On a busy morning, Zea was preoccupied with rubbing chocolate jam over her bread. The mother was frying a nugget for her little daughter's provisions to school.
This is the second day Marisa works in Alvero's office, although she feels uncomfortable, but has already moved to the city making her unable to retreat again. The little girl who was preparing bread for her mother and herself.
"Zea, what's your school?" Tanya Marisa who now takes out the rice from the rice mold in the shape of a bear.
"Great fun Ma, Zea has a lot of tea there, but Ma, Zea pity her with Zea, she doesn't have Mama, just like Zea who doesn't have Papa." Zea still smeared more jam on her own bread.
"Zea has a father. Zea should be grateful dong." Marisa said that now arrange nuget and also add boiled corn that has been cut along with Zea's favorite broccoli.
"Mama, is Papa Zea Andi's father? Why did Andi's father marry Mother Sheryl why not stay with us aja Ma?" Zea asked innocently, all this time the little girl had harbored the question herself for not wanting to hurt her Mama.
"Darling, it's not so, Mother Sheryl and Andi's father had already considered Zea like their own daughter dear, so that Zea would not lack affection." Marisa closes Zea's box.
"Where is Papa Zea Ma?" Zea asked who was still curious.
Marisa was silent, the question, unexpectedly coming out of the little girl's mouth, should she have prepared the answer.
"Emmm, that's, um later on Mama's story." Marisa dodged, there was no way she would lie with her little daughter.
"Mama is sad if the story Papa, Zea never saw Mama cry when Dad said Papa." The little girl smiled as if saying 'don't be sad Ma'
"Honey, don't think about it yet, Zea's a good kid, right?" Marisa did not want to look sad in front of her daughter.
"Yes Ma, Zea knows Mama. We'll have breakfast first yuk Ma will be late."
Marisa smiled, She is grateful to have a beautiful and intelligent daughter like Zea, although sometimes Zea's chatter makes her very anxious, but Zea's daughter is very sweet.

Zayn and Zea are now on a break to enjoy the provisions they brought from home.
"Zayn, why aren't you eating?" Zea approached Zayn who did not touch his box, and just stared lazily at the blue box on his desk.
"I don't like Aunt Zea's cooking, I drink boxed milk." Zayn took the milk box out of his bag.
"Don't drink Zayn's milk first, we eat rice first, you want to try my Mama's cooking no? It's delicious, huh." She said Zea picked up a spoon and fed Zayn with the rice and nuggets that Mama had prepared this morning.
"Can I taste it?" Zayn asked doubtfully.
"May, you try first, if you like tomorrow I tell Mama to make you too. Come Ak.." Zea pointed the rice inside over the spoon into Zayn's mouth. Then Zayn devoured Zea's mouth.
"Where?" Zea asked curiously, her eyes twinkling with sweet words coming out of her siblings.
"Emmm, this is delicious Zea, Mama you're good at cooking." Zayn is enthusiastic.
"Emm, that's it, Mama I'm a cook. Now than the food you do not eat, let me eat your provisions yes, you eat my supplies only. Later stock box you I bring home so tomorrow in masakin Mama, I do not want if you bring my stock box, it's my favorite because. I had a lot in my old town, but I only brought one, and that's my favorite." Zea said with a chat.
"Zea you're chatty as well." Zayn laughed and ruffled Zea's bangs.
Zea was happy to cheer Zayn up.
"Well, this Zayn is so tender, why don't you eat? You don't like Zayn's beef?" Ask Zea who enjoyed the food Zayn brought.
"I don't like Auntie's cooking, I like your Mama's Zea's cooking, tomorrow I ask you again, let my Papa send groceries to your house." Zayn.
"Emm, I can, in this world no one is free Zayn." The two boys who were still both innocent were laughing on the sidelines eating it.

Marisa was already in the car with the driver who was going to take her to pick up the little boy that Alvero meant yesterday.
"Sir Sardi, whose name is that child?" Tanya Marisa who is already in the car with Mr. Sardi Alvero office driver.
"Em, Young Master Zayn Ma'am Sarah." Said Mr. Sardi while glancing at Marisa who was in the back seat.
Zay? Name Zayn?? Ah, maybe just a coincidence. Inner Marisa.
"Is Zayn Mr. Alvero's son?" Marisa asked curiously.
"No, he's Mr. Elvan's son, Mr. Alvero's brother. If Mr. Alvero was his wife still pregnant." Said Mr. Sardi.
Zayn's Mas Elvan's son, so he's my son. I'm going to pick up my son now? Unknowingly, Marisa shed her tears.
"Pity Young Master who since the baby has no mother, Mr. Elvan's wife died while giving birth to her son Bu." Said Mr. Sardi continuing his words.
Duars. Marisa's heart seemed to explode, how her little son lived without affection all this time, could it be the same as Zea who did not get the love of her biological father, but Zea has Andi who is very sincere about her.
Again his tears rolled down his cheeks.
"This is Miss Sarah's tissue, indeed the people who heard the story about Young Master Zayn will definitely cry." Said Mr. Sardi handing over a box of tisue to Marisa.
"I'm reminded of my son Sir." Said Marisa who was still sobbing.
Mr. Sardi just let Marisa cry, he didn't want to ask further.
The road to school was not so far away, the black car owned by Alvero company was stopped in front of the school entrance, where parents usually pick up their daughter's son.
So Zayn went to school in the same place as Zea. Inner Marisa.
Marisa got down from the car, from a distance she was sure the little boy was Zayn. He approached Zayn who had been waiting for him, while Mr. Sardi was still in the car.
"Hallo's a handsome boy." Sapa Marisa who was crouching in front of Zayn, looked at her little son fixedly.
Zayn was silent, his heart was pounding, he felt the same way that Zea touched him. But the feeling goes deeper.
"Zayn's waiting for Aunt to pick him up." Marisa's heart was sliced, she had to give up her biological son whom she gave birth to called her 'Tante'.
"Mama.." Zayn cries and hugs Marisa.
Marisa cries and returns Zayn's embrace. But wait, why did Zayn call her Mama.
"Mama, Zayn kangen Ma, why Mama only came to Zayn's dream, Mama never masakin Zayn Ma. Zayn always went on hunger strike and told everyone that Zayn only wanted Mama's cooking instead of Aunt's. Zayn's got a Mama like they said." Zayn cried again and hugged Marisa even tighter.
Marisa came crying, returning Zayn's embrace tightly. His little son was so fragile because he did not feel his affection all this time.
Forgive Mama Zayn. Marisa could only bathe, while her face had been soaked by tears.
"Just allow Mama's embrace to be this warm. I know, I've been feeling it a lot even in my dreams, but Papa says Mama's already in heaven, and that Mama's embrace is only in the dream never coming true." Zayn's getting sobbing.
Marisa was just speechless, unable to speak anymore, letting the little man spill her heart.
"Mom don't stay in Zayn ya Ma, Zayn wants to tell everyone that Zayn has Mama."
"I'm sorry what's going on? Zayn, why are you crying baby?" Ask the Teacher.
Marisa wiped her tears.
"Sorry ma'am, I'm Mr. Alvero's secretary who'll pick up Zayn." Marisa said standing up.
"Sorry, according to procedure, we will confirm with Mr. Elvan as Walinya Zayn yes. Can come with me to the office for a minute." Said the Teacher.
Marisa and Zayn follow Guru Zayn, after successfully contacting Elvan and confirming with Alvero, Marisa is finally allowed to bring Zayn home.
"Mama, Mama anywhere, Zayn misses Mama a lot." Said Zayn who kept hugging Marisa while they were already in the car.
"Zayn, this aunt isn't Zayn's mother dear." Marisa's petals are full of clear liquid that she can't stand. Her own words were so heartbreaking, not admitting her own flesh and blood made her feel evil, selfish mother was she?
"But Mama always comes in Zayn's dreams, Zayn likes to go to bed early to meet Mama longer. Ever since Mama came across Zayn's dream, Zayn's happy Ma." Said Zayn who still hugged Marisa tightly as if afraid if she lost her Mama again.
"Sorry Mother Sarah, it's best to just leave Young Master like that, it seems like he misses his mother a lot." Said Mr. Sardi.
Marisa also stroked her son's hair.
"Beautiful mom like Zea?" Said Zayn who looked at Marisa's face, her little hands wiping away the mother's tears.
"Zayn knows Zea?" Marisa's asking doesn't believe it. Zea did go to school in the same place as Zayn, but he did not expect that among the many classes and students, Zayn could know Zea.
"She's Zayn Ma, she's a big deal, but Zayn likes Zea." Zayn said recalling Zea's adorable behavior.
"Zea is a dear aunt's son." Marisa.
"Zea Mama's son? Then when can we play with Ma? Want Ma, Zayn will not be naughty. Zayn hasn't played with Papa in a long time." Zayn lowered his head sadly.
No Zayn, Grandpa Darma will definitely not let us close. I'm sorry Mama Zayn, it's not time we were with Zayn yet.
"Why is Mama silent? Is Mama upset that Papa's about to marry Aunt Silvia?" Asked Zayn innocently.
"Papa Zayn is getting married?" Marisa asked who was quite surprised by Zayn's words.
"Zayn didn't know Ma, but said Aunt Silvia, They would get married so Zayn had a Mama, but Zayn didn't like Aunt Silvia Ma." Zayn hugged Marisa's body again, looking for the peace she had longed for.
So, because of this Mas Elvan never found out the truth about me and Zea. Poor Zayn, sorry Mama Nak, the wrong Mama should be you with Mama. Mama promised, Mama will find a way so that we can be together dear. Marisa kissed Zayn's head.
Zayn continued to hug Marisa, not wanting to get away from the figure he had long missed. Until Alvero's office, Zayn still holds Marisa's hand. Marisa takes Zayn to Alvero's room.
"Excuse me sir." Marisa said after knocking on the door and was allowed to enter.
"Eh, Yes Marisa, uh Sarah, I'm sorry." Alvero shut her mouth. "The giant Uncle's weapon has arrived, why his eyes are swollen, exhausted in the pinch of Mama, uh Uncle Aunt Sarah means yes. because Zayn is naughty" said Alvero.
Zayn was just silent, he smiled sweetly made Alvero confused because usually Zayn will glare if he made a mistake, including mentioning the word Mama.
"Uncle, thank you for meeting my mom." Said Zayn kissing the back of Alvero's hand.
"Mama?" Asked Alvero who was surprised, he then glanced towards Marisa.
"Sorry sir, Zayn thinks I'm his mother, probably because our Father's words look alike." Marisa reasoned.
"Emmm, so yes. Zayn, do you like having a Mama?" Alvero asked his little nephew.
"Yes Uncle, can Zayn come to see Mama often?" Ask Zayn expectantly.
"Em, if your mom doesn't mind, it's okay to be Zayn." Alvero said, again paying attention to Marisa's expression.
"I'm sorry sir, it looks like I have to get back to work." Marisa took off Zayn's hand.
"Zayn's coming with Ma." Zayn took Marisa's hand back.
Marisa looked at Alvero, as if asking, how, what can?
"Yes Zayn can come with Mama, but don't bother Mama at work." Alvero said he would allow.
"Gazzy.." Zayn hugged Marisa's hand and followed Marisa into her room.
Half an hour later Alvero came out of his room and approached Marisa who was busy with her computer, while Zayn was drawing next to Marisa.
"Zayn, Papa's on the phone, to Uncle Yuk's room." Said Alvero who didn't want to bother Marisa.
"No, just here." Said Zayn who didn't want to be disturbed.
Alvero hands his phone to Zayn. He sat in front of Marisa.
"Assalamu'alaikum Zayn, what else?" Elvan asked via video call.
"Waalaikumsalam, Zayn again in Uncle's office. Here's another picture." Answer Zayn.
"Zayn what's the picture?" Ask Elvan.
"Mama's picture is Zayn." Answer Zayn briefly.
"You're in Zayn's Heaven." Elvan said, getting annoyed when Zayn remembered his mother.
"Mama is here." Zayn.
"Mama's there?"
"Yes, Zayn has met Mama, Zayn does not lie if Mama is still here Mama did not go to Heaven, Papa who never understood."
"Wish Papa could see how Mama is kayaking?"
"Nih Pa, Mama here look at the camera, let Papa know Zayn's not lying." Said Zayn pulling Marisa's hand.
Marisa refuses and the right makes Alvero more convinced that she is Marisa instead of Sarah.
"Mana Zayn, don't lie to Papa. I will not ride the bike again." Said Elvan who was getting upset.
"Ma, let's go Ma for a second, please Ma." Zayn pleaded with his face.
Finally, because of the heartless and unpleasant with Alvero, Marisa also faced the camera.
"Assalamu'alaikum Mr. Elvan."
Elvan was speechless, the woman who was pronounced dead five years ago now appeared before him.
"Waalaikumsalam...."
