"Mas Hendra, I go in first" said Arini who then sauntered away. Even he did not care about Bu Nining who had been waiting for him to reach Azkia.
Hendra and Bu Nining exchanged glances for a while. They are confused because Arini is not usually indifferent. The woman did not even want to turn her head towards Azkia who came back crying because Arini did not care about her.
"Come! Didn't you hear, huh? Look, Azkia wants to come with you!" said Bu Nining with an annoyed face, following Arini's footsteps from behind. Hendra chose to return to his home.
Arini remained silent. His mouth was tightly locked and he began to learn to heed his ears from the cry of little Azkia. Because Arini did not care at all about it, Bu Nining was finally emotional. The woman grabbed Arini's hand and stopped her steps.
"Come! You're deaf, aren't you?!" pekik Bu Nining with bulging eyes.
Arini stopped her steps then turned around quickly. "Let go of my hand, ma'am. I'm not deaf, but Mother! Didn't you hear Anissa's confession yesterday? This child is the child of adultery Mother's favorite son with her! So, is it still worth it that Mom gave it to me?"
Arini turned around again and went waltzing towards her room leaving Bu Nining who was now glued to the place with perfectly rounded eyes.
The middle-aged woman actually felt slapped with her daughter-in-law's words. He did not expect that Arini who used to always give up and according to whatever his orders, now has begun to dare to rebel.
Arini went into the room and locked the door from the inside. Slowly he approached the bed and laid his body still in pain. Just at that moment, Dodi and Anissa arrived at his residence. Dodi's disheveled face back then really reflected how his heart and mind were at that moment.
"Dodi?!" screeched Bu Nining with teary eyes towards Dodi. "Thank God, you're finally back. I thought you were ...." Ms. Nining stopped her speech, she cried while hugging Dodi's body.
"Where's Arini, Mom?" At that time all Dodi had in mind was Arini. He doesn't even care about anything or anyone.
Bu Nining let go of her embrace then stared fixedly at Dodi. "Arini in the room. Let's see Azkia, she won't even help me look after Azkia. As long as you're gone, he's gone somewhere, too" Ms Nining said in annoyance.
Instead of responding to Bu Nining's words, Dodi sauntered into his room. Right now, he only wanted to meet with Arini then explain everything.
After Dodi died, Bu Nining approached Anissa who was still silent in her place standing with a face that was no less tangled.
"I think you'll be arrested" muttered Bu Nining as she handed little Azkia over to Anissa.
Anissa grabbed Azkia from Bu Nining's embrace then took her to the sofa and sat there while unwinding.
"Then, how's next? Are you guys gonna stay like this?" asked Bu Nining with a serious face.
Ms. Nining was already embarrassed by yesterday's incident. The middle-aged woman did not even dare to show her face before her fellow arrows. Because he was so sure the embarrassing story about his family must have spread widely.
"They asked us to get married as soon as possible, Mom. For the future of Azkia" Anissa replied.
Ms. Nining breathed heavily. "Yes, it should be. The song Azkia also needs you as her birth mother, right? Yes, although there must be a party who will be hurt here," said Bu Nining.
Meanwhile.
Dodi, who is now standing in front of his room, tries to open the door. However, she cannot open it because Arini locked the door from the inside.
Many times Dodi knocked on the door, but Arini still did not want to open it. Arini covered her ears with a pillow and considered the sound of knocking and calling from Dodi was just the wind.
Dodi is not out of his mind. He went to Ms. Nining's room and looked for a spare key. In addition to her, Ms. Nining also has a spare key for all the doors in her house, including her room key.
After finding the key, Dodi returned to the room and opened the key. Finally the door was opened and now he can see Arini who was lying on the bed while covering his head with a pillow.
Slowly Dodi approached Arini and sat down beside her. The man gently stroked his wife's arm with teary eyes. "I'm sorry, Arini ..," said Dodi.
Arini immediately got up then moved away from the man. "Never touch me, my mother. I'm really disgusted with you" said Arini.
"Please, Arini. Just this time, please listen to my explanation" continued Dodi.
Arini laughed softly while shaking her head. "Nothing needs to be explained anymore because everything is clear."
"Please, Arini. This time, "the question again.
