"Mas spent money for your parents, since at the hospital—but instead you take care of everything in this house."
Adji squeezes Juwita's hand gently.
"You take care of things I can't see because I'm busy. I'm looking for money, Juwita, outside. I do a lot of things so that more money goes into my personal pocket but it's only useful once I get home. Get in on you."
Juwita. "Thank you, Mom, but that's not a whimper like a fact."
He seemed to be too tired until he was even reluctant to see all his own efforts. Adji nodded, not forcing anything.
Again Adji grabbed the bowl of noodles earlier, stirring it to mix with melted cheese.
"Mas is honest with you, I married you because of Melisa."
Adji feeds food into his own mouth because he is also hungry, as well as lure Juwita to be hungry.
"Frankly, at that time Mas did not think of getting married. But because Melisa told Mas, her will, would not want to. Maybe just to vent sad Mas at that time."
When Adji brought the food to Juwita's mouth, this time he opened his mouth, accepting it.
"Mas also thought that if you were a child, it was his twenties. Your age with Abhimanyu is only four years. What difference does it make to you as a selfish Abhimanyu?"
Adji rubbed a small stain on the corner of Juwita's lips that moved his mouth to chew.
"Mas who meant you went into this family. Under the pretext of going to save your mother, Mas maksa teenage children become parents of unstable teenage children, crazy tone."
"And I'm not so, '" murmured Juwita. "Neither is true."
"Maybe. Maybe it is." Adji rubbed the woman's cheeks. "But, Juwita, six years—towards seven years, you are still trying to bear your responsibility as Mas's wife."
Adji kissed her forehead softly.
"You've done your business, honey. It's been repeatedly. For years. If it fails, it's not your fault. You can't deny what you've been afraid of for us."
"Did we both be afraid to have problems like this?"
"Yes. Mas dawadirin had model children like Abhimanyu, Banyu, Cetta. Plus three beautiful angels." Adji smile. "Mas was also afraid to spend years living with Melisa, was afraid to let Melisa go, and is now afraid to have a younger and stubborn wife."
Juwita hits Adji's shoulder in response.
"Mas suffered from Abhimanyu thinking" Adji said frankly. "She .. well, every time I think she thinks there is poison in Mas's body that slowly gets stronger. Mas also thought that Mas was cursed for having a child like him."
Juwita immediately cupped Adji's face, rubbing his cheeks as he had done that.
"I know. I know, Mas. That's why I—"
"Reverse."
"What?"
"Reverse" repeated Adji. "Mas loved Abhimanyu but that doesn't mean Mas never felt cursed to have a child like him."
Adji took a breath, exhaling it slowly. His arms now wrapped around Juwita's back, pressing their eyebrows against each other.
"That means old man. Our biggest misadventure is having a child who makes a bad feeling but in the end we love him. But that doesn't mean because dear it tells us the fact we feel bad. You understand?"
"...."
"Old people also have their own feelings, Juwita. Have your own heart. Have your own will. Have their own selfishness. Not that because most of you are patient with children, you so nganggep yourself do not need feelings for yourself."
Adji rubbed Juwita's back.
"Relain Abhimanyu. You didn't steal anything just because he left. Melisa also has no right to be angry with your decision because you are also Abhimanyu's parents. Don't sacrifice your own feelings for unnecessary things."
"But—"
"Abimanyu my son, not you." Adji patted his back. "You can't protest the same decision I made about him. Okay?"
"...." - ".Despite a long silence, Adji felt Juwita slowly nodding.
"I'm not cheating" murmured Juwita in fear. "I'm not cheating at all. Mas, I'm not—"
"Juwita, I believe in you. Always." Adji let go of the hug so that he could look into Juwita's eyes. "Unless you see you are directly cheating, no one will destroy Mas's trust. Don't beat up other people about Mas, Mas also don't frighten others about you."
Juwita.
"The mother's phone will be later." Adji hugged his wife who looked better. "While the kids are with your mom, hm? Calm down first."
"Sorry, Mom."
"Sshh, later. That's business later."
