Marrying the Father of My Foster Son
Aurora Request (REVISION)

At a kindergarten school, a beautiful-faced girl is moody in a corner of the classroom. Aurora, the name of the little boy, sat up while propping up her chin with a grim face. He was constantly being bullied by his friends.

"Aurora doesn't have a Mama" said one of the boys.

"His mother was hit by a car!" yelled another friend.

"Aurora was not born of Mama, but of stone" ledek his bespectacled friend.

Some four-year-old little boy seemed so excited about the beautiful Aurora. Claps of applause and laughter accompanied their jokes. I don't know how many times Aurora became a joke of her friends.

Aurora's heart was certainly sad because she never knew where she was. Every time he asked his father, the man simply said his mother was away at work. When the mother left, Aurora did not know. Her father just told Aurora to be patient.

After school, Aurora looked gloomy. The little girl did not want to eat or drink at all. He just kept quiet in the living room, where he used to play.

Ghani, Aurora's father who is a doctor, has just returned from the hospital. Seeing his favorite daughter moody, he was also sad. The man directly approached Aurora and asked gently.

"Princess Papa, why? How come your face's pouting, is that it?" ask Ghani. He stroked the top of Aurora's pensive head, sitting on a thick fur carpet made of the number one quality material.

"So at school Aurora is matedekin same friends," replied Aurora short without turning her head towards Ghani.

Ghani furrowed the two eyebrows of the confused sign. "Diledekin why?" the question is curious because so far never heard if there is a peer Aurora mocked her daughter.

"Because Aurora doesn't have a mother." When he said that sentence, Ghani felt that there was an arrow that shot just like that, stuck in the heart to make his heart stop beating. The man was silent, not understanding what to say.

Little Aurora turned her back when she realized Ghani's palm was no longer stroking the top of her head. "Papa, can Aurora not have a Mama? Why didn't Mama come home? Why is it working so long, Pa? Aurora wants to have Mama kayak other friends" Aurora said. Her beautiful eyes slowly blinked.

Ghani took a deep breath. Aurora's request is not excessive, but it is very difficult to realize.

"Papa, why silence? Aurora just wants Mama. Tell Mama to come home soon. So later when leaving for school Aurora delivered by Mama kayak other friends," said Aurora while tugging Ghani's hand.

The man did not know what to answer because the story he told about mama Aurora was a lie. Aurora is the daughter she adopted while on duty at a hospital in Sukabumi area, five years ago. Aurora's birth father died shortly after the accident, while her mother died minutes after giving birth to Aurora.

Ghani rubbed both of Aurora's cheeks gently. The cold man who seemed indifferent looked so warm when near a small child, especially it was his own daughter.

"Alright, later Papa will tell Mama to come home soon. Mama works far away, honey. It's abroad and you can't go home at any time" Ghani replied. His heart crumpled when he said that sentence. There was a sinful feeling because again and again he lied to Aurora. But to tell the truth, he couldn't.

"So, you work abroad? If you have to get home on a plane, huh, Pa?" Ghani nodded at the innocent question of his daughter.

"If so, we'll invite your mother abroad. Aurora also wants to get on the plane, Pa, wants to see the clouds up close. Looks lovely. It must be fun" Aurora replied enthusiastically.

"Yes, honey, Papa will try to get on a plane to pick up Mama Aurora. Pray that Papa will do his job well. So you can save up to go abroad, sweetie."

Ghani could have gone abroad that second without waiting for his savings to fill up. Both of his parents are rich, the hospital where he works is a downhill inheritance from the late grandmother. So, it can be guessed how many rupiah coffers are obtained from the hospital. Just spending about 50 million, is not a difficult matter.

Beautiful eyes that turned softly looked at Ghani fixedly. "If you want to go abroad, you have to have a lot of money, yes, Pa?"

Ghani laughed out loud at Aurora's question. The little princess always asked questions that sometimes she herself was difficult to answer.

Then, something unexpected happened. Aurora broke free from the embrace of the papa then ran to her room and came out again with a chicken-shaped piggy bank.

The little girl thrust the piggy bank to Ghani. He plainly said, "Here, Pa, Rara's savings were taken to pick Mama up so Mama could go home and be with us."

Ghani was deeply moved by her daughter's words. He did teach Aurora to diligently save, but it was from their chat Aurora took the initiative to break her piggy bank. Again, this was done so that he could meet his mother.

In his heart Ghani regretted because the story he corroded became his own imagination in the mind of his daughter. However, if it is not like that he himself has difficulty answering Aurora's questions.

"Yes, let it be full first piggy bank, only later we open. Not enough now, darling. Aurora eat first, yes, let's get big fast. If it gets big and healthy soon, Mama will be happy to meet Aurora. Moreover, this daughter of Papa is very beautiful." Ghani's index finger is pointing at the tip of the pretty guy's nose.

Ghani no longer knows how to dampen the wishes of Aurora who wants to meet her mother soon. Tell the truth? I don't think Ghani can. How he could tell if actually both of Aurora's parents had died.

To marry a woman then say that the woman is her mother Aurora, of course, Ghani did not want to because he promised himself that he would marry no one but the woman he had taken his chastity to.

If only I could have met the girl, I would have surely calmed down and apologized to her, Inner Ghani.

Ghani is not a jerk who likes to steal opportunities. Especially to sleep with a woman he did not know before. Ghani himself did not understand why that night he became so full of emotion. All he remembered was being on the body of a woman who kept crying and begging to stop the action. Hearing the voice of pain groaning actually aroused his increasingly unstoppable passion.

"Papa, I want to eat, but Papa's a bribe" Aurora said, breaking Ghani's daydreams.

Ghani blinked a few times and smiled broadly at his beloved son. "Yes, Honey. Yes yuk, we go to the dining room. Tina's mom cooked your favorite food, huh." The man reached out his hand, then Aurora's tiny fingers greeted him. Then they walked to the dining table.

"It's good that we're eating Mama's food huh, Pa?" Aurora chattered all the way. The discussion is still about .. mama.

Ghani was silent at the words of his daughter. It seems like Aurora is currently in need of the presence of a mother figure. If you think about it, Ghani becomes frustrated himself.

Do I have to hire a babysitter to accompany Aurora? So that my daughter does not feel lonely because there is no mother figure nearby? ghani asked in his heart.

There used to be a babysitter who helped care for Aurora since she was a baby, but it has been a few months since the babysitter returned home because she had to get married. Since then Ghani has not intended to find a replacement babysitter because he thinks Aurora has started school and spent more time in school.

"Papa, why shut up? Come, eat. I'm hungry." Aurora's soft voice made Ghani reawaken from her daydream.

Now Ghani realizes that she really needs a nanny for Aurora. Although more time was spent at school, but with Ghani's busy schedule in the hospital, he also could not accompany his daughter at all times.

"Bec ... Papa long ago. My stomach is lager, I want to eat fried chicken. Come on, I'll help Papa walk. Papa must be tired, 'Will he finish his job?" Aurora then grabbed Ghani's arm. The man was filled with a sense of haru because Aurora had grown into a child who cared about the surroundings and also had a great sense of empathy.

"Prophey, honey, we'll meet Mama later. Aurora's a good, smart kid can definitely wait for Mama to come home." I don't know why it just slid from Ghani's lips. Didn't she realize that what was just said actually made Aurora's hopes of a mother's figure soar?

"Aurora must be waiting for Mama to come home, Pa." The little girl looked up her head to bring the two netra together. Aurora also tried to smile sweetly so that Ghani did not feel sad.
