Rido swallowed his own saliva.
'Why did you ask Zumi that?'
Rido felt his food was no longer tasteful, even though Rido was just about to spoon his food. Her stomach hasn't been feeding her at all since.
"This mom also wants to have a granddaughter of the two of you" continued Ms. Helena.
Ms. Helena watched Rido and stopped at Zumi, very long. However, Zumi was silent.
Rido searches for the whereabouts of Zumi's hand, Rido clasps Zumi's hand tightly under the table. Zumi enjoys Rido's hand grip as the strength to be patient to get the gaze of the in-laws who are arguably not as usual.
Actually, Ms. Helena basically has a good nature, it can be seen how Ms. Helena treats all her daughters-in-law including Zumi. His grandchildren are also very good.
Ms. Helena can be a good parent, in-law, and grandmother in her luxurious home.
I don't know what Ms. Helena is thinking about Zumi right now. Rido hoped, Mrs Helena did not speak any further.
Rido felt a sense of dislike emanating as Ny Helena looked at Zumi.
Just this time Rido saw it, really new this time.
"Ma, we're definitely gonna have kids. Just like Shofie and Chaca" said Rido.
Ms. Helena sighed. Threw a drink in front of him and then in a three-stiff drink.
"Rido, mama wants to talk to you after this. Mama to the room first," said Mrs Helena put her glass on the table and then stood up from her chair.
"Lho, Mama didn't eat?" ask Shofie.
Mrs Helena smiled.
"Easy mom, you guys keep eating it. Mama stay first yes," said Mrs Helena.
"Rido, mama wait in the room," he continued until he finally left everyone who was still busy eating food.
After the departure of Ms. Helena no one commented anything, they continued eating except Rido. Rido's feeling suddenly became uneasy.
'What do you want to talk to?' ask Rido to yourself in your heart.
"Mass? Why not eat?" ask Zumi slowly.
"Yeah, yeah, I eat. You also eat a lot of yes, let's be fat," said Rido, Rido tried to be calm and act as usual so as not to invite the attention of Zumi and the others.

Geck... Geck...
Rido knocked on Miss Helena's room door twice. After hearing the answer from inside the room, Rido held the door handle and pushed him.
She saw Mrs Helena standing by the window, looking out. Undeterred.
"Ma," said Rido. Rido closed the door of the room back.
"Are you really done eating?" ms. Helena asked, still looking out the window, back at Rido.
"Already, Ma. What's up, Ma? What would you like Mama to talk about?" Rido still stood in his place.
Ms. Helena turned her body around, looking at Rido lovingly.
"Rido, mama there's something you want to show me. You come here."
"Take a look at this" asked Mrs Helena. Rido received some photos from Mrs Helena's hand.
'This is Nita!' inner Rido.
'This is not wrong, this is Nita. Damn woman who ever made me hurt, Rido continued in his heart. His jaw hardened without being asked.
"She's a fine and beautiful woman anyway, she's Mr.'s son. James. Her name was Natalia James but she was called Nita. The plan is that Mama will meet you both. What do you think, Rido?" ask Mrs Helena with a smile.
"Ap... What, Ma? Mama wants to meet us both? In what order?" tanya Rido did not understand.
"Mama wants you two to know each other better, frankly Mama wants you to get married later. Although Zumi will be able to get pregnant but mama is not sure it will work, mama already wants to rush to have grandchildren so you should meet soon because this determines the future of you and our family," mang Ny Helena.
Rido shook his head quickly.
"Can't, Ma. I've already married Zumi, did Mama forget about it?"
Mrs Helena smiled wryly.
"Mama will never forget if Mama has a useless ghost like Zumi. So mama wants you to marry Nita, Nita has agreed and you also have to agree. It's all for the survival of our family. As long as you know, Rido... Nita is a woman who is still single and there is no defect in the eyes of mama," Ny Helena's story at length.
Rido clucked loudly.
Rido knows how Nita really is, she is a woman who likes to be alone in men. Even Rido has been repeatedly hurt because Rido's love was played by Nita.
Nita is a fashionable woman, her body is like a model. Her skin was yellow with brown hair and had brown eye beads as well.
Because Nita is attractive, many men are after her. Rido thinks he is the only man Nita loves but in fact Rido often finds Nita dating other men and alternating too. Until finally Rido had to slowly forget Nita which is actually very difficult Rido did.
'That kind of woman you call a good woman?' inner Rido was upset.
"You've set a time for you to meet tonight at Lembayung cafe at 8" continued Mrs Helena.
Rido's standing.
"No, Ma. Rido can't find him" said Rido quickly.
"Lho why can't you? What reason? It's not an option but it's a must, Rido!" press Mrs Helena.
"But, Ma. Rido already has a wife and why mom can be so sure that she is a good woman. Just look at the model like that, only Zumi is the only woman who will be your daughter-in-law. Not Nita," replied Rido, his hand putting pictures of Nita on the bed.
Rido rubbed his face with his palm. Ms. Helena kept paying attention to Rido.
"You doubt your mama's vision, do you, Rido? If you have doubts about your mother, it is impossible that you are with Zumi at the moment. You know which women are good and which women are not good. Mama admits, Zumi is a good woman. But it's not enough if you can't have children" said Mrs Helena at length.
"Ma! Zumi can't have children, but he can't have children yet! Mama should keep that in mind!" Now Rido's voice is slightly elevated due to his emotions that can not be controlled.
Mrs Helena stood up immediately.
Plaque!
Rido is unable to do anything when Rido gets a hard slap from Mrs Helena. At the age of Rido who has stepped on 30 years, this is the first time Mrs Helena slapped Rido's cheek.
"You have already started to dare to argue and yell at mama! You forgot who was in front of you? This mother is the one who gave birth to you, this mother who raised you alone. Did you forget all that, Rido?"
Rido did not dwell on getting scolding from Ms. Helena. Unfortunately everything that Ms. Helena said was true.
Even Rido idolized Mrs Helena for her toughness of being a great woman. But not unexpectedly in the least before, if today Rido had to be involved in an uncomfortable quarrel with Mrs Helena.
