Secret Marriage (Rama & Naina)
Chapter 27 - Aki's House

At 3 pm WIB, Rama had arrived in the city of B. The city where her mother came from. City B with a million stories and is famous for its peak tourist attractions and cool cities. It just so happened that Aki and Nini were near the mountains and the weather was so cold. He was delivered by his father.

"Assalamualaikum Aki, Mother," said Rama waiting for the door to open. Aki and Mother are the calls that Rama gave to his grandparents. In Sundanese, Aki is called Grandpa and Mama means Grandma

"Getishalight." Sounded from inside the house, his voice was a woman.

Then the door opens. Rama smiled welcoming his grandmother. "Good afternoon, Mother."

"Come Rama! This is your tea! Why didn't you tell me you wanted to come to Mom's house? Though mah if you know already Mother picked up to the city." cried Rama's grandmother while hugging Rama. He did not know his grandson was coming. Pas met directly hugging the body of Rama. The fifty-year-old woman so tightly hugged her grandson.

"If you knew you'd come here, you'd be preparing your favorite meal." The woman who is often greeted by Mother Ijah was moved to see her grandchildren again after one year ago they met when Lebaran yesterday.

"Why not prepare the food? Already knew his grandson came even not prepared fried boiled cassava or fried sweet potato." Rama also replied with his Sundanese accent. The two foods are foods that Rama likes if he stopped by his grandmother's house. Rama always asked to make fried cassava that has been boiled first or fried yam and accompanied by a cup of warm tea.

"Where does Mom know. Who did you come here with? By himself? Where are you papa's brothers?" Mak Ijah dizzyukan pay attention to the environment of his home, but he did not find anyone there.

"Papa, if Gilang doesn't come. He's busy, Mom, Papa's favorite son. If papa ever goes to Aki again. Papa said at this hour I'm in the garden."

"Oh, fast, your papa is invisible. Gilang has always been your father's favorite child. Nothing should be like Gilang. But for Mom, you're still Mom's best granddaughter." Mak Ijah smiled.

"Obviously dong, Rama is. Mak I want to rest first, Rama's tired, Mak." Rama complained, he felt tired because he lacked rest.

"Yes, you rest in a room you use a lot, yeah."

Rama already knew which room he was going to occupy, so he continued to step into the room just to rest. His eyes sleepy, tired growth, and also feel sore.

After Rama entered the room, then Restu and his Grandfather Rama entered the house.

"What body is Rama at home?" ask Grandpa Soleh.

"Here, he said tired of going straight into the room and rest."

Restu reached out his hand kissing the respect of his in-laws hand. "How are you, Mom?"

But Mak Ijah first prepared drinks and snacks for his daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

"It's not usual for you to come here without telling us" said Grandpa Soleh.

"Yes, Sir. It's so impromptu. I want to hand Rama over during the holidays for Father Dikidik so that the child complies and does not make trouble again. I was tired of seeing and facing the behavior of Rama who never wanted to obey me." Restu began to complain and complain about every behavior of his son.

"Maybe your friend just can't educate Rama and always compare him with his brother. Didn't you like Rama's character?" sahut Mak Ijah voiced and insinuated the behavior of his daughter-in-law.

"Restu always tried hard to make Rama a good child and want to understand the wishes of his parents. Restu is so because this is also for Rama's own good." Restu defended himself and felt he had done what he thought was right. But unknowingly if what Restu does makes some children feel compared and never feel appreciated effort.

"It doesn't mean you always compare them. Each child has their own abilities and has their own desire to make their choices. You should be fully supportive of what Rama did. This is how my grandson feels unwanted," said Mak Ijah disagreed about the way Restu thought and how to teach. She also doesn't like her grandchildren being hurt despite her father's Restu.

"But, Ma'am ..."

"Already, already. No need to talk about this anymore. Most important now Rama is here and we will be educated as we can. But, if Rama doesn't follow your wishes don't force him. Every child should not be forced because it will only make them more rebellious." Soleh's grandfather chimed in and broke the talk of his wife and daughter-in-law. He did not want any quarrels because of each other's blame and so was defending themselves.

"Yes, Sir. Restu asked you to educate the way the way you. During the school holidays, Restu handed Rama over to Father. Restu could not stay here for long because he had to take care of the work in the city. Moreover, Gilang is currently Gilang has started to manage the company Restu, so I must be on standby to teach him. Only Gilang is proud of being able to make Restu proud. The mill is very smart and also obedient. "And again Restu brought up the problem. It also makes Mak Ijah upset because his son-in-law had always liked to compare his two children.

"Well, why such a rush? Let's eat first, or you stay overnight in the day mah. Not tired of turning back?"

"Other times, sir." Restu stood up, "Restu was not preoccupied with the situation. Titip Rama Bu, sir." Restu also greeted his two in-laws.

Inevitably grandmother and grandfather Rama breeding because Restu will definitely still refuse if it continues to be forced.

"Yes, already. Be careful on the road. Do not speed up and prioritize safety. Slow origin survived," said Grandpa Soleh giving advice.

"Good, sir." Restu said goodbye and left.

"From the first Martin never changed," said Mak Ijah a little upset.
