THE UNMISSED PEBINOR
Chapter Twenty Five. PYTDS.

Naya awaits Kenzo's arrival in front of her boarding house. The woman is afraid of slander if anyone sees a man coming to the boarding house.

Not long after, Kenzo's car arrived. The car entered the Kost Naya courtyard. Kenzo got out of the car and approached Naya.

"Is he ready?" ask Kenzo.

"Udah."

"We're going straight away, are we?"

"Can. There's nothing we've been waiting for anyway?"

Kenzo took Naya into the car. Kenzo asked Naya to sit in the back seat or passengers. Kenzo sat in front with the driver. Kenzo deliberately invites the driver so that there is no gossip if the two of them are in the car.

Kenzo asked the driver to drive the car at moderate speed. During the trip, no one spoke. Just silence. Kenzo finally opened his voice.

"Have you ever been to the top?" ask Kenzo to open his throat.

"Which I remember, never. Don't know when it's a kid."

"Later we go straight. Lunch at the villa."

"Whatever Kenzo's brother, I'm following."

Kenzo asked the driver to go straight to the top. Arrive at the family villa at around 12 p.m. Kenzo takes Naya to where her family is gathered.

In a room there were a few people gathered. They looked at Kenzo and Naya. Kenzo then introduced Naya to his entire family.

"Include this, Naya," said Kenzo nervously.

"So this is Naya?" said a mother. Her face looks very beautiful even though she is middle-aged.

Naya greets the entire Kenzo family one by one with a smile that continues to adorn her lips. The middle-aged woman who turned out to be Kenzo's mother asked Naya to sit down.

"Please sit, must still be tired" said Mama Kenzo.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Because everyone has gathered, how about we have lunch soon," said Alana.

All the members stood towards the kitchen. Naya approached Kenzo and pamit to perform the prayer before lunch. Kenzo escorts Naya to one of the rooms. After that Kenzo followed his family. They gathered in the garden behind the villa.

Among all the villas on site, this villa is the largest. It consists of six bedrooms. That is why it is always a place for family gatherings.

"Where, Naya?" ask Mama see Kenzo's own way.

"Naya pray, Ma. Later if you eat first, afraid to miss the prayer time long."

"It's lucky to find that, Naya," said Kak Alana with a smile towards Kenzo.

"What the hell, brother?" ask Kenzo. The man sat next to his mother. Kenzo hugged the woman's arm.

Kenzo is the youngest child in the family. Her two older sisters are married and live abroad following their husbands. Since the entertainment world, Kenzo bought an apartment and lived alone there. Kenzo only comes home when there's a family event like this.

One by one the family took the food provided. Sit where they like. There are those on the swing, near the pool, or sitting on the grass. They don't eat at one table.

"Aren't you eating?" ask Mama.

"I'll wait for Naya."

"Do you like that woman?"

"What question is this? There is still a husband, but he is in the process of divorce."

"Mama didn't ask about her status. Mama asked, do you like Naya?"

"Every man who has known her, must have liked a woman like Naya."

"Isn't it because she looks like Syifa?" ask Mama.

"I don't know, Ma. Why did Mama ask that?"

"When I saw Naya, Mama immediately imagined Syifa. You know, the beginning you are interested in Naya must be because her attitude and face are so similar to Syifa. Remember Kenzo, if you like Naya just because her face is so similar, you better forget Naya. Don't make Naya just an escape."

"But Alana says that you often tell stories about Naya. You're a little obsessed about wanting to have because her face looks like Syifa' right?"

"Ma, I've forgotten Syifa. Why remember the past. Life goes on. Maybe it just so happened that Naya looked like Syifa. Maybe I like women who are as gentle as the nature of them both."

"Don't let you approach Naya just because her face and nature look like Syifa."

Naya who just finished praying joined in the back garden. Kenzo waved as Naya searched for her whereabouts. Naya smiled with Kenzo's mom and sat down next to the woman.

"Have you finished your prayer?"

"Udah, Aunt."

"If we eat. Kenzo is waiting for you."

"I'll get it for you" said Kenzo. The man stood up from his seat.

"Let me take it myself. Auntie wants me to get it."

"Let Kenzo get me aunty. Thank you, yeah."

Kenzo, Mama and Naya eat in a garden chair overlooking the rice fields. Behind the villa there are many rice fields and gardens owned by local residents. The beautiful place makes the Kenzo family very fond of this place.

"Naya, who do you live with?"

"I'm a hostess, Auntie."

"Old people are in the village?"

"No, Aunt. My parents are both gone."

"Sorry, Naya. Aunt doesn't know."

"Not what, Auntie."

"Aunty heard that you are in the process of divorce with your husband. Are you still living in a roof?"

"I'm kost myself. If we still have one roof, I think it's awkward. We won't be separated either."

"I'm sorry. Not that Aunt wants to know and interfere."

"Not what, Auntie. Everyone will know if my husband and I are separated."

"Do you want to stay with Auntie?" ask Mama Kenzo.

Naya was silent, not answering Mama Kenzo's question. Naya was still thinking about answering. Because Naya doesn't want the answer later to be offensive to Mama Kenzo.

"Sorry Auntie, does Aunt live alone?"

"Yes, Naya. Aunty at home only accompanied by three workers."

"Papa Kenzo is dead?" asked Naya in a soft voice.

"Papa did not die, but left us. After deciding to remarry, Papa chose to be single with his young wife" replied Kenzo.

"Sorry, Auntie."

"Not what, Naya. Aunty gave it all away. There is no point in keeping people who do not want to settle in our hearts. Let go and let him go. It's free we fight, if what we fight for doesn't want to be together. Struggling alone won't produce anything."

"Papa left my mom when I was a kid. I was nine years old then. I who still needed the attention of both parents became a little mischievous. I'm angry that Papa would rather live with another woman and her child than me" Kenzo said.

"Not a little naughty. However, as a teenager Kenzo never went the wrong way. See you in a good girl. Kenzo changed because of the girl."

"Surely she's a special woman so Kenzo can change."

"You are special too. Auntie likes your attitude. Do you want to stay with Auntie?" ask Mama Kenzo again.

Naya smiled in response to Mama Kenzo's question. Actually Naya wanted to accompany Mama Kenzo, but she was afraid that there would be misunderstandings. Because the divorce process has not been decided by the court.
