"Willy?" call a woman who makes them turn to the source of the voice.
"Mama! Mama's here?" It turned out to be his mother. What a great moment for Dinda.
Willy immediately got up and got up from his seat approaching the mother who was still standing.
"When did Mama come?"
"It was only last night. Who is this Wil?" ask the woman who glanced at Dinda.
Dinda who is aware will be asked immediately woke up and bowed respectfully. Introducing herself to Willy's mother.
"Minda."
"Darling," he answered. A good start, it turns out the prospective in-laws are not as imagined. Mayang looks friendly and accepts his handwriting. Dinda's heart was a little relieved because the response of the in-laws was very good.
"Tumben you brought the Wil chick." Questions with a mocking tone. Willy is a quiet, cold guy. Never seen walking or being with a woman. Especially bringing him home.
The mother was eager to see her son get married and have a dream daughter-in-law. For Mayang, Dinda beautiful woman soft attitude was very polite. But there are those who do not know. About Dinda's status.
"All right now we go for a walk." Willy replied, sitting back down.
"Honey sit down. There's a potential ghost to be welcomed." The Grandma's orders. Mayang just smiled then sat down next to the grandmother.
Mayang had not noticed Syena's presence. When she was about to sit Mayang glanced at her grandmother. He was laughing with a little girl he didn't recognize.
"Who is this?" ask Mayang who saw Syena.
"Syena, my aunt's son." Mayang looked at Dinda.
"Child!" Mayang looked dislikeful, her smile slowly fading.
When he was gathered, Willy left because he had to pick up the phone. There were three of them in the room. Mayang's gaze was unceasingly fixed on Dinda. See his appearance from top to bottom.
Well-favoured. One word to praise Dinda. But Widow. One word that made him dislike. How could his son marry a widow.
"So you've been married?" mayang asked without looking at Dinda.
"Yes aunty."
"Divorce or …."
"We separated because of divorce" replied Dinda who already knew the meaning of Mayang's words.
It is not easy to accept a woman who has a past. What else does the past keep haunting.
Mayang moved from his seat to go to his room. Dinda saw that and felt a change in attitude from Mayang.
While passing through the room, Mayang cross paths with Willy who just ended his chat on a phone call. Mayang also invited his son to enter his room.
"Willy, Mama wants to talk."
Willy who was about to step was forced to stop and go into his mother's room.
"What's the matter Ma?" willy asked after being in the room.
"Who's Dinda? What's your relationship with him?" ask Mayang without further ado.
"He's my girlfriend my future wife."
"You sure? He's been married and had a son."
"Where's the problem?" ask Willy to relax.
"Willy, it's not easy being in a relationship with a woman who has a past."
"I don't understand what Mama meant."
Mayang threw his breath rough. There was disappointment in his face. It seems that Mayang does not like this relationship.
"Mama doesn't like you being in touch with her."
"What's wrong with Dinda getting married?"
"Willy, listen to Mama. Divorced means her husband is still there and they have one child. It's impossible if Dinda and her ex-husband never met. And it will be a conflict for your marriage later. That man could have kept haunting."
"Willy, think carefully. There's still a lot of women out there who are nice and singgle."
"Can't Ma, I promised to marry her. And I love her daughter and will consider her to be my daughter. Maybe Mama doesn't know Dinda very well. Dinda's not what you think."
After saying that Willy rushed away. Bidding his grandmother brings Dinda and Syena home.
"Dinda, Syena, let's go home." Take Willy to the family room.
Dinda was astonished by Willy's different attitude, such as being upset and holding back anger. Without saying anything Willy immediately grabbed Syena into his lap.
"Where are you going?" ask Grandma.
"You're coming home, Grandma."
"You don't live here, Wil?"
"I'll stay at the hotel." Answer Willy, cold. Making Grandma suspicious as well as Dinda confused.
"Wil, I'm not saying goodbye to Aunt Mayang."
"No, let's go home. Fear of pity Syena."
Dinda only resigned as Willy led his hand. Mayang came out of the room to see his son's departure.
"Did you offend her?" ask Grandma. Who glanced at his eyes.
It was as if he knew the relationship between his son and grandson. Mayang and Willy were never one opinion. Mayang who always presses and Willy who always refutes. Because he does not like his life which is always arranged by his mother.
"I'm just saying what I should have said." Said Mayang who landed his ass on the chair.
"About what else?" Grandma Rose sat down beside him.
"Mother this how the hell. Just got your granddaughter carrying a woman who already has a child. He even said he wanted to marry her."
"Then what's the problem? Not that you're happy because your son is getting married."
"But not with a widow, either. Why should a single parent if there are still many singles out there, virgins."
"What's wrong with being a widow? Do they not deserve to be happy? It doesn't matter which girl or widow to me is important they both like and that woman is very kind and deserves to be our daughter-in-law."
"Mother! I don't understand."
"Don't understand what you mean. You don't understand your son's wishes. And look now the boy is gone."
Rose looked upset and passed away. While Mayang can only withstand his frustration.
A girl or a widow is not important. But for him it was very important. His friends will ask later. What if he knew his son was married to a widow. Maybe it'll be a mockery for his friends.
"Mom really doesn't understand. What will my friend say. My son-in-law is a one-child widow. My son is a great man, smart and handsome, why should he marry a widow."
That's what Mayang is afraid of. His reputation and his pride.
*****
Along the way Willy just kept quiet and focused on his steering circle. His eyes are very sharp. His veins popped up as a sign that Willy was angry.
Dinda just kept quiet, and looked at Willy's unusual expression. Wanting to ask but not daring, Dinda better ask after arriving at her house.
Willy stopped his car in front of Dinda's house, the sky was looking cloudy maybe because the day would pass and change the night.
"We have arrived. Sorry I couldn't get you inside. Greet my mother" said Willy.
Dinda opened the setbelt. And was about to come down however, suddenly her heart voice wanted to say, "Your mother doesn't seem to like me. I understand aunt Mayang's feelings. It's not that easy to let her child marry a woman like me. Who has a past. Maybe Aunt Mayang wants you to marry a good woman who is still a girl, not a widow like me."
"What's the difference between a girl or a widow? To me they're both women."
It doesn't make any difference. But the views of the person are different and a widow is always considered bad by society.
