Marrying the Father of My Foster Son
Mom and Daughter-in-law Dream

The time was nine o'clock when Ghani left the hospital where he worked. Today he is preoccupied with a pile of work that makes the man do not have the slightest time just to stretch stiff muscles. Serving as the head of the Bougenville ward and deputy director of the hospital, the man born thirty-three years ago bears a great responsibility on his shoulders.

Tired up? Of course it is. However, Ghani did not complain in the slightest because he knew that the future of the hospital of his late beloved grandmother would fall to him after his father retired later.

Ghani glanced at a pack of paper bag unicorn images of a blend of pink and purple beautified with a ribbon on the front. A smile spread across the man's lips.

"Aurora must be happy to get this prize" murmured Ghani. Inside the paper bag was a stuffed cat, one of Aurora's pets. Ghani bought the doll as a gift because Aurora had won second place in a coloring competition held at her school.

Without a second thought, Ghani immediately started the engine and stepped on the accelerator leaving the hospital. He could not wait to give the gift to Aurora.

In less than an hour, Ghani's car entered the vast courtyard of the house. Tonight he came home late because there was a schedule of operations that took about four to five hours. Not to mention meetings with several hospital officials to discuss internal problems that occur in his place of work.

When the famous brand leather shoes stepped on the floor of the house, the atmosphere seemed silent no sound of screams and babbles that he usually heard. The main light has been turned off and only the lights in the living room are lit.

"Well, Mommy hasn't slept?" asked Ghani when he realized that his beloved mother was sitting alone while watching foreign television broadcasts.

Arumi shook her head. "How can you sleep if your first child has not arrived home. Did a lot of work cause you to come home late?"

Ghani kissed the back of Arumi's hand after spraying a hand sanitizer into her palm. "Yes, Bun. Lately there has been a lot of work to be done. Especially soon Dad left so do not want me to have to start taking over the responsibility of Dad from now on."

The owner of the narrowed eyes looked up at the head, scanning the atmosphere on the second floor. "Bun, is Rora asleep? Tumben once I didn't hear his scream."

Arumi only smiled faintly at Ghani's words. "Looks like. Last night, after dinner, Rora asked Queensha to accompany her to play in the room maybe your daughter is asleep because she is too tired to play. You see, the new baby sitter Rora is quite painstaking in taking care of my granddaughter the proof is only in the span of one week, they look familiar as they have long known. Though only a few times met, but the woman managed to melt Aurora's heart. Mother's amazed by Queensha."

"Udah mah people are kind, friendly, polite and very loving Rora, anyway a complete package deh. If you have a daughter-in-law like Queensha, you won't regret it because she has krieria as a daughter-in-law and a dream mother for Rora." Arumi seemed enthusiastic when talking about the new baby sitter Aurora.

There was a rough sigh coming from Ghani. "Don't be too flattering for someone, later if you know the dagger, Mommy can be disappointed. Yes, I went to Aurora's room to give her this gift."

Carrying a paper bag in his right hand, Ghani stepped into Aurora's room. He turned the door handle and pushed it wide open. Sure enough, Aurora was asleep under a thick blanket of pink.

Approaching the bed, Aurora's blanket slightly dropped to the waist. Ghani lifted the blanket to the chest and rubbed the hair of his beloved daughter.

"Papa loves you, son. Grow up to be a smart, humble girl and always help others" whispered Ghani, crouching on the side of the bed. Kiss the forehead of the beloved princess for a few seconds.

Aurora's body wriggled and opened her eyes slowly as Ghani's warm lips touched the surface of the skin. "Why are you home?"

Aurora. "No, Pa. I woke up wanting to pee. Well, my stomach is really hard, isn't it?" the answer was plain while carrying Ghani's sturdy hand to the bottom of the stomach.

Ghani helps Aurora get out of bed and accompanies her to the bathroom. He did not feel at all uncomfortable when carrying out his role as a father.

Aurora's tiny body is back on top of the bed. However, this time he was not alone because Ghani also went up to the bed. Ghani stroked the strands of black, dense and jet hair gently.

"Pa, until when did Mama leave? I really wanted to see my mom." Again and again Aurora asked the same question. It seems that the girl never got tired of asking for the whereabouts of the mother.

"Darling, papa' would've told you once, if Mama was working abroad. I don't know when Mama's coming home."

"Pa?" call the little girl clean. "If Mama doesn't come home, why don't you ask Beautiful Brother to be my Mama? Beautiful Sister is good just like Aunty Rara and Aunty Shakeela. Beautiful sister is also very dear to me, Pa."

Aurora feels comfortable and calm when near Queensha. The woman's tenderness, warmth and care are like a mother in the eyes of the little girl, Aurora.

Although there was one baby sitter before Queensha, their relationship was limited to employers and caregivers, nothing more. However, with Queensha, Aurora feels genuine affection like a mother's affection for her child. Aurora asks Ghani to make Queensha her mother.

"Honey, getting married is not an easy matter, papa can not be so aja ask Kak Queensha to be your Mama. There are many things that Papa needs to prepare especially we just got to know him. What if it turns out Queensha's sister is a bad person? Rora wants to stay with someone who just pretends to love you?"

Sontak Aurora shuffles away from Ghani. Her petite fingers gently hit the thigh of the papa. "Did, Papa! Beautiful sister is not a bad person. Beautiful sister is so good with me. When I bullied a classmate, Beautiful Brother said to Mom teacher, then my friends did not bully again. I even play with them now.

"Beautiful sister is also good at pictures, I am often taught pictures every time I go home from school. Look, that picture is Beautiful Brother teaching you, Pa. Good, isn't it?" Aurora pointed at a paper taped to the front wall of the study table.

Ghani follows where Aurora's index finger is pointing. There is indeed a sheet of pictures of natural scenery that is quite good. The beauty of the beach with sand on the edge. A burst of orange color markers that the sunlight back to the contest, looks so beautiful.

Sighing deeply and heavily, Ghani again turned his attention to the small figure next to him. "But .. papa-"

"I don't want to know, Big Brother has to be my Mama!" keukeuh Aurora's. The little girl pouted with both hands folded in front of her chest.

What am I supposed to do? inner Ghani.
