Aleya returned to Zetta's house with an uninspired face. Rion can see that.
"Aleya!" Rion blocks Aleya's arm from getting out of her car.
"What's up, brother?"
"I'm sorry."
Aleya reviewed her smile. "There's nothing to forgive, brother. I'm down yeah!"
Rion nodded. "Just think about your studies. Soon registration for specialist. You have to decide immediately."
Aleya gave her thumbs up. "Thank you for lunch. I'll buy you brother sometime. Hye!"
Aleya closed the car door and entered the house. Aleya's eyes were immediately fixed on a child who was playing with her nanny.
"Hi, dear.." Aleya said to the adorable boy.
The little boy seemed to pucker his forehead.
"My name is Aleya, what's your name?" aleya asked by aligning her height with Andra.
"I'm Andra. Mama said you were Mama's sister. Then I should call you with aunt's call?"
"No! How about calling me mother?"
"Hmm? You mean I have two mothers, do you?"
"Yes, that's. From now on you'll stay here with you and your mama."
"okay! I'll call you mother. Do you know any puzzle games?"
"Oh, of course. I'm very good at playing it. Let's play together!"
Aleya's disquiet began to wane after meeting Andra. They play together until they forget time.
Zetta returned home and saw Aleya's familiarity with her son. He really guessed wrong. He thought Aleya would think of her as a dirty woman for having children out of wedlock.
"Well, what are you guys playing? It looks so exciting. Mama can't come?" exclaiming Zetta while approaching Aleya and Andra.
"Mama! I'm playing a puzzle with Mommy. Mother is very good at putting together puzzles, Ma."
"Mother?" Zetta frowned.
"Yes, Ma. From today Aunty Aleya will be my mother. So, I have two mothers. I won't be lonely anymore" cried Andra happily.
Aleya smiled at Zetta. "It's okay, brother? I just want us to be closer."
Zetta replied with a smile as well. "You've always liked children. What if you take the pediatrician's studies?"
"Huh?! Pediatrician? Just like Rion's sister?"
Zetta nodded steadily. "Look at you guys .. very compatible."
"Ish, brother! Me and Brother Rion are just good friends. Not more!"
"One day you have to open your heart, Aleya. Not because you have chosen the love of the past, you ignore the person who is always there for you. Don't let you regret it later."
Aleya fell silent.
"Andra baby, it's night. It's time for you to go to bed. Come on!"
Zetta passed from before Aleya by bringing Andra into the room.
Aleya sighed harshly. "What Brother Zetta said is true. But ... I'm still not ready to fall in love anymore."
......***......
The next day, Aleya came to Avicenna University to apply for her advanced studies. He was hesitant to become a pediatrician. He was afraid if Rion thought that he was just following along.
As Aleya walked down the campus corridor, her phone rang. A message from Rion.
"Don't hesitate to make your choice. Whatever it is, I'll keep supporting you."
Aleya smiled getting one spirit for him.
"alright. I'll fill out the form."
Aleya headed to the administration room and registered herself there. After struggling for some time, Aleya came out holding her chest.
"Huf! It feels so relieved. Hope this is the best." Aleya stepped back to leave the campus. This was not the first time Aleya had set foot on this prestigious campus.
When I got a scholarship, Aleya had come here even if only for a short time. Then Aleya was declared a medical graduate. He also came with his father.
"This campus has changed a lot. So do I. From now on I have to change!"
Aleya stepped firmly on the decision she had just taken.
"Can I talk to you for a second?" said the man.

Aleya rushed to Andra's school. After her affairs are finished on campus, Zetta calls her and asks Aleya to pick Andra up at school.
School has started to be quiet because the learning hours have been over since.
"Mother!" Andra scowled to see Aleya coming late.
"Sorry, sweetheart. Mother's late." Aleya cupped her hands together. Not to forget he also put on a face so that Andra would forgive him.
"This is your bundle, Andra?" A melodious voice from a little girl made Aleya turn her head.
"Hi, honey. Yes, I am Andra's mother. Are you getting picked up late too? Who usually picks you up?"
"My father. He is usually never late. But today it seems like he's very busy."
"Mother, how about we drop him off too?" andra Proposal.
"Eh? No, hon. What if the papa comes later? Mommy's sure your papa will be here soon." Aleya tried to comfort the two boys.
"Yes, Mother of Andra. Thank ye. You better just go home. I'm sure papa will be here soon."
"Smart kid. What's yourname?" Aleya gently stroked the top of the little girl's head.
"My name is Aurel, Mother."
"Alright, Aurel. Mother same Andra go home first. Aurel be careful here. There are teachers here too. Aurel need not be afraid."
"Yes, Mother. I'm a brave boy."
"Good! Go, Andra!" Aleya held Andra's hand and they walked together. Not to forget Andra said goodbye to Aurel.
Aurel stared at the departure of the two people with a sad look.
"If only Mama could pick me up too as did Andra's mother. But Mama's very busy." Aurel sat down in a doldrums.
Outside the school, Aleya headed for the car.
"Mother! I want to buy that!" point Andra at the passing balloonist.
"Hmm?" Aleya frowned.
"Look, Mommy. The person who sold it was very old. I feel sorry for him."
"Ah, dear. You are such a sweet little angel. Looks like you were deliberately sent by God to fill my days that have been gray."
"Come, Mother!" yelled Andra who got the attention of the people around her. They looked at Aleya in disbelief that this young lady already had a child.
Even a man who had just stepped down from his luxurious car did not escape paying attention to Aleya. The man stared as he looked at Aleya's figure.
"Aleya? So it's true that he's here" muttered the man who is Boy.
"Which one did you choose?" andra's loud voice rang out in Boy's ear.
"Mother? So ... Aleya's married?" muttered Boy in the heart.
"But who did he marry? What's with Rion? But it doesn't seem to be. If Rion gets married, I'll hear the news."
"Doctor Boy!" the voice of a man interrupts Boy's daydream.
"Eh, yes sir. What's up?"
"Sorry, the doctor has been waiting for Miss Aurel. Miss Aurel was waiting for the doctor to arrive" explained a school guard.
"Ah, yes sorry. I'll be right in. Come, Sir!"
Boy turned to Aleya's place but what he was looking for was no longer there.
"He must have gone home. At least I know if his son goes to school with Aurel."
Boy smiled meaningfully and then stepped foot into the school area.
