Matchmaking
Gamelan

"I have no intention other than to make sure you get home well" Arka said in front of Aurora and her mother.

Hearing Arka's reply, Aurora only smiled lightly, but the mother seemed so happy to hear Arka's explanation. Mother assessed, Arka is a good and right man for her daughter.

"It looks like Arka is a good boy, Aurora will be safe when close to him" muttered the mother as she glanced at Arka.

"Mother..., how come you smile yourself?" aurora shocks mom by patting her arm.

The mother who was aware of the claps of her daughter, immediately switched the conversation and ignored Aurora's words.

"Sir Arka is Aurora's coworker?" ask Arka.

"Not ma'am." replied the interrupted Arch as Aurora interrupted her conversation.

"She's my boss, ma'am" said Aurora, who lied to her mother.

"Right? oh Ra, why did you not speak politely to your boss? I'm sorry sir, if my son's behavior is not good," said the mother looking at Arka timidly.

Arka looks confused by the play that Aurora did, she then just replied to the words of Aurora's mother with a light smile. While Aurora sharpens her eyes at Arka, hinting to follow what she says in front of her mother.

The play made Arka feel bad, he glanced at her watch and said goodbye to Aurora and her mother.

"It's dark, ma'am, then I beg you to say goodbye" Arka said goodbye to Aurora's mother.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't say anything here" she told Arka.

"Nothing ma'am, besides I am here to see the state of Aurora alone," said Arka.

"Oh yes ma'am, mom can call me Arka," explained Arka while smiling at mom.

After saying goodbye to Aurora's mother, Arka then walked back to the vespa she parked not far from the Aurora house.

"Mom, I'll take Ark first!" aurora's pamphlet to her mother.

"Ra.., Ra.., he's your boss! you can call her by her name, she's already there!" mother grunts at Aurora.

Aurora then runs after Arka's increasingly invisible steps.

"Arka.., wait...!" call Aurora to Ark.

"Why else, Ra, would you like to ask me for a show let alone in front of mom?" said Arka who looked a little upset.

"I'd like to ask you a favor, just help me once!" pinta Aurora pleads with Arka.

"What can I do for you?" ask Arka curiously.

"I can't explain everything right now, I'm asking for your phone number!" aurora said shyly as she said that.

"Hmm.., we are indeed afraid to meet again yes," said Arka smiling sweetly staring at Aurora's face.

"meaning?" aurora asked astonished at Arka's words.

"Did you remember when I asked for your phone number a few days ago?" tanya Arka tried to remind Aurora during her last meeting.

"When I asked for your phone number, you said you would love it when we met again, and it turns out that today we were reunited" Arka said, pinching Aurora's cheek.

"Work.., leila! my cheeks are bruised like this, want you to add more huh?" aurora was upset.

"Yes, sorry..., sorry..!" sahut Archa's.

"Where's your number?" aurora asked as she pulled out the phone from her pants pocket. Arka then gives Aurora her mobile number.

"Well, I'll call you!" aurora said as she passed leaving the ready Ark on her Vespanya.

"God is indeed destinyin we meet again Ra, even more than that," said Arka while watching the steps of Aurora who walked back to her home.

Lani's Residence

Tok...

"Awhile...!" say someone from inside the house.

Crick...

The door opened, and the mother came out from behind her side.

"Lani.., it just so happens that you've come home, we eat together yes," asked the mother to Lani who had just arrived home after work.

"I'm not hungry..!" sahut Lani brief.

"Well, what a pity! though the father wants us to eat together you know," said the mother to Lani.

"Mr..? which father ma? what man has left his wife and child, whom you call father?" lani shouted with tears that continued to pour out.

"Lani.., what the fuck are you! why are you talking like that?" ask the mother.

"What the fuck did mama say! now mama's clear who the man inside is..!" shouted Lani who was increasingly unable to control her emotions.

Lani's voice was loud enough to be heard by her stepfather. He came out because he heard a noise from the room next to him.

"What's this ma, why is this storm?" ask stepfather Lani who is also the real father of Aurora.

"Now my mother and father answered my question honestly, is it true that you are the father of Aurora, a friend who has been so close to me?" asked Lani in a sobbing voice.

He nodded his head slowly with his face down. Lani who noticed his stepfather's response, grew furious. His hand rubbed the tears several times that kept flooding both of his cheeks.

"So it's true that Aurora said that you left them to marry you?" lani asked with a sharp look at her parents.

"You listen to Mama Lan's explanation first! let me explain slowly, yes," said the mother trying to calm her daughter's emotions.

"Mom want to explain what else ma? do you want to explain if you didn't take the father from your previous wife?" lani said out loud.

Prak....

Suddenly the slap of the mother floated on his cheek.

"Shut up...! you don't need your opinion, because the child in your womb needs his father's recognition and you deserve it!" said the mother with anger so high.

"What's? mama's pregnant? with this guy?" lani asked while pointing towards her stepfather.

"Father was indeed the husband of Lani's mother, but the father was the lover of mama first, we were forced to separate because of parental matchmaking until we lived a new life with each other's partners, each of us, but the two of us were reunited at a school reunion a few months ago" the mother told Lani and her husband.

"But this is not the way, mama has hurt the feelings of Lani and her mother" Lani said firmly.

"Mama's feelings have hurt first when they know they are married and let the mama with a sense of loss, is it wrong for you to love the same person?" asked the mother in a trembling voice.

Suddenly Lani's emotions muffle, she turns to pity on the story of her mother's past which is also painful. Lani's stepfather looked down, as if full of regret for what he did now.

"I don't want to corner my mom, but none of this is true ma..!" lani said while hugging her mother.

"Mama knows mama was wrong, but now this child needs his father more than mama's selfishness," said mama Lani sobbing.
