A week passed quickly, Rendra never saw Kirana again. It wasn't that he was deliberately avoiding or anything, but there was a lot of work that he had to complete lately. His relationship with Eril was still very stiff and awkward, both of them no one wanted to budge each other.
Bella was released from the hospital today. Rendra sometimes also took the time to visit his Mama on the sidelines of his busy life, only Rendra felt a very visible difference from his mother. If Rendra asks, his mother often answers short or prefers to avoid.
Rendra knew what the problem was that it must have something to do with Kirana's past. But what can he do? She could not possibly choose between the woman she loved or her mother who had given birth to her.
"Today you can go home, I help you get down, Ma" said Rendra offering help to Bella who looks difficult to get out of bed.
Bella only glanced at her son at a glance, she then looked at her husband who was busy arranging the items to be taken home.
"By, help me get down. Let Rendra carry his belongings," said Bella, lately he often ignored Rendra. It felt like he was still not ready if he had to discuss things that would hurt his heart again.
Rendra and Axel looked at each other, as if they knew that Bella was not ready at this time. So Rendra didn't want to force it. Seeing what happened, Rendra could only puff his lips, he immediately replaced the Papa to bring the items to be brought home.
In the car there was no conversation so serious, only occasionally heard Axel asking whether Bella wanted something or not.
Arriving at the house Rendra remained silent in his room, a lot of things he thought. On the other hand he was eager to meet Kirana but there was also no time, but before that, Rendra wanted to discuss all these matters with her Mama.
So after dinner, Rendra took the time to meet the mother in her room.
"Which mom, Pa?" rendra asked Axel when he accidentally passed by the kitchen door.
"You want tea, Papa will bring it first" Axel said, showing the tea in his hand.
"Ehm Pa, let me just deliver it to Mama," said Rendra looking at her Papa with a look of knowledge.
Axel was silent for a moment, but seeing the look in his son's eyes he nodded in understanding.
"Alright, but don't be too pushy, Mama just recovered. Papa does not want Mama back to relapse later," said Axel patted his son slowly as if encouraging.
"Thank you, Pa" said Rendra sincerely, Her father really understands her.
Rendra brought the tea into Bella's room, seeing the woman who had given birth to her sitting next to the balcony staring at the night view. Slowly Rendra approached his steps.
"Mama hasn't slept?" ask her in a soft tone.
Bella gasped at Rendra's voice, she immediately turned her head and met her son's eyes. "Why did you drive? Where's papa?" ask Bella.
"Why is there a little work mah, Mama does not like if I bring tea?" said Rendra taking a seat right next to Bella.
"Why do you say that?" bella glanced at Rendra.
"Mafin Rendra, Ma" said Rendra pulled Bella's hand and held her gently.
Bella is seen taking a deep breath, she began to feel very guilty because lately often ignore her son.
"You don't have to apologize, you're not wrong" Bella said, trying to smile despite being very difficult.
"Mama's angry that I have a relationship with Kirana?" said Rendra looking at his mother with a sad look.
"That's not what Kirana wants, Ma. He had to do it" Rendra said, trying to explain.
"Mom don't know whether to believe it or not, Mama just thought why should Kirana do it? Is there no other way but to make the name of Mama's son ruined?" Bella.
"I knew that Mama would want the best for me. But believe me Ma, Kirana is not the bad woman you think she is. It was a really tough time and she could only do that if she wanted to save her mother's life." Said Rendra sounded full of emotion, he wanted to say the real thing that happened so that Mama did not misunderstand.
"If you really love her, you can marry her," said Bella throw her eyes forward, it's unbearable if let her child broken heart to obey her wishes.
"Mama agrees?" tanya Rendra chased after the eyes of her Mama who deliberately avoided her.
"If you're happy, Mama's happy too. At least that's what only Mama can do," said Bella really did not have the heart to look at the face of Rendra who currently looks very clear.
This time it was Rendra's turn to be silent, it wasn't an answer. He knew that his mother could not accept Kirana. How could he have married without the blessing of his mother.
"All right, I'll go out first. Mama rest, the medicine do not forget to drink yes Ma. Let Mama recover quickly," Rendra got up from her seat, not forgetting she took the time to kiss her mother's forehead before she left. There is no point if he continues to insist on explaining, at this time his mother is still too shocked and has not accepted all this reality.
Bella can only bite her lips firmly, guilt and also not willing to immediately wrestle himself. Is it wrong for him to behave like this?

Today was a very sunny day, but the clear weather did not seem to apply to Kirana. His days were only filled with a dark and cloudy feeling of black. I don't know how long since the incident he came to Rendra's house, the man has not shown the trunk of his nose until now. If it is busy, maybe just contacting him is not done at all.
Kirana often wonders, has Rendra given up and does not want to fight back? But Kirana is also self-conscious that if their relationship continues, it will only hurt Rendra's family and Kirana does not want it to happen.
"Kiran, don't daydream, don't you see that all the apples are full? Why do you keep filling it?" senior reprimand Kiran at the department store.
Kirana was surprised to see what she was doing. "Sorry sister, I'm sorry, I didn't pay much attention" Kirana said, quickly tidying up the apples.
"You go home first, I think you have a problem, why? Try telling Sister," senior Kiran asked, she is older than Kirana so she has the conscience of an older sister who sees her sister with a lot of thoughts.
"No, sister, I'm just a little dizzy" Kirana told me she had to lie.
"Seriously you? If you have a problem, you go home first. It's not good to work if you have a lot of thoughts, then even more your work," said senior attention to Kirana.
"Thank you, sister, I really don't papa," Kirana said with a faint smile, she immediately fidgeted again her work. After finishing it, he then threw out some trash that had recently been piled up in the corner of the convenience store.
When Kirana came out, she saw a black van parked not far from the department store. Kirana was silent staring at the car, somehow she felt familiar, she also seemed to see the figure of the man sitting in the car and was staring at her.
"He's like Rendra," Kirana muttered feeling that the man's silhouette was very similar to Rendra's.
Kirana shook her head, expelling the crazy thoughts that suddenly crept in her head.
"Maybe I thought too much about it," Kirana immediately decided to re-enter the department store and finish her work
