Marrying the Father of My Foster Son
A Hunch

After driving Queensha back to the senses, Ghani goes to meet Zahira at the brother's residence. Before flying to Makasar, he wanted to ensure the safety of Aurora who is currently staying at her twin sister's house.

"First brother? I think who's this evening has a guest coming to visit" Zahira said. Quite surprised because Ghani does not usually come to the house without telling him first.

"I'm sorry, if my arrival here interrupts your and Shaka's rest."

"Ish, interrupt what, anyway, sister. It just so happened that me, Mas Shaka and Rora and the Twins were watching television together. We ... just finished dinner."

Zahira shifted her body to allow her first brother to enter the house, then asked Budhe Erna to prepare a drink for her special guest.

"Tumben, Brother Ghani came here without sending a message first. What was? Do you want to pick Rora back home?" ask Zahira curiously.

Head shaking fast. "No, Deck. Brother coming here just wants to leave Rora to you. For the next two or three days, Brother wants to go to Makassar, take care of important business there. Therefore, Big Brother asked you for help, during the go let Rora stay here."

"Not that Brother does not believe in Mother and Father, it's just that I feel not up to the heart if it continues to bother both of our parents. It's enough they bother to take care of us when we were children, yes after adulthood, I again trouble Daddy and Mommy to take care of and take care of Rora while I'm gone. I ... not to the heart when it has to trouble them for the umpteenth time."

"Had I brought Rora home, she'd be lonely not having any friends to play with. If here, there is Mayumi and Allan who accompany me so that my daughter does not feel lonely while playing," continued Ghani explained why he was far from feeling calm leaving Aurora at the house of his sister.

Not that Ghani does not believe in Rayyan and Arumi, the man born thirty-three years ago does not want to trouble his parents. He wants elderly couples who are famous for being great in the medical world can enjoy their retirement without being bothered by the affairs of grandchildren and other things.

Frowning, Zahira asked, "Well, where is Big Brother going? How sudden."

Ghani did not immediately tell him why he had gone to Makassar. He is in a dilemma between telling Zahira or not. There will be accepted consequences if one of the two options is chosen by him.

Glanced at Zahira's stomach which began to bulge. Pregnancy in the second trimester makes the abdomen of the sister begin to look protruding forward.

Sighs long. After thinking for a moment Ghani thought not to tell Zahira first. Let it be later if there is a time and opportunity then he told his twin sister.

"Sorry, you can't tell me anything yet. But for sure, this matter is very important to me so I hope that you and Shaka are willing to take care of Rora as long as I am gone. You ... want to, right, take care of Rora for the next two or three days?" ask Ghani to make sure. Fearing that Zahira and her sister-in-law, Shaka objected to Aurora's presence in their midst.

Zahira pouted and turned the eyeballs lazily. "Of course I'm willing, brother. Brother, don't think about it, deh. Rora's my niece so how could I object to your request."

There was a rough sigh coming from Ghani. Had to think if Zahira was upset because he kept Aurora there.

"Thank God then, brother can calm down now. Oh yeah, as long as you're gone, Queensha will meet Rora here often. My relationship with him is starting to improve so if he comes here, please don't make it difficult."

Zahira nodded obediently, knowing a little about Ghani's household and Queensha. However, he does not know if Queensha is actually the birth mother of his beloved nephew. And certainly not also know if Aurora is the daughter of her twin sister.

"Well, why don't I feel comfortable like this, anyway. What exactly is going to happen to me?" The girl's hand held her heart that kept pumping faster than usual. For some reason since yesterday afternoon, Lita's feeling was not calm, as if something was going to happen to her. However, he himself did not know what would happen to him in the future.

When Lita was pensive, Mia who was talking in the living room with Sarman was made curious about what her only child was doing.

"Mas, I'll hang with Lita for a second. If you sleep and want to sleep, I'll catch up first."

Sarman turned his attention from the television screen in front of him towards Lita. He looked at his love fruit with eyes full of question marks.

"Yes, you go with Lita. I don't care if you live alone" said Sarman.

"What's wrong with you, Ta? Mama noticed since this afternoon daydreaming continues. Did you catch a banana tree waiter in the back of the house?"

Mia's voice managed to restore Lita's consciousness which had disappeared for a while. The girl blinked her eyes a few times, then turned to the source of the voice.

"Mama? Just amaze me!" lita complained in a row, giving room for Mia to sit next to her.

"Why are you sitting alone outside? Why not join your mom and dad? Remember Lita, now your mom and dad have been referred. That means you have to respect him as much as you respect Gunawan."

Lita hissing. "For what do you refer to a cool guy like him, Ma? He can give us nothing but misery. The proof since I was a child our lives were daggers even to buy rice alone is difficult. Uh, now Mama's turning it over."

Mia clenched both hands on the right and left side. That speech really pierced into the deepest heart. He used to hate Sarman a lot, but somehow the subtle vibrations re-emerged in him after going through the many twists and turns of life until the peak he was willing to marry his ex-husband again.

"So your mouth, Lita! No matter how he is your real father, you must respect."

Mia placed her right leg on her left thigh. The air around felt hot despite the gusts of wind flying a child's hair that covered his face.

"You haven't answered my mother's question. What are you doing here?" mia asked annoyed.

Lita pursed her lips forward, upset that Mia was defending Sarman more than her. "I was thinking what big things would happen to us later on. My feelings were uncomfortable, always agitated and kept me from focusing on doing anything. I'm afraid something bad is happening to all of us."

Mia who never believed anything just laughed. The stomach feels itchy as if thousands of invisible hands tickle him.

"Omong empty! Don't believe so much, Lita! Trust me, Mom, if it's just your feelings." Mia approached Lita and stared fixedly at the princess's brown iris. "Even if something bad happens to us, I'm sure, Sarman can protect you and mama."

"Your father is great, immune to anything. So, trust me, nothing bad can happen to both of us." Mia patted Lita's cheeks slowly. "Rather than daydreaming, you better sleep. Look, it's eleven o'clock at night. Girls don't sleep late."
