FAKE LOVER
Luka

Zio was seen eating solemnly behind the background of the sound of Mayra and Grandma who were busy chatting in the family room.

" Ko Grandma was calling Zio Jaka Tarub the Nek ?"

Grandma drew a knotty smile to add a frown to her cheek, "Because of her," pointed to Zio, "Kaya Jaka Tarub. It'll only come if it gets a shawl."

" Salms ?" Mayra seemed confused herself.

" Yes, you know ? The shawl is the epitome of grief in this family." with a glance at Zio at a glance, because the room is indeed empty without obstruction.

Zio turned his head, and sighed in disbelief Grandma told Mayra the family secrets.

" Surely Grandma ?" staring in disbelief at Grandma, which was immediately answered with a nod by her. " Waa Zio you're so bad, you can't be like Grandma." turned to look at Zio, with a patronizing tone. Make Zio throw his face away, then immediately move on. Before getting a longer talk by the two women who had been busy chatting.

***

The dawn began to dawn, morning activities at Grandma's House began to sound. The sound of cock crowing became the opening of this beautiful morning for Mayra. " Hoahhmm." he appears to yawn as well as stretch the muscles after falling asleep.

Mayra was seen coming down the stairs in the spirit of four and five after finishing cleaning herself, she immediately headed to the kitchen that Grandma and Bi Ning had there. Cooking Zio's favorite menu if you visit Grandma's house, grilled fish special seasoning ala Grandma. Which feels like it's second to none. Even the smell filled the room.

Until the three of them seemed to eat occasionally joking laughter, what a crowd that had never been felt by Grandma. The presence of Mayra is like water in the dry desire of Grandma's life. He had wiped the tears without Mayra's knowledge as well as Zio, very moved by this beautiful atmosphere.

Upon completion Zio appears to return to the room, working on all the documents that had been piled up for several days left behind, which were brought by the bodyguards assigned to guard Zio and Mayra while at Grandma's house. All according to Radit's direction, so that the tense atmosphere turns calm slowly then Zio and Mayra are allowed to go home. While he will handle all the affairs in the Capital including Aldo, which will not be passed just like that.

Mayra seemed to rejoice, following all Grandma's activities from gardening that made her look very enthusiastic because of the many flowers and fruits that Grandma planted flourished. Then followed Grandma overseeing the performance of workers in a pure cow's dairy factory located two kilo meters from Grandma's House. Grandma's house is located at the end of the village even directly adjacent to the forest that is actually his own. The love of the Grandfather on plants until the animals were still held tightly by always keeping the forest so that it is not touched by nosy hands.

Until when Grandma took him to the library, his favorite place was even Zio. Although Mayra seems a little bored because there are only books about various sciences, motivations, and even many philosophies that make her even more sleepy and even fall asleep on the sofa, making Grandma who saw it shook her head slowly.

And that's how Mayra spent the day at Grandma's House with enthusiasm until several days passed so unfeeling for her.

When you are done informing Mom and Dad that he will be home tomorrow. He immediately rushed to find the whereabouts of Grandma from the kitchen, dining room, gazebo, Grandma library is not there then where ? with a slightly panicked mind he opened Zio's room, making Zio look at him instantly.

" Zio's.. Grandma said !!"

Zio seemed to be frowning, "Granny ? Missing ? hahaha ..." as soon as he chuckled, removing all fatigue from the various documents in the laptop.

" Ko laughs anyway ?"

" Isaac... Said to not believe, if why-not the same Grandma do not mistake me loh." he said annoyed and breezed out of Zio's room.

He seemed to walk with his lungla, Grandma where is the ? may has no Grandma.. Uhh..

Until Mang By seems to pass by with a cup of coffee, "Mang !" call Mayra who immediately stopped Mang By's steps.

" Aya naon Neng ?"

" Granny where the hell is it ? ko ain't everywhere" he said, looking around.

" Ohh.. Must be tea again in the top room at the very end of Neng."

" Oh yeah ? thank you Mang .." said Mayra with a step in hurry to climb the stairs to the top floor.

Mayra is seen knocking on the door repeatedly, but not getting an answer makes her more curious to open the door slowly.

And look Grandma who was crying haru by hugging a frame in the corner of the mattress, making Mayra full for a moment. Then he looked around the room that looked not much different from the other rooms, he ventured to approach Grandma, embracing her in a soft caressing embrace of her back. Although unable to see the contents in the frame, Mayra can confirm that it may be Zio's mother. Making him even more stunned, it turned out that not only was Zio still storing the fragments of the wound, but Grandmother was the same maybe even deeper and wider. Seen from Grandma who always wears black clothes, a sign of deep sorrow that may not be forgotten even until now.

Grandma seemed to cry bitterly, she who had just wanted to see the photo of the child and tell if now Zio has managed to live a normal life and soon will get married, he said, to make Grandma cry should remember how happy the child was when fond of Zio in her baby. Given how hard it feels to lose a child so unnaturally, given the life of grief Zio lived after losing his mother. Of him who is always hysterical when going to close his eyes, being antisocial is even very afraid to meet others. Always ask to visit Mama's grave as he wishes. The days are so heavy that sometimes make the conscience that has been spoiled is roaring blame fate. But soon again look as strong as steel, in order to become a strong backup for the grandson who lost his way in a dead end because of losing a pointer in his life.

Until the warm body of a person makes it not stop even more sobbing. Indeed, he felt powerless to look fragile by a young man who would even become the grandson of his son-in-law. But his ego was defeated by the arousing feeling of the warmth that Mayra had given him these few days even today.

" Thank you Mayra ..." Grandma said after she calmed down.

" Mayra ga lakain ko Nek .."

" Thank you for being present in Zio's life, being a light for his empty life, thank you so much for realizing Grandma's child's dream .." he said full of days until he showed tears again. By remembering the words of the child who always tingling even becomes a panacea in the heartache he experienced to stand upright, to be able to give strength to his beloved grandson.

" Whatever it is Ma ... Origin Zio happy. I'll do it." What a mother's love never ends.

" Mr..." Even Mayra was swept away, feeling unworthy of such a sincere thank you from Grandma. Because in reality his relationship with Zio is just a falsity.
