Risha enters the room with shaky steps, her tears have continued to flow ever since she came out of her hiding place. His heart was a little relieved that Grandpa could hold his Papi back from leaving the house, what the old man had said, for sure for tonight his Papi won't be out there driving a car with chaotic conditions.
Risha must strengthen her heart to speak frankly to Martin, if Elea's departure is not entirely due to the Grandmother's fault. But the story is incomplete that makes his grandmother angry and drove the Mami.
Bruckk....
A brown envelope fell from the nightstand next to Risha's bed, being nudged by her hand.
Tekkkkp....
The girl turned on the lights on both sides of her bed, because when she entered the room she did not turn on the lights, until she hit something.
"It's...." Risha took the envelope and took out the contents. The contents of the envelope are documents belonging to Elea, from birth certificates, passports, and other important letters that Risha asked to be handled by Herman when the girl made a passport for Elea.
"Mami" lirih Risha regretted everything, why yesterday he did not ask the first good to Elea, why instead directly accuse Elea who did not, even Risha spoke in a high tone and slapped Elea in the face.
"I'm sorry Risha Mih" said Risha hugging all of Elea's documents inside the brown envelope.
Plans for holidays and fun in the land of Ginseng, now dancing in the eyes of Risha and faded away. The plan of wanting to spend time together to be closer and familiar is now gone without her ever guessing. If only Risha held back a little and controlled her emotions, things would not be as chaotic and messy as this.
The girl continued to cry even though her tears did not come out again, no matter how long today Risha cried, regret always comes at the end, if and if it is not useful anymore. Tired of body, heart and mind makes Risha sleep by still holding an envelope on her chest.

In a room, two men of different ages are now sitting together, facing each other and silent. The man who as his father was silent because he waited for the child to be calmer, while my son was silent because he tried to control his anger, not an easy thing indeed.
"Can Papa talk?" tanyanya looked at her son's face.
Martin who was still trying to temper his emotions only nodded his head in response.
"First, Papa apologizes for failing to look after Papa's son-in-law. Papa is so sorry that he couldn't prevent your wife from leaving this house. Papa will not defend himself, please if you want to be angry and blame Papa" said the old man with sincerity.
"Secondly, Papa also apologized for not being able to control Papa's wife, so his actions and words hurt your wife so much, papa did not know what to say other than sorry. It feels like a thousand words of forgiveness may not necessarily cure your wife's heartache, papa knows that Mama is very guilty of Elea's departure, Papa..."
"Why should it be like this?" lirih Martin cupped her hands together on the table and placed her head on it.
Papa Adnan could not answer Martin's question, he himself until now also did not understand why the wife insisted on expelling Elea. Though all of them are still very able to be talked about carefully without having to expel the son-in-law in the middle of the night. Now she has trouble finding Elea despite moving her best people around. I don't know where Hariz's daughter-in-law is.
Given Elea lived a kara, it seemed impossible for any family to accommodate her. And if someone else is willing to take Elea in, chances are that person has a veiled intention, or worse if the Hariz family business competitor who found Elea, somehow the fate.
"My wife is alone out there, Pah, she's pregnant, she has no one in the world. I'm a bad husband for not being able to protect my wife" Martin said, still hiding his face.
"What if something bad happens to my wife and child?" said Martin raising his head and staring fixedly at his Papa face.
"Why can Papa talk like that?" martin's eyes were still flushed with tears.
"Since Papa is sure that if Papa's son-in-law is okay, you don't think anything about your wife" said Papa Adnan.
"Do you know where my wife is?" ask Martin expectantly.
"For the time being Papa doesn't know, but since Elea left this house, papa has told Papa's people to look for her. Unfortunately until now there has been no good news about Elea" to be honest, making Martin's heart more sliced.
"I have to look for him" said Martin bench from his seat.
"Wait" to prevent Papa Adnan.
"Papa knows you're very worried about Elea's condition, papa knows you're worried about Elea's whereabouts" papa Adnan sighed.
"But, calm yourself before you act, if your heart and mind are calm, you will find Elea easier"
"How can Martin be calm whereas Martin doesn't know that Martin's wife is out there!" exclaimed Martin did not accept his Papa's advice.
"Papa knows it's not easy, but other than a husband, you're a father too. Look at your daughter's condition too, she needs you. Papa also did not stop trying to find the whereabouts of Papa's son-in-law" said papa Adnan remembered Martin, he knew if Martin's position was very difficult, he knew if Martin's position was very difficult, but the problem will not be solved if faced with his emotions and attitude grusa-grusu. To solve a problem we must calm down and find a way out, so as not to waste too much energy and time.
"What's wrong with Risha?" confused Martin.
"Find your daughter, you'll know what's going on with her" Papa Adnan suggested. He knew very well if the feelings of his grandson were no less chaotic with the current state of his house. As the senior family head, he must be able to see the situation of the condition of his entire family, he did not want to just focus on looking for Elea but ignored Risha's feelings, didn't the girl currently also need attention? Need someone to hug him and overcome all will be fine?.
Finding Elea was also not an easy matter, and persuading me to return home later would also be more difficult considering how bad the treatment Elea got in the house. It could be that Elea will not want to go back to her family home Hariz, because her mother-in-law firmly forbid Elea to set foot in the house.
"It turns out that in my twilight years, God gave me a long test that I never imagined" Papa Adnan murmured shutting his eyes after Martin came out of his study.
