“Revi your hand is bleeding,” said bu Lusi saw Revi's index finger that was covered in blood.
Quickly Revi picked up the tissue on the dining table.
“You're not careful, look at it until it bleeds like that. Yes let me just clean mama,” pinta bu Lusi.
“Nothing kok Ma, anyways only bleed little.”
“Eat him next time if the work is careful. How will you if you are married clean the vegetables just hit by a knife,” said Bu Lusi while laughing.
Revi just smiled bitterly. Her mother's words had disturbed her mind. His heart is very sick and sad to hear that Rafa will be betrothed to the woman of his mother's choice.
“So how is the continuation of the story bu Dian, Ma.”
“Oh, about papa Kayla.”
Revi nodded his head immediately.
“Bu Dian plans to match her father Kayla with her friend's son bu Dian.”
“Then..” asked Revi again out of curiosity.
“But mama does not know what Kayla's papa wants, because it was Dian's mom new story and Dian's mom has not met her dad Kayla.”
“Coming yes Ma, mas Rafa received the matchmaking.”
“Ya mom don't know either.”
“Women are girls or widows Ma?”
“If he said Miss Dian, the woman is still a girl only has a lot of age. About thirties over.”
“Beauty Ma?” ask Revi again.
Bu Lusi immediately laughed in surprise.
“Why Rev, you seem to care so much about his papa Kayla.”
Revi just smiled when he heard his mother's words.
“If he says bu Dian is beautiful.”
“If beautiful surely mas Rafa want.”
“Not necessarily also, because love will not see from his face but from the nature and behavior as well,” explained bu Lusi.

After entering the room Revi could not close his eyes. Her mother's words had disturbed her mind. His heart was very sick upon hearing the news.
‘Why do I feel like this. Why do I feel sick when I hear Rafa is getting married. I will not be married soon. I shouldn't be thinking about Rafa anymore because I already have a husband. I can't be selfish like this who's selfish. But I don't seem willing if Rafa's married to another woman. I want Rafa to be my husband. Revi. You already have Dandi, so never try to get Rafa again.’ Inner Revi in heart.

After dinner Kayla plays a doll in front of the TV room, while Rafa sits on the porch smoking. Not long after, Dian came out to see Rafa. Bu Dian Take a seat right next to Rafa.
“Mommy hasn't healed well, why are you here?”
“Mothers already miss Kayla, Rafa,” is definitely Dian.
“But Kayla is well Bu.”
Rafa is disappointed to see the arrival of his mother who has not healed properly from her illness. Rafa had previously forbidden his mother from coming to his house because his mother was sick.
“What do doctors say about Kayla disease, Rafa?”
“Doctor Kayla says food poisoning Bu,” explains Rafa.
“Kok can..”.
“Can be aja Bu, maybe from the food eaten Kayla has expired. Because there are many snacks in the stall that have expired but still sold as well.”
“Makanya from now remind Surti, do not like to buy snacks carelessly.”
“Iya Ma'am, earlier Rafa reminded me of Bu.”
“So last night who was keeping Kayla in the hospital while you were working?”
“Rafa to the office just a minute Ma'am because Kayla does not want to be left.”
“Rafa asks Revi for help, Mom because Kayla does not want to be accompanied by bi Surti.”
“Thank God there's Revi. If there is no Revi who tries to keep Kayla.”
Rafa was just silent thinking about his mother's words.
“Makanya mom plans to match you with son Bu Inur.”
“Kid bu Inur?”
“Iya, Inur's son named Dini.”
“This mother is just there anyway,” said Rafa smiled thinly.
“You till when you live alone Rafa. Your child is growing up and needs the love of a mother, so from now on you have to get married so that someone takes care of Kayla. If you work you will be calm,” explained Miss Dian.
“Sorry Mom, until now Rafa has not thought about it.”
“So when did you start thinking about that?”
“Not yet Bu.”
“For the important Rafa the woman loves the same Kayla.”
“But Dini is loving people the same kids. The proof is that his neighbor's children are often brought to play at his house,” explained Ms. Dian again.
Rafa just smiled hearing his mother's explanation.
“Where Rafa is, would you marry Dini.”
“Bu, Rafa hasn't thought about it until now. Rafa is focused on the recovery of Kayla.”
“But you also need a woman who can be your life partner later, as well as being a mom for Kayla.”
“But Mom, Rafa already loves another woman.”
Bu Dian's face immediately shone because he was happy.
“Ya you have already applied directly if you already have another woman. When do you want to lamar. Tell mom, let me prepare.”
“Not now Bu.”
“So when else Rafa. Your age is growing more and more. You also not only need a wife, but you also need another child so there is a friend Kayla. Or next month we apply for the woman?”
“Means mom, Dini?” ask Rafa astonished.
“Yes no, I mean the woman you were referring to. You say that you already have another woman, yes the woman we immediately applied for. How about next month we apply and get married.”
“Let's be Bu,” pinta Rafa.
Rafa immediately shook his head. Bu Dian who is impatient and wants to have a daughter-in-law, immediately urged Rafa to immediately propose and marry him immediately.
“Where was Rafa mother's suggestion earlier?”
“Udahlah Bu later aja.”
“Means you don't love donk same woman.”
“Love time Bu.”
“If you love, why not immediately hastened. When are you ready, or maybe the woman does not want to be like you Rafa?” ask mom Dian suspiciously.
“Entah Bu,” said Rafa in a lethargic tone.
“Loh, why are you in doubt?” ask mom Dian astonished.
“Rafa is still in doubt because the woman Rafa loves is already engaged Bu,” explained Rafa.
“What? You mean, that woman already has a fiancee?” tanya Dian couldn't believe it.
Rafa directly lowered his head.
“You are really weird huh Rafa, likes an engaged woman. Is there no other woman until the engaged woman?”
Rafa only lowered his head because he felt guilty and ashamed of his mother. While Miss Dian immediately fell silent.
