Mama's sick?" ask Anindita later.
" No, no, Nin. Mama's okay." Mama Arya hastily dismissed Anindita's allegations saying she was sad and crying.
" Ma, if Mama has something that feels bad, Mama told Anin. Anin can't calm down when she sees Mama's moody face like that." Now Anindita rubs Mama Arya's arm, hoping Mama Arya will tell her about what the Grandma of her child with Arya thought.
Mama Arya's hand touched Anin's hand along with a smile on the middle-aged woman's lips.
" Mama is not sad, Nin. Mama just feels happy to be reunited with angel-hearted humans like you and Ricky Boy. If Mama doesn't meet you guys, maybe Mama's still in the nursing home, and Mama can't see Eyang's granddaughter Sholeh." Mama Arya now kisses her grandson's cute forehead and cheeks.
Anindita's mouth said that if she had met with Ria and Lanny, she also wanted to say if the dinner plan was to bring Mama Arya and her two children together. However, if you remember the message of the husband who was worried if Ria and Lanny did not come and it will make Mama Arya disappointed and sad, Anindita became hesitant to convey this happy news.
" Ma, all this has been arranged Allah SWT, Mama and Mas Arya are so good with Anin. Mama and Mas Arya can accept Anin with the story of Anin's past because Anin was pregnant with Rama out of wedlock. Now is the time for Anin to repay the kindness of Mama and Mas Arya. After all, there was a child between Anin and Mas Arya, so Anin felt obliged to take care of Mama as the Eyeang of Anin's son, Ma."
" If Ria and Lanny had such sincerity as you, Anin."
" Mommy, don't be sad about that, Ma. Anin prayed that Allah SWT reunite Mama with Mbak Ria and Mbak Lanny."
" I don't know, Nin. Do you know how and where they are currently? Mama is sad, Mama feels like she failed to educate both of them, unlike Arya, who is so obedient and obedient to Mama." There was a bitter tone in the sentence that came out of Mama Arya's mouth.
Anindita rubbed the back of Mama Arya, she was actually regretting the attitude of the two Aryan sisters who were really disobedient to parents especially to a mother. The nature of the two of them is indeed different from Arya and Mama who are good and so wise.
" Ma, this isn't all Mama's fault, Mas Arya is so good, it's because of Mama's guidance too, right? If there's something wrong with the attitude of Mbak Ria and Mbak Lanny, it's because of the influence of their own association, Mama don't blame yourself Mama." Anindita clasped her arms around Mama Arya from the side.
Seeing her mother hugging Mama Arya, Arka also hugged her Eyeang, while saying, "Mama cayan Eyan, Aka canan Eyan .." chirped the little boy funnyly.
