Naria "The Sweet Miss of the Charlotte Family"
Kai Family

Leaving the young Miss who was wandering around with the men. At least the middle-aged woman could still breathe a sigh of relief, there were two bodyguards who would guard the princess. Mrs Sook is very confident, the performance of these two bodyguards is much more accurate than the shadow bodyguards who have always guarded her daughter from a distance.

"Well, Papah sure you don't want to know Kai?."

Both Charlotte's eyebrows were made to rise, this question made her bite her lips. Actually, not only was the wife investigating the Kai family lineage, she was the same. Yet....

"He's not Hanan's son" he said after taking a breath and then throwing it away. As if throwing away the feeling of tightness that had been buried in the chest.

"Is he sure?," Sook said.

"sure.... His mother's name is Karlina, not Marina!."

"Karlina.and Marina, what a similar name."

"Like doesn't mean the same, Mah!," sounded resolute. This man took a step back, leaving his wife in the living room.

"Where are you going?, Mamah is left alone!?" exclaimed Sook.

Instead of answering, Charlotte waved her hand without answering, also looking back. His feet stepped towards the top floor, climbing the stairs with a raging mind.

Somewhere else.

During the day, Karlina Kai's mother was busy in the kitchen. Despite having to continue life with all mediocrity, this gentle woman always gave thanks to the creator.

At least he still has Kai, the best son and very responsible for their lives.

"Tomorrow what cake, Karlina?" the voice rattled. Not because of sadness, old age makes a once melodious voice now turn vibrating.

"Cake as usual. Mom, what's up here? the air here is hot."

"Lonely mom in the living room. Cleo was also already asleep," taking a seat on a wooden chair. This old lady named Letta was lonely. Yes, in this simple house there are only the four of them.

"Neither has he come home. Besides you who else my friend is talking to."

"Why don't you sleep, it's late at night," Karlina gently rubbed the back of Letta's hand. As time went on, the hand had shriveled. While still fresh in Karlina's memory, it was this hand that once held her hand and the hand of the husband together while married, uttering a sacred promise of mutual faithfulness.

"Karlina, thank you for accompanying me on my birthday."

Letta's words suddenly cut off Karlina with a headband.

"Mom, we should be the ones to thank Mom. Since the departure of Mas Hanan, we have lost our place to take shelter. If it wasn't for Mom, I wouldn't know what our life is like right now."

Rubbing the cheek of the son-in-law, Letta also tidied the strands of hair that seemed to decompose on the edge of Karlina's face.

"It's my duty, baby. My son has ruined his own little family. I should have embraced you, for together we will strengthen each other."

Karlina shook her head again"No ma'am. That's our lifeline. Stop blaming Hanan, until now we didn't even find the body."

"Maybe it's gone to the bottom of the ocean" Letta said.

"Mother..," said Karlina.

Letta slowly brought herself to sit on the floor, just like Karlina. Adeptly Karlina took a sitting pillow to Letta.

"Karlina, even at this age you are still beautiful. Why not just find a replacement for Hanan." Letta's speech made Karlian round both eyes.

"Don't you love Karlina anymore?."

"It's not like that. It's just, I think you'll live a better life if you marry again. You're still beautiful, your body is still awake, you're still attractive in the eyes of men, Karlina."

Karlina shook her head again"It's mom!. The intention to get married was gone, already gone with Mas Hanan. So I advised my marriage. Okay?!."

"Will you accept me bringing another man here?."

"Hey!!! if he was a good man I would have accepted him" Letta said. Serious or joking, because accompanied by laughter.

"No! I'm not getting married again."

Letta's still laughing"Well, oh yeah my granddaughter why hasn't she come home yet, is she overtime again?."

"I've come home from my beautiful grandmother."

The young man's voice made the two women look back, in unison.

Apparently Kai has been coming since a while ago. Exactly when the Grandmother advised the Mother to marry again. Kai always thumped when the advice was made by the Grandmother, he was afraid that the Mother was bored with the advice until finally agreed to marry again. Nothing, besides his mother, there are other traders who also leave cakes in the shop where they leave cakes. The merchant liked Karlina, and openly paid attention to her mother.

Mr. Toha his name. He's a very nice guy, old bachelor. But.good does not mean to be accepted as a substitute for the Father. Although his departure still leaves questions because his body was never found, the father also left a burden and pain to them. But Kai still loves his father, as well as Cleo. Knowing how much the mother's love for her father was, Kai was very grateful for it. For the sake of his family he is willing to go to college while working.

"God! it's not coming to help Mom adon cake. It was even there," said Karlian.

Kai stepped forward, smiling to hug the Mother"Kai deliberately, let Mother nag. You see, if you ngomel Mother becomes more beautiful."

"Select!!," said Letta.

"If so Grandma often nagged. Let's be beautiful" Letta continued.

Kai chuckled, and so did Karlina.

While breaking down the embrace"If Grandma can't even nag. It's pretty already gone. If Grandma gets prettier, sweeter, Kai becomes diabetic. Grandma doesn't pity Kai?."

I want Karlina to pull Kai's ear, because the son is very good at seducing himself and the mother-in-law. But not until Karlina's fingers in Kai's ears, Letta had already drawn the young man's ears.

"Oho!! you're getting better at gumbal. Who is teaching?? how many women have you killed with a sweet mouth like this?."

"Aw!! aw!! geez Nek. Just one girl. Just oneuuu," exclaimed Kai trying to escape Letta's attack.

Saru chick?? Letta's? or Karlina?. Or.. Is there another woman in Kai's heart?.

Karlina, who knew about Naria, swallowed the saliva.

"Kai---."

Kai grinned, Karlina's hanging speech made her face red. Also Karlian's gaze, as if asking for certainty about who the woman was.

"Yes, mom. Kai's better than Naria."

"Y!!! she's not a girl!."

"Who's naria?" asked Letta.

"Ladies Charlotte, ma'am."

Letta was silent to hear that name. Not because of fear. It's just, it feels like it's been a long time that the name disappeared from his life.
