Rindi looks for her mother-in-law down the streets. He was not tired of continuing to look for the whereabouts of his mother-in-law, but never met. Different from the way Kirana was looking. He asked some of his confidants to find Rindi's mother-in-law without having her tired of looking alone.


A search within a day did not yield results. Rindi was desperate. He decided to just go home and continue the search another day.


"Oh Allah, please meet me with my mother-in-law. Because he's all I have, no one else. Mother wherever you are, may you always be healthy."


Rindi went into the house and for a moment to eat, because all day she did not eat at all. But at the time he will just feed the food to the mouth. He heard a woman's voice begging.


"Sir-mom, ask for alms asiklasnya justaaaa. all day I have not eaten."


Rindi also undoes her intention to eat, she immediately stepped outside the house. And the moment he saw who the one who raised his hand was, Rindi quickly ran over and hugged him. While the old beggar woman was from earlier downcast until no doubt who ran to embrace her.


"Ibuuuuu........"


The old woman in the hug gasped in shock, and she let go of Miss's embrace, "you, so you've been living here all along and not working abroad? it's so outrageous!"


The old woman stared cynically at Rindi. He immediately stepped away, but Rindi quickly blocked his step mother-in-law," Mom, please don't go! stay with me, and I'll tell you what really happened to me these past two years."


"Come, Mom. You must be hungry, right? we'd better get in, I'll give you some food for you."


Very subtly, Rindi persuaded her mother-in-law to be ready to enter the house. Because he was already memorized by the nature of his mother-in-law who was very stubborn. But she also knew very well, if her mother-in-law was stubborn but actually kind. Only the situation of the bsaja who made himself desperate to throw Airin.


First, Rindi asked her mother-in-law to take a bath and she gave her one of her clothes, "Mommy, while I put one of my clothes on first huh? tomorrow we go to buy all the mother's needs."


Hearing what Rindi said, her anger subsided and her smile broadened, "really? you seriously didn't lie to me, did you?"


"Seriously, mom. Now put on this shirt and later mom can also sleep in this room. After that, you can eat?"


With great enthusiasm, her mother-in-law quickly put on the clothes given by Rindi. He kept smiling with a joyful smile. Because all this time he lived on the streets only wearing clothes attached to his body until it looks dirty and smelly. At the moment, he can wear clean clothes.


Seeing the smile on her mother-in-law's lips, Rindi was so happy. Do not forget in his heart to give thanks," thank God. While I was tired from looking all day for my mother not to see me, she was now in front of me. Thank God, my mother looks happy and healthy."


"Mother, let's eat!" very subtly, Rindi embraced her mother-in-law towards the dining room, where she had just broken off her meal. And gave his ration of food to his mother-in-law.


"This meal is for mom? where is the food for you?" The mother-in-law did not eat it right away, she just sat staring at the food in front of her. Although he was actually very hungry, because during his life on the streets, he rarely ate.


Rindi assured her mother-in-law that she had eaten first. Until in the end the mother-in-law, eating the food in front of her very greedy.


"Mother, eat slowly. If it's less, I'll buy it again, okay?"


Mother-in-law nodded her head. He really enjoyed the food that is currently being eaten," Padang rice is very tasty Rindi. Do you buy me again sometime?"


"Not for sometime mom, now I'll buy it if you want it again. I happened to buy it across the street, Mom."


Incidentally in the kitchen there were still many leftovers at the time Vina lived in the house. Even in the refrigerator there are also some even raw foods that he used to process as a menu of cooking.


Mother-in-law asked Rindi to make a warm sweet tea drink for herself. With a quick motion, Rindi immediately went to the kitchen to make a drink that her mother-in-law wanted, and she also made it for herself in order to endure hunger.


A few minutes later....


When they relax, the two of them talk to each other. At first her mother-in-law wanted to say a lot of bad things to Rindi. But Rindi seemed to know about what her mother-in-law wanted to say. Until he asked his mother-in-law to listen to him for a moment.


"Mom, before mom says a lot to me. Please give me a chance to say something important to her mother so she doesn't misunderstand me anymore."


The mother-in-law nodded slowly, and she allowed Rindi to say everything she wanted to say. Start Rindi tell a long story about her life during these two years to her mother-in-law.


"Mother, for two years I was abroad. I got a very cruel employer. I'm not allowed to use a cell phone until I can't reach my mother at all."


"Even during work I was never given a salary. Many times I get a torture if I argue or try to escape the house a few times."


"For two years, I've been living the same life by holding back my longing for Mom and Airin. At that moment I was almost desperate."


Rindi continued to tell her experiences during her two years living abroad as a TKW. Even without feeling a clear circle out of the corner of his eye. It was as if he was currently in the past phase.


After hearing the story from her daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law suddenly hugged her," Rindi, I apologize to you. Mom misunderstood you by accusing me of not caring about Mom and Airin. I also apologize for throwing Airin away in a cafe parking lot. I'd love to, if you want to report mom to the police station. All this time I also continued to live in a ghost with guilt and sin in Airin."


Rindi let out a long sigh as she continued to rub her mother-in-law's back very gently, "mother, don't say such a thing. I'll never report mom to the police station. Because what you do is because of compulsion. And everything that happens to us because of the Suratan of destiny."


The mother-in-law let go of her embrace, "but what about Airin's fate?"


Rindi smiled at her smile," I don't have to worry, Airin is currently living with good people and I already know about this. It's just that I haven't had time to meet personally with Airin. Because I used my time to find Mom first."


Again the tears of Rindi's mother-in-law poured out, "Oh Allah, are you more concerned with mother first than to chat and tell Airin that you are her birth mother?"


"Yes Mom, because I don't want to make my late husband sad. If he finds out right now I'm not with mom."


Mother-in-law felt astonished and amazed at Rindi. Even if Rindi wants, she can just forget herself and prefer to live with Airin. But not with Rindi.


"Alright, forgive the mother who has been prejudiced against you Rindi."


Rindi nodded her head, "Yes ma'am, now don't look back and think about the past. But we're looking to a bright future, ma'am."


For a moment Rindi asked her mother-in-law to rest, and she would momentarily make instant noodles because she could not resist hunger. But it was precisely the mother-in-law who took the initiative to make food, "let the mother make food for you. It should have been Padang rice at your meal."
