All Because of You
Episode 29's

Melisa is still watching Desi in the kitchen. He always falls when treated gently. Ever since her birth mother figure was absent, she had always felt comfortable being around any middle-aged woman. If in the past at school, he had a gang biology teacher named Sulis who he had considered like his own mother because of the meek attitude and attention he gave to her.

Since knowing Siti, she has also considered Desi as her mother. The middle-aged woman was very kind to him and who must have always treated herself like a child herself.

Ten minutes passed and Desi came carrying a tray of 4 slices of dry bread and two cups of tea. He invited Melisa to taste his banquet.

" You come here, Mel. Lonely aunt knows. Ever since you graduated from college, you have rarely played at home. " complained Desi. She stroked Melisa gang's hair down.

" Yes, Aunt. If I wasn't busy, I'd be playing here. Does lunchtime not come home? " ask Melisa.

" Boro boro comes home at lunch. Aunty was grateful at home in the afternoon. She still likes to dugem, Mel? " ask Desi with a probing look.

Melisa chuckles. " No, aunt. Uh, that means rarely. Glenn was rarely there, so Siti felt she had no friends anymore. "

Desi nods. " Good enough. Having a daughter is the only one doing so. You want to be a aunt too? Let's not dizzy dizzy very aunt think of the Siti. "kidding Desi and Melisa laugh.

" Want to get aunty dong. "

" Want aunty braid her hair? Your hair is long too " said Desi.

" Ah, yes. I haven't cut it yet. " Melisa draped her hair to her right shoulder to measure how long her hair was.

" It used to be High School up to the waist, right? "

Melisa nodded. " If not in papa's wrath, maybe I won't cut. " Melisa chuckles.

Desi got off the couch and picked up some hair gear. She brought a comb and some other hair accessories.

" Here aunty braids." said Desi.

Melisa happily arranged her sitting position to turn her back to Desi.

" Aunty why not open a salon? " ask Melisa.

" Confused who will be passed on to whom. Anywhere wants to take care of the soan, aunty told to take care of the boutique aja use the deal first"." said Desi.

Melisa chuckles. " But Siti is great. Even though everyone considers her a woman who is famous, but the proof is that she is able to take care of boutiques until now. "

" Aunty was never skeptical of him. It was just was. "

Desi began to conclude Melisa's hair to be braided one by one. His fingers are flattened probably because they rarely touch dish soap or detergent like housewives in general.

" Mell? "

" Yes, Tan? "

" How are you the same as Zein? " Desi started to open the topic.

Melisa just smiled thinly, without being deciphered. Desi sitting behind him was clearly unable to see.

" Good, aunt. I just met you ", Melisa replied.

" Oh, Zein should be here with Mama tonight. Only his mother said to be pushed back the day after, he said Zein again exhausted. " said Desi.

Melisa may not understand what Desi's intention is to tell you about this, but the one she's arrested may be Desi was talking about their deal the other day.

" You .... Have you tried talking to Zein? " Sat asked.

" No, Tan. How about Siti? "

" Siti easy. If Zein had agreed, he would have agreed. Because of her only obstacle. Zein has a girlfriend. "

Melisa. He was confused as to what to reply. To be honest, he did not know how to persuade Zein. The serious conversation that he had built up this morning seemed useless because if he had met the man, then he had thrown away all the masks he wanted to use.

" Aunty hope you understand dear." said Desi trying to understand Melisa.

" Yes, Aunt. Anyway later Melisa will persuade Zein as soon as possible " said Melisa.

" Thank you, son. Let's drink his tea later to a cold hunt, baby. " said Desi, reminding the banquet has not been touched at all.

Melisa took a small glass containing tea and drank it slowly. He hoped that the smell of chamomile would relax his mind.

" When will their fiance's plan be held? " at once Melisa wanted to know so she could manage the time.

" A little over two months from now. Wait for Om to come home. "pleasantly Desi told.

" Oh that. "

Then he only has about nine weeks from now to be with Zein. Because after that man must he let go and love with other women. Either he could or could not remember what Glenn said yesterday and then. But it feels inappropriate to refuse Desi's request which has always been good to him.

" It's done! " Desi tidied Melisa's hair back. He makes sure his braids are neat and perfect.

Melisa felt her hair. Very neatly coupled with a pinch of tiny flowers joined in between the knot of her braids.

" Thank you aunt. Nice bangat. I don't know when I was last braided gini " said Melisa. He was amazed by Desi's hand.

Desi laughed, blushing. " Good dong. The one with the hair is also pretty, so it fits."

Melissa smiled shyly. There were only two women who he felt sincere when praising, namely his birth mother and Desi.

" Mel, try it on the dry bread, too. Yesterday aunt bought in the new bakery in front of the complex. If it is not good then the aunt can be complete. "

Melisa took a piece of bread. Then he spent until almost evening accompanying Desi. They talk warmly like Mother and Son. Desi no longer discussed Zein in their conversation.

In fact, he could not deny himself also loved Melisa very much. But that's not the point for now, she just wants her real daughter to marry the man of her choice. Which he has known for a long time and certainly can guarantee the life of Siti in the future.

Melisa cleaned up the rest of the dinner plates just now. While his uncle was busy watching international football matches. Normally he would split the task with Om Irwan and tonight was his schedule.

" Mel, it's like you have a guest" said Om Irwan who is still focused on the TV screen.

" Who is this night guest." muttered Melisa. He hurriedly put the dishes and glasses in the sink.

After that he stepped towards the window and peeked at who was coming. It was Zein. He smiled and opened the door. The man unceremoniously stale instantly scattered his embrace into Melisa's body. Hugged her tightly until she could smell the woman's original scent.

" It's late and you're still here? "
