Marrying the Father of My Foster Son
The Introduction to Sleep Song

The sweat flooded Queensha's forehead and neck. His body was agitatedly erratic. The woman's eyelids closed, but her lips were rummaging as if she was asking someone for help.

"No. Please don't take my chastity, sir! I'm a good woman. I'm not a jal*ng. Mr. .. no, sir! No!" yelled Queensha hysterically. Suddenly, his two closed eyes opened wide again when he felt cold sweat begin to pour down his body. The cold room apparently can not get rid of sweat that appears to the surface of the skin.

Queensha stared at the ceiling of the treatment room which was dominated by white and green. The woman's breath stung as if she had just run a marathon, going around the ball court. For the umpteenth time, he dreamed of a fateful incident that took his chastity while working in Japan.

Swiping the chest tries to neutralize the heartbeat that is beating faster than before. "God, why do I have to dream about it again? Though it was a long time ago, but why do I still have those bad memories?" Sighing deeply and heavily, he said, "What way can I forget that? I'm so tired, God. Really tired."

The beautiful woman sat on the headboard of the bed then grabbed a bottle of drinking water that had been prepared by office girl, Arumi's man. He spent the mineral water until the contents were half left.

Queensha's eye-tailed glanced at the wall clock attached to the wall of the treatment room. The time was eight o'clock at night and somehow got a push from where the woman got off the patient's bed.

"I'd better go to Rora's room, see if she's human or not." Queensha uncovers the blanket with a long line motif that stretches from top to bottom.

Walking down the hallway is quiet, only accompanied by the cold sourced from the air conditioning and the sound of crickets that are mutually unpretentious. Tonight the moon shines again on the earth. It looks so beautiful and beautiful.

Meanwhile, it appeared that a little girl had just woken up from her long sleep. The round eyelids move slowly. The lashes also move slowly.

When the round eyeball opened wide, the face of Mia and Lita as well as how steady they were when snapping at her were recorded back in the memory of the little girl. Kudu feathers bristled followed by a body shaking violently with the tail of the eyes that moved restlessly to and fro.

"No. Rora doesn't want to be the same Grandma. Rora wants Mama and Papa. Mamma. Papa's. Please Rora!" cry Aurora with a face full of anxiety. A clear brown iris glazed over as she recalled Queensha's mother and half-sister's treatment of her.

Queensha, who was standing in the doorway, immediately pushed the door wide open when she heard a scream coming from the nursery.

Queensha' eyes widened when he found Aurora's body shaking violently on the bed. Fortunately, the infusion needle stuck in the back of the hand is not removed from its place.

Walking half-run, Queensha approached Aurora. "Rora, Honey. What's wrong with you, son? Tell Mama, what's sick?" Putting that tiny body in a hug. Occasionally kiss the top of the little girl's head with love.

"Mama, Rora's scared. Grandma's the same evil Rora, Ma."

Aurora's voice sounded very soft. He expressed what made his body afraid so that the crystal circle also glided between the cheeks.

"Sst, relax. Mama's here, honey. I won't let a single person hurt you. Yes, don't cry anymore!" Queensha' hands gently patted Aurora's back, hoping the little girl calmed down again.

Although Queensha has gone to great lengths to stop Aurora's tears, the kidnapping incident has left its own trauma for the princess.

"Wicked granny, Ma. Grandma pinches Rora's thigh. Rora was so scared, Mama," said with a sob. Aurora's body is getting fuller. He's getting a hug on Queensha's back. He was really afraid that Mia would come back, snapping and pinching her thighs so hard that it left a bluish-red color to the little boy.

Queensha' heart was slashed by a knife that had just been sharpened when he heard Aurora's words. His guess turns out to be true that Mia managed to injure his beloved daughter.

"Everthing's gonna be okay. As long as you have a mom, you'll be fine. I will never let those two Devils hurt you again. I promise." Queensha hardened her jaw, and the determination to make the calculations for Mia and Lita had already made Aurora suffer.

As a mother, of course Queensha's heart was broken to pieces seeing the suffering Aurora was going through. Although they had only been living together for two months under the same roof, their hearts were already linked to each other. When Aurora was hit by a disaster, Queensha's chest was very painful as if crushed by a very large chunk of stone.

After feeling calm, then Queensha unravel their embrace. He rubbed the child's hair that covered most of Aurora's face. "Now Rora's booby again, huh? Mama will wait for you here until Papa comes back."

Drowsiness still faithfully accompanies the night Aurora. Either because she was tired after crying or because her body was much calmer shortly after being hugged by Queensha, the round-eyed little girl nodded obediently. Aided by Queensha, Aurora restores her body on the bed.

Queensha pulled a blanket taddy bear motif until the pink cloth covered the tip of the foot to the chest. Squeezing the two cheeks while looking at the beautiful brown iris and clear.

When the brown iris was exposed to the reflection of light rays coming from the room, Queensha's heart seemed to stop near for a while. 'Why do I feel like Rora's face looks so much like mine when I was a kid. Starting from hobbies and food abstinence was the same as me. Don't-don't .. he ....

Shaking his head quickly, dispelling the impossible thoughts that had crossed his mind. 'Don't think no, Sha! Where could Rora be your daughter. Didn't you see for yourself how the gravediggers buried your daughter's body next to your Papa and Mama's? There's no way your daughter's coming back to life.'

'This is the real world, not the novel world that all possibilities can happen. So, you better get rid of that thought before your heart gets tormented.'

To distract her from re-routing old wounds, Queensha sings a lullaby that she often sings while still carrying a fetus, the result of the deed of a foreign man who is none other than Ghani.

The song's lyrics were specially created by Queensha herself for her little daughter who was still in the womb. Every time his stomach feels cramping due to being too tired to work to support himself, he will hum softly while rubbing his stomach. Miraculously, the pain will go away.

Sleep Daughter. Dear daughter. Close your eyes and sleep well. Mama will accompany you here until dawn returns.

That's the song Queensha sang. Although his beloved daughter had returned to the Creator a few years ago, but he still regretted the lyrics of his own creation.

Aurora's eyeballs started to blink. Her tiny mouth yawned several times and the next second the little girl was closed with one hand holding the mother's clasped fingers.

"What a good boy, honey. Mama is sure that tomorrow morning everything will be beautiful again as before" whispered softly next to her ear. Don't forget Queensha put a kiss full of love on Aurora's forehead.

As Queensha kissed Aurora on the forehead, the door of the treatment room opened and revealed Ghani standing arrogantly in the doorway. The chest of the flower deflated with both palms clenched perfectly to show the fine veins protruding on the back of the hand.

"Queensha Azura Gunawan! What are you doing here? Didn't I ever tell you to stay away from Rora! Why are you coming here now?" cecar Ghani with a sigh. Truly, he could not help but scold his wife.

Queensha sighed. Feeling grateful for Ghani coming in when he had managed to calm Aurora down and coax the boy back into a deep sleep. If Ghani had come while they were hugging, perhaps the man would have separated Aurora from her in his arms.

"Rora just went to bed. Shouldn't we just talk outside? Outside you can scold, insult or slap me even if I don't mind. But please, don't make a scene here. Poor Rora, she needs peace after the hardest day of her life" Queensha asked in hope.

Ghani glanced at Queensha then turned to the tiny figure lying under a thick blanket made of 100% cotton%. Then he breathed a rough breath.

"alright. Looks like we should talk seriously."

After turning off the main light in the treatment room and replacing it with a sleeping light, Ghani walked out of the room with Queensha following behind. They walked down the aisle of the hospital, then stopped in a fairly quiet place. Far from the reach of others so that they are free to speak from heart to heart.
