The Gambling Bet
visit of mama Vera.

      Mama Vera froze on the doorstep of Adrian's apartment, knocking several times on the door and ringing the doorbell, but there was no sign of the door opening.

        Mama Vera grabbed the phone in her bag, then swiped up and down her phone a few times and made a call.

      "Bay, is Adrian at his house.?" Mama Vera said when the call was connected.

     Bayu who was across the phone was silent for a moment was thinking about the right answer to his tant.

       "Aunty, why.?" Answer Bayu.

        "How many times has my aunt knocked on the door and rang the bell, but there was absolutely no response from within.?" Mama Vera.

        "Where is aunt now.?" Ask Bayu.

       "Yes, in Adrian's apartment is Bay, aunty wants to meet Alya and aunty's grandson." Say again.

      Bayu scratched his head that is not itchy, like a simalakama fruit if it has faced aunty Vera and Adrian. On the one hand Adrian strictly forbids anyone to meet Alya and Arjuna without Adrian's consent.

         "Why are you quiet Bay.?" 

         "Where is tan, confused wood." Answer Bayu restlessly 

         "Bay, does Adrian forbid aunty to meet aunty's own granddaughter.?" Tell Bay, where their aunt wants to apologize to Alya, the aunt promises she won't hurt Alya." Aunt Vera said in her sobs .

         Bayu, who is now in a dilemma, finally tells where Alya is, Bayu says that Adrian has bought a house, since the arrival of the oma made trouble. 

       After getting the address of Adrian's new home, Mama Vera rushes out of Adrian's apartment. Mama Vera gave the driver an address to take him to the address. 

       Along the way Mama Vera just silent, several times mama Vera wiped her tears that fell melted down her cheeks. His longing for Adrian can not be denied, what else mama Vera after knowing Arjuna ninety-nine percent identical to Adrian.

         The car entered the elite area, spread out wide courtyard of houses and buildings that luxurious atmosphere and shade make anyone feel at home in that place.

         Mama Vera got out of her car, she walked into the courtyard of the house, arrived at the main door she knocked on the door of the house.

           The door opened, and Dona stood behind it, scanning the woman standing in front of her .

          "I'm sorry to interrupt, may I meet your mistress Alya.?" Mama Vera said gracefully.

        Dona frowned in thought.

           "I'm her mother-in-law." Mama Vera said back.

            "Sorry madam, lord Adrian forbid me not to allow anyone to meet mistress Alya without the consent of Mr Adrian, have you got permission from Mr. Adrian.?" Dona said firmly.

       Mama Vera took a deep breath, to unravel the tightness in her chest, so possessive was Adrian with her family, that it was difficult to break through her defensive fortifications.

       "I'm Adrian's mother, just call Alya here, I'll wait in front of this door, if not allowed in." Mama Vera said.

        "Okay lady, please wait here, I'll call Ms. Alya." Dona.

       Dona passes away going into the house, Vera's mother now realizes so much meaning to Alya in Adrian's life, that she makes a fortification between herself and her own family.

          Tok.dok..

          "Mrs, there's someone who wants to meet you." Dona said behind the door.

         Alya who was getting ready to go make up for herself for a moment stopped her activity, she frowned. Alya walked open the door of her room.

         "Who is mbak ?" Ask Alya.

         "A woman, confess your in-laws." Dona.

          Without thinking anymore out of curiosity Alya walked forward towards the living room.Alya was surprised to find the woman was really her mother Adrian , the last time she met was in the hospital while Alya was in the hospital. Alya's body immediately trembled, because remember how cruel his mother Adrian was at that time, the spicy words that he had thrown were now back ringing in Alya's ears.

        "Alya, I'm sorry if my mom's coming bothers you." 

         "Mama came here to see my granddaughter, is it okay.?" Mama Vera said as she rubbed her cheeks that looked wet.

         Silent. Alya was silent unexpected things, Alya was thinking, Adrian had been waiting for him not to meet his family, without Adrian's approval.

         "Please Alya, mama came here to apologize to you, mama regretted having hurt you, at least give mama a chance to fix all , ''em , and please don't tell Adrian if mama comes here to see you." Mama Vera said in her sobs and her hands folded.

          Alya was finally devastated, not expecting now the woman before him came to him to apologize sincerely.

       "Let's go in, madam." Alya said, let her enter Vera's mother who was standing in front of the door.

         "Alya, don't call like that, don't you want to call me mama." Mama Vera's 

        "Yes ma." Answer Alya stiffly

        "Sir Dona, please call Rima here, all of you Arjuna." 

        "Ee..mama what do you want to drink .?" Alya asked.

        "Don't bother, mama's here to see Arjuna that's it." Answer mama Vera 

        Rima appears with Arjuna in her carriage, Mama Vera immediately rises from her seat, impatiently mama Vera approaches Rima who walks towards Alya and mama Vera.

        "Cabin, oma wants to be fat." Mama Vera stretched out her hands.

         "God, you are handsome dear." Mama Vera said in awe.

        Mama Vera kissed the cheek of the kingpin Arjuna , Arjuna who was sound asleep felt uncomfortable because his sleep time was disturbed. For a moment Mama Vera looked at Arjuna's face.

       "You know Alya, Arjuna's photo copy of Adrian is still a child." Mama Vera looked at Arjuna's face.

        Alya just smiled in response to Vera's mother, as they were talking appeared from the front of Jonathan who was walking towards them.

         Highlight Jonathan's sharp eyes stared at Vera's mama, noticing Jonathan staring fixedly at her as Vera approached Jonathan.

         "Jo, please don't say anything to Adrian, I beg you, because I want to improve my relationship with Alya, I know you don't want my presence." Mama Vera .

        The look on Jonathan's face, which was originally spooky, now changed as usual, Jonathan's heart was immediately shattered to see the look on the face of Mama Vera who begged him.

        "Om Jo, cancel my meeting with mrs Saqueena, say I have business." Alya.

         "Good mistress." Reply Jonathan turned his back on leaving behind mom Vera and Alya.

          "Mrs Saqueena.?" Who is Alya.?" Ask Mama Vera with her eyebrows interlocked.

           "Ee.that's ma, Alya's private tutor." 

          Alya told her private school activities from learning to eat and walk gracefully like a classy woman, because all of it was her idea Adrian , with Alya's reason to be more confident. Alya who has forgiven Mama Vera familiarizes herself with her mother-in-law, she wants to forget the painful events for the sake of Arjuna's future, she does not want to hold a grudge to anyone so that Arjuna , who is , you can get complete love.

          "Times in private schools are taught tricks let the husband feel at home and must groom and that is **** ." Alya plain.

           "What.?" 

          Mama Vera immediately clenched her lips tightly, eager to blow her laughter hearing Alya's plain words.

        "Kok so.?" Why does it have to be like that.?" 

         "I don't know ma." Alya shook her head.

         Long they talk like children and mothers, Alya's awkwardness now disappears instantly because the sincerity of Mama Vera really accepts Alya's presence. The warmth was evident as they joked.

          "Mama may be tired of her Arjun, let's sleep aja ma." Alya.

        Mama Vera followed Alya's steps into her room, then lay Arjuna softly in her bed box, Mama Vera's eyes rotated looking at Alya's neatly arranged room,.

          "Alya you're patient, Adrian is grumpy, but he's really loving." Mama Vera.

         "You must be disturbed yes, Adrian if you sleep like snoring." 

          Alya shook her head slowly.

         "Gak ma, Adrian's mas sleeps in his own room." Alya said while pointing at Adrian's room.

         "You don't have one room.?" Ask mom Vera.

          There is no advice, Alya just nodded his head.Today mama Vera understands why Adrian gave private classes to Alya, as an experienced woman, Mama Vera understands that the relationship between Adrian and his daughter-in-law is not okay.
