Married to Mr. Ares
Visiting

A few months later.......

“ This is the time we call our University's outstanding students to be present on this stage. Student with Cum Laude's praise congratulated Lyra! ” exclaimed MC graduation event was loud.

Lyra walked gracefully onto the stage wearing her toga, after shaking hands with the rector and receiving her graduation diploma. He took the podium at the direction of the MC.

“ I express my utmost gratitude to God because by His grace I can stand here with all these honors. I express my utmost respect and gratitude to the Rector and all lecturers and teaching staff who have always guided me. ” Lyra breathes for a moment.

“ For all these achievements I thank my family, friends, and friends. Especially my husband over his support ” Lyra glanced briefly at Ares who was standing at the very back of the room.

The audience who were there showed their surprise to know the fact that Lyra was married, because it was very rare for married students to get the praise of Cum Laude.

“ I hope we will all have success. Thank you ” Lyra bowed respectfully to the audience and walked down the stage.

Lyra was greeted by Adhisti and Shera and they embraced Lyra tightly as congratulations. Lyra and Shera attended the graduation together, while Adhisti had not yet even their departure.

Lyra looked back at Ares, Ares smiled at Lyra and coded her to focus back on her graduation. Previously Ares had told Lyra that he would watch the graduation from afar, so that its existence is not striking and invite excitement there.

After all the series of events were finished, Adhisti and Shera invited Lyra to take pictures. They seem very happy, of course, Shera's class also came to the event.

“ Come ” invite Ares to embrace Lyra.

“ Yes...Sis.we still want to take pictures with ” Adhisti protest because he saw Ares who had invited Lyra away.

“ You have taken many photos earlier ” reject Ares.

“ Even so you should also take photos together. This moment will not be repeated again ” Shera's advice by smiling at Lyra.

Lyra looked towards Ares as if asking if she wanted a photo together.

“ It's okay, then I will go home first ” said Lyra because Ares did not respond to Shera's suggestion.

“ Come ” quickly Ares embraces Lyra's waist, then takes off the sunglasses she wears.

“ Look to the camera ” Ares command because Lyra is still dumbstruck staring at him.

Lyra regained her senses and stared at the camera with a happy smile, Adhisti quickly captured the moment.

“ Already done, let's go ” Ares pulled Lyra's hand for her to follow him.

“ Forcers and always in a hurry ” said Adhisti looking at the departure of Ares and Lyra. Shera just laughed hearing that.

“ Where are we going? ” asks Lyra after seeing Ares not going through the path towards home.

“ Restaurants usually after graduation celebrated with food. Or do you want to go somewhere else? ”

Lyra took off her toga shirt.

“ I was quite helped with this toga shirt ” thanks Lyra while rubbing her enlarged stomach, because the toga shirt is large so her stomach does not protrude. Because she was pregnant she did not wear a kebaya like most people who graduated, she only wore a knee-length dress that seemed to fit her body.

Ares smiled at that.

“ So you agree to go to a restaurant? ” ask Ares again.

“ Hmm..to be honest I want to go somewhere else ”

“ Say, we will go there ”

“ I want to go to my mother's grave, then to the ” parlor Lyra said without looking at Ares.

“ Alright ” replied Ares then rotate lanes

their purpose.

Lyra walked straight slowly through several tombs, Ares following Lyra right next to the woman.

Arriving at Diandra's tomb, Lyra stood still for a moment.

Then he placed the flowers he had bought on the trip.

“ To be honest I miss you so much, but I couldn't afford to come see you in a ruined state. It all felt bad, Mom. I know Mom would be sad if I saw me like that, therefore I did not have the courage to come ” Lyra gently wiped her tears dripping down her face.

“ But now everything has changed I am very happy with my life now. I hope you are happy there too. I'm graduating today, Mom. With good grades and three months to go I'll be a mother. Today my husband also came, Mom, it's a pity that I never met him. It was difficult for both of us at first, but now it is much better. Ares is a good man. Mother need not worry I believe she can take care of me ” Ares embrace Lyra who began sobbing.

“ You are a good person, thank you for keeping Lyra all this time. I will try to keep it ” Ares said sincerely.

Ares put Lyra's seatbelt together, then wiped the rest of the tears on Lyra's face.

“ Don't cry anymore ” the door is soft.

“ Hmmm...it feels relieved once ” Lyra said with a smile.

“ Now we will go to the orphanage ” Ares drove that car.

Since the distance of the parlors and burial grounds was not too far away, it was not how long they had arrived.

Lyra stepped her feet slowly out of the car, staring around the changing parlour.

Ares opened the gates for Lyra.

“ So much has changed ” said Lyra amazed to see the new-looking parlour building possibly due to renovations, and in addition to the parlour which was originally just an empty land. Now it's turned into a playground.

“ Mas ordered all this? ” ask Lyra on Ares.

“ Because it has not been here for a long time, so it feels changed actually only a little changed ” Ares replied.

As soon as Lyra continued her steps, the orphanage children instantly realized her presence. The boys ran over to Lyra.

“ Slowly later you fall ” said Lyra a little overwhelmed because the children rushed to embrace her.

Lyra hugged and kissed one by one the head of the children, who had been considered like her own sister.

“ How are you guys doing? ”

“ We are good, why did Brother come so long ago? ”

“ Yes, Brother. We miss once ”

“ Old brother once came we missed once ”

The children spoke almost simultaneously. Lyra held back her tears that began to reminisce.

“ Sorry...My sister has a job far away. Hence new come now ” Lyra.

“ Sorry yes Brother promise will come often. Big brother is glad you guys are okay ” Lyra embrace the kids and take them to sit regularly on that park bench.

Ares watches over Lyra's closeness to the boys.

“ Brother to fat. Did you eat a lot? ” ask a child innocently.

Ares who heard that also let out a small laugh heard that plain question.

“ No, come here ” Lyra clasped the boy's hand and placed it on his stomach.

“ Currently Sister is pregnant, inside the belly of Sister there is a baby. Therefore the body of the Big Brother becomes bigger ” Lyra gently.

The other children immediately rushed towards Lyra, holding onto Lyra's stomach as they were all curious.

“ Does Brother Really have a baby? ”

“ Why is the baby in the stomach, brother? ”

Various other innocent questions that came out from the little ones, Lyra could only laugh and try to explain again gently.

“ **One thing for sure in this world is the time and the change is ”-Anonymous
