Dimas, Toyib and Diky were already sitting in their respective places. As usual, Ayana brought rice for the three men.
"Tokay! Geck! Geck!"
The sound of knocking on the main door made the four people inside the dining room look at each other. As if asking each other, who is the person who visited their house.
"Let me look ahead" said Diky, rising from his seat and walking towards the main door.
"Who's coming, huh, Dim?"toyib asked because there were rarely people who visited their homes.
"Where do I know. Oh, yes, Diky will send a report to RT, saying that he will stay here" Dimas said.
"Yes, right. Diky hasn't reported to RT,"sohut Toyib.
While in front, Diky opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman who was dressed in fashionable and still beautiful clothes standing in front of that door. The woman seemed to frown at him staring at Diky.
"Sorry, who are you looking for, huh?"ask Diky politely.
"I'm looking for Dimas, "that middle-aged woman who is none other than Hilda. Hilda seemed confused when she saw that the door to the house was not Dimas, Ayana or Toyib.
"I'm not at home wrong, am I? The feeling, this real house, huh! But who is this young man? I've never seen him before" murmured Hilda inwardly.
Seeing the appearance of Diky who only wears a t-shirt, and shorts, Hilda became confused. Because Dicky's appearance is not like a guest. Like the people who live in that house. As far as Hilda is concerned, only Toyib lives with Dimas and Ayana.
"Ohh.. looking for Dimas? Come on in, Mom! Please sit! I'll call the man" said Diky.
"Thank you" said Hilda, then sat down on the couch. Dicky rushed back to the dining room.
"Who is that woman? She still looks beautiful even though she is in middle age. What does this have to do with Dimas? Don't tell me, he's a girly aunt who likes to look for handsome young men! Hiiii.."mumbled Diky shudder in horror at the thought of Dimas being a mistress of excited Aunts.
"Who, Sister?"toyib asked when he saw Diky enter the dining room. No one has started eating because it's still waiting for Diky.
"There are beautiful women who nyariin Dimas," said Diky made Dimas knit his forehead.
Everyone stared at Dimas. Diky looked at Dimas with a curious feeling. Toyib looked at Dimas suspiciously. As for Ayana, the look on Ayana's face had turned grim. Staring at Dimas with an aura that felt cold. The dimas that everyone in the room stared at with various expressions became a misbehavior.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"dimas asked the three people who were looking at him.
"You didn't cheat on my sister, did you?"toyib asked, squinting one eye.
"So don't fuck around, okay?!"ayana said with a fierce face.
"You don't think anything!I'll see who it is, "that Dimas hurried to get up from his seat and walked into the living room. Ayana followed behind Dimas. And so did Toyib and Diky.
"Mama? What's the matter mama came here these nights? Did something happen?"tanya Dimas looked worried as soon as she saw Hilda. The man rushed over to Hilda, greeted her and kissed the back of Hilda's hand.
Ayana and Toyib breathed a sigh of relief when they saw who had come. Ayana and Toyib kissed Hilda on the back. While Diky frowned because he did not know who the woman who was their guest was. Especially when Dimas, Ayana and Toyib seem to have great respect for the woman called Dimas mama. Because as Diky remembers, Dimas' parents are dead. But because everyone was greeting and kissing Hilda's hand, inevitably, Diky did the same.
"It's okay. My mom just got home from Arisan. And the place passes through your area. So mama took the initiative to stop by here, "sahut Hilda while smiling thinly..
"Who is this, huh? How come you never saw him before?"hilda looked towards Diky. Hilda was curious about Diky.
"This is my friend, ma. He's the detective I asked to investigate Noval yesterday" Dimas said.
"What's? So he's a famous detective who doesn't want to show himself that?"ask Hilda who seems surprised.
Yes, all this time, Diky has never shown himself to the public. Even if you have to speak in public, Diky always represents him to his assistant. Diky did not want his face to be known by many people. The young man felt that many people who recognized him would make his movements in investigating cases less free.
"Yes, ma,"sahut Dimas. Dicky smiled at Hilda.
"Wahh.mama did not expect to meet the mysterious famous detective. Mama's very lucky" said Hilda who looked amazed.
"Ah, Aunty can do it,"sahut Diky smiled thinly.
"Mama hasn't eaten yet, has she? We just happened to be having dinner. Come on in, we'll have dinner together!"take Ayana to switch the conversation.
"Wahh. happened to be mama has not eaten yet," said Hilda smiling brightly.
"Yes, come on, let's go to the dining room, Tan!"bring Toyib.
Dimas Toyib, Diky and Hilda sat around the table. Hilda smiled at the menu on the dining table.
"I'll take a plate for mama" said Ayana rushing towards the kitchen.
"By the way, kid Diky lives here, too?"asked Hilda who had been curious because she saw Diky who was wearing a house shirt.
"Yes, ma. Diky is an orphan, and has no siblings in this town. From yesterday, he stayed here" Dimas said.
"Ohhh, I see," said Hilda, nodding a small nod.
Finally that night Hilda ate together at the house of her son and daughter-in-law. They chatted on the sidelines eating them. Warm. That was how Diky and Hilda felt during dinner together with Dimas, Ayana and Toyib. A few minutes later, dinner was over. They sit in the living room to digest the food that has just entered their stomachs.
"Well, mom's really sorry. Mama used to force you to be in a relationship with Noval, Mama did not expect, if Noval and his father were a criminal. Mama is really sorry," said Hilda who felt more guilty if she remembered once forced Ayana to have a relationship with Noval. Especially after today knowing who really Noval and her father Noval.
"Mama doesn't have to feel guilty like that. Everything has its silver lining. If that night you hadn't forced me to go with Noval, I probably wouldn't have been helped, Brother Dimas. And brother Dimas will not be my husband" said Ayana with a faint smile. Sitting attached to Dimas while hugging Dimas's arm as usual.
"You're getting older, Ay. Accept, Dim! You have educated Ayana well. Forgive the mother who has always insulted and demeaned you. Mama's really sorry," said Hilda sincerely.
"I forgave my mother before she apologized to me. I understand, as a parent, you definitely want your daughter to be happy and live well. Don't want your daughter to suffer. That's a normal thing, ma. If I had a grown-up daughter, I would have thought so, too" said Dimas, who never felt angry, hateful, let alone vengeful toward his mother-in-law.
"Thank you, Dim!"hilda said sincerely.
