"Assalamuaikum dear, how are you....you..?". said Ayana who had just entered the house of her only son.
"Waalaikumussalam, sorry madam, uh.. I mean Mr. Al is upstairs". Kanaya said, a little nervous because the look of the lung woman from Bayah seemed to want to skin her.
"Since when did my son dare to bring someone's daughter into his house?" thought Ayana who corrected Ayana's appearance from head to toe with a look that was difficult to interpret.
"Who are you, my son?" Ayana said looking at Kanaya's eyes which seemed to feel uncomfortable.
"Sorry ma'am I just...," Kanaya's words were cut off because suddenly Al came screaming from upstairs.
"Assalamuaikum ma... when it's coming, how come you didn't tell me," said Al smiling as he kissed his mother's hand.
"Waalaikumussalam, you naughty boy, I never told you the news, now I'm even bringing someone's girl home, how long have you been dating, Mama said, just get married, the courtship will end after marriage," Ayana said while pinching her son's ear.
"Sorry ma'am, sir, I'm allowed to go back," said Kanaya who felt uncomfortable about the very confusing conditions and situations.
"Eh, why did you even run away who helped me explain to mom, mom... let Al's ear hurt for a moment. Al wants to explain " Al said as one hand rubbed his ear which had fallen from his mother's tug while the other was to hold Kanaya from running away.
"Explain now," said Ayana who had put her hands in front while looking at Al and Kanaya with intensity.
"Ma... she is Rara, a little girl who used to be Al Billy because she just wanted Rara to be closer to Al, now Rara will be Al's wife," said Al who smiled at his mother.
"Rara.....?, do you want to marry Al?". said Ayana in a softer tone asking Kanaya who has the nickname Rara.
"I'm just..... a childhood friend of Mr. Al's past, and now I'm just his assistant and secretary," replied Rara with a smile.
"Why doesn't Rara want to be Al's wife?" said Ayana who suddenly looked sad.
Ayana knows Rara or Kanaya very well, who used to be a sweet boy with chubby cheeks, Al has liked Rara for a long time even when he is sick Al often says that one-day Rara will take care of him because only Rara will be his wife, while Mama will only take care of father, Of course, the words of Al or Little Husi still stuck in Ayana's head.
"Sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to refuse but indeed we just met again and Mr. Al never said he wanted to propose or marry me before," said Kanaya who was confused and couldn't bear to see the sad face of her boss's mother.
"Did you hear that Al?" said Ayana who was indeed her child who seemed to only scratch the back of her head which didn't itch.
Al had never really said he was serious about proposing to Kanaya because Al had just realized that Rara and Kanaya were one person.
"Then forget it, Al, let's go Rara help mama check what food we can make in the kitchen of this house". Ayana said while pulling Kanaya towards the kitchen and ignoring her son.
"Hmmm yes ma'am, uh I mean yes Mama". Kanaya said after seeing Ayana not agree to be called Kanaya with mom, and then Kanaya replaced the call with me, which made Ayana smile widely at her.
"Mom, why did you kidnap Rara from Al?!, Rara only belongs to Al!" said Al who followed his mother and Kanaya walked towards the kitchen.
"Since when has your Rara never applied before!?". said Ayana who looked cynically at Al.
"Oh yes, the plan is later that Al's cousin wants to play here, the names are Leon and Luke, Rara wants to meet Ama, they are handsome, you know," said Ayana smiling at Kanaya and also teasing her son whether he would still bully Kanaya like before if there was a boy who attracted Kanaya's attention more.
"Kanaya doesn't matter who Ama's friends are, the important thing is that she's a good person, Kanaya just wants to know even Ma's friends". Kanaya said with a sweet smile in return for Ayana's smile.
"I can't. Kanaya only belongs to Al". said Al who was already getting emotional.
"Mom didn't ask for your opinion Al, oh yeah, you're already tidy, aren't you going to Al's office?". Ayana asked her son who looked angry.
"No Al won't go anywhere if it's not with Kanaya, Kanaya is Al's assistant and secretary, so Al has to be with Kanaya all the time," said Al who was annoyed but didn't dare say he wanted to be close to Kanaya.
"Yeah, it's just okay if Mam borrows Kanaya for a while, we want to talk together. Besides, you're usually alone, right, Al!?". said Ayana who wanted to prank her child, wanting to know how far Al would question his stubbornness when he was close to Kanya.
"But that was before Al met Kanaya, now it's different that Al can't be far from Kana," Al said the money can be cold and even indifferent and even turn childish because of Kanaya.
"Sorry, sir, it's better if you go to the office, okay, just let Kanaya be here to accompany Mom to cook. Kanaya is only cooking and doesn't go anywhere still at home, father". said Kanya with a reassuring look on Al's.
"No, you can't be far from me anyway," Al said childishly even in front of Kanaya while holding Kanaya's hands.
"Not yet mahram, don't hold it," said Anaya who hit her son's hand fiercely.
"Aw, it hurts Mam," said Al who complained because his mother had the heart to hit his hand hard.
"Come on, Kanya, let's make chicken Balado, stir-fry kale, or just sausage stick soup, just ignore him," said Ayana without caring about her child who suddenly became spoiled.
Al just sits in a chair near the kitchen, watching Kanaya, who turns out to be equally good at cooking, Al is willing to not go to the office today because he doesn't want his idol to be teased by his second cousin. Al wanted to help Kanya cook, but because of his mother's gaze, which was like a laser, he seemed to want to burn her with just a glance.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Auntie.... this handsome auntie's nephew has come with Auntie's order," said Luke in a loud voice. while Leon was silent after saying greetings together with Luke earlier.
"Waalaikumussalam, why are you screaming at my house, this is a house, not a forest," said Al with a lazy look at his cousin. Al just looked at Luke because Al knew Leon's character, which was slightly different from himself, didn't like to be noisy and was talkative when it wasn't important.
"Hey, sorry I'm late," said Lisa who had just appeared at the door.
"You're just like a snail, you take a long time to make up in the car," said Luke with his lazy look.
"What the hell, Luke, whose name is a woman, must look beautiful, right, Leon?" said Lisa who asked for the approval of the other adoptive brothers.
"Yes," Leon answered in a concise, clear, and flat manner.
"Do you want to go in or just here? I want to return to the source of my life first," said Al who immediately left his cousin.
"Sis Al, wait for Lisa to come," said Lisa who followed Al out of curiosity.
"Yeah, why are we left behind?" said Lukas, then seeing Leon who was sitting on the sofa focusing on the cellphone, made him also focus on games and sitting next to his twins.
