My Son Is My Strength
Is that Child... ?

"Mamaa." Call Azzam running up to Arini, when he sees his mother coming out of the meeting room.

"Dear." Arini approached Azzam and spread out her arms to hold the child.

"Eh. sorry brother, Azzam was whining to meet with sister. So I just bring it here." Arumi explained before her brother asked.

"Yes, it's okay." Arini answered, rubbing Azzam's hair. "Azzam ate?" Tanya Arini, still rubbing her son's hair.

"Not brother." Arumi answered, because Azzam is now focusing on hugging Arini's neck and keeping his head there.

Suddenly the sound of the door opening, revealed the figure of Bian being followed by Rio from behind, exiting the meeting room.

"Of...." Call Azzam, to the person who just came out of the meeting room.

Azzam's call, made both Bian and Rio look to the source of the voice. And there they could see Arini holding Azzam, the little boy Bian had met in the middle of the road.

"Isn't that the kid we almost hit earlier." Said Rio seeing Azzam being carried by Arini.

Bian did not respond to Rio's words, as he was wandering on his own mind.

"That kid I met this morning, and his face looks a lot like mine." Inner Bian.

Arini turned her back, seeing who this child called om. And at that moment, Arini's body stiffened realizing that what Azzam called om was Bian.

"Dear." Arini calls Azzam, bringing Azzam's head to face him and hiding the child's head from Bian's sight. "Rum, to my room." Take Arini for a quick walk, and Arumi follows her. But before that, he looked towards Bian and Rio who did not turn his gaze towards the elder brother.

"Mama, um that...." The word Azzam resurfaces his head to see Bian, and Arini hides the child's head.

"Mama?" Bian muttered softly, seeing Arini and Azzam away.

Degs....

Bian's heart beat ungodly, thinking of the truth about the child being carried by Arini.

"Is....is the child...?" Bian murmured in the heart.

"Yes, now I remember, she was Miss Arini. The one you told me to drop off at the apartment, didn't you?" Rio asked Bian, just remembering Arini.

"Rio, you find out about Arini and the kid she's carrying." Said Bian who instead of answering, instead told Rio to investigate about Arini and the child he was carrying.

"For what, sir?" Rio's asking doesn't understand.

Bian turned his body, staring intently at Rio the secretary. Rio who was stared at like that, just contact it immediately agreed.

"Ba.. good, sir." Said Rio nervously, nodding his head.

"Mama, was that your mama's friend?" Azzam asked him to chew it.

"Why baby? You knew om just now?" Arini asked back.

"Not really, but I met him at school." Azzam answered, opening his mouth to take a bribe from the mother. "Om mama's friend?" Azzam asked again because he had not received an answer to his question.

"Not." Answer Arini briefly.

"Why did you meet that one?" Asked Arumi who had only seen the interaction between mother and child since earlier.

"Oh.. That's because I was ha--" said Azzam restrained, because he did not want to tell about the incident that happened to him earlier. Afraid that her mother will worry.

"Why baby?" Arini asked because Azzam did not continue his words.

"That's mah. I met the same om it was not intentionally, well not intentionally." Answer Azzam quickly.

"Oh...." Arumi nodded, followed by Arini who was relieved of it. Because it means, Bian does not know that Azzam is his son.

"Why if he knows? He won't be able to take my son." Inner Arini, determined.

"Mama." Call Azzam, break Arini's daydream. "Again." Azzam continued to open his mouth so that Arini again bribed him.

"Yes dear." Arini immediately scooped up the food and put it in Azzam's mouth.

"Mama eat too." Azzam took over the spoon from Arini, and he fed his mother.

"Hm... Aunty wasn't bribed, was she?" Tanya Arumi felt like a mosquito repellent for both.

"Can." Azzam answered, Want to feed his Arumi aunty.

Arumi smiled, then opened her mouth wide. "Yes.the food's abis." Azzam said after seeing the food on the bench by his mother had been toilet.

Hearing that, Arumi covered her mouth with a sullen face while condemning her stupidity that had asked to be fed.

"Sorry." Azzam said plainly, then chuckled shut his mouth, looking at his pouting Aunty face. Arini who saw that just smiled shaking her head.

Tok....

Someone knocked on the door from the outside, distracting from the three. Arini told him to come in. The door opened, Hana appeared there.

"Tante Hanaaa." Call Azzam girang, approach Hana.

"Azzam, when are you here?" hana asked in surprise, then smiled at him.

"So." Azzam replied, "Tan--" said Azzam restrained, because Arumi who was greeting Hana. "Huf...!" Azzam exhaled in annoyance, as his words were stifled.

"Hi brother." Sapa Arumi to Hana.

Hana turned to the source of the voice, "Eh... Arumi is also there." Said Hana also smiling at Arumi, and Arumi returned her smile.

When she turned to Arumi, Hana saw her superior and she greeted him immediately.

"Sorry, Mom. Disturb his lunch." Hana said, nodding a little.

"It's okay, we're done with lunch anyway." Arini chimed in on Hana's word. "Oh yeah, what's up Hana?" Arini asked, looking at something Hana was holding.

"This, Ma. I'd like to deliver some files that I need to sign." Said Hana showing the file she was carrying.

Arini nodded, got up from her seat, then took the file in Hana's hand and went to sit in her chair.

"It's over?" Azzam asked, folding both hands on his chest, tired of seeing what the adults around him were doing.

"It." Hana smiled, looking at Azzam. Hearing that, Azzam's face looked crisp.

"Okay, let's go now." Take Azzam to Hana.

The adults in the room, clenching their foreheads, heard Azzam's words.

"Where to go?" Tanya Arumi was still frowning.

"Go get ice cream." Azzam replied, looking at Arumi. "Tante Hana once said that if I see you again, I'll get some ice cream." Azzam recalled what Hana said last time, when they met.

"Oh...." Arumi ber o riah, while Hana nodded, just remembered her words.

"Can you mah?" Azzam turned to his mother, asking for permission.

"Hmm. doesn't seem to be for today dear, aunt Hana a lot of work." Arini gives understanding.

Hearing that, Azzam turned to look at Hana with his pinched eyes. Hana who could not bear with that gaze, now asked permission from Arini.

"Eh. My work is not too much for today, ma'am. It's still a break anyway, so I can still take Azzam to get ice cream, if I let you." Hana said, asking for permission.

Arini thought for a moment, her eyes looking at the child who wished to buy ice cream.

“Alright." Arini replied later, not wanting to make Azzam sad.

"Yeii.. mama ngizinin, come aunty." Said Azzam girang, pulling Hana's hand impatiently.

Hana who was pulled like that, then followed the tiny step. After he greeted his boss to go with Azzam.

"Be careful." Arumi watched the two leave.

"Yes, Aunty." Shouted Azzam, behind the door.
