Balancing


The look on Sarah's face immediately turned radiant, already imagining that after Galen gets married, they will soon get a grandson who is cute, petite and adorable.


"It's just a dream, Mom.."


Sarah took a long breath. "Can you not ruin your mother's happiness?"


"Regarding Mina's problem, I'll try to talk to her later. He has to apologize to mom about this matter" Galen said firmly.


"Talk fine, don't be rude. There seems to be something that is troubling Mina's mind until she becomes more sensitive, because usually she's not like that."


"Yes, Mom.."


The rest of the trip was spent talking about Aurora. Actually only Sarah did it, while Galen was only a loyal listener.


Once home, Galen asks Sarah to go to rest, but Sarah refuses.


"I can arrange everything neatly, ma'am.."


"It wouldn't be the same if I did it" Sarah insisted.


"But mom's leg still hurts."


"Mom's fine."


"Then let me help."


Sarah finally agreed.


"Tumben once a mother bought a lot of sweet snacks?" galen asked in astonishment as he opened up one of their grocery bags.


Sarah looked at the snack Galen meant, found some biscuits and snacks there.


"It doesn't belong to mom."


"Then who? The mina? Mina doesn't like sweet food."


"Ah, I know!" Sarah immediately remembered something. "It must have belonged to that girl, Aurora. You can go back to give it back, right? I really feel bad."


"Dispose of it!"


"Dispose how?!! Don't be the one who doesn't know thank you. Aurora has helped mom a lot. Anyway, mom doesn't want to know! Give all the snacks to the owner. Tell Aurora too if our family wants to invite her here and have dinner together.

Mina's Apartment..


"Your mother complained?I hate it when she starts talking about children!"


"Why are your words as if you no longer hold any respect for my mother?" galen did not accept.


"How can I do that? As he continues to discuss the issue of children and children! I'm really sick of hearing it!"


"My mom doesn't even know anything!"


"That's why keep her quiet!"


"Mina, stop!!"


Mina flinched, only this time did Galen dare to snap at her and she did not expect.


"You dare yell at me?!" mina couldn't believe it.


Galen let out a long sigh, trying to calm down before finally looking fixedly at Mina there.


"Whatever if you insult me with the slightest words, I won't get angry. But it's different if it's about my mom, until whenever I can't take it."


After saying this, Galen hurried to leave Mina's apartment. His mind was in a state of chaos in the face of the change in attitude of his fiancee.


"Room!"


Galen, who was about to enter the elevator, stopped her steps when Mina's hand suddenly hugged her stomach from behind.


The girl was crying there.


"I'm sorry. I know I'm wrong.My mind's been messed up lately. Always felt our marriage would fail because of the girl" Mina said as she pleased.


Galen turns around, finding Mina still crying. She moved to give a hug to her fiance after wiping away the tears that fell on the girl's cheeks.


"How can you have such thoughts?" galen asked in a soft tone.


"I'm scared. The girl will come and hold me accountable!"


Galen let go of their embrace in order to listen to Mina's complaint further.


"You did it, right? Asking him to drop it?"


Galen nodded slowly.


"When will he do it?" asked Mina expectantly.


"I haven't spoken to him yet" Galen replied.


"Do immediately! Because our marriage is in sight."


***


Galen never put up with Sarah's ravings when the woman's request was not granted.


It's almost half-nine in the evening, but Sarah forces Galen to go to Aurora's house to pay the debt.


She had just returned home from Mina's apartment and told Sarah that Mina had regretted her actions earlier this afternoon, also apologized but had not been able to come to visit.


Sarah, who did not want to prolong the matter, said she forgave Mina before she even asked for it.


But still a visit to the house Aurora Galen must do at this time as well. Galen already said they could pay him tomorrow. But Sarah's whining made Galen finally give up.


Galen pressed the doorbell of Aurora's house, waiting patiently, before long the door opened.


"Why did you come here?" ask Aurora wonder.


Galen did not answer, instead thrusting a carton bag at the girl.


"What's this?"


"Your." reply Galen briefly.


Aurora immediately saw the contents.


"It must have been accidentally left behind." murmured Aurora.


"You're right."


"You're done, right? Then get out of here."


"There's still one more thing" Galen said before Aurora closed the door.


"What else?"


"My mom says she owes you something."


"Forget it!"


"Where could that be?" asked Galen who then reflexively watched Aurora from top to bottom. Makes the girl feel uncomfortable.


"What do you see?" asked Aurora fiercely.


Galen cleared his throat slowly. "It's nothing. It's just that you've looked better after it wasn't looking well."


"Why? It's none of your business at all. Or are you starting to care about my baby?" accuse Aurora of denying Galen immediately.


"You're right. It's none of my business." Galen replied indifferently.


"It's good that you're self-conscious. Because this baby is already completely my right!"


"I know."


"Now it's done, isn't it? Please get out of here."


"Wait a minute! There's one thing I should ask you."


"What?"


"Have you had dinner?" galen asked that made Aurora feel like this man was completely unclear at all.


"Well..your question just now is completely out of the ordinary, huh?!don't you care so much about me!"


"I'm just asking because my mom invited you to dinner. When do you have time?"


"Tell him thank you for the invitation, but I don't have time to fulfill it. I'll be going overseas next week."


"Ah, so it seems.." murmured Galen.


Galen accidentally saw the Aurora phone screen that showed a picture of a food that is being talked about at this time.


"Are you craving something to eat?" galen asked suddenly.


"Huh?" Aurora then realizes that she has been caught.


"Let's go and buy it." Galen asked.


"no need. I can go buy it myself tomorrow."


"What is the name of cravings where can be delayed anyway?"


"Sokay know!"


"I learned many things about the tips of a harmonious married life, as well as preparing myself to be a good father to my future son with Mina later. So a little bit I know, not as pretentious as you're accusing."


There was a heartache running through Aurora's heart as soon as she heard Galen's words just now. Although not recognized, Galen is the biological father of a baby who is in the middle of Aurora womb and that's a fact! But Galen said it as if this baby was nothing to him. So annoying!


"Just go home. I'm not interested in accepting your good-natured attitude." Aurora said.


"Don't misunderstand me. I'm doing this one last time, as a thank you for helping my mom."
