Married a Single Mother
MSM 22'S

The smile that had been expanding on Raffael's lips slowly faded with his hands that he lowered slowly because he did not get a welcome from Jelita.

It was true that Jelita returned Raffael's hand with a hug. Raffael may forget that from the beginning Jelita was very difficult to conquer. And again he strengthened his heart to keep fighting to melt the woman's heart.

“It's late. Why did Mas come here?” ask Jelita and throw her face away.

The lighting on the terrace that is minimal makes Raffael difficult to see the face of Canti Jelita who for a few days is very much missed.

“I miss you so much. Sorry, I didn't tell you that I had a business trip out of town for a week. My phone is lagging.” Raffael.

Jelita still silently showed no reaction after hearing Raffael's explanation about his departure for several days. Why all this time as if someone was trying to distance himself from Raffael. Evidently when several times delivering the order cake at Raffael's office, he was not allowed into Raffael's room.

“Why dream? Can't I go in?” raffael asked the daydream of Jelita.

“It's been night.it's not good to visit at this time.” Answer Jelita. Since then he has not opened the door of his house, and his hand is also still carrying a packet of fried rice that he just bought.

Crew

Suddenly Jelita heard Raffael's stomach. While Raffael only smiled stiffly when found out he was starving. Because since his return from out of town earlier he had not had time to eat dinner, he immediately went to Jelita's house for the sake of his longing. Plus he smelled the aroma of fried rice earlier, making the worms in his stomach scream for filling.

Jelita went into her house without saying anything. Soon he returned with a plate of fried rice he bought earlier and a bowl of water.

“Eat!” jelita.

“No. You bought this rice also must not have eaten, right? I'll buy it myself.” reject Raffael.

“Don't procrastinate eating. Meal only!”

“Don't you forbid me from procrastinating on eating? We better eat alone this fried rice.” said Raffael to give a solution.

Jelita is actually hungry. Finally he had the idea to take another plate to split the fried rice, but unfortunately Raffael prevented it. The man asked Jelita to stay in the chair. Then Raffael began to eat the fried rice alternately. Even Raffael feeds Jelita.

“No, Mas! I can eat by myself.” Reject Jelita.

“Open your mouth, fast!” raffael said in a soft but firm voice.

Jelita could only resign. eventually he was willing to open his mouth to take a bribe for rice from Raffael.

That lonely night was quite romantic for the two of them. Raffael is very happy with a small action like this. it turns off longing for our loved ones not only always with a hug or kiss. Simply doing something as simple as this alone made her very happy. The longing that had plagued his heart for several days had now paid off.

“Actually I'm very kabgen with Ethan. But unfortunately he's asleep.” Raffael said with a sad look.

“Iya. Ethan does if sleep is never night-night. Tomorrow Mas can meet Ethan if he misses him.” replied Jelita with a slightly warmer mood.

Raffael commented on her sweet smile at Jelita's reply. The advice Jelita gave was enough to make her happy. With the reason of missing Ethan, of course, he will also get a bonus meeting with his mother.

“Good. Tomorrow after office hours, I will come here. now I go home first.”

“Ehm, yes. be careful, Mas!” jelita answered wrongly, because Raffael had not taken his eyes off.

Raffael immediately moved from his seat. But he also did not immediately go home because it was like waiting for something from Jelita.

“Ehm, don't you want to do something for me?” ask Raffael.

“Ngak. It'sit's nothing. Yes, I'm home first. You all right? See you tomorrow again.”

“Iya, Mas. Thank you.” Jelita replied quite ambiguously. Is Jelita grateful for missing him or for anything else.

“Thank you for coming tonight. um, I went in first huh?” pamit Jelita and immediately entered the house before Raffael saw his face that had red hue.

***

Time passes so fast. Raffael meets Jelita almost every day. The man showed his seriousness with Jelita. Not only that, Raffael also showed his affection for Ethan. Although Ethan is not his son, if he loves his mother, he must also love Ethan.

Raffael also invited Jelita back to his house for dinner.if Jelita had only come alone, but this time Jelita invited Ethan too.

Abi and Reno warmly welcome Jelita's arrival with her son. Abi loved Ethan so quickly. Especially after looking at Jelita's past, Ethan deserves to get abundant love from the closest people. Reno who was originally flat when she first met Jelita, is now slowly warming up let alone seeing the funny and adorable behavior of Ethan.

“Livy where, Ma? Tumben not joining dinner together?” ask Raffael.

“She's been out since last afternoon with Febian.” Abi replied, even though he was busy feeding Ethan.

Raffael just kept quiet.he did not want to interfere in his sister's romance with a man named Febian. Because he had previously given Livy an ultimatum not to interfere in his affair with Jelita.

**

This weekend Raffael will propose to Jelita. After some time getting to know Jelita deep enough and can convince the woman, Raffael finally pledged his love to Jelita by watching his parents.

The event was held at the home of Ms. Alin. However, Ms. Alin already considers Jelita like her own child. So it is the youth who has full responsibility for Jelita.

The application is very simple. Because it was Jelita's own request. He also did not want to present many people. Enough Raffael nuclear family alone, while from his side there is only Bu Alin only. of course with Ethan.

Jelita tonight looks very beautiful with a simple appearance but looks elegant. Raffael alone until fascinated to see the figure of his future wife who has not stopped reviewing a smile.

The show was quite short. Reno as Raffael's guardian stated the intention of his arrival to Bu Alin was none other than wanting to propose Jelita to Raffael. Ms. Alin accepted the proposal from Raffael. Because from the beginning the woman was well enough to know Reno and Abi.

“For the wedding, we leave everything to the concerned only.” said Reno glanced at Raffael and his future son-in-law.

Meanwhile Livy who was present there since earlier showed just his flat face, he would smile when he got a sharp look from his mother. Because until now Livy is still not willing if her brother is officially engaged to Jelita. A woman who is different from her family.

“Will you be strong in the scope of my brother's association?” livy's mind stared cynically at Jelita.
