"Pa....."
Lady Lukis calmed Mr. Erlangga by gently holding her husband's arm. A rough breath came out of Mr. Erlangga's nose. The man sat back down.
"Your name!"
The empty glass whose water had just been savored by Bram was smashed to pieces. Because it was thrown violently by the CEO of MIKEL Group. Ayra moved the tip of her lips and closed her eyes in shock. One successive incident that he never saw and felt while in the boarding school.
Ayra held Bram's arm, she tried to calm her husband who looked emotional until the boy's gaze was still staring intently at Mr. Erlangga. Ayra was confused how to behave, on the other hand she was a wife but on the other hand her husband was not polite to his parents.
"Let go!"
Bram throws Ayra's hand violently trying to hold her arm.
"Braaam!"
Mr. Erlangga stood back up and pulled the black shirt worn by Bram. T-shirts that have been wet from being flooded with sweat. Even sweat as big as corn kernels was seen on Bram's face.
"Can't you be polite, she's your wife. Come on, Bram, you're married to Ayra. Can't you tell which diamond and which Brass is?"
"Who do you mean Kuningan? Rani?"
"Papa's not talking about that woman!"
"The woman was Maharani Kuncoro Papa. Wife of Bambang Dwi Pradipta. The third son-in-law of Mr. Erlangga Pradipta. A proud and arrogant man."
"Plac!"
A slap was given by Mr. Erlangga to his eldest son.
"Slap again pa. Slap it!"
"Plac!"
This time the slap was not given by Mr. Erlangga but the mother of Lukis who had stood by Bram's side.
Bram who had been filled with emotion was now just holding his cheek in disbelief what he had just seen and witnessed. Her mom slapped her cheek. This is the first time her mom did that to her.
Lady Paints bit her lower lip and cried. He looked at Bram who had just received a fierce slap from the skin of his hand. This was the first time in his life that mistress Paints hurt his son's body.
"Stop Bram. Stop the. Mama never taught you to behave like that to your papa. Hicks.Hiks."
Madam Lukis was writhing on her husband's arm and covering his face with both palms. Suddenly his body collapsed.
"Your ruffles!"
"Mama!."
Spontaneous sounds from 3 people who were in the dining room simultaneously.
Only Mr. Erlangga wanted to hold the wife who was lying on the floor. But Mr. Erlangga lost quickly, he was pushed by Bram who hugged mistress Lukis and raised the body of the woman who had given birth to him towards the elevator door.
Ayra and Mr. Erlangga quickly followed behind Bram. In the elevator, Mr. Erlangga called his family doctor to immediately come check on his wife who has high blood pressure.
"Ting"
The elevator door opens on the 2nd floor. Bram quickly laid the body of the mistress Painted on a bed that was all white, with a headboard engraved with 2 swans.
Ayra opens her mother-in-law's high heels. He sat at the foot of his mother-in-law. Bram looked very worried. Time and time again he kissed Madam Painted's forehead.
"Ma....."
Bram's voice sounded raucous. Mr. Erlangga sat next to the bed and gently stroked the lady's forehead Painted.
A very contrasting view presented at the dining table earlier with the view in this room. The two men who looked very selfish, arrogant now look very weak in front of a woman who has two roles in the family.
Ayra who saw the two men just sitting looking at the woman they loved without doing anything finally took the initiative.
"Is there any Pa wind oil?"
"Huh!? What's Ay?"
Mr. Erlangga's voice sounded confused.
"There's Pa wind oil? That usually makes people faint a little better."
"Oh try to find it in that drawer."
Mr. Erlangga pointed at the ornamental table which was also white and was on the right side of Mrs Lukis.
Ayra walked by bowing her body next to Bram. Bram glanced at the woman wearing a green robe with the batik pattern. One dress that Bram thinks is weird.
"Don't expect you to get my attention by approaching mom and dad."
Bram snorted in annoyance in his heart. He felt his dispute and debate with Mr. Erlangga occurred because of the presence of Ayra in his life.
Ayra finds a white bottle and when she opens it can smell the distinctive fresh scent of minya breeze. Ayra sat on her knees next to her mother-in-law.
Because it is impossible to ask the husband to shift his sitting position, Bram who sits right on the mattress and next to Madam Lukis. Ayra applied the wind oil on Madam Paints neck and a little on her Mama-in-law's nose. Then Ayra massaged Madam Lukis's back neck.
Ayra opened a small button blouse worn by her mother-in-law. He smeared the oil on the chest of his mother-in-law.
Bram saw the buttons of his mother's shirt slightly open, finally slightly backward from his position.
"Sit here!"
The man's voice still sounded sniffy. Ayra glanced at her husband and still put on an unsightly face by the husband. Ayra sat in Bram's position.
Not long after the mistress opened her eyes. The woman felt her head hurt a little and she saw a husband on her left. Ayra gives a massage to her neck and Bram is still sitting behind Ayra. Bram is still holding the hand of mistress Lukis.
The painting mistress wanted to try to get up from her position.
"Ma, just rest. Ayra make warm water, let it be good."
"Let's just be good Ay."
Only Mr. Erlangga will take the intercom attached to the wall his steps stopped.
"Mama wants Ayra to make me."
"Ma. Ayra's daughter-in-law at our house. He can't do maid work."
.
"I used to cook and make tea and coffee for my grandparents. My mother is no longer young. Mama had longed for the time of being noticed by a daughter-in-law. Mrs Erlangga Pradipta who said she already has 2 daughters-in-law but not once did mama feel have a daughter-in-law. Ayra hasn't been with us one day. But my mother felt something that my mother missed so much."
"It's okay, pa. Ayra used to do nothing herself in the pesantren. In our religion there are 3 parents who must be respected and glorified in our lives. First Parents who are the cause of being born into the world.Second, Parents who marry are parents of our life partner. Third, The one who teaches science and also instills the values of glory in life is our teacher."
Ayra walks which is a habit for Ayra she walks backwards without turning her back on the person she respects and considers a parent. One couple who are still faithful in a marriage smile happily to hear and see the daughter-in-law.
But Bram only glanced briefly at the wife.
"Too late! you can take Mama and Papa's heart with your silly words and actions but not with me!"
Bram still clasping Madam Lukis' hand. Lady Lukis can see Bram's glance at Ayra.
"I have to fight for my son to be happy in his marriage. Didn't their marriage get ridho from our parents. Umi Laila said there will be happiness in the household that both parents are afraid of."
