Sela was silent for a while and looked at Zahra fixedly. The boy looked into Zahra's eyes expectantly. "Main to Daddy's house, Buna."

Zahra looked at Sela fixedly, looking into those happiness-splitting eyes. A nervous look on Zahra's face when she heard Sela's reply.

Zahra tried to smile and gently rubbed Sela's cheeks. "Tomorrow don't play people's houses anymore, yeah, kid. Not good with their other families," said Zahra afraid. He was afraid that Sela's presence would disturb Kenzo and the others.

Buna why, O Allah? Zahra's mind was saddened upon hearing Zahra's reply. The boy's eyes seemed to be glazed over because of Zahra's words. Without saying a word, Sela ran into the house with tears that had soaked her face.

Zahra who saw that let out a heavy sigh. His hands stretched out rubbing the clear water in the corner of his eyes. "I'm sorry, Mother. Mommy just wants us to be happy, son," said Zahra.

Zahra stood up and walked into the house. Arriving in the living room, Zahra's steps stopped seeing the door of Sela's room that was tightly closed.

Her tears fell because of that. "Never has my son been like this" Zahra said in a trembling voice. In her daily life, Sela never closed the door of her room, except the night while sleeping. Sela will leave the door open, he said so that the Mother can always see herself. But now, the door was tightly shut like it would not open again.

Zahra walked over to Sela's room. His steps stopped when he heard his son's prank. Without cue, Zahra immediately opened the door to Sela's room which was not in the key, but was tightly closed.

"Sela," call Zahra.

Sela who sat on the bed with her head set on both knees turned her head. The boy looked at Zahra with his eyes. The hijab had been removed from his head, but the uniform that looked great was still wrapped in his body.

Zahra sat on the edge of the mattress facing Sela. "Did Mommy hurt Sela?" ask Zahra gently.

Sela simply shook her head to answer her mother's words. There's not much the boy can say. Speaking the truth, she was afraid that she would be further banned by her mother. If not honest, his chest feels very tight once held everything.

"Son," called Zahra once more gently.

Sela shook her head and wiped her tears. The boy straightened his body and looked at Sela. "Definitely want to cholat Ashal first, Buna," said Sela immediately went out of the room to take ablution in the bathroom.

Zahra looked at Sela's departure with a sad look. "I'm sorry, Mother" said Zahra again. I'm just sorry that he can say for now.

.....

Kenzo with a smile expands him carrying the car with Dee next to him. "This is all right, Kenzo? So Sela is Umi's granddaughter? Sela is your son, Ken?" dee asked to confirm what news he got from Kenzo.

After his office, Kenzo immediately went to Ibra's house and was lucky once he met Dee who was watering her plants on the front porch. Kenzo immediately approached Dee and told him everything. The beginning of his suspicions about the identity of Sela, then the work of his men who found all this truth.

Kenzo nodded at Dee's question. "Kenzo didn't dare lie about any of this, Umi" Kenzo said.

A smile bloomed on Dee's lips. Soon he will meet Zahra. The daughter he misses so much.

Sela asked about Zahra's photo. She was looking at her own Mother. Does the kid know everything? But if so, why didn't he tell? What's all this? Why should my grandson feel the way my son used to feel? Why is the bad past always approaching? If this is your destiny, O God, one day give more happiness to Sela and Zahra. For my son and grandson. Inner Dee asked softly. Again and again, the little boy in his family must be forced into adulthood by fate and circumstances.

"Wouldn't we tell the others, Umi? Especially Mother Sofia, Father and Abi?" kenzo asked to stop Dee's daydreaming.

Kenzo nodded in agreement with Dee. If Zahra rejects their arrival like Dee said at noon, it will make things even more complicated.

Don't wonder why Ibra can let Dee go without him. It was because Ibra was having an affair with Al and Aska to discuss opening a new branch of their company, while Kina and Bella were at home.

Thirty minutes, Kenzo's car reached the alley of Zahra's house. "Here's Ken?" dee asked in disbelief to see the small alley.

Kenzo nodded and smiled. "Yes Umi" replied Kenzo.

Dee got down from the car and looked around. Why is it like this, Zahra?" Inner Dee sad. The son of a wealthy businessman, the younger brother of a successful young businessman, the wife of a successful young businessman, and the son of a successful businessman in Turkey live in such a place. Instead of being disgusted, Dee feels like she failed to be a connecting mother to Zahra. He lives well with sufficiency, whereas Zahra? Dee doesn't know what to say.

"Come on Umi" Kenzo asked.

Dee nodded. Dee followed Kenzo's footsteps walking in front of him. For a few minutes, their steps stopped in front of a small house that made Dee's heart feel very torn apart.

"Ken ..."

Kenzo nodded understanding the meaning of Dee's gaze. "Yes Umi" said Kenzo.

Kenzo took a deep breath and tried to reduce his nervousness. After a long time, finally now he will meet the woman who has been a very long time later his presence.

As with Kenzo, Dee could not stem the smile on her lips. Although the eyes did not stop releasing clear water, but his lips strongly showed that he was very happy. The long-empty embrace of Zahra will finally be filled from now on.

.....

Zahra who is currently still in Sela's room turned her eyes to Sela who is praying facing the qibla with a position behind her. .

With great clarity, Zahra could see her son's trembling back. Is my request excessive? But Sela doesn't know who Ken really is. Did I hurt my son so much that in his prayers he cried like that? Inner Zahra looked at the gap.

Zahra's attention was distracted when she heard a knock on the door from the outside. "Who's visiting?" mummified Zahra. Because very rarely people come to their homes.

"Is it possible for a parlor person?" ask Zahra who she knows. Because usually, at a time like this, Ms. Sari who came home with some workers to bring the rest of the food.

"Think that the door wasn't locked. Why do you tap everything Mother?" zahra was confused.

Not wanting to be curious, Zahra stood up and walked out of Sela's room. But before coming out, Zahra looked at Sela who was already in her prostration position. After that he walked towards the door and immediately opened it.

"Vaalaikumsa-"
