Rosa was silent, she glanced at Cici to ask for support through her eyes. But for a while, Cici remained silent.
"This is dinner, Ma. And the medicine and the money were taken by Cici. I went straight to my room, yes, Ma. Let me and Melinda eat in the room." Candra smiled before leaving the living room. He does not want to happen something with his wife if forced to remain in one place with his mother.
Not that Candra doesn't believe that her mama has changed, but she's just on her guard.
After arriving in front of her room, Candra opened the door. He frowned when he saw the door of his room that looked like it had just been opened. Before leaving, he left his bedroom sandals in the middle of the door, but when he returned, the slippers had already been moved, which were near the wall, while the left was somewhere.
"Mel, are you sleeping?" ask Candra.
Melinda who was not aware that her husband had come home immediately wiped her tears. He looked and smiled. "Not yet."
Candra wanted to ask about Melinda's puffy eyes, but she undid her intentions and chose to keep quiet. After the meal, let him finish what he has to finish.
"Here eat first."
Melinda approached, she sat down in front of her husband to see what the man was carrying. "Well, did you buy a catfish? There's the raw sauce, isn't there?"
"There's dong. I'll remember your favorite, so deliberately added sambal earlier."
They ate in silence, but Candra repeatedly glanced at Melinda who kept wiping her tears. She had no idea what caused Melinda to cry, but whatever it was must have had to do with her mother.
After eating, Candra put her clothes and Melinda's in the black backpack they had been wearing.
"Where are you going these nights?" Melinda who just came out of the bathroom was surprised to see her husband was neat and the bag was filled with clothes again.
"We slept in a hotel, yuk!" bring him.
"Loh why? You were told to leave?"
Candra shook her head. "I don't know what happened during the time I was gone, but surely it wasn't something good because you kept crying. The room slippers I put in the middle of the door also shifted, a sign of someone entering this room as long as I was gone." Candra took a breath, she noticed the change in Melinda's face.
"So I want to take you to sleep in the hotel just so you are calm and comfortable. Tomorrow morning we can come back here, so you don't have to be unwell."
Melinda did not know that her husband was that sensitive, but she had tried to hide her face so that Candra did not know about what happened earlier.
"But you're okay with your own mother? And we also have a problem, the money may not be enough."
"There's Cici, so I don't have to worry about mama. What I'm worried about now is you, Mel. You're the one I should prioritize now. For money problems we can find a cheap hotel, how?"
Melinda took the jacket. "Okay, we're going."
"No need to say goodbye to Mama, tomorrow we come back here again. I'll be clear later."
They both went to a nearby and cheap hotel to stay the night. The plan is to be back in the morning, so Rosa doesn't know if they don't exist tonight.
But plans stay plans, because too tired, they wake up bad luck. While at the Pagalo Family home, Rosa tells all the workers in her house to look for Candra and Melinda. In the morning when he woke up, he could not find his son at home.
"Find them. I don't want to know, look until I get." Rosa fears that Candra will not return to the house and chooses Melinda.
"It looks like Melinda made Mas Candra leave this house, Ma. So we need to get rid of Melinda first." Cici was furious, he just wanted to be close to Candra, but instead left it just like that.
Rosa was just about to answer, but the security guard came with one of their neighbors. "Excuse me, ma'am, last night this man saw that Mr. Candra and the young Miss came out of the house with her bag."
Cici was upset. "Because, we can't postpone our plans any longer. I don't want to lose Mas Candra again, but we were close last night after she left."
Rosa agrees. "Yes, you called the man immediately. But actually we need to find out where they are and tell them to go home."
Cici asks people to look for Candra's whereabouts now and not wait long, they find that Candra and Melinda are in a hotel.
"So what should we do, Ma?" ask Cici impatiently. "Melinda keeps Mas Candra away from us."
"You called him, didn't you, what did he say?" ask Rosa to Cici.
"It's Ma, he said he can't wait to see Melinda." Cici gave a report to Rosa.
"What else to wait for. Get him here immediately."
"Yes. I'll pick him up." Cici comes out of Rosa's room to go pick up the men from Melinda's past.
Shortly after Cici leaves, Candra and Melinda return home. They went straight to Rosa's room.
"Ma." Candra approached her mother who was reading a book.
Rosa looked. "Where are you guys from?" the tananya tries to be friendly and does not want to make Candra hate him even more.
Melinda turned to look at Candra, she squeezed the man's hand.
"Evening Candra can't sleep, Ma. So we decided to stay at the hotel." Candra tried to explain slowly.
Rosa nodded. "Next time say, so mama's not worried."
"Sorry, Ma. I took Mas Candra away." Melinda.
"Tomorrow you should be able to hold back, I know you don't like me, but don't provoke Candra. He's my son. Yes, now you go to that room. Rest."
Candra wanted to deny her mother's sentence, but Melinda prevented her from becoming a fuss.
Candra pulled his wife's hand. "Why did you say that?" tanyakanya.
"Let's Candra not be blamed. We stayed at the hotel because of me. So I'm responsible, not Mas."
"Yes, the important thing is that if there's anything you're telling me, don't be harbored like last night, yeah."
Melinda nodded. "Yes, Mas. sorry."
Candra is relieved, she manages to show Melinda that she is reliable and will protect her from anyone, including her mother. It might be a little outrageous, but if it wasn't this way, then the woman would suffer like before.
"Yes, I am Candra Nemenin Mama was there! I'm going to the kitchen for lunch later." Melinda pushed her husband's body into her mother's room.
"OKAY. Don't forget there's a story, yeah. Watch out until I find out from someone else!" threaten Candra with his wife.
Melinda smiled witfully. "Cie's worried about me."
Just as Melinda turned her body towards the kitchen the voice of a man was able to attract her attention.
