[In Widya's house ]
"Where does Mar feel? " ask Widya on the sidelines of their meal.
"Enak Wid's. Bener-bener Woahh. "widya replied with a face that felt good.
Widya smiled happily seeing Maria enjoying her meal.
After eating, Maria stood up and brought all the dirty dishes to the kitchen.
"Maria, no. Already put it, there will be a clean" Widya's pinta while holding Maria's hand.
Maria then frowned and firmly rejected Widya's orders. Widya understood, then she gently took off her hand. Mary smiled and went to the kitchen.
"Non, let me" the old mother wore a negligee in the kitchen.
"Hurry up, it's nothing. Let me" Maria replied with a smile, washing the dirty dishes.
"Don't non, it's my duty" the old mother asked once more.
"Happy, it's okay. Ibuk works for the Widya family, while I am a guest and I am used to it like this. This is what I want" Maria replied firmly and smiling to calm the anxious heart of the mother
The old mother stroked her chest and smiled at Mary's kind-hearted behavior in the midst of today's changing child age.
The old mother sprightly, helped dry the dishes and arranged them on the shelf. Everything happened neatly and quickly.
"Thank you Non" said the mother
"Hum, don't call me non yes, my name is Maria" she said, holding the old mother's hand.
"Sama-sama" Maria replied with a genuine smile.
Maria then returned from the kitchen and headed for the dining table. Widya waited while playing her hp.
"Widy.. Ayok learn" cletuk Maria.
"Yes Allah.. Shocked me. "surprised Widya for being too focused on her phone.
"You anyway.. Seriously look at the phone" said Maria.
"Yes ayok Mar" replied Widya standing up from the chair.
When Maria and Widya wanted to go up to the 2nd floor, the front door opened and entered 2 people who were none other than Widya's parents.
"Assalamualaikum" greeting the man in a suit wearing glasses.
"Wallaikumsalam" Widya replied spontaneously.
When Widya realized it was her parents, she ran away and welcomed them like an 8-year-old.
The two Widya's parents embraced her and they reciprocated with hugs and affection.
Unknowingly, Mary's tears fell on her cheeks. Seeing the happiness in front of him is a dream that he yearns for and hopes to exist forever.
Quickly, Mary walked into the kitchen and washed her face. Grandfather who was standing at the side, looked at Maria and her tears.
Widya who has been diverted to her parents like forgetting if there is Maria. Widya excitedly invited her parents to sit and chat in the living room.
After washing her face, Maria then returned to her original place and saw Widya had taken her parents to the living room.
"Please understand Widya's behavior" cletuk Grandpa who approached Maria
"Eh Grandpa.. Yes cake" Maria replied, nodding her head
"For 3 months, they did not meet, because Asnan and Mutia worked abroad" Grandpa explained.
Maria just smiled understanding how much Widya missed her parents.
"Grandpa's going to the front porch? " ask Grandpa.
"I... Yes kek" answered Maria groggi.
Grandfather invited Maria to go to the front porch of the house and sit on one wooden table with 2 other wooden chairs on the right and left.
Seen the dark sky and garden lights that have been lit, ready to witness the story
"Sit. " Grandpa's orders.
Maria sat down and looked at Grandpa.
Grandfather looked at Maria for a moment then turned his gaze towards the garden that was in front.
"Kowe sits down in Jakarta, right? " ask Grandpa
(You're not a native of Jakarta, are you?)
Maria was surprised because Grandpa suddenly used Javanese.
(Yes Cake)
"Kuto endi? " ask grandpa while brewing the coffee on the table
(From Which City?)
"Kulo is so Blitar" Maria replied staring at Grandpa seriously
(I'm from Blitar)
"Grandfather perhatikno, kowe akeh mind nduk?"
(Grandfather notice, you have a lot of thoughts huh?)
"Mboten, kulo sae mawon" answered Maria lowered her head
(No, I'm fine)
"Lek mung kowe pendem, will destroy your urip nduk" said Grandpa who is still staring at the park in front of him
(You're a damper, it'll ruin your life)
Mary kept holding back so her tears wouldn't fall.
"Grandfather understands, lek iki sits on grandfather's business. Nanging grandpa iso ndelok wong hard ati"
(Grandfather understands this is not grandpa's business. But grandpa couldn't see anyone who was having a hard time)
"Mboten nopo-nopo cake, Maria was strong in trouble" replied Maria who involuntarily shed tears
(It's okay, Sister, Mary is already strong in the face of problems)
"Sniff duck, significant ala". Grandpa advised by looking at Maria seriously.
(Good deeds will always be known, and bad deeds will also be known)
"Opo ae problems sing mbok hadepi, Grandpa percoyo yen bad deeds will be heard. Ojok worried, sing patient" added Grandpa
(Whatever problems you face, Grandpa believes that bad deeds will be discovered. Don't worry, be patient)
Mary, who had heard the advice, could not hold back her tears. Anxiety and heartache, he pendam and keep it deep. Horrible events that he had felt and lost loved ones because of it.
The grandfather who saw could only fall silent and let Maria vanish all her cries.
Widya and her parents suddenly came and ran towards the sound of crying and Widya was surprised to see Maria.
"What is this cake? " ask Widya wonder
Grandpa just raised his index finger in front of his mouth, showing the gesture so that Widya was silent first, to let Maria take it off.
After Maria was feeling better, she brought Widya to go upstairs and sit down to rest. While in the bedroom, Widya can only calm Maria down and give her some encouragement.
In Maria's heart, she felt confident that Widya and her family were good people. Her feelings told her to tell Widya about her life burden.
Maria then pulled Widya to sit in front of her. They both look at each other.
"Wid, can I tell you about my past? " stare seriously at Mary with puffy eyes
"The cave is ready Mar" Widya replied ready to hear
Maria then told me from the beginning of her life until she reached Jakarta.
Widya's eyes were teary-eyed. Her tears endlessly came out and made Widya as unwilling to hear how bitter the story was.
But Maria apologized that she had not been able to say the names of the perpetrators, and Widya understood that very well. Widya even said that if Maria is ready to fight them in the legal path, Widya will ask her Mama who is a Lawyer to help her.
Maria is so grateful for that. Then the two of them immediately washed their faces and continued the group task together.
At the same time downstairs, Grandpa and Widya's two parents sit down for dinner together.
"What was it? " Tanya Mutia
"Father of a great and strong woman who is ready to fight against the cruelty of the world" replied Grandfather firmly
"But there are doubts and heartaches that gradually erode his mental and life" Grandpa added.
"But she's a strong woman and I'm happy, because Widya has friends like her" Grandpa added firmly.
"Just this time I'm interested in playing Widya. Which means the child is a great figure that only the Father can see" said Asnan his son-in-law.
"Father has lived 75 years. And you can see the character of people without knowing the past" Grandpa said while looking at Mutia and Asnan.
"Dhuwur wekasane, endhek wiwitane".
