TELL LAURA I LOVE HER
YOU DIDN'T EVEN INTRODUCE YOUR CANDIDATE!

In the living room there are two glasses of syrup and a lady's bag. Laura was so unwell for coming at such an inopportune time. “Fahri, this is put where?” laura asked while showing her the pudding and salad ingredients she bought.

“Put here aja Mom,” Fahri invite Laura who is new 1 time it comes to Syahrul's house. “Look us to Brother's room,” invite Fahri while holding Laura's fingers and pull it to the 2nd floor of the house.

“Mommy ...,” Nazwa immediately shouted when he saw Laura in front of his bedroom door pulled Fahri.

“Assalamu’alaykum,” greet Laura. He saw a beautiful woman in the room besides Shahrul and Nazwa.

“Wa’alaykum salam,” Syahrul and the beautiful woman answered almost simultaneously. Laura approached to shake hands and she approached Nazwa.

“Thank’s for coming. I really miss you Mom,” Nazwa immediately floated his hand asking to be hugged. Laura sat on the bed and hugged her little daughter tightly.

“Princess Mommy hurts what?” laura asked gently as she stroked Nazwa's cheek.

“Just have a fever Mom, yesterday afternoon I slipped and fell in the school fish pond,” Nazwa said.

“Tell me the truth,” whispered Laura. There's no way Nazwa could fall. Nazwa, who knew she couldn't lie to Laura, cried sobbing in the arms of the woman she hoped she could be a mother. Only Laura could tell right away that the story she was telling was a lie.

Syahrul who was shocked by Laura's arrival at his house became very wrong because at that time he was with another woman. Plus now she sees Nazwa crying in Laura's arms. Syahrul felt more and more guilty towards his daughter. He takes Fahri and his female friend out of Nazwa's room. He wanted to give his daughter a chance to tell a story with Laura.

“Mommy can lock the room door?” pinta Nazwa to Laura. Without refuting Laura did what Nazwa asked.

“Now tell me, why you are sick,” pinta Laura.

“I'm sad Mom,” Nazwa started the story. “A Week ago Grandma from Padang contacted Daddy. Ask Daddy to get married again soon and Grandma arranged Daddy with the aunt. I don't like it,” Nazwa back sobbing.

Laura was shocked to hear the reason Nazwa was sick. He did not expect his little girl to experience inner pressure to make him fever. “We must not interfere in the affairs of Daddy and Grandma. They are grown up and think the best for them. Mommy said ‘, right? Mommy will still be there for you even if Mommy is not married to Daddy. You guys are never gonna leave Mommy. So you just calm down. Let Daddy make his decision. Don't you make Daddy a kid who denies his parents,” gently Laura advises his little girl.

“But Mom ...,” denies Nazwa. He did not want the woman sent by his grandmother to be his daddy's wife. Because from the first meeting Nazwa had a bad impression on the woman. He immediately disliked the first meeting with himself and his daddy, the woman immediately gaped spoiled on the arm of his daddy. ‘New acquaintance has been so his behavior.’ Although still a teenager, Nazwa is not a child who cannot distinguish bad women from good women.

“Not there but! Have you eaten?” ask Laura quickly.

“But.”

“We go down yok, we eat then you take medicine. Can go ‘kan?” ask Laura.

“Can Mom,” Nazwa replied then put on her home slippers, and join hands towards the dining room. Laura was shocked at the meeting in the dining room. There he saw Syahrul being taken rice by the woman.

‘How can he eat not take his kids!’ Laura became confused to see Syahrul who seemed not a father she had known all along.

“You sit down first, Mommy prepare your meal yes,” without greeting the two people at the dinner table Laura told Nazwa to sit down and prepare the dishes, but he then remembered Fahri.

“Bik, could you please call Fahri?” pinta Laura is polite.

“Good Non,” the aunt immediately called Fahri in her room.

“You've eaten?” ask Laura sweet.

“Eat with Brother Yes, here Mommy get it,” Laura directly take Fahri rice and vegetables and fried chicken.

“Mommy don't eat?” ask Fahri.

“Mommy is full enough to see you eat,” Laura replied with a sweet smile. He saw that the woman ate without caring, while Syahrul just stirred the rice on his plate without bribing at all.

After the kids ate Laura, they headed straight to the kitchen. Quickly he made his chocolate pudding and fla.  Then he asked my aunt to keep it in the fridge. She asked her aunt to help her cut some fruit for salad. Now he stirred the fruit with salad seasoning and then sprinkled with grated cheese. The salad was deliberately put in a small bowl and then he asked aunt to keep it in the refrigerator. He will immediately leave because it is not good to disturb Syahrul.

“Mommy has made you a fruit salad and chocolate pudding. Now Mommy's back at the hotel. Mommy is still a lot of work because of the seminar,” said Laura to Nazwa and Fahri who was in Nazwa's room.

“Why didn't Mommy stay?” ask Nazwa. She wished Laura could stay longer.

“Mommy is having a seminar baby, you always tell Mommy yes. And don't argue. Follow everything Daddy says. Promise?” Laura hugged Nazwa and then kissed the cheek and forehead of the little girl.

“Yes Mom,” replied Nazwa weakly.

“Salad and pudding are eaten yes?” Laura reminded them both. “Ayok Fahri accompany Mommy down,” Laura would be a bit shy to say goodbye to Syahrul who was alone with his future wife.

“Sorry, I'm saying goodbye. Assalamu’alaykum,” Laura thrust her hand to semit. He felt Syahrul somewhat tighten his handshake, but he did not rub it. He immediately exited the house accompanied by Fahri. ‘Even you didn't introduce your candidate to me Bang.’

‘But I can't be angry, haven't I accepted her love, even though she promised to wait for my answer at any time. He's still a single guy. So it is not wrong if he chose to get bored waiting and turning to the woman of his mother's choice. I cannot be angry and sad!’ Laura immediately motivated herself not to be weak and forget Syahrul. He drove his car to Dago. He wanted to calm his own heart.

“Self?”

“Eh sir August? Again in Bandung too?” laura asked when someone greeted her.

“Yaaah, koq still calling sir anyway,” protest August. He brought his snack and coffee to Laura's table. “You're waiting for a friend?”

“Neg. I'm in a seminar in Bandung until tomorrow. Just finished cooling a friend then a coffee fad first here before returning to the hotel,” replied Laura. “Mas alone, koq alone in Bandung?”

“Tadi fad, gab. Then to your parlor. Until the afternoon there, Bandung muters look for inspiration. Finally got here. I didn't accidentally see you from the message until just now alone. So yes I am samperin,” replied August.

“Wah even went to the orphanage?” ask Laura.
