The Love I Don't Miss
Part 56 (Memory in the Middle of a Party)

As all the invited guests sat in the seats, and some children chose to play in the playground, the MCs began to perform their duties as soon as the Kenzo family almost reached the cake table.

MC opened a festive party with great joy. The two costumed clowns Princess Aurora and Prince Philip were already entertaining at the front of the stage. Greet every child in their cute style.

Calina stood to the left of Clarice, while Kenzo was to the right of Clarice. And Galen's on Kenzo's left arm.

As the MC was guiding the event, Calina's gaze combed through the entire room. They ended one by one the invited guests who came. Not a single guest from the company Adhitama was invited. Because Kenzo didn't want that.

Of course because the wife is not ready to be known by the people in there.

Calina's eyes look bright, when she sees the mother sitting in one of the front seats. Then the look in his eyes moved to the right, and found a pair of Lords and Madams whom he respected a lot.

They are her own in-laws, Mr. Adhitama and Mrs Nuritha Adhitama.

Seeing them sitting in the front row, and throwing a smile at him, the heart of the village flower was filled.

Memory brought him back to turn the clock. The time he had felt was very difficult at that time. To cry next to her little daughter, she fell asleep.

For a widow to marry a virgin is not easy. Especially to get the blessing of prospective in-laws who incidentally his wealthy family. Like widows in general, Calina also faced such a thing.

🍄 Flashback On . . .

"Are you sure you're going to marry a divorcee?" ask Mama Nuritha. His tone sounded very serious and did not play. To stab the interlocutor's ear, even the entire room.

"Yes, Ma!" answer a short 31-year-old. One of them is Kenzo Adhitama. His own first son.

"Are you sure she's a good woman?" ask Mama Nuritha again. This time there was a slight disappointment in his voice. But it is clear that the woman aged past half a century was holding back all the tightness she felt.

"Kenzo sure, Ma!" kenzo replied confidently, "Mama shouldn't worry too much! Kenzo knows Calina and her family.

"If she's a good woman, then why did she file a divorce with her previous husband? And without her knowing she's pregnant? Divorce while pregnant is not allowed, Ken!"

Sighing heavily, "Mama must know why someone must give up from the twists and turns of his household. And Mama would know, why would someone choose to jump from the ship and swim to the beach, rather than having to survive in a ship that almost sank?" kenzo answered, turning around. The mindset of Mama Nuritha as a woman. "Regarding Calina's pregnancy, Kenzo had said from the beginning, she didn't know she was pregnant!"

Mama Nuritha took a deep breath. He knew all the explanations his son meant. But accepting a one-child widow to be his son-in-law doesn't seem easy.

He really wanted his eldest son to get married and have children. He can't wait to be able to hold a grandchild at the age of 56. But if you have to have a step-grandchild it is also not an easy thing for his social life.

"What exactly is Janne lacking for you, Ken?" mama Nuritha asked, "she is beautiful, smart, single and also comes from the same circles as us. Moreover, you guys have been friends since childhood!" mama Nuritha. "You also know what the struggle is like to get more attention than just a friend of yours. He's been waiting for you all this time, Ken!"

"Kenzo has thought of everything mature - mature, Ma. And just because we were best friends since childhood, Kenzo didn't want to ruin it" Kenzo replied. "Because being married to a friend doesn't necessarily make our relationship much better."

Breathing deeply in disappointment, "Have you forgotten, she was once injured for saving you?" mama Nuritha asked, spinning Kenzo's old memories with the blonde.

"Do all the good of a friend have to be repaid by following all his wishes?" ask Kenzo back. "Should Kenzo repay Janne's kindness with a false love?"

Kenzo said, staring into Mama Nuritha's pair of eyeballs.

"It won't just hurt her, but rather torture Kenzo, Ma!"

"But Janne's spine?"

"Kenzo has prepared the best treatment in America. Janne's got a job there in a few months. So at the same time seek treatment so that his spine returns to normal."

"Kenzo! It's not that easy, Ken!"

"Does his parents agree?"

"Yes, they agreed!" answer Kenzo quickly.

Mama Nuritha squinted her eyes. I can't believe Kenzo's answer.

' Is it possible that Jeng Nayra could just as easily take off her daughter going all the way there and take off Kenzo? '

Ask Mama Nuritha inwardly. It doesn't feel like it's going to be that young to disconnect Janne from getting close to Kenzo. Mama Nuritha knows Janne's tenacity to get Kenzo all along.

"Did Janne know you were going to marry Calina?"

"Yes, Mom! Kenzo can no longer hide who Calina is in front of Janne! Kenzo doesn't want to give Janne false hope!"

Hearing Kenzo's reply which sounded firm, straightforward and clear, the entire room grew quieter. The four humans inside the central room of the Adhitama house were just lyrics to each other.

From that moment Gilang and Mr. Adhitama were only listeners to the conversation between the mother and the child. The two men who chose silence on appeal must argue. Considering everything is so complicated.

The Adhitama family and Janne's family relationship is very good. A series of cooperation that always reaches an agreement and success is certainly worried if until their relationship deteriorates.

In addition to the two men who were only listeners, there was also another one who was a listener behind the wall.

It was Calina Agasta. She came to Papa Adhitama's house, to give her cooking to her future father-in-law by leaving Clarice in the apartment with Mama Shinta.

But who would have thought he actually heard the most painful conversation. After Kenzo proposed to her last night, it turned out that Mama Nuritha had not been able to accept her status as a widow, and a villager.

Hearing what the two people were talking about in the living room, Calina's legs shook. Like he can't stand on his own feet. Mama Nuritha's attitude is clearly different from the attitude of the late Mama Reni. The in-laws who loved him were like their own children from the very beginning.

Calina, who could no longer hear the continuation of their conversation, chose to bring the food to the kitchen. Put it on the dining table. Leave it to a maid in the kitchen who is cooking.

After that he came out of the three-story mansion. Waiting for the taxi he ordered through the app. Without feeling it, tears just dripped.

When he married a man who did not love him, he got an angel-hearted in-law.

But when he wants to marry a man who loves him as he is, he finds the prospective in-laws who actually do not want him.

Calina is already in an online taxi, sitting in the backseat dreamy. What must he do to take Kenzo's parents' heart.

Especially before this, he had been visited by Janne, a blonde girl who became Kenzo's best friend. Women who always stick to Kenzo wherever they are.

🍄 Flashback Off . . .

Return to the magnificent five-star hotel Ballroom. Now Calina and Mama Nuritha throw each other a smile from a distance of several meters.

The rock that once blocked her ship from sailing is now the Fairy Godmother in the dark. Become the best speaker after Mama Shinta.

"Happy Birthday to you..."

In the middle of Calina's daydreams about the past, without feeling now all of Clarice's friends have gathered at the table to sing happy birthday song.
