“Tia, Ma?” the girl was shocked by the sentence she had just heard.
“Iya, dong. You have to pay! It's your own wedding party, also for your own.not for Mama.”
“But, Ma. Usually, if the parents are holding a party, all financing is also on the parents' side. If Tia has to choose, Tia wants a simple one.”
“So you want to or not marry Gilang? Don't disappoint you, Tia!” mama Ratna began to raise her tone.
“Iya, Mother. But . . . “
“Not usually who holds the main wedding party from the female side? Because you don't have a family, so you have to represent it and pay for all your wedding expenses.”
Tia who heard him was attacked with heartache because she was reminded that she was just a kara in this world. He had to hold it for the sake of his loved ones. However, this woman in front of him is a mother who is highly respected by her future husband.
“Bu Ajeng, please give me his account number, I will transfer right now. Sorry yes, Mom!”
“What are you sorry for, your people have nothing wrong kok.” Bu Ajeng replied while lightly patting Tia's arm. After that Bu Ajeng showed his account number and recorded by Tia kerekening destination which he will soon pay through mobile banking.
“Then, I say goodbye. I will be giving you news about the availability of the building. March 15th, right?”
“Betul, Mom. Let me deliver to the front.” Tia invited Bu Ajeng to say goodbye.
“Tia, later after marriage, you can directly move to this house.” Mama Ratna said after Tia returned to the family room.
“But, Ma . .”
“Do you think you will stay apart with us? Would you leave your mother and sister alone without Gilang?”
“Good. You're a good daughter-in-law, Tia. Mama stay in the room first yes, wait for Gilang to come home.”
When Ratna's mother wanted to move to her room, she went back to meet Tia who had been sitting in the family room.
“Tia, here Mama wants to talk to Tia.” soon Mama Ratna pointed at the chair next to her, asking Tia to sit up to her.
“What's up, Ma?”
“Im sorry Mama, yes. Unknowingly, Mama continued to be rude to you. But really Mama has no bad intentions.” Mama Ratna clasped Tia's hands together. “And also for the cost of the wedding, Mama also forgot to tell Tia, after Mama was left by her father Gilang, as you know if the backbone of this family now is Gilang, but the family is not, Mama did not have that much money for the wedding, but Mama also could not if celebrated simply, because Mama would not have face if gathered with the family of her late father Gilang.”
“Iya, Mother. Tia understands. If only Mama wanted to say it from the beginning, Tia would not have said anything in front of Bu Ajeng. Sorry yes, Ma.” Reply Tia very gently.
“Moreover you know for yourself, Gilang is just a regular employee in his company, Mama is sure if he will definitely object to the cost. And only Tia can afford it because Tia has excess money.”
“Later your money will Mama return after your party, surely many give gifts in the form of money or goods that can be resold, what is Tia?” added mama Ratna.
“Already, Ma. Later the money for Mama just save it for sudden needs. Tia sincere, Ma.”
“You are indeed a good boy, Tia.” Mama Ratna hugged Tia with a full heart.
“Then, Mama said again to enter the room, yes. Mama wants a break before Gaby gets home from her course.”
“Good, Ma. If Mama needs something, Tia is here.” replied Tia with a big smile on her face.
