Adam worked hard to turn Kenanga Lake into a nature-based business. He even forgot everything, but his mother always reminded him that his health was gradually improving.

"Don't be late eating, Adam."

His mother, Halimah, never stopped reminding him to eat. Halimah understood that Adam's current busy schedule was also meant to help him completely forget about his injury.

Adam now seemed to smile for everyone and wanted to be useful to others. He continually strived to make others happy. However, Halimah realized that Adam needed a life partner.

Halimah certainly wouldn't be with Adam forever. One day, Adam would have to find a woman who could understand and care for him. Halimah's only happiness came from Adam's smile. Seeing him sad made her heart ache and hurt.

Adam's smile was Halimah's encouragement to hold on to her life before God called him. Adam was everything to Halimah, and Halimah only prayed for her son's happiness. Halimah cared for nothing more than to see her son happy. She didn't dare bring up marriage with Adam. She knew Adam deeply felt for him. She didn't want to offend him.

As for who Adam would marry in the future, Halimah didn't care much. She let her son decide; he was grown and mature. He could choose his own path in life. She could only pray for him and support him in his life.

One day, Halimah plucked up the courage to ask him a question tenderly while they were eating together. Adam always made time to eat with his mother.

For Adam, eating with his mother and seeing her angelic face was a joy in life itself. The food he ate was like the most delicious meal he had ever had.

Halimah interrupted slowly and gently, afraid of offending her son.

"You don't want to get married yet, my son?" Halimah asked suddenly as Adam was almost finished eating.

Adam was a little surprised. It was unusual for his mother to ask about marriage. Usually, she would hold back and leave everything to him. However, Adam sensed that his mother had indeed wanted grandchildren; perhaps that was the reason for her earlier question.

It had been almost a year since the entire Spring of Heaven program began. Everything had been going well, and some aspects had even been implemented, and indeed, assets had been generated for Spring of Heaven. Since then, Diandra had also been a regular visitor, and now she usually came from Friday to Sunday. She had a lot to do, studying religion and foreign languages.

Diandra really felt at home at Spring of Heaven; she would always be by the lake when she wanted to admire the scenery and watch the butterflies fly.

As for Naura, it had been eight months since they met at the lake, and there had been no news of her. Adam understood that; she had a family, so she would undoubtedly be busy with them. Adam began his usual routine, wanting to advance and develop Spring of Heaven and inspire others.

The playground was naturally crowded every afternoon, and Kenanga Lake had become a popular playground for families, especially those from the city. Furthermore, the language park is a favorite, and several small harbors have been built for small boats to board those who want to enjoy the beautiful air of Kenanga Lake.

Furthermore, cleanliness remains a top priority for Adam and his group. Anyone caught littering will be subject to sanctions, especially those caught dumping waste in Kenanga Lake.

The Spring of Heaven is Adam's ambitious program, supported by Diandra. The community must begin to reconnect with nature and improve its way of life, respecting nature itself.

Protecting life is the same as preparing a better life for our children and grandchildren in the future.

Adam tried to answer his mother's question gently, not wanting to offend her.

"Why are you suddenly asking about marriage?" Adam wanted to know more about what his mother meant. It could be a hint that she wanted a grandchild.

"You're an adult, Adam. It's time for you to have a wife who will accompany you in your solitude and listen to your worries," his mother's explanation, of course, was still ambiguous to Adam.

Adam didn't want to make his mother sad. His mother's happiness was his happiness. Whatever his mother wanted, he would do his best to fulfill it.

"Would you like to hold your grandchild?" Adam placed his plate to his left, having finished eating, and reached for his glass of water.

"It's not like that, Adam, my son. You know I'm old. I don't know how much longer I can take care of you, son."

Halimah said this, but there were tears welling in her eyes. Perhaps she had had enough of seeing her son's sorrow lying in the hospital. Perhaps a mother's heart wanted Adam to truly recover and truly forget Naura. With a wife, Adam would naturally be happy and forget all about Naura.

Indeed, his mother simply didn't want a repeat of what happened in the past. Halimah feared that Adam would think about Naura again and live in deep sorrow because of her. By marrying, Halimah wanted Adam to be happy, and of course, Halimah would finally be able to return to Allah peacefully, leaving her son behind.

Adam stood up, approached his mother, and reached for a tissue on the table. He took it and wiped away his mother's tears. Although they hadn't yet fallen, Adam knew there were tears she was holding back, and she was trying her best to keep them from falling.

"If that's what you want, then Adam will think about it, Mom. Because now, your happiness and purpose in life are yours."

His mother was touched, and she took her son's hand and then rested her aged head on his standing belly. Adam hugged his mother's head and stroked her old hijab. The love of a mother and son truly endures the test of time, as both of them cherish the meaning of family and the happiness they have experienced so far. Adam thought carefully about his mother's request. But more important than all that, Adam wants to live out his days with his mother and be able to look after her when she is sick or otherwise.

Adam wanted to continue being with his mother, even until they were all called by God and left this world. Adam wants to always be with his mother until he gets to heaven, of course. Amen. Adam prays to God to continue to unite him and his mother whenever and wherever they are.

A gentle breeze came in through the gaps in their house, and the morning air was very cool, as cool as the hearts of people who live their lives sincerely.
