"I accept the marriage and marriage of Queensha Azura Gunawan bint Almarhum Gunawan with dowry a set of prayer equipment and a ring weighing ten grams paid." The loud voice of a man through a loudspeaker echoed throughout the room, making everyone present call out the word 'legitimate'. Then the invited guests were honoured, offering prayers to the Supreme Lord in accordance with their respective religions and beliefs.
Today, exactly two months Queensha worked as the baby sitter Aurora, Ghani officially invited the woman to be his wife. The man who works as a surgeon at one of the famous hospitals in Jakarta, had no choice but to grant the request of his beloved daughter to marry Queensha.
Two weeks ago, Aurora continued to whine at Ghani asking her to make Queensha her mother. Ghani, who has basically no feelings for Queensha, insisted on rejecting her daughter's request. However, the more Ghani refuses, the more Aurora eagerly unites her father and baby sitter until one day ....
"Dear Aurora, wake up, it's time for you to go to school. He said today there will be drawing lessons, brother already ready to put your drawing book and color pencil into the bag. If you go to sleep, you'll be late for school." Queensha continued to speak without turning a single glance towards Aurora. The woman was busy preparing for her foster school needs such as uniforms, socks and shoes and hair accessories for Aurora to wear.
"Darling, I even fell asleep anyway. Let's get up, son." Still saying in a gentle tone, Queensha smiled warmly at Aurora who was still lying on the bed.
Unawakened, Queensha approached and reached out to the front, removing the child's hair that partially covered Aurora's face. However, accidentally touching the little guy's forehead.
To confirm whether Aurora had a fever or not, Queensha touched the little girl's forehead using the back of her hand. That instant also the woman's heart seemed to stop beating when it found the Aurora's body temperature was quite high. He seemed worried about the condition of his foster child.
"God, why does Rora have a fever? What should I tell Pak Ghani and Bu Arumi if they find out." Queensha walked to the P3K box, looking for a thermometer to check Aurora's body temperature.
After finding what he was looking for, he asked for the object to be clamped in the armpit and waited until it sounded like an alarm. "Hold a minute, honey, brother check your body temperature first."
Queensha' hand held up a rectangular object into the air and the woman's eyeball was wide open when the number on the screen showed 40° C. "It's so tall. I need to tell Mr. Ghani right now."
Before leaving Aurora, Queensha stroked the little girl's hair. "Wait a minute, honey, I'll call your dad first." Without a second thought, he ran to the employer's office.
"How can my daughter get a fever? Didn't you notice any food, drinks and anything Rora did until she got sick?" Ghani continued to vent his frustration to Queensha. Along the way to the little one's room, Ghani's lips stopped cursing and nagging Queensha who was considered negligent to look after the favorite daughter.
Queensha balanced Ghani's hasty-looking footsteps. The oriental-faced man left just a pile of work on the desk. In Ghani's life, the Aurora was a very precious treasure in this world. So do not be surprised if at this time he is so worried about the state of his beloved daughter.
"I'm sorry, sir. I was careless for not paying so much attention to Aurora." With what will happen after this, Queensha admitted that she was negligent in carrying out duties as a baby sitter Aurora.
Ghani bowed his body slightly shortly after arriving at Aurora's room. "Darling, can you hear papa's voice?" whispers lirih.
Aurora's eyelids moved, before long her haggard eyes opened perfectly. "Papa, sick. Rora's body hurts all, Pa." Aurora whimpers in pain. The little girl's body was shivering. His face was pale, blue lips accompanied by shortness of breath.
Reflex, Ghani revealed the pajama sleeves worn by Aurora and he was quite surprised to find reddish spots on most of his body. Ghani, who works as a doctor, knew that Aurora was exposed to DHF only from the signs and symptoms.
"Queensha, get Aurora's needs ready, we're going to the hospital right now. My daughter has DHF and needs to be treated before it's too late."
***
After conducting a series of examinations, the pediatrician where Ghani works told that Aurora was indeed affected by dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) which is one of the causes of child death is quite high in some Asian countries, including Indonesia. Therefore, Ghani immediately brought Aurora to get treatment as soon as possible because he did not want anything bad to happen to his little daughter.
Aurora was lying weakly on the hospital bed, an infusion needle stuck in the back of her hand. He had been asleep for an hour, but there was no sign of waking up.
"Darling, sorry papa for not being able to take good care of you." Ghani was sitting limply on the bedside chair of Aurora. His eyes were teary at how much Aurora was suffering.
"Lord, please heal Aurora" said Ghani as she cupped Aurora's tiny finger, then kissed her lovingly.
"Mrs ... Rora kangen's. Mama ...." The high body temperature makes the Aurora delirious. The shrill voice was faintly heard in Ghani's sense of hearing, presenting a turbulent feeling in the man's heart.
Ghani's daydreams fell apart instantly when someone's baritone voice called out his name. "Sir Ghani, please put his wedding ring on the bride's ring finger."
Ghani cleared his throat before following the request of the well-dressed man in charge of marrying them off. Shakeela thrust a crimson ring box in front of her brother and the man pinned the white gold ring as a wedding dowry.
Queensha hesitantly grabs Ghani's hand, about to kiss the back of the man who is now officially her husband. Ghani stared at Queensha's brown irises, still unable to believe that the woman she hired as a nanny changed her status to Ghani Hanan's mistress.
There's no way back, so just accept your bad luck, Ghani. Then, Ghani thrust her hand in front of Queensha who was greeted with a kiss on the back of the hand as a sign of respect for the husband.
"There was no kissing session. Duh, what a pity. Though it is halal, but why is it still shy cat" said Zavier, Ghani's first brother. The man whose face looks like one of the models from China, China, Xu Zhi Bin is famous for sandpaper ceplos so often makes the atmosphere tense to be liquid instantly.
Ghani glared at his sister, as if hinting that he did not like the attitude of his sister. However, Zavier was indifferent even he was as comfortable as his own smile seeing his brother's attitude that looked so tense.
The bottom of the half-brother, plunging his own brother into the abyss, hardik Ghani in heart.
Aurora who was sitting on Zavier's lap crawled slowly towards Ghani. Her tiny hand pulled the end of the bride's clothes. "Papa, let's kiss Beautiful Brother. Pops ...." He whines the same as when asking to buy a new toy.
Ghani could not bear to see Aurora grovel in such a way that she could finally give in and obey the request of the child.
Inhaling deeply, holding it for a while then exhaling slowly. It took a hard struggle to land her warm lips on the surface of Queensha's skin. Queensha closed her eyes as her husband's lips landed perfectly on his forehead. Ghani kissed Queensha's forehead for a few seconds.
When the two are close together in a position that is so intimate, a smooth beat emerges into the recesses of each heart. There were strange feelings that were difficult to decipher, but only they could feel.
The fragrant body of Queensha with shades of red musk out in the air. The sudden flash of the incident where Ghani hit his maleness symbol to the core of a girl's body flashed in the man's mind. The heartbreaking incident seemed to be a nightmare for the man.
Why does her body smell like that girl? Don't-don't he ....
Ghani quickly erased the memory of what happened five years ago. He assured himself that it was not Queensha who he had raped that night.
Hurriedly Ghani pulled back his face and sat down like his original position. Meanwhile, Aurora smiled broadly to see the papa obeying her request.
"Our mission worked, honey," whispered Zavier.
Aurora nodded quickly. "Yes, Uncle. Mission completed." Both of them did tos ala uncle and nephew. Then shortly thereafter a loud snarl was heard from them.
