From Duren Down To The Heart
Chapters 16. Harmonious Family

I saw about 5 people in front of my sales. But they turned around, probably thinking I wouldn't be selling today.

"Mom, would you like to buy some fruit soup?" I asked, on one of those seoarangs.

"yes Ma'am, today's business is not selling." he replied.

"i'm selling. Just a minute..!" I said as I headed towards the rolling door and opened it.

I just need a few minutes to prepare my sale, because everything is available here. I keep a pretty good stock of fruits, as well as other ingredients.

"how many packs of mama?"

"i'd like to eat here 1, and pack 3. Ma'am.."

They took turns ordering fruit soup.

While I was serving the buyer, I suddenly heard a voice calling.

But the call felt different, it wasn't just mentioning my name.

"Mama Clara..?"

Ah. it turns out it was Keisya..

"eh, Keisya.. join the sales papa huh?"

"yes, my brother I want to meet Mama and at home I'm lonely because there is no one, because Mama will not come.."

"Where was the business first, Grandmother Keisya went?"

"they're going out of town again.."

"ooh, that's it. yaudah wait a minute, yes, Mama serves the buyer first."

"yes Ma.." Keisya sat on the wooden chair that was in my stall.

I continued making fruit soup orders for buyers.

"Keisya, Papa thinks where are you..!" Keanu approached Keisya. "you don't go anywhere if Papa again buys, okay? What if there's a kidnapper?"

"but I want to see Mama, so when I see Mama has come, I come straight here.."

"yes, but next time I have to tell you I'm the same papa?"

"yes pah.."

I, who had finished serving the buyers, immediately approached Keisya and Keanu.

"again on what the hell?" i wonder.

"this is Ma, papa gets angry with me." whine Keisya while hugging me.

I looked at each other with Keanu. Then Keanu again spoke to Keisya. "honey, where there is Papa angryin you.. Papa was just ngingetin, Papa was worried about you."

Keisya was still pouting.

"already, already.. Mending Keisya with Mama in yuk, we play.." I'm trying to melt the mood.

"play what Ma?"

I finally managed to persuade Keisya. I don't know, if playing with a little kid can be fun like this.

And I saw Keanu sitting outside smiling at our familiarity.

"i went back to the store first huh." said Keanu in a half-screaming tone, as we were quite a distance away..

I nodded and smiled.

"but Keisya..?"

"it's okay, let him play here, while I'm together."

Keanu smiled, "thank you, Clar.."

We played a lot of games, and Keisya was very excited. Although occasionally having to be distracted because I'm the one serving the buyer.

We played a long time, until it was time for lunch. Keanu invited me to eat together at the cafe close to our shop.

I feel like the three of us are like family, especially with Keisya who always calls me 'Mama'. Everyone who greeted us, they really

I thought we were a very harmonious family.

Sometimes I get misbehaved when I hear those people say that. And I noticed Keanu also seemed to be the same as me.

We did not dodge when people asked us if Keisya was our son? just smiling to answer. And I have also considered Keisya like my own son.

I don't know, why am I stuck in this situation? Don't you? I should have felt that.

The Keanu I once saw had that cold nature, it turned out that he was a person who was so warm when we got close to him.

Yep! He was just being warm with people who were really close to him. Now, am I included?

We decided to go back to the store after lunch.

We walked because the location was close to the store.

Keisya held my right hand with his left, while Keisya's right hand held Keanu's left.

It really looks like a harmonious family right??

"Ma, tomorrow I'm off school" Keisya said after arriving at Keanu's durian shop. "how about we go for a walk?"

"oh, huh? tomorrow Keisya's off? Emangny Keisya, where are you going?" my question, while squatting down to line our faces.

"i want to go anywhere, as long as Mama and Papa are together!"

Keanu and I stared at each other. I am confused as to what to react to?

"youngmm.."

"Congratulations?"

Keisya replied with a nod.

"well, if so, Keisya sleeps with Mama yuk! Let Mama carry you.."

"yes Ma, Keisya would.."

Again, Keisya is now sleeping on my lap.

And I saw Keanu heading towards me.

"Clar.I'm sorry, Keisya and I continue to take care of you." said Keanu while sitting next to me.

"jeez Mas. gapapa again! I also like to be able to do this as soon as Keisya.."

"but I'm not good with you.. Especially with Keisya's invitation earlier. But I'm also confused, how do I explain to Keisya if you're not her Mama."

"i know it's hard, so don't force it, huh?! I'm afraid Keisya will even be sad if Mas says about me who is not his Mama."i replied, then I looked at Keanu. "and I also don't mind if Keisya wants to go for a walk with me.."

"came?" asked Keanu who I answered with a nod. "thank you, he must be very fond."

And me too! I'm going for a walk tomorrow! Because it has been a long time I did not walk around for just refreshing.

In order for my brain not to be too stressed thinking about my matchmaking with her son Aunt Riana, it seems that the streets are the best way to reduce my saturation.

While diving drink water, right?? I can refresh to clear my brain, and I can also make Keisya happy.
