Marrying the Father of My Foster Son
"I Love You"

Queensha's eyes glared indicating that she did not like the joke that the ex-husband had just thrown. However, the suspect was relaxed as if he did not realize that the gaze was directed at him.

Stepping leisurely closer to the two women he deeply cared about. "Rora wants to have a baby twin, right?" Ghani's question was answered nodding Aurora's head. "Calm down, you and Mama give your baby a very cute little sister even more adorable than your classmate's sister, Tiara."

The round eyeballs sparkled in disbelief. "really? Papa didn't lie, did he? Papa's gonna give Rora baby twins a bite."

Ghani reached out a hand forward then rubbed the top of her daughter's head lovingly. "Of course, papa might lie. Papa will grant your request. But Rora must be diligent in praying to God, asking Him to help papa persuade Mama that the three of us live together again as before. If we stay in one more house, Rora also prayed that the baby's grandpa will be present in Mama's stomach."

When he said the last sentence, Ghani raised both eyebrows deliberately teasing Queensha. Bad words from Ghani's lips successfully caused a tinge of pink hue on the cheeks, the woman's face reddened like fresh tomatoes that had just been picked from the garden.

"OK, Papa. Rora must be diligent in praying for God to grant Rora's request." Then the girl came down from her lap and stood in front of her parents. "If so Rora take a shower first, will soon want TPA school. If you are already at school, Rora will ask classmates and also the Teacher to help pray so that in the stomach of Mama there is a baby grandpa."

The little guy's face went forward and then kissed Ghani and Queensha's cheeks. "Rora dear Papa and Mama." After that he asked Ijah to accompany him to the room, helping him prepare not to be late to go to school.

Queensha and Ghani are left in the living room. Ghani sat quietly glancing occasionally at the woman while the twenty-five-year-old looked uneasy sitting next to her ex-husband. I don't know why the woman's heart always beats fast every time it is near Ghani even though the handsome man who works as a surgeon has hurt her heart, but that fine beat was still there until this very moment.

"Why is your face red? It is impossible 'caused by food allergies because as far as I know Mbak Tina does not serve foods that contain basic ingredients of nuts that cause you to be allergic. Or .. lest you be shamed for shame because our daughter asked for a baby sister." Ghani again teases the woman who has given him a beautiful daughter named Aurora Syafiatunnisa.

When he first saw the face of the princess, Ghani's heart was immediately tethered to the tiny figure in front of him. The little baby's face shines like the sun in the morning. His red cheeks blushed, his pure white skin like cotton made the man fall in love at first sight. For this reason, Ghani named Aurora because the presence of the baby was like a lantern illuminating his dark life.

Queensha' reflex patted Ghani's thigh beside him. "Omong is empty, where might I be ashamed just from hearing Aurora's request. I-I ... My face was ...."

"Ah, forget it. I'm not talking about it." A look away conceals a pink hue on the face. The longer the pink tinge the more clearly visible on his white face.

Queensha cursed herself for imagining the flash of events when she was making love to Ghani. The sound of sighs, groans and groans sourced from both are still recorded clearly in the ear making his face heat up.

Ghani chuckled. "Well, if that's what you want I don't talk about it anymore." The man glanced at the wall clock in the living room, the time showed at four in the afternoon and an hour later he had to return to the hospital because of the scheduled surgery.

"Oh yes, Sha. If you don't mind can you stay here last night? Dad and Mommy are staying at Zahira's house and just come home tomorrow afternoon while I am in the night shift and there is an operating schedule. I was worried that Rora would wake up in the middle of the night having a bad dream and cry hysterically without anyone calming her down."

"Father was actually in the hospital at night, right? Not coming home in the middle of the night?" queensha's office made sure first.

"Yes, unless you want me to go home to be as alone as I am now. While the house is quiet we can freely do anything without fear of being caught by Father and Mother," Ghani joked more and more good at teasing Queensha.

Ghani laughed at how adorable Queensha was right now. The attitude of the woman is like a teenager who is upset with a lover of heart.

Catching both hands Queensha is still busy hitting his arm. "It's really me, Sha. I'd be nice in front of people I love, but if it's in front of other people it turns into a cold guy who has a creepy look."

In one move Ghani pulled Queensha's hand until their bodies touched. Eyes look at each other, dive into the beauty of God's creation ahead there. Both hearts were pounding.

"Queensha, I love you" Ghani said, putting Queensha's forehead on her forehead. Blocked eyes enjoy his heartbeat that beats in rhythm with the woman's heartbeat. The Earth feels stopped spinning when she can touch back the woman who was so meaningful in her life after Arumi, beloved mother.

"But, Sir-"

"Sst, don't call me that. Sounds so formal, Sha. Later people think I'm your boss, when in fact I am .. your future husband."

Queensha was glued and frozen in place. His tongue was as though he could not say a word.

"Neng Rora, we're per-"

The little one's index finger stuck to the lips, giving Ijah a code to not make a sound. Ijah immediately clenched his lips and stepped slowly closer to the grandson of the master.

"Bibik, don't be noisy when you hear Mama and Papa!" aurora lirih.

Answering with a voice no less clear. "Why can't it be noisy, Neng?"

"Let's disturb Mama and Papa, Bik. Rora wants to see Mama and Papa together again like before. Well, that's why we can't bother Mama and Papa."

"Then, how Neng Rora went to school later bad luck."

Instead of answering Ijah's question, Aurora grinned to reveal a row of white teeth. In that instant Ijah also put on a smile on his face understanding the meaning of that smile.
