“Iya, what's up?”
“Can I ask something to mama?” zayn asked a little doubtfully.
“Iya dong darling, indeed what do you want to ask?”
“At that time how did you know that you were in love with papa?”
Mama Elva looks confused by her son's question,“Tumben once you ask it the same mama? Ordinary you never pay attention to mama's story?”
“Zayn was asking mommy but why did you ask me back?”
“From the beginning mama knows papa,” Usul zayn.
“Mama knew papa while attending a matchmaking event conducted by our parents, at that time mama was only eighteen years old while your papa was thirty-three years old, but even though the age of papa has a head of 3 but his face still looks young.”
“Mama want to be paired with om-om?” zayn didn't believe it.
Mama elva chuckles, “More precisely her forced anyway.”
“So mom married young huh?”
“Iya where mama lives, that age is enough to get married and there are even younger ages than mama.”
“Then?” tanya zayn awaits her continuation.
“Then we got married and carried out the role of husband and wife in his general.”
“Without love?”
“Ya like that lah.” Mama elva's.
“At that time papa only needed a descendant to continue the company, even he so haughtily said that he could not possibly put feelings to his mother, but he was consumed by his own speech, he said,” mama elva laughed as she recalled the incident.
“So papa fell in love with mom first?” mama elva nodded.
“Not long mama pregnant and gave birth to brayn, papa so painstaking take care of your mama and brother even he indulges and obeys all your wishes, well from there mama began to love papa, papa,” clear mama elva blushed.
“Then where did you know when you fell in love with papa?”
“Ya initially mama also did not know but the more the day each time saw papa mama's heart felt pounding, the more the day of debaran was faster every time papa approached mama, the more the mother, then when your papa is out of town for a month mama misses him so much that even her face always appears in mama's memory.”
“And when his girlfriend came to the house somehow mama became upset let alone see papa was laughing loosely with her, every papa approached mama felt annoyed and did not want to see it, he said, but every time your papa goes mama even more upset because it feels not noticed.”
“Do you want to ask again zayn?” mama elva asked but she didn't answer.
Zayn was daydreaming about his feelings lately, after hearing the story of his mother even more confused him.
Maybe I'm in love with her too?
“Zayn,” Call mama elva disperse daydream zayn.
“What are you thinking, baby?” Ask mama elva again.
“No ma, oh yes ma is there any way we can fall in love with someone even if only met a few times?” Ask zayn.
Mama elva just laughed without answering zayn's question, “Mama why? What question zayn there is funny?”
“No, mom just wants to laugh.”
It turned out that this child was confused by his feelings, it was fitting that he asked like this, mama elva took her breath in and threw it away so that she would not laugh anymore.
“So what can it happen ma?”
“Yes can be dear, that feeling can appear without knowing the time,” mama elva replied.
“While we rarely even barely ever meet?” ask zayn again.
“If the heart already has a taste, want we never meet any feeling it will remain and will not change.”
“As mama to papa feeling right?”
Mama elva smiles, “Ya like mommy feeling to papa.”
“There's been sleep, this morning you work right?”
“Zayn told joe I wanted to take a break.”
“Tumben once you're off, What's the matter?” Ask mama elva.
“Today is your birthday, so zayn will accompany you wherever you want.”
“Serious?”
“Iya ma.”
“Ya already there mama wants to sleep this already at two in the morning,” expel mama elva.
“Ya good night mama.”
