He's my son, not my brother
Shadow of the past
"Mom... No. whoa..." Zeline's voice that sounded while hitting the door of the mother's room brought their conversation to a halt.
"Zeline's gone home like that." Said the Mother Naina's.
"Nai open the door first huh, ma'am." Naina said and opened the door. On the doorstep, Zeline's face looked grim to him.
"Why lock the door, no? Zel Inda can get in this." He said a little upset.
"Zel want to see Mom?" Ask Naina who is possessed by Zeline.
"You want to give this to me." He said while showing a piece of green money in his hand.
"Well money for what?" Naina asked confusedly.
"Reverse money Tak Mala was a snack. Said Tak Mala has this mother." Reply Zeline.
Naina nodded then allowed Zeline to go in to see her mother. Naina also prefers to get out of her room to her room to prepare a change of clothes for her and Zeline after bathing.
"It looks like my clothes used to be a lot of unused. I'd better seclude him tomorrow while I'm still on holiday." Naina said as she picked up her clothes in the closet.
But a photo that suddenly fell from between her clothes made Naina stunned.
"Daniel...." Naina muttered when she took some photos of Daniel while still in college that fell on the floor. "Why are the pictures still here?" Lirih Naina then cleaned up some of the photos that were scattered.
Naina held her chest. Feel the beating of his heart that beats so fast when he sees Daniel's face even if only in the photo.
He is the father of my son... Inner Naina while gently stroking Daniel's photo. Not wanting to dissolve in the past, Naina put a picture of Daniel under the folds of her clothes and closed the door of her closet.

At two in the night, Naina awakens from her sleep when she hears her daughter's delirious voice.
"Ice mam trim yes, No..." Racau Zeline in her sleep.
Naina pulled her lips to the side. Even in his sleep, Zeline still remembers the food of his antics.
"Cups... Cup... Bobo's a good-natured Mama's son..." Naina said as she stroked her daughter's hair.
Naina looked down at her daughter's face as she recalled the conversation she and her mother had this afternoon. "My boy... Is it time for Mama to tell you that you're my son and not my sister?" Naina said slowly.
"Daniel..." Lirih Naina when she mentioned the name of the father of her son. The man who had incised a wound in his heart.
He's correct. I am a stupid woman who gives my crown to her so easily. In the name of love I let it all go. But one thing I never regretted in my life, the presence of Zeline as a little angel who will always be the encouragement of my life. Inner Naina while looking at her daughter's deep face.
The shadow of the past begins to wander in Naina's thoughts. Daniel invites him to do their college work together in his apartment. Naina who was hesitant at that time finally complied with Daniel's invitation. After all, he was very much looking forward to being alone with his lover after a long time dating secretly.
"This is your apartment?" Naina asked as she entered Daniel's apartment.
Daniel nodded. "Yes. This is my apartment as well as my residence after I graduated High School." Daniel replies and leads Naina to walk deeper into her apartment.
