After a moment of silence, Mr. Rinto began to speak again.
“Leo, you must take responsibility in this matter,” Rinto told his son.
“Leo does want to be responsible Pa, but now that is the problem between Leo and Jihan different beliefs. So now what is the best solution for Leo,” said Ms. Rini.
“Leo should be in charge of his son. But if we marry that woman, we cannot impose our will.
Thank goodness that woman was willing to follow Leo's beliefs. But if the woman still maintains her belief, yes we as parents can not force her will.”
“So that means Leo can't marry her?” ask Rini again.
“Leo can only admit that it is his son but Leo cannot have full rights over the child. So the child's living expenses must be borne by Leo, from the baby is born until he grows up.
Leo is the one who will bear all the cost of his life.”
Hearing her husband's explanation, Rini felt dissatisfied.
“No can be so donk Pa. The child is Leo's flesh and blood, so we are entitled to the child as well.”
“Ya indeed we have the right only to admit it if it's our grandchildren. But we have no right to ask her to stay with us. In Indonesia there is no such thing as civil marriage as before, so Leo and the woman cannot marry because of differences of belief.
If they have to get married, one of them has to give up. Leo cannot change his beliefs. So too with that woman. We can't force that woman to follow our will Ma.”
“Mama does not agree Pa. Mama wants Leo's son to come with us because he's our flesh and Leo's successor later.”
“Mama can't be like that, everything we leave to the woman. If he wants to follow Leo's beliefs, we marry him. But if he doesn't want to, yes we can't impose.
We can only finance the life of our grandson until he grows up.”
“Nak it if it's like that. We're out of charge to raise the child, while we can't have it.”
“Mama make no mistake. If we are always in touch with Leo's son, surely our grandson will love us even though he lives with his mother.
The important thing is we never separate Leo from his son. If every month Leo always finances his child, rest assured that the child must love us. Having that doesn't have to be one house.
Even though he's staying with his mother later, we have rights over the boy. The important thing is we always visit him because blood relations until anytime will not break.”
Hearing her husband's explanation, Rini's mother just kept quiet. What her husband said turned out to be true that the blood relationship would never break up at any time.
Especially if you always meet, the relationship will be closer. But Rini's mom really hopes that Leo and Jihan can get married later with the record of Jihan willing to follow Leo's beliefs.
“Now you know what the consequences of your actions are?” rinto said to Leo.
“Already Pa,” replied Leo while nodding his head.
“So in the near future we have to go to the woman's house,” pinta pak Rinto.
“But what about Leo lecture, Pa?”
“But if later Leo can marry the woman, if he can still go to college while he will have to continue the business Papa.”
“If you are married can still go to college so Mama don't worry about it.”
“Indeed yes Pa, but mama is not sure if Leo can go to college after having a family later. When SMA aja he often create problems.” Miss Rini is not sure about Leo.
“Papa sure growing up someone will definitely change. Isn't that so Leo? You can change for the better?” ask Mr. Rinto.
“Iya Pa, Leo promises not to disappoint Mama and Papa again. Leo is also very sorry Pa, Ma,” Leo said in a sad tone.

As usual, Jihan woke up from her sleep. He is no longer in school, but he is used to waking up early. As soon as he woke up he immediately made his bed and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.
Arriving at the bathroom Jihan immediately nausea and vomiting. Ms. Dwi who was cooking breakfast heard Jihan's voice vomiting.
The location of the bathroom with the kitchen next to each other so that the sound of the bathroom is heard up to the kitchen.
Ms. Dwi then stopped her activities and thought for a while. ‘Why has a week more Jihan always vomited even though she has not caught a cold anymore.
Is Jihan suffering from an illness. I better get Jihan checked out as soon as possible by the doctor than the disease gets more dangerous.
Or maybe Jihan is pregnant. But how could Jihan be pregnant because I know for myself that she doesn't have a boyfriend. Ah, I must not think too far in this matter,’ inner bu Dwi confused.
Suddenly, Ms. Dwi was afraid that her guess was true that Jihan was pregnant. ‘I have to ask this to Jihan.
But change after his father left for work,’ Inner bu Dwi.
Deliberately, Dwi wanted to ask Jihan directly so that she could determine whether Jihan was pregnant or not. Although Ms. Dwi is not sure if Jihan is pregnant especially after Ms. Dwi that Jihan does not have a lover.
But seeing the signs from Jihan, Ms. Dwi was convinced that Jihan was pregnant.
Bu Dwi then did not focus on making breakfast so that the omelet he cooked was scorched. After smelling the scent of a scorched omelet, then Miss Dwi realized that she had been daydreaming since. In a hurry, Dwi lifted an omelet from the pan and placed it in a glass bowl.
After that, Ms. Dwi cleaned the dining table. All the cooking she cooked this morning was placed on the dining table while occasionally thinking about Jihan.
His worry for his only daughter was huge. Although not entirely bu Dwi sure that Jihan has been pregnant but this disturbing his mind.
Even while cooking breakfast he did not focus on making the omelet he cooked scorched.
Although the omelet is charred but still worth eating.
Ms. Dwi also fried the salted fish in anticipation that her husband would not eat the scorched omelet.
After the dishes at the table were finished, Ms. Dwi then called her husband who was still in the room to have breakfast together. So too did Jihan who called her mother for breakfast together.
