All Because of You
Episode 33

One passed from the day that Zein told Dwita about Melisa. Even though he had a good response from his mother, but all decisions remain in Dwita's hands. And today, he's gonna bring Dwita and Melisa together. He hoped that all the miracles would side with him specifically today so that his plan could run perfectly.

Hopefully Melisa can melt Dwita's heart.

" Are you sure he's as good as you told Mama? " ask Dwita in doubt, when they had reached the parking lot where they had made an agreement with Melisa.

" Mom value yourself later" said Zein while pulling the handbrake.

" Mommy is curious, what the hell makes you crazy crazy about him? "

Zein looked towards her mother. " I don't know. Maybe because I've never met a woman like her before. "

Dwita saw a twinkle of light that emanated every time her son talked about his lover. Adding to Dwita's curiosity about who Melisa's figure really is.

They got out of the car and entered a small restaurant located in one of the shophouses. Zein was nervous to death, because this was the first time he introduced women to his parents. In the past he felt no need to introduce his girlfriend to Mama or his father because he was not sure where the relationship would continue. But now the figure of the woman he just knew for about half a year can melt the mind and force Zein to organize his future.

" That, Ma, the guy" said Zein, as they had already walked into the restaurant.

" Where?? " tanya Dwita rolled her eyes in all directions.

" That's the one in the ivory-white shirt" Zein said, turning her mother's shoulders toward where Melisa was sitting.

Melisa was sitting in one of the corner spots near the window. Zein was convinced the reason the girl chose the place was because it was quieter than other places.

" Mel, "greet Zein.

Melisa immediately closed the phone she held and stood up.

" Ma, meet Melisa. Mel, know this is my mama. " said Zein, looking at Dwita and Melisa alternately.

Melisa reached out her hand first and smiled politely. " Mellie, aunt. "

Dwita returned Melisa's hand with a smile. " Dwita's. "

" Let's sit down. " Zein broke the awkward atmosphere between Melisa and Dwita.

Then Zein called the restaurant waiter to order a meal. Then when the waiter came back again, Zein tried to open the topic of chat that as much as possible was not boring.

" Ma, Melisa likes to cook as well as like Mama." said Zein who immediately attracted the attention of Dwita.

" Oh yeah? What can you cook? " ask Dwita to Melisa.

" A lot of aunts. But the most I mastered was usually the cuisine that the people closest to me liked. "answered Melisa, She felt awkward half to death.

Dwita nodded. " Zein's favorite food, you know? "

" You know, Auntie. Sauteed chickpeas, rendang, chicken opor, fried tempeh that must be soaked first use salt, keep shrimp pete balado same stir-fry broccoli also he likes. "answer Melisa without being asked at length, he immediately explained.

" What does he not like? " ask Dwita again.

" I think almost all the food entered her mouth, tan." Melisa replied.

Dwita laughed a little. " You're greedy" he said to Zein.

" Let's not waste food, Ma" replied Zein in self-defense.

Melisa just remembered something when she and Zein attended the culinary event of the archipelago some time ago. " There's something he doesn't like. Same tape shells. " Melisa glanced at Zein asking for approval.

" Just remember, you" said Zein dislikes it.

Melisa laughing. " Obviously dong. "

" You don't like clams? " ask Dwita.

Zein nodded. " Every time you buy shellfish, I never eat. "

" Oh, Mama just realized you never eat shellfish every papa bring first. "now Dwita feel increasingly distant with her son. Even the food that Zein doesn't like he doesn't know and his girlfriend also knows more about Zein.

" What does aunt like to eat? " ask Melisa.

Dwita breaks her daydream. " Oh, Auntie likes vegetables. Whatever the vegetables are, auntie will love it. "

Melisa smile. " Plecing kale doyan Tan? "

Dwita. " Aunty likes kale the most. "

" Papa I also like kale kayak aunty. I used to cook kale as creative as possible so that I myself do not get tired of eating it continues because papa there is no boss. "remember Melisa, He is not sad but it feels long to start ambushing him.

" oh, huh? What do you like to do most? " Dwith asked.

" That's kale plecing. But now it's never done again because papa is no more. " said Melisa. He smiled faintly despite the fact that he was discussing his late father.

Dwita. According to Zein's story, The girl before him was an orphan, but what attracted Dwita was the way she spoke which was very polite even though relaxed. And even though Melisa was talking about her dead father, the girl did not ask him for a look of pity.

" Yes, don't talk about top- "

" If you don't mind, auntie would like to be in the bagging kale with you. " said Dwita, cut off Zein's speech just now.

Both Zein and Melisa were equally surprised to hear Dwita's words. The two lovebirds looked at each other so shocked.

" Bo-can, Aunt. I'll make Auntie. " said Melisa, glad.

Zein smiled at Dwita and Melisa's previously awkward interaction slowly turned more relaxed.

" What is your company engaged in? " ask Dwita, when discussing about work.

" Service, Tan. Some kind of advertising agency. So if for example there is a brand that wants to make commercial or non-commercial ads can contact the company. Anyway anything related to advertising is my company's work. ", Melisa explained, grabbing Dwita's attention.

" Well, is there an advertisement on tv, including? "

Melisa nodded. " Yes, Tan. "

" Waow .. "praise Dwita to amazement.

" Nicely Zein likes you. Don't let him come to you because you are rich. " continued Dwita, then make Melisa laugh.

Zein released a straw in his mouth. He almost choked because of his mother's words.

" Mommy if you talk to stepchildren." Zein protest.

" Loh, why not? " continue mother.

Melisa who was still laughing, immediately commented again. " Not really, Auntie. My company is small like no aunt could have imagined. "

" You're not saying that out of pity for Zein, are you? " Dwita glanced at Zein with her ignorant gaze. Melissa laughed again.

" Means mama should be proud dong have a child who managed to hook women tajir. "saidir Zein.

The two women laughed together. Although annoyed, Zein is happy to see the two women he loves can share laughter in one meeting. His mother was not as corrupt as he had thought.

Soon the food they ordered came. Zein ate the food while listening to the chatter of Dwita and Melisa that still continues. Although occasionally he is still used as a joke, but it's okay his mother can feel comfortable with Melisa.
