~JOHANA POV~
*****
I looked at my sister Jansen who had just said that she had a boyfriend and was intending to cancel the matchmaking mama arranged for her. It's like dejavu. I remember seven years ago when I rejected my mother's matchmaking discourse because I had my own choice, Maruli.
If you remember that, I still feel sad for the reason you said. "Mama refused, she is not comparable to you, want to be fed what you later. Anyway mama refused and kept Ardy's choice."
I hope Jansen is brave too this time. I support him to choose his own choice. Too often he succumbs to the wishes of parents, his life is not free because everything he has is the choice of my parents.
"Till any time you won't agree!" mama said as we sat together. Since Jansen told the truth to all the family members in this house, many efforts were made to attract Jansen back. I salute my sister, because she arranged a meeting with the Mira family - the candidate she wanted - and expressed her rejection there.
"That girl must have a use, Jansen must have been a pellet!"
I remember, back when I insisted on staying with my girlfriend Maruli, my mom said that too. *"You must have been in the same pellet as Ruli." *What do you think your mama fell in love with each other is because it's in a pellet?
"Mira, the perfect girl Mira, is rejected by Jansen. My God, my son must have been surrounded by black clouds. Please God, keep my son away from that pellet girl named Ayu." Mama still nags even if I don't respond.
"Ihhh..." Mama gave a furious expression while looking at me. I know, mama would say, 'all this is because of you.' Jansen followed in your footsteps who fought Mama! Nyesal Mama give your blessing to you!'. But not spoken because there is no use either. I am immune to words like this. Words of rejection even directly and consciously mama often expressed her dislike for my husband despite living together for seven years.
"Sorry, Ma!" I said quietly and with a shady smile full of apologies.
*****
For several months Jansen became an enemy of the family. I don't know what to do. If I openly support, then I will become an enemy of the family and maybe even a husband, because by not knowing shame, my husband even supports my mother. It's a supportive or action-packed love sycophant, I don't know. Obviously, with him not being so neutral, I consider him a traitor.
Despite being an enemy of the family, Jansen remains at home. Dating his girlfriend named Ayu is also not often. What kind of dating it is only met once a week or even twice a week. Previously people would understand if different island, only different cities that travel no more than two hours.
I'm sure my sister is really in love. Every day his face is shining. Especially if at night when he sits on the balcony of his room or sits in the gazebo near the pool behind the house. I know why he is so because he is connected to his girlfriend via phone.
"Do you see any change from Jansen, right?" ask the husband of the traitor of fate beside me.
"Look!"
I looked at my husband, waiting for his answer to continue.
"She's really in love, Ney!" continued my husband who I think is still cut into pieces.
"I salute him because he dared to fight Mama. Your writing is her, Mrs, Hehehe." he continued again as I scrambled my newly combed hair.
"I'm still upset with you because yesterday you followed my mom saying you didn't agree. You forgot your fate before. Yes, Mom!" This is a chance for me. I need to get out the junk that's inside my head.
"I don't disagree, just if you have asked and immediately looked at it, I can't auto fight, Mrs. You know how my mom has been like me. Instead of getting hated and put all this because of me, mending in front of mama, I said yes. I don't agree."
Poor my husband dad. I became mewek. I walked towards her and immediately hugged her. The love and affection I have. Provides a sense of comfort for him in the house that feels suffocating.
I said strangling, not because it was spooky. I said that because one of the bosses in this house, my mama, is still cynical about my husband.
"I love you, I love you, I'm sorry well, I can't fight mama let us separate the house from them."
"Dear you too, love you too. It's okay, I know mama's just a prestige to say love to me. Actually mama has accepted me, but maybe prestige." he said with a chuckle.

"It's okay if you don't accept it, it's better than pretending!"
I wanted to slap Jansen when she doubted my sincerity towards Ayu. That day he came home with a face full of despair and finally told mama to continue her matchmaking plan.
My insensitive mother was immediately excited and made a thousand plans. Mama did not see how desperate Jansen was when she said that Ayu had given it up for the happiness of my family, especially Mama.
I really can't stand the sight of an increasingly selfish mama and an increasingly depressed Jansen. I intend to meet Ayu and several times rejected by reason of being busy at the office.
"Busy in the office, busy what? I think you're your boss' secretary!" dumelku on the phone that displays Ayu's message. because it can no longer be refused continue, I finally went to his office and found him. I gave him some advice and slaps of words to wake him up and encourage him to keep fighting with Jansen.
"I'm mad. Very angry with you, because you concluded something just because you saw without hearing what we were talking about even without knowing why we could be together," I said with a sharp look. Ayu who I stared at immediately lowered her head with a flat face.
"Are you really willing and able to marry another woman? Mira still open the opportunity!" I said and I saw him faintly shake. The bucins are not sane.
"If you don't want to, why did you dump Jansen?" ask me then I snorted because I remembered what Ayu's reason was.
"Ihh. kesel me. Our admonition is just plain angry, but afraid of Jansen bersamuk!" my tirade that still spills every remember what was the reason he withdrew from the war that was just starting.
"Sorry ka, but Yuyu emang feels very guilty right look kaka and her mother brother like cherry Mira. Yuyu thought, Yuyu was too selfish to bring Jansen away from you.
What Yuyu? Is this the call of dear Jansen? Gemes you guys.
"That's because we're old acquaintances. And we're grown up. This is no big deal for a hostile."
(.....)
"Meet Jansen, I think he's going to die because of you!" I continued and he nodded.
"You guys well, like a labil tau. Be a little upset!
Ayu a.k.a Yuyu blushed hearing my ridicule.
*******
Looks like something good happened. Look Jansen's already starting to be radiant. Is Yuyunya trying to reverse it? Good deh. It's time to wake up my mom.
"Ma, can Jo give you an opinion?" I asked slowly as my mom and I sat on the couch in the living room. Mama glanced at me as if asking what the hell opinion was.
"Jo apologize well, Ma, for defying mama first. Sorry because Jo's move couldn't fit my mom. Because of Jo, Jansen is fighting mama," I said slowly as I took her hand.
"Ma, Ayu is a good girl. From the first time he met her yesterday, Jo could deduce she was a nice and fun girl. Mom open her heart. How would you feel if this happened to your mom? Jansen said she wanted to continue the match with Mira, but not with her heart. Mama can see the twinkle of her eyes. Please mama's sensitive a little."
As much as possible I conveyed it slowly so that my mother was not offended. I just want my mom to be more sensitive to our feelings for her kids.
Thanks, because my mom is a little bit soft. He wants to lower his ego. Hopefully with Ayu invited dinner at home is the door that has been opened for Jansen and Ayu. It's still just a gap, but it's incredible.
