Not a Widow

Mama

Today Mela is very happy, she can hold her two grandchildren and play with him. Plus the presence of Keenan and Syafira.

"Mama is very grateful to have a family like you, especially you Syafira. You're the best daughter-in-law my mom ever had. Since the beginning we met mama already know that you are a good child.I salute you Jeng, for successfully educating and raising Syafira well" said Mela as her eyes looked towards Syafira.

"I'm the one who salutes you more, look at Keenan. He is a good man for everyone. Keenan also received Syafira who was then again pregnant with someone else's child. Your son is amazing" Vienna replied.

Keenan only noticed the two men talking, though his ears were slightly reddened by Vienna's praise. Syafira took Mela's hand and held it.

"Ma, Shafira is grateful to Mama. Mama has received Syafira well. Mama didn't care about Syafira's status just yet. At first when Mas Keenan brought me to this house to be introduced as his lover, Syafira was scared. Syafira was afraid of my mother's reaction to Syafira. Syafira thinks mama won't like Syafira"

Syafira's eyes glazed with glass remembering all that. "But Syafira's thinking was wrong, instead Mama accepted Syafira sincerely. I am also Mama's son. Syafira also considers Mama like her own mother. Thank you Ma, Mama has allowed Mas Keenan to choose me as his companion.

Mela held Syafira's face while removing the drops of water that descended from Syafira's eyes. "You and Keenan are Mama's children. Mama loves you guys so much. Seeing those of you who live happily makes you happy too.

Keenan was moved by Mela's words. All this time Mela very rarely said such words of affection. Keenan approached Mela and sat down below her.

"Ma, Keenan loves Mama too. Sorry all this time Keenan always makes Mama difficult. Keenan often doesn't hear Mama's words." Keenan.

Mela turned to her son and stroked his hair. "Kanu never did anything wrong with Mama, son. You always make Mama proud."

"Let Keenan do something for Mama"

Keenan took Mela's leg and kissed her. Everyone in her heart cried to see a child kissing her own mother's feet.

Mahendra and Mela. Mahendra and Mela did not expect Keenan would do that. "Wake up baby" said Mela.

"Keenan still wants to kiss the paradise of Keenan Ma" Keenan said. In his heart he felt proud of himself. Although he used to be naughty but he never snapped or fought back at his mother.

Keenan raised his face and placed his head on Mela's lap. "Why the atmosphere so melow yes" said Mahendra trying to eliminate awkwardness.

Syafira smiled only. Her eyes were focused only on her current husband. Syafira had heard the Quotes Love a man who loves and respects his mother, his mother is loved let alone you who incidentally as a idol of his heart. A man who loves his mother will never hurt a woman.

"Well, take care of your health, Keenan doesn't want you to be sick. Especially now in my mom's belly there's Keenan's sister." Keenan said attentively.

Mela nodded with a smile. "This is my son sitting next to my mother" he said.

Keena said, he lifted his body and sat down beside Mela. Mela kissed her son's forehead gently then rubbed his hair. "You were as small as Azka and now you are 27 years old. Mama can't spoil you anymore." Her speech.

"But mama's love and prayers continue to accompany Keenan. So that it can make Keenan become what it is now. Without Mama, Keenan might not be anything in the world.

"Ma, happy mother's day"

Mahendra and Vienna frowned in confusion. Today is not mother's day but why Keenan said it.

"It's not my mother's day, son?"

"But to Keenan every day is mother's day."

Mela smiled

Today is the most historic day of Keenan and Mela's life. They both held each other's hearts together. 

Mahendra was happy to see his grown son and loved his mother very much. He even kissed his mother's feet

"Oh yes jeng to forget, this is me bringing fruits for you. Eaten yes, fruits are very good for your health and pregnancy" said Vienna

"Jeez jeng, do not bother to bring fruit" he said

"It's okay" replied Vienna.

Vienna's cell phone rings. Vienna walked away from them and picked up her phone. "Hello? You where? I just came home from out of town but you said" said a man from there.

"Sorry, it's me again at our besan house"

"Lho's? Why?" ask her.

"Jeng Mela just wanted to see the situation. This is also here there is Syafira the same Keenan" replied Vienna again.

"Yes already mending I followed you guys just there. Don't go anywhere, wait for me there."

"All right"

Vienna joined them again. "Who's phone from, ma'am?" ask Syafira. Vienna shakes "from your father, he says he wants to follow you here"

"Aren't you out of town, Mom?" ask Keenan. Vienna nodded then answered. "Dad just came home" Vienna's reply made Keenan nod in understanding.

Half an hour later, Tio had arrived at Mahendra and Mela's house. Tio went straight in without knocking on the door first. Because he's been here a lot to meet Mahendra.

"Tio, you just came?" Greet Mahendra and hug Tio for a bit. Tio returned his embrace then sat down next to Mahendra. "Yes, I just got back from out of town. Heard my wife was here so well I stopped by too."

"Where's your job at the office?'

Tio laughed then patted Mahendra on the shoulder. "My work is fine, I should have asked you. How's work? For 2 weeks you did not enter the office to take care of your pregnant wife" said Tio.

Everyone chuckled at Tio's words, including Mela. "Ah you know right, I have to look after the second heir first. First it was Keenan."

"Pa, we don't know what gender it is yet" Keenan said.

"Remain Keenan, even if he is a woman or a man. He still has to inherit the company from papa" said Mahendra.

"If if the prospective sister Keenan girl and do not want to continue the company papa because she has her own dream gimama? Will you force it" asked Keenan.

Mahendra was silent for a moment while thinking. "Papa will never impose papa's will, if he does not want to stay papa just give everything to you" said Mahendra. Keenan just rolled his eyeballs. Thought to hold a kayak company holding a rock.

"Have you not argued with the word supposing, we better have lunch together." Mela Proposal.

"By the way, Syafira help ya Ma" said Syafira offered himself because from now on he was bored just to keep quiet, while the two twins could not be invited to play and chat because of sleep.

"Come on, let's go to the kitchen. The material is also a lot in the refrigerator" said Mela. "Alright, it's been a long time since we've collaborated on cuisine. So let's do it today"

Mela chuckled then nodded. The men who were there with the two babies near them. Tio looked at Keenan's face in wonder as it looked swollen.

"Your face why is it so swollen Keenan?"

Keenan touched his own face. "Maybe it's the effect of tears" he replied. Mahendra was chuckling. "He was crying on his mother's lap" Mahendra said.

"Wow, really. It is rare for a man who has married to cry because of his mother"

"My son is a rare species, maybe before going here he watched ftv the doom of an ungodly child on his biological mother" he replied at the end of the sentence.

"Not so too yah, Keenan is just moved by Mama. Mama who has been saying Keenan sucks turns out to be affectionate with Keenan." The answer.

"Honor your parents, son, that's the key to your happiness in the world."

Meanwhile in the kitchen. "We cook asem vegetables, Balado chicken, and home-style spaghetti. You guys can?" ask Mela. Syafira and Vienna.

Syafira just chuckled. "Well then let's just cook this, oh yeah kid, please get the pot over there. Mama wants to cut the chicken first" said Mela.

"Yes Mah"

"I cooked the vegetables well" said Vienna. Mela nodded while cutting her chicken into small pieces. While Syafira he took his pot then handed it to him Oada Nela.

"This is Mama cutting her chicken. You wash it clean" he said while giving the chicken he had cut to Syafira.

"Yes Mah"

"Jeng, need some help?" Tanua Mela in Vienna. Vienna looked at him for a while then continued his work again. "No need to be jeng, cooking vegetables is just for a moment" he replied.

"Yes already then I want to continue cooking his balado chicken"

.

.

An hour later, all the food was cooked. It's time for them to taste the food before they are taken to the table.

"Where are the vegetables?" ask Vienna. Mela blew it for a while before trying it. He nodded his head while saying. "Whatever you make is always delicious, the salt is just right and not salty" he continued.

"Thank God then.'

"Syafira helped bring the food, about the tableware Syafira had prepared everything at the dining table" Syafira said.

"Well, let's bring it together."

After that they serve it on the table while arranging the location of the plate for each person. Once everything was ready Mela called them all to the dining table for lunch.

Tio and Mahendra immediately approached them, as his stomach was already starving from earlier. Then Keenan came to follow with the carrying of his two children with a stroller. Keenan was unwilling to leave them, even though they were sleeping.

"By heart, encourage them later they wake up" Syafira said. Keenan nodded his head then led them to the temple chair he was eating.

"The twins are still sleeping, so let's eat first" Vienna said.

They both nodded then sat in their seats. The women stood alternately to get food for her husband. Started by Mela.

"So this is enough Pa?" Ask her.

"Add a little bit more, I'm really hungry today" Mela just shook her head then added rice to Mahendra. "Papa can pick his own side dish"

Although Vienna. "You want to use the sauce, don't you?" Vienna took her husband. "Pake aja but not much, the sauce should be a lot, the vegetables should be a lot"

Syafira gave a small laugh hearing Tio's words spinning around. "It's not much, but it's all got to be a lot" Vienna scolded Tio. Makes Tio innocent.

After her parents had served her husbands, this time it was her turn. With a portion that usually Syafira take rice for later. "Lauknya Mas?"

"Chicken balado same vegetable only. Eh addin spaghetti also to be complete." Syafira patiently fulfilled all of Keenan's requests. Only then did he give it to Keenan.

"So, the sauce is still hot." Her speech.

Keenan nodded, after which Syafira prepared food for herself. "Before eating, let's read the prayer first" Mahendra said.

"Keenan lead his prayer" added Vienna. Keenan immediately raised his hands and began to pray. "Allahumma baariklana fiima razaqtana wa qina adzabannar, amen" after reciting the prayer they began to eat their food.

No one makes a sound in the middle of eating their food, everything just stands still. There was only the sound of the clanking of spoons and forks.

A few minutes in silence, they finally finished with their meal.

Syafira stood up and shared the tissue for them and after they finished eating and cleaned up the dirty dishes, they returned to the living room to chat.

Elsewhere, Reno and all his friends were on the circuit where they used to race. The plan today is to race to hone their skills that have not been used for a long time.

"Remember, this is just a match between Lavenzi. So don't be too ambitious to win. But try to balance each other" said Eka who guides them all.

"Yes Bang, so later we can choose to match who or determined equally brother" asked one of them.

"The gue is erratic" said Eka again.

"Okay Bang, then let's start now"

"Okay for team 1, Reno with Dito, then team 2, Kevan with Rangga, and team 3. Azriel and Farhan" Eka gave a briefing to all of them. Today he took his time to train all of his younger siblings.

"Now for team 1 you get ready at the starting line. Use the helmet properly. Remember, this game is not for winning. But to measure your abilities that have not been used for a long time. Into Lavenzi's slogan, don't win to lose but lose to win. You gotit?"

"Understand the bang" they answered simultaneously.

"And for other junior juniors. I will also retrain you. But not now. Because the time will not be enough. They all nodded in understanding.

Then Eka turned her eyes to Dito and Reno who were now on the starting line. "On the count of three, you have to go immediately" said Eka.

A Lavenzi junior who was assigned to count forward a few steps. Then he raised his hand as if he were counting.

"5..4..3..2..1 Start"

Reno drove his motorbike quickly and split the streets, as well as dito Eagle eyes remain focused on staring at the road. They are equally strong. Their motors are side by side. Reno strives to go ahead and get ahead of Reno.

Brummmm but unfortunately in the middle of the road Reno motorbike arrived dead. "Astaghfirullah, I forgot the gas tank" he said in his heart. Reno is now far behind.

Dito is already close to the finish line, in a few seconds maybe he will win. But before that. "Kringg kringg kringg" someone who was riding a bicycle first crucified him and arrived at the finish line.

Dito doesn't know who it is, and why he's here. The person who used the bike was Reno, when he knew his bike could not be invited to race, he borrowed the bike to the people around him.

"Reno, how do you use a bike? Keep Lo can beat Dito who uses a motorcycle" astonished all his friends. Just imagine, Reno uses a bicycle but he also wears a helmet on his head, Reno pedals his bike quickly. His feet never seemed to be sore to keep pedaling.

In the distance Reno saw Dito who began to casually advance his motorbike. Maybe Dito thinks Reno is far behind. Reno tried her hardest to get ahead of Dito. And here's the result.

Dito looked at Reno in amazement. Eka applauded Reno's victory. "Reno, now your ability is not only in the field of motors. But also on a mini bike. I am proud of you"

"Hehe thank you bang"

"Where does Ren go?"

"Oh, my bike I live on. The gas is out."

"Ck, hand over"

"Okay, now it's team 2's turn after that bsru tum 3

An hour later, Eka was done driving them. It was late in the afternoon, they decided to go to their homes.
