Robert pulled down his mother's bedroom door handle. From where he stood, he could see the narrow back of his mother staring out the window. The woman who was pregnant was seen watching someone from there. Robert could guess, Jenita was looking at the departure of Louis and Angel out there.
Robert stepped in. The sound of the squeaky rubber sole worn by Robert made Jenita inevitably turn to the side of the shoulder to know who came. It is impossible Hutama because the man is abroad and scheduled to go home no more than Wednesday.
“Mama has eaten?” robert began the conversation.
Jenita was silent and did not answer. He looked out the second floor window. Out there, he could clearly see Louis and Angel getting into the car, then leaving his house. Robert's guess, right?
“Why didn't you bring Rebecca here?” jenita asked to switch the topic. In addition to changing the direction of the conversation, Jenita is indeed missing her first grandchild. It's been almost a week Rebecca hasn't visited him.
Robert approached, he took a distance not too far from his mother standing, then put his palm in his pants pocket. Follow staring out the window that now there is no view of anything other than a spacious yard filled with ornamental plants and a garage filled with several luxury cars papa collection.
“Stefany took Rebecca to her parents' house. Earlier before coming here, Robert himself was among them.” replied Robert explained to the mother why he did not invite his daughter to visit here. Hopefully, that answer made her mother believe and not suspect her plan with Louis.
Jenita breathed a heavy sigh. His two sons, whom he loved so much, had a different path. Robert who can make him give blessing quickly, while Louis, Jenita too heavy to take off the youngest child. He didn't want to lose Louis in his life. He loved his youngest son too much because in the past, Louis was the most courageous to speak to defend him in front of his father who was then beginning to falter.
Jenita still remembers, when Louis who very boldly said out loud would take Jenita away from home, and vowed to make her father regret if he did not stop making her mama sick. He still remembered how his son fought for himself desperately.
“Mam, Louis just want mama to appreciate her choice.” said Robert. “Then, he accepted and tried to make mama believe him, although in the end, he had to be willing to separate from the woman he loved so much without us knowing the reason he was hiding because he gave up.”
Jenita murmured inwardly because she knew exactly why Louis had separated from Caca, unbeknownst to family members.
“You already know the reason mom used to, and now, Rob. So do not try to seduce mom for this one thing.” said Jenita in a calm tone of voice. “Mama doesn't want your sister to fall in the wrong woman's hands.”
Robert looked at the face of his mother who was still beautiful at the age of half a century. “Angel good mam. He is also a believer in us. Moreover, what to consider from—”
“Originally his family. Then the family of the woman can drop the reputation and good name of your father. You want, our family is a conversation many people out there just because mama made the woman's daughter-in-law mama?” ketus Jenita starts to get emotionally difficult. “Mama knows, Louis will not stay silent if mama continues to reject him. For that, mama let him think and make his own decisions after hearing what mama said earlier.”
Robert lowered his head. It seems his mother doesn't know how much Louis meant to Angel.
“Mam, Louis will not change his decision this time.”
Robert's words managed to make Jenita stare fixedly at her son. There was a heartbeat that felt faster while waiting for Robert to finish his sentence. Various fears also suddenly appeared in Jenita's mind, but she neatly hid all of them from her flat facial expression.
“Louis will still marry Angel, even without the blessing of mama.”, Robert continued. “For that, please give Restu to both of them. To keep Louis and Angel's life quiet, mam. Restu is do'a, mam. This is for the good of your son as well.” pinta Robert is still trying to change the direction of Jenita's hard heart to soften.
Jenita threw her face the other way. His eyes began to glaze over. His heart was slashed when he imagined Louis would prefer her over him.
“No. Mama would never do that.”
“Mam, please. Give them a chance to prove if what they choose, is the best for both of them.”
Jenita silent. He just stared out of the gate, where Louis had gone past.
“Mama will give you blessing, if the woman is not Angel.”
Jenita is still stubborn and does not want to change her decision not to give her blessing even though they are both. Robert was almost desperate to hear the stubbornness of his own mother who did not want to understand about Louis' situation.
***
Juanda Airport was very bright this morning. Louis rushes to the trunk to retrieve his and Angel's luggage, then pushes out the two suitcases with Angel's steps toward one of the airport's exits.
“My mom is waiting for exit two, he said.” said Angel after checking the contents of the message that just entered a few seconds ago on her phone.
Giara also enthusiastically welcomed his daughter who has not returned home for almost three years. In addition, he was also curious about the figure invited by the princess to come home who would be introduced to him as a prospective husband. Yes, Angel has told me that she is going to marry a man named Louis who works in an office with her. Just a short story, but able to make Giara's heart pound.
When both managed to get out of Exit two which had become the center of attention of many people because of their visuals, Angel easily found the figure of the mother. The woman came to the airport, driving her own private car.
“Mam.” call Angel tight make Giara and some others turn their heads. Angel waved her hand and ran over to her mother, then hugged her tightly because she missed.
“Wah, why are you getting beautiful gini after all dear?” giara said with his typical Surabaya medok log in Angel's arms.
“Mami can aja.” replied Angel then took off the hug and distanced himself from Giara.
“This—” asked Giara, pointing at Louis who had just arrived in front of him with two suitcases in his hand.
Angel turned her head, then smiled and grabbed Louis by the wrist to stand beside him. “It's Louis, would-be ghost mami.”
Giara peeked, noticing Louis' casual appearance from toe to head. He is a boutique owner, so he knew what and how expensive the man standing by his daughter's side was without having to ask the price of the thing hugging the sturdy and gallant body of the man named Louis.
Louis' arms outstretched, Rolex watches caught Giara's sense of sight. This ex-pilot, not just anyone. Even the watch alone, can be made to buy a house or open a business with big capital.
“Louis.” said introduce yourself. While Giara was busy himself judging who Louis was, gasped and laughed awkwardly.
“Ahahah, I am Giara, her mom is Angel.”
The two shook hands and spoke little pleasantries until Angel decided to take her home and continued the conversation at home.
“Let me drive, aunt.” said Louis who was asserted by Giara while handing over the keys to his Fortuner car.
Angel and Giara entered first, and Louis was still busy stuffing two suitcases into the trunk of the car. After that, the three of them slid towards the Giara residence which was located in one of the medium cluster residential areas not far from the airport.
“You work one office?”
“Yes, mam.” Angel replied and let Louis focus on the path indicated by the map.
“Then, when will you do the blessing?”
Louis and Angel looked at each other for a moment, then Louis smiled warmly.
“Day Saturday, this week, Tan?” this time, Louis gave the answer.
Giara frowned. So suddenly? Was there an incident?
“Why suddenly? Has something happened between you?” asked Giara began to look around and assess the gelagat both of them are very very calm so that he could not guess at all what the two people are hiding in front of him.
“I mean mami, what kind of incident was it?” angel began to disagree to see the mother's probing gaze. “We do nothing. And if you think Angel pregnant out of wedlock, mami is wrong.” his sergeant straighten out assumptions that may be filling the brain of the mother.
“I love and love Angel sincerely, Auntie. For this reason I decided to ask for it immediately.” explained Louis who made Giara breathe a sigh of relief because Angel did not do anything strange to cause something that would worsen his name. “Ya, although there is indeed one thing that makes us Want to not want to accelerate the wedding plan.”
“We will tell my mother, later at home.” said Angel full of tenderness and sad gaze, hope her mother loves, give her blessing without having her and Louis add to the burden of struggle for their love. []

Anyway, How will Giara's reaction later when he knows Angel and Louis can not be blessing from the Louis family, huh?
