Not Just Love
Chapter 26. Like this family

By the morning of ten, Maya had arrived at Ansel's house. He stepped in with Ansel holding his body. Meanwhile, the two babies are in the arms of Sherly and Fira. The mother and son, were already unwilling to let go of Khaira and Khaysan.

"The room is ready?"

"Here you go, madam."

Directly, Maya is escorted to the room that has been provided. Room with white domination. There are king size beds, sofas, tvs and two baby cots also already exist. On the floor, lay a gray carpet and on top of it there are already two baskets filled with toys.

Overrated, according to Maya. The baby is still small, not able to play. However, what power, he could only protest inwardly. Not wanting to disappoint, Ansel's family were already very kind to him.

"You don't have to go out. The waiter will bring the food. If you need something, you just push the button, on the nightstand. You have to rest a lot, later if it's okay, Mama will take you for a walk."

"Thank you, Ma. Sorry, it's been a hassle for you."

"It's okay, May," said Fira. That girl, act like a brother. It looks different when you are on campus.

"Khaira and Khaysan, are asleep. If they wake up, call Mama."

Maya is confused as to what to do. She simply watched her two sleeping babies. This morning, he refused to come here. Moreover, it should stay for a long time. However, who will let him go, with the two babies and has not fully recovered.

Sherly pleads, plus Fira who is pumping her mother and sister. Finally, inevitably, he complied.

"Darling, they're so good to us. After this, mom will work hard and get back at it. Help mom, with you guys stay healthy."

In a quiet atmosphere, Saphira came with pieces of fruit on a plate.

"Eat. Mama who peels and cuts her own."

"thank you. I'm sorry, it's been a real hassle for you."

"It's okay. Let's just say, this is what I owe you."

Maya sits opposite Saphira on the sofa. Take a piece of apple, to chew.

"When are you graduating?"

"Next month. Don't you want to continue your education?"

"Not yet, Fir. I still have to work and take care of my baby."

"Can I ask you a question?" Fira hesitated, saying that. But, his lips were already itching to ask. "Are you leaving because of Sandra?"

Maya's hands hang over the plate. He pulled it back.

"I don't know, they're getting married. I'm leaving, 'cause I should be."

"You mean?"

"I and Zamar had a misunderstanding, so I decided to leave. I don't know, what's the reason, he married Sandra. Maybe they've been together for a long time or maybe they're pushed by the wedding, because the invitations have been spread."

"I guess, because they've been together a long time. Mama said she received the invitation a week before the wedding. However, at that time I remember Sandra showing off your wedding, saying your invitation had been spread. That time, if I'm not wrong, two weeks before the wedding."

Maya's lips, a joke to say. Actually, he doesn't want to talk about Zamar anymore. He just wants to live life, without the shadow of Zamar.

"Maybe, it's just."

Meaning of the word, he no longer cared. He is also not interested in repairing or finding out. To him, it's all done.

"You're not curious, May?"

"I just want to live my life in peace. Whether or not, about both of them. I don't care anymore. For me, our relationship was over, when I was gone. Sandra or Zamar, they're just strangers to me."

Saphira moved, by Maya's side. He dropped Maya's head on his shoulder. Like, a mother who calms her daughter down.

"I'm sorry, because all this time I kept teasing you. Actually, I just wanted to make friends by getting your attention. Maybe, that sounds weird. But, that's the truth."

"Hahaha, you're a freak."

From the enemy, now become friends, even like brothers. They were home, eating together, laughing and chatting. Destiny is sometimes strange, uniting two humans, which initially is impossible to be possible.

"Well, as you can see. I'll raise them. They don't need dad."

"You're right, they don't need a father. Here, there's a aunt and grandmother who love them."

"I actually, feel bad about your family. Moreover, Mama who considered them her grandchildren. I can't possibly, keep bothering you."

"I understand. If it's time, Mama will let you go. But, maybe just around here. Haha... "

Maya laughed. At that moment, Khaira woke up with a deafening cry.

Fira swiftly got up first, telling Maya not to need to, get up.

The little baby, now silent. Licking with voraciously. One of her hands, holding her index finger. Fira, who had noticed, smiled as she stroked Khaira's head.

"Did you ever tell Zamar's mom about your pregnancy?"

"No. I haven't had time to tell him. When I left, I had no intention of telling him."

"Why? If he finds out, you might get married."

"Well! Wh-wh-what for? I married Zamar, not her mother. Even if, he helps, but what's the point, if his trust in me is as thin as a tissue."

"Trust?"

"really. Beliefs. Relationships not only need love, but trust. For the relationship to continue."

"You're right. I learned a lot from you. Maybe, I need to sort carefully, about men."

"What are you looking for?"

"I'm looking like a man like my Papa and my brother. They're both my role models."

"You're right. Find a partner who values and loves you. Like, your father and brother are very nice."

Khaira had fallen asleep, but had not yet let go of her grasp, on her index finger. He smiled, not knowing what he was dreaming.

"Tonight, I will accompany you. You must be in trouble, if they wake up and cry at the same time."

"thank you. But, I hope your sleep isn't disturbed."

"Of course, no. I can learn to be a mother, from now on."

The door opened, suddenly. Resti entered with both hands full of paper bag. He put it on the table, breathing out, exhausted.

"Why, Ma?"

"Mama's tired. In fact, just take the stairs. Tomorrow, Mama wants to ask papa, make an elevator."

"Lift, fuck. Our house is two floors."

"Huh, I've." Resti sat joined on the sofa, leaning back by adjusting the breath. "The clothes that were the message to Maya, have come. So, Mama wants Maya to try it, for a second."

Fira unpacked the contents of the paper bag, removing the contents one by one. Dress loose, knee-length, sleeveless, with three different colors. Sleeping clothes with funny motifs.

"Ma, I still have a lot of clothes."

"You're going up, May. So, Mama bought a loose one, just to be comfortable."

"Yes, May. You have to dress comfortably, because you have to breastfeed" added Fira.

Maybe, like this, have a family. A loving mother, a caring brother and two men in a responsible home. Maya who since childhood, has no one, her life is a little meaningful. He used to have Zamar and his mother. The same attention, they give.
