How surprised Nila, when she heard from her father who served as village secretary, if the name Zoya Kamila was registered as a prospective bride. The girl who has been friends with Zoya for a long time is getting impatient to immediately meet and question Zoya. 

"Are you sure that's Zoya Kamila my best friend?" tanya Nila reassured her father's story. 

"Of course I'm sure, the address and name of his parents are clearly stated! But the one who comes to take care of the administration is only a representative of Zoya's future husband, so don't ask what Zoya's future husband looks like!" obviously Father Nila after taking the water of ablution and immediately perform Salat Magrib congregation. 

After the Magrib Salad, Nila rushed to Zoya's house. Nila stepped through the evening atmosphere, because many questions in her brain that were impatient wanted answers immediately.

"Assalamualaikum, Zoy! " said Nila by knocking on the door. Not having to wait long, Zoya came out with a reply to Nila's greeting, "Waalaikum salam, Nila. Is there anything important that brings you here tonight?" Zoya is a little surprised, not usually Nila met at night. 

Nila only pulls Zoya's small hand, bringing the girl to sit on the chair on the porch of the Zoya family's modest home. 

"Zoy, are you sure? Married, this? Your whole life, Zoya?" Nila looked at the face of ayu in front of her. The question he asked was only answered with a thin smile of Zoya. Nila could only throw her breath rough. Somehow she will convince Zoya about an important decision that will determine her next life. 

"I'm sure, Nile! "  zoya said by taking the back of his best friend's hand that still could not accept the truth about Zoya's marriage. 

"Do you know what your future husband looks like? What about your heart?" Nila's voice was heard softly as she looked at Zoya's sad face, she had already memorized what Zoya was like, for Zoya there would be no bad words for others even if it did not suit her heart. 

Not getting an answer from Zoya, the girl who is preparing her heart to be able to accept all circumstances, Zoya hugs Nila. His embrace felt tight as tears flowed down his cheeks. There is a sadness that Zoya finds difficult to express with words. 

"Why not just turn it down, Zoy? " said Nila half-whispering. 

Zoya immediately wiped away her tears. He did not want, if until his mother saw the sadness that he was currently feeling because of the matchmaking. 

"I don't want you to be disappointed?" zoya replied no less.

"But... It's about your life, Zoyaaa!" Nila reassures Zoya.  

"Just pray this is my best path, Nile! I've been sincere and hopefully patient is always with me." replied Zoya, she smiled again, and it makes Nila was unable to comment anything. Only now Zoya recounts if after her wedding ceremony tomorrow, she has to go to live with her husband. 

The faces of the two girls looked equally sad, as the parting embrace unraveled in a gradual manner. However, they have spent a lot of time together, both joy and sorrow as friends.

"I accept the marriage of Zoya Kamila bint Husein with the dowry of a set of salat tools paid in cash!" Hans's voice during the marriage contract continues to echo in Zoya's ears, when it also confirms that she has become a wife of Hans Satria Jagad. The man who had never looked at her for a moment. 

After the sacred wedding, the three-year-old girl always followed where Zoya went, Alexa Salma Aqila, she was the daughter of Hans from his late first wife, late Renita Farhana. 

Before bringing Ale and Zoya together, Miss Santi has given understanding to her granddaughter if she will have a new mom named Zoya. Fortunately, Zoya's gentle and patient attitude makes the boy stick directly to Zoya. 

"Ma, Ale let one car be with us." Niar, Hans's older sister, told Ms. Shanti. 

"No way, Ale wants to be with Mama Zoya!" Ale's voice preceded before Bu Shanti replied. Being called 'Mama' Zoya herself actually felt strange, but that was the reality. 

"No matter what Ma'am, let Ale be just me!" According to Zoya, it would be much better than just one bench with her husband whose attitude seemed foreign and cold. 

"Come, we leave now, afraid of the night" said Bu Shanti making all walk towards their respective cars. 

The group is divided into two, Niar and other relatives enter Alphard's car driven by Niar's husband. While Miss Santi, Hans, Zoya including Ale entered the black Mercy driven by Mr. Bagus, Bu Shanti's personal driver. 

The black Mercy drove on, making Zoya look back at the house that has carved a beautiful story so far, a house that provides many sweet memories with people who she will surely miss. 

"Ale... sit alone!" Hans baritone's voice had only been heard from the moment they were in the car. 

"No way, Pa! Ale is just like mom!" Ale denied what Hans had ordered. Talking to Ale made Hans stare at Zoya at once. 

"Ale, aren't you the same Papa? " strongly Hans sounded annoyed upon hearing his daughter's rebuttal. The man opened the suit and folded his white shirt sleeves up to his elbows because he felt sultry. 

"Leave it, Mom! " Zoya's shrill voice sounded like an intense pressure that left Hans speechless again.  

Hearing the debate on the bench behind Bu Shanti just glanced at him while smiling. At least there was some interaction between them. The reason the middle-aged woman forced Hans to get married soon, one of them was because of Ale. Every time his grandson always asked when he would have Mama, it made his heart ache. 

Until one day, when Santi found Nurma's contact, who was once his closest friend when he was still in High School, made him come to visit Nurma's house. Of course, when meeting with old friends makes them reminisce and tell their lives. From there Shanti was interested in her best friend's eldest daughter, especially when she saw Zoya in person, the middle-aged woman was immediately interested in matching Zoya with Hans. 

Flashbacks 

"Please Ma, don't interfere in Hans' affairs! " hans said as Shanti said she would match him to his best friend's daughter. 

"Are you going to be like this Hans? Kasian Ale, he needs a mother figure! Especially every time he whines he wants to have a mom! Are you the heart? " Santi again persuaded her son. 

"But it doesn't have to be betrothed anyway, Ma! " Hans voice is rising. Making Santi sit down and press his chest that was already painful. 

"Ma... Mama! " Hans was made anxious when he saw that his mother was already grimacing in pain. Hans immediately found his mother's heart medicine that he had memorized. 

"Yes, Ma. I will accept the match, "said Hans resignedly as Santi leaned his body on the sofa. 

Flash On's. 

As Mercy veers into a house in the elite housing estate, Hans starts to get confused about how to wake his wife who has been asleep since. 

"Wake up...! " said Hans, shaking Zoya's little shoulder. 

Seeing Zoya working her eyes, Hans picked up Ale who was also asleep to be brought inside the house. 

On exiting the car, Zoya looked up, staring at the two-story luxury house dominated by white. 

"Let's get Zoya in! Let the goods be brought by Mr. Good! " let Shanti make Zoya follow her step inside. 

Hans placed Ale in the room in front of his room. It was definitely Ale's room, because of the many knickknacks and dolls inside. 

"Hans, take Zoya for a break!"  Hearing her mother's orders Hans simply answered her with a mutter. And then walk towards the room that Zoya followed. 

The big hand opened the door handle and let Zoya in without a word. The room is quite large, Zoya also approached the sofa and sat her body there. 

His gaze circulated, as if researching every detail of the room that had made him amazed. Deg. 

"Why does it hurt to see it." Zoya murmured inwardly as she looked at Hans's wedding photo with Renita that seemed happy.
