All Because of You
Episode 18's

Zein just shut up. He understood the purpose and purpose of his mother.

" You're 28 years old. Be mature and mature enough to get married. You remember Tara? "

Zein shakes.

" Your SD friend who was stuck in the gutter when we lived in Depok. Remember that? " Dwita tried to explain the most memorable moment of the meeting of Zein and Tara.

Zein remembers again. But he did have only one friend whose hobby fell. Tara's.

" Oh, the Tara? which one fell mulu, right?? "

" yes. You know, Ze, he's married. Although he is not as handsome as you, not as much as you but already married. His son wants two, if you?? one has not yet. Let alone children, couples do not have. "sayir Mama. Zein snorted in annoyance.

" Yes, just lift the Tara as a mama's child.

Dwita. Zein always avoids the topic of a partner making him think badly.

" You .... No, gay, right, Ze? " doubtfully, her mother asked.

Zein who was drinking instantly coughed and choked.

" Mama! Oh, my God, this kid himself. " He rubbed his chest as it still continued to cough.

" Mama is just nanya. So you really aren't, Gay? " Dwita asked again.

" Yes, no, Ma" Zein replied in frustration.

" Why don't you have a boyfriend? " task Mama makes Zein careless.

" There is a. But not boyfriends, we like each other, we care for each other, we like each other --- "

" Other than the same uncertain, Mending the same mama's friend's son is sure. How's it?? Mom will know him. Her son is beautiful, smart too, has business too. You must fit him well, "said his mother, with a sparkling face.

" Ma? Please, this is not the age of marriage - matchmaking. I can find my own boyfriend. I know best what my wife's criteria will be. I don't even care if your friend's son is as perfect as Gal Gadot or Scarlett Johansson. "

This chat may feel light for most people but not for Zein. He lost his appetite and was tired of this conversation.

Dwita's face turned sad. She might have been a little offended by her son's recent remarks that seemed as if Zein was doubting her Mama's taste in choosing women.

" Mama just wants to make the last message from Papa. "said Mama, slowly.

Zein focused his attention on his mother again. Zein couldn't help but care when Dwita mentioned her Papa in this chat.

" You mean Mama? "

" Your papa once promised his best friend would marry you when you were older. But the hunt died before introducing you. So my mom sent me the same message Papa. Mama hope you understand. You love Papa very much, right?? "

That rhetorical question had Zein's heart sliced. She missed her father who died 6 years ago. All this time he was always sorry for not being able to make his Papa proud. And her mother carried the last message from her father that she was very difficult to fulfill.

" I don't know, Ma. "

" Mama wishes to be warm, you want to marry with the choice of Papa." said Dwita, pleading.

Zein took his plate to the sink and washed the lightning and asked permission to the room instead of checking important client files. He sat in front of an open laptop.

It's not that he doesn't want to fulfill his Papa's last message. Not because he doesn't love his dad. But she also thought of Melisa that this final ending was filling her heart and mind.

Her phone vibrated and there was a message coming in from Melisa.

" Sweep your hand, bring me to you. Do I want to go back or not? "

Zein smiled reading a message from Melisa. She wouldn't have imagined the woman's expression if Melisa had known what she was talking to her mother. Will Melisa be disappointed or sad? After all, that woman was not entirely his. They don't even have any labels between them.

" No need. You keep it for you. "reply Zein.

" okay. You can't take it anymore. "

" Yes, Melisa. "

He closed the chat room with Melisa. His head was tired from lack of sleep and conversation earlier. Zein decided to continue his sleep which was forced to wake up earlier.

****

Zein sat up irritably behind the wheel of the car. He was not playing because Dwita woke him up by force and asked Zein to drive the middle-aged woman away. He was just ready and ogah ogah because his mother asked him to take him to meet his friend when he was still sleepy.

" Strawberry cafe. You know the place, right? " ask Mama after looking at her phone.

Zein just cleared his throat.

He turned the steering wheel to the right when he saw the large writing of the cafe that his mother was heading to earlier. Lazily, Zein followed her Mama from behind. He was wearing a casual shirt with long jeans. His hair he let mess because in the wind. She didn't use pomade because she was lazy, so she just brushed her hair using her fingers.

" Smile dong, Zein. "please ask Mama.

Zein smiled with a forced smile. " Have?? "

" The sincere. "

Zein smiled again with more intention than the previous one. They continued their steps back. Zein repeatedly justified his hair because it continuously went down.

" How are you Dwita?? " a woman with a frenzy. He is Desi.

Desi directly splashed cipiki with Dwita.

" Des, meet Zein. " Dwita drew Zein's hand and asked her to greet Desi.

" Hello, Auntie. " Zein shook Desi's hand and smiled.

" You're a very grown man, Ze. Yesterday I met my aunt when you were a dozen years old, yes. " Desi while laughing while watching Zein from head to toe.

" Where? Is it fit to be your wife yet? " ask Dwita.

Zein. She did not know that Desi was the mother of the future wife chosen by her mother.

" You mean, Mama?? " Zein asked for an explanation, but his mother did not heed.

" It fits dong, Now it's your turn to meet the prospective daughter-in-law. Zein can't wait to see your future wife? " said Desi girang.

" Where is your son, Des? "

Desi glanced around then pointed in excitement towards the door of the cafe in the open.

" That's my son! " Desi then approached her son and took him.

" Dear, acquaintance with your future husband. "

The newly arrived woman also looks ogah ogahan against her mother. She lifted her head and looked at the man her mother called her future husband.

And he's surprised not to get stuck.

" ZEEN?! "

Likewise Zein who could not cover his surprise saw who came and who the woman who wanted to be betrothed to him.

" You? " Zein whispered with a half-dead shocked look on his face.
