The Gambling Bet
quarrel mama Vera and oma Jayanti.

       The Dharmawangsa residence.

         Mama Vera, who was still in her room, looked at her cell phone. His eyes were swollen due to the melting of tears that continued to flow soaking his two eyeballs.

          "You're so handsome Arjuna, you're exactly like your papa." Mama Vera said looking at the photo on her phone. 

          Since the quarrel of Mama Vera and Adrian, Adrian never again returned to the residence Dharmawangsa. When Adrian held his wedding reception with Alya, Adrian forbade oma and her mother to come to the event.

         Now Mama Vera feels something is missing in her life. Adrian's only son never came to see him again and no longer called him. Mama Vera is still staring fixed photos in her phone that she got from Bayu.

         Long mama Vera froze in her room, faintly she heard from the outside of the room people were talking. Mama Vera got up from her seat and walked out of her room. His eyes rotated to a family room, sitting ora Jayanti was talking to someone. 

             "Clara " 

         Both of Mama Vera's eyeballs were perfectly rounded, after she saw the oma Jayanti and Clara talking and joking. Clara was Adrian's girlfriend. She left Adrian on the day of her engagement. After five years passed now he came again and talked with oma Jayanti.

        "You.?" What are you doing here.?"  Mama Vera ketus.

         Realizing that Vera's mother was standing not far from them, Clara got up from her seat and approached Vera's mother who was looking at her sharply.

        "Hi.., aunty what's up, here's Clara bring souvenirs for aunty." Said Clara as her hand handed over some paper bag branded goods.

       Mama Vera's eyes glanced at Clara .

       "I'm sorry I don't need it - by you, the item you gave me was, I can buy it myself." Mama Vera.

      "Aunty Clara's coming here, want to apologize, this is a gift for aunt, Clara sincere aunt." Clara.

         Ciih..

        Highlight the eyes of mama Vera staring intently at Clara who was standing before her, she scanned Clara's body from top to bottom , nothing changed from Clara, nothing changed from Clara, it still looks the same from before.

       "Would you come again.?" Ask Mama Vera expressionlessly.

        Oma Jayanti got up from her seat and walked over to those who were talking.

        "Vera, Clara came to apologize to us, she told us all, she's innocent." Oma Jayanti.

        " What.?" Apologize .?" Make what.?" Mama Vera.

        "I know Clara made a mistake, what's wrong with us forgiving her." Oma Jayanti.

       Mama Vera's eyes instantly condensed. He imagined five years ago, where Adrian was completely heartbroken after leaving Clara on the day of her engagement. Adrian had experienced severe depression until, to close himself to all women.

            "Oma agrees if Adrian comes back with Clara, what do you think Vera.?" Ask abouta Jayanti.

            "What do oma mean.?" Mama Vera answered, looking towards Ima Jayanti.

            "Yes, Clara was Adrian's first love, let them unite."

            " What.?" 

       Both of Vera's mama's eyes widened, she did not expect that her in-laws would accept Clara so easily.

           "Oma, Ima is not wrong to accept this woman into our house.?" Ask mom Vera.

       Mama Vera looked at the oma Jayanti who was standing next to Clara, she stared fixedly at the two women in front of her.

        "No, I'll support Clara back on Adrian." Jayanti's oma said lightly.

         "I'm her mother, I wouldn't have her daughter-in-law, she'd hurt Adrian, and I'd never support her." Mama Vera said with her voice.

       "I'm the oma, I'm more entitled to determine Adrian's happiness, than to have a prostitute daughter-in-law*r and a lowly, I'm ashamed." Oma jayanti said not to lose.

       Highlight the eyes of oma Jayanti and mama Vera collide, among them no one wants to give up , Clara who stood beside the oma was happy to have the support of the most respected person. Rhythm Breath mama Vera and oma Jayanti up and down, they both want to win their respective opinions.

            "Prophey oma, give Aunt Vera the same time to think." Clara.

            "Silence you.!" Mom Vera's voice snapped.

          Clara was instantly speechless, she hid her body behind the body of the Jayanti oma.

         "Remember .!" Yes Clara, until whenever I won't let you near Adrian, it's enough that you leave Adrian, he's married and has a child now his life is happy." Mama Vera said staring at Clara who was hiding behind the body of Jayanti.

        "Vera, oma will never recognize Alya as the daughter-in-law of this house, Clara is better than everything in her appeal, Clara is beautiful, educated and far more honorable than Alya." Reply to oma Jayanti in a sarcastic tone.

        "Well, let's see ifa" said Mama Vera.

       Mama Vera leaves behind the oma Jayanti and Clara who are still standing in the living room. Mama Vera threw her body on the bed, she grabbed her phone and then looked back at the photo attached to her phone. Her crying broke again, she was so sorry for what she had done to Alya in the hospital, now her longing for Arjuna was so tempestuous to meet , however, Adrian forbids anyone to see Alya and her child without Adrian's consent.

           "Send him in!" 

           "Good sir." 

          Before long Jonathan appeared and entered Adrian's room, they sat opposite.

             "What are you calling me sir.?" Ask Jonathan.

          Jonathan, who is used to being given assignments over the phone, finds it strange when Adrian asks to see him. Adrian turns off his laptop and slams his body on the couch.

           "Jo, you have a private teacher acquaintance, don't you.?" Ask Adrian.

           "Private teacher, what is it, sir.?" Jonathan frowned feeling strange to Adrian .

            Jonathan has long worked in Dharmawangsa, a task as difficult as anything he is able to accomplish , and he also finds Adrian highly educated Adrian's last degree was taken abroad, but why suddenly ask his private teacher.

            "Why not googled, sir.?" Ask back.

          "It." I want you to meet him, make sure he's very qualified." Answer Adrian.

            Adrian took a deep breath and exhaled it violently. He got up from the fall, then took out a piece of paper that had been prepared since.

         "You meet him, make sure he's of quality and only works for me, give me my cell phone number if he wants." Adrian .

        Jonathan grabbed the paper given by Adrian, he read the line of words on the paper.

           "Mrs Saqueena, she's a psychologist, yes sir.?" Ask Jonathan.

          "Hem " 

          "But what's it for.?" Ask back 

          "Geez Jo, why are you so chatty."

         Jonathan got up from his seat and left Adrian alone.Adrian now out of his room walking closer to Alya and Rima who were in the yard of the house.

          "Hi.anak papa, it's getting bigger and bigger." 

          Adrian looked at the body of Arjuna who was in Alya's arms, which now looked more and more padlocked both cheeks, Arjuna's growth was increasing rapidly, he was anxiously holding the baby's cheeks. 

         "Rima, take Arjuna in, I want to talk to the lady." Adrian.

        "Good sir." Answer Rima 

        Rima's two hands grabbed Arjuna's body in Alya's arms, then walked into the house leaving Alya and Adrian .

        "Alya, from tomorrow you will be in private school, between Jonathan ." Adrian.

        "Private school.?" Alya asked in astonishment 

        "He em." 

        "Okay, that's.ee dear." Answer Alya kaku .

        Adrian reviewed the smile of hearing Alya's still stiff answer. Little heart happy because although it looks awkward Alya can say it. In contrast to Alya tinge of her face blushing in shame, her heart pounding incoherently if she was on Adrian's side.

           "Let's take a shower.?" Adrian.

           "What.?" Alya's eyes were rounded.

           "Hey, don't parno, it means we're bathing in a different place." Adrian answered with a big smile.
