While eating, Mami invites Lani to talk. About family and also about Lani personally.
"Dad I'm just a hauler, Mi. For that I help the family by trading," said Lani.
"It's okay, son. Whatever work is undertaken, halal origin just do it. Don't be shy. Even Mami salutes you, can help the family economy."
I'm sorry aunt, I had to lie to my job. Aunt and Yudha would be disgusted if they knew what my job was. However, one day I have to be honest with Yudha. Whatever will be his choice.
"Mommy insinuates me who can only ask for money?"
"No, Honey. Mami even wants you right now to just focus on your college. After graduation, help Papi in the company."
"Don't mention the man's name. I wouldn't be working in the company if he was still in the lead!"
"Don't say that, Yudha. He's your Papi."
Although Manda has decided to separate from Jefri, he still teaches his son to be polite to parents. Manda did not want his problems with Jefri, his son Yudha was carried away and interfered. Manda wants the father-son relationship to remain good.
"I don't want to admit Papi anymore. He hurt Mommy. What is the Lack of Mommy as a Wife. Mami's loyalty is avenged by betrayal!"
Yudha spoke with a bit of emotion. Lani who heard it, began to understand the problem of Yudha's family. So this is what caused Mami and Yudha's face to change when she mentioned her Papi. It was because the man was cheating.
Lani took her breath. He remembered the Jefri family. In her heart Lani said, surely the Jefri family would curse her if they knew she was the mistress of the man.
"Dear, take care of your emotions. Shame on Lani. Must be thinking badly of Papi."
"Bapies do have bad qualities. What's covered for again, Mi. Lani will also know who Papi is someday."
My mom can only catch her breath. He understood Yudha's disappointment. Since the last 3 years, her husband has not had time to just talk.
Maybe people who think, Manda a stupid woman who wants to accept whatever Jefri does. However, no one knew that Jefri had sacrificed for him.
When Manda was pregnant with Yudha, her husband died. Manda's life is fucked. His world feels collapsed. At that time, he met Jefri. Jefri's attention made Manda so excited again.
They married when Yudha was one year old. After marriage Manda's business outside the city flourished. Until they moved. It was in this city that Yudha was brought up and no one knew that Yudha was not Jefri's son.
Manda's womb was forced to be removed during Yudha's birth because of heavy bleeding. Manda is forced to keep all this a secret, fearing Jefri refuses to marry her.
"Don't you think that Lani would be afraid of having a serious relationship with you after knowing Papi's bad behavior?"
Yudha thought about what her mother said. He'll be afraid of connecting with her after he finds out about Papi. The woman must have been afraid that Yudha would behave the same way.
"Lani, even though Papi I'm a loser and a traitor, don't be afraid. I'm not the same as him. I won't hurt a woman because I saw for myself how Mami suffered since Papi cheated on her!"
Yudha looked very emotional. Lani imagines what Yudha has in mind if she finds out she is also the mistress of a grown man.
"I wouldn't think so, because human nature is not the same. It all depends on each person."
"Thank you, Lan. It's not that I want to compare Papi to me or praise myself but I just want to convince you that I love a woman, I won't turn away unless the woman herself wants our relationship to end."
Mom doesn't know what to say. I was so excited to see and hear his son. He was proud that his son could be a better person.
"I promise I will never cheat on my partner. The pain that Mami felt for Papi's betrayal can also be felt. I won't forgive Papi if it's been proven that he has a mistress all along. I'll do the math with the mistress!"
Hearing Yudha's words, Lani who became nervous. Afraid all his rottenness is exposed. Lani will tell Jefri if she wants to end their relationship.
