Bella walked into her mother's room with an annoyed face. Miss Rosma who was surprised to see the sudden arrival of Bella, was astonished when she saw the upset look so clearly printed on the face of her youngest daughter.
“Why, Bell?” asked Miss Rosmah, still looking after Issabell who was playing roll on the bed while chuckling.
“Your son-in-law is overdue, Mom!” grumbled Bella, choosing to sit next to her mother.
“Why with, Son Bara?” ask Miss Rosmah to be curious.
“He wouldn't let me see Brother Ricko if he didn't come,” Bella.
“Hehehe ... Keep the problem where?” ask Miss Rosmah again.
“Yes, that's the problem. He set my life, Mom,” said Bella upset.
“He's your husband, Bell. He has the right to manage your life if he thinks it is wrong, but if you feel that what he is doing is also wrong, you also have the right to refuse,” explained Ms. Rosma.
“Obviously I refused, Mom,” says Bella.
“According to Mom, your husband is not wrong in this. It's only natural that he won't let you see Ricko,” explained Miss Rosmah.
“Bu, Ricko and I have nothing to do. I plan to bring Brother Ricko and Sister Rissa closer,” explained Bella, whispering. It was as if someone was listening to the conversation of the two of them.
“Do not interfere. Do not set the soul of others. Just think about your home. How is your relationship with your husband. Don't you think I don't know how your relationship has been,” advice Miss Rosmah.
Bella wild. “What do you know about my relationship with Mas Bara,” chirps Bella.
“Mom knows everything, Bell,” said Ms. Rosmah.
"From now on just think about your household. What you have to take care of now is your husband and daughter. Not Rissa,” continued Miss Rosmah, giving advice to Bella.
“Mother is the same as Mas Bara,” grumbled Bella.
Rosmah's mother smiled. “Bell, you're married. Can't be free like a girl, who can do anything. Now there's a husband who will limit you. You can't be as good as it is. Whatever you do, your husband's permission must be,” advice Miss Rosmah back.
Seeing Bella only nodding and not answering, Rosmah continued her advice.
“You just need time. Later .... you will get used to it,” continued Ms. Rosma back.
The conversation halted as Issabell, who had been calm, now shouted in excitement. Play with pillows on the bed.
“Mamii,” call Issabell. The little girl had already dropped her body onto a pile of pillows while laughing.
“Icca, don't be. Falling later. After all, pity Oma ... tired of cleaning it,” pinta Bella after seeing her daughter back piled up pillows and prepared to drop her body back. Just as Bella was about to reach for Issabel's body, Miss Rosmah had already banned her.
“Leave it, Bell ... The name is also children. Most guarded just let it not fall,” said Ms. Rosma.
“Mother, later if it falls, I am scolded by Mas Bara,” said Bella.
“Yes, hence guarded, Bell,” explains Miss Rosmah.
“Icca, come ... Mommy bribed you to just eat on the side porch, yeah. While looking at koi fish,” persuade Bella.
“Mau .. mami,” said Issabell, stretching out his hands and waiting for Bella to hold him.
“Bu, I want to feed Icca first,” say goodbye Bella carried her daughter out of the room. Miss Rosmah looked at Bella with a smile.
“My daughter is already an adult. It was not long ago ..I fed him. Now he has fed his daughter,”, said Ms. Rosmah slowly.

Bella was sitting on a wooden chair, in front of a fish pond while feeding Issabell who was feeding koi fish when Bara came to them.
“That fast, Mas?” ask Bella.
“I have to work, Bell,” Bara said.
Bella sighed. I don't think he's willing to leave Surabaya. There are too many memories here. What else his mother does not necessarily want to come live with them in Jakarta.
“Mas, will I and Icca follow later. Mas first back to Jakarta,” Bella proposal with doubt.
“No, Bell. You and Icca come home with me tomorrow,” firmly Bara, looking at his wife who was feeding a spoonful of team rice into the mouth of Issabell. Bara's tongue is getting used to calling her daughter Icca.
“But, Mas .. I haven't spoken to Mom about your offer, Mas.” Bella reasoned.
“Later tonight I tried to convey it to Mom again. If Mother still does not want, maybe we can find time off and visit here again to persuade mother,” explained Bara.
Bara could see the doubt in Bella's eyes. His wife did not respond to his conversation. Just breathing out repeatedly. I can only smile wryly.
“Don't tell me you mind going back to Jakarta because of that Ricko!” said Bara suddenly.
Bella shakes. “Ti .. no, not because of Brother Ricko.”
“How should I explain it to you, Bell. You are my wife, do not deserve to think of other men,” Bara said, affirming.
“I never thought of another man. I just can't leave Mom alone here. I still want to be with Mom,” explained Bella, stating the reason.
“Later tonight try to talk to Mom if the problem is only in Mom,” said Bara.
It appears that Bara grabbed the tiny body of Issabell and took him to sit on his lap. Bara does not want to argue with his wife at this time. Every word that came out of his lips, Bara was sure to only provoke a quarrel.
“Icca, again see what?” ask Bara.
“Fish," said Issabell funny. His hand pointed towards the fish swimming in the pond.
“Icca likes?” ask Bara again.
“Suka ... Daddy,” replied with a funny and adorable.
“Let's make it at Icca house. Icca want?” ask Bara again.
“Mau," said Issabell advancing his lips.
“If you want to finish your food. Poor Mommy bribed you from earlier not inexhaustible,” said Bara smiling.
“Bell, I'm planning on getting Rissa out of our house. He could live in an apartment or another house. What do you think, Bell?” ask Bara, ask for an opinion.
“Hahs. Why indeed, Mas?” ask Bella.
“I think this is the best for everyone. I'm afraid he's getting disappointed when he sees your closeness to Icca. Don't pretend you don't know. I'm sure, you know everything,” said Bara, looking at his wife.
“I .. I will. Mas better know which is best for Sister Rissa,” said Bella downcast.
She actually prefers Rissa to stay with them, but what her husband says is true. And he had already felt for himself how Rissa had behaved to him since his arrival to Jakarta. His sister changed. Bara may be right, though Issabell is Rissa's biological daughter. It would definitely hurt to see the daughter she had been in for nine months, being born fighting life but thinking of others as Mother.
