CHARM OF THE MAID
Episode 17's

Tonight, Kenan just came home from looking for Anjani. Tracing the streets without stopping, hoping Anjani soon he found. For some reason, Ken felt uneasy. His thoughts continued to be on Anjani. Although not every day Ken is looking for Anjani, but Ken always takes the time to dig up information to and fro to find out the whereabouts of Anjani.

Anjani's shadow seemed to stick firmly in his mind. Spending five months without Anjani, making Kenan hit by a longing so big that fateful, only Kenan realized after Anjani left.

Regretted? Hugely. But, it all happened. Rice has become porridge. There's no way Ken could turn back time.

Ken arrived home and immediately parked his car in the yard. Saying, Kenan's ears caught the noise from inside the house. In the living room, Kenan met Kania, his sister who prepared snacks for his papa mama. Move the pastry from a large jar, to a small jar.

"This is what the hell is the deck?, why is the sound of mama like a great scene?" Ken approached his sister, approaching to ask for an answer.

"Mama wants to go to Galuh's aunt's house in Pati", replied Kania Ketus. Since Anjani's departure and knowing that her brother was the cause, Kania was cold to Kenan.

Kenan does not understand the meaning of his brother who behaved that cold, Kenan knows. It's just.... Kenan is still acting normal.

Ken walked up the stairs and went to the mother's room.

"Where is mom going?". Nawal glanced at his son's glance and replied in a cold tone.

"Don't ask Ken that much. Cepet bring a change of clothes a piece. We're going to Pati now!"

Kenan was astonished by his mama who suddenly ruled impromptu. Tonight tonight, we have to go to Pati. Wouldn't that be exhausting?

"Why should malem ma anyway? Wouldn't it be tomorrow?" Kenan is not in thought with the behavior of his enthusiastic mother to go to Pati now. "What's going to Galuh's aunt's house?", asked Ken again.

"Yes", answered Nawal briefly.

"Where's papa?".

"In the bathroom". Kenan was tired. Because, not tired of just coming home from a trip to find Anjani, but tired because the whole family hates him and does not consider him anymore.

Everyone who lives in this house is like making fun of him for Anjani's departure. Kenan realized he was guilty. If he is currently met with Anjani, Ken be sure, he will prostrate at the foot of Anjani.

But shit, Bad luck has befallen Kenan again and again.

Kenan immediately turned around and went towards his room. He took a small bag and prepared his own clothes and some of his necessities during the trip. As he packed his toiletries, Kenan suddenly remembered Anjani who had arranged his things in the villa. The incident turned back in his brain.

From the first he came, and Anjani served him, until he treated Anjani very harshly. Like pieces of the puzzle that are re-attached in sequence, Kenan's memory becomes clearer and he seems difficult to accept reality.

If he feels overwhelmed by this reality, then? What about Anjani now? Surely Anjani is more difficult than himself, Moreover, Anjani is now not alone. He went to bring Kenan's son-in-law too, how is Anjani now?

Is Anjani healthy?

Are their babies okay too?

Is Anjani capable of facing difficulties alone?

Does Anjani experience the name nausea and cravings?

Various questions, crossing his mind, gnawed at Kenan's confidence. Unbeknownst to Ken, the corner of his eye dropped a translucent circle that just fell down on his cheek.

"Mas... Mom and Dad were ready in the car. In wait, spit". Kania's voice awakens Kenan's daydream. As fast as lightning, Kenan wiped his tears and turned his head towards Kania who turned away.

Ken immediately walked to the courtyard, while Kania, entered and locked the door. Kania should go to bed right now. Given tomorrow there is a repetition, Kania must be indifferent to the problem of adults who make his dizzy follow.

.................

The Fandy family arrived in Pati in the early afternoon. The long journey was so tiring, making Nawal's body feel sore-feeling on its own.

When the car arrives in Pati, Kenan takes over the wheel. While Nawal, chose to sit in the back of the car with Fandy. Kenan felt amused himself, his parents, despite his age is no longer young, but they are reluctant to be separated from each other.

The car driven by Kenan arrived at the courtyard of a spacious simple house, Central Javanese carvings look beautifully decorated every corner of the house owned by Kyai Arsyad.

Fandy and Nawal got out of the car, while Kenan was still reluctant to move from his seat with his hands still holding the car steering. For some reason, Kenan's heart suddenly beat irregularly. He felt that there was such a turbulent hissing. I don't know what, Kenan can't be sure what happened to him.

When Nawal and Fandy came down, they were greeted warmly by Nawal's cousin, Galuh.

"Assalamualaikum, yu mbak, Fandy kang mas. How are you?". said Galuh with his distinctive soft voice. Fandy and Nawa smiled as they occasionally glanced inside the house like impatient people.

"Thank God be healthy, Diajeng. You're family, are you okay?".

"Thank God, all healthy. Whoa, what's my beautiful and handsome voice? why did Ndak come?", asked Galuh who seemed to pay attention around who saw no one but Nawal and Fandy.

Fandy and Nawal throw eyes at each other and Fandy immediately turns to his car to call Kenan.

"Ken? You didn't come down?", asked Fandy softly. Kenan was shocked. Yep. In the Kenan family, only the father is still paying attention to Kenan. Fandy is the one who understands Kenan the most. Not because Fandy was not being assertive, but because Fandy loved his children so much that he was impressed to always spoil the child.

"Eh? Yes reward, this is Ken down", replied Kenan.

Fandy and Kenan walked together to the two women who were waiting for them.

"Assalamualikum, Aunt" said Kenan by shaking and kissing the back of his mother's cousin's hand.

"Wa Alaikum salam. Waduh mbak yu, ponakan kok suddenly more handsome",

"Thank you, tan".

"Let's go in first, there's something I want to ask and I want to say this". Everyone nodded and immediately entered.

"Let's sit down", Galuh invited his brother to sit down. There, there are various foods and drinks available. It seems, Nawal's arrival was very much in wait by Galuh.they also sat quietly in the living room chair. Not to forget, Kyai Arsyad was also present to greet them.

"Kang mas, mbak yu.", Galuh paused his sentence, "I apologize in advance, Not that I do not want to let you rest first after a long trip, Galuh said, But I don't want to put all this on hold again".

Kenan looked at his aunt and it seemed, there, that Kenan was the one who knew the least.

"Anjani has told him all the tragedies that have happened to him in Banyuwangi. I've known all the full stories even though I haven't heard from you", Kenan widened his eyes. Anjani's? So, is Anjani here? Kenan was clenched and his tongue felt faint even if only to ask.

While Fandy and Nawal, they were no longer surprised because from the beginning, Fandy and Nawal already knew about this.

"Right now, she is reeling from the news of her mother's passing. Really, he actually, although he looks strong, in fact he is not as strong as people imagine. Anjani needs a family figure who loves him at this time, mbak yu. I'm afraid, something will happen with him and his womb. The situation suddenly dropped from last night.so how is this mbak yu?".
