"Ahhh that's Pa, man. She's Tiffany's boyfriend's sister." Answer Geffie.
"Tiffany's sister's boyfriend??? A boy or a girl???" Ask Ariel.
"Woman, we knew him when he was with his girlfriend Tiffany."
"From Indonesia???? Tiffany's boyfriend from Indonesia???"
"Yes from Indonesia Pa, she congratulated me for my graduation and she told me that her grandmother had passed away. That's why he's late for congratulation." Geffie closed his eyes and asked God for forgiveness because he lied to his father. Geffie was afraid if she told the truth that it was her lover. Geffie is afraid her Papa will find out and that could put her relationship with Garviil in a bit of trouble. Geffie is actually still not ready to tell the truth and he is actually also afraid that Garviil met his Papa at his graduation today.
"You why the hell, baby??? What if Geffie had a boy friend??? we become parents do not be too protective of our children. Because children can already make their own choices, so long as it does not harm them and it does not exceed the limit and normal. You're always acting like a detective, anything has to be asked in detail when that detail isn't all that important to ask." Maysa Sahut.
"I'm just asking. What's wrong with my question???" Ariel protested against his wife.
"Yes your question is not wrong, the wrong way is the way you ask. You're like interrogating Geffie. Let him be friends with anyone, whether male or female friends the most important thing is that he still upholds the rules and norms that exist in our family."
"You always have to.." Ariel grumbled, but he hated long arguments with his wife because their debates would always end with him succumbing and not daring to argue with his wife.
Friddie slightly glanced at Ariel and smiled. He never dared to refute his wife and their debate will always end with Ariel who chooses to be silent or sometimes leave to avoid longer debates and that is very often the case. Freddie had heard stories from his parents that Ariel used to be very stubborn and stubborn it sometimes still seems from Ariel, but not when together with Maysa. Ariel always acts relented when dealing with his wife but if with others, the nature of hard, stiff and also very cold especially against people who were first met by Ariel.
*******
They reached Geffie's apartment. Ariel goes in and goes straight to the bathroom to clean herself up while Freddie is not busy calling on the balcony of the apartment. Maysa sat on the sofa while Geffie took off her shoes and then sat down with her Mama.
"Geffie baby, Mama knows you lied about the friend who called you earlier when we traveled here, she's not a girl friend, right??? Because of the faint-heartedness Mama heard the voice of the man who called you." asked Maysa to her daughter who was sitting next to her.
"Mom know he's a boy????" Geffie.
"Ma's friend only."
"Ordinary or Special friend, or.....???" Tanya Maysa.
"Or martabak." Geffie chuckled and laughed.
"Martabak??? Meaning what???" maysa was confused.
"So mama said ordinary or special, the usual for martabak's special." Geffie replied with a chuckle.
"Hahaha you're all there, baby. Mama asked seriously and you answered her jokingly, is she your lover???"
Geffie just throws a smile and does not answer his mother's question but Maysa understands that it seems like the man who contacted Geffie was indeed the lover of his daughter.
"Usually if someone is asked and he is silent the answer is yes. Mama is right??? Ah but it's okay if you don't want to answer it, Mama just wants to tell you that Mama will never blame you for connecting with anyone, she said, the important thing is to stay in a normal relationship and not cross the line. You must remember what Mama once told you that good women are those who keep their honor until they get married and it is only given to her husband. Mama always hopes that your children can take care of themselves from bad things and not like the mistakes you once did, which you regret until now. You can't take care of yourself and fall into the negative. Because Mama used to Love someone so much that Mama forgot that Mama had to take care of herself and not even damage Mama herself." Maysa grabbed Geffie's fingers.
"Geffie baby, you can't do what you used to do. Mama always pray that the daughters of Mama become women who always keep their honor well and they also meet good men who can love and love them and take care of them. Your sister Gienka can also take very good care of herself until she gets married. I hope you are like that too, remember one thing, good men are those who don't impose their will just to satisfy their ego but good men are those who love selflessly sincerely and respect their women, you understand what Mama means right???"
Geffie smile. "Yes Ma and I always remember well the advice Mama gave me."
"Mama believes in you very much. You're a smart Mama's daughter." Maysa hugged Geffie and kissed her daughter's head gently. Maysa strongly believes that Geffie can take good care of herself and obey her every word and Ariel's speech. Maysa knows that she made a big mistake in her youth and as a mother she certainly doesn't want her daughter to do the same as she did back then, that's why Maysa always regretted what used to happen if the time was cut off can be played of course Maysa will not make that mistake .he used to love the wrong person and love you too much making him blind and unable to take good care of himself so he was just taken advantage of.
But Maysa is grateful that she met Ariel. A stubborn, rigid and cold man who is willing to accept it with all the shortcomings he has, even so after marriage Ariel becomes a very better person than before. Ariel is responsible and loves her very much. Ariel also has a dark past and if remembered it is very annoying and makes people around her become upset because of her behavior but humans can change very much over time and Ariel who becomes a much better person than before. Ariel became a wonderful father to her children and always wanted the best for them.
