Down the stairs in a hurry, because when just closed the children's playroom, Mama Shinta was shocked by Kenzo's exclamation calling someone a jerk.
As a mother-in-law, of course she was afraid if it was her daughter who was being angered by Kenzo.
But all was quiet and even numb, when all he saw was Zio in the presence of his son and daughter-in-law.
Highlight the wide-eyed Mama Shinta when she saw her ex-daughter-in-law at her daughter-in-law's house, making Zio smile on her side half-sinny side.
The man did not expect, if his Former Mama-in-law who had made his place to pour out his heart, as well as people he greatly respected, turned out to hide all this from him.
In fact, it was only in front of Mama Shinta that she dared and shamelessly cried over her regrets. Revealing all the tightness and regret he felt after Calina's disappearance.
"Why is Mama Shinta staring at me like that?" tanya Zio smiled sinisterly at once. As if insinuating the former mother-in-law who could make him like a fool in front of Kenzo and Calina.
Although she is no longer a mother-in-law, Zio still calls Mama Shinta with the same name as before, namely Mama.
Mama Shinta sighed softly from her lips. He looked into Calina's eyes which exuded how complicated the heart of her daughter was at this time.
Then he looked at his daughter-in-law who was still at home staring at Zio with an unstoppable look of emotion. There must be something that provoked Kenzo to anger. I have to look at Zio like that. Though previously Kenzo seemed hesitant and confused if he had to meet Zio under these circumstances.
Mama Shinta sat on one of the empty couches in the living room. Staring at the faces - faces that he knew enough one by one. And prepare to mediate between the two sides.
As a parent, of course he knows and understands what the character of the children who are now called adults.
"Tell Mama, what makes you feel so heavy about this reality, son Zio?" mama Shinta asked with her motherly soft voice.
Zio who had originally cast a glance in the other direction, immediately turned his head and stared intently at Mama Shinta. The look seemed to show a protest with what had happened behind him.
"Why is my mom still asking that question?" ask Zio.
"You want to know, from yourself, son!"
Mama Shinta's question again drew a slick smile from Zio's lips.
"Why did Mama hide all this from Zio?" zio asked with a slight stomp of disappointment, certainly due to the influence of emotions inside the chest. "Why didn't Mama tell Zio that she found Calina?" he continued with a face of red extinguished holding back anger.
"Is it because Mama knows that Calina is close to a man richer than Zio?" ask Zio, "say, Ma!" zio resolute.
"Or actually Mama Shinta knew from the beginning about Calina and the man!" zio pointed at Kenzo with no more respect in him. Kalap is a handsome widower.
Mama Shinta was silent. He let the ex-daughter-in-law blur all the tightness in the chest that he was feeling. Letting him bring out all the uneg - uneg that is even beyond ordinary human reason.
Mama Shinta knows, it will not be easy to be in the position of Zio. What he knows is that Zio loved Calina before the divorce. And now finding Calina was married to her own boss, surely not an easy thing, right?
If the reason Calina was waiting for him to return, to later reconcile, he had even returned a long time ago. There's no way Kenzo wouldn't know if he'd been back.
But why does everything seem to be deliberately covered so that he does not know. If it wasn't for coincidence, it would have been impossible if he had been that person to come to her and then tell her everything that happened.
"Tell me the truth, Ma! since when did Calina and Mr. Kenzo have a relationship?" tanya Zio stared intently and in a pair of old eyes Mama Shinta. "What exactly are they old brothers cheating on you and Mama's hiding everything from Zio?" zio asked with a voice that shook his emotions. "Say, Ma!"
But Zio's last question really made Mama Shinta stunned. How not, that means Zio is talking about himself as if he can not educate children to be kind to the husband and loyal to the couple, right?"
Mama Shinta shook her head in surprise at Zio's short-sighted thinking. Isn't this former son-in-law a General Manager? Why can't you think logically about dealing with household and romance problems?
Mama Shinta and Calina looked back at each other. One that is in their minds. How to make this stubborn one soften without the path of violence that Kenzo could have done. Now Mama Shinta took over the position of Calina who had been a spokesperson to face Zio.
"You remember, Zio. About six years ago, we were just as much crying as we lost Calina" Mama Shinta said in a soft, smooth voice. "We, son, you're not the only one crying. And it's not just you who lost Calina. But Mama is also."
"Mommy didn't know where Calina was either! looking into the city, Mama would not dare to go alone. Lastly, only the news of your separation reaches your ears. That's also from you, son.." said Mama Shinta with full of his obligation as a Mother.
"And after that, you never went back to see Mama. You never showed up in front of Mama again. Surely Mama thought you were happy with Naura, your first wife."
"And Mama is happy if you are happy with her. Although in my heart Mama is still sad because Calina has not been found."
"Every day Mama can only cry, waiting for news from Calina, Mama's only child." Mama Shinta's story reminisces about the past.
"Until finally Calina arrived - came home with very surprising news."
Until here everything becomes quiet. Mama Shinta turned to her daughter who looked down miserably. Then looked at Kenzo who took a breath in waiting for the next story. And lastly he saw two hands interlocked, as if giving each other strength.
Mama Shinta looks back at Zio who is still waiting for the continuation of the story of Mama Shinta.
The man seemed to have been content to present his grievances to the three people before him.
"Calina..." Mama Shinta paused her sentence. He took a deep breath before continuing his sentence. "If.. if she is pregnant." continued Mama Shinta in a trembling voice. Because the next scene could be Zio will be angry. Because Calina filed for divorce in the middle of pregnancy.
But there is precisely Zio smiling cynically, half mocking but also looks sliced.
"Pregnant of her child?" asked Zio with a laugh. "Got to escape my house?" ask Zio again so foolishly. "Haha!" zio's laughter boomed, yet it sounded very sloppy.
Of course Zio's answer made Mama Shinta's eyes wide. How could Zio have such thoughts.
"What do you mean?" ask Mama Shinta.
"Yes, of course, when Calina ran away, she must have gone to Mr. Kenzo Adhitama's apartment. Then with various opportunities, be they have children out of wedlock!" zio's words made Mama Shinta shake her head even more in wonder. "If that is so, why don't you just marry when they come? why three years ago?"
"What are you talking about, Zio!" mama Shinta is no longer calling her son..
"What's the less obvious Zio said, Ma?" ask Zio. "If they were married three years ago, why would their child be five? what's her name if Calina's not pregnant out of wedlock? The result of an affair!"
Mama Shinta is increasingly astonished by Zio's words that are further from reality. He frowned, which was already a little wrinkled.
"It could even be that they are cheating partners! You cheap lady!" zio sneered at Calina.
THE PLAAKKK!!!!
A slap that was part of a Mother's five-finger union, landed right on Zio's left cheek. Making the cheeks of a handsome widower feel hot instantly.
"Why can you have such a dirty thought, huh?" mama Shinta asked withstanding the rumble inside her chest. "Do you think my daughter is that dirty?" mama Shinta's exclaiming is getting more and more wrathful. Staring sharply at Zio who was holding his cheek.
"Have my daughter run away from your house! No woman can live with a man like you, Zio!" mama Shinta said with a fiery rage inside her chest.
"Why don't you ever think Clarice is your son?" mama Shinta asked with tightened teeth. "Did you forget when you forcibly took the chastity of a girl you didn't love?" mama Shinta said with a trembling voice.
Even tears just dripped down his cheeks. The chest of the fireworks held back the rumbling of emotions that continued to burn. Which mother is not angry, when her good son - well, and her son who has struggled to give birth to a grandchild for her, without being accompanied by a husband.
And now it just gets that kind of sentence from his own granddaughter's father?
"Have you forgotten what my daughter's holy blood is like? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TOOK IT!!' mama Shinta yelled into the ears of anyone who heard her. "You're the culprit! And now you're saying my son cheated on you? Crazyhead!" spray Mama Shinta.
Kenzo and Calina looked at each other. Calina wants to stop her action. But Kenzo gave the code not to prevent Mama Shinta from saying what she wanted to say.
"It's fine if my daughter's husband calls you a jerk! Because you're such a jerK!!" Mama Shinta pressed the word jerk she wanted to avoid.
But the words of his ex-daughter-in-law to his daughter really provoke the anger of a mother who has given birth and raised her child.
Meanwhile, Zio, after hearing Mama Shinta why he did not think that Clarice was his daughter, made him stunned. Silence looked at Mama Shinta who was still scolding her out - exhausted.
' What's possible.... '
He murmured in his heart.
