Ardi took Ansel from Zahra's lap, the man was afraid that later Ansel would cry if too long in Zahra's lap, “you have not answered my question. How do you know my home and why you came to my house? Is there something important, that you want to talk to me about?” tanyanya.
Zahra patted her own forehead, “astaga, because she saw the cuteness of my sister's son until I forgot my intention to come here,” he said.
There was a knock at the door.
“Who else is coming.” Ardi then stood up, “I open the door first,” he said. The man then walked towards the main door.
“Matteo!” ardi exclaimed in surprise when the door was fully open.
Matteo showed a smile on his face, “hai, Brother. Is Zahra done?” tanyakanya.
Ardi scrunched his forehead, “is done? What does it mean?” tanyanya's confused.
Zahra walks towards the door, “ah...Matt. Sorry, because of the chatting preoccupation I forgot that you were waiting for me in the car,” he said.
“So you came here with Matteo?” asked Ardi surprised.
Zahra nodded her head, “iya, Sister. Actually I came here wanting to restore this.” Zahra took a rectangular object, there was the name Ardi Raditya Pratama, “ini had an older brother
right?” ask him and give up the thing.
Ardi received the object, which is none other than his own ID card, “kok KTP I can be in you?” tanyanya's confused.
“I found this on my home page, maybe it fell by accident,” Zahra said.
Disappointed on Ardi's face, the man thought the girl had come to see him and talked about something related to him. But it turns out.wrong!
Arka who was curious about the girl who came to see her brother finally decided to see the girl.
“Where are they, why aren't there?” Arka walked out of the house, she saw her brother was chatting with a girl and also a girl
youngling.
Arka walked over to them, “why did you even chat outside?” tanyanya. Ansel who was in Ardi's sling held out his hands, it seemed like the little baby was asked to be carried by his father.
“Ansel darling, here equals father. Kasian Om Ardi from earlier carried you on,” said Arka then took Ansel from her brother's sling.
“So Kak Ardi said Ansel is Kak Ardi's son, but why did this brother say that this brother is about Ansel?” zahra asked as she scrunched her forehead.
“Sorry, Ansel is actually my sister's son, Arka. But I've thought of it like my own son,” said Ardi took swiping Ansel's head.
“I think this tiny baby is also his son Ardi,” Matteo said.
Arka looked at the girl who was standing in front of her brother, “if you may know who you are? how come I never saw you guys come to this house?” tanyanya.
“Iya, Brother. We just got here for the first time. I'm Zahra, and this is my friend Matteo,” Zahra said with a smile.
“She's her cousin Kenzo's sister whom I told you about earlier,” explained Ardi.
“O..aku Arka, his sister Kak Ardi. This little boy Ansel, my son,” said Arka while kissing his son's two cheeks.
“Let's go in first, it's not good to chat outside,” invite Arka and then walk into the house.
“Come in,” invite Ardi and instantly get a nod from Zahra and Matteo.
They walked into the house. Ardi invited them to sit down, while Arka called his wife to make drinks for her brother's guests. Kay and Lina walked into the living room
while carrying a tray containing drinks and snacks. Kay put the tray on the table.
“They are who dear?” lina asked as she looked at Matteo and Zahra.
Matteo and Zahra stood up and kissed Lina's hand, they also introduced themselves.
“Zahra has been living in Japan, Ma. That's why he doesn't know all his friends Kenzo,” explained Ardi.
“Wah, what college major? Why go all the way to Japan?” ask Lina curiously.
“Medicine, Aunt. But now I don't study there anymore, I want to study in Jogja, so I can always be close to Mama and Papa,” he said while staring at Ardi. Ardi brushed off his smile as Zahra
stared at him.
“Then the young man next to you is your lover? He is very handsome, you guys look very harmonious,” praise Lina.
Ardi who heard his mother's praise for Matteo was very upset, he did not like to see his mother who even betrothed the girl with the young man who was now sitting in front of him.
“Prayer, Aunt. Hope we really are a match. I have been waiting for Zahra's answer for 3 years, but not yet answered,” Matteo said as he glanced at the girl sitting next to him.
“La..why, you guys when it is very suitable?” ask Lina curiously.
“Ma, gone. Why did Mama interfere in their affairs,” rebuked Ardi.
“Honey, Mama also wants to have a daughter-in-law like Zahra, she is very beautiful. And that look of the eye remembered Mama with the look of the eye.” Lina seemed to be remembering where she saw those eyes.
“It was like an eye gaze, Kay, Ma,” Arka said.
“Ah..yes, Kay's eye gaze. You have the same eyes,” said Lina as she looked at Kay and turned to look at Zahra.
Kay and Zahra looked at each other, they both brushed off their smiles. Ardi did not want to extend this conversation, he also tried to divert the conversation. The man didn't want his family to arrive
knowing his feelings for the girl.
“Matteo, Zahra please in drinking,” bargain Ardi.
“Because to keep chatting, Auntie forgot to let you drink. Come on drink first, do not hesitate,” bargain Lina. Matteo and Zahra nodded their heads. They took a drink from the table and gulped it down.
“Zahra, if I may know, do you have an older sister? If you have, please introduce your son Aunt, Ardi,” pinta Lina.
Zahra scrunched her forehead, “meaning Auntie how ya, I don't understand?” tanyanya's confused.
“Zahra, you do not dread the words of Mama I,” said Ardi felt very embarrassed by the attitude of his mother who suddenly asked Zahra.
Arka who saw her brother who looked very agitated, finally decided to take her mother away from there. At first Lina refused, but after Kay persuaded her, Lina finally got up from her seat and stepped away from Ardi and her two guests.
“Excuse my Mama's attitude, yes. Consider me Mama I never spoke to you guys,” Ardi said as he brushed off his smile.
Zahra and Matteo just nodded in understanding. But in the girl's mind there were many questions. About why his mother Ardi to ask if he has a brother or not, and more make him
curious, why her mother Ardi seemed to want to find a mate for Ardi.
Matteo invites Zahra to go home, the girl nods her head. They then moved from their seats.
“Sorry, Brother. We have to go home first,” said Zahra.
Ardi nodded while brushing his smile. Although it felt heavy to let go, but he felt relieved to see the gaze of those eyes for quite a long time. But there was a slight incident that made him a little embarrassed to see the attitude of his mother.
How could his mother ask Zahra that question. Fortunately Zahra did not ask much, but if at that time the girl asked with what the purpose of her mother's question, then she would not be able to answer it. He was afraid that Zahra would be shocked when he found out her true status. The fact that he has failed twice in marriage, became a widower twice.
