Today with a pounding heart Jasmine had already devised a plan of meeting between her husband and in-laws.
Between joy and fear merge into one. From yesterday he had trouble sleeping to imagine how their meeting would be.
This afternoon, Jasmine will be taking her husband Omar to lunch at a large restaurant in Mall XX.
He has also informed Zahra and Oryza who will come together to the restaurant. The plan he had arranged very carefully with Oryza.
They want the Mother and Child meeting to bring kindness and peace to both in the future.
Zahra was no less panicked. Surprised to get a call from his daughter-in-law this morning. Reported that Omar wants to see him soon this afternoon.
Although his heart was afraid but also very happy. His longing for his eldest son had long held in his heart. Zahra would not waste Jasmine's request this time. He would give up his yearning today to his beloved son.
At half-twelfth noon Jasmine was already in Omar's car. Omar accidentally picked her up at Kindergarten because today they made a lunch appointment with her outside.
Jasmine did not tell her plans this afternoon that would bring Omar together with her Mama. Last night Omar asked her to meet with her Mom today but Jasmine did not say that this afternoon was the time.
Omar looks relaxed because he does not know his wife's plans. Jasmine purposely kept it a secret so that Omar would be more relaxed and relaxed.
There is no tension about meeting his mother after fifteen years. Omar drove his car cheerfully. A smile continued to radiate from his lips, assuming he was on a lunch date with his wife.
Zahra and Oryza have arrived at the restourant that Jasmine promised. Zahra's hands were cold and she was praying from then on that her son could receive his presence again.
Jasmine deliberately reserved a private room, so that later they could talk casually without any interference from anyone. At once Jasmine did not want someone to see their meeting.
Because it is not yet time to display Zahra's relationship with her children in public before their problems are resolved and before it is revealed who really perpetrated the murder of her Papa.
"Mama calm down, don't tense up. I'm sure Omar is ready to meet Mama. The proof is he himself who asked for it the same Sister Jasmine. Brother Omar will not be angry with Mama" entertain Oryza.
"Yes dear Oza. Mama is just groggy baby because it has not met your sister for a long time" replied Zahra.
Oryza clasped his mother's hand which felt cold as ice.
Twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Jasmine and Omar had arrived at Mall XX. They walked towards the restourant that Jasmine had ordered.
"Mas we ate at XX restourant huh. I booked a place there" said Jasmine.
"Tumben did you book first, dear?" omar asked curiously with a smile.
"Yes donk, this lunch is special for my husband" Jasmine returned her husband's smile warmly.
Omar clasped his wife's hand as if he didn't want to go far. They joined hands walking towards the restourant that Jasmine mentioned earlier.
They were already in front of the restourant entrance.
"Good day, welcome to Restourant XX" said one of the restourant waiters.
"I booked this place this morning" Jasmine replied kindly.
"What's the name of Ma'am?" ask the waiter.
"Jasmine Ardhan" Jasmine replied.
"Oh yes private space. Please ma'am, show me the place.
Omar looked at his wife's face with a questioning look. Jasmine simply smiled back at her husband's gaze.
"Have you planned this this morning, baby?" ask Omar curiously.
"Hemmm.." replied Jasmine briefly with a mysterious smile.
The door of the private room opened Sontak Zahra san Oryza stood staring at the door. Waiting for Omar and Jasmine to come.
Zahra's heart is beating so fast. He must be strong to meet his son. There's no way he's running from this situation. Time and time again he convinced himself to go through this. Because sooner or later this must be done.
Omar and Jasmine enter the private room. Omar stopped his steps when he saw that Oryza and his mother were waiting inside.
He was very surprised at the surprise made by his wife. Last night he did say he wanted to meet his mother and asked his wife to bring him together. But he really didn't think it was time.
Not even his wife said anything about this lunch. Jasmine just said that lunch was special. This is what his wife meant.
"Mas... Didn't you say you wanted to see Mama today?" jasmine said, whispering in her husband's ear.
Jasmine clasping her husband's hand tightly gave strength and vigor to Omar. She knew her husband was tense and shocked at what he was doing.
Her husband definitely did not expect to meet and have lunch with her Mom this afternoon.
"We sit down yuk. Kasian Mama has been waiting for our arrival for a long time" said Jasmine.
Jasmine took a sitting position right in front of Oryza. Omar sat next to Zahra.
"Have you waited a long time?" asked Jasmine gently.
"But baby, we also just came" replied Zahra no less soft.
He looked at his son's face with affection. While Omar seems still reluctant to return his mother's gaze.
Omar just glanced at his wife. Jasmine held her husband's hand tightly. He seemed to want to channel his spirit and strength to Omar.
The waiter came with a menu list that they would order for their lunch meal.
"What would you eat?" jasmine asked breaking the silence between them.
"Whatever. You choose" Omar replied.
"What do you want to order?" jasmine asked her in-laws.
"Just like, baby. Mama just follow your order" Zahra replied.
"I'd like to order your steak" Oryza said.
"OKAY. Steak one, yes. Crab soup, capcay, krispy shrimp, and black pepper beef. All one large portion. Drink only mineral water and plus dessert dalgona strowberry. You want Za's dessert?" jasmine asked Oryza.
"You Ma'am, same thing" Oryza replied as he looked at his dessert picture on the menu.
"Dessertnya four yes Mas. It was then, later if there were any other additions following" Jasmine asked the waiter and then the waiter recorded all Jasmine's orders and immediately prepared all the food that had been ordered.
The atmosphere was silent between them.
"So where are you from Za?" jasmine asked broke the silence from the awkwardness between them.
"So I went to college for a while Ma'am picked up Mama at the new Mbak Cake Shop here" Oryza replied.
"Cake Shop is safe when Mama stays?" jasmine asked her in-laws.
"Sweetie, there's Sheila in charge" she replied.
The atmosphere is a little awkward but appreciable until now can be said to be safe. There was no such frightening thing as Jasmine, Oryza and Zahra imagined.
Although Omar remained silent but at least he was still in this room. Jasmine had promised Omar that she would not force Omar to do enough to come, which was already a big change. At least her in-laws could already let go of her son's longing.
The waiter came to present the menu that Jasmine pinta had. They had lunch together as a full family that afternoon.
Zahra was so happy and moved, it had been a long time since she had dreamed of something like this. Finally his dream came true. Thanks God... Inner Zahra.
After finishing lunch Jasmine took Oryza out to look for something. But that's just an excuse. She gave her husband and father-in-law time so they could talk alone.
"Za, accompany Mbak look for yuk lotion. The accuracy of having Mbak out at home" Jasmine asked while giving a code to her sister-in-law.
"Yu Ma'am I'm with you guys I want to find something too" Oryza replied.
"Mas, I'll stay a while. Wait here, yeah. I went first with Oryza" said Jasmine.
Omar answered him silently. If Omar doesn't forbid it, silence means giving permission.
Jasmine and Oryza leave the private room.
