Anwar invited his wife to meet his mother. Magdalene was lying weakly on the bed. The woman, who was about 65 years old, looked so happy to see Anwar coming.
"Anwar, you've come, son!" magdalene cried when she saw the face of her stepson coming. But for a moment Magdalene's face turned cynical when she saw Marissa also coming behind her husband.
Anwar sat down beside Magdalene and kissed her stepmother's hand. Marissa kissed the in-laws' hands, but Magdalene immediately withdrew her hands. Marissa only smiled when her mother-in-law was indifferent to her. Meanwhile, Anwar seemed to try to calm his wife by wiping her arms. It was as if Anwar said nothing would happen.
Afterwards, Anwar began to approach Mama, "How are you, Mama?" exclaim Anwar.
"This is how it is, son! Mama's condition is getting weaker, Mama alone there are no friends in this house. Mama still thinks of you, Don't you want to stay here for a few days?Mama begs you," whined Magdalena to Anwar.
"But, Ma! What about Marissa? Anwar can't leave her at home alone" Anwar denied, who is unlikely to leave Marissa at home.
"Oh Anwar, don't you feel sorry for Mama?" it was the old woman's whining that made Marissa start to pity, even though she was never treated well by the in-laws.
"It's okay, Mom! You just keep Mama here for a few days. I have nothing, I have Mother and Syakilla at home" Marissa told her husband.
"But, I can't part with you, Ris! Or gini aja, Mama just stay with us, how? Let Mama not be alone" Anwar bargained with Magdalene.
"Damn it! My intention was to pretend to be sick so that Anwar could stay here and stay away from that woman. I was the one who was told to stay in their house. It seems like I have to comply with Anwar's request. I don't know if I can face this woman later. I want this woman out of my son's life, because my son will I betrothed to a richer girl than Marissa, "inner Magdalene.
"All right, Mama's going to your house!" reply Magdalene by force.
Finally, after Anwar asked his wife's opinion, Marissa agreed that Magdalene should stay in their home. Marissa agreed to the husband's request, and Anwar took Magdalene home.
Arriving at Anwar's new home, Magdalene notices the house built for Marissa, the woman looks cynical and seems to dislike if her son gives a magnificent home to his wife.
"For what Anwar wastes money on giving this house to his wife, the woman does not deserve any of this. He shouldn't have gotten the luxury of my son. Just a widow so easily she enjoys my son's money, cihhh! I swear I will not let the woman be at home in her own house" said Magdalene.
Meanwhile, Marissa tries to be friendly to the in-laws, even though she knows that the in-laws like her less.
"Come, Ma! I'll take you to the room!" marissa exclaimed as she led her mother-in-law to enter the room that had been provided.
"No need!" Magdalene appears to have brushed off her daughter-in-law's hand and she chooses to walk on her own without Marissa's help.
"Yes, Mom! I understand, you just calm down!" reply Marissa who tried to toughen up.
While on the other hand, the Mama saw his iron coming to the house of the child and his daughter-in-law, he said, of course, Marissa's mother was surprised by the arrival of her iron which used to not allow Marissa to live in her luxury home.
"Mrs Magdalena? Why is he here?" my mother was confused too. Then the mother approached Marissa and asked, "Rissa! Isn't that Madame Magdalene? Why is he here?"
"Mama Magdalene is sick, Ma! And he wants to stay with us in this house" Marissa replied.
"Oh Marissa! It's not that I don't like to see your mother-in-law living in this house. It's just that the mother felt that if the presence of your in-laws would affect your household later, Mama was afraid that it would happen considering that Madame Magdalene did not agree that her son was married to a widow" said the mother.
"Mom don't worry, Inshallah Marissa will be strong, Ma!" reply Marissa.

Although many servants and nuns were paid Anwar to take care of the mother. In fact, Magdalene would not be cared for except by Marissa.
"Marya!!!!" magdalene shouted from the door.
