The Love Rhyme of Kawa

SCK 41: I'll prove it

In the midst of his busyness to become the new leader, Kawa who was asked to come to see Mr. Latif also immediately departed accompanied by Mr. Liun.

"What can you promise Zahra?" ask Mr. Latif to Kawa. The man who had proposed to his daughter looked dapper in his suit.

"I can't promise anything to Zahra, I'll prove if Zahra is happy with me" Kawa replied steadily.

Mr. Latif looked at the young man, his heart still half-heartedly taking off Zahra for the rich man.

"I never thought it would be like this"

"I'm sorry" said Kawa.

"Even your family is very influential in this country, this is what I fear. My family is just a big family". The news circulating in the media lately is quite disturbing Mr. Latif. Many neighbors congratulate him, they will be a besan of the rich people in the city. Mr. Latif shook his head. He and his family do not want to be labeled as a family matre.

Kawa looked at the old man, his face still shrinking the burden felt.

"Maybe it was Airin's life story that made me like this" it was still a burden on his mind.

"I won't make the same story to Zahra" Kawa chuckled with her way of thinking. There was no way he would retreat just because of social status or past stories. Kawa is preparing to change the way Mr. Latif looks at his family. Kawa, who since adolescence has known the love story of Papa and her mother increasingly realize that there is no social status that deserves to be debated. "I love Zahra, I love her for who she is" Kawa added.

Mr. Latif looked towards Kawa, then looked down. One of the things Mr. Latif did was match Zahra in the past. It was done so that Zahra get the right husband according to him.

"If anything happens with Zahra, you will face me directly" muttered Mr. Latif. Kawa was undaunted by what Mr. Latif said. Kawa realized, if what was done by the old man was as a form of love for his daughter.

"I'm ready to accept any consequences if that happens" Kawa said.

"I leave Zahra to you, love her"

Kawa was relieved, finally the famous fierce and stubborn Mr. Latif gave his full blessing after knowing the background of the Kawa family. Kawa sat behind Mr. Liun who was driving. Kawa took a bottle of mineral water and opened the seal, then she sipped the water slowly. Today he only met with Mr. Latif, Kawa did not have time to meet Zahra who was working, coincidentally there was a trip out of town with his students.

"Go to the office, sir?" ask Mr. Liun.

"We turn left sir" said Kawa. Mr. Liun also obeyed what Kawa said. "Stop" said Kawa, the car stopped right in front of a stall. Memories of Kawa. Kawa got out of the car.

Seen several pairs of eyes looking at her, Kawa sat on a long wooden bench.

"What order is den?" asked Mak Irah who seemed to not recognize Kawa.

"Mak's usual" Kawa replied as she looked at Mak Irah. Feeling that something was awkward, Mak Irah looked at Kawa carefully and watched Kawa closely.

"Yes Allah.....Mas Kawa...really mas Kawa?" his screeches. Kawa smiled.

"For a long time I did not see you, God is handsome. Now even tie-decked clothes" he said.

"Hungry mak" Kawa stroked her stomach. Mak Irah patted her forehead, then made an order for Kawa. Rice as usual.

"Now not here, is it? haven't been here in a long time, mom's been missing"

"Yes, move on"

"That's not really good..." Mak Irah protested, her hands deftly picked up the side dish for Kawa.

"Sir Liun, come here, we eat first" Kawa waved to Mr. Liun who was still in the car. And finally Mr. Liun sat on another bench.

"Just like mom, make her dad"

"Good mas" Mak Irah again made an order for Mr. Liun.

"Sorry mom, yesterday it was in a hurry so it did not have time to say goodbye, but now it has met" Kawa grinned. One of his favorite stalls with Rendra.

"Mas Rendra's not coming?" Mak Irah also still remember with Rendra who is always crowded if in this stall.

"Eh, until I forget, what's the drink?"

"White water only. What did Mr. Liun drink?"

"Warm tea ma'am" said Mr. Liun to Mak Irah.

"Ready mas" Mak Irah immediately made Mr. Liun's order and also took a bottle of mineral water for Kawa.

"What is Kawa?" Mak Irah was standing not far from Kawa sitting, the rice was almost toilet. Kawa enjoyed it. "His driver?" Mak Irah guessed. Kawa smiled.

"Wih great now yes, but the mother is seneng, because mas Kawa did not forget the same mother"

"No, my mother" Kawa opened the bottle and sipped it. "Still the same taste, delicious" Kawa gave a thumbs up towards Mak Irah. Mak Irah smiled happily.

"If you come here do not forget to stop by again mas, mak seneng if the child's mother plays here, do not forget the same mother"

"Yes, Mak" answered Kawa. He was still sitting there waiting for Mr. Liun to finish his meal.

"Some time, someone bought it"

"Yes, please"

        Finally Kawa said goodbye to Mak Irah, and promised if one day he would stop by here again if visiting.

"We go back to the road that was sir, just straight, in front there is a minimarket, it stops there" said Kawa.

"Ready Master"

The car drove slowly, as if she was nostalgic feeling how she first came to this place. It did not feel the car had stopped, because it was not far from the place Mak Irah. Kawa got out of the car, then got into the minimarket.

"Good day, welcome" the officer greeted me kindly. It was Alya's voice.

"Hi" said Kawa.

"Laughter?" Alya looked sparkling to see who was coming. "Oh sir Boss" Alya hurriedly corrected the call for Kawa"

"It's common for Al" Kawa smiled.

"God...Didit, there was the Boss sir" he shouted at the man who was busy compiling items on the shelf, who was called to turn his head.

"Sir Kawa" he said as he reached out his hand to shake hands.

"How are you guys?" ask Kawa.

"Good sir" they said almost simultaneously.

"Oh Allah, I don't really think you're undercover" Alya smiled shyly.

"Forget it" said Kawa. "Big boss where?" Kawa looked around.

"Just come out sir, he said he wanted to check the other store. "Now Mr. Broto changed sir" said Alya.

"Oh yeah? so it's ultramen?" kawa Canda.

"Haha...You can, not sir. Now he's all good with us, never angry"

"It's good, right"

They talked lightly while occasionally laughing, until finally Kawa had to say goodbye because there was still something to do in his office.
