Princess Reunion Cost
Let's just go

Almost a week has passed. Siti and Batra started to feel bad to continue hitchhiking at Niar's bundo house. While the Halimah bundle still wants to wait for the arrival of Fadli. Siti who had just entered the room, looked at Batra who was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, in the guest room that she and her family occupied in the Bundo Niar house.

Realizing Siti's presence, Batra looked at Siti and smiled at her.

"What are you doing?" Ask Siti, mince words, while sitting next to Batra.

Batra let out a long sigh and looked at Siti closely.

"Ti, how long are we gonna ride in people's houses?" Ask Batra.

Siti fell silent and lowered her gaze.

"Would you like to go back to Jakarta first?" Siti asked Batra again.

"It's not so, but uda Fadli said he wanted to come. Ti, you know for yourself, if Bundo does not want to get out of this house, if uda Fadli has not come," Batra said.

Siti fell silent again and was unable to speak. In fact, uda Fadli hasn't come yet. Even though my father died five days.

"Ti, try to give understanding to bundo. We should not go to Jakarta. If it's been here a long time, it's not the same bad that has a house, Ti."

Siti looked at Batra. His face seemed to endure an overwhelming embarrassment.

"Da, said uda Fadli, he will come tomorrow. From Singapore, he will fly straight here" Siti explained.

Batra again let out a long sigh and lowered his gaze. There is an annoyance that Batra can not hide, which is about the attitude of Fadli who looks so unconcerned with the disaster that befell his parents.

"Uda Fadli why is it like that, Ti? It's her dead parents, why she prefers to hang on for days for the holidays. In fact, he can immediately come the next day and also show his care to his parents," Batra said.

Siti fell silent, then she grabbed Batra's hand and grasped it tightly.

"Maybe uda Fadli has already bought a ticket home and away, and. So it can not be canceled," said Siti.

"If I were him, I wouldn't care about a scorched ticket. I'll try to get back as soon as possible" Batra said.

Again Siti fell silent, enduring her embarrassment.

"Da, I'm sorry Siti's family.." Said Siti, while holding back tears that almost fell on her cheek.

"It doesn't matter, Ti. It's just that, uda wants to convey, uda is not out of thought with the attitude of uda Fadli," said Batra, while rubbing Siti's cheek and looking at his wife carefully.

"Because of this disaster, too, Uda missed the opportunity to rise to office. Once again, Siti's sorry da." Siti's tears, now falling on her cheeks.

"Kok. Already, I don't mind that, Ti. By Allah, I am sincere, Ti. Yes, we don't have to discuss. The problem of sustenance, there are already those who arrange. I believe, if today fails, tomorrow there must be a better chance again" Batra said, grabbing Siti's body and hugging her tightly.

"Ti!" Suddenly, the sound of Halimah's bundo calling Siti from outside the room.

For a moment, Siti looked at Batra and Batra nodded, a sign that he invited Siti to meet the mother of his wife.

Siti went out and found Halimah's bundo.

Samar is heard in Batra's ear, when Halimah's bundo is talking about Batra's self. It was as if the middle-aged woman did not at all look at the struggle that Batra had done for herself and her extended family.

"Ti, your husband doesn't have to stay in this house. We're not good with Niar's bundo. He did nothing, just like the time of living in our house" said Halimah.

Siti was surprised to hear the words of her birth mother. Then he tried to invite Halimah bundo not to talk at the door. Siti was worried, when Batra heard the sharp speech of the mother.

"What's bundo mean?" Tanya Siti who is now in the kitchen, along with her mother.

"Whether he's hitching a ride here? Just make people heavy!" Say Halimah bundo again.

"Didn't bundo feel here also burdensome people?" Ask Siti.

Siti frowned and looked at Halimah's bundo with a look of disbelief.

"Bundo know? Do you think Batra prioritized our family? Bundo can't see that side?" Ask Siti again.

Bundo Halimah let out a long sigh and then snorted in annoyance.

"Why do you stand up for your husband who can't count on anything? Suppose he wanted to stay here, he should have stayed at the hotel and not hitchhiked here. Just be ashamed!"

Siti looks emotional hearing Halimah's bundo speech. After all, what Bundo Halimah was talking about was her own husband. Good and bad Batra, Siti is the one who knows the most about her husband.

Siti shook her head, a sign that she did not believe Halimah's judgment about Batra.

"If Uda Batra leaves, Siti also leaves. If bundo really wants uda to go right now. Let us family go. We are here also waiting for the presence of the beloved son of Bundo! But what is it? Can Bundo's favorite child sacrifice like Uda Batra?"

Siti seemed so emotional that she rounded her eyes, while talking to her mother.

"Why are you scolding bundo? Bundo just doesn't want her here! If you are okay! What is he contributing here?" Bundo Halimah asked, with a tone of voice that sounded no less emotional.

Siti shook her head again. He really did not believe what Halimah bundo told him.

"Uda Batra also gave money to shop for us here bun! Mother doesn't know, does she? Uda Batra is willing to sacrifice her job for the sake of bundo! For our family! Uda Batra is here, not because she can't afford the hotel! But he's here to at least help clean up the debris of our burning house! Lighten the housework in the house we ride! If it's Siti, it's impossible to do it all bun! Especially my beloved child! Did he come when he heard his father died? House burning? He's having fun in people's country, with his family! What a bundo wish that Siti and Uda Batra were like that too!" Siti's voice tone was rising. It seemed that she was no longer able to hold back her emotions and feelings for her mother.

Just now that Halimah bundo was about to reply to Siti's words, all of a sudden, Batra appeared and looked at Siti closely.

"Don't be mad at your mother. You will regret it later. If Bundo wants us to go home, let's go home." Batra Tegas.

Bundo Halimah was silent at the words of her daughter-in-law.

Then Batra moved closer to Halimah bundo and grabbed the hand of Halimah bundo, then he kissed the back of his hand in-laws.

"I say hello to bundo. I'm sorry that my family and I don't have any contribution here. Again, I apologize for my mistakes and for my family" Batra said.

Then Batra grabbed Siti's shoulder and invited his wife to leave the kitchen and return to the room to clean up their belongings.

For a moment, Siti stared at Halimah's bundo. Then he prefers to go with Batra. Because after all, the current one she had to follow was her husband. Siti is a very obedient woman to her husband. Because Batra is able to be loved, fought and also to be respected. There was no mention of Batra as husband, in Siti's eyes. Then there was no reason for Siti to contradict her husband.

Upon arrival in the room, Batra took out their luggage and began to stuff their belongings into the suitcase. Siti no longer questions 'Why? or Why'. But Siti packed up, so she could get out of the house immediately.

After finishing packing, Siti looked at Batra carefully. Then she approached Batra and hugged her husband tightly.

"Where are we going, da?" Ask Siti.

Batra returned Siti's embrace tightly. Then he peeped at the top of his wife's head.

"We can't possibly get a flight at this time. We'd better stay at the hotel for the next two days. We wait for news from the bundo, whether or not uda Fadli comes. And. how uda Fadli's decision." Batra Tegas.

Siti was stunned and styled Batra in disbelief. In fact, in a state of heartache, Batra did not want to leave the Halimah bundle just like that. While there are many reasons for Batra to no longer care for his mother. However, Batra is not like that. Batra prefers to dodge for a while. And re-embrace when he is needed.

Siti couldn't hold back her haru cries. Siti nodded and wiped her tears, staring at the man she married a few years ago.

"Thank you, '" said Siti, in between her cries.

"Oh, don't cry. Let's go, get the kids ready" Pinta Batra.

Siti nodded, and started to come out of the room to call their children who were playing in the yard.

"The best partner is the one who doesn't just make you a part of him. But also make your family, also a part of him." - De'Rini-
