Duren Mateng's
Chapter 67. Decisions

Alvaro stood at Rania's door. He glanced at his watch earlier, trying to contact his lover, but again the number was off.

"We where is Rania? Don't worry me" muttered Alvaro.

On returning home from the office, Alvaro saw that Rania's car was no longer in front of the clinic. The man thought his girlfriend was home, but Alvaro was wrong again. He also did not find Rania's car in the parking lot.

Long enough the man paced outside waiting for Rania. While Bima, her son is currently studying alone in his room.

A few moments later, Alvaro saw Rania just getting out of the elevator. With teary eyes, the girl looked at Alvaro who was waiting for her with a huffed face.

Rania stepped closer to her lover. A step ... two steps .. until finally the girl decided to run and hit the chest of her lover's field. Rania buried her face in the most comfortable place.

While Alvaro, he is confused as to why Rania is crying. However, he did not want to ask this now, because the man seemed to understand, it was possible that what the girl had just experienced felt heavy. Alvaro decides to let Rania tell him herself.

Rania tightened her arms, and Alvaro stroked her long hair gently. He patted the girl on the back and said, "It's okay, relax!"

"Ayang ...," said Rania who is still faithful to hide her beautiful face on the chest of the lover's field.

"Hmmm ... What dear?" ask Alvaro.

"I love the smell of your perfume" said the girl, raising her head.

Alvaro developed his smile, "I'm glad you like it" Alvaro said.

"Eat already?" ask the man.

Rania chimed in her lover's words with a headband.

"Then, let's go in! I'm gonna cook you something" Alvaro said. The man embraces Rania, planning to bring the girl into his unit. However, Rania looked doubtful and asked.

"Are you home alone?" rania asked with a hint of doubt painted clearly on her beautiful face.

Alvaro immediately chuckled amusedly at the water of his lover's face. "Why? Are you afraid that I will act?" Alvaro asked back. Quickly, Rania nodded her head.

"Inside there is Bima, just relax! I won't be a bad boy" said the man accompanied by a wink.

Rania hit her lover's arm slowly, then then grabbed the burly arm. "Yes, let's go then!" bring Rania.

The lovers enter Alvaro's unit. The man led Rania into the kitchen. Alvaro invited Rania to sit on the chair. While Alvaro, the man started wearing an apron and prepared to cook.

"What do you want to make?" ask Alvaro.

"Whatever I eat. But, do you still have crab stock?" rania asks who gave the code that she wanted to be cooked crab soup by Alvaro.

"Of course, I have. You're not tired of eating crabs?"

"No. I like it a lot" Rania said.

"Prefer me or the crab?"

"Stop comparing things that don't make sense!" gerutu Rania while advancing her lips.

"Mother Doctor!" bima from behind. The boy walked over to Rania and sat down next to the girl.

"Bima ate?" ask Rania.

"Here you go, Doctor."

"You want to eat with the doctor again?" tawar Rania's.

The boy shook his head. Rania rubbed her head gently. For some reason, Rania seemed to want to love Bima even more. Not because he is currently in a romantic relationship with the father of the boy, but because of the look of Bima's eyes that seemed thirsty for love from a mother.

The first start of their meeting at a restaurant, Bima did not hesitate to ask herself to be the mother of the child. Although Rania felt a little surprised, but over time, after getting to know Bima more deeply, he became aware of the reason for Bima's request.

Alvaro occasionally looked at Rania who was talking with her son. He developed his smile, feeling that there was nothing in doubt. For her, among many women, Rania is the right woman to be a surrogate mother for Bima.

"Is there anything I need to help you with?" tanya Rania offered herself.

"No need. You befriend Bima, soon you'll be done, too" Alvaro said.

After a while, the smell of crab soup began to make Rania's stomach hungry. Alvaro serves the crab soup, allowing Rania to eat the food she makes.

"Please!" alvaro

"How's it?" ask Alvaro.

"It's absolutely perfect, you are indeed a great chef" Rania praised as she brandished her thumb.

"Pa, Bima to the room first yes, Bima sleepy," said Bima who was struck by a small nod by Alvaro.

"Good night, Bima. Have a good dream" said Rania.

"Mother Doctor too, good-bye," chirped the boy who made Rania and Alvaro immediately chuckle.

Rania continued to eat the dishes in front of her. While Alvaro, supported by his chin while looking at his beautiful lover eat voraciously.

"Want to?" tawar Rania's.

Alvaro shook his head slowly, "I'm full, I'm full" the man said.

When something stuck to the corner of Rania's lips, Alvaro immediately wiped it, making Rania freeze for a few seconds, then Rania again normalized her facial expression.

"Haha .. sorry, I was a little disrespectful for eating the straws," said Rania to exorcise her awkwardness.

"It's okay" Alvaro said.

Rania went back to eating her food, before long the girl looked at Alvaro seriously. "I did something pretty big" said Rania, who started the conversation.

"What's that?"

"I'm not afraid of my past anymore. Today, I dare to face that man head on. And as you said before, if fear is to be fought rather than nurtured" explained Rania.

"Dion bother you again?" ask Alvaro full of probes. The man was very furious with the behavior of Rania's ex-lover who was very childish.

Rania finished her meal, grabbed the tissue on the table to wipe her mouth. The girl began to tell everything to the lover without anyone being missed in the slightest.

Alvaro smiled proudly as Rania told him everything that happened today without her asking. Alvaro was also happy, Rania was not afraid to face the man of her past.

"You're a great girl" praised Alvaro.

The two of them threw smiles at each other and looked at each other with love. Now, Rania has begun to escape from the shadows of her past. And Alvaro, heals Rania's wounds.

...****************...

The morning sun has revealed its light. The sound of birds sounding muffled with each other to welcome this bright morning. Rania woke up from her sleep, the girl squirms a little, stretching her stiff muscles. A beautiful smile was on her thin lips.

The girl got out of bed, cleaned herself up and went back to her usual routine.

At the same time, Alvaro was struggling in the kitchen to cook breakfast. As usual, he would call his neighbors to take him to breakfast together.

Not only that, this time Rania also left one more car with Alvaro. Of course at the request of the curly-haired boy, who wanted to feel how to have a complete parent.

There was jealousy, when he saw his classmates being escorted by his mother, while Bima was only escorted by his father. However, this time, Bima need not worry because Rania has replaced the role of mother for Bima even though it has not been legal to be a full surrogate mother.

The car driven by Alvaro had arrived in front of the school. The three men got out of the car at the same time. Bima shakes his father's hand. Then took Rania's hand to deliver the boy to her class.

However, just a few steps they left Alvaro, Bima turned back and approached his father. He gave the code to the father, making Alvaro squatted to align his height with his only son.

"What's up, son?" ask Alvaro.

Bima approached, and whispered right in front of her father's ear. "Pa, next time ask the Doctor to see Mom. Introduce the Doctor's Mom to Mama" whispered Alvaro.

Alvaro was silent for a while, then then developed his smile. His son has said so, it means Bima has also made a unanimous decision, asking Rania to be immediately used as a surrogate mother.

Alvaro nodded his head, approving of his son's words. Rania who saw the two whispering could only frown while wondering.

After saying so, Bima immediately ran over to Rania and again clasped the girl's hand. Rania gives a code to Alvaro about something whispered by Bima earlier, but Alvaro just sniffs his shoulders while smiling which makes Rania instantly manyun.

Alvaro looked at the two who were starting to step out leaving him alone. "Wait for the date, kid. Papa will definitely propose to him in the near future" muttered Alvaro as he smiled.
