"So you're not going to tell people that Laura's your fiance?" Mama Harini makes it clear after having a chat with Rahadyan and Laura at the dinner table. "You're just gonna say Laura temen your decette?"
"Yes, Ma."
Rahadyan answered half the focus. Busy staring at the clock to make sure how long Kalista had been away, and she had not been home.
"Laura agreed too. But Mama don't have to worry, because our decision is only two months at the most."
"Yes, Aunt." Laura smiled gracefully. "Because the proposal for me was also sudden, honestly still need a lot of time for my self-consideration. I hope Auntie is not too heavy as my decision with Rahadyan."
Mama propped up her chin. "Hmmmm," he murmured, thinking seriously. "Not pa-pa either. If Mama never maksa this child marriage cepet. Different from her, she was a big deal. Kasian his wife later."
It was a serious remark that Raynar laughed at as well as Cassandra. But Rahadyan could not protest because her ears caught the sound of the door opening.
Immediately Rahadyan moved, willing to see Kalista who he said today was not excited.
Latifah said Kalista early in the morning made marshmallow chocolate but after so he gave it to Latifah on the grounds that he was suddenly full.
"Home home?" rahadyan asked, seeing her son approaching.
Kalista was surprised to see Rahadyan's presence. But the thing that Rahadyan never expected was that Kalista's eyes suddenly turned red, like they were about to cry.
The boy passed quickly, not answering Rahadyan.
Of course Rahadyan was shocked.
"Girl!"
"I swear I didn't do anything." Agas also looked surprised. "Miss hasn't cried at all since. But it's a bad mood for Miss."
"Where?"
"Miss doesn't tell stories."
Rahadyan felt her emotions suddenly surge.
Wh why? Why did he never make the boy smile? Why did he never once smile at everything Rahadyan did?
Why should his son always cry at the beginning, yesterday also today?!
"Ask."
"I'm sorry?"
Don't just go home and cry!
It all kept strangling Rahadyan, saying that he was not a good father. He's the worst dad in the world because he's never been the reason his daughter laughed!
"Ruler."
Mama's voice forced Rahadyan to turn around, but emotions overwhelmed her until Rahadyan's mind was set aside.
"No need for birthdays" said the man with great emphasis.
Even Rahadyan forgot if he had a guest that is his own future wife.
"She doesn't like birthdays so don't have to make it up. If he wants to go, tell him to go. Let him where he is. Don't go home if he doesn't like it."
"Rahadyan—"
"Calistas are just crying, Ma!" Rahadyan's neck felt like it was going to break. "She was crying every time she came home! He doesn't like me, he doesn't like us! Don't be forced!"
"You think your son would be real if he was let out?"
"When is he really here, huh?" rahadyan replied in anger, until he forgot to keep courtesy to his mother. "When does he really think every day is just squirming me?"
"Mom knows for myself I gave it all to him. I went all the way to Europe, going back and forth here and there just to make him miss me for a little while, but the end I did not matter. Why else be forced?"
"Emang."
Everyone was shocked to hear that voice. The cyst at the end of the stairs stood up, seemingly hearing all very clearly.
"Emang Om doesn't matter to me. Who is Om kira Om? Om guess just because good briefly means Om already proof Om is important?"
Rahadyan felt something sharpen her chest as she spewed out something far different from her own expectations.
"I'm wasting time with you too. Get you out of here."
"Rahadyun!" Harini shouted in shock at her son, but Rahadyan immediately silenced them.
"He's my son! Whatever I want to do!"
