"He's Zeo my son."
"What?"
Rinjani was stunned, covering her mouth with both palms, how could a pure Caucasian-looking Zeo be her father-in-law's son who had an Asian face.
"Darling, are you saying he's that whore's son?" Show Mama Ratna with big eyes.
"Shut up! Don't mention Rihana like that! She's my wife, too, Ratna."
"Papa..... Could you bring this bad boy here."
"He's also my son Na, and he'll stay here."
"Your work pa."
Mama Ratna's body shook violently, her face was fickle, angry, hateful, sad, and disappointed mixed there. Rinjani looked at her mother-in-law's face with slightly watery eyes. He felt the pain of Mama Ratna's heart.
Mama Ratna stood up abruptly. Staring fiercely at Zeo and her husband alternately. His eyes were very watery, ready to spit out the clear granules from there.
"If he lives here. I'm goin. Don't expect me back if she's still in this house."
Ratna's mother's tears shed as well, flooding to bring the river on her cheeks. Papa Rudi looked at his wife, there was anger, disappointment and guilt there.
"Rath-nah..."
Mama Ratna turned around and walked away leaving the dining table with her back constantly shaking. Rinjani looked pityfully at that back.
"Ratna! Ratna!" Call Mr. Budi stand up from the chair but do not go after the wife.
Rinjani looked at her father-in-law and then turned to look at Zeo who was eating as if he did not care. Netra Rinjani squinting. He stood up and looked at Mr. Budi.
"Pa, let Rin follow my mama."
Rinjani walks with a little run following mama Ratna who she is sure her heart is very upset. Although not know how the story, but Rinjani can draw conclusions, if mama Ratna ever betrayed by papa Rudi by marrying mama Zeo. Who somehow finally papa Rudi returned to mama Ratna lived happily, until Zeo was present again to the big house of the Rudi family.
Rinjani walks past Ratna's mother, and stops in front of the woman who is still crying. Rinjani looked at her mother-in-law's sad face. Then hugged the frail body of the old woman by tears.
"Mama..."
Ratna's mother's tears broke, she was crying in Rinjani's arms. Hearing the roaring cries of the hard woman made Rinjani's tears drip as well.
"Mama stay here first. Don't rush off. Mama's the hostess, it's not Mama who's supposed to go." Persuaded Rinjani tightened her embrace.
"Whatever your father cares about, mama, Rin. It used to be so, by not knowing the shame of the jallang woman came and destroyed the happiness of mama. Why is his son coming again? He must be intent on destroying this happy family as well." Mama pilu's cry.
"So, mama's going?"
"Mama didn't want to live under the same roof as the boy."
Rinjani sighed, and loosened her embrace. Looking at the old face that was soaked by tears. Rinjani raised her hand rubbing Mama Ratna's cheek gently.
"Let Rinjani take you where you want to go."

In the car that drove slowly, mama Ratna as you like. Crying in a quiet voice but still Rinjani can hear. Even so Rinjani tried to stay focused looking ahead. Sometimes Rinjani rubbed the arms of her mother-in-law to channel positive energy.
Rinjani stopped her car in the courtyard of the Rudi family villa which was more than 10km away from the main house. Rinjani got out of the car, circled around half the body and opened the door next to Mama Ratna sitting down. Help Ratna get out of the car and lead the weak body into the villa.
"What's wrong with Rinjani? Why is that so much fun?" Tanya mbok Darmi helped lead her employer to sit on the guest sofa.
"Bok please bring warm drinks for mama, and prepare a room for mama to sleep."
"Neng is good." Mbok Darmi walked away leaving the two towards the kitchen.
A moment later, Darmi came in with two glasses of warm tea on a tray and placed it on the front desk of Rinjani and her employer sat down.
"Thank you mbok." Rinjani took one cup of tea and gave it to mama Ratna who was still crying.
"Yes neng. Does Neng Rinjani want to stay here?"
"Yes mbok."
"Oo yes, excuse me first to settle the room for mother and neng Rinjani."
"Yes, thank you mbok."
After mbok Darmi left, the main door of the villa opened. Damar appeared with a worried face, approaching his mother and wife.
"Mama!"
Rinjani raised her head, turning to her husband who came in breathless after Rinjani sent him the message earlier before the trip to the villa.
"What's going on?" Damar looked at Rinjani and mama Ratna who were sitting next to each other.
Mama Ratna hugged her only child with a loud cry. Damar looked at his wife for an explanation.
"There's another papa's son at home."
"What?"
Damar looked at his mother's face that was still wet. Rubbed his cheek with love.
"The lacnut boy's coming again, Dam. I don't want to live on one roof with her." Mama Ratna said with a sigh.
"So mama's gone, Dam. Your papa's not chasing mom, Dam. Your dad doesn't love your mom."
"So calm mom, let Damar take care of her. Do you believe in Damar?"
Mama Ratna nodded slowly, hugging her son again with still crying out loud.
*****
In the main house of the Budi family residence.
Zeo looked at the sky of his room, the room he had once occupied. The same room he used to live in when he was a child with his mother. Zeo's eyes radiated a deep sadness, but there was also resentment and hatred.
"It's nothing, wait for the others to follow." Zeo murmured with a sharp eye.
