Not the Surrogate Mother
Between Kailani and Kasih

After making sure Kenzo and Keiko entered his house, Kailani walked slowly toward the figure who was now looking at him with a smile that was difficult to interpret.

"Actually as important as what problem do you want to discuss? To the extent that I'd come here?" ask Kailani flatly.

"You didn't tell me to come in first?" ask a woman who is none other than Love.

Kailani threw a faint smile before answering her former-in-law's question. Not that it's disrespectful. Given the volume of Love's voice that is sometimes so loud, not to mention he also cannot guarantee what is discussed later. Kailani just doesn't want Kenzo especially Keiko to hear their discussion.

"We'll just talk there, ma'am." Kailani pointed to a rattan wicker bench on her veranda.

Love does not answer. The woman immediately stepped her feet towards the place designated by Kailani. For Love, wherever they speak is not really important. The most important thing at this time was, he wanted the wishful thinking of his mind to be immediately spoken and revealed.

"Just go ahead, yeah, Kai. Look, I don't think you need a word of thanks or an apology. From the way you helped our family, obviously you don't want us to know what you've done. Let's end the debate about the past. Our attitude during this time, of course the result of your own choice. You chose not to explain everything to us."

Kailani smiled faintly at the words of Love that were so long and straightforward. The woman who was sitting in front of him was really like there was no burden whatsoever when she said it. Completely without further ado as he said in the beginning.

"And now, who would have thought we were reunited with an extraordinary destiny.You and Kailandra even have two children at once. Even in an unusual and wrong way. That's what we're going to focus on right now." Kasih looked back at Kailani. There is no hatred like before. There was also no warmth there.

Love took a deep breath, and so did Kailani. Whatever a Love, in the depths of her heart, she is also a mother and a woman. What he was doing right now, was only part of his reaction to the circumstances. Little or too selfish for others, he doesn't care.

"Your children, however, I do not want his status to be unclear. A child can be written without a father on his birth certificate, but not without a mother. We or anyone else cannot erase history. You are still a mother to them. By law, the boy will remain written as your son and Kailandra. But---,"

Love does not continue its words. For a moment the more middle-aged woman seemed to think. While in the hospital, he had already thought about all the cooking. Love that had been passionate to say straightforwardly and clearly, now his lips feel heavy to say it. Again, no matter how arrogant he was, being alone with Kailani turned out to be a little shake his determination.

Love takes a deep breath back. His eyes began to misty clear dew. However, due to his prestige he tried his best to maintain his firmness. The haughty attitude shown so far is just a mask to cover the thousands of regrets that are struggling. On the other hand, Kasih also does not want Kailandra back injured.

"The bottom line is, I don't mind you being close to the kids. But I ask, never give hope to Kailandra. Give me your cell phone number. Everything about the children, I will tell you directly. Including when you come, I set." The voice of Love rang out, the woman stood up and turned her back to hide the tears that had fallen unapologetically.

Kailani slowly stood up, then as calmly as she could say, "There is no need to worry about how I behave towards Bang Kai. I have decided to part ways with Bang Kai when my love is still intact for him. Now then? I'm used to living without Bang Kai. Without even a single reminder, I know exactly how I should behave."

The turn of love that is now silent. Already he had guessed before, Kailani's love feelings for Kailandra must have faded. Eroded slowly by time, coupled with the mockery, reproach, and insults thrown from his mouth also Kailandra during this time. Of course Kailani will not forget their treatment just like that. It seems that Kasih's decision to maintain his attitude towards Kailani is correct, at least Kailandra does not think that re-establishing a relationship with Kailani is not difficult.

"Thank God you understand. Going forward is easier for us. I don't have to bother to remind you of your position. I'm a mother, Kai. I want to see Kailandra living a normal family life. I used to let him choose his own soul mate, it always fails. Let me now interfere. There was once a strong feeling of love. But now, of course, things are not the same. Glass that has been broken, will not be the same again if put together. There will be missing pieces. Even the reflected shadow will fall apart."

A series of long sentences closed the conversation Kailani and Kasih. The two exchanged mobile numbers. Although not warm, at least this time meeting is not as painful as previous meetings. Yes, because Kasih does not want to show his shame and regret to everyone, especially in front of Kailandra.

Since that day, Love has kept its promise. Women routinely report the condition of baby twins. Kailani also routinely sends ASI. From messages sent mostly by Kasih and photos, Kailani also knows the figure of Kinanti described Kasih as the prospective wife of Kailandra.

And the next day, coinciding with the event of aqikah and the naming of baby twins which by Kailandra officially named Kanaya and Kanaka--Kailani allowed to come to the house of Kasih. Because, Kailandra is calculated to go directly out of town after the event is over. Of course the opportunity was not wasted by Kailani. Coincidentally, Keiko will also be invited all over to the city library.

Kailani entered the courtyard of Kasih's house with slow steps. Years of not setting foot there, in fact the flash of the past still clings strongly in Kailani's mind. Especially when he passed the front stairs are used as a shortcut to the rooftop.

"On the stairs, I first kissed you, Kai." Someone's voice made Kailani's daydreams scatter.
