"Son, dear Candra. Mama did not think why Melinda had the heart for Mama. He, he brought up your late father. Mama's heart hurts, son." Rosa is not always sobbing.
Melinda is already tired, she believes the husband must be angry with her. But he could not defend himself at all, it might be true what the in-laws said if he had gone too far.
Rosa is on Candra's arm. "Mama is sad, Mama's heart hurts."
Candra focused on Melinda who was now down, "Mel, is it true what Mama said?"
Melinda raised her head, not knowing what to answer. Not only was the father-in-law hurt, he felt the same way. However, if he was defending himself would Candra believe him? Yes, it's better to be quiet waiting for Candra's decision.
"Look at him just shut up, son. It means Mama is right. And Mama's heart really hurts, son," Rosa said again. Clear water continues to flow on the cheeks that are no longer tight.
"Enough, Ma." Candra stomped her hand and it succeeded in making Rosa's hand slip.
"Mazur!" pekik Rosa was shocked.
"Enough, Ma. I thought Mama was here because of good intentions. But Mama again and again hurt Melinda," concluded Candra who can no longer accept the treatment of her mother.
"What do you do, son. Mama never lied at all, Melinda who has brought up about your late father and Mama here does have good intentions," replied Rosa.
"So you don't know Mama very well?" ask Rosa.
"I used to know Mama well, Mama who was always good, Mama who did anything to make me happy. But now I don't know Mama at all. Where's my mom who always wanted me to be happy?"
Rosa looked at Candra's eyeballs with a sad look. His son had been influenced by Melinda to the point of daring to go against him.
Slowly Rosa's hands stretched out and wanted to wipe Candra's back. It's just that the guy avoided.
"Candra. Mama's still the same as she used to be, wanting the best thing Mama's offering for you, son. But—"
"But, since I chose Melinda so Mama doesn't want that good thing Mama gave her? Ma, look." Candra pulled Melinda's hand closer to her mother, "see, Ma. What is the lack of Melinda? She's a good woman, than me she's better than everything. Only one Ma lacks him. He was born into a family that was not capable. Is it because Melinda can't choose her own life Mama made it an excuse for me to break up with her?"
Melinda was surprised by what Candra did. In front of the in-laws, her husband was completely defending himself. He was sobbing and sobbing. He also could not speak anymore, usually he would ask the husband to keep the speech in front of the in-laws, but this he was just silent.
Seeing that the mother was silent, Candra shook her head, "Sorry, Ma. This time I really can't let go. I've done ijab qobul where he is now my responsibility."
Rosa could not speak anymore. His gaze is difficult to interpret between accepting the words of the child or even hating Melinda more.
