"Where are you, Mah? Ara didn't see that before," asked Ara.
"Father, papah there's more work outside the city. Just yesterday I left" replied Mamah Fani.
"Indeed, Mamah told us to gather like this what's up?" ask Derry who looks agitated like he wants to end it.
"Patience, wait for your brother" said Mamah Fani.
"Ish, where the hell is Bang Rio?" upset because of impatient Derry wanted to move on to call Rio.
"It's coming soon too, patience Derry," he said. "Well, that's your brother."
Rio came after 10 minutes after Ara came out from the bathroom. I don't know what Rio did all that time. Clearly, his face was extremely frustrated right now. Ara also noticed that her eyes were visible after crying. Even though Rio had covered it with water scraps that he deliberately washed to cover it.
"Where the hell are you, Bang. Long time," protested Derry who sat back.
"Diem lo," Rio said.
Rio was sitting next to Derry, facing Ara. He sat down, his eyes looking down. With an ATM card belonging to Ara he still held.
"What am I saying outrageous, yes. To the extent that she cried, "Ara's inner being a little guilty.
"Come, Mah. Bang Rio's here, "gerundel Derry can't wait.
"I mean Mama, take Ara with Rio. Mamah .... "
"Well, Derry's here" points to her feeling unnamed.
It made Ara hold back a laugh. There's just Derry. Rio glanced towards Ara. Seeing Ara his heart felt pierced by a thousand thorns. But feel also Ara is a remedy for all the pain he feels at this time.
"Derry!" mamah Fani's eyes glared. "There ah, if you want to go there. Mama don't make it up to you here, bother you!" mama Fani is upset because Derry is too much behavior.
Derry's lips chipped when his mother asked him to leave. Without protest, Derry left. Without even being told, Derry wanted to leave.
"So, continue our conversation yes," said Mamah as she let out a long sigh. "Ara," mama rubbed the back of Ara's hand.
"Rio," looked at the child with a shady look. "You've been married for six months. Mama knows, Papa, and also Mother Nisya know that your relationship is not good. We know how you feel all along. It's not easy to get to this point, you're young. Your lives are also much longer."
Rio termangu heard mama's speech. He stared in wonder, while digesting every sentence uttered by Mama Fani.
"Saying selfish and sorry. We as parents and in-laws feel our decision is too soon to have you married at an immature age. We thought you were married, because of us: Mama, Papa, and Mommy Hisya also know each other well. You will learn to live together, grow together, be happy, and share a love for each other. That's what we think, but the reality is different" explained Mama Fani.
Either a strange feeling rippled in Ara's chest now. Swallowing saliva is difficult. He was now terrified, his lower lip he kept a small bite. His eyes turned seriously towards his mother-in-law who was talking about the core of his problem.
"Ara," Mama Fani smiled sweetly towards Ara. "Sorry, Mama's son yes. If all this time for Ara hard, suffering, and continuous pain. Mama doesn't think, what happened is too much."
Rio lowered his head even more. Ah, Mama was too frontal to discuss her flaws directly in front of Ara.
Ara smiled bitterly, "no papa Ma. Ara is used to it."
"Huh, used to? Ara as much as it was my fault all along. To the extent that you feel used to it," Rio said inwardly.
Ara glanced at Rio who was still bowed with his hands clenching tightly together. "I'm sorry Rio, Ma."
Rio's head instantly upright looking towards Ara. Surprised, did Ara really forgive herself?
Mama Fani smiled widely, her heart a little relieved. "Good darling, Mama's ashamed. Shame your son can't take good care of you."
The sadness, and disappointment of a mother just spilled over. Failing to educate a boy who should be responsible. But the opposite is true.
"Top .... " Ara looked at Rio before she continued her words. Rio was now hiding his face in both palms. His shoulders shook indicating he was crying, "we have tried to solve our own problems. But there is no right solution for us. Perhaps, Ara was indeed wrong to leave the house. Which eventually leads to problems like this. But Ara herself no longer knows how to survive all over again. Sorry Ara, Ma."
"I'm sorry Ara made it this way. Ara didn't mean to hurt anyone," Ara ended by trying not to shed her tears.
Mama Fani's cry broke instantly. Makes the atmosphere even more sad. Mama Fani's feelings are definitely broken.
Rio's crying voice now also sounded heartbreaking after a long time he was resistant. The contents of his chest were torn to shreds thousands of times the thorns. A very regret that made him increasingly want to defend Ara.
Mama Fani let out a long sigh then set her breathing rhythm. After that, he wiped the rest of his tears. Now he looked at the child with a stern look.
"Rio, we heard it. Ara has forgiven you, this is what you asked for. Mama followed him. Now it's our parents' turn, Mama will represent Papa and Mommy Hisya for the decision we made after knowing what was going on. This has all been carefully considered, and we all agree. Because for the good of all of you."
"Rio, please divorce Ara," said Mama Fani trying hard to say her own words in front of her son. There is a feeling of unbearability, there is a feeling of regret after expressing it.
Yeah, tub in a lightning strike. Rio who was shocked at what his own mother said. Rio looked at the Mama with a sad look.
Rio did not expect the end of this conversation, Mama asked herself to release Ara. I don't know, Ara's been asking for it repeatedly. But when her mother asked, her world seemed to collapse instantly. His heart felt pierced continuously.
"I mean Mama?" ask Rio.
"Yes, finish everything Rio. Want to see when you continue to behave with your behavior that makes Mama and Papa ashamed. If you don't want to continue, you're done. Live each of your lives. Don't hang up Ara, Rio," said Mama Fani.
"Rio won't, Ma! Rio already, truly regretted, now Rio was willing to fix everything from the beginning. Not ending, this is not Ma's solution. Please pull Mama's words," Rio said.
Ara who heard it, immediately stared in disbelief at Rio. Ara herself asked for separation. Rio also refused, but Rio never uttered to improve from the start. What it means ....
"As far as you are, son. But please give me the right decision. Ara also needs the life she wants. You yourself have to mature to make a decision, lest later it will be repeated events like gini. Mom is ashamed. Shame on the Ara family. The decision you made did not make us disappointed, especially Ara," pinta Mama Fina.
"Everything is in your hands Rio. How do you want to fix everything. Mama will not interfere anymore, everything is in your hands, efforts, and attitude now. Make Ara yourself, please give Rio another chance, yes."
Mama Fani stared at Ara's hope. Both of Ara's hands were always Mama Fani clasped.
"This is your last chance, Rio. If you haven't changed as well, the separation path if Ara asks, you can't refuse. After this it is up to you to fix it like what," said Mama Fani
"Rio heard for himself, Ara has forgiven you. Ara you have also been horrified by Rio's desire to continue. All decisions are in you both."
Tonight was a long night for Ara and Rio. Ara and Rio were both willing to accept what Mama Fani was talking about. But Ara still needs time to be alone. Ara asked for a while not wanting to stay first with Rio.
After all, Ara herself needed to calm her mind. Mama Fani allows because she understands what Ara feels because of her own child.
Mama Fani was relieved to find a way for them. Mama Fani hopes their relationship is progressing for the better. Love each other and love each other. Mama Fani believes they have a taste for each other just not the time.

"If that's how Ara came home," Ara immediately kissed the back of her hand Mama Fani.
"Yes, be careful on the road huh," the two hugged each other. "Derry, be careful. Take the car don't go fast, I'll take Ara home."
Derry who had opened the car door for Ara. "Ready, Ma!"
"Assalamualaikum," hail Ara.
"Waalaikumsalam," replied Mama Fani while waving her hand as the car engine lit up.
