Not the Surrogate Mother
Problems in the morning

"It's not really your business at all." Kailani answered Kailandra's question with a ketus. Then the woman walked slowly closer to Keiko and asked her daughter to make a choice immediately.

"This is all," Keiko cheered as she raised a small pot containing a flowering chives plant.

"We're in! Wash your hands, keep using the cereal. It'll be cold. Let Mommy clean the pot." Kailani embraces Keiko's shoulder with her left hand.

"Bund, why wasn't he told to come in?" Keiko turned her head and threw a sincere smile at Kailandra who continued to pay attention to her without blinking.

"Not my dear guest. Only the person who asks for the address." Kailani replied with origin.

There was nothing else Kailandra could do after the door of Kailani's house was closed - other than leaving. Self-conscious, he did not deserve to demand hospitality from Kailani. After the accusations and harsh treatment that has often been done, it is appropriate for Kailani to behave as he is now.

Kailandra continues to walk down residential roads which of course are rarely bypassed offline taxis. I don't know what the man was thinking. One thing was certain, he just wanted to feel extremely physically tired. Until later when his footsteps stop, tired can bring his eyes closed faster to dreamland. A moment to forget the reality that makes Kailandra feel good destiny never sided with him.

The next day, when the morning sunshine was still greeting shyly through the gap of the curtain that was slightly exposed, Kailandra looked well dressed and prepared to start his activities early. Karina's departure from her home, as if it had not had any impact on the man.

"That's early morning, Kai? Any word from your grandchildren?" tanya Kasih when passing by Kailandra who is stepping foot into the car garage.

"There's important business, Ma." Kailandra answered without inserting meaningful information on his mother who had just finished following the dawn study at the mosque of the Kailandra housing complex.

Love shook his head, a sign of astonishment. Since Kailandra's return yesterday afternoon, his son has clearly kept so much of the burden on his mind. In fact, Kailandra does not go out of the room for dinner.

Meanwhile, at the same time, precisely in one of the rooms of an apartment, a female figure with disheveled hair and puffy eyes, looks leaning on the legs of the sofa with a huddled-hugging position of both knees on a thick carpet. Already overnight, a figure that is none other than Karina was staying in that position.

"Already, Kar. Time keeps going. Time doesn't wait for you until you realize it's all the best. Continue your life. Parting with Kailandra is not the end. This is really the beginning. You've wasted enough of your time." Kalvin stroked Karina's matted hair gently. The man was not bored and not tired of trying to revive the spirit of his step sister's life.

Karina was unmoved, her gaze so sweet and empty. "I don't want to be treated like this, Vin. I don't want to. Six years I've been trying. Do I have to let go without any effort? Why is Kai so selfish? My lies - I did it because I loved her so much. Does anyone love Kai as much as I do?"

Kalvin nodded his head while smiling faintly. Although what Karina said was not entirely true, the man had no intention of refuting. Karina, who is devastated and in a state of turmoil, sometimes just needs someone to hear her testimony.

"I need to talk to Kailani." Karina stood up.

"What else do you do, Kar?" Kalvin tries to prevent Karina's intentions by blocking the woman's arm.

"We'll see." Without combing her hair, without washing her face, and of course without changing her clothes first, Karina immediately grabbed the keys of the car lying on the table.

At the same time, but in different places, Kailani was busy stuffing Keiko's provisions into the bag of her first daughter. In addition to the bag, there is also a cooler bag containing four glass bottles filled with ASI that is ready to be delivered to the hospital for baby twins.

"Quick finish the bread, Kei. Mr. Kadir will be here soon." Not until Kailani's mouth clenched, the sound of a car engine stopping in the front yard was heard. Keiko also with enthusiasm immediately tote her school bag on the shoulder.

"Yeah!" Kailani carries Keiko's stock bag as well as her ASI cooler bag.

"It's not Mr. Kadir" said Keiko, who had memorized it with a pickup car and a driver who was specially hired by Kenzo for Keiko.

Kailani squinted her eyes to be able to see clearly who had come this early to her house. The car is a top-class premium car. Not a home-built-up ground-assembled car directly from its home country.

"Om yesterday, Bund." Keiko's shrill voice along with the vibration of the mobile phone in Kailani's negligent pocket disperse the concentration of women who still guessed who the guest was.

"Morning, Keiko," Kailandra said to Keiko as if without burden.

The girl with a big face did not immediately reply. As if asking for approval from Kailani, Keiko's eyes rounded looking at the Mother who was receiving a phone call from someone.

"Kei, Mommy can order a taxi online only, yes. Mother anter. Mr. Kadir's permission for his son to be sick." Kailani says it softly while opening an online transportation app on her smartphone.

"Just like, Yuk. Om knew Keiko's mother, kok," sambar Kailandra.

"Keiko can be in a minute?"

Without answering Kailani's question, Keiko went back inside the house with her lips growing forward. Inwardly, the adorable girl was cursing silently. Regretting the decision of the mother who did not accept the offer from the om who according to Keiko look equivalent to the K-Pop artist idol.

After making sure Keiko was really inside, Kailani immediately put the two bags she was carrying on the table. Then the woman said, "What do you want, Bang? Didn't I tell you our business is done?"

"Our business will never be finished, Kai. There are children among us. Don't erase that fate," pressed Kailandra while looking at Kailani who was so cynical returning her gaze.

Kailani took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled a little heavily. As vigorously as he might teach the heart to never falter, but the world never tires of persuading it with fragility.

Not even one problem in front of his eyes was finished, apparently one problem had come to Kailani.

"O Allah, what else is this," Kailani's inner self once saw Karina get off the car very emotionally.
