Naima sat on the edge of her bed. The woman sighed many times staring at photos of herself, her late husband and her two sons. Then she turned to looking at pictures of herself and her late husband. Naima still loves her late husband. The sudden departure of her husband to his side left Naima devastated. Save his own grief and distract him by gathering with his social friends to forget all his sadness and loneliness.
"If Hendrik did love that woman and really changed because of that woman, would I have to bless them, pa?"naima asked looking at the photo of her husband with teary eyes, "But..why must the former butterfly night? It doesn't matter if it's not on par with us like Aurora. But. former night butterfly.. Even if the boy is brengseek, I'm sure there must be a nice girl who wants to be his life partner. Don't have to marry a former night butterfly,"
Rayyan goes into her room and sees Aurora lying on the Tantra sofa playing her phone. The woman sat up when she saw Rayyan enter their room.
"Why haven't you slept?"rayyan asked as she approached Aurora.
"I'm waiting for you. What are you talking to Mama? Why so long?"aurora asked, looking at Rayyan who was already sitting next to her.
"I told my mom to see my sister in her office. So that mama knows that sister has changed,"that Rayyan who did not lie.
Aurora seemed dissatisfied with Rayyan's reply. Aurora believes that Rayyan and her mother must be talking about Hendrik and Sumi.
"Why do you see me like that?"rayyan asked with one eye to look at Aurora.
"You.. You're not talking about brother and Sumi?"aurora asked doubtfully.
"Why? You're very curious?"rayyan asked with a faint smile.
"Issh. I asked, you asked back," said Aurora.
"On that, let your own brother talk to your mother. Who's getting married, right, sister.
Not me,"so Rayyan hugged Aurora from the side, putting her chin over Aurora's shoulder.
"Will my mom approve of their relationship? Sumi is a former night butterfly. I'm not sure mama will approve of their relationship" Aurora said with a deep sigh.
"No need to think about things that make you feel burdened. Is not soul mate, fortune and death arranged before we are born into this world? So, we don't have to worry about anything. Live our lives as well as we can. Because as hard and hard as we try, if something is not destined for us, then we will never have it. But that doesn't mean we are living life. We must still have dreams and hopes so that we can be excited to live life. Even if our hopes and dreams cannot come true, they are not the best for us. Disappointed because what we expect and dream does not meet expectations is natural. But don't make us desperate and discouraged. Rest assured! Everything will be fine as long as we keep trying and thinking positively," Rayyan said at length.
"Talk is easy, Ray. It's as easy as turning the palm. The hard thing is to make it happen. Because practice is not as easy as theory, "sahut Aurora took a deep breath.
"I knew. But shouldn't we keep trying?"rayyan said as she stroked Aurora's stomach.
"of course. When we are hungry, rice and side dishes on a plate that is already in front of our eyes, will not go into our mouths alone, if there is no effort. We have to keep trying to get it off the plate and feed it into our mouths so we can eat it,"
"My wife is smart. In that case, I will give you a gift," Rayyan said with a slanted smile.
Aurora frowned and looked at Rayyan. And a few moments later...
"Rayy!"aurora shrieked as Rayyan suddenly lifted her body. Aurora reflex wrapped her hands around Rayyan's neck.
"What do you want?"ask Aurora.
"You think?"rayyan asked as she laid Aurora's body on the bed.
"Haiss.you didn't give me a gift. But, asking for a gift, "Aurora grumbled when Rayyan had already wrapped her body.
"The baby's grandfather wants to be seen with his father" whispered Rayyan in Aurora's ear.
"Mode,"sahut Aurora but smiled faintly.

Naima looked at the building in front of her. Slowly the middle-aged woman stepped into the building. Look at the busy people around the place. Hendrik's assistant who had been contacted by Andi also welcomed the arrival of Naima. Naima did not meet Hendrik directly, but went around looking at the office where his son worked. Naima finally arrived at the scene. His son seemed focused on doing the shoot, not realizing his presence.
"Sir, lunch will be together, yuk!"bring a sexy model who has just been photographed by Hendrik.
"Sorry! I've had lunch appointments with other people" said Hendrik without looking at the model. The handsome man's eyes focused on his camera.
"Tumben, dicuekin? Usually if there is a little clear directly in the seducer," muttered Naima shriek.
Naima knew very well how her son was. Always spread the charm in front of all the women. However, this time it even looks indifferent, even though the woman who approached it was beautiful.
"Master!"call Hendrik's assistant.
"I have an hour and a half to rest, right? After that I just met the client" said Hendrik with eyes that focus on the camera, seeing one by one the shooting results earlier.
"Mrs Naima wants to see you" said Hendrik's assistant.
"Mama? Where's?"asked Hendrik enthusiastically.
"That" said Hendrik's assistant pointing at Naima who walked over to Hendrik.
"Mama.." said Hendrik then reviewed the smile. There was a feeling of happiness when his mother approached him at his place of work.
"Mama hasn't seen you in a long time" Naima said with a smile.
"Come, let's go to my private room!"hendrik said smilingly embracing the woman who had conceived and raised herself to her private room.
"Your room is comfortable as well, Hen," said Naima after they entered Hendrik's private room.
"Yes,ma. Rayyan is really good at organizing everything. In this room, I felt like I was at home," said Hendrik honestly.
"Oh, huh? So, you plan to stay here and not go home?"naima asked with one eye.
"Not so is the concept, ma. It's just, if I stay here, I'm more time efficient,"
"Ohh, I don't think you intend to go home anymore,"
"Even when I go home, I rarely see my mother. Mama, ' right, always stay and travel with mama's socialite friends,"sahut Hendrik who is right.
"Hen, mama wants to talk to you" Naima said with a serious-looking expression.
"What do you want to talk about?"ask Hendrik who is taking it seriously.
"Mama heard everything from your sister. So, mama wants to talk about your intention to marry that woman,"
Hendrik took a deep breath hearing his mother's words. It seemed like he had to get ready to argue with the woman who had conceived and raised him.
"Ma, I love him. And I want to live with him. Even if my mother is against our relationship, I will still marry her" Hendrik said firmly, calmly and without hesitation. Affirmed his stance before his mother discussed further about his decision.
"Even if you won't think of you as a child again after you marry her?"
