Suppressing Ego

Alexa walks with Mama Gayatri down the hospital corridor. After their business was done, they decided to go home.

"If you still want to talk to your friend here, Mama, can go home first, dear." said Gayatri who had seen Alexa happy twinkle when meeting with some old friends.

After marrying Shakti, she has always been the center of attention and conversation among her friends. They yearya, the fate of Alexa who is lucky and always envious without knowing the difficulties he had experienced.

"No, Ma. We'll just go home now. God willing tomorrow they will visit the house." replied Alexa who did not want to let her in-laws go home alone. She chose to always accompany Mama Gayatri.

"Well, if you feel lonely, take them home!" gayatri. He just wanted his daughter-in-law to feel happy and comfortable. The happiness of Alexa and her future grandchildren is the priority of the middle-aged woman.

They spent several hours in the hospital, but there was no word from Shakti. Both decided to go home soon.

Alexa very painstakingly accompanied Mama Gayatri to enter their luxury home.

"Lexa, Mama take a break! Mama's body is tired." said Gayatri when the door to her room was seen from where they stood.

"Mama don't eat first?" ask Alexa.

"Later. Shakti told you?" reject Gayatri.

"Not yet, Ma." replied Alexa with a weak shake. He was also worried about Shakti who could not be contacted.

Just answered Mama Gayatri's question. Alexa's phone voice rang out, the woman hurriedly searched for the flat object inside the bag.

"Mas Shakti, Ma." said Alexa before picking up her phone.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mas." replied Alexa while displaying Shakti's face on her phone screen. Gayatri smiled and gestured if she would go straight into the room.

"Waalaikum salam."

"Why couldn't his phone be reached? What are you doing? All worried, Mas." Alexa's fawning that only Shakti answered with a smile. She was so happy to see that pretty face pouting in worry about her.

"All? Who's worried, Mom?" goda Shakti's. The man was seen inside the room with the projector still on.

"Of course Mama Gayatri, Bi Jum, and the security guard" replied Alexa by showing the look of her face that was embarrassed.

"Are they just? My wife isn't worried, isn't she?" Shakti again teases Alexa, the pregnant woman just smiles with a face that has been blushing.

"Oh yeah, Ay. There is bad news." continued Shakti .

"What, Mas?" instantly the look on Alexa's face stiffened.

"Arkha's mother is sick. He said the pain was serious." said Shakti. He got the news from Arkha.

"Yes Allah... "

"Eat him, maybe some day Mas will be busy, Ay. There are some Arkha that must be handled directly." continued Shakti when he saw the anxious face of his wife.

"But today Mas Shakti came home, right?"

"Yes, Mom, maybe I'll be home early. After lunch, maybe the phone will be off-kan Mas again so that all the work can be quickly completed. Oh yes, you also do not forget to eat, if you need something to ask Bi Jum just." message Shakti. The man tried to keep his wife's attention even though he could not accompany her.

"Yes, Mum."

"Then close it first. God willing, eight o'clock tonight, Mas, we're home. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Walaikumsalam." Alexa's answer ended Shakti's call. That's how Shakti is when there's a lot of work to do. The man no longer has a base.

After getting bad news about Arkha's mother's health. Alexa immediately contacted Hanum. It just so happened that her sister was already at the house of Mama Zoya. Hanum recounts everything, including Zoya and Hans' plans to go with them.

Range Rover cars have started to move away from the city center. Every now and then, Hanum noticed Arkha's face that looked stiffened. In fact, Shakti had already suggested Arkha use an office driver to drive them away, but was turned down by Arkha for uncomfortable reasons.

"Sister, I must be fine." said Hanum, to calm Arkha who looked very anxious.

"I'm scared, honey. I haven't been able to make Mom happy" Arkha said with reddened eyes. The sturdy man could not hide his anxiety.

"Sign up everything's gonna be fine. We just pray a lot." lirih Hanum who is actually also worried about her in-laws.

Flash Back's

"Ma... Mama. "call Hanum straight in looking for her mother's whereabouts.

Hanum went straight to Mama Zoya's house, she was still so upset when she remembered all the sentences that Ms. Arini had thrown when Arkha brought her home.

"Honey, Mama's here." call Zoya by closing her phone. The woman had just searched a google page that contained recipes.

"Ma, Hanum is really upset, Ma. Yes, there are old people who are very happy. If you can choose ogah Hanum has in-laws like that." cerocos Hanum while putting his weight next to Zoya. Zoya just scrunched her eyebrows together, she felt astonished at her daughter who had just arrived and was furious.

"Who, Honey?" zoya asked still trying to digest the conversation with her daughter.

"Of course, my mother-in-law, Ma." ketus Hanum still with her pouting face.

For a moment, Zoya let out a heavy sigh. The woman was thinking about where she would give Hanum some understanding. He also knew that it was not easy to reconcile something that was fundamentally different.

"Darling, there's no harm in giving up. Besides, your husband's parents are also your parents." explains Zoya.

"It's not easy, Ma. Especially if Hanum's emotions are always lured to anger." elak Hanum makes Zoya also understand her daughter's situation. For a moment they were silent.

"Mama knows, honey. When in your position, not necessarily Mama can be patient. But, what power as a child. If you oppose him of course it will hurt his feelings and will make Arkha go awry."

"Arkha the boy. Until whenever he has full responsibility to his mother." continued Zoya.

"Then Hanum has to, Ma. Hanum feels really lazy to meet Mother-in-law." lirih Hanum. The girl already dislikes something she can't really talk about.

"Honey, don't hold grudges or animosity. It just shows your arrogance. No matter how haughty a person you remain human, you cannot do anything without His will." Zoya tries to carve out a smile trying to make her daughter feel unwelcome to keep her grown daughter feeling.

"Whatever happens she's Arkha's mother, it means she's your mother too, whether you admit it or not. Studying adults, this is when you can understand and be devoted to parents." continued Zoya. He didn't want to force Hanum, because it wasn't easy.

"Hanum will try to understand, Ma." replied Hanum.

"thank you. Mama always prayed you'd always be a good son and wife." Zoya hugged her daughter. Hopes are high so that Hanum can deal with this problem with wisdom. Equally learn to be more thoughtful in dealing with problems.

Flash On

"Num, are you hungry?" arkha asked as she heard the voice of her wife's stomach. Hanum just smiled and nodded because he did not dare to invite Arkha to stop by for a meal.

"But, I can hold it if, Brother Arkha, wants to quickly meet Mother." - timpal Hanum as Arkha glanced at his wife along with the speed of his car that swallowed. Arkha increasingly understands that his wife is actually a sensitive personal type.

"We're going to eat. I don't want you to get sick." Arkha said as she found the closest restaurant to them.

Since then drizzle along the way their journey. The rainy season makes the weather almost every day covered with cloudy or rain. With a small run Arkha opened the car door for Hanum. They also ran to the restaurant in the rest area.

Arkha still clasping Hanum's cold hand, the man only realized his wife's face looked paler. They chose a seat after ordering some drinks and food.

"You sick, Num?" arkha asked with a close look at his wife's face.

"No, Brother. I just haven't eaten, we slept for a while last night, plus I have to finish my college and cafe business which happens to be a hassle." explained Hanum.

Arkha cupped his hands together and rubbed his wife's cold cheeks with his thumb. There is a sense of haru and affection that is increasingly stirring with the attitude of Hanum who always accompanies him.

"Sorry, Arkha's sister is so anxious that she doesn't notice your condition" Arkha said.

"I'm fine, brother." replied Hanum.

Then a servant brought their order. Hanum stopped their conversation and immediately ate some food.

They do not want to linger long in the rest area, after spending their meals and drinks. Arkha again embraces his wife walking into the car. After putting the seat belt on, Arkha went back in and sat behind the wheel. The man grabbed the jacket in the back seat and put it on Hanum's tiny body.

"You just sleep. I have no problem driving alone." said Arkha. The man had always treated Hanum with care. That's what made Hanum fall in love with that loving man.

"Papa's car has started to approach our car" Hanum said and then hung up his phone. He had just seen the position of his papa's car.

Hans and Zoya could not leave together with them as there was still work the middle-aged man had to complete. Hans decided to go with the driver to catch up with them.

"You've been sleeping. We will continue our journey." said Arkha. After gently stroking his wife's head, the mature man also reapplied his car.
