Zahra takes Sekar to a mall to shop for Serena's wedding needs tomorrow. The sudden wedding that must be carried out less than three days, making all family members must move quickly.
Due to the limited time, this wedding will only be held simply. And for the wedding venue, of course, it will be held at her mother Serena's own house. Zahra got the task to buy all the items her brother needed. Starting from wedding clothes, jewelry and also family uniforms. While to decorate the house and food supplies to be served, it became the task of Bi Sari.
Zahra took Sekar to and fro, without letting go of his grasp. The little girl could only obey, especially Zahra had bribed her by giving her ice cream. This was the first time she tried to eat cold, but seeing her radiant face, Zahra could deduce that the little girl liked her. Although Sekar's first feed was silent, surprised by the sweet taste that was melting in his mouth, but he continued to eat and even spend it.
Being in a place he had never seen before, made Sekar a little scared but also happy. Sekar was very curious about where he stood at this time, but he still did not take his eyes off the aunt who was very enthusiastic about his shopping activities. She did not want to be lost in a place she had just known.
Zahra turned her head when she felt her shoulder being patted by someone. And his eyes are perfectly rounded, because they recognize who did it.
“If it's not wrong, you're Serena's sister right? Ms. Zahra! Right?”
“Yes right, Brother Farrel.”Zahra became nervous, then asked back to distract.”But why is Kak Farrel in this boutique? Does Brother Farrel want to marry again?”
Zahra knew the story of her brother with the man in front of her. He thought that Farrel had separated from his first wife, and suspected that the man was preparing for a second marriage.
“Oh... that... anu... this boutique one belongs to Kak Farrel. Today there is one of them Kak Farrel who wants to order a wedding dress. You alone?”
Zahra did not answer, his eyes were busy looking for the existence of Sekar. And when he found out that the child was still sitting where he had ordered, Zahra was immediately relieved. He gave the code to Sekar, so that his weapon approached him.
“Need Brother Farrel help? Your shopping is pretty much. Are you going to attend a special event?”
“No need to bother. Yes, at home there will be special events, maybe more precisely called very special events.” Zahra replied with a radiant face.
Farrel saw Sekar approaching and hugged Zahra's leg. Without asking, Farrel immediately concluded that the little boy who hugged Zahra was his son.
“Then where is your husband? farrel asked, and Zahra just smiled. “It looks like from earlier Brother Farrel didn't see it? Didn't he come? Why did he let his wife and son carry so many things like this, or did you just come together?”
Zahra again just smiled at the question asked of her. He did not want to try to explain anything to Farrel, and let the man think as he wished.
Farrel frowned when he realized that Zahra was holding one of the same dresses many times.
“Who would you like to buy a dress for?”
“Emm... create..” Zahra confusion to answer.
“PAPAAA!” sekar's shout saved Zahra from Farrel's question this time. Joni who just entered the boutique, immediately welcomed Sekar's body which poured into his arms.
“What's the shopping done?” joni asked Zahra without looking at Farrel.
“Pay this one only, Bang Jon.”
Holding Sekar's hand, Joni walks to the cashier and pays for the dress Zahra took from one of the storefronts. Farrell was a little surprised by what he saw. He doesn't know that Joni is Zahra's husband, and they even have a child. Who did Zahra buy the wedding dress for?
“Maybe they want to hold a reception,” thought Farrel.
“Let's go home,” Joni told Sekar. He brought most of the groceries and left the rest to be carried by Zahra.
Joni was unconcerned about Farrel being there. Looks like the man still can't change his dislike for Farrel who used to hurt Serena. Assume it does not exist and choose to leave immediately while smiling at Sekar.
Zahra at a glance threw a smile at Farrel as he was about to step out of the boutique. She wanted to say goodbye but did not, as Joni gave her a sharp look while shaking her head.
“Is he jealous of me?” inner Farrel as she looked at Joni's angry gaze at Zahra.
The three of them came out of the mall. On the way to the car in the parking lot, Joni stops and turns her body on Zahra.
“Did Zahra say something about Mba Rena to that man?” tanyanya full of search.
“Ngga Bang Jon,” replied Zahra scared.
“Thank God if you don't. Because if so, maybe Mama Rena's marriage can be canceled. And Bang Jon no longer knows how to help your brother if it's too late.”
Joni's hand is pinching her temple. He was so tired of the thought of preparing for the wedding of his beloved girl, tomorrow.
“Zahra understands Bang Jon,” said Zahra trying to calm the man who was looking fragile in his eyes.

Previous night
The tense atmosphere turned even more tense, after the house was the arrival of an uninvited guest. Adit knocks on the door of Serena's mother's house, with Yudi behind her.
“What did you come here for?” ketus Serena's mother to Yudi. The man clearly knew that his presence would only add to the hatred of the woman he had long left behind. But for the sake of the smooth marriage of the eldest daughter, Yudi decided his veins.
“I came to take care of Serena's wedding, our son.”
“Our son, do you remember that Serena was our son?” cynical mother Serena.
“Iya, of course I remember.”
Based on Joni's story, Serena's mother knew that she would soon meet Yudi. Inevitably, she should be prepared to meet the man on Serena's wedding day. Yudi is Serena's father, and the man will be the guardian of the woman to marry her daughter.But he did not expect that he would meet Yudi tonight, and that too without preparation.
All the things that Joni told him alone still could not be accepted, and now it must be coupled with the presence of a shameless man who was visiting his house.
“We should sit down first,” Bi Sari proposal on everyone who is there.
Adit and Joni sit side by side, while Yudi chooses a chair that only fits one person close to Serena's mother's seat.
“How far are your plans?” tanya Yudi opened the conversation.
“What plan?!” jutek Serena's mother.
“Have you not told it Joni?”
“Already Mr. Yudi, but mother has not given an answer.”
“Maya...” call Yudi on her mother Serena.
After a long time, Serena's mother finally heard someone say her name. But why should that man?
“Choose one of the two young men in front of you, I will approve without asking.” said Yudi to welcome the woman who may still be his wife. There is no divorce trial between the two.
Adit and Joni exchanged glances, they were both shocked by Yudi's speech just now. Adit is seen holding a smile, while Joni has clenched her fists under the table. Because she did not dare to protest in front of her mother Serena, so she could only keep quiet and try to listen to the next conversation.
“Why two?” tanya Bi Sari was confused. At first he is angry when he hears that Joni is going to marry Serena. He disagrees because he considers Joni who is just a driver inappropriate to be with her own employer. But when compared to Adit, of course Bi Sari prefers Joni to be a daughter-in-law in the house.
“Because both of them love Serena, and both have the same opportunity. Doesn't any of us, no one knows, which man Serena wants to be her husband? So we have to open up opportunities to anyone who's ever been close to Serena. Righteously my words?”yudi.
“Although Ni Maryam appointed Joni who should marry Serena, but we do not know if Serena will accept it or not. The important thing is that we must immediately prepare for Serena's wedding as soon as possible, pending the decision of Maya.” he added.
“Why do you talk so much Yudi! You don't cross the line of my authority to determine who deserves to be Serena's husband. It's best that now that you two go home, I will determine who is worthy to be my daughter-in-law. Get ready for the third day, because before the event, I will mention the name of the man who will be my eldest daughter's life companion.”
Serena's mother left the room without looking. He was already powerless to endure the crying that had almost broken. She really did not expect that Serena would choose the forbidden path for her sake. And now his daughter is serving her sentence.
-
The old woman was already inside Serena's room. He sat down right next to the princess's still motionless body. For a moment he looked at Sekar who was also on the bed, precisely to the left of his mother's body.
“Are you sure that your mom will be able to wake up again?’ ask him to Sekar.
“Iya grandma, mom will wake up. Grandma don't cry anymore yeah,”
Sekar's tiny hand rubbed the clear dew dripping down Serena's mother's cheek. Her face was sad because her grandmother was crying.
Sekar's body moved to move places, he chose to sit on the lap of the grandmother. There was absolutely no rejection, Serena's mother even deliberately changed the way she sat so that Sekar felt comfortable in his arms.
“Sekar... don't sit there! Your grandmother's leg will hurt,” reprimand Joni.
“Mother is okay Jon. It's nice to see him feel comfortable living with us in this house. It seemed that his presence was indeed destined to bring happiness to this house. The proof, soon mother will soon see Serena married.” he said while forcing a smile.
“Sekar... take care of mama yes, grandma wants to rest first in the room.”.
“Iya nek,” says Sekar.
Once in her private room, her mother Serena immediately continued her crying that she had been able to endure. He did not want to show sorrow to Sekar.
“Why did all this have to happen to my family, Sari? Why did Serena have to accept such a severe punishment? I should have felt all these things hiks.”
Bi Sari deliberately followed her mother Serena up to the room, because she knew that the woman must need a friend at times like this.“Patience mom, everyone has set.”
-
“Is everything ready, Sari?”
“Already, Sister Rena is also being dressed by neng Zahra above.”
Serena's mother nodded lightly, then she called out to Joni.
“What guests have come Jon?”
“It seems not all bu. For Mr. Rt and Mr. Ustad, it's already outside. Just waiting for Mr. Penghulu, ma'am,” replied Joni.
“Then... has that man come?”
For a moment Joni was confused, but after Bi Sari gave her a sign, she knew who the person her mother Serena meant.
“Joni's line gets a message, if they're there ready and he says it'll be coming soon.”
“Sure once again yes! Let everything go smoothly.”
“Iya bu,” compact answer Bi Sari and Joni.
Not long after, Mr. Penghulu came. Right on the third day determined by Ni Maryam, the wedding is ready to be held. Although the bride could not be present in the room where the contract, but she had dressed up pretty and waited in her room.
“Is everything ready?” ask pak penghulu.
“Each Mr. Penghulu,” replied his mother Serena.
“Then... which one is the groom-to-be?”
Suddenly.
“WAIT!!” enter a man who was not expected by Joni.
“I! I am his groom-to-be.”
“Pak penghulu, can the show be implemented immediately?”
“Iya. Go for the groom!”
“I RECEIVED MARRIAGE AND MATING SERENA ADNAN MALIK BINTI YUDI ADNAN MALIK WITH THE DOWRY, CASH!”
“How is the guardian? Valid?”
“Saaaaah..”
“Alhamdulillah.”.
The event that ended with prayer and eating together has been held smoothly. Some smiled happily, but some were disappointed.
“What is this?!”
Serena suddenly stood at the end of the stairs with a tense face. Making everyone who was downstairs surprised and spontaneously turned their faces to look at him.
“Mamaa!” Sekar ran towards Serena and immediately hugged her.
“Mama?” Serena is confused by the call Sekar gave her. The little girl nodded. Serena now knows that Sekar is coming with her home and has now become part of her family. He had a lot of questions, but endured not asking about it for now.
Serena aligned her height with Sekar, gently held his shoulder and asked.
“Sekar... if I am your mama, then which papa?” tanyanya gently.
She answered by turning her back, then pointed to one of the men standing below, who was also looking at her.
“Papa the one!”
