"Why are you smiling, Mom? Answer what I ask! Don't even smile. Mama don't know what, I'm worried right now? I'm serious, Ma."
"Darling, mom knows what you're thinking. You also know how you feel now. For that, you should also know who your mama is, Zara." Salma widened her smile.
"What does mama mean? Don't tell me you have other plans I don't know about, Ma."
"Of course baby. This mama of yours is not a fool who willingly hands over the precious weapons she has."
"Tell me, Ma. What's mama's plan."
"We'll see" said Salma, smiling. Then, it moved from its place.
"Ih mama. Make it upset," said Zara while looking intently at her mother.
Salma paid no heed to the sharp gaze of her son. He continued to leave Zara's room.
"Mama makes me curious about the plan that he will run later. But ... At least I can be a little calmer now. When you know you will not hand over the certificate to Kania, this heart feels relieved" Zara said with a smile.
"Have a son he wants to take a certificate belonging to his mother's family. Although not very valuable. But I'm also not willing if he gets what he wants."
"Cania. You don't deserve what you want. Because what? Because everything you want will be mine. Belongs to Zara Zahera. Don't dream of getting what you want Kania. Because I won't let you be happy one bit" Zara said as she looked at herself in the large mirror beside her bed.
Meanwhile, Salma was chatting with Burhan in their room. He talked about the match with a slightly sad face.
"Mas, you can't. However, that Kania is also still your child, isn't it?"
"Yes, he is my son. But, I never wanted him to be my son, Salma. There is a sense of unwillingness in this heart, if he is married to the son of Mr. David."
"Mas, let him get married. Perhaps, he wanted to feel like a rich man's son-in-law."
"Salma, honest from the bottom of my heart. I strongly disagree with this decision."
"But this has been Zara's decision, Mas. You can't resist Zara's decision. Because you must know how Zara's heart is. He was a very gentle child and would not be willing to compete in everything. Zara is a child who always gives up. Even if you force Kania to give in, Zara will not agree. Because she knew, Kania was already very happy when she found out you wanted to match your daughter to the subsidiary owner of the famous company."
"You should talk to Zara right away if I choose to match her to the sole heir of the richest family in town."
"The boy is really too good. All right, if that selfless girl really wants to marry into a rich family. Then I'll take him into the family like he wants."
'Heh, that's great. That's what I want. You hate and hate your real children more and more. I'm sure, with this unwillingness, you will make Kania's life difficult in her new family later, ' Salma said in her heart.

At dinner, Burhan returned to talk about the matchmaking they had previously talked about. This time, she wanted to hear the words directly from her two children.
"Previously, you know that I had an offer from Mr. David. He wants to make my daughter his son-in-law."
"You!" Burhan pointed his index finger at Kania who was scooping food into his mouth. Kania immediately raised her head to look at Burhan.
"Yes. What's wrong with me?" ask Kania relax. Previously, he had known that he would get this treatment. To that end, he did not feel shocked anymore now. Because Kania had already prepared her liver before she went to the dinner table this evening.
It was late afternoon at dusk. He who runs out of water goes down to drink. As he passed through the main room which was none other than the room of his mother and father, he accidentally listened to the conversation of his mother and father in the room. It was very painful for him to hear. But that's the real truth. He was never considered a child. And that match was never given up for him.
However, because his heart was getting sicker and he felt that there was no use for him to survive in this house. Kania decides to keep the opportunity to marry the rich man. Even without the willingness of the father.
"Humans have no shame. If you really want to marry Mr. David's son, then you can go to the family's house alone. Take care of your own marriage needs and use another guardian to be the guardian of your marriage."
"Papa. Please don't do that, Pa. Kania's sister is papa's son. Papa can't do that because this isn't fair to Kania's sister." Zara spoke as if she was really a good girl who was ready to be her brother's shield.
"Darling, you don't have to defend him anymore. Don't you know that actually, Mr. David wants you to be the wife of his son? Because you're beautiful, kind, and so, all the goodness is in you, son." Burhan spoke in a very gentle tone to Zara.
Kania who listened to those words quickly clasped her hands to channel the emotions that were controlling the heart. With all his might, he was tear-resistant so as not to fall on the cheek.
I think he wants to laugh now. As his mind rolled back the words Burhan had said just now. 'Good boy? All the good is in you, baby. Cih, basic men don't know anything. Will you be my father, Mr Burhan?' kania asked inwardly to herself.
'O Allah, my Lord. Strengthen your servant's heart. Don't let me cry now. I don't want to look weak in their eyes.' Kania screams in the heart.
Kania woke up from her seat after she was able to master herself. "If you don't want me to get married, then I won't get married." After saying that, Kania moved out of her place.
However, Kania's intention to leave the dining table had to fail because Zara was holding her hand. "Sister Kania wait! Don't go yet. We're not done talking, brother."
