Not a Widow

THE BONUS CHAPTER 6

Today at the dinner table, Syafira felt lost because there was no longer a figure of riya who helped her cook or prepare food. Syafira went back to doing everything herself.

Azka and Azkia were playing with Alfon. While his parents ate. Syafira took food for her husband and then also served her father-in-law. "This is the food"

Mahendra smiled and then they ate his food without making a sound. Keenan looked towards the slightly dreamy Syafira. He knew Syafira was lonely because Riya was no longer here.

Keenan held Syafira's hand and linked it to her finger. Shafira was flabbergasted and looked at Keenan. "Eat, don't think. Mothers also often come here. Alfon needed it so much"

Syafira nodded, she would eat her food but her hands were still held by Keenan. "I want to eat" he whispered in Keenan's ear. "You want to eat? Open your mouth I'm bribing"

"But there's papa, ashamed to know Mas" Keenan doesn't care. He took a spoonful of rice and side dishes. "Let's open your mouth" Syafira shook her head slowly. He felt ashamed that there was Mahendra in front of him.

"Eat before I bribe my mouth in front of my father" Mahendra stared at his son and daughter-in-law in turn. He chuckled softly at Keenan who kept wanting to feed him food but Syafira refused.

"Eat it, son, let's just say papa doesn't exist" Syafira smiled awkwardly at Mahendra and looked at Keenan cynically. Keenan laughed softly. Cupp, he kissed her. When Syafira will protest Keenan hastily put his food into the mouth of Syafira.

'Mhasss kkkookk jhaat bngaatt anyway" Syafira said. His mouth could not speak perfectly as it was full of food. Syafira hates Keenan. "Sorry baby, let's eat again."

Though the food in his mouth was not finished yet Keenan even wanted to bribe him again. Immediately Syafira took his spoon and fed it to Keenan. "Replacement"

Mahendra being the mosquito repellent among them, he just ate his food quietly without caring for the two. "When are you going to Korea?" Ask Mahendra.

Keenan and Syafira did plan to go to Korea, they will go on a pilgrimage to Keysa's tomb. For a long time they did not come to court. "3 days Pa, Keenan still have a lot of work in the office"

Mahendra nodded. "Then what about the papa company you live in, is everything okay?" Ask Mahendra. "Everything is safe, Keenan always monitors papa's company. Sometimes Keenan also comes there to check directly"

"Papa is proud of you, you can run two companies at once. Papa's sure that your mom's still alive she'll be proud of you, too."

"Your mama used to say the same papa. One day Keenan will be a successful person, he will be respected by the community and respected by everyone. Your mom said that when you were 7 years old. And now it's proven, your mother's words have come true."

Keenan was silent for a moment. "Mama really said it was pa?" Ask her with a clean. Mahendra nodded. "From you little Mama you are sure that later when you grow up you will become a successful and good person"

"At that time Papa did not believe your mother's words. Because according to papa god and destiny will lead you to his path. But your mama's still cool.

[FLASBACK]

Mahendra and Mela sit in the garden behind their house while watching the little Keenan playing in a car. As a child, Keenan was not very good at learning. When all his friends got good grades, only Keenan himself dropped his grades.

Keenan was ridiculed by all his friends for his value of only 0. Keenan was still in elementary school. Keenan cried in his room because he was fooled by all his friends.

Mela knocked on Keenan's room door. "Darling, eat first yuk. Mama has lunch ready for you." "No Ma, stupid Keenan. Keenan doesn't want to eat"

Hearing that, Mela opened the door to Keenan's room and went straight inside.

Mela looked at Keenan who was crying. Mela sat on the edge of Keenan's bed. He stroked the son's head just like that. "Keenan why? How could it cry" asked Mela softly.

Keenan raised his head and looked at his mother's face. The rest of the tears were still clearly visible in his eyes. "Ma, is it true that Keenan is a stupid kid?"

"Why did you say that? Let's tell mama" Keenan a little bit. "So at school Keenan's friends got all good grades. Keenan is the only one whose value is zero. They say Keenan is stupid because he always gets a 0. Zero is not high, is it?"

Mela's glassy eyes heard Keenan say that. Indeed from childhood Keenan is very difficult to catch the lesson. It was all because of Keenan's brain that had not been able to accept everything. Even Mela once took Keenan and checked him into the hospital. The doctor just said that if Keenan can't catch something quickly, he has to take a long process. Plus Keenan has dyslexia (disorders in the learning process such as difficulty reading, spelling and writing)

Indeed Keenan is not good at reading and writing which is why the value is always 0. But surprisingly Keenan is very good with counting. But at the time of the math lesson, Keenan could not answer it.

"Dear, my son is not stupid. Keenan is the smartest in school. Don't miss the 0, kid. That value is meaningless in the eyes of God. The important thing is that Keenan always pray with God, surely later Keenan can get good value"

"But Keenan was ashamed Ma, the teacher told Keenan to read but Keenan could not. Everyone laughed at Keenan. Keenan doesn't want to go to school anymore, Keenan wants to be at home. They're all evil" little Keenan came back crying.

Mela hugged Keenan tightly, her tears coming down and hitting Keenan's face. "You have to stay in school, baby, requires compulsory education. Mama believes that someday Mama's son can be a successful person. Keenan will be respected by the community and respected by everyone. Trust me, Mama, you can."

"Don't mind your friend laughing at you? They were just envious of not being able to get a 0 like that. The proof in class is only Keenan who gets a 0, that means Keenan is special. Keenan is different from others"

Keenan raised his head and looked at Mela's face. Then her hand wiped Mela's tears. "Don't cry Ma, Keenan promises to turn your tears into pearls. Keenan dear Mama"

Mahendra peeked at them from behind it, his heart also saddened. His son is different from other children. Keenan has difficulty learning so that he can not get good grades or understand the lessons.

But with every Class increase, Keenan gets the highest score. Somehow he got the perfect score. Keenan ran from outside and immediately entered the house. Keenan yelled for Mela. Eventually Mela came out of the kitchen.

"What's up, son?" Keenan took his report with joy. "Keenan can score high Ma, everything there is 0" he said with his song.

Mela opened Keenan's report and was shocked to see Keenan. Mela shut her mouth in disbelief. All Keenan values can be 100. Mela threw herself down in front of Keenan.

"This was Keenan's promise back then, Keenan turned mama's tears into pearls. And that pearl is Keenan's value. They embrace each other. It's only fitting that Keenan always locked his room every night, it turns out he studied alone.

And since then the stupid Keenan was no more, there was only Keenan with a genius brain. All teacher Keenan's astonished. Even Keenan is also good at reading, writing and counting.

[Flow Off]

Keenan listened to all his stories from Mahendra. Yes, Keenan remembers everything. It was Mela who always patiently taught Keenan even though Keenan did not understand what Mela taught

"Practice your Mom to your child even if she's gone. You can send her a prayer. Papa is sure your mother is waiting for your prayers in nature there"

Keenan nodded weakly. The secret behind her success is her own mother. That's why Keenan was never arrogant about what he had. Because he used to be a fool, which his neighbor said he was brain-poor.

Keenan was once insulted by his neighbors. When he joined Mela to buy vegetables at the vegetable shop in front of her house. "Bu Mela is not ashamed of having a child like Keenan, it's stupid brain poor again"

Keenan remembered everything, he also still remembered the name of the neighbor who once insulted him like that. Keenan met the neighbor again. And he said. "Is this Keenan? now it's successful, it's rich, handsome again"

Keenan only responded with a smile. "Yes, I'm Keenan. The child who was once brain-poor insulted by the mother" then the neighbor fell silent.

Syafira stroked her husband's shoulder, she did not expect Keenan who she thought her life was perfect turned out to experience something like this.

"Papa's done eating, Papa wants to take your children and Alfon to the playground. Papa promised them. Then papa's gone?"

"Yes pa" Keenan replied. Then Mahendra left with his grandson and son away. At the dinner table there are Keenan and Syafira. "I didn't think you used to be like that"

Keenan smiled faintly. "Everybody has a period of shame. Be it the good old days or the bad." Shafira hugged her husband from the side. He rested his head on the chest of Keenan's field.

"I salute you, Mama must be really proud of you. Before we go to Korea we go to mama's grave first huh? I'm sure Mas wants to talk to Mama after remembering all this"

Keenan stroked Syafira's hair and kissed her at a glance. "Yes, we're going there."

Elsewhere, Mahendra and the three cute children were already on the playground. Azka and Azkiah played with each other horse. While Alfon he just sat on the swing. Mahendra decided to sit next to Alfon while watching his two grandchildren.

"Pa, afon kangen ama." (Pa, Alfon kangen Mama) Mahendra turned his head and lifted Alfon to sit on his lap. "Let's Alfon see Mama"

Alfon shook his head slowly. "Give me that, fire and Afon cendili." (Not the Mama, but Mama Alfon himself) Alfon did know that Riya was not his biological mother. Riya said that to Alfon.

Riya is afraid that Alfon has forgotten the figure of his birth mother who has given birth to him in the world. Mahendra looked at his son sadly. "But Alfon can not meet Mama, mama is again in heaven as an angel. So Mama can't find Alfon anymore"

"Is there any amazement? Other ain ama hisam. Alo afon is just unya papa" (But they do have a Mama? They play with their mama. If Alfon only had papa doang)

Azkiah and Azkiah descended from their horses. The two of them walked towards Alfon who was still sitting on the swing with Mahendra. "Om Alfon do not be sad dong, it's not that Alfon still has papa same brother. Kia's father is her brother Om Alfon"

Mahendra smiled at their words. "Yes Om, look over there. They only have mom and dad doang. But there is no sister like Alfon. While Om Alfon has a sister"

"Api akak nya om already dede, om kan asih small.  " (But his brother was already big, Om was still a child) Alfon called himself om when talking to the twins. It was taught by Riya. Riya's role is very important for Alfon.

"Ndak papa is important om have a sister. Is it opa?" Azkia looked at Mahendra with her innocent gaze. Mahendra nodded. "What they say is true, son, you still have a brother. You should also be thankful for having a sister. Alfon, love you, same brother?" Tabya Mahendra's.

"Yes papa, dear Afon." (Yes papa, Alphon dear) Azka and Azkia are happy because they managed to entertain his little Om.

Rangga and Nazwa are currently on their honeymoon. Rangga had prepared plane tickets far away so they just left. Rangga and Nazwa are on their honeymoon in France.

"Honey, where are you going?" Ask Rangga to Nazwa. They had just spent their time looking at the view of the eiffel tower.

"When we go to the Louvre museum, I really want to go there. Can you, baby?" Nazwa looked at Rangga with a pleading gaze. Rangga nodded with a smile. "What the hell's wrong with you, let's go"

Then Rangga and Nazwa immediately went to the place they wanted to go. They left in a private car owned by Nazwa's father. Their parents had everything ready.

"Where are you going sir?" Ask the driver who is preparing to deliver them. Their driver is from Indonesia so Rangga does not need to use French anymore.

"To the louvre museum, sir, do you know where it is?" The driver nodded. "Then I will take you there" on the way, Rangga pulled Nazwa's head and leaned against his chest.

"Where else is France going to go?  In accordance with my promise at that time. I'll take you on a honeymoon to 5 countries. So you think about it from now on. Two more days we're out of this country"

"I've thought about it before. I want to go to london, japan, hong korea and finally. I want to visit those 4 countries after this"

"All right, we're going there"

1 Hour later they arrived at their destination. Rangga and Nazwa got out of the car and left their car with the driver. Rangga held Nazwa's hand so as not to be separated from him.

Because at that time the louvre museum was very crowded. There are some people from abroad who also come to visit him.

"This is beyond my expectations, it turns out that the louvre museum is very beautiful" Nazwa said while observing the museum from outside. Rangga nodded in agreement. "Let's go in"

The Louvre is the most famous museum in Paris, with a large glass pyramid at the front. The second largest art museum in the world has more than 35,000 works of art, one of the most famous paintings in the world, Mona Lisa paintings. All tour packages to the City of Paris definitely offers this popular destination.

Rangga and Nazwa saw a lot of art in it. Nazwa was so impressed by what he saw inside. Nazwa stared at the paintings that were there.

"The painting is very good, I really like Leonardo da vinci's painting." Nazwa. "You even keep a picture of Leonardo Da vinci on your phone right?" Ask Rangga.

Nazwa. "Everything about Leonardo and Vinci I like it a lot" Rangga nodded. Then they continued to look at the other artworks.
