Hot Couple: Love Story Inara Season 3
Poor Baby

The typical crying sound of the baby was welcomed as we entered the parlor. The little baby boy in Micky Mouse's suit was in the caretaker's arms. Nurul seemed overwhelmed carrying her, she said the six-month-old was fussy since losing her mother. Honestly, I was sad to see it.

It's true, I want to see Aulian, want to know how the baby was after the death of his mother. And this is what I saw. The guilt further undermined and pinched my heart and feelings.

"Cup, cup. Here, handsome." Reza held and held the baby in the chest, and he was immediately taken.

My heart asked: why? Why do they seem so familiar? Was it because it was the hand that first greeted him from the doctor or the hospital nurse at the time he was born? Is it because he's the one who's been nagging her? Or the....

"Funny, huh, sweetheart?"

"Eh, oh, yes, Mas. He's funny."

"Would you try a sling?"

"Me?"

"Yes. Tried, yes. You're training."

I'm clumsy. I've never held a baby other than my cousins. That was a long time ago too. Moreover, this...

Julian. Salsya's son.

Stop, Nara! Pleases... Salsya is gone. Stop judging.

For some reason, I kissed the little baby in my sling. My guilt makes me want to do that. "I'm sorry, son. I was involved in your mother's death. I'm sorry."

Yeah, I whisper with tears in my eyes. Not sure, did Reza hear my words and see my tears? I hope not.

"Normally Zahra is carrying. He's a henchman when carried by Zahra. But Zahra's going to the hospital."

Reza. "Who's sick, Mom?" tanyakanya.

"Lack of knowing too, son. If it's not wrong, he said his cousin."

Reza's mangosteen and their chatter continued, I didn't hear because I took Aulian to her bed and gave her a pacifier of formula. He took a snooze and started sleeping. Not long after, Reza approached me.

"What a pity this boy. The poor baby. Hopefully someone will adopt it, yes. I hope he will have a complete parent, a father and a mother, so that he can feel the affection and warmth of the family." Then I bowed. "But...."

Reza's forehead frowned. "Why?"

I put my shoulders down. "Eitherway. But I'm afraid, what if when he grows up, he finds out about his mother's death? Is he going to blame me?"

"Don't think negatively, dear. It's still a long time, anyway. Already, yeah. Calm your mind."

I'm nodding. A few moments later, after Aulian was completely slumbering, we left immediately. I want to go home and rest. I was tired - - the heart and mind that I knew it would affect my physique. But when we got to the parking lot...

"I want to say something."

I can hear the seriousness in Reza's voice. It seems that what he was about to talk about is so important. At least for him. A short breath escaped my lips. "What's up, Mom?"

"Honestly, I'm afraid to say this. Fear of many things. But... You remember, right, you want me to always be honest?"

I looked at it briefly. "Tell me."

"Make sure first that you will not be emotional, do not let what I will say affect your mind, let alone affect your content."

I turned the eyeballs around lazily. "Yes." Yeah."

"I don't agree!" cut me quick.

"Darling...."

"No!"

Reza was massaging his temple, at that moment I saw as if he was carrying such a heavy burden. Butwhat?

"Can you hear me first? Would help?"

I'm shaking. "I disagree, Mom. I don't want to."

"Darling, listen to me first. Okay?"

I nodded - - with a force.

Reza clasped my hand, then heaved a heavy sigh. "I agree-"

"That's you!" I shouted while jerking his hand. "Always, yeah. It never changes. I'm sick of you! Sick of it!"

My tears broke again. I sobbed. I hate myself now. Very crybaby. I wiped my tears, while Reza looked down.

"I didn't mean to adopt him as a child" he said a moment later. "I didn't mean to ask her to stay with us. It's just, I can't let her be adopted by someone else."

I shook with obvious disbelief. Not because I didn't like Aulian, but maybe because there was still a domineering sense of jealousy in me towards the late Salsya. "You're not willing because he's Salsya's son? I see, right?"

"No. But because Salsya left it to me. And I already agreed. I promised to take care of her."

Fuck those!

"Please, Honey. I just want to finance and guarantee his survival. That'sallthatis. For a while he remained in the parlor. But maybe..," -- he put his shoulder - "I'll ask Mbok Tin to take care of Aulian."

I sighed* while closing my eyes. "Is Aulian your real son, Mas? Please be honest."

"Oh my God. Don't question my loyalty. Please! Never have! I have never touched Salsya or any woman other than you. Do I have to swear?"

Free. You often deny.

From the driver's seat, Reza looked at me.

From the passenger seat, I stared at Reza.

We stared at each other in silence, but our eyes talked a lot. I found honesty there.

"Give me a reason, why should I agree?" I finally opened my voice first.

Reza is weak. "The guilt that made me this way." Then he sighed* and stared out the window. "Everything that happened to Salsya was my fault."

Huh huh?

The deg!

Restless, agitated, and intense fear instantly ambushed me fiercely. Whatdoes thatmean?
