I'm his mother
70.Darren Knows

"Assalamu"alaikum," the call of greeting from outside diverted the attention of three people who were gathering in the family room of Abra's main house.

Everything looks compact to look at the source of the voice while answering greetings. The happy sparkle was immediately emanated on Darren's handsome face when he saw the Papa had returned from out of town.

"Wa"alaikumsalam," answered the three in unison.

"Mr,"

The little boy who had been almost a month separated from the father was immediately running and slumped into the hug of the father.

"Hey Papa's hotshot, are you back? How are you, hhmm?" asked Abra while lifting and carrying the small body in his sling.

"Okay Papa, said the doctor, I still have to be diligent in checking. But I don't want to be there. I want to be here with Papa and Mama,"

"Ma_Mama? But____"

"Mama Nami Papa, I just want to get some medicine here. Same with Papa and Mama Namira,"

Degs...

Abra turned to Namira and Mama Wanda. Abra is shocked when Darren calls Namira Mama, and no longer calls her Mother Teacher, as usual.

Namira and Mama Wanda only smiled faintly with a nod of their heads in response to the question Abra had posed through her eyes. I don't know, I don't know what Abra has to say now. Her feelings were too flowery at this moment that she was no longer able to say the word.

"Dear dear, from now on Darren will live together with Papa and Mama Namira," replied Abra immediately showering a kiss on the tiny face that was so similar to her that, she said, then back to clutching tightly Darren's tiny body.

Abra went back out of the room after accompanying the child to play until he finally fell asleep, then Abra moved the tiny body to his room.

Abra immediately asked the mother for an explanation shortly after returning from her room.

"Darren has known this since he lived in the apartment. He accidentally found your agreement letter. That's why when he was there, he kept himself locked up in the room, right? That He did, because he was so disappointed with the two of you being dishonest to him, do you still remember how Darren reacted when he was met with the late Miss Marni?"

"Don't react to anything, he just smiled at Mama's late mother, he said, then before long Mama left and I didn't know how she was doing because I fell unconscious and when I woke up Darren was taken home by Bang Marco, Ma," Namira.

"That's because she already knew that the one she met back then was her grandmother. Normally he would refuse even he would rebel if forced to meet people he did not recognize. He also told me, if he gets upset and angry when you don't include him in the funeral of the late Miss Marni,"

Abra and Namira are both silent as they listen to the explanation of Wanda Prihal Darren's mother who already knows that Namira is her biological mother. This is the first time Mama Wanda has told me everything.

Yesterday, when I picked up Namira and took her to the main house. Mama Wanda hasn't told me everything, the middle-aged woman only told me that Darren already knew Namira was her mother.

But it did not say where the child knew it from and when Darren knew it. Mama Wanda said she would explain everything when Abra came home from out of town.

"Then, how did you know where Namira's house was and bring her here? Even Mama didn't call me first, freaking me out. Luckily a neighbor told me where Namira was going,"

"Mistake itself. Same old man plays secret secrets, sucks."

"I'm sorry, Abra also intends to bring Mama and Namira together. It's just, my final job is a lot so sorry I haven't had time to bring my wife to Mama,"
