My Brother's Bed Rattles
Restu Mommy

"Mom" said Ayden, who was now standing in front of Tiya's mother. Still with baby Lily and Risa beside him.

"Sit down" Mommy asked as she extended her hand before Ayden. He wanted Ayden to hand Lily's baby to him immediately.

Ayden understood and immediately handed the baby Lily to Mommy. "This, Mom. Be careful" Ayden said.

"Ish, you are! Mommy is much more experienced than you are about babies. Sok-sook to teach Mommy," said Mommy Tiya while bending her face to Ayden.

Ayden chuckled softly. "I'll just remind you, Mom."

Mommy Tiya watched the baby Lily who was on her lap carefully. Instead of being scared or crying when she sees someone new, baby Lily puts on an adorable smile for Mommy Tiya.

Mommy, who was a little upset, suddenly lost sight of that adorable smile. Unknowingly, Mommy Tiya started chattering with baby Lily.

Risa and Ayden looked at each other for a moment. They looked moved because baby Lily managed to melt the hard heart of a Mommy Tiya.

After being content to chatter with baby Lily, Mommy Tiya also refocused on Risa and Ayden.

"Ayden, now Mommy's asking you. Is it true that you still love Risa?" Mommy Tiya stared fixedly at Ayden who was sitting right in front of her.

Ayden nodded quickly while clasping Risa's hand so tightly. "Yes, Mom. With all my body's soul."

Mommy breathed a heavy breath. "But loving a single childless widow is not as easy as you think, Ayden."

Mommy glanced at Risa. "I'm sorry, Risa. I said it like this. Prefer the cleplas-ceplos than the back. Pretend good, but in the back stab."

Risa nodded slowly. "Yes, Aunt. It's okay."

"I'm serious, Mommy. And I've thought about it carefully" Ayden said later.

Mommy took a long breath. "Loving someone like Risa is not as easy as loving a single woman. Risa and Lily are one package. So, if you love Risa, then you should love Lily too" Mommy said.

"Yes, Mom. I totally understand. Besides Risa, I also love Lily with all my heart. He's been taken like my own son" said Ayden so steadily.

Ayden smiled broadly after hearing Mommy Tiya's words just now. "Ja-so Mommy approved of our relationship?" asked Ayden enthusiastically.

"Hmmm," muttered Mommy.

Ayden reflexively grabbed onto Risa's shoulder and then kissed the top of her head to make Mommy Tiya's eyes perfectly round.

"Hey, keep your distance!" firmly Mommy.

"Ehm, I'm sorry, Mommy. I reflex because I'm so happy."

"And one more thing, if later you have another child with Risa, please pay attention to Lily. Mommy doesn't want you to be a loving parent. Don't discriminate them. If that happens, then Mommy herself will intervene," continued Mommy with a bent face looking at Ayden.

"What would Mommy do?" Ayden chuckled softly. "But, yeah. I promise and Mommy can keep my promise. Mommy knows for herself, doesn't I always keep my word."

"Be aware if you dare to lie. Mommy won't hesitate to step in and take Lily away from you. Can't you see her adorable face? Poor him, he also needs affection from you as a father" Mommy said later.

"Geez, Mommy. Why did Mommy say that? I love Lily so much, there's no way I'm being that bad, '" Ayden replied.

"Yes, who knows and Mommy really doesn't want that" Mommy said.

"Oh yeah, isn't Risa's current status still unclear? So, when are you gonna help me take care of it, Ayden? And remember, after Risa officially divorced, you still have to wait for some time to carry out the marriage," said Mommy trying to remind.

"The plan after this I will accompany Risa to take care of everything. Pray that everything goes well, Mom. Without any hindrance" Ayden said.

"Yes, may everything go according to your wishes and expectations. Mommy can only wish you both the best and this little one" Mommy said, kissing Lily's head.

"Aamiin's."
