After meeting Martha and her two children. Brigit invited them home. She only briefly mince words with her in-laws because their relationship has been strained since Brigit eloped with Martha.
The two parents of Martha also did not talk much, although inwardly did not like her daughter-in-law more had hurt her heart, but the anger was her they were quiet in the heart.
They did not want to hurt his two grandchildren, if today to berate his useless daughter-in-law.
They know that during Brigit's wife, Martha who went to school to become a bachelor, worked to help her husband's economy.
Brigit and Martha shake hands with them, as do Tegar and Lucy.
"Grandpa, next time we'll come again, we'll be happy to stay here" said Tegar.
"Yes cu, invite your mother to stay here every time you go on school holidays" said his grandfather.
"Sure cake,"
"Mom, next time Lucy goes on vacation, we'll stay at Grandpa's house, ma'am" Lucy said curiously.
"Yes, baby,"
Martha kissed her mother and father's hands.
"We go home first, sir, Mom,"
"Yes, kid. Come here often,"
Martha nodded.
Brigit also said goodbye and headed to his motorbike. There are online taxis waiting there.
Martha and Lucy will take an online taxi, while Tegar will piggyback on her father.
The trip is approximately one hour without congestion, if it gets stuck then it can be two hours drive.
Although only one hour, but both parents Martha never know where her son lives. Because communication was cut off since he left home and never came back.
After his son and daughter-in-law left, Martha's parents chatted, his wife was seen wiping her tears.
"Sir, is our decision correct sir? We're letting Brigit bring Martha and her son back?" his wife said while sitting next to her husband.
"The father is actually also worried about Mom, but the children are still small, if they split up, then they will be the victims and do not understand the problems faced by parents,"
Suddenly Martha's only sister came in without knocking on the door. His eyes stared at his parents.
Iskan had just returned from work from out of town, and heard from his neighbor who worked with him if his brother came home after so many years.
"Mom, he said Martha's coming home, where now? And where is her useless husband?" He stood facing them.
"They're home" answered his mother.
"Sit here, why do you look so angry?" Ask mother.
"How not to be angry Mom, they've made you sad for years. Sister Martha too, why still believe in that useless man."
"Hhhh, we've forgiven both of them Iskan. They already have two children, and seeing my grandchildren, it's not to our hearts that we'll bring up the past again" said his mother.
"But Iskan still did not accept Ma'am, the two of them had gone too far. No matter the family for years. Didn't even come to my wedding,"
"Iskan, now that your sister Martha is in trouble, you better forget your feud, you're just two brothers, don't hate each other. Especially now that your brother wants to go back home, then let the past pass. You two brothers are starting to get along again like before," his mother advised Iskan, his second child.
Martha and Iskan were two brothers. Iskan's only brother. Their relationship has been strained since Martha loved a man named Brigit.
Repeatedly Iskan caught Brigit with other women while still dating Martha.
And when she told her brother that, she did not believe and that made Iskan more upset and angry, because they decided to leave the house and never returned.
Iskan searched for Martha here and there, all over the city. And his family worried even his mother until sickly thinking about him. So did her father, they both suffered since Martha had no news.
Iskan was really hurt, especially to Brigit, the man who had influenced his brother to fight against his own family.
And forbid Martha to meet or relate to all members of her family.
Iskan smiled cynically.
"No ma'am, Iskan still can't forget what they've done" Iskan said and walked out of the house.
At home, he is greeted by his son and his wife Nella.
"Bang, how? Did you meet Martha?" Nella asked, opening the door.
"Religious. They're already home. And that makes me never think, father and mother, just forgive what they have done. I was disappointed with them," Iskan said as he sat down and leaned back on the chair.
"Maybe my mother forgave them. If so, you should also forgive Mbak Martha with her husband," said his wife softly.
Iskan stared intently at his wife and made Nella silent.
"Don't equate me with them Nella, I'm the most affected by the actions of both of them. I postponed my lecture because I took care of my father and mother who alternated sickly because of thinking about Martha's mother. Did Martha ever think of us?"
Nella just stared at her husband without making a sound. He was silent because right now Iskan was disappointed and upset.
Any advice would only make him angry. Especially if you defend both of your brothers-in-law.

At home, Martha cleaned all her clothes and put them in the closet.
All the clothes of his two children were neat in the original place. He then cleaned his own clothes, not in Brigit's room, but in his son's room.
Brigit walked in and gently touched his wife's shoulder.
"Ma, how's the shirt put here. Why not just put it in our room?" brigit asked Martha to look over.
"Look, I'll just sleep here, so my clothes will be here,"
"You're still angry, ma" asked Brigit.
"Just angry isn't enough pa, I'm still not ready to sleep in our room. I remember a woman named Sarita every time you touched me. I also remember, you touched that woman,"
"Ma, you think, if you come back with the kids then we'll live happily like we used to" Brigit said.
"That can't be pa, a broken plate can you put it back together without a trace? If it could, it wouldn't be the same,"
"Don't say so dong ma, papa still loves mama. I don't want to lose my mom and my kids,"
"It's pa, let me clean up first. This kind of talk still won't come to an end, let me calm myself down, I don't want my two children to see their mother cry,"
"Ma...." Brigit hugged Martha.
But this time Martha did not cry again like before every time Brigit hugged her.
Indeed, what makes it easy to cry is to remember the sacrifices he has made, the life he has risked, for the sake of the man who promised to love him to death.
But, her husband's faith is easily swayed by the temptation of beautiful women. And it was Martha's fault. He chose a man who had such thin obedience to God.
If Brigit were a man who obeyed God and his religion, then he would be a good priest for his family.
That's what Martha regrets. He rejects Jimmy's love of Ustadz and chooses a man who only has a handsome face and turns his life into miserable after becoming his wife.
Now, ustadz Jimmy is happy with another woman, even though he's being betrothed.
After Martha decided to run away with Brigit, Ustadz Jimmi received a proposal from the parents of a woman named Sadiga. And they were married, in Martha's heart thought, if Sadiga's life must be very happy because her husband is Sholeh's man.
