I'm Not His Match


Salsa continued her steps towards the mother's cake shop. Wanting to be angry, protesting or jealous about Azka's wedding plans she didn't even have the right. Who is he? After all, Azka must have forgotten herself.


"Mom, Lemper cake 10, Jellynya 15, same Bika Ambonnya 15 ya!."


"Good, Neng. Just a minute!."


"Eh, Salsa bought a cake too!," said Ms. Lia, a neighbor whose house is next door.


Salsa smiled, "Yes Ma'am. Again I want to eat lemper cake!."


The mother looked at Salsa from top to bottom. But his gaze stopped right at Salsa. Salsa who got the look was nervous not playing.


"You want to eat lemper cake?." Salsa smiled and nodded with a smile, "People just crave. Moreover, it seems like your stomach is fat and your stomach is a bit distended!."


Salsa's heart beats so fast. Does it look like her body is changing now?. Is her stomach also beginning to show? Salsa is only 7 weeks old.


"Most eat fatty foods, ma'am. So it looks fatter!."


"This is the cake, Neng!."


Thank God, bathin Salsa. He gave some money to the seller then intended to leave immediately before Bu Lia asked further and further.


"I go first, Miss Lia!."


Lia's mother nodded, but her eyes still noticed Salsa's body shape which she felt changed slightly.


"There's no way a girl as good as Salsa could get pregnant out of wedlock!." Ms. Lia left the market immediately.


Salsa walked to the place where Pak Ari was waiting for her. The old man immediately picked up the groceries that Salsa had brought. "All that, Sa?."


"Already, Sir!."


"Go home, or where you going?" asked Mr. Ari while walking to the car


"Just go home, sir. I have to cook for lunch. Perhaps, your guests have not yet returned!." Mr. Amir simply responded with a nod. After the two got into the car, the driver immediately drove his car to the house.


The journey from the market to the home takes only half an hour. The young mother-to-be entered the house while carrying a crackle containing groceries. In the morning before noon like this, the place is quiet because the children are still in school.


"Have you come home?" asked Mary to welcome her daughter. Then they walked to the kitchen.


"Already, Bun. Here I bring Mother and children's favorite cake, we will eat together ya!." Maria nodded and smiled.


"His guests from Jakarta are home, Bun?."


"It has. Just been here for a minute!."


"Donature?," asked Salsa while putting vegetables in the refrigerator.


"So he made a donation to Panti. He also invited us to his son's wedding ceremony next month"


Salsa frowned, "We're going to Jakarta to fill the study with children so? Isn't there a lot of orphanages in Jakarta?" asked Salsa in surprise.


"Mothers know less too. He said he got our home information from a friend. In addition, he wants to order a souvenir from your shop. He looks very interested, he even wants to meet you in person. Unfortunately she was in such a hurry to have to accompany her husband!."


Salsa does have a business making souvenirs and hampers. For birthdays, weddings or other events. The young woman's business is now starting to develop and is widely known in the last two months. Plus the rapid development of technology is certainly very influential on the sustainability of his business especially in this digitalization age. In addition to selling offline, Salsa also markets its products online. No doubt many orders are received every day.


Mary smiled, "That's it. This is the sustenance of God, we should be thankful. 500 hampers Loh Sal. If you are willing, you can call his number that was entrusted to Mother!."


"500, pretty good too. It's a shame that it was rejected. Did he mention what hampers want?."


"The Quran and prayer beads. He just mentioned that!."


"Alright, Bun. I took his order. Could Mother have just taught it? I'll prepare the ingredients!." Maria smiled and nodded.


"Oh yes, Sal. He also gave us all holiday tickets to Dufan. Your sisters must be happy to be on vacation!."


"It must be a very rich man, Bun. To-you are not nervous!" said Salsa take again lemper bought from the market.


"You ate lemper? Tumben, don't you dislike it?" asked Maria in surprise.


"I don't know either, Bun. Maybe it's baby!."


Maria sighed softly, "You don't want to tell me yet, who is that man?."


Salsa stopped her chewing and looked at Maria. "He's getting married, Bun. Free too, right? He also deserves to be happy. After all, she didn't know that her seeds were growing in my womb!."


Mary looked at Salsa with sadness. Why does Salsa always suffer. As a child he was sickly and everyone who was willing to adopt him, always ended up hesitating and preferring other children. Since then, Maria has been determined to take care of Salsa herself.


Salsa, who saw her mother daydream, immediately embraced the middle-aged woman. "Don't be sad, Bun. Everything must be fine. Let's just say, I'm not his soul mate!."

"Boss, do you hear me or not?" asked Alvin who was furious because Azka had not focused since.


"What?."


Alvin cursed in his heart, if Azka had been like this, his work would have long been done.


"Since I spoke at length but you didn't give me any response!!."


Azka looked at Alvin, the man even looked relaxed without responding to what Alvin had said earlier. "Vin, have you ever doubted anything?."


Alvin looked at his boss, "Don't tell me, you're hesitant to continue your marriage to Salwa?" guess Alvin


"Eitherway. I'm rattled. I love Salwa. In the past, I really wanted to live with Salwa forever. But lately, I've been hesitant to step in with her!." Azka sighed, "In your opinion, what is this natural that I am going through?. People say, a lot of trials ahead of the wedding day!."


"I don't know myself, Boss. I'm not even married!."


Alvin's reply made Azka smile wirily, why did she also ask Alvin.


"Abang started to hesitate because brother kept remembering the mistake brother made to the girl!!."
