He's my son, not my brother
Who's the stalker?
"Of course Mama feels familiar. Because Mama has met her real mother before."
"What do you mean Dara?" Mama Hasna doesn't seem to understand.
"Naaina. The Aga lover whom I met was the woman whom I assumed was the child's mother." Dara Revealed.
"What?!" Mama Hasna's voice sounded so shocked. Some people stared at them and heard Mama Hasna's voice.
"Let's go with Dara." Dara pulled Mama Hasna's hand away from the people who were currently staring at them.
"You're not kidding Dara!" Press Mama Hasna in disbelief.
"Didn't Mama see clearly the resemblance on the girl's face to Naina I meant?" Ask Dara.
Mama Hasna seemed to think and then nodded. "Mama just realized that Mama saw Naina's face on the child's face." Mama Hasna said softly.
"That's it. Don't think about it anymore. It's better now to be quiet enough because it's none of our business." Said Dara later.
"But .. don't you see the little girl's eye color." Mama Hasna was also made to think.
Dara took a long breath. "As Dara said. We don't think too much about it because it's none of our business. It's possible that Naina has offspring who have the same eye color as our family." Dara.
Mama Hasna just kept quiet. He was not so sure of Dara's words.

That afternoon Naina came home from the company feeling unsettled. Since exiting the company gate, his gaze continued to glance towards the rearview mirror to see the vehicle behind his motorbike.
Halfway through he passed with a sense of calm as no suspicious vehicle followed him from behind like the previous days. But the calm did not go long because after passing a red light, a black car seemed to follow him from behind.
"Who's the guy in the car? Why is he following me." Naina's muttering started to fret. Naina also increased the speed of her motorbike in order to avoid someone who was stalking her.
The journey to her home that day Naina passed by took quite a long time because she had to pass through the alley by alley so that the stalker would no longer follow her.
"Where's Zeline?" Naina muttered and then stepped inside the house. "Mara... Where's Zeline?" Naina asks when she meets Amara who is watching TV.
"Zeline was taken away by Mom to the supermarket, sister." Reply Amara.
"Have it been a long time?" Ask Naina.
"Even longer. Looks like Mom and Zeline will be here soon." Reply Amara.

In front of a crowded martabak cart that afternoon, Mom and Zeline who were waiting for her order with Zeline while sitting on the bike were suddenly surprised by the arrival of a man who was still wearing his work coat.
"Hi Zeline's..."
"No Bulls? Buy maltabak too?" Zeline asked with a face so pleased as she looked at the face of the man in front of her.
"No. Brother just wants to approach Zeline here."
"Showing Zel?" Zeline's face was getting more and more happy.
Seeing her grandson talking to a foreign man, she spoke up. "Sorry, who are you?" Ask Mom while putting on a watchful face.
"Agh, sorry. Earlier introduce, Mother, my name is Daniel. Naina's friend." Daniel then extended his hand to Mother.

Notes.
Before reading this story, it's good for friends to read first the info I give at the beginning of the story if the storyline is quite long. One more thing I told you, if I am not a good writer in this field, I am still learning. Suggestions and all input my friends received. But if friends feel bored, I do not forbid to stop reading my story rather than giving comments that make my writing interest reduced. Thanks😊
