Bima's father seemed to frown at his forehead glancing at his son and wife who had been sitting in the saung ever since just silent. The two of them stared in the same direction.
"What do you see? From now on it seems like you are looking at someone else," asked Bima's father, then gazed in the direction where the child and his wife were staring. While Bima and his mother seemed surprised to hear the question of Bima's father.
"No, sir," said Bima.
"Mom.it's nothing, kok,"sahut Bima's mother.
The mother and son looked at themselves when Bima's father was staring at Aurora.
"He is.."dad Bima did not continue his words. The man seemed to be recalling the woman he was currently seeing.
"Who?"Ask the younger brother of Bima's father to look in the direction where Bima's father's gaze was, "Ohh. That's Mr. Rayyan and his wife, "that man who works as a cop.
"Mr Rayyan?"ask Bima's father who doesn't know who Rayyan is. Given that not many know the face of Rayyan other than among business people.
"Yes. He is a rich businessman in this country. You could say the number one richest businessman in the country. Because his wealth and Mr. Aiden's wealth are the same. So he and Mr. Aiden are the richest men in the country. And both are friends. Offending Mr. Rayyan meant offending Mr. Aiden, and vice versa, "that Bima's father's younger brother.
"Maybe his wife is many. Such a rich man, who might be loyal to one partner only, "tapuk Bima's mother smiled cynically. I wish Aurora was just the mistress of a rich man. Not accepting when she heard Aurora became the wife of a rich man after parting ways with her son.
ENVIED? Just think of it that way.
"Nonsense! Although rich, Rayyan is not a typical man who likes to play women. Rayyan's mother and I were friends. So I know very well that Rayyan only has one wife, namely Aurora,"that sister-in-law of Bima's father.
"That's lucky the beard. Really smart to snare a guy. Even until now, Bima still loves him, "grumbled Bima's mother in heart.
"I've heard rumors, if Mr. Rayyan razed a nightclub and dismantled the crime of its owner who had not been sniffed by the police. And that's because the owner of the nightclub kidnapped Mr. Rayyan's wife for sale, "sahut Bima's father's sister.
"What's right, pa?"ask Bima's father's sister's wife.
"I think it's right. We heard confessions from some of the people we arrested at the club that night. That night, Mr. Rayyan's assistant delivered a lot of evidence of the nightclub owner's crimes to the police. We did TKP. However, after we did TKP, the dawn of the nightclub was burning and the morning was flat with the ground" explained Bima's father's sister.
"But, it was only natural that Rayyan did that. Rayyan loved his wife very much. His son is beautiful, does not fight the same in-laws, is not arrogant, does not like to spend money like most wives of rich people in general, hardworking again. Despite being the wife of a rich man, Aurora still manages her business that has been pioneered before marriage, "sister-in-law Bima's father.
Hearing his aunt's words, Bima can only smile bitterly considering her relationship with Aurora who ran aground because of the blessing of her parents.
"Had my father and mother blessed our relationship, I would have been very happy to have a wife like Aurora. Unfortunately, the mother and father only looked at Aurora from her educational background and family. Until finally Aurora gave up on our relationship," muttered Bima in heart.
"Have I been wrong because I didn't approve of Bima's relationship with Aurora?"bima's father murmured in his heart when he saw Bima's face that looked unhappy.
"Oh, yeah, does brother know any of them? I noticed, you guys often steal a glance towards the saung occupied by Rayyan," asked Bima's father-in-law's sister.
"Aurora's Bima's ex-boyfriend,"that's Bima's father.
"Correct? Too bad you guys are just dating. Aurora is his dream daughter-in-law, you know. Aurora must have loved your monkey, huh?"terka sister-in-law Bima's father then chuckled.
Bima did not answer. Only a bitter smile was visible on his face. A dash of his heart as his parents resolutely reject his relationship with Aurora. And a dash of his heart as he recalled Aurora chose to give up continuing their relationship. And now he looks happy, but not with her.
"Why is your face like that, Bim? Don't tell me you still love Aurora!"bima said aunty guessed.
"Where may Bima still love him. You know for yourself, don't you, that Bima already has a fiancee?"kilah Ibu Bima's.
"It's good that you don't love Aurora. Because she has become the wife of people, "that aunt Bima while glancing at Bima who looks moody.
"Even if you still love that woman, you better forget her, Bim. Don't you offend Mr. Rayyan. Although many of our families are soldiers and police, but the position and power we have will not be able to win compared to money" said Bima's uncle.
"Yes, uncle. I see,"soo Bima with a bowed face.
"Damn! It is only fitting that the beard dares to oppose me. It turns out that her husband is a powerful man, "the curse of Bima's mother in the heart.

"Finally my mom came home too" said Rayyan, who had been waiting for her mother to come home to discuss Hendrik's problems.
"Mama's only three days to stay at mama's friend's resort. But you said as if mom had been gone a long time ago,"
"Yes, already. Mama rest first. It's dinner soon. We'll have dinner together" Rayyan said.
"Hum,"sohut Naima.
An hour later, Rayyan, Aurora and Naima were sitting on the dining table. They haven't had dinner together in a long time. Because Rayyan is busy with work and Naima is rarely at home.
"Son't you go home too?"asked Naima who did not see the whereabouts of her eldest son.
"Sister sleeps in his photo studio, ma. There is a private room that you can use to rest, "sahut Rayyan.
Before Hendrik's business was operated, Rayyan had seen the entire room where Hendrik would be used to run the business. So Rayyan knows very well if in Hendrik's photo studio there is a private room for Hendrik to rest.
"It's a disgrace. What could make your lazy brother a hard worker?"asked Naima who was really surprised by Hendrik's change.
"Let's talk about that, ma. We'll have dinner first," said Rayyan.
"Okey," said Naima, then looked towards Aurora, "You and your gist are fine, right?"
"Well, ma," said Aurora with a smile. Although Naima was just asking about her situation, Aurora was happy. Because of Naima's question, Aurora has shown Naima's attention and concern for herself and the fetus in her birth.
"Thank God. No morning sickness, is it?"ask Naima again.
"No, ma,"sahut Aurora.
"good. Yes, let's eat. You have to eat nutritious food so that you and your baby are healthy" Naima said.
Naima seemed happy to be able to have dinner with her son and daughter-in-law in a warm atmosphere. An atmosphere she has not felt since her husband died.
"Ray, what do you want to eat?"aurora asked softly while taking Rayyan's plate.
"I can take it myself, baby. Let me get you some food," Rayyan said, taking Aurora's plate, and then taking Aurora's plate.
"I can take it myself, Ray," Sahut Aurora.
"okkey. Eat a lot, huh?"sahut Rayyan was full of smiles.
"Over this time, I was wrong. I forced Rayyan to marry the girl of my choice who turned out not to be a good girl. I even tried to get rid of Aurora from Rayyan's side. What kind of mother am I? I almost ruined my own son's happiness. I was completely blinded by Natalie who was no better than a comfort woman. It's a good thing Aurora is willing to forgive me. Otherwise, maybe Rayyan will hate me forever, Naima muttered in her heart.
Seeing Rayyan who is so considerate and looks very happy with Aurora, makes Naima feel sorry and guilty for having opposed Rayyan and Aurora's relationship.
A few minutes later, the three of them finished their dinner.
"Ma, I want to talk about Hendrik's brother.
