Time keeps turning, and the days keep changing. It doesn't feel like one more day is Nando's wedding day. As usual, that night Toyib was playing online games, Dimas was busy discussing about buying and selling shares through his smartphone. And Ayana was watching television.
Ayana who was spoiling on Dimas's lap sighed violently as her phone rang and displayed her mother's name as the name of her caller. The girl did not receive incoming calls on her phone because she was lazy to receive calls from her mother.
"Who's calling, Ay? Why not lift it?"ask Dimas whose eyes remain focused on the phone screen.
"Mama, sister,"sahut Ayana sounded lazy. Really reluctant to take an incoming call from his mother. Remembering the woman who had given birth to her always insulted her husband.
"Yes, I'm quick to pick up, gih!"edict Dimas.
Ayana let out a long sigh then shifted the green-colored icon on her phone and stuck the flat object in her ear.
"Hello, ma!"sahut Ayana.
"Why don't you and your husband go to your boutique? The day after tomorrow is your brother's wedding. But you haven't been to the boutique mama chose clothes for your sister's wedding day. Supposedly, no later than a week ago you came to your mama's boutique, so that you can make clothes that fit you. But you guys didn't come either. Tomorrow, to my mom's shop! Mama wait!"hilda's word doesn't want to be disputed.
Hilda had called Ayana several times to come to her shop, Ayana just said yes would come, but to this day did not come to Hilda's boutique, making Hilda become upset.
"Mama don't have to worry. Me and Dimas already have clothes for Nando's wedding, "sahut Ayana.
"Don't fuck you! Don't embarrass our family! What kind of dress can your husband who works as a traveling clothing merchant buy? Don't tell me, you're gonna rent a dress for your sister's wedding! How embarrassing!"ketus Hilda's.
"If you feel that our arrival at Nando's wedding will make you ashamed, we don't have to go to Nando's wedding party" Ayana said, upset with her mother. The woman who had given birth to him was always looking for a loophole to insult her husband. And it was always successful to make Ayana upset, even angry.
"Based on unfilial child! Don't make your mama the reason you didn't come! Did you deliberately want to see mama scolded by your papa? Mama wonder, what you have done until now your father is so defensive of you," grumbled Hilda.
Since Ayana married Dimas, Hilda felt Geno seemed much more gentle on Ayana, even seeming to appreciate Dimas. Even when Dimas refused to be invited to work in their company, her husband was not angry at all. While Hilda herself, until now still can not accept Dimas as her son-in-law.
Given Dimas's profession as a traveling clothing salesman, Hilda became resentful of Dimas. It would be very embarrassing for him if until his socialite friends know if he has a son-in-law who works as a traveling clothing salesman. That's why Hilda hates Dimas.
"If you want us to come, let us wear our own clothes. Mama didn't have to bother preparing clothes for us, "sahut Ayana was upset.
Without saying anything else, Hilda hung up. Because I was so upset with Ayana.
"What's up, Ay? Mama told us to go to mama's shop again?"asked Dimas who heard Ayana's words, glanced at his wife's expression that looked annoyed.
"Yes. Mama forced us to come to the boutique, "sahut Ayana with a sullen face.
"Are you worried that you're wearing clothes that don't meet your expectations?"asked Dimas who already knew the nature of his mother-in-law.
"Where can that be," said Dimas put his phone on the table, then gently grasped the hand of Ayana who laid her head on his lap,"I promise, we will not make your mother and family ashamed. You believe me, don't you, same me?"dimas asked as he gently stroked Ayana's head.
"Just believe it, Ay! Dimas won't put your mama and your family to shame" Toyib assured Ayana. The widower was used to seeing the affection of the couple.
"I trust my brother, and my brother. Brother won't put my family to shame. I'm just lazy to meet my mom and sister Nando. I don't like them, because they're always looking for opportunities to insult sister, "sahut Ayana expressed her feelings.
"I'm fine, really. Even if they insult me. After all, they're our family, Ay. We can't tell anyone else to like or respect us, Ay," said Dimas, stroking Ayana's head.
"Yes. I know, brother. But I don't like it if mom and sister Nando insult sister,"sahut Ayana let out a long sigh. This was what always made Ayana feel comfortable with Dimas. The man could always calm his heart and make him feel at ease.
On the other hand, Hilda's face looks furious after calling Ayana earlier.
"Basin a bad boy! Always against what I said. Ever since the traveling clothes sales, the boy has been fighting back and I can't control him at all" Hilda said.
"What else is it?"geno asked who had just entered the room, unintentionally hearing Hilda's grunts.
"The papa princess. She doesn't want to wear clothes from my mom's boutique. I don't know what clothes he will wear at Nando's wedding. Mama doesn't want them to embarrass our family," said Hilda.
"When we go to the hotel later, Mama just bring clothes that are roughly suitable for them. Mama knows for herself, Ayana always opposes mama, because mama is always rude to her, "so Geno is right.
"Mama just wants the best for Ayana. Is mama wrong?"ketus Hilda's.
"There's nothing wrong with my mom's good intentions. Wrong is the way of my mother. After Ayana is married to Dimas, papa can understand everything. Dimas educates Ayana with tenderness, care, and affection. Dimas never forced Ayana to do what Dimas wanted and always reminded Ayana gently when Ayana did something wrong. While we only give Ayana money without giving attention and affection. Always scolding and forcing Ayana to do what we want. Therefore, Ayana is desperate to leave us and choose a simple life with Dimas. Did you not understand all this?"geno said at length.
Hilda did not refute what Geno had said. Because everything Geno says is true. But Hilda still could not accept Dimas as her son-in-law. However, Hilda felt embarrassed if anyone knew if her daughter-in-law was a traveling clothing salesman.
