Once they got to their modest house, Alika and grandma went down and thanked Kenzie.
"What, Nak Kenzie doesn't stop by first," said grandma, Kenzie who also got out of his car shook her head.
"No need, Grandma. Next time, after all this is also late, Grandma must be tired because of the problem earlier, Alika also definitely needs a break," said Kenzie switch to see Alika with her hair is still messy because of the work of Dena.
Alika nodded faintly, today she did not say much, although she was very tired and her eyes were all constant, she still tried to be friendly and draw a smile line to Kenzie, trying to look beautiful.
"Be careful on the road, yes" he said, making Kenzie nod and turn to his car. Grandma and Alika continue to stand in place until Kenzie's car completely disappears from their sight. After that they looked at each other.
"You're patient, son. There is Grandma who will be with you" said grandma stroking her grandson's hair. Alika nodded back. He was used to it, hurt by his mother's favoritism
"Come, Grandma. We go in, at least our mission succeeds," said Alika made grandmother nod. Then, they laughed even though there was an incident that they had experienced. However, what their goal was other than dinner was fulfilled.
"True, what Kenzie said, Mom and Dena's business was his business. He just wants your decision. A statement about their desire to make you a son-in-law in that luxurious house," said the grandmother as she opened the door.
"Yes. Nak. Alika wants to be Kenzie's wife. Honestly Alika was very satisfied to see the anger of Dena earlier, Grandma."
"Udah, we're not talking about your mom and Dena. Most importantly, ask your father's permission. Tell them of Kenzie's good intentions and should all activities of the proposal be held at your father's residence." proposed the grandmother. "Even if your father is the same, at least he's not against kama and Kenzie's marriage. Nensi is also a good stepmom."
"Yes, Grandma. I'll take Kenzie to see you first."

"What do you mean to approach Kenzie? Do you know if Kenzie is Dena's lover?" mother asked with emotion while pointing at Alika's face.
"No, Ma. Mother was wrong, I had no idea if Kenzie was Dena's lover" Alika lied.
"You think, I believe! You must be eager to find out and want to hurt Dena, you envy yes, because I love Dena more than you!" the Goddess snapped at her only daughter. At this time the grandmother was still in the kitchen, she was shocked to hear the snapping issued by the Goddess earlier.
Grandma who heard that, rushed to Alika's room and saw Dewi slap Alika so that Alika who was standing in front of her mother now fell on her bed.
"Goddess! What the fuck are you! How dare you slap Alika." Grandma walked in and examined her grandson's cheeks. "During this Mom who raised him, you were indeed the Mother who gave birth to him, but Mother money took care of him. You have no right to do what you just did!" said Grandma felt annoyed when she saw Alika holding her cheeks reddened by the Goddess slap. Since childhood Alika lived with him, not once did the grandmother hurt Alika like what the Goddess did today.
"I did this because Alika deserved it, Mom. I had to tell Alika that Kenzie wasn't for her. However, Kenzie is for Dena and I warn Mom and Alika too! Don't ever come to Andien's house again, you don't deserve to come to such a luxurious house!" the Goddess said as if speaking not to her biological mother.
Alika did not accept her Grandma in the snaps even though it was her biological child.
"Enough, Mom! I used to listen to what Mom said, but now I don't! If Kenzie and Andien's mom wanted me to be in that house as a daughter-in-law I'd be there, I couldn't stop me!" alika stood up again and looked at her mother. One slap back wants to be thrown by the Goddess to Alika. However, Alika immediately caught him and grabbed his mother's hand and brushed him off.
"Mom don't try to slap me, really what Grandma said. Mother is only my real mother, but it is not Mother who takes care of me, I will be more subject to what Grandma says than Mother. So, now Mom's out of this house before I reply to what you've been doing to me, before I return the slap you gave me!" alika pointed at her cheek that was still heating up because of her mother's slap.
"Based on a bad boy! You were born from my womb, I was pregnant with you for 9 months and suckled you, how dare you say that to me!" snapped the Goddess still with her angry face.
"really? Was I really born from my mother's womb? Did Mom ever really suckle me? Then why do you love Dena more than born from the womb of the Mother, which grows not from the water of the Mother's breast. Why, Mom? Why do you love Dena more than me? I feel pain every time Mom compares me to Dena! If Dena was the real daughter of the mother from that second marriage I might be able to understand. But ...," Alika's words stopped, she could not continue her words, her voice imprinted in her throat. He could only clench both of his fists to channel his emotions. If the woman in front of him was not his mother, maybe he had already raised both fists to the face of the person who had been making incisions in his heart.
