Marrying the Father of My Foster Son
Second Chance
Queensha is still in the arms of her ex-husband, she poured out all the sadness that was harbored for five years. In front of Ghani, for the first time Queensha showed his weakest side that was unknown to others including Lulu, his best friend.
Ghani's embrace grew tighter as her eyes glanced far away, imagining how difficult Queensha's life was until the woman had to work hard to slam bones to make enough of her life. The more regret he felt for ever hurting that woman.
"I'm sorry that I got your clothes wet" Queensha said after a hug unraveled. The lentic fingers wipe away the remaining tears that wet the cheeks.
Ghani softly replied, "It doesn't matter if my clothes are dry. It is important that your current mood is much calmer than before."
The man touched the tip of Queensha's chin then stared at the pair of narrowed eyes tightly. When the eyes clashed against each other, a strange beat in their chests, then the flash of events five years ago again appeared in the memory of the memory of both.
Unable to withstand the fine pounding on the chest, Queensha subdued his gaze. The eyeball was too sharp to make the woman's body become weak instantly.
"Queensha?" call Ghani lirih.
"Hm. What's up, sir?" This time Queensha called her ex-husband 'father', just like when they first met. His voice sounded soft in his ears.
"All the veils that have been hidden for five years are finally revealed and the truth that says our daughter has died is not true. After I managed to get Mia, Lita and Sarman, are you willing to refer me? I want to marry you a second time not because of the coercion of others but myself."
"Let me correct the mistakes that have been made in the past. I promise I will never repeat the same mistake. How, will you be a wife and mother to our daughter, Aurora?" ghani asked with hope.
Queensha was silent for a moment. The woman's mind was blank for a moment, not knowing what to say. Refer to Ghani after what has been done in the past makes her think she should accept her ex-husband's offer? Will their household end up happy while the pain is still there.
"Queensha, are you willing to accept me again to be your husband? Let us raise Aurora together, educate her well to grow up to be a smart and devoted child to parents."
Queensha lowered Ghani's hand that touched the end of her chin and then walked two steps forward. "Come, sir, I don't know what to answer. All this just all too suddenly makes me not know what to say."
Sighing for a long breath while closing your eyes for a moment, trying to remove all the burden of the mind. "If I'm honest, I'm still heartbroken about what you did a few days ago. With insults, yells and asks me to stay away from Aurora forever even though Mr. Ghani knows how much Aurora means to my life."
Ghani stepped forward and stood next to Queensha. "Why don't you continue? Is there something still holding your heart? Just tell me don't be damned yourself, I don't want you to fall ill from holding it alone." Seemed the look of a face full of anxiety emanated on the beautiful face.
"If I accept your invitation then what about Cassandra? I don't want to hurt her feelings if we decide to refer and stay at home as usual. She must have been heartbroken to feel that I had taken you from her side."
In one move Ghani twisted Queensha's body until they faced each other. For a while the two were dissolved in silence. Memories of five years ago when both their bodies fused together without any obstructions at all flashed in each other's minds.
"Why are you even thinking about other people's feelings, Sha? Do you think Cassandra thinks of your feelings too? The answer is no, no. So, don't make that woman a barrier in our relationship."
Ghani holds Queensha's hand. "Again why do you still think Cassandra is my lover. Didn't I explain that there is no relationship between us. I consider him just an ordinary friend, nothing more."
"How about him, though? What if Cassandra expects your relationship to be more than friends?" queensha said as she watched Ghani's fingers gently rub the back of her hand.
"What care about her anyway I'm not interested in that woman at all."
Ghani slipped Queensha's wind-blown hair child behind the ear. Then stroked the smooth cheek of the ex-wife. "In this world there is only one woman who catches my attention. From then until now, he was all I wanted. You want to know who that guy is?" Queensha shook her head. "He is you, Queensha. You ...."
"But .. I still doubt my own decision. I'm afraid that my decision will hurt a lot of people" Queensha said.
A heavy sigh was heard coming from Ghani. "I understand how you feel, it's hard to forget all the bad memories I've made in your heart. It doesn't matter if you are still in doubt, but there is one thing you must remember that I will continue to wait until you answer 'yes'."
Ghani flanked Queensha's stained fingers and grabbed them. "You must miss Aurora, don't you? How about I take you to see him, he'll be so happy to see you."
Without waiting for an answer, Ghani pulls Queensha's hand and they step together towards the car park. Today Ghani wants to invite Queensha to go to the home of his parents because he wants to bring together a pair of mothers and children who had been separated for five years.
