"Dino.." Ratih held the hand of his son who was tidying up the eating utensils he had just used. For almost three days, his son had not returned home. He ate and changed clothes in the hospital. Naomi also never came to the hospital to visit him. A pile of work from the office brought Dino to the hospital. After accompanying him, Dino immediately did office work. What's going on at home? Did he have a fight with Sharon? Is he having problems not coming home? Or did Sharon disappoint Dino again? Ratih kept guessing about his son's condition.
"You didn't come home? Domi and Milka aren't looking for you?" Ask.
"Ma. everything is safe. Naomi's keeping them at home. At 7 o'clock after they learn I'll video call them. Mama want to talk to them too?" He answered calmly, tidying up the mattress and pillows for Ratih.
"Naomi didn't look for you? Doesn't she intend to visit her mother-in-law." Ask again annoyed. Dino turned around, "Mama said in-laws? Mama already recognized Naomi as a daughter-in-law? I asked Naomi not to come here. I don't want Anfal's mom to see Naomi. I want you to get well and go home soon. If you still don't like Naomi, I'll move out of the house. We're going back to the condominium."
"You're gonna leave mom alone?"
Hearing that made Dino sad, He sat down beside Ratih. "Ma.. Dino never left mom. Dino, will accompany you on weekends, every day before going home Dino will go home to dinner with mom, Gimana?" Dino then went to continue his work. Dino asks Ratih to lie down.
Ratih continued to look at her son, Am I too selfish as a mother? Dino has to do it all for me. "Dino, mama wants to talk to you" she called again in agitation.
"Mama.. want to see your granddaughter." Not wanting to make her mother wait, she immediately took her phone and contacted Naomi. "Dino doesn't want that mama." Added. "Then, what do you want mama? tomorrow I'll have Naomi take the kids here." she said.
"Dino, tomorrow ask Naomi to accompany mama here with your children. Kasian if only to drive." Dino who was almost attached to the bench. Suddenly glancing at Ratih, he could not believe what he heard. "Mama just wanted to see Naomi?" ask stammered. Repeatedly repeating it again, he was afraid of hearing wrong. He was afraid that this was just an illusion he had created.
"Yes, Dino. Mama wants to see Naomi..." Her speech. "Mama, thank you ma." He hugged Ratih. "Ma, thank you for accepting Naomi. Thanks ma..." Hugged Dino tightly. She immediately contacted Naomi. Naomi is also enthusiastic, in running straight to the kitchen to cook food for her in-laws. He was too enthusiastic to panic, he always asked what could and should not be eaten by Ratih.
"Din, I'm so happy I don't know where to start." Naomi said crying haru. He did not expect this day to come.
"Tomorrow don't forget to come the same, children." Her speech.
"Dino, this is real, right?" Naomi kept asking.
"It's real Naomi. We'll go through it all together. Nom, I miss you. I want to hug you right now." They miss each other who are treated only through a video call. "I miss you too Dino." The reply.
Thank God, my family will finally be together. Thank you for opening the door of my heart and also for strengthening Naomi through this.
Ratih opens his heart to accept Naomi's presence. Naomi helps take care of Ratih, accompanying him in the Park while talking casually accompanied by her grandchildren.
"Domi is very similar to Dino when she was a child. Milka too." Ratih said seeing Dino surrounded by her children. "Domi was really the same hobby and his favorite with Dino." Naomi added, she was sitting next to Ratih's wheelchair.
"Your mom used to remember the first time, Dino told me you were dating. You guys first met, Junior High?" He started to reminisce again. At that time, Naomi did not look like she is now. Naomi is still geeky. That day when he and Hendrik came home from abroad he accidentally saw Naomi coming out of her house crying she was wearing a toad dress jeans and a long-handed striped t-shirt inside. Ratih then asked Dino who was crouching while stroking a piece of paper in front of the house still using a complete school uniform. Looks like he just got home for the school race.
"Ma... Milka lied to ma. Not a love letter." He then threw away the paper he had picked up. He squeezed it out and tore it apart so that Ratih would not know. "Milka is so fussy about you." Said Dino annoyed, even more upset because Aunt Dina followed his teasing.
Dino is a calm person, but if he faces something that makes him angry he will vent it on taekwondo or samsak. Every night, Dino always hits his sam, "Nyebelin! Nyebelin, why the hell the same way Sammy!" Said continuously. "She likes me." He said again annoyed. Train deliberately eavesdropped and listened to everything, he also saw on his schedule board Dino there was a love letter that used to be torn and torn attached there. He knew his son was beginning to know love.
Finally, he could see Naomi's face. When he came to Dino and took her to the amusement park. At first Dino did not want to, but he was the most effort when ready. He's gonna change his suit. Since being with Naomi, Dino began trying new things such as riding a bike, carrying supplies, and leaving school early.
"Well, what's the mama's son doing?" Ask. Dino then smiled shyly, while showing her paintings. "I'm painting my girlfriend ma, her name is Naomi." He also showed me his picture. "This is the girlfriend of your child, your taste is unique as well. Glassy eyes, braids of hair. The style of the dress is also unique." Ask Ratih.
"He's different ma..." Reply Dino really likes Naomi.
Ratih smiled seeing how happy Dino was at that time. "Dino really likes you, Nom. He said you were different." Added Ratih.
"I also really like Dino, Ma."
"Then why did you leave him. You let her suffer until she takes the surrogate mother line to have children." Reply Ratih quite striking.
"Ma... I admit I was wrong. I will not justify myself. But, Milka's my son. She made me a real mother. I beg you to forgive me ma."
"You should have left after we met that day. Should've..."
"Ma. the child I bear, Dino's biological child. Domi's mom's granddaughter..." Strictly denied. She knelt down and begged him to give her a chance. Ratih, tell Naomi to keep her attitude.
Throwback 6 years ago,
Naomi stood in front of Dino's house while protecting her stomach, it rained heavily. "No, open the door." he begged Mr. Donny for the security guard at the house.
"Non, I don't dare. Madam forbade us to open the door."
"Dino! Dino!" His shouting. Before long, Ratih came out carrying all the clothes Naomi left behind. He snatches Naomi's phone and destroys it.
Naomi! Dino's not here. Don't bother my son anymore. Unsatisfied you almost made Dino lose his life. Ratih pushes Naomi down in front of her house. Ratih then closed the door and did not care for him even though it was a big rainy day.
"Awuu!" Naomi complained of pain. "Dino..sorry me.." still whimpering in pain.
