The feeling that had begun to calm down, now felt back pounding after hearing Erna's words. The woman guessed, the future-in-law no longer liked her. Yasmin thought it was natural for a mother to suddenly find out that she would marry a woman far from her child's age. How will he answer that question? That's not. How will he answer? What calls should be used?
“New seven weeks, Tan ... te.” Yasmin was hesitant about the call.
The arrogant woman who was folding her hands on the chest, scrunched her forehead. It felt strange when the woman before him called out with the name 'tante.' Erna feels more worthy to be a sister if she remembers their age. Erna took her breath. Be calm, that's what he needs now. He did not want Eza to rebel again and leave him. Accepting the woman of Eza's choice is the only way.
"Before we talk about marriage. Do I want to know your origin?"
Yasmin's hand was held quickly. Makes Yasmin look at him. Eza gestured, let him answer. "Ma, Eza told you before. Yasmin is from Jakarta, she's just a regular doctor and lecturer here."
Erna suddenly glared at the son. "Mama didn't call you, Eza. Let the woman answer for herself!"
"Ma .. soften her voice. You can surprise Yasmin." Adhitama reminded his wife. He's in the conversation. "Yasmin, om and Aunt want to know about your family. Because Eza hasn't told me everything. This marriage must also be performed by both parties." The man glanced at his son, then looked at the expressionless Yasmin.
"Yas—"
"Let him answer." Erna instantly cut in when Eza wanted to answer Adhitama's question.
Eza whispered to Yasmin. "Senja, don't be afraid. Just answer what it is."
Hearing that, Yasmin also sat. "I'm not afraid, Sky. Hiss I want to answer you first. Haohh …."
Erna was impatiently waiting for an answer from Yasmin. "You already know, right, my terms. So anyway, I'm not gonna help your finances."
"I understand, Auntie. La ... Eza also explained. He already wants to take responsibility, I am very grateful.”
Yasmin only knew about Eza's parents not preparing for the wedding. So he agreed, there was no problem for him regarding the cost of the wedding. Although eza did not offend before, he already understood by himself. However, Erna's next words made Yasmin think.
"Good, so you won't take advantage of what we've got." Erna took something from under the table. "I wouldn't believe it just from speech. Sign this deal."
A clear map was placed onto the table. Adhitama and Eza were surprised when Erna mentioned the deal, and signed.
"What is that, Ma?" ask Eza, then take the map. There is a piece of paper that says the covenant on it. "What is this deal?"
The paper he read. Eza did not expect, his mother would think of this way to make things difficult for him. That condition has been accepted, but what should be with an agreement like this? And the signature on the stamp?
The map in Eza's hand suddenly changes hands with Yasmin. The woman took it and read it. Erna and Adhitama whispered on the other side.
“What agreement, Ma? When did you get all this ready?”
Only a headband can Adhitama give. Nothing yet, Erna was already suspecting Yasmin. The woman he has married for more than 25 years is more concerned with her big name.
After reading point by point on that agreement. Yasmin looked a little surprised. The first point until the third point he could still understand. There is no assistance in the cost of marriage, the presence of the Eza family, and Eza takes full responsibility whatever will happen after the wedding. However, the last point he read, really made him feel a little guilty. Eza's lectures were no longer financed, and all facilities were revoked. That is, Eza will really have trouble after marrying her.
Yasmin felt able to take over the cost of Eza's education. However, his heart felt guilty that he had to be exiled from the family. Things like this will be very difficult for Eza who does not have a permanent job.
Yasmin bowed with a changed face. Eza noticed that. “Senja, you why?” tanyanya whispers. He knew Yasmin must be thinking about the last point.
“Sky, sorry. You will experience something like this after meeting me.”
“Senja, what are you saying. Meeting you is my greatest happiness. Don't think about the deal. We'll definitely pass it together. I won't let you live to suffer.” Eza clasped his lover's hand tightly.
Hearing Eza's sincerity on him. Yasmin felt sure of what she was thinking during the trip. Previously, he had decided to keep his identity secret to everyone. Even Eza hasn't told you at all. But now, what's wrong with showing the truth to Eza and the two men's parents. That way, Mama Eza does not have to worry about anything else even though he has signed a deal.
“Why are you silent? You do not accept with the contents of the agreement?”
Slowly Yasmin raised her head. His eyes look calm. “I'll sign, Aunt.” Yasmin took out the paper from the map, then placed it on the table.
“Senja, you don't need to sign. The agreement is absolutely unnecessary.” Eza feels ridiculous in the way his mother uses this way.
“Nothing, Sky. Mama you want it like this, we have to follow it,” Yasmin said casually.
The woman smiled as she took out a box from inside her bag. The box contained a pen that was only used to sign important files. Yasmin always took him because when necessary. In its working principle, it must use a special pen to honor an agreement.
The paper he signed without hesitation. Erna was surprised by what Yasmin was doing. More precisely he was shocked after seeing the thing that Yasmin was using. He glanced at the box. As a career woman who used to relate to important people. In a bit he understood with high-priced items. Judging from the brand of the pen, clearly he knows the price. Made abroad and if paid more than two million rupiah.
“Who is this woman actually. She has such a expensive thing, of course she is not an ordinary woman,” Erna muttered in her heart.
The atmosphere seemed silent as Yasmin carefully scratched the questioner. Erna with a face full of her tan mark Adhitama with an expression that could do nothing. Eza just silently accepted Yasmin's statement.
“This, my Aunt has signed.” Yasmin handed the paper over after she put it back in the folder. Then put the stuff back in the bag.
However, just as Yasmin was about to save it, Erna stopped. “That thing is original?” That question made Eza and Adhitama frown.
Yasmin calmly showed Erna her things. “Of course aslin, Aunt. Please check yourself.”
Erna felt her self-esteem drop if she did that. “No need. Tell me, who are you?”
