Ken was about to grab a canned drink in the refrigerator when the mother had just entered the house.
Ken approached the woman who gave birth to him by walking slowly and casually. One hand was put into the pocket of jogger pants that he was wearing, and one hand was still faithfully holding a soft drink can.
There have been many questions that Ken wants to ask the Mama right now, of course, about the beginning of the introduction of the Mama with Zahra and since when did Mama find out if Ken has 'something' with the girl.
"Ma.." said Ken to Devia.
Devia looked at Ken. "Why, Ken?" tanyakanya.
"Is Mama tired? There's a lot I want to ask Mama."
"Lumayan is tired, anyway. But, Mama will answer your question." Devia smiled meaningfully, as if she could tell what Ken wanted to ask her.
"Okay, I'm waiting for Mama on the back porch, yeah..." Ken passed from there, while Devia went straight to her room to bathe and pray first.
After waiting for a while, Devia finally approached Ken who had sat on the back porch chair while looking dreamy.
"Ken.." said Devia.
"Ma! Let's sit here." said Ken smiling at the mother.
"The aura is again in this light," Devia's tease of Ken and Ken nodded at her mother's speech.
"Ma, since when did Mama know Hana?" ken asked the question as Devia began to sit by his side.
Devia took a long breath. "If you know the new this month, yes, but if you know the figure of the girl you like, the taste - it's been a long time Mama knows!"
"really?" Ken smiled without looking at his face.
Devia nodded faintly. "What you need to know is .. There is no mother in this world who really does not care about her child. Even though he has abandoned the child, consciously or unconsciously, of 100% of his attitude, at least there must be a concern for his child, even if it is only 0.5! Only sometimes, a mother does not need to show that concern clearly to the child."
Ken smiled slightly as he nodded. "So the point is, all this time Mama Mataain my life, is it?" ask Ken who has drawn a conclusion.
"You could say so." answered Devia frankly.
"So, Mama also followed Hana up here? Or has Mama worked here for a long time?" ask Ken.
"Of course Mama's company was here first Ken. Mama didn't follow him! In fact, Mama doesn't even know why Hana came to this town. Maybe from the beginning it was fate that wanted to bring Mama together with her."
"...At that time, Mama was depositing money in the Bank, then Mama accidentally saw the figure of Hana who seemed to have just arrived at an inn. The inn was located directly across from the Bank that Mama visited."
"Then?"
"Because she was unsure, Mama followed her to the inn. Mama sits in the lobby and overhears Hana talking to a worker there. They told me about the problem that Hana was facing."
Ken frowned, not understanding the meaning of the mother. "Problems? What problems?" tanyakanya.
"So, once arrived in this area, Hana was tricked by people. Mama felt sorry. Mama also feels like Mama who has also been cheated by investors. Then, Mama helped him. Nothing is wrong, right? Moreover, she is the girl that Mama's child likes." said Devia while chuckling softly.
"Oh, yes, I remember that if I had also searched for Hana at the inn, the worker there said that Hana was tricked and lost her wallet and cell phone, I also had a chance to see the cctv footage there to make sure it was Hana or not!"
"Yes .. That's right Hana, Ken!" answer Devia.
"But wait a minute..."
"Why again?"
Ken seemed to remember something he had forgotten. "Jeez. I even saw Mama helping Hana at that time. Mama's the woman who bought Hana's ring, right?" ken wants to make sure.
Devia nodded as well. "Yes" he replied.
"Oh my goodness, I didn't know it was Mama, because the cctv was behind Mama's body. So my gaze could only stare at Hana and not recognize Mama."
"You suck!" Devia thaws because her son doesn't recognize himself in the cctv tape.
"Yes sorry, Ma. because at that time I was focused on finding Hana." Ken scratched his non-itchy nape.
Devia smiled gently, until Ken opened his voice again because he was not finished with all this.
"Mama... Mama...when if the intention to help Hana at that time, why also buy the ring! Tingal was just given money loan assistance," Ken chirped as he shook his head.
Suddenly, Devia took something out from her side, then handed it to Ken.
"Take this... Mama has made sure the size fits on Hana's finger," said Devia while pulling Ken's hand.
Ken stared at the nanar of a ring box that had been placed by his mother on his hand.
"This...what, Ma?"
"That's the ring for your engagement and Hana's. Mama already ordered it so know the size of Hana's finger. Mama also confirmed it because she had asked Hana to wear it the other day. The size is very fitting, just stay the show. Soz do not doubt all the plans Mama has planned carefully yes!" Devia smiled brightly as she clapped her hands cheerfully before Ken, as she could not wait to see Ken and Zahra get married.
"Don't say .. if Mama accidentally bought Hana's ring while in the inn, to know Hana's finger size!" ken said with his sharp eyes.
Mama raised her eyebrows in front of Ken. "Yes that way! Mama still buy Hana's ring to know the size of her finger. Because this is the initial intention of Mama, Mama really want to design a special pair of rings for Mama's child and Mama's future daughter-in-law." Devia also chuckled loudly, even Ken to gawk because of Mama's actions that turned out to be beyond his prediction.
"Oh my goodness, Mama..." Ken patted his own forehead. "So, what other plans have you put together besides this?" ask Ken.
Devia smiled meaningfully.

On Sunday, Zahra prepared - ready to attend the invitation from Devia. He wore the kebaya that Devia had bought for him the other day.
He pecked himself in front of the mirror, decorating his face with a simple, flawless make-up. Wearing a blush and a nude-colored lipstick has been smeared on his lips.
Not to forget he wore a hijab that is in line with the kebaya that has been installed fitting in his slender body.
Zahra picked up her handbag, hoping it could complement her appearance. Then wear heels that are high enough to adjust to songket that bandages the legs of the tie.
"Ready.." murmured Zahra enthusiastically. He rarely attends formal events like this.
"Let's wait for Dirga's sister to pick him up!" chirp it again while putting a small watch on his wrist.
The plan is indeed today Zahra will be picked up by Rasta, the older brother. Because Rasta also said to be invited by Ken in the event.
"Wait a minute, I seem to have forgotten something." The warning mode in Zahra's head arrived - it was like it was sounding, trying to remind him of a moment or what he might have forgotten.
Zahra had not yet remembered what was forgotten, it turned out that the security guard where his boarding had called to say that Rasta had picked up Zahra and was waiting in front of the gate.
Within a few minutes, Zahra had arrived at the brother's car.
"It's really pretty, my sister." said Rasta.
Zahra laughed softly with the old-fashioned chatter of the Big Brother.
"Thank you my sister! If not, then I must have turned the kanebo dry!" chirp Rasta while smacking a smile.
Zahra could only shake her head faintly in response to her sister's sloppy-sounding words.
Arriving at Devia's house, Zahra felt glued while staring at the beautiful decorations that had been installed there. The reason, the engagement decoration shows the writing of his name and Ken there.
This is not just an initial name, but their real names are listed there.
Kendra and Zeevana
Gosh... That's Zahra's real name, isn't it?
And in the same second, Zahra just remembered the thing he had forgotten and he tried to remember - remember the time at the boarding house.
"Tante Devia said that today was the moment of her new child's engagement. The child he was referring to was definitely not Zaki! The other and newly arrived children of Devia's aunt... Ken?" inner Zahra, he immediately felt bad.
"Oh my God, why can I forget something so important? I should have realized that the one who will be engaged today is the son of Aunt Devia who turns out it is Ken.." murmured Zahra choked. It was hard to swallow his own saliva.
"Ken and I?" zahra says monologue.
"Yes, you and I. Have you forgotten that you accepted my proposal yesterday?"
And Zahra turned around when she heard that familiar voice, she found Ken there and sure enough, it felt like she wanted to faint right now due to surprise.
