When I Choose Silence
64.Fish in the Pool

When the night air felt more piercing, Kalandra still enjoyed a cup of coffee that had even tasted cold in the Balcony of the house owned by the Carnation family, while staring at the crescent moon that was surrounded by black clouds.

Almost half a pack of cigarettes he spent, to vent all the flavors embedded in his heart at this time.

"You smoke Kala?" Mama Carielir came to surprise Kalandra, carrying a thick blanket in her hand.

"Eh.. Mama, why haven't you slept?" Kala asked while turning off her cigarette butts, even though she had just burned a little.

"Are you two fighting?"

Suddenly Mama Carnation sat down while hugging the blanket to just be a listener from her daughter-in-law.

"Emmm... Yes Ma, but I'll finish it soon." Replied Kalandra who seemed unable to cover it from the woman who had given birth to his wife.

"Every household must have a fight, because the higher the tree will be stronger the wind, but as long as your household roots are strong, it will be fine." He already knew, even from the beginning, but he chose to monitor the situation only until now.

"Ma, tomorrow I and Anyelir want to go somewhere and will likely stay overnight, the day after tomorrow, so Kalandra nitip Kanaya ya Ma." Kalandra all want to leave, because tomorrow morning she will leave with Carnations to a beautiful place and she will not forget throughout the course of her life.

"No problem, but where are you going?" Mama Anyelir replied, who did not mind at all, because it had been a long time since she missed her first grandchild.

"Ma's honeymoon, hehe." Answer Kalandra who tries to joking so that the atmosphere does not look stiff.

"Children are new to your honeymoon, first why try?" Ledek Mama Carielir while smiling sleekly, but deep in her heart she felt happy, if Kalandra really wanted to make her daughter happy.

"Sorry Ma, I used to be too busy with work, not even thinking about honeymoon." Kalandra answered with her shoulder face, it was true because of work but it was only one percent, and the other was all because of Jenny.

"Yes, no problem, honeymoon is not only after the bride has just, even more often it is better to keep the harmony in your household awake." Mama Carnation replied with a smile.

"Mama, thank you so much."

After taking a deep breath, Kalandra again made Mama Anyelir's attention distracted.

"For?" Asked Mama Carnation by raising both of her eyebrows.

"Thank you for allowing Kalandra to marry a woman as good as Carnation." Kalandra pronounces with a face that looks sad and both eyes that look cute.

"What's this?" Asked Mama Carnation who took her breath slowly.

"No papa Ma, Kala just wanted to apologize to Mama, if during our marriage, Kalandra could not make Mama's daughter happy." Somehow when talking from heart to heart with Mama Carnation she felt relaxed, as if chatting with her own biological mother.

"Why is this melow?" Mama Carnation immediately turned her face away, afraid that she would even shed her tears.

"I'm sorry Kalandra Ma, if Kala can't be a good husband to Carnations." Say Kalandra with her voice, while grabbing Mama Carnations right hand and sticking it on her head.

"You're talking about Kalandra, Mama, you're afraid of this." Mama Anyelir sontak pulled her hand, because her crying almost broke due to Kalandra's behavior.

"Ma.. if later Kalandra can not always be close and with Carnations, please help Kala to keep the Carnations yes Ma, Kanaya as well." Kalandra's tears just flowed and were difficult to bear, because in fact she was very afraid of losing both women in her life.

"Where are you going? are you suffering from a dangerous disease, or is it late-stage? Kalandra don't scare Mama okay?" As a parent, he thought about something else

"No Ma, Kalandra is healthy, only with the economic situation of Kalandra as it is today, Kalandra is not sure can make Anyelir and Kanaya happy until the end." Answer then.

"You mean what Kalandra, not all women are his loyalty measured only by money and material know not!" Mama Anyelir immediately glared, his sense of smell changed with a sense of annoyance because he did not agree with Kalandra.

"I know Ma, I did not accuse Carnations like that, but Kalandra felt very sick, if later had to see Carnations tormented by living with me in this difficult situation." Reply Kalandra who does look desperate.

"Trus wants you what?" Shouted Mama Carnation who wanted to know what she planned next.

"Kalandra didn't expect anything Ma, Kalandra just wanted to see Anyelir and Kanaya happy that's all, so if Kalandra couldn't continue by her side to accompany her, Kalandra asked Mama to always cheer Anyelir and Kanaya." Kalandra tried to calm the atmosphere that felt heated, for fear that the sound of Mama Carnations' screams woke the others.

"You don't want to move Planet, do you, Kalandra?" Umpat Mama Carnation back.

"Of course not Mama."

"Then will you leave my daughter?" Mama Carnation immediately spoke without further ado.

"I didn't expect that at all Ma, really!" Said Kalandra who felt wrong, worried and also hesitant.

"So?" Her voice was really not friendly, because she felt disappointed by Kalandra's words as if giving up easily, because it was not what Mama Carielir expected.

"Emmm... I just want to ask Mama for help, to replace me comforting Carnations when I can't always be by her side."

"Already Kala, do not talk about the macem-macem, if we try to survive in the slump there will certainly be a way out in every quarrel between husband and wife." Mama Kalandra immediately brought the blanket back.

"Yes Ma." And Kalandra chose to stop the chat, for fear that later it would even make a scene these nights.

"Then get some rest, don't smoke a lot, it's not good for health, he said he wants a honeymoon, just look out for home not bring seedlings adeknya Kanaya, and remember one more thing." He turned back to look out of the room with a sharp look.

"What is Ma?" Asked Kalandra who immediately wiped away the remaining tears, for some reason she was so weak at the moment.

"When you want to see the fish in the pond.. Calm the water as clear as glass.. When the eyes are on the quiet girl.. The way is not the same as flirting with frisky virgins.. Oi.. No, not just yet.. Don't be disturbed.. Let's just sit quietly." With a relaxed Mama Anyelir humming ria in front of Kalandra with the aim of giving advice through the song.

"The object. Mama's voice is cool too." Kalandra immediately gave her thumbs up with a little smile, Mama-in-law was no less extraordinary.

"Mama sure you can conquer the heart of your daughter, don't give up okay!" Shouted Mama Carnation back before she disappeared behind the wall.

But Kalandra only answered with a little smile, she felt guilty for having to get caught up in her own game like this.

After leaving Kalandra who seemed to still want to be pensive to think about her nationality in the Balcony, Mama Carnations immediately ran a little to her room.

"Have you, why are you panicking so, are there ghosts in our house?" Ask Papa Carnation who was astonished.

"Even this is more sinister than a ghost." Mama Carnation's chirps that made her husband's face slightly stiffened.

"What the hell is Ma, don't you want Papa?" Said Papa Carnation who immediately moved away from the bed, afraid that Kanaya would wake up because of their voice.

"Well, if Papa should just finish the game, restore the Kalandra company's condition as before, pity her Pa!"

And the mastermind of the bankruptcy of the Kalandra company is Papa Anyelir.

"It's only been a few days of bankruptcy, why do you feel sorry for that? It's not how much he's been doing to our child all this time Mah, has Mama forgotten." Said Papa Anyelir who had only recently known about the problems that befell his daughter, but once he knew, he immediately acted quickly and subtly, as if he was not the culprit.

"It's not good that Pah takes revenge like that, then what's the difference between us and him if this is how it is?" Said Mama Carnation who was worried about herself.

"Papa not revenge Mah, Papa was just a little lesson to Kalandra, so that he does not underestimate others, let alone his son Papa, Papa, could he defend other women and hurt our beloved daughter, if Carnations choose silence, it does not mean I have to be like that, I used to work hard to make Carnations, he said, but Kalandra who dapetin him when it was ripe and delicious eaten kok to dare to hurt my daughter, Papa's heart also hurt tau no Ma." As a biological father, it is natural that he did that, even though the way was wrong, but it is only in that way, so that Kalandra feels deterred.

"But Pah, I'm afraid Kalandra will leave Carnations." He was suspicious of Kalandra's words with him earlier.

"Why is he the one who left Carnations?" Ask Papa Carnation in surprise.

"So even Kalandra apologized to Mama and asked Mama to comfort Carnations, she seemed to want to take off Carnations for fear of not being able to make Anyelir and Kanaya happy because they were bankrupt." Clearly Mama Carnation with a restless face.

"That's it, don't think too much!" Said Papa Carnation who was still not satisfied giving the lesson to Kalandra.

"What does Papa mean? Emang Papa had the heart to see Anyelir become a widow, they now look to love each other Pah." As a parent he could definitely become a sharp observer by looking at the situation alone.

"If they really love each other should not have to separate, do not give up on the situation, both struggle, it's true." The establishment of Papa Anyelir is strong, he feels that Kalandra has a lot to learn about the meaning of life.

"But Pa-" But as a mother who has more sensitive feelings she still can't bear her person.

"Trust all to the Almighty, if indeed they are in a match, there will certainly be a way for them to get back together, but if not, let it be a lesson for Kalandra, in order not to waste a woman who sincerely loves him in her life." Said Papa Anyelir who had actually been holding back the annoyance from earlier, that's why when Kalandra came he deliberately did not chat as much as usual.

"Keep the Carnation How Pah?" Ask Mama Anyelir who looks worried, because everywhere her name is separation, the child will be the victim and she does not want Kanaya to lose the affection of one of her parents.

"Let him by his decision, he's an adult, let's go to sleep, don't talk about it anymore." Papa Anyelir immediately sauntered away to his bed that had been occupied by Kanaya, because of the plan they would sleep three tonight.

"Oh my God, O Lord, forgive the sins of your servant's husband, he loves only his daughter very much and just does not want his flesh and blood to be hurt by a man, he said, may You give the best way for Carnations and Calandra, amen." As for Mama Carnation who can not do anything if her husband has willed, so she chose to pray for the good of her daughter's relationship.

As a parent he was only able to advise her, but all the decisions were in the hands of his daughter, because the one who would live the household ark was his daughter, not him, so he does not want to interfere too deeply about the heart and feelings of each.

From the beginning of Papa Carnation planned this, actually Mama Carnation was not hearty, but when Papa Carnation showed evidence to him by sending his men to follow Kalandra and Carnation, he also came to know about everything and felt unacceptable as well as it turned out.

It is not a difficult thing to change the situation, especially Papa Anyelir knows very well the ins and outs of Kalandra's company, with ease he can destroy the company, even though he does not intend to end, even if he does not intend to, there will come a time when he will return everything to Kalandra.
