"I don't deserve to be a mother! I am a failed mother! Me, me ... "
Raisa's words stopped because Roni immediately hugged her who sat down while hugging her knees.
"No, Mba is not a failed mother, Mba is a mother who managed to instill a sense of love and to the children of Mba. Kia did that not because she was a bad boy, but because she was protecting her sister and did not want her sister to continue to be ridiculed at school by her friends. Just like Mba who always protected me, when my mother was angry and about to hit me. Do not blame yourself Mba for this incident Mba. I beg you."
"Hiks .. hiks ... How could I not have thought of myself for this incident, Ron? I'm guilty, I'm guilty of wrongly educating them. Have I been spoiling them all this time?"
"No Mba, No. Mba always educate them to know the meaning of responsibility. What always spoils them is not Mba but me. So don't blame yourself Mba."
Raisa can't stop crying, she still feels like she failed to educate her children. Until in the end he was tired too and ended up falling asleep in a sitting condition.
Roni immediately moved her brother onto the bed and covered her brother's body.
"Because of the bad past, Mba Raisa always like this. I want Mba's trauma to disappear and be happy with the twins. Good night Mba."
Roni walked out of Raisa's room. She felt guilty that she could do nothing to help her brother in the past.
"If I had been older, it probably wouldn't have been this way."

The next day, Raisa is the one who takes the twins to school to apologize to the boy who has been pushed to fall by Kia.
The time was right, because the boy was with his mother. Raisa asks Kia to apologize sincerely. But what he expected, will be reconciled, even the opposite. The mother of the boy just went berserk.
"Please order your child naughty and don't know how to apologize. It turns out that he doesn't have a father. They don't know how to be responsible. You too, as his mother, can not educate your child properly. Lookie! My son's knees are bleeding, all because of your son! My son said, your son disturbed my son first."
"No Mi, she's the one who bullies Mia first! Not us!" said Kia who denied the mother's words from the boy.
"lik! You're the one who bothers me first!" the boy who is not to blame.
"Have heard it yourself, right? Your son is the one who bullied my son first!"
Mia and Kia shook their heads again, wanting her mother to believe in the two of them.
Until then, Raisa suddenly laughed to herself like an insane person.
"Maybe my son has made a mistake because he has made the mother's child hurt. But he admitted it honestly in front of me. But mother's son? He's not even honest, if he's insulting my son. Even his mother insulted him. What, a mother would insult a child even if the child is the child of another? What if the insulted one is the mother's own child? Don't ask me how I educate my child. But ask yourself mother. How do you educate your child until he lies to his own mother. You know, I wouldn't ask my son to apologize to someone like you. People who do not know what it feels like to be humbled. The one who only mocks and brags with his words."
The atmosphere of the school is getting crowded, because there are already many students coming to school.
"I saw him yesterday, the boy was indeed mocking and making Mia cry. Not even just Mia, I was also ridiculed for having a stepmom," said Cana defended Kia.
Then plus, the other students, who follow open their voices.
"Look, we can tell for ourselves, who started it first. Aren't you ashamed?"
The mother stared intently at her son. Without mercy he even hit his son's ass until grimacing in pain. Raisa who saw that so grimaced, because she knew how painful it was to be hit like that.
"Not the wrong mother's child, wrong mother's upbringing. Don't treat him harshly, ma'am."
"Who dare you advise me! Move You!"
The mother pulled her son by force. Raisa continued to observe the departure of the mother and child until she was not seen in her eyes.
Raisa aligns her height with the twins. He stroked the tops of his two sons' heads.
"I'm sorry, my dear. Last night Mami had silenced you. Mami is proud that you guys have been able to take care of each other. But the promise is yes Mami, if events like this happen again, do not use violence, promise?"
Raisa shows both her little fingers and is instantly accepted by the twins.
"Student learning baby, Mami work first."
"Yes Mi, her work spirit is Mi!"
Raisa nodded then waved her hand at the twins.

Wedding preparations are almost finished, ranging from the building, decorations, souvenirs, only a few are left. But somehow getting closer to the show, Tamara's feelings get less and less out of her taste. Instead of being convinced, he became increasingly doubtful of the love Edgar had for him.
Maybe what Edgar said there is a point if taken care of both of his wedding will be a lot of bickering later. But being taken care of alone, it felt like she herself was enthusiastic about the marriage that would last another 1 month 3 Weeks.
"Why you, baby? What are you thinking?" ask Astrid.
"No papa, ma. I just can't wait for the wedding."
Astrid smiled hearing that.
"Most certainly, anyway later Mami will invite you care so that you look perfect on the first night."
Hearing that made Tamara's cheeks turn red.

When Raisa was relaxing outside the restaurant, there was Edgar who had just got out of his car and was about to walk towards the restaurant.
Raisa's eyes can only look at her because she's so surprised. His body seemed to be unable to move to dodge anymore. The two eventually met after a long time apart.
"Hi Ca, how are you?" Edgar greeted Raisa with a smile.
The smile that Raisa always misses every day. But why does it seem like he still misses it until now? What don't-don't ...
"Well, well done," Raisa replied as if she was just acting normal.
"Call me Raisa."
"Why? I always called your name with Ca. Is there something wrong with that?"
"No, but now just call me Raisa not Ca!"
"Em, okay Raisa."
"Good."
Raisa leaves Edgar without another word. He did not even ask Edgar the slightest news even though he was honestly a little curious, even though he knew, Edgar must also be good, especially if he was going to get married soon.
But one question that was asked before she left made Raisa stunned.
"Are you happy?"
