A full night Arka and Aline could not sleep well because they thought of the house that had now been taken over by socialite Arisan friend Bu Kanti. Arka's heart was so disappointed, considering the house he bought with the results of his hard work for years and deliberately gave it to the mother. However, it turns out that Bu Kanti does not think about her feelings at all, the woman prioritizes pleasure for herself.
The morning was approaching when Aline and Arka heard a noise from the kitchen, Arka's eyes were eye-catching staring at the new wall clock at five in the morning. The man turned his head, looking at the wife who was also looking at him with a confused face.
"Who's cooking in the kitchen, Mom? Could it be Mom?" cetus Aline began to rise from his soft bed.
"Where possible, you know for yourself and that my mother never wants to wake up in the morning. Especially for just cooking food," reply Arka who still keeps a sense of annoyance at the mother.
"Who knows you've really changed now, let's see yuk." Aline pulled her husband's hand to get up and walked towards the kitchen.
It turns out that Aline's guess is right, Bu Kanti seems to be busy cooking by wearing a home negligee and hair that is carried with origin. Instantly Arka was silent, his memory was thrown into childhood memories where the mother had not known the world of socialite and the father was still there. That woman was once a good wife and mother. Who always cooks and takes care of all the needs of her child and husband.
Aline stepped closer to her mother-in-law, "Mother, how early did she wake up?"
Bu Kanti smiled, the woman was completely unaware of the presence of Arka who was also standing near the kitchen door.
"Mom wants to make amends for all of Mom's mistakes, Aline. Forgive the Mother who used to be so bad to you. In fact, I didn't even know you were pregnant this big." Bu Kanti's face looked so guilty, the corner of the middle-aged woman's eyes had gotten wet.
Arka was still silently pecking on the spot, wanting to hear more of the mother's outpouring of heart.
"Easy, Mom. Aline has forgiven everything, just don't repeat the mistake again. From now on I'm staying here with us, soon my granddaughter will be born." Aline clasped tightly onto the middle-aged woman's fingers.
"Thank you, son. I also want to apologize to Arum, I've been too mean to him before."
"Arum just gave birth yesterday, ma'am." Arka's voice made the middle-aged woman slightly tiptoed in shock.
"What Arka? So, Arum is pregnant too?"
"Yes, Mom. But, because Mom's cooking, and Mom's fish soup smell makes me hungry. How about we have breakfast first, after that we talk a lot. But Aline same Mas Arka took a shower first." Aline immediately got the nod from her husband and mother-in-law.
The woman went back into the room with Arka to clean up. Half an hour later the two came back out with a fresher look, approaching Bu Kanti who had just finished arranging her cooking at the dining table. They enjoyed breakfast without a sound. Arka focused on enjoying the mother's cooking that he had not felt for years since the middle-aged woman knew the socialite world.
After eating, Aline helped her mother-in-law clean the dinner table and wash the dishes of their former meals. We then followed Arka who was sitting alone in the family room. The man looked at the mother with a hard-to-understand look.
The man paused for a moment, contemplating everything that had happened. Wanting to be angry, but he also did not have the heart of Bu Kanti who seemed so sorry for all her actions. Wanting to make up for the house was also free, it was already convenient to stay here with Aline.
"Easy, Mom. Arka has forgiven Mom, as long as you do not repeat the mistake again. Stop hanging out with Mom's socialite friends, they just want to plunge Mom." Arka tried to advise the mother not to fall in the same hole.
A smile of instant happiness was painted on the old face that had not been polished make up as usual, "Thank you, son. You allowed me to stay here, I'm so happy."
Aline put her mother-in-law on her shoulder, "Now, don't be sad, Mom's gonna hold a grandchild."
"Oh yeah, it's eight o'clock when Arka hasn't left for work?" asked Bu Kanti who had just realized something.
Arka had long resigned since Johan accident and was busy accompanying Arum. In addition, Arum asks him to take care of Johan's company and caffe.
"Arka has resigned from the old company, Mom. Now Arka takes care of Arum's husband's company and caffe because he was in an accident and went into a coma for months" Arka explained.
"You guys, Arum just gave birth. I want to see him, and I want to apologize."
"Come, let's go, ma'am. All of us brought you some cork fish soup made by Mom. It just so happened that Arum had a cesarean yesterday because the baby was premature." Aline smiled in response to her mother-in-law's request.
"Mother get ready first. Aline, you please prepare fish soup for Arum ya." Bu Kanti breezed into the room after getting a nod from the son-in-law.
Aline immediately prepared soup for the friend. Arka and his wife thought that Bu Kanti would spend a long time getting ready, choosing clothes and polishing thick makeup as before. However, it turned out to be beyond expectations. Ms. Kanti came out of the room wearing a simple robe and hijab. Her face was also left plain without make up. But, it instead made Bu Kanti look graceful and authoritative in the eyes of Aline and Arka.
"Mother is very beautiful" said Arka praising the appearance of the mother.
"What the hell, Ka. This mother is old. Let's go, "take Bu Kanti with her son and daughter-in-law.
Arka started driving her car to the hospital at a moderate speed. The man could not speed because the condition of the morning streets were so crowded. Upon arriving at the hospital, the three immediately took the elevator to the fifth floor where Arum and Johan's new room was located. They deliberately choose to move to a nursery close to the baby's room.
However, after getting out of the elevator. Arka and Arum are surprised by the presence of a long-haired woman who is seen peering into Arum's room.
