Red Turned White Rose
*Episode 31

"Well, but her attitude was the same as turning my luck into no luck. Because I couldn't have grandchildren until I was so old as I am now."

When Papa Rawan was busy with his happiness, Mama Rahan was very upset at this time. He, who was talking to Winsty in the back garden, didn't look all right.

"Tante can't help you, Win. You know for yourself how Rawan is, don't you? He's loud. So hard that aunty as a mama can't manage her life."

"But I've been patient for a long time, aunt. Lookie! What is the reward of the patience I have. Instead of getting Brohan's brother, I have a rival now."

"From the beginning you had a rival, Win. But you're ordinary, aren't you? Why are you like a cat that fires its tail? When you heard that Rawan had come with a bouquet of flowers for Rita's adopted granddaughter, you seemed so agitated."

"How not to get agitated, auntie? Kan aunty herself who said that things related to the old man would be very happy for Rahan. Well, now, that woman came from oma Rita, didn't she?"

Mama Rahan was silent. Actually, she did not care who would marry Rawan. Promise, Rahan is happy and can give him a grandchild as Papa Rahan had hoped before.

But when I remembered about Rita, an uncomfortable feeling immediately rose in his heart. Oma Rita's. That name really irritated Mama Rahan's heart. The reason is very clear, because Rahan is happier when together with people who have no family ties at all than with family, even her own biological mother. Therefore, the feeling of jealousy towards Oma Rita is always in the heart of Mama Rahan.

Plus, there are oil tides that continue to splash wood that is burning. Therefore, the fire that had burned the wood, was getting bigger again and again.

"Aunties. Does aunt not feel the slightest fear if brother Rahan along with the woman? He is the adopted grandson of Rita. Ora Rita's people who might take Kak Rahan completely from aunt and also the Brawijaya family."

"Tante remind me how the influence of oma Rita for kak Rahan?"

The uncomfortable face was increasingly visible on the face of Mama Rahan. She was uncomfortable, she got up straight from her seat.

"Of course I remember. Because I remember how much influence Rita had on Rahan, so I don't know what to do now."

The atmosphere immediately changed quietly. Rahan's mother's words made Winsty fall silent. Because indeed, Oma Rita is the person closest to Rahan. Closer than his own mother.

It all started from the chaos that befell the Brawijaya family when Rahan was five years old. At that time, Rahan was kidnapped by the family's business rival. He was held in a warehouse.

Then, somehow, God could bring Rawan together with Oma Rita at that time. What is clear is that oma Rita is the angel of salvation for poor little Rahan.

But not just get there. The chaos in the Brawijaya family is still not over. Mama Rahan who is not used to living a difficult life, suddenly became very depressed when the economic crisis hit the Brawijaya family.

The impact of the disaster also made a small branch that became an impingement. The mother ignored him due to the turmoil as well as the fear of living hard. He who should have received special attention from his mother, uh, was ignored after the severe trauma he experienced.

In the end, everything went back to normal. Even small people grow up and can be separated from all problems just because of help, affection, and all the sincere attention that Oma Rita gives. Therefore, Rahan considered the Oma Rita as a family rather than her own mother.

"Auntie." A call accompanied by a direct touch awakened Mama Rahan from her daydreams of the past.

"Ah, iy-yeah, Win. What's up?"

"Tante really daydream? Though there's me who's currently taking auntie to talk."

"I'm sorry aunt, Winsty. There was something auntie was thinking about. Ah, yes. Where did our subject matter go?"

Winsty did not answer. He even looked resentfully at Mama Rahan. However, as much as possible what he currently felt, he hid from his interlocutors right now.

'If I don't need you, old lady. Then I'll never want me to talk to you. Because talking to you will also not get satisfactory results. But anyway, I have to be patient. At least, I have a little protection when the rainstorm arrives.' Winsty said inwardly while easing her emotions.

"Tante ih .. we are talking about kak Rahan, you know .. tan. Auntie anyway, use daydreaming everything," said Winsty as much as possible to show his effective behavior to mama Rahan.

"ah! Oh my God .... " Mama Rahan spoke while holding her nose with one hand. "Aunty's head is suddenly dizzy. We'll talk about it again, Win. For now, you're patient. Later aunt think about how to get Rawan to choose you."

Actually, Winsty was very upset by what Mama Rahan just said. But as much as possible he dilates a sense of patience that is actually not there at all in him.

"A real aunt, huh? Find the best way for me. You see, only aunty that I can rely on to be on the side of Rahan. Aunt won't, will she? Later, Rahan married the widow. Where is she the granddaughter of oma Rita again. Aunty's position as a mama will definitely disappear immediately after the wedding takes place."

Mama Rahan stared fixedly at Winsty.

"I won't let that happen."

....

After dinner, Mama Rawan immediately spoke up. "Rahan, Mama wants to talk. Take a moment for your mom now. We'll talk in the living room."

The remark instantly stopped the movement of Rawan who had just woken up from his seat. By the way, tonight she's having dinner at home. That rare opportunity will not be wasted. Because Rawan usually prefers to eat alone in his place rather than eating together with family in the main house of the Brawijaya family.

"What do you want to say? Just say it directly here! I have a lot of work to do." Rahan replied in a cynical tone, without looking at the mother at all.
