"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?"naima asked Hendrik round his eyes, looking at his mother with a look of disbelief.
"Why? Don't you want me to have a family and live happily?"asked Hendrik sighing that felt tight in his chest.
Hendrik knew, there was a high possibility that his mother would not approve of Sumi being his life companion. Arguably 99.99 percent chance that her mother will not approve of her relationship with Sumi. However, Hendrik did not expect that his mother would say she would no longer consider herself a child if she insisted on marrying Sumi.
"Of course you want to have a family and live happily. But with a woman who deserves you, Hen. You are a handsome and rich man. Many good women who have a good educational background and family out there who want to be your life companion. Why do you have to pick a lady ex-night butterfly, Hen?"naima asked a rough breath.
Naima knows and is also aware, his son is a love explorer brengseek man. A Casanova who had been living in a country move. Either for the sake of his hobby as a photographer who often photograph beautiful places in various parts of the world, or his soul Casanova who wants to enjoy the body of women from various parts of the world. But for sure, over the years, Hendrik did not make much money from his hobby as a photographer. In fact, you could say, the income from his hobby is only one percent of his expenses every month.
"Ma, I'm sure. Even very sure. If out there there must be many who want to be my life companion. With a good educational and family background. But, can you guarantee that the women are also good women? It's not like Natalie you've ever been proud of as your dream daughter-in-law. The girl whose mom values her educational background and family is good. But in fact, his behavior is more despicable than comfort women. Graduating college is not because of hard work itself, but because it pays people to do their assignments and scripts. And again, do you think anyone would accept me for who I am without bringing up my past. I really want to build a happy home with me. Not to marry me for my wealth. Can he accept, if at any time someone comes to him and says he has been a friend sharing sweat with me in bed?"hendrik asked looking at Naima's face with a serious look.
Naima sighed many times while kneading her own temple after hearing what Hendrik said. In fact, not all women who have a good educational and family background are good. And not all women who come from families with low educational backgrounds with lower middle-to-lower social status are that good. Because the nature and personality of a person can not be determined by his family background and education.
And true said his son. What if Hendrik's wife later can not accept Hendrik's past? Or want to marry Hendrik just because of the wealth of Hendrik alone. But having an ex-night butterfly's son-in-law is also not what she wants.
"Try to think about your decision again, Hen! We are a beautiful family. What's our reputation if people find out that you're married to a former night butterfly?"
"If you are ashamed and afraid that your family's reputation will be ruined because you married a former butterfly that night, then after you get married, you will bring your family to live abroad. Where no one likes to gossip and does not like to take care of the personal lives of others," said Hendrik who remained firm in his stance.
Naima again sighed hearing her son who remained firm on his stance. For a moment Naima thought, what should she do to change her son's stance.
"You stay strong on your stand. You love her not just Puppy love, are you?"ask Naima who still does not believe if Hendrik really fell in love with a woman.
"Haiss.I'm a grown man, ma. Not ABG. How could I possibly have puppy love?"
"Yes.who knows? Wouldn't it be normal if you only liked a girl for a little while? After that you get bored and leave him, "that's what Naima is, Hendrik has been all along. It is easy to get bored with one woman and always change partners.
"It's different, ma. I really love him,"
"Is this woman the woman who rejected and slapped you back then?"
"Yes,"sahut Hendrik was brief.
"You want to marry her because you want revenge?"
"I really love him, ma. There was absolutely no intention of my revenge,"
"Then you want to meet the woman you want to marry,"
"Mama didn't intend to intimidate him, did she?"asked Hendrik suspiciously.
"Miti from the beginning had already rejected me. If mama intimidates him, Miti will have a good reason not to marry me" Hendrik muttered in his heart.
Hendrik still clearly remembered how his mother tried to get rid of Aurora. Because her mother disagreed that Aurora would be Rayyan's life partner. Hendrik is afraid that his mother will intimidate Sumi, so that Sumi does not want to marry him.
"Why? You scared?"naima asked as she squinted one of her eyes.
"okkey. Mama can meet with Miti, "sahut Hendrik who hopes his decision this time is not wrong. After all, sooner or later her mother will meet Sumi as well.
"Where can you meet him?"
"Mama can meet Miti at the restaurant at xx,"

Naima got out of her car staring at a restaurant in front of her that was big in the city.
"The woman Hendrik likes works here? I'm very curious. How does the woman who can make Hendrik can be crazy and until he has the motivation to change it," muttered Naima, then entered the restaurant and approached the cashier table.
"Sorry! Can I meet the owner of this restaurant?"ask Naima politely.
"Sorry! What's the need, huh?"ask the cashier.
"I want to ask permission to talk to one of his employees" said Naima who did not know if Sumi was the owner of the restaurant.
"Please wait a minute!"said the cashier, then asked his friend to report to Sumi.
"What's wrong?"ask Sumi to the employees who approached Sumi in the kitchen of her restaurant.
"There's a middle-aged woman who wants to ask you for permission to talk to one of your employees, miss," said Sumi's employee.
"Ohh. Take that woman to my room,"
"Well, miss,"that Sumi employee rushed to meet Naima. While Sumi went straight out of the restaurant kitchen and into her work room.
"Tokay! Geck! Geck!"
"Lake in!"sumi said from the inside.
"Czech "
"You?"
