Ray kept staring at the pregnant mother who was in front of him. "Why should I stroke Mom's stomach?"
"Because I want if my son is born, his handsome will be like Mas Fildan." The mother smiled to herself.
'Oh, my God, for what sake.. This mother is-there is, ' Ray's inner grumbling.
"Wouldn't it be a problem, Mom? I don't want people to be suspicious or have bad thoughts about me."
"Nothing's gonna happen, Mas Fildan. I assure you, Fildan do not be afraid. Come on, just for a second.."
With doubt, Ray began to stretch his hand slowly while looking around and then began to stroke the mother's stomach, a few seconds later Ray immediately lowered his hand back.
"A yes, Mom? I have another appointment with a friend." said Ray remained polite so that the mother was not offended.
"Yes, Mas. That's enough, thank you so much? Hopefully the handsome Mas Fildan will be able to be snared to my son," The mother smiled thinly and then immediately left.
Ray just shook his head to see the mother's behavior, he walked back to Kiara's house.
Minutes later.
Tok tok!
Ray knocks on Kiara's door.
Chequek!
The door opened and Kiara was wearing long pajamas with a picture of an orange.
"Mas Fildan, I don't think so come." Kiara opened the door of her house wide.
"I can't possibly break a promise" Ray said with a faint smile.
"Let's go in, Mas." Kiara lets Ray into the house.
"Assalamualaikum." said Ray as he stepped in.
"Waalaikumsalam" Kiara said.
Ray sat on a chair made of rattan material.
"Mas Fildan would drink what? Let me make it."
"Don't bother, Kiara. I came here with nothing, either,"
"Then what's the problem? I'll make 'Mas Fildan some warm tea, wait a minute." Kiara walked over to the kitchen.
"Truly a good girl, Mas Jaka must have been lucky to get a wife like Kiara" murmured Ray who admired Kiara.
Moments later, Kiara has returned with a tray containing one glass of warm sweet tea and also her homemade steamed sponge.
"This, Mas. Please enjoy," Kiara smiled faintly as she placed the glasses and dishes on the table.
"Thank you, Kiara." Ray started picking up the sponge that Kiara had cut into pieces.
"Where does it feel, Mom? Tasty or bad?" Kiara looked at the handsome face of Raymond who was chewing on his artificial sponge.
"I did it myself, Mom. It's also still a learning stage." Kiara.
"Still learning but it's as good as this, soft inside and crispy outside. The sweetness is also fitting," Ray smiled sweetly.
"Oh yeah, how's your grandma doing?"
"Yes that way, Mom. Thank God his condition is improving even though he has not recovered too much,"
"Ki, can I ask you something?" Ray asked what he wanted to know.
Kiara looked at Ray. "Say,"
"Is there something you're hiding in your marriage that will take place with Mas Jaka?"
Kiara.
"Speak, Ki. I'll listen to your story." Ray looked at Kiara gently. "Did anyone force you to marry Mas Jaka?"
"Why can you conclude like that, Mom?"
"Because it was seen this afternoon when you gave me an invitation, your countenance was very lethargic and there was no joy in the slightest." Ray did see how Kiara expressed when giving the invitation.
"I'll tell you everything." Kiara took a deep breath then exhaled slowly. "Actually I love Mas Jaka a lot."
'It turns out my estimation was wrong, ' Ray's inner shame.
"Then what makes you not excited when your marriage will be accelerated?"
"Because of Mas Jaka's parents. They don't like me because I'm a poor man, while they have everything. Our status is very much different, Mom! Like the heavens and the earth."
Ray nodded in understanding. "So that's why you're so lethargic thinking about your marriage and Mas Jaka?"
Kiara nodded. "I'm afraid when I get married both of Mas Jaka's parents won't let me stay here, so what's the fate of my grandmother?"
Ray exhaled softly, he was also at a loss to say much less. His goal of coming to Kiara's house was already answered. ' It turns out that's the reason Kiara is not as excited in welcoming her marriage and Jaka.' inner Ray .
"May I meet with Grandma?"
Kia looked at Ray who was also looking at her sincerely, Kiara nodded and the two of them entered into grandmother's room.
