"Mrs Kenya? W-is there something?" shanum asked, he was overwhelmed by the Kenyan presence in front of him.
Kenya nodded. "There was. We have to talk" Kenya replied, nodding her head.
Shanum immediately looked at Arsenio who was also staring at him. Understanding what Shanum was thinking, Kenya immediately smiled faintly.
"We don't talk now, you'll finish eating" Kenya said, leaving Shanum calm and nodding.
Despite showing calmness, Shanum remains wary. His heart and mind were busy guessing, about what Kenya wanted to talk about until it had to choose the time and was afraid to be heard.
"Oma, would you like to eat with us too?" arsenio asked, he was so pleased with Kenya's presence there. This time, he did not understand Shanum's uncomfortable mood because he was constantly stared at without pause by Kenya, blatantly too.
"Did Arsen really like eating fried rice here?" kenya asked, he glanced at Shanum then looked at Arsenio again. I don't know what the glance of his eyes just now, Shanum did not understand.
'Why is Madam Kenya glancing at me like that? Does he mind if I take his granddaughter out to eat on the side of the road like this? But, despite the roadside, this place is also hygenic, delicious, Shanum's inner.
"Arsenio really likes it, Oma. Long ago, it was Aunt Rima who first brought us here, Oma!" arsenio replied, telling this and that to Omanya, Kenya.
"Auntie Rima?" Kenya's eyebrows intertwined, he glanced back at Shanum.
"Rima, my friend, Madam. He also worked at Arthur Group, cleaning service as well" Shanum replied in detail.
Kenya mangosteen. Their fried rice order was added to two servings. One is for Kenyans and the other is for Kenyans. After eating, Shanum and Arsenio went home. Followed by Kenyan car from behind. Honestly, Shanum felt very uncomfortable.
Upon arrival at home, Arsenio asked to go straight to sleep. He said he was tired, whether true or not, Shanum didn't know. But he complied with his son's request.
Kenya went into Shanum's room, looked around the not-so-extensive room. If two people live, enough is enough. However, Kenya still felt unwilling for her grandson to live in such a place, his heart sliced. How is it possible, Oma and Daddy live in a luxurious place, while Arsenio and Shanum live in a narrow place.
"Mrs, Arsenio is asleep. Do you want to talk now?" shanum asked, smiling sweetly at Kenya who was standing at the door.
"Has my granddaughter really been asleep?" ask Kenya to make sure.
"Yes, Madam. Arsenio's asleep."
"alright. Let's just talk in the car. It's a personal matter, I don't want anyone to hear this conversation, it's not good for you and Arthur, is it?" kenya said, his flat face made Shanum confused. But, he simply nodded, following the will of the Madam.
'Sir Arthur and I are married in series. Can I call Mrs Kenya Mama-in-law?' Shanum chuckled inwardly, laughing at himself.
They both got into the car. Shanum was nervous, blatantly Kenyan looking at him as if she was judging something. Is it possible that she is assessing her eligibility to be Mommy Arsenio, a child of CEO Arthur Group? However, even though he was not worthy though, fate still could not be changed. She's still Arsenio's real mom.
Shanum did not yet recognize the Kenyan personality, so he was afraid and began to think of strange things. Afraid that Kenya would give a wad of money with fantastic value so that Shanum would hand Arsenio over to them completely.
"What are you thinking?" ask Kenya.
"Ti-no, Madam." Shanum shook his head while smiling knots.
"Don't call me madam, that sounds too raw" Kenya said, chuckling softly. Just this time Shaum saw the smile engraved on the middle-aged woman's face.
"Then, wh-what?" tanya Shanum was completely confused.
"You'll soon be my son-in-law. Arthur and Clarissa call me Mama. If you want to equate with them, it doesn't matter. But if you want to make a different call, it's not a bad idea either" Kenya concluded, smiling sweetly at Shanun.
Kenya clasped Shanum's still-weeping hand. The woman had really not expected this before. From the attitude of the Kenyan judge from the beginning, Shanum would not have expected, the woman would be gentle with him.
"Ca-prospective son-in-law?"
"But, I-I"
"I'm sorry for my attitude. You must understand, I don't know, that Mommy Arsenio is you. I was afraid that another woman might tease Arthur, making my son forget the Arsenio Mommy he was supposed to marry," Kenya said, a look of regret clearly on his face.
"Marry Arthur, Shanum. My son is not a bad man. I already know why there is an Arsenio among you. Forgive my son's mischief four years ago" said Kenya, knowing how Shanum's heart was. Kenya can also guess, until now Arthur has not apologized for what he had done four years ago to Shanum.
"Mr Arthur has also talked to me about this, Nyo ... Ma's. I was thinking about this as well," Shanum replied honestly. Confused about what to call Kenya, the call came accidentally.
"Then, what's your decision? Do you want to marry my son?" asked Kenya, looking fixedly at Shanum's face which showed concern.
Shanum just smiled faintly. "I'm thinking about it. Cannot give an answer ... Ma!"
Kenya breathed a long, disappointed breath. But that was Shanum's decision. How could he force the woman to be willing to marry his son Arthur.
"Think of Arsenio, Shanum. He needs his Daddy figure. Our mistake was not to find you early. But that doesn't mean we don't care. We've been trying to find you since four years ago, when the incident happened," Kenya said, not wanting to make Shanum misunderstand. Want to straighten everything out.
"What incident?" ask Shanum.
"For nine months Arthur felt severe nausea vomiting. The mood is cranky, often angry and want strange food. It is like pregnant people in general. And, exactly one day, he felt an incredible mules. In fact, he was straining and sweating coldly. It's like a-people"
"The one who's on the verge?" timpal Shanum who was so serious listened to Kenyan narrations about the past events of his son.
Kenya nodded. "I know you can guess" said Kenya.
"Since then we realized, Arthur must have had a child. That's why we desperately looked for him, unfortunately we couldn't find him. Now, Arthur would definitely not let go of his responsibilities just like that. He loves Arsenio very much" said Kenya.
"Re-really?" shanum asked, his voice choked. It feels so hard to believe.
"Yes, Shanum." Kenya nodded while chuckling softly. "If you don't see it straight away, you may not be able to believe it right away" Kenya said.
"It's late, Mama's home first. I hope you can consider everything and accept Arthur, Sha." Kenya smiled sweetly. After asking his men to investigate about Shanum, he knew Shanum was indeed a good woman.

"Ma, where have you been?" clarissa asked, while Arthur only glanced at her mother who had just returned home.
"From that moment on the phone, Mama didn't answer. Cla same brother Arthur is worried, Ma. I don't usually go home last night" Clarissa said.
"Ma!" clarissa jolted her lips as Kenya did not listen.
Arthur took care of some of his files and his laptop. It was Clarissa who urged him to accompany her to wait for Kenya in the basement. The woman was very anxious because the mother had not yet returned home even though the hour had gone to half twelve nights. Which makes Clarissa so worried because it is not usually Kenya to go home that late, and not give any news.
"Sister, where are you going? Reproof, Mama, Brother! Don't let Mama be like this again!"
Arthur doesn't care about Clarissa's request. He walked upstairs to his room. However, only a few steps that he climbed, his step stopped when he heard Kenyan remarks that explained the reason, why he could go home after that.
"Mama just asked Shanum to marry your brother. Talked a lot, so it was this long" Kenya replied, his eyes watching Arthur stop and turn around, looking at Kenya.
"A-what, Ma? Shanum's? Who's she?" ask Clarissa. He had just heard the name of the woman. And, until his mother came and asked the woman to marry his sister? That woman is great.
"Your sister's future wife. Will soon be your sister-in-law. More precisely Arsenio's Mommy," replied Kenya, her eyes still staring at Arthur.
