“Come Niko, eat now hunt sopnya cold.”
Niko immediately sat on the dining chair and ate the dishes that were in front of her. While Tanti's mother sat in front of Niko while watching her son eat.
“Mother why not eat?” tanya Niko saw her mother just silently watching her.
“Mom ate earlier Niko. Waiting for your long time home so mom ate first.”
“Start tomorrow Mother don't wait for Niko. If you are hungry eat first.”
“What are you going home tomorrow night again?”
“Ya don't know yet, Mom. Lately Niko is busy with office work.”
“Oh yes Niko, earlier Pakde Budi came here.” Pakde Budi is Ririn's father who is Tanti's older brother.
“Ngapain Ma'am, wasn't yesterday new from here.”
“Iya, Pakde you were alone here. He wants to make sure your relationship problems are Niko.”
Niko who was chewing food immediately choked on hearing her mother's words. Ms. Tanti directly gave water.
“You drink first,” said bu Tanti gave water.
Niko immediately gulped down the water while thinking about her mother's words just now.
“Then I answer what?” ask Niko curiously.
“Yes I replied that I cannot make a decision because the decision is in your hands. Pakde you want your wedding to be held next month Niko.”
Niko was immediately surprised to hear her mother's explanation.
“Didn't Niko have not given the decision, why Pakde has decided next month,” said Niko protest.
“Niko, try to think again. When do you want to be like this yourself. This is all for the good of you and Ririn. You should never expect Widya again. You do not feel sorry for your Pakde who has often been sickly. Although the stroke has healed but has not been fully healed so Pakde wants Ririn to marry you soon. Pakde will feel calm if Ririn is married to you because you are not someone else,” explained Mrs Tanti.
“But Ma'am, Niko has not given the decision to want or not to marry Ririn.”
“Do you not want to marry Ririn, Niko?”
“And Niko told Mom that Niko can't think right now.”
“Why Niko, is it because you're thinking about Widya. Have you never thought about Mom's feelings, Niko. Mother's only desire is Niko that you want to marry Ririn. I will not demand anything from you. All I ask is that you marry Ririn. That's only mother's hope and also Pakde's hope you.”

Disappointed, Niko entered her room. He then laid himself on the bed. His mind was in a mess thinking about his mother's words just now.
Though this afternoon he had met with Shinta and talked about the problem of Widya's closeness with Andre. From the results of their talks, they will try to prevent Widya's relationship with Andre. Shinta will reclaim her husband's heart and Niko will reconcile with Widya. But hearing her mother's explanation that strongly urges Niko to want to marry Ririn, Niko gets more confused. In her little heart did not want to marry Ririn but seeing her mother's willpower, it seemed that Niko was not up to the heart if she refused the request of her mother and father so it made Niko feel dizzy thinking about all this.
‘Yes Allah, help me in solving this problem. Give the best way out for me,’ Niko said in her prayer.
Then Niko closed her eyes and tried to sleep but her mind was still glaring somewhere. After long enough to think Niko finally fell asleep too even though it was already before one in the morning.

When he woke up from his sleep Widya felt his stomach was not good. He was like a cold but Widya still forced herself to work. Finally, even though it was too late, Widya went to work. Arriving at his workplace Rika immediately asked.
“Iya Rika, since then the stomach is not good,” explained Widya.
“Why Mbak, what Mbak in the wind or something wrong eat.”
“Entahlah mbak also do not know. Maybe mbak catch a cold because last night when returning home from work mbak raining.”
“So Mbak was already taking medicine?”
“Udah Rica. Last time when leaving for work mbak take medicine first but until now the stomach mbak not good too,” explained Widya to Rika.
“Ya already Mbak, if Mbak is not healthy anymore mbak go home only so I will handle everything,” said Rika understandingly.
“Sorry Rika, mbak so not good with you.”
“Ngakt good how the hell Mbak his name also hurts.”
Ten o'clock Widya could not stand it anymore so she excused Rika to go home.
“Mbak try to take this medicine manor cured?” rika said while giving Antangin medicine.
“But it was mbak already taking medicine.”
“Mbak is okay to drink this because this will include herbal medicine,” explained Rika.
“Thank you Rika for understanding,” said Widya and went straight home.

Arriving at Widya's house immediately rest in her room. Widya also fell asleep very well maybe the effect of the drug she just took. Almost two o'clock in the afternoon Widya just woke up. As soon as he woke up from his sleep Widya's body felt better, the wind was gone.
Then Widya got up in her sleep because she felt her body was starting to feel good. Suddenly his phone rang and he grabbed it. At the sight, there was a message wa coming in from Andre.
{Widya, tomorrow morning you have to go to Jakarta. I'll wait for you at the airport.}
Widya was immediately surprised to read the short message. He called Andre.
[“Andre, are you crazy to tell me to come to Jakarta.”]
[“I have gone crazy Widya. It's all because of you.”]
[“Andre, anyway I do not want to go to Jakarta to see you.”] replied Widya briefly.
[“Why don't you want to see me?”]
[“I don't want to be a thorn in your household.”]
[“Widya, I would have told you that my household can no longer be saved. It's not all because of you but there are things I can't possibly tell you.”]
[“But Ndre, I don't want to ruin your household.”]
[“You didn't ruin my household. Before I met you the household I was already untenable Widya. So you do not fear this.”] explained Andre trying to convince Widya.
Widya was just speechless thinking about Andre's words just now. Actually Widya still loves Andre very much but she is afraid to marry Andre because of Andre's status who is still married. Surely his wife Andre will be furious at Widya and assume Widya has damaged her household. Widya is getting confused about this problem.
