S2: Almost Only

Ciya and Mother Jihan have been preparing to make a cake. Their plan would only make two for fear of most.

“Mother, let two be enough huh?” ask the girl. Her tongue had already tasted how delicious cake was to her Mother, so she asked her fear of only making two would be lacking.

“Two hours, afraid not to run out,” he replied.

“But Ciya is sure to run out, or even less,” he replied.

“Why is that sure?” kekeh Mother as if her daughter was a fortune teller alone could say with confidence.

“Soalnya cake made by Mother is delicious no match, so Ciya is sure that this will run out,” he explained.

“You may say good, but we don't know if your Daddy likes it or doesn't. Easy later if less we make again,” he explained.

“Ya already.” They started mixing all the existing materials with the provisions. Ciya who initially wanted to help turned out to only see or do small things.

“He wants to help Mother,” said Mother Jihan who saw Ciya even continue to pay attention to her.

“Ciya is afraid of being wrong, Bun. Later if the cake so not good how?”

“Gak. It must be delicious, there will also be Mother who sees you. Later Mommy ajarin.” Ciya nodded and started to come down to help her Mother.

Now he's working on it with instructions from Mother Jihan. Stage by stage they have passed and now their cake is ready to enter the oven.

“Oke we wait for forty to fifty minutes yes.” Ciya looked at her watch and recalled the time when the brand put the dough in the oven.

During that wait, they just went back to talking. The five years they missed without each other made their stories very heaped.

“How are you there? Excited to study there?” ask Mother Jihan.

“Seru Bun's. Ciya there if departing sometimes escorted Daddy, but the return must take a bus or train. Sometimes Ciya and Javier also like to walk first around campus,” he explained.

“Mother here likes to go where?” ask Ciya.

“Gak. Mother at home, most if again bosen Mother go shopping. Sometimes there is also a cake message, Mommy makes, rich gthatu, no routine activities,” he replied.

“Sorry yes, because Ciya no Mommy so alone,” great-grandchild.

“What are you talking about? Instead, Mother is happy because by bringing you there, you can be fully healed like now. Mother is relieved to see,” replied Mother Jihan.

“Mother, if Ciya meets Kak Kenji about he will react rich how?” tanyanya. In fact, until now he had no intention to meet the man.

“He will be very happy because he knows you are still here. All this time you know, the rich feeling he sam you are still the same. Even until now he has not known other women with Mother,” he explained.

Hearing the mother's explanation made Ciya sculpt. Is that really so? Would it be okay if they met?

“Ciya hope Kak Kenji's feelings soon change with Ciya. Ciya just wants Kenji's sister to be Ciya's sister. She was so good Bun, as long as Ciya was sick, she always supported Ciya,”.

There was guilt in his heart because he couldn't return the feelings of that one man. But how else because the feeling can not be forced.

“May Mother ask something to you?” ask Mother Jihan. He was actually very hesitant to ask this.

“Bby dong. Mommy wants to ask what?” tanyakanya.

Long time did not answer to make Mother Jihan sensitive and finally she returned to sound. “Ah sorry, Mommy should not discuss this. lupain aja,” he said sorry to have raised a very sensitive topic of conversation for Ciya.

“Gak Bun, it's okay, Ciya answer now. Ciya also does not know how Ciya feels now Bun. Ciya. Ciya's brain said that Ciya should not think of him anymore, Ciya should forget him. But Ciya's heart is not, Bun,” Ciya replied.

The mother understood, it meant that there was still a sense in her daughter's heart towards Axel. The man who always hurt his daughter. 

“Mother. Mother won't force you because you're a big girl. You know what is best for yourself.”

Ciya nodded in resignation. He also doesn't know what to do after this. All he knows is that he doesn't want to see Axel yet. He was not ready with everything, let alone rejection. He was not ready to be rejected for the umpteenth time.

The sound of the oven indicates if their cake has matured. Buda Jihan moved up and opened the oven. Instantly the sweet fragrance from the cake burst through their sense of smell.

“This is definitely delicious. I'm sure they'll like it. But Ciya hopes they will not be too happy, let Ciya aja who finished everything,” he said. She misses the cake made by her mother.

“Hus, that's how it goes. If they do not like it, it means that Mother's cake is not good dong,” he said which makes Ciya can only chuckle.

Mother Jihan lifted her cake and immediately served it. He would cut the cake, but had to wait until it was cold.

“Udah done?” ask Ciya.

“Udah, what else do you want?” ask Mother.

“Kok fast huh?”

“If you are usually rich Mother emang it feels so fast because it does not fail and does not need to be repeated.”

Ciya nodded in understanding after this it seemed like he should really learn to make cakes on his Mother.

“Javier, Mommy and Daddy you want to come here no?” ask Mother.

“Don't know, they didn't say they wanted to come here.”

“If they do not want to come here, then let Mother who brought this to their home,” he continued.

“Later Ciya try calling them first ya.”

Ciya passed to his room. Coincidentally his phone is there. Meanwhile Mother Jihan tidied up their cooking marks.

Suddenly the bell rings indicating if there are guests in front. Mother Jihan quickly opened the door and how surprised she was to see who was coming.

“Mother, Ken brought something,” he said while lifting the food he brought. The man went into the house, into the kitchen more precisely to present it.

Meanwhile, Mother Jihan was still standing in her place because she was too surprised. Not wanting everything to go awry, she finally caught up with Kenji.

“B-carry a-what are you?” ask the mother stammering.

Ciya's bedroom door opens, giving Kenji's attention.
