Weni slowly walked into her tant house. He was still thinking about Willy and Rangga. Two handsome men who love Melati.Dan seem to love Melati the same.
Weni was shocked by the presence of her mother and papa.
"Mama. papa. when to come, kok Weni was not informed" Weni hugged her mother.
"Papa has a project in this city, so papa bring your mama. But papa can't stay. Mama will stay here" said papa Weni
"Mama Tumben ngikut papa here. He said he was lazy to this city, a lot of bitter memories, so mama always talked"
"Mama kangen very much the same daughter mama. What are you bringing"
"The bread. was delicious deh ma. Mama wants to try" said Weni and opened the bread packet.
"So dear, you buy where" said mama Weni when she tried bread made by Melati.
"That's my subscription bakery, brother, who has a young and beautiful person. I think Weni's age" said Aunt Weni
"This Weni bought at the bakery owned by Melati Pa. Weni's friend's wife who is papa's acquaintance's child"
"Oh.so this is made by the bakery Melati.If the jasmine that makes must be delicious"
"Indeed papa often eat jasmine cuisine, kok immediately believe that the jasmine that makes must be delicious"
"Of course papa never nyicipin his cooking "
"Oh yes Pa. It turns out that Rangga is Weni's friend and Melati's second husband. Weni met her first husband, her face looks a lot like papa"
"What. "papa said and choked.
"Papa. although delicious do not eat rush dong. Choking on her" Weni said and took a drink for her papa.
"You met Melati's first husband.."
"Yes.why was papa surprised so. I also know my first husband Melati. If it's not Willy's name"
"Hhmmm. papa remember now, what Rangga Melati's husband was the man you once told me about. If you like him, but the guy is so cute" papa said, diverting the conversation
"Already ah Pa. don't tell Rangga. He's already the man's husband"
"You should stay away from Rangga. Don't be interested in a married man. There's no good. You have to share love, share time and attention. And worse, if you don't want to know his first wife you have to hide from the company and the outside world" said Weni's mother, looking at her husband.
"Mama, I can't want to be with Rangga anymore. Besides because he has married also because Rangga never liked me, looked at me more never. He also loves his wife too much, it is impossible to win her heart which is completely for his wife. Instead of eating the heart keep thinking of people who never think for a second, mending looking for another man"
"Good son, you must not destroy the house of Jasmine. Poor boy, there have been many trials of life that he went through at this young age" muttered papa
"Papa like her is very close and knows Melati very well"
"Yes. papa was very close to him.Oh yes papa must say goodbye first. There's still business to do"
"Just sat down, gone again. That's why I used to prefer to study here, because papa is also rarely at home. Once at home sometimes quarrel with mom "
"Papa can only talk, what problems in the family papa can all overcome" said mama Weni
"Ma. I'm not arguing anymore. Weni papa go first yes. "papa said and kissed Weni's head.
After papa left and disappeared with his car Weni returned to approach her mother.
"Mama.why the hell is often angry that Papa will leave. Doesn't papa want to go to work. Papa's business is out of town all"
"No matter what, my dear, I told you that in every household there must be a problem.. "
"Mama, I rarely see mama go to parties or events with papa. If I get married tomorrow, I want to be like Rangga and Melati always friendly wherever they are and always both.. "
"Never be a second wife if you want to be with your husband everywhere"
"Mama is not your second wife.Why papa and mama rarely go together. Ever since I grew up, I've been thinking about it. Why mom and dad rarely perform together. "
"Had Weni. someday papa and mama will tell you why. Now we eat, my mom is hungry. Tomorrow we go. My mother has not been to this city for decades. Everything looks so different.. "
"OK ma. tomorrow I also introduce my mother with Melati my friend's wife. The guy's really nice"
"Ex-wife Willy.. "
"Kok mama immediately remember the name of husband Melati. Mama's memory is sharp too."
"Did he have a child"
"Yes, Melati and Willy's son has one. Her son is so beautiful. I wonder what caused Willy to let go of Melati and her beautiful daughter... "
"You must not interfere too much with people's domestic affairs. And do not get too close to Melati, mama is afraid later you still expect Rangga, if you are still around them"
"Ma. I told you, I can't expect Rangga anymore. He never loved me. I saw for myself that Rangga loved Melati very much"
"It's good if so. Mama reminded me again, you should never approach a married man. Because once you get entangled in his love, you'll find it hard to let go. You will regret for a lifetime if you marry someone's husband and you become a destroyer of someone's household, because you will never feel happiness after you have robbed others of their happiness"
"Mama is like an experienced person"
"Mama just reminds you.. "
"Yes ma. I will always remember and try always to never damage and disturb the happiness of someone's household because I also do not want one day it will backfire on my life"
Mama Weni hugged her child and rubbed her child's head.
"Mama doesn't want you to be a second wife because she doesn't feel good about being second, even though we are loved but we never feel real happiness, we are always haunted by the fear of known old wives and pursued by guilt.And worse is the social sanctions that we can, We are always looked down upon by the public if they know if we are only a second wife.
