Kanya's Story

Mama was wrong, right?

"I want your son to marry my son". Nadia said seriously. "And I want you to give me monthly money. If you don't do what I ask, I will take your actions to the police who killed my husband. I hope there is no rejection", Nadia said firmly.

Mama Zahra swallowed her saliva with difficulty, Mama Nadia did not blame if she had to give money to Nadia every month. But the problem is, does Zaen want to, marry his son Nadia?

"For now, I agree, I will give you what you want" replied Mama Zahra.

"If you answer agree, your answer until later will always be considered like that".

"Ah, how is this?" , Mama Zahra said in her heart.

"Well, but there's one condition", Mama Zahra paused her talk before she continued, "I can marry my son to your son, I can also give you her monthly money, but.. All of this only happened for one year. I also hope there is no rejection. If you disagree, then I will sue you back for extortion", continued Mama Zahra steadily.

Nadia muttered, "Alright, it's fine for just one year. The important thing is that I can feel like I have a lot of money".

"I agree", replied Nadia.

"How much money do you want to ask for, call me. And I'll take care of when my son's and your son's wedding begins. If there's nothing to talk about anymore, I'm sorry". Mama Zahra said as she lifted her butt and left Nadia alone.

"Where's Mama from?", asked Zaen after seeing his mother come home.

"Zaen, Mama wants to talk to you". Then Mama Zahra sat her body right where the sofa her son was sitting on.

"Zaen", call Mama Zahra.

"Huh?", replied Zaen with a face that pretended to be stupid.

"Ihh! Mama seriously!", snapped Mama Zahra.

"Well, what do you want to say?",

"Mama wants you to marry the son of a man that Mama hit",

"Sanya", Nadia's voice calling out to her daughter echoed throughout the room.

"Here, son. Something I need to tell you",

"What, Mom?"

"Father told Mother, if you have to marry a friend of her deceased child" said Nadia with a face that convinced her child to want, and hope her child can obey what she said.

"Don't you say the same to me, Mom? Usually if you have nothing to say to me", replied Kanya in amazement.

"Originally your father wants to talk about it this week",

"But I certainly don't know the same person, Mom" Kanya said, looking down.

"Slowly, you too must know",

"Surely, Kanya doesn't want to get married now, Mom. But..", Kanya's voice choked because it could not accept the reality. "for the sake of the Father, Kanya is ready", he continued.

Nadia's face immediately implied that she was happy with her son's answer. Nadia hugged her son. Kanya could only sigh heavily.

"You have to follow what you say, yes, dear. Let your father calm down there because you want to obey his request", said Nadia still with a face sumringah.

"Yes, Mom", Kanya answered briefly.

"What, Ma? Mama was wrong to say, right?", Zaen distanced his body because he did not believe what he heard.

"Please Mama, Zaen. If Mama doesn't follow her will, Mama can go to jail! You want Mama to go to jail?", Mama Zahra started to rile because she was afraid her son refused outright.

"But I have a Goddess, Ma. I love the Goddess!", Zaen replied by clenching his hands because there was no way he could marry a woman he did not love. "I also never knew what the son of the man Mama hit was" he continued.

"Mama knows, Zaen. But Mama didn't want to go to jail either", Mama Zahra started shedding tears.

Zaen who saw his mother crying immediately wiped his mother's tears. Zaen did not want his mother to shed tears. Whoever makes his mother sad, Zaen will make her disappear from the earth.
