Meka could feel Mona's dislike for him. Meka glanced at Mona. The gazes they met, Mona gave a sharp look.
She turned her eyes back to her mother-in-law.
"Ma, I think we should go back tonight. Because tomorrow Zain is in college. Zain promised when we were off, we were definitely staying," Zain suddenly canceled the stay.
"Yes....Mama has been hoping very much you want to nginep here with Mama," said Mama sadly.
"Mas Zain don't make your mama dong sad! Poor Mama Mas is sad. Meningan Mbak Meka aja who lives here in his father-in-law. Mas Zain returned to the apartment. Kan Mbak Meka does not enjoy college assignments. So you can accompany her in-laws right here," Mona gives a proposal that makes Meka furious.
Zain thought and looked towards Meka. Then she turned to her mother. Before Zain replied, Meka immediately took over.
"Sorry Ma, not that Meka does not want to spend here, but Meka also tomorrow just entered college for the first time after returning from Paris. So, as Mas Zain said, when we have a holiday, we will come again to stay overnight" Meka said.
"Dear, it's okay. Mama knows it. But you guys don't rush home. Mama still misses you two" her mother replied.
"Yes Ma, thank you Ma," Meka felt grateful that her in-laws were willing to understand.
"Yes dear," replied his mother Zain while gently rubbing Meka's cheek.
"Ma, now we eat first. Papa has been waiting too long, Papa is hungry," spoiled his Papa Zain.
"Sorry Pa, Mama forgetfulness. After still miss the same child and ghost," replied his mother Zain.
"Let's help Auntie prepare her dinner," Mona deliberately wants to take the attention of her Mama Zain.
He must, however, grab the attention of his mother Zain. Mona doesn't want Meka to beat her. The various ways he did so that his mother Zain would distract him from Meka.
"Mona want to help Auntie?" ask Mama Zain.
"You dong Aunty, all Mona learn to be good later," replied Mona while glancing at Meka.
Mona smiles when Meka sees her.
"Come on if that's it. Aunty is happy that Mona is now more mature, willing to plunge to help Auntie," praised Mama Zain.
"Ah Aunt, Mona is so embarrassed," Mona pretends to show her innocence.
"From yesterday Mona really wants to learn to cook with you, sister. He said you're good at cooking," Mona's mother provoked the situation.
"It's not that you're also good at deck cooking, why should I?" ask Mama Zain.
"I can't cook so much. Mona's father is also rarely at home. So I rarely cook, delivery more often" replied Mona.
"Yes, come on, help Brother prepare his dinner," asked his mother Zain.
"Come Aunty," Mona holds her Mama Zain's hand and pretends to be spoiled in front of Meka.
Meka just bobbing heads looking at Mona's excessive behavior. Maybe Zain's mother is easy to deceive, but not with him. Meka understands women like Mona who have a lot of tricks.
Meka just followed them behind. He walks leisurely and does not bother with Mona's behavior.
While in the middle room, Zain still chatted with Papa and his Om. They discussed about the work and about Zain who should run his Papa Company.
"Mas, when did Zain run your company? You are old. Don't be long," said Omnya while glancing at Zain.
"I'm up to Zain, he's still happy to be a Lecturer rather than a President" replied Zain.
"Zain, it's not because of your wife is it? You have no pity look Papa you wes old ngono, hah," ketus Omnya.
Zain doesn't like it if someone cornered him, especially his wife. Family problems, no need to interfere. Zain stared coldly at his omnya.
"Sorry Om, this has nothing to do with my wife. He did not know about my position as the successor of Papa Company. I hope Om doesn't interfere in the Company's problems with my wife" Zain said, staring coldly.
"Oalah Mas, I advise Zain loh. He's your only boy. Ojo in manjain by determining his own way," reprimanded his father's sister.
"Pa, I'm going inside first. Want to rest," said Zain who was already very boring to be between his Papa and Omnya.
Then Zain got up from his seat on the sofa. He walked to his room. He did not want to hear the company's discussion. So Zain chose to dodge and take Meka to the room alone.
Just as Zain was about to go to the room, he stopped and called out to Meka who was not far from him.
"Honey, accompany Mas to the room," Zain asked without caring about the other expression.
"Okay," Meka did not reject her husband's invitation.
Then she said goodbye to her mother-in-law and walked towards her husband. Zain and Meka left the dining room, they both entered Zain's room.
"Mas, why are you taking me to my room? Is there anything to talk about?" asked Meka who was surprised to see her husband's attitude.
"There's nothing, baby. I just want to rest" replied Zain.
"Mas, to be honest with me, you have something stuck in your heart? Or feel uncomfortable? Tell me the same about me?" pinta Meka holding Zain's hand.
Zain let out a sigh, then he greeted Meka's bead of eyes which was very comfortable for him to look at.
"Honey, if I continue Papa's company, would you agree?" ask Zain carefully.
"Why are you suddenly asking like that? Did anyone talk about it?" Meka asked back.
"Yes, Om I discussed the issue of my Papa Company, but I don't like him being too involved" Zain replied.
"Sabar Mas, don't laugh at emotions. Let them try to interfere but don't let us be distracted" Meka said wisely.
"You're right baby, I was a bit emotional because I didn't like the attitude of Om who tried to influence Papa."
"Mas, it looks like we should stay away from the Mona family. For some reason, I felt the presence of the devil in Mona. That's why I said there was a heat that I felt when I was in front of the house earlier," said Meka.
Zain directed his body towards Meka so that their positions faced each other. Zain held Meka's hand tightly.
"I'm sorry if I was unhappy with your words, dear. Maafin Mas ya," pinta Zain sincerely.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I understand you will not understand and think that is macem with my words" Meka replied.
"Would we go home now?" tanya Zain asked Meka for her opinion.
"Don't Mas, we eat first, we're done, we go straight home. Just say it was suddenly your room at the same lecturer at the Campus," Meka's advice that makes a lie.
"All right, baby, let's get out. They must have been waiting" Zain asked.
Then Zain and Meka immediately came out from inside his room and walked towards the dining room. It's been at the gathering of Mama and Papa and Mona's family.
Mona stared dislikefully at Meka. His face showed a cynical and scornful look.
While his mother Zain immediately approached Meka and Zain.
"Honey, let's eat, don't be late. You should give Mama a grandchild soon. Therefore, take care of his health" advised his mother Zain.
"Yes Ma, Zain will always keep Meka and Zain's condition as well. Zain asked Meka to think for a moment, Zain's head was a bit dizzy Ma. Oh yes, we went straight home, yes Ma, because there was a Lecturer who asked Zain for help to teach tomorrow," said Zain who ended up lying.
"Well..., Mama wants to talk to Meka. But yes already, tomorrow you have to promise that you have a holiday, will stay here," replied his mother who resigned her child's wishes.
"Yes Ma, Zain and Meka promised to stay here,"
Then they sat at the dinner table. Zain deliberately told Meka to sit near his mother. He sat next to Meka. They ate while chatting except for Zain who did not want to talk much.
