The Ring on the Sweet Finger
The Part 26

After finishing sprinkling roses on the tombstone, Kenan immediately invited Maura to go home. "Let's go home" said Kenan.

Maura got up and walked in front of Kenan, with Kenan walking behind her, when she got in the car, Kenan opened the car door, and Maura got into the car. A white car was ready to drive away from the public funeral. Inside Maura's car was silent as she gazed towards the road.

"I know who I am." Kenan broke the silence.

"I still really don't think you're Kenan's alive." Maura turned towards Kenan.

"I've been watching you for years from a distance."

Maura who heard Kenan's words turned back to Kenan. "You mean?" asked Maura.

"Yes, all this time I've been watching you and your family, I always look after you from a distance, so you'll marry a jerk like Panji." explained Kenan while driving his car.

"How do you know if Panji is a jerk, and how did you get to that cafe, did you follow me?."

"I've known for a long time that Panji and your mama have a relationship, but I decided to shut up, because I wasn't ready to tell you who I was, and finally you already know by yourself that Panji betrayed, maybe many people do not believe in your words, if Panji and your mama are in a relationship, so I'm helping you by sending the CCTV footage to your father."

Maura who heard Kenan's words was immediately shocked. "So you sent the CCTV footage to my papa?.

"Yes, because then Panji came to the hotel, and asked the hotel clerk to remove all CCTV footage of your mama and her, by luring her a sizable money, he said, but because all the staff at my hotel were honest, finally the CCTV officer told me, that Panji wanted to sabotage the footage. Very quickly I deleted the tape, but before I deleted it, I sent it to your father Guntoro to make your father believe they had a relationship." Kenan to Maura.

Maura who heard the explanation from Kenan instantly became moved, thanks to Kenan he was finally able to escape from Panji. "Thank you for helping me" said Maura staring at Kenan.

"It doesn't matter because it's my job, before papa and mama die they always tell me to always take care of you."

"Maybe it wasn't for you that I would still be married to the Banner, because no one would believe my words."

"Are you happy to escape the banner? looks like you haven't been able to move on, proof that when I claimed to be your boyfriend, you were angry?." Kenan turned slightly towards Maura.

"Not so Kenan, I just don't want to further aggravate the atmosphere, and I don't want to be blamed because obviously my relationship and Panji is over because Panji's fault is not my fault."

"But you are now happy to escape from Panji?" asked Kenan again because he had not received an answer from Maura.

After a 30-minute journey, they finally arrived at the Maura residence. Maura had gone down first from Kenan, then followed by Kenan who also got off the car.

"Let's go in duku, you have to meet with papa." Maura invited.

Maura had entered his house with Kenan behind him, only the first time Kenan entered the house Maura after many years disappeared, the last time he entered when he was 6 years old. Maura immediately walked closer to her father who was watching TV in the living room.

"Mom.." Calling Maura out suddenly made Mr. Guntoro a little surprised.

Mr. Guntoro who heard Maura's voice immediately turned his head, Mr. Guntoro looked towards Maura as well as the man standing beside his daughter.

"Have you come home, dear?" asked Mr. Guntoro.

Kenan immediately walked closer to Mr. Guntoro to shake hands. "How are you, healthy right?." asked Kenan while peeping Mr. Guntoro's hand.

Mr. Guntoro who saw the man in his house immediately thought that the man was Maura's new boyfriend. "It's a pity that you moved on from Panji, already got a replacement?." asked Mr. Guntoro staring at his daughter.

"He's not Maura pa's girlfriend, he's Kenan's son om Galuh and Aunt Anisa." Maura was sitting on the sofa. "Let's sit Kenan, think of it as your own home." Maura had invited Kenan to sit down.

Mr. Guntoro who heard Maura's words was a little confused. "What do you mean Maura?."

"This is Kenan pa, his son Galuh and aunt Anisa." replied Maura again.

"You're all there, Kenan's son o Galuh and aunt Anisa died 20 years ago, you don't think that's not okay, that's not good." mr. Guntoro did not believe his daughter's words.

"Let's explain to Papa Kenan, let me believe, you never believe what I say." Maura who was staring towards Kenan who was sitting next to her.

"What Maura said is true om, I am Kenan son of om Galuh and aunt Anisa, I survived an accident 20 years ago."

"Have you lied, must not lie like that, obviously Kenan is dead, even I also saw his body buried next to the tomb of Galuh and Anisa, you do not lie yes, yes, don't fool me and my son."

"Nobody cheated papa, Kenan's time in the hospital was exchanged with the body of another person whose name is almost the same as Kenan pa, Kenan pa, then Kenan adopted by someone whose son died buried next to the tomb om Galuh and aunt Anisa." It was Maura, for her father to believe.
