PASUTRI (On Love & Happiness)

CHAPTER 38

Zahra played with Nadeo at the park not far from the restaurant. The park is also often where Tina and Zahra sit together just chatting or joking. Even the park is also often the place where Zahra muses while being hit by problems.

Santoso who was silent watched the two smiled. The forbidden feeling was still at home in his heart made Santoso forget his wife who was always busy but never forgot to serve him well. Sometimes they argue over something trivial.

“Kak Zahra know why dad rarely gives us time to play like this?” Nadeo asked as soon as they took shelter under a shady tree.

Zahra smiled and shook her head in response.

“Are you angry with brother Zahra?”

“So I thought maybe because big brother is busy so your dad doesn't allow us to play.”

“Yeah?” Nadeo stared doubtfully at Zahra. The boy was doubtful of what Zahra had said.

“Deo !!”

Zahra and Nadeo turned to hear someone's cry from their right. Nadeo smiled to find the mother not far from him.

“It looks like our play time is up Nadeo.” Zahra smiled.

Nadeo nodded his head in agreement. The mother came to get him home.

“I will often persuade dad so that we can play together kak.” The smile of that handsome boy.

Zahra just laughed. Whether Santoso always banned him with Nadeo, Zahra himself did not know.

“Come to your mother Nadeo.”

“OK..”

Zahra holding Nadeo's hand approached the beautiful lady in deep blue who was waiting for Nadeo.

“Zahra, thank you for taking care of my Deo. I'll tell Nadeo's father to give you more bonuses this month.”

Zahra just smiled. The wife of his boss was very kind.

Elsewhere, precisely in the luxurious residence of the two parents of Faza, Faza had just arrived with his motorcycle. Faza took off his helmet then got off his bike and stepped slowly towards the main door of his parents' house. Faza hopes his mama doesn't say anything more about the bad Zahra.

“Bi.”

The aged housekeeper turned his head when he heard Faza's voice.

“Eh aden..”

Faza smiled as aunt approached him.

“Where is bi?” Ask Faza slowly.

“Mother is on top of den. This was again nyulam. Aden want me to make coffee?”

Faza shook his head.

“Let's just bi. I went to mama first yes.”

“Iya den.”

Faza immediately passed from before aunt and rode on the second floor where his mama was. Right, Faza found his mother in the family room on the second floor of the house and was embroidery.

Faza stepped closer to Sinta who had yet to notice his presence.

“Mah.”

Sinta turned her attention to hearing Faza's voice. His smile expanded and Faza was standing next to the sofa he was sitting on.

“Faza.” Sinta put aside the activity of embroidering him and put him on the table then immediately rose up and hugged his eldest son.

Faza smiled and immediately returned the embrace of the mama.

“Mamah kangen so much with you son.” Sinta said behind Faza's back.

“Ya.. Faza also misses mamah.”

Sinta let go of her embrace then gently hit Faza's shoulder.

“No need to say kangen same mamah if you still prefer that woman than mamah.” His protest made Faza smile clumsily.

“Fadly where mah?”

“Fadly again there is work out of town. Said he'd be hummed for five days.”

“Oh yes? when does he leave.”

“After he left.”

Faza nodded his head. His sister was very disciplined as well. Fadly is also very creative. No wonder Fadly can be a reliable architect who always manages to make anyone amazed by his work. Even his parents' second home was also Fadly who designed it while still sitting on the primary school bench.

“You've had lunch son?” Ask Sinta for attention.

“But mah.. Faza deliberately quickly came here so that he could have lunch together with mamah.”

Sinta smiled hearing that.

“Maybe this one is a soul mate.”

Faza frowned confusedly.

“Meanour name?”

“Ah no. Let's go to the dinner table now. Soon someone will come and you will be very surprised.”

Faza narrowed his eyes, beginning to be suspicious of the words that came from his mamah lips.

“Come..”

Sinta rolled in Faza's arms and pulled Faza's arm slowly to invite him to come back down. The woman looked very happy and happy today. And it was a success to make Faza ask questions.

“What cooks are you?” Ask Faza as soon as they get to the dinner table.

“Sit baby. Today I am not cooking. Because someone's been cooking for both of us.” Sinta Smile.

Faza was even more confused to see Sinta who was so excited this afternoon.

“What does aunt cook for us mah?”

“Iisshh.. This is not a dear ripe aunt. But..”

“Tante..”

Loly's soft voice managed to make Faza also Sinta turn his head. Faza knew now who that someone meant by his mama. At that time Faza regretted that he had obeyed his mother's will to come this afternoon.

“The special person has arrived.” Bisik Sinta smiled happily at Faza who looked unconcerned with the arrival of Loly.

“We've been waiting for your arrival baby. Come.”

Loly smiled at Sinta's words. Loly then stepped closer to Sinta and Faza with a food challenge in his right hand.

“Sorry already made aunt and you waited a long time mas.”

Faza remained silent as Loly placed his hand on the table.

“You know Loly, someone postponed lunch to be able to eat with us.”

Sinta teased Faza who was even clucking feeling very upset.

“Oh yes? Who's aunt?” Loly asked smiling as if she did not know. Though in his heart Loly was very happy because he knew who it was.

“Tuh.. who is ready to sit while holding an empty plate.” Sinta answered with a soft laugh.

Loly laughed. Loly had indeed long harbored a taste for Faza. And when Sinta and her mother wanted to match her to Faza, Loly was very happy.

“Sorry, the road was a little jammed. I'll prepare lunch for you soon.” Loly's smile looked at Faza.

Faza refused to answer. Faza was eager to get up and pass right then and there. Lazy if you have to get close to Loly.

“Emm.. Aunt, I can be kitcheny right?”

“Oh of course dear. Let aunt help prepare.”

After Loly and Sinta arranged the dishes on the table, Faza just stared at him. Faza did not feel tempted by the delicious dishes in front of him.

“Loh mas, why do you only eat rice with crackers anyway? You don't want to take my cooking?”

Loly stared confused at Faza who only ate rice and crackers without intending to take the side dishes and vegetables that Loly had deliberately brought from home for them.

“I again can not eat fatty foods Loly.” Faza replied lightly.
