ME VS MY BROTHER'S

Episode 7's

Silvana and her mother are shopping and buying some necessities, it's Saturday and she has no schedule of practice, her original intention was to invite Claudia, but Aksa begged that her daughter be left alone, moreover, Aksa is asking to make a snack, so they go alone.

"Mom, here's some broccoli, just buy it one time, okay?" silvana asked her mother.

"Don't ah, ade ga like you know, change pokchoy just like enoki mushrooms only he likes tuh"

"Oh yaudah, Ana look first"

Silvana was looking for her daughter's favorite enoki mushroom, thinking maybe today just cook sukiyaki. When he wanted to take his vegetables, it turned out that someone took the same item as him. Silvana looked at his side.

"Ana?" Call the woman with her hijab.

"Keiko.." Ana replied in surprise.

"Geez, how are you? How can we meet here huh hahaha, you know that I bring souvenirs for you who already I'm ready"

"I'm good, how are you Kei?. Where are you brother from??" ask Silvana wonder.

"Reiki don't tell me? I just returned from dubai nemenin mas Satyo, because deket so all I umrah" explained Keiko.

"I don't know me, even though almost 3 weeks ago he came to my house, you know, not care about Claudi"

From far away Nesya saw her son was talking to a woman, from his figure Nesya was not a stranger. He also approached the two people who were talking, sure he knew the pastel pink hijab woman. Keiko Alvaro is the mother of Reiki.

"Lho is Keiko ? how are you doing, son?" asked Nesya with a smile.

"Geez mother, good allhamdulillah" Keiko replied as she kissed Nesya's hand.

Silvana smiled at the two, he and Keiko were indeed very close, even if there was someone she could call a friend, another ga and not that was Keiko.

"Eh mendingan continue to chat outside aja yuk, now shopping first" continued Ana.

"Yuk, I really miss you Na, all you want to hear about my future daughter-in-law" Keiko replied as she pulled Silvana's hand for her to hold.

30 Minutes later, Silvana and Keiko are now outside the supermarket and looking for a cafe in the mall to chat. After finding it they immediately sat down and ordered a drink.

"I was going to play Malem to your house Na" explained Keiko.

"Seriously this ?" exchange Silvana, while drinking tea pull that just delivered the waiter cafe.

"Yes already miss the same gudeg made by his real mother hahaha" Keiko replied with a small laugh towards Nesya.

"You can go to the drug store, I want to go to the drug store for a while...Kei's mother lives first" Nesya rushes to the drugstore, as her vitamins and heart medicine are running out so she thinks about making up for it at the drugstore.

"Yes ma'am" Silvana replied, while Keiko simply nodded with a sweet smile at her best friend's mother.

They both looked towards Nesya who still looked fresh in shape, then again enjoyed their drinks that were already available at the table.

"Mom is getting younger, huh Na? hahaha" exclaimed Keiko as she scooped her ice cendol.

"Hahaha yes, you know the mother is more active. When did you get back from Umroh Kei?"

"Just 3 days ago"

Silvana was just a spirit, and after asking how Keiko experience during worship there, then how she felt while there. Silvana asked him with great enthusiasm, because indeed he had never gone umrah.

Keiko was no less eager to tell about what happened during worship there. After he finished talking about his umrah, Keiko immediately asked something that made him confused for several days.

"Emang why Kei?. There is nothing strange, just ordinary" Silvana replied casually, because when Reiki came to his house there was no strange movement from Reiki.

"Hmmm time anyway?. He keeps making me the same as Satyo for Claudia's bed"

"Who can you?, he said Iki want to wait for Claudi to pass first" Silvana was shocked to hear what Keiko said, to his knowledge Reiki was not a plan person, not a plan, there must be a strong reason for Reiki to change his decision. Reiki's decision was that she wanted to marry Claudia after she finished school, so why changed right after she returned from Silvana's house.

"Well, this is also I want to play to your house because you want to discuss it first with you, it's not good to play nyelonong aja to your house gaadarin first, know know lamar Claudia" obviously Keiko.

"I don't know Kei, just if Reiki is serious about applying to Claudia, you have to ask Zen first" When applying for a girl, of course, there must be information to both parents, he said, although Silvana does not want to meet her ex-husband, she understands this is not something she can decide with Bram.

"I've called Zen, he said next week he was going to Indonesia. You know Na yet?" obviously Keiko.

Silvana who was holding her glass directly lowered her head, her ex-husband wanted to come to Indonesia after more than 10 years never returned.

"Ga knows Kei, I've broken contact with him" explained Silvana trying to face as calm as possible.

"Sorry Na, I think you've started connecting with Zen again. You see, from what I've heard, before you got married, you sent Claudia to Singapore where Galina's aunt was, right?"

"Yes I sent Claudia to Singapore, but it was not because I let Zen meet Claudia" Silvana explained.

After the divorce with Zen, Silvana really closed the door of her heart she did not want to hear anything about her ex-husband, which obviously she also closed the door to his communication with the ex. Silvana has not been able to accept what happened after 8 years of marriage.

"I know you are very hurt with Zen, but you can't keep gini Na. Awayin Claudia from her father will even make Claudia more willing to go from you, try looserin aja deh, justin Claudia meet Zen, let's just for a moment"

Keiko knew exactly the wounds of his best friend's life, she also knew how Silvana's life story, from her marriage stay by Bram, to Zen who came to Silvana's life. No one was left behind, because Silvana never missed telling Keiko, especially after Aini left home and lived with Bram, there was a time when Silvana lived in an apartment owned by Keiko who already had Reiki. Satyo, Keiko's husband, tells Silvana to stay with Keiko in the apartment, as she rarely goes home. So if Satyo comes home, Silvana stays alone in her best friend's apartment.

"Key, I'm scared. My only treasure in the world is Claudia, I only have her. If he left me too, I don't know if I can still live" Silvana exclaimed anxiously, a few tears spilling. She never imagined a life without her daughter.

"I understand Na, yaudah gini aja, try to think slowly deh my advice earlier. But you must know, inevitably Claudia must meet her father, how also she is a daughter, if marriage needs a guardian" explained Keiko while holding the hand of her best friend.

"Uhm yes Kei." said Silvana while wiping her tears with a tissue.

"Next week will Zen come, we meet only five how?"

"Later malem I told you, Kei, I told you about my husband"

"OKs. Later at 7 am I go to the house, Na. I must go back first, salamin same mother yes" said Keiko while looking at her cellphone, it turns out she has been on the phone several times by Satyo.

"Ready ready, I wait ya.." exclaimed Ana, they embraced while saying goodbye to each other.

"Yes Na.yah first yes..."

"Ati ati Kei" Silvana exclaimed as she waved her hand.

What Keiko said seemed to affect Silvana. He thought about everything seriously, it was impossible for Claudia not to meet his father for life. There will be a time when Claudia needs her father. But Ana was still hesitant, with what she should do.

When he doubted like this only Bram could be the place to ask, he immediately contacted Bram.

"Hello Mas.gak, I want to ask you can meet me at the cafe deket your office ga, there's something I have to say important.yes I've been there now, ok mas" Silvana hung up on him.
