Genta returned to the Hospital. Genta sat beside Muaurine. The clapper spread its head over Maurine's shoulder.
"I'll talk about this once you're completely healed. During that time, I won't let you meet anyone but me" Inner Genta.
Genta kept thinking about Bobby's words. Genta thought hard digesting every word Bobby said.
"So confident. What does he have to shake me? did Rey say anything about me? I don't think so," Inner Genta again.
Genta felt there was something behind his meeting with Bobby. The curiosity does not go away, it just increases.

The next day....
Maurine is enjoying his free time. Genta was going out because he wanted to buy something. Maurine sat leaning back to watch the television show.
Toks.....
Tock....
Tock....
The door of the room was knocked open, not long open. From far away Maurine stared at the door, wanting to know who the person in the room was.
Maurine's eyes widened, when he saw someone familiar entering his room. That person, none other than Liana, Maurine's biological mother.
Liana entered and closed the door, she walked slowly closer to Maurine who was far away from her. Her footsteps drew closer, until Liana stopped her steps right by Maurine's side.
"Ma-ma," said Maurine.
"Yes, this is Mama. Mama came to see how you are, Mama misses you so much."
"Mama," call Maurine in tears.
Liana immediately embraced Maurine and calmed Maurine's heart. Liana gently stroked Maurine's back head and back.
"Mama's very homesick, Maurine."
"Mama..," call Maurine again in a hoarse voice.
A few moments later, the hug came off. They both look at each other. Liana stroked Maurine's face so gently, Liana's tears were unstoppable anymore.
"What's going on? why is it like this?" ask Liana.
"Maurine is fine. No need to worry," Maurine replied with a beautiful smile.
Liana wiped her own tears, "Mama was so scared when she heard you were in the hospital. Mama didn't have the wisdom to come, until..," Liana's words came to a halt.
"Until?" reset Maurine.
"Until your husband calls Mama in person" Liana replied.
"The talent?" maurine.
"Yes, Genta. You didn't even tell Mama you were married."
"It was just a simple wedding, Ma. We didn't even do the wedding reception for some reason" Maurine explained.
"Mama understands. Your husband told Mama everything. Forgive me dear Mama, Mama is a bad Mama."
"No, Ma. Don't be like that" Maurine said.
Liana shook her head, "Mama was so selfish leaving you with Bobby. Mama didn't expect Bobby to be like that to you" said Liana, sad and disappointed.
"It's not Mama's fault, don't cry, Ma."
"How not to cry? you got sold to the club for money. Does he have to be like that?" answer Liana.
"Mama, did Mama meet Genta? did he say anything?" maurine asked a little worriedly.
"Of course I met, Genta and Mama had coffee together downstairs. He told Mama everything, Mama had thought if Genta was a cold man and might like to curb. Mama's first impression of him was like that, when she received Mama's call at the time. He spoke in a cold voice, making Mama freeze instantly."
"So yeah, Maurine doesn't need to explain anymore if it's like that. Maurine believes in Genta, Ma. Because Maurine loves him."
"You happy?" ask Liana.
Maurine nodded, "It was difficult when Genta hid something from me, Ma. But, I understand it now. He did it for his family, for his family. Who can stand it and do not want to retaliate if his family is hurt. Isn't that what it is?" maurine.
"You've grown up baby" said Liana stroking Maurine's face again.
"I'm grateful to have met Genta, Ma. He is my savior. If I hadn't met him, I would still have to work in a club serving a lot of guests to pay off Papa's loan."
"Mama's happy there's someone nice to help you. Genta looks very dear to you, when talking about you earlier, his eyes are filled with love and affection for you. May you always be happy dear, Mama dear to you."
"I love Mama too" replied Maurine hugging Liana again.
Liana and Maurine were still hugging giving off the longing. Maurine is very happy to be touched, to be reunited with his mother. It's been a while since we last met.

Earlier....
Liana and Genta meet at a coffee shop not far from the Hospital. Liana walks into the coffee shop and searches for Genta, after feeling certain that someone in her car is there, Liana immediately walks over to make sure.
"The talent?" greet Liana.
"Yes, please sit down."
Liana sat in front of Genta, "What's important you want to say?" ask Liana.
"Sorry to interrupt, before I will introduce myself officially. I am Genta Aiden, the husband of Maurine Stella. Sorry at our wedding, we did not invite you or your family. Everything just happens" explained Genta.
"It doesn't matter, since you're my daughter's husband, you can call me Mama if you'd like. And please, just use a casual language."
Degs....
Genta was shocked, the beginning of his meeting with his mother-in-law made him nervous. With a smile and tenderness, Liana asked Genta to call her Mama. It certainly makes Genta shocked, Genta did not think Liana was a gentle person like Maurine.
"What's wrong? don't you want to call me, Mama?" ask Liana.
Genta awakens from his daydream, "Bu-not like that. Sorry, I was just surprised. This is the first time in a long time that I've been able to call someone else Mama."
"Customize from now on, even if only Mama-in-law. You will still look like my own child" replied Liana.
"Thank you, Mama...."
"Like death. Equally, thank you for taking care of my daughter. Now, tell me everything. How and why did Maurine come to be like this? did something happen between you two?" ask Liana curiously.
"Mama calm down first, I'll tell you everything from the beginning so that Mama understands. What's my purpose, why is this happening and how could it happen to Maurine."
"Yes, story. Mama will hear," Liana replied in a soft voice.
The genta takes a deep breath, then exhales slowly. Genta begins to tell stories about his life, until he is married to Felicia. Tells what the purpose of a fake marriage with Felicia is and what her plan is like.
Tells the beginning of his meeting with Maurine, where Mauirne wants to hear his complaints. Maurine gives advice to him, although only a few words to encourage but it is able to shake the heart of a Genta.
Genta's heart was pounding, when he heard Maurine's soft voice as well as when Genta saw Maurine's smile. More precisely, Genta is already entangled in love on the first match with Maurine. At that moment, Genta decides to marry Maurine, taking Maurine away from the club.
Alvian is ordered by Genta to meet Rey. Alvian asks Rey to open a price for Maurine. From there all the secrets are revealed, Genta and Rey finally speak four eyes about Maurine. Rey told me if Bobby, it was Papa from Maurine who had sold Maurine to pay off debts at the gambling site.
It was difficult at first to get Maurine out. Without thinking, Genta immediately asked how much money Rey gave Bobby. After Rey answers, Genta opens the price, redeeming Maurine at 5 times the price of Rey's money given to Bobby.
Rey is shocked, for the sake of a foreign woman, Genta wants to do all this. Rey finally accepted Genta's offer, how not? 5 Times is not a small nominal. Rey also said, Maurine is not necessarily able to make money beyond what has been given a clapper in the next 5 years.
Deal happened. Genta won the bid in the end. Ganta asks Rey to drive Maurine to his car. Genta will be waiting for the parking lot.
Long enough to wait, Rey and Maurine came. Rey asks Maurine to get in the car and join someone in the car. Rey explained that someone in the car had freed her from her debt bondage, Bobby.
"Then? you finally got married?" sela Liana as Genta pauses her story.
Genta nodded, "Yes, we're married. And at that time my mind was worried, between me having to be honest with Maurine or constantly having a show. I have to divide the role into a sincere person and pretend to be good."
"Difficult position, you're great Genta. Not everyone will put up with it under the same circumstances as you," Liana said.
"Mama's right" replied Genta.
"One hand, you fought so long for your mission, your goal to avenge the deeds of those who hurt your family. On the one hand you love Maurine and don't want Maurine to get into the slightest trouble. That's why you're hiding, Mauirne. Is your assessment wrong?" ask Liana again.
"Mama's right. I hid Maurine not because I didn't want to admit Maurine as a wife in public. However, that was all I did because my mission could not be resolved. I can't mess up my mission that I've been designing for years. I'm being selfish" complained Genta.
"Your selfishness is for Maurine's good. It's okay, Genta. It's better than Maurine being dragged into your mission."
Genta looked at Liana, "Thank you, Mama. Mama wants to understand my situation, Mama's like Maurine."
"Hey, she's my daughter. Of course there will definitely be a resemblance," Liana replied smiling.
Genta smiled, relieved that there was someone who could understand his feelings.
