MARRYING OLD GRANDPA
THE ARRIVAL OF THE ORANGE

Hardi was not surprised when Jingga asked if it was true that the woman was not his biological daughter? He has told everything to Heaven, Heaven certainly tells it also to Orange.

It was also one of the reasons why he and Yaya did not visit Jingga at his residence. Hardi was afraid that Jingga would ask about this, because she could not see the silent gaze of her daughter.

But although not too surprised, seeing the disappointment from the look in his daughter's eyes, it felt like he was sick.

"I'm sorry, son, I hid everything from you" Hardi said, looking down. Yaya who was sitting next to him cried, the middle-aged woman could not see the sadness of her daughter. "At that time you were too small, my father and mother decided to consider me our daughter, burying the fact that you were the daughter of Mr. Banyu."

The orange wiped away his tears, he tightened his hand at the sky. The sky can also feel the sadness that Orange feels, because he was in the same position with the woman.

"Why do you apologize, I'm not wrong. I'm not mad at you either, I'm just surprised. I'm just embarrassed, I should be apologizing because I've been bothering you all this time."

“No, son. No parent is bothered to love and care for his daughter. You are still our daughter, we love you so much,” said the mother in between her cries.

“Mother.” The orange moved toward Hardi and Yaya, who were sitting opposite him, and he fell down before them and wept on Yaya's lap. Everything feels like a dream, maybe if Orange can choose, he wants to be born from Rahim Yaya, a woman who sincerely cares for and loves him. Rather than being born from the womb of a woman who betrayed her father and ended up in ruin. Their families were divided, papa and his mother separated and Orange itself became the victim. It must be entrusted to others who are lucky to love him so sincerely. Hardi and Yaya never even distinguish affection between Orange and Mega.

“You are our daughter, son.you are still our daughter,” Yaya rubbed long orange hair gently, tears keep falling nonstop. This is what he and Hardi fear, everything will be revealed even though he realized that gradually Orange will indeed know about the reality they have been hiding.

The sky rubbed the edge of his eyes, he could not hold back. Moreover, his parents are gone, seeing father and mother who loved so much Orange reminded him of the figure of Banyu and Dusk who also loved him so much. Especially Banyu, even though the man was not his real father, but Banyu loved him so much. Take good care of her, educate her well and devote all her affection to her.

“Forget it all, son. Consider this reality you never know. Don't change, mom and dad are your mom and dad. Understood, babe?” Say mother again.

Orange nodded, he peeked at the back of Yaya and Hardi's hands. Making the back of their hands wet from her tears.

“Have, don't cry anymore. We open a new page, do not remember the rights that make you sad again, you must be happy.” timpal dad.

Orange and Sky nodded, they also hoped that way. Live a quiet and happy life with their little family later. But life is alive, storms, pebbles, and cloudy clouds sometimes accompany the course of life. But believe me, there will be rainbows after the storm. There will be a downhill road after the uphill road, there will be a smooth road after the gravel road, there will be a straight road after the winding road.

"Mom, Mr. Sky prepared an apartment for us. I want to ask permission to stay in the apartment, do you allow it?" Alex asked, they were having breakfast together. There's only a mother, because Alex's two sisters haven't come home yet.

"Why rush, son? I want to take care of my daughter-in-law, this is my first grandchild, I want to always accompany Mega." Reveal the mother, because she was so enthusiastic to welcome the presence of her first grandchild despite Mega's pregnancy due to an accident.

"Mom, I want to study independently with my wife" Alex said.

Mom took a deep breath, she nodded in understanding. In addition to not being able to impose his will, he also understood that everyone who is married must want to learn to live independently. "Alright, but often play here, son," said the mother to Mega.

Mega nodded, she smiled gently at her in-laws. Although he only knew the in-laws, but he was sure that his mother-in-law was very good.

After breakfast, Alex asks Mega to prepare. They will move into the apartment that day.

"Take care of your things, my things will be done by myself" said Alex, he then moved to take his suitcase. But then Mega took over the suitcase, making Alex turn to look at Mega questioningly.

"I'll take care of everything, you just wait outside. This is my job" said Mega.

"No, you're pregnant. Don't be too tired, let alone this suitcase is quite heavy. Take care of your content" said Alex.

Mega smiled widely, suddenly hit Alex's chest and hugged him tightly, "Thank you, ma'am. You have accepted me and this child" he said.

Alex let out a long sigh, his hands clenched as if holding back so that he would not return the woman's embrace, "It's my duty. Isn't that kid my son too? I'm just trying to be responsible."

Mega fell silent, she pulled away and nodded her head. "Yes, mas. This is our son," he said.

Alex took his suitcase back, he pulled the lever and he kept it on the bed. So that he could easily arrange his clothes into the suitcase. Likewise with Mega, the woman also gave her clothes after Alex took her suitcase.

The sky had indeed deliberately given Alex an apartment, perhaps as a gift for their wedding. At first Alex refuses, but Sky forces and threatens her to accept the apartment. As always, the salary threat is the most potent threat to Alex.

The apartment is not far from the company. Located in the middle of the city which is also not far from the hospital and residence of the Sky itself. Sky deliberately gave a luxury apartment that was strategically located, so that Alex could remain a husband on standby when Mega needed it.

That was also the reason Alex refused, because the apartment was too luxurious for a gift. But because the sky forced, Alex was not until the heart refused.

"Is it done?" ask Alex.

Mega nodded, "It's already a mas.."

"Well, we'll see mom again for a second."

Mega nodded again, walking behind Alex.
