" Mom who just called ? " asked Bimo as his wife walked back to him after just receiving a call, "from mother Wilna. He said later tonight they would come here again " explains Mala. With a slight sigh, "What's wrong ?. Why does mom feel so good "he exclaimed so weak.

" They just came to visit Mom. Don't think anything. Isn't it about Elin's status that they've accepted it ? " asked Bimo and mala nodded slowly.

" But mother's feelings remain unpleasant. Mother Wilna's tone sounded serious. Not like he usually is ", Wilna said.

" Calm down, ma'am. It's not good to think that it's not, not before our daughter's wedding day" Bimo said. Then Mala nodded weakly, "maybe there is nothing. It's purely just the feeling of the mother "suffering and alternating now Bimo is nodding.

" Has Elin gone home ? " sanyanya.

" It's. Maybe he's sleeping now "

And I explained one by one the people who were in the photo. But sir, why at that time he seemed surprised when he saw a small photo of Elin. And after that he no longer said much " said Mala explaining what was on his mind.

" Maybe it's just mom's mind. Mom ".

" But when yesterday came here. He was also a lot silent sir and only talked a lot after mom said about Elin ".

" Mommy, I told you not to think shit".

" Mom was just curious. And confused why he suddenly like that ".

Bimo was silent for a moment, he did not realize that he also thought about what his wife had just said, "Dad believes, nothing happens and it is purely just the mind of the mother ".

Viona is on the doorstep of her son's bedroom. Right now with the strength left of his body he ventured to speak to his first son.

" This boy Mami "he cried from behind the door.

For a moment there was no answer there, "Boy Mami wants to talk.

" Mommy came in" she said again. While slowly opening the door of the room that was not locked by the owner of the room.

Viona was silent for a moment. When he saw his son, he was lying with his arms stretched across his face. And that means Daniel didn't really fall asleep.

Slowly he stepped so carefully. Then take a seat on the side of the bed, "Kiddo, "call him slowly.

" Mommy knows you must be disappointed with the situation "he continued so softly. As well as the tears that returned to drip, "Mommy will do whatever else as long as Elin forgives Mami's mistakes "shutter in her tears. Daniel is still not moving .

" Later tonight. Mommy's coming to Elin's house. Mami will apologize and explain everything ".

Hearing that Daniel slowly removed his arm from his closed eyes, "And after that everything will end mam "his reply arrived with a tone so desperate.

Viona was silent for a moment. By looking at his son. He doesn't know what else to say at this point, "Mommy will do anything to keep it from happening. Pardon Mami. "he said with great regret. Then she left her seat and left Daniel, who had now opened his eyes. Sighing so deeply.

" You startled Mami Meili "said Viona flinched and quickly changed the look on her agitated face, "What's wrong ? " tanyanya later.

" Mam.., tonight I want to go too. I have to convince Elin "to ask Viona. He was stunned for a moment, "who told you ? "

" Nothing. I guessed it myself. Mother Wilna just said that there are events in the past that have just been revealed. And why I guessed about the accident ".

" Don't interfere with Meili. Let this be Mommy's business ".

" No mam. Mama doesn't have to endure it herself. It's a big deal in our family. At least Meili could try to convince Elin. That what happened was not an intentional "he said forcefully.

Viona sighed again, "Alright "he said briefly.

Meili immediately hugged her body tightly, "Don't blame yourself Mam. It's really just a coincidence. I'm sure everything's gonna be okay. Elin will forgive us "said her daughter.

Viona sighed, "The one Mami was afraid of was not Elin who could not forgive. But Mami's afraid she's disappointed, son. People will be more fearful when they have been disappointed and all will not return to the way they were "rejected.

Repeatedly Elin called the number of her future husband. However, that survivor also had no answer from his call.

He was quite upset because of the behavior of Daniel who suddenly remained silent during the trip back to Jakarta. The man no longer spoke much, even to the point of lowering him in his house Daniel just kept quiet and said a short sentence.

And it's already night. Daniel has not contacted her. Even his own phone was ignored, "Him why the hell ? " it's so agitated.

And at the same time, the door to his room came on tap, "Who ? " squeaked.

Elin's heart was beating more and more erratically. And began to worry about what was really going on and what they wanted to talk to her about. Which scared him even more. Daniel hasn't told her anything yet. So did Meili who did not give any news first for his arrival.

" Mom just come down first. Elin will follow soon "he told Mala. And the beak woman nodded, "don't take too long son. They were waiting for you "cried Mala At the end of the door and Elin nodded.

Mala just closed the door to her room. He quickly returned to struggling with his flat object and searched for Green's phone number there, "Green must know "his murmur and can't wait to contact the woman immediately.

The phone on Green is connected. And again there is no answer. For the second time he contacted the woman. But again, there is no answer.

Elin grew increasingly agitated from her place, "what is this. Why is everyone such a silent to me "he said he did not understand, as well as the feeling of increasingly anxious
