Getting Married at Age 16

The attention of the future mother-in-law?

Bu lyla's attention to alika continued and lasted a long time. She always took the time to give her favorite food and clothes. Alika is very happy with bu lyla's treatment of her.

He is getting active in working and often gets a bonus to appreciate his hard work so far.

Alika's happiness increases when she gets the news if she gets the highest score at her new school. Hearing that, lyla took him for a walk.

"Congratulations, son. I'm so proud of you. My mom's son never got that high." Praise him.

"Yes mom, thank you." Alika with brief.

Now, they were on their way to a convenience store in his area. The journey took quite a long time. They both use it by discussing many things. Both of them look very familiar. It's like mother and son.

There was no longer any awkwardness between the two of them. Alika is a girl who is easy to socialize and also jolly. It fits with Miss Lyla who likes to tell others anything.

But she has a child who doesn't talk too much. Until this moment, Alika has never met the daughter of Miss Lyla. Just looking at it through the photo displayed in the middle room. That was not too much attention.

"Come, kid. We're going down." It did not feel like they had reached their destination. Bu Lyla held alika's hand because she wanted to get closer to her.

The girl just looked at him. Look at her with a warm look. It felt like she felt the touch of a mother.

His hands are very soft and affectionate. The memories with her mother were seethed again in Alika's mind. He misses his mother very much.

Both of them set foot into the convenience store. When they arrived they were greeted by items neatly lined up on each shelf. The store provides a variety of daily necessities.

Starting from clothes to cleaning equipment. This place is a shop for lyla. He always shop here for the full reason and the price is not so expensive.

Alika has never been to this kind of place in the city. But, he remains enthusiastic. He helps mommy find things to buy.

He went down the hallway on his side there are shelves containing goods and food that have been arranged neatly while turning to and fro looking for the goods needed.

And Miss Lyla went to the place of vegetables as well as fruits. There he seemed to be busy sorting vegetables and fresh fruit. Assisted by a shop worker.

A while later, Alika approached her while carrying a basket containing goods that would later be paid at the cashier.

"Mom, alika is done." His words while showing what is in the hands of Alika.

"Oiya, son. Thank you, yeah." Ms. lyla's.

He chose vegetables and fruit. The two of them immediately went to the cashier to pay him.

After that bu lyla and alika returned home using an online taxi that had been booked.

When they arrive at home they immediately put the groceries in the place that has been provided.

"Put it according to the kind of stuff, yeah." Ms. lyla's orders.

"Yes ma'am." Answer alika. He began to arrange the groceries carefully.

It turns out Miss Lyla is a very perfectionist. He wants what he has neatly arranged. So no wonder if all the belongings of Miss Lyla must be arranged nicely.

"If it's done. Come to mom at the dinner table, yeah." Her speech.

"Good ma'am."

Because a little more alika finished arranging her groceries. After that, he immediately approached lyla.

"It's over?" Ask lyla.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Hurry here! I bought your favorite chicken." This small thing he remembered.

Alika was very happy. But, on the other hand he was always curious by the attention of mama lyla. Does he have any other intention of acting like this to her? Or just limited attention between superiors and subordinates?

But, more and more days his attitude shows unusual things. Alika felt after getting this kind of attention. He must repay her with something bigger.

Very confusing but still have to accept. Because if rejected afraid to make Miss Lyla offended. After all he is old and he should be able to understand it.

He sat down while smiling kindly at Miss Lyla. And he greeted her enthusiastically. His facial expression again reminded alika of her mother.

"Are you happy, alika?" Ask her.

"Very happy, ma'am. Thank you so much for treating Alika so well." Alika.

"Please eat! the food you want. It's also got grilled chicken and your favorite drink." He serves Alika's favorite food to the plate.

"Let's be like that, ma'am." Alika refutes the spoon in the hand of lyla's mom.

"No, let's just leave mom." He insisted on serving food to Alika.

Forced to give up for the sake of happiness, Miss Lyla. If he likes someone anything is done by him. It doesn't matter who he is or what his position is.

Alika feels lucky to have been met with people as good as her. She seemed to find again the figure of a mother in her.

"Here, son. up." Bu Lyla gave a plate filled with rice complete with her side dish.

"Yes, ma'am." Although the portion is too much for alika. It's not good to refuse him.

They both enjoyed dinner without making a sound. Until the food is finished.

"How delicious is mother-made cooking?" Ask her.

"Son, ma'am." Answer Alika.

"Yeah, I almost forgot. This is my mom buying you a gift." He pulled out a paper bag with floral motifs from under the dining table.

Alika increasingly felt burdened with his good attitude. Don't know how to. Refusing is not the right choice. But he also needs to know himself. He just wanted to help his grandmother work. And not expect a reply like this at all.

It's been too much for her. Alika can't repay all the kindness of Miss Lyla more than that. She was just an ordinary girl who had just lost her mother and older sister. And now living with an old grandmother.

"Hmm. But ma'am, don't bother like this." Said alika trying to refuse the gift of bu lyla with smooth.

"It's okay mommy iklas."
