Mom For Alleta
Chapter 15: Raina's little promise.

Raina turned around, his view met with Allan, could not be denied, Allan more attractive than Johan, Johan's personality is too good and flat make everything ordinary.

"enter". Allan's orders after misbehaving due to a fight with his adopted sister.

"i still want to be here". Raina tried to control her own feelings, her heart could not resist Allan's charm.

"why?" allan asked while sitting on the balcony chair.

"mas Allan is in".

"are you angry?" feeling something was wrong with Raina, Allan tried to find answers by looking at Raina's face staring blankly at the deserted streets.

"rain?" call Allan again.

"mas, Allan entered, Raina again wanted to be alone".

"this is about Aleta, I'm sorry, I don't have any experience with taking care of children".

"don't have one, don't you want one?" answer Raina cynically.

"i can't accept Aleta yet, I never expected to have a child with Valerie, she's just a paid girl, she's just making toys".

"do you think Aleta wants rich parents too? Aleta also cannot choose from the womb who she was born with".

"rain, you should understand, I meet all Aleta's needs, is that lacking?" Allan looks frustrated.

"Aleta does not just need money and possessions, children the age of Aleta need affection to shape her personality".

"mama loves Aleta". Allan's gaze shifted, from staring at Raina now looking at her daughter who was still asleep.

"mas don't see how many bad things he's been through himself? even he endured the pain in the pinch, bitten in beat Marni because Marni always said, if she did not say then mas will love him, mas never thought Aleta's feelings, I never thought, every time he called the mas called papa but mas as if he did not care?"

Allan was silent, only the balcony tiles could be his place to throw out the view, his hands clenched firmly, his heart ached, all he remembered was that Aleta's presence had her career ruined.

"the birth of Aleta ruined my life".

"mas Allan sendiri yang membawa Aleta ke dunia ini, mungkin nanti saat dia dewasa dia akan berfikir bahwa tidak pernah di lahirkan pasti lebih baik daripada hidup dalam keadaan seperti ini".

Raina was about to leave Allan on the balcony, but her steps came to a halt when Allan grabbed her hand.

"rain, help me, teach me to sing Aleta, like you love her". Allan's lips quivered, tears welled up in her eyes.

"rasa sayang akan timbul karena terbiasa, biasakan untuk mengajak Aleta bermain, setidaknya 10 menit sehari".

"Aleta needs mama, and Monica can't possibly take that position".

"then?"

"whatever". Allan first went in, looked at Aleta softly, then sat down on the chair by the little girl's bed. "you just sleep, let me take care of Alleta".

That night, time runs slow, Raina who can't sleep repeatedly checks the state of Aleta, and her papa. Raina's mind drifted, remembering Johan's words about Monica who once helped Allan to bring Aleta to the orphanage, it was a sign Monica did not want Aleta in her relationship with Allan.

Allan slept on the sofa, with shorts and a thin T-shirt making Allan fold his hands on his chest to reduce the cold. Raina who saw him immediately picked up a blanket in the closet to cover Allan who was asleep.

-

"Auti's a bribe, baby, Aleta's better, right?" Raina was holding a bowl of porridge that had just been delivered by an officer. But Aleta's glance leads to Allan who is just petrified.

Raina immediately gave her porridge to Allan, her face looking confused with the porridge bowl in her hand.

"baby while asking how it is, he said he wanted to be close to Aleta?" raina whispered, Allan nodded.

"honey, Aunt Rain took a bath, ate a lot of equally papa". with one blink of an eye, Raina left the child and went into the bathroom.

"let's eat, you have to eat a lot". Allan asked Aleta to open her mouth in a high tone, more like a scolding person than a feeding person.

Aleta opened her mouth, one bribe after another bribe went into Aleta's mouth, the porridge was almost gone when Raina came out of the bathroom with wet hair.

Aleta looked at her tant with teary eyes, it was obvious that she was holding back the crying from earlier, Raina who saw that came straight to her.

"honey, why?" Raina was confused, Aleta suddenly hugged her tightly while sobbing. Raina's gaze turned to Allan who had gotten up and put on her jacket.

"i went rain". desperation was evident on Allan's face. Raina just nodded.

How can it be, Raina who is just a stranger mediates between the children she just met a few months ago.

"Aunty, are you gone?" Aleta peeked out from behind Raina's body, looking for her papa's whereabouts.

"dear daddy, baby, Aleta why cry?"

"papa angratin Aleta".the little girl hiccupped, making her fever rise again.

"later Aunty Rain temurin papa, let's not be fierce again with Aleta?"

"Promise? Aunt Rain wants to upset papa?".

"yes baby, promise". Raina raises her pinkie, a sign of a promise to Aleta.

-

"hey Aleta, are you healed?" Monica entered without knocking on the door, the sound of her high heels sounding nauseating to Raina.

"cook diem anyway, this Aunt brought chocolate to Aleta". the woman held out a few Silverqueen sticks and kinder joy to Aleta. The little girl flinched.

"uhhh...no want to? what do you want, baby? the puppet? a toy?" Monica continues to seduce Aleta, while Allan is just silently fixated on seeing her lover's futile efforts.

"sad, later if it's healed want Auntie buyin what? a bicycle? a scooter? or roller skates?" Aleta simply shook her head, as if uninterested in all of that.

"ah, bodo very, I don't care, I want to go home". Monica breezed away, slamming the door with all her might, in no way reflecting that she was an educated woman.

"his girlfriend is hooked, not chased?" raina's Insincer to Allan.

"Aleta, you can't be like Aunt Monica ..!!!". Allan shouted at his son without pity. Aleta is back.

"mas, you better get out, I won't stay silent if you're evil with Aleta again, from today, tomorrow, and so on, I'm in charge of Aleta". Raina was crying, her face was flushed red, it was obvious that right now she was really angry at Allan.

"rain, don't be manjain, he's wrong so it should be angry".

"wrong, wrong is you, you were wrong in the past, but you vented your disappointment over yourself on Aleta". Raina pointed at Allan's chest with her index finger her voice was soft even almost whispering but turned off her interlocutor. Allan just fell silent, he closed his eyes, could no longer answer Raina's slurs, it seemed that was what Allan had felt all along, Aleta was an outlet for her disappointment towards herself.

"gold out, let me take care of Aleta". Raina pointed to the door, hinting that she wanted Allan to leave.

"sorry rain". Just sorry Allan was able to say, at a glance he glanced at Aleta before leaving.
