"Where?" ask Amanda.

"What do you want to know more about Abhimana Nak? Didn't you know the truth about Abimana?"

"What's the truth Ma? I never even knew about the truth of my past? Why Ma? Why is Mama covering up the truth of my past? Abhimana has been so cruel to all of us, why is Mama still willing to forgive him and even cover up the crimes he committed against me? Do you want Abiman to look good in front of me?" said Kenzo with a tone that began to rise. Amanda then stroked Kenzo's arm while looking at him with such a gentle gaze. The loving gaze of a mother who loved her son so much, now Kenzo also looks wrong because it gets a sad look from Amanda.

"Kenzo, we better go in first, we'll talk inside" Amanda replied with a smile. Kenzo nodded his head. Amanda then went into her house followed by Kenzo behind her. Amanda then looked at Kenzo, a look of disappointment so clearly adorned her face.

"Kenzo, do you know that Mama loves you so much? You're my first son, and it wasn't easy when Mama was pregnant with you, it could be called life and death when Mama was pregnant with you because Mama was still suffering from heart disease. You're Mama's heart, you know when you're sad, Mama feels more pain than you do. When you cry, Mama's feelings are also so broken, because you're so precious in Mama's life, Kenzo. Mama hid all the truth about your past and Abhimana was not to cover up Abhimana's crimes, Mama just didn't want to hurt your feelings, she said, Mama knows you must be feeling really sick when you find out your real dad dumped you first, right?"

Amanda then wiped away her tears which were now beginning to flow down her face. "I'm sorry Mama Kenzo, Mama just didn't want you to get hurt back when you found out about this. You've just experienced something that wasn't easy in your life, the breakup you had with Cleo has left you so devastated. Mama just doesn't want you to go back to feeling the same way, she just doesn't want you to get hurt if you know the real existence" Amanda said sobbing.

Seeing Amanda cry, guilt now envelops Kenzo's heart. He then approached Amanda and hugged her.

"I'm sorry Kenzo, Ma. Sorry Kenzo has been thinking badly of Mama, it's not appropriate for Kenzo to be prejudiced against Mama. Kenzo should have realized that everything Mama did was for Kenzo's good" Kenzo said, hugging and wiping away Amanda's tears.

"The mom who should be apologizing for hiding all this from you, Mama's been very selfish, Kenzo."

Amanda looked at Kenzo. "Kenzo, since childhood Mama has been cared for by Abimana's parents, Papa Raka and Mama Vera have been very kind to Mama, do you know that none of our relatives live here? They loved Mama so much, even Papa Raka also tried to protect Mama even though her health condition was deteriorating."

Amanda then stroked Kenzo's hair.

"Listen to Mama's story, Kenzo. Papa Raka, your grandfather, he raised the Word to have power in the company so that Abhimana does not act arbitrarily, besides he also ordered Papa Rayhan to take care of Mama, Mama, that's what she did when Mama was in a coma, she did that to protect Mama. Abhimana's parents loved Mama very much and after all Abhimana was Mama's first love, we grew up together over the years and were already betrothed. Maybe it's the same way you feel about Cleo. Cleo was your first love, right? Although Mama had no feelings for Abimana but Mama would never let herself get the death sentence, especially Abimana had repented. He deserves to be given a chance to live, he deserves to be given a chance to correct all the mistakes in his past. God alone is Oft-Forgiving, we do not deserve to behave like human beings who do not have faith in God. Not because of emotions, our conscience is closed to doing good to others. Do you understand, Kenzo?"

Kenzo nodded his head. "Yes Ma, but please don't ask me to forgive Abimana, I haven't been able to do all that."

"No Kenzo, you deserve to be angry with him, accepting the harsh reality is not easy, all you need is time to be airy and accept everything sincerely. Mama won't force you, but she's your real father anyway, even if you hate her but she's entitled to attend your wedding one more week. Would you accept her arrival at your wedding?" ask Amanda. But Kenzo just fell silent, not a single word came out of his mouth that made a silence created between him and Amanda. Suddenly, his phone sounded. Kenzo then looked at the screen of his phone and saw Clarissa's name on his phone. 'Clarissa?' muttered Kenzo while glancing at Amanda.

"Who's Kenzo?"

"Oh.. E.. It's..."

'Don't something happen to Clarissa, ' Kenzo muttered.
