A Little Hope For Ashma
43. Nimble woman determination

Adam took Ashma that afternoon to visit Tanya's mistress' house, for the sake of the wife who was craving she would do anything.

They were right in front of the door of the house owned by Tanya's mistress, Adam knocked it slowly and not long from that the door was open, there Tanya gave a welcome to them.

"I'm sorry we interrupted your break lady Tanya," said Adam politely.

Madam Tanya immediately shook her head slowly, "no boy, I'm so glad you guys came to visit. Well please come in," said his welcome in.

"Madam Tanya actually I came here because my wife wants to meet your granddaughter, Gelya. Ashma was attracted to the little girl she had been whining about getting to know your granddaughter." Adam said, from this afternoon Ashma continued to whine to meet a little girl named Gelya.

Madam Tanya smiled happily, "Well it turns out that the girl caught the attention of this pregnant mother yes, well I will call her first." Madam Tanya left for a while to call her granddaughter.

Not long after that lady Tanya came with Gelya, she seemed to be walking shyly behind her grandmother's body.

Ashma smiles and finds the little girl coming with Tanya.

"Dear dear," Ashma asked the girl to approach, Gelya shyly walked over to Ashma.

The girl looked down small with a reddened face that was in stark contrast due to her snow-white skin.

"Can I meet you?" asked Ashma asking for permission, Gelya small beard with still lowered his head.

Getting permission from Gelya Ashma was very happy, the woman was like getting her favorite toy.

"My name is Ashma Zehra, so what's your name, what's a pretty girl?"

"I-my name is Ge-gelya." she introduced her name in stature as well there is no end to closing her first name.

"Just go?"

Gelya gave a small nod, "yes it's just Gelya Aunty!" The girl slightly confirmed her words, Ashma smiled slightly and rubbed her head affectionately.

Her double braided blonde hair adds an adorable look to her cute face, she has large brown eyeballs followed by her long lentic eyelashes. The girl was very beautiful, beautiful plus red hues adorned her cheeks which contrasted with the snow-white skin.

"God, your name is as beautiful as the man. Ashma gave praise to the little girl, she really liked to see her cheeks blush and her eyes became sparkling as her eyes were already confidently staring at Ashma.

The girl seemed to see something strange about Ashma, it looked like it stood out, then she asked curiously.

"Aunty, what's wrong with your stomach? Why like pufferfish?" The little girl's innocent question made Ashma laugh amusedly, she was really a very cute girl.

Adam saw their interaction, he thought Ashma wanted a baby girl.

"My stomach, oh-in here is a little man, he's growing inside. Well later when it's time he'll be born into the world." He said tell Gelya who is still confused.

"Didn't that sound so terrible, little man in your stomach," he said fearfully, Gelya horrified himself to imagine it.

Ashma grabbed Gelya's very delicate cheeks, "no dear, she's just a little human who will cry and smile at birth. Gelya, you were also in your mother's stomach and became a little human."

Gelya grew curious, he drew closer to Ashma. "Is that true? So I used to be in my stomach, and then I was born into the world to be a little human?"

Ashma chuckled softly, "right dear, Gelya used to be this small." Ashma showed her hands, Gelya's eyes sparkling with her small, amazed mouth.

"Wow..so Gelya was once that small!" His words were so enthusiastic. Everyone there laughed a little at Gelya's exasperated behavior.

"Ashma it's almost evening!" Adam whispered in Ashma's ear, the woman gave a small nod.

"Ashma, if we continue to talk tomorrow how?" ashma asked with a feeling of sadness, Gelya was silent for a moment then immediately gave a small nod.

"Well tomorrow we meet and play together, yeah,"

Gelya nodded again, this time he was so enthusiastic with his sparkling eyes.

After that little meeting Adam and Ashma came home because it was getting late, Ashma seems sad because she still wants to talk a lot with Gelya but because of her circumstances that do not allow as well as the increasingly afternoon makes her forced to stop talking with a beautiful girl who has stolen his attention.

Ashma nodded enthusiastically, "the girl reminds me of my childhood Mas, the difference is she grew up without both her parents and I was very sad to hear it." He also said softly afterwards considering that the little Gelya grew up without a mother and father figure.

Adam glanced at his lowered wife. "She will grow up to be a strong girl, just like you! He said it so confidently made Ashma smile thinly.

They walked hand in hand, it was a memory that will never be forgotten.

As the afternoon sun cast a long shadow on the ground, Adam and Ashma arrived at their small house. A sweet smile was engraved on Ashma's face before they continued their steps into the house.

...•••...

Lily paced back and forth with uneasy feelings in her room, she always thought about her meeting yesterday with Edward, the man who claimed to be her husband.

Lily's shoulders slumped. "Why don't I remember?!" he said it was so frustrating.

He made his room look like a ship broke because he was looking for anything that could provide evidence about Edward, but nothing, it was like it had been deliberately hidden.

"Gurghhh!"

"Just ask Mama or Adam, they'll never open their voices. I have to find out for myself!" He said determined to himself, he couldn't keep quiet and wait for Mama and Adam to explain, it probably wouldn't happen.

Sighing deeply, Lily wiped away the traces of her tears violently, she had to meet Edward again.

Last night Lily gets an email from someone unknown, and she tells her that she is Edward.

Lily immediately sends him a message, asking to meet tonight and need help so that Adam's bodyguards, especially Jhon, do not know he is going to leave tonight, Lily believes Edward is not an ordinary adult man, he must be a smart man.

The message sent Lily into his email, Edward immediately opened and read the contents of the message who wanted to meet and asked for help so that Adam's bodyguards did not know his departure.

Edward smiled happily, tonight he will meet again with his beloved, his beloved wife.

"Well baby (emoticons love)."

Lily immediately read a reply from Edward, she did not display any facial features, just read it and closed the email again from Edward.

...•••...

In the cold silence, that night Lily took the action to go meet Edward, she was a very agile woman who also knew the tricks of escaping from the large Mansion belonging to her annoying brother.  Lily had also tried to escape from Adam's Mansion because Adam locked her up because he knew Lily was dating her schoolmate.

Adam was so overprotective of her back then until now, I don't know what it was because of but after gaining clarity that he had feelings for her it made Lily so angry, until now he could not even accept Adam's feelings because he had already reneged on his promise as a brother.

Lily grabbed her consciousness at the present time, she was already preparing to play around a little with Adam's bodyguards and it was so challenging that a thin grin adorned her face considering how stressful the situation was outside the mansion.

"Annoxious! What is it with Adam to keep the Mansion this tight?!" Lily was grieving bitterly when she saw such tight guard.

He stepped carefully and hid behind a wall, checked his smartphone and found a message from Edward.

"What, the secret passage?" Lily is shocked to find Edward's message telling her that there is a secret path behind Adam's Mansion.

Lily immediately headed for the reading room, yes behind the bookcase there is a secret door, Lily immediately pushed her and she was really surprised to find the secret door behind the reading room that she always went to. Lily was not completely confused with Adam, the man turned out to have a secret like this in his house.

But wait a minute, Lily thought how Edward knew this secret door, he was really curious about Edward's true figure.

The door had a red button next to it to open, she was completely astonished.

But not yet pressing the button, someone's hand stopped the movement of his hand. Lily immediately turned her head and found Adam's bodyguard who was displaying an unfriendly look.

"Jhon?!"
