Same as the Former
CHAPTER 56

"You named her Cheryl?" Ask Kenzo.

Amanda nodded, "I name it Cheryl, which means bright light. I wish Cheryl was my bright light on my dark day."

"What a pretty name." Praise Kenzo.

Amanda nodded, "Cheryl means a lot to me."

"You're not trying to figure out who Cheryl's father is?"

Amanda shook her head. "I didn't have enough money to go back to England and find out who the guy that fucked me was that night. Not to mention having to make a Passport also a visa for Cheryl."

"What would you do if you met Cheryl's father?" Ask Kenzo to know.

Amanda shook her head. "I don't know, it could have been a man who is not responsible, is not only the breng*sek man who likes to book a room in a club? I don't expect much anyway."

Kenzo fell silent, all Amanda said was like a dagger that had slammed into her heart.

"What if it turns out he's looking for you?" Kenzo asked to know Amanda's reaction.

"For what? Cheryl is mine, I don't want her to come and take Cheryl away from me."

Kenzo is speechless, he is confused as to where to start if the man of the night is himself.

"Tell me where are we going tomorrow?" Amanda asked to switch the conversation.

"To a labor supply foundation for caregivers."

Amanda scrunched her forehead. "Hey, that's expensive. I can't afford the rent."

"That's gonna be my business. From today anything about Cheryl will be my business, too." Kenzo.

"What do you mean, Cheryl still has me as a mother."

"Amanda.." Call Kenzo so calmly. "I don't mean to offend you, but I'm just thinking about Cheryl's future, it's not good for Cheryl to keep coming with you to the hospital, Cheryl also has to get to know the other world like in her place of study. I'm just helping out on this, holding a trusted nanny to look after Cheryl for as long as you work." Kenzo said that made Amanda think.

"I don't mean anything else, as a friend I just want to help you." Say Kenzo again to convince Amanda.

Amanda is silent and trying to think clearly, it is true that if Amanda can not always take Cheryl to the hospital continuously, Cheryl must also get an education and play in other environments.

"But what if the abduction happens again?" Ask Amanda.

Kenzo nodded, "I've thought about this mature thing. First, I'm looking for a nanny from a trusted agency. Second, tomorrow I will install a gps tool in Cheryl's shoes that can connect to your phone and my phone. We can both monitor Cheryl's location from anywhere." Kenzo and Amanda were still thinking.

"I don't feel good to you, the cost of hiring a nanny alone must have been expensive, what else gps tool."

"Don't think about it." Kenzo Pinta. "Let me love Cheryl too. We can be good friends for Cheryl's partner."

Amanda looked at Kenzo's eyes, eyes that showed sincerity and no malicious intent in her gaze. "Why do you want to do this to me?" Ask Amanda.

"Do you want to know the answer?" Kenzo and Amanda asked. "My answer is the same as your answer, why would you want to conceive, give birth and care for Cheryl when you don't know who her father is."

"That's an instinct, Ken." Answer Amanda.

"Yes, it is instinct and instinct that God created, we cannot resist it even if we are eager to resist it. Didn't we?"

"Believe me, yeah. From now on we're solid friends and partners for Cheryl." Kenzo said seriously.

Amanda nodded and tried to accept Kenzo's kindness to her.

"Deal?" Kenzo asked as he extended his hand to shake hands.

Amanda retaliates for Kenzo's hand. "Thank you, Ken." Amanda replied even though there was still a bad taste in her heart.

Meanwhile, Amanda was staring at the face of Cheryl who was sleeping fast, Amanda rubbed Cheryl's bangs that covered her forehead, I don't know what Amanda was thinking, which clearly arrived just the feeling of Amanda became unbecoming. There was fear, anger, but somehow Amanda also felt a sense of comfort in her heart.

"What exactly is Kenzo's goal? Why do I feel like I've known him? But where?" Amanda was full of questions.

Amanda really feels familiar with Kenzo, trying to trace who Kenzo really is, but he never found the answer to that answer.

"Would your father accept you if he knew you were in this world?" Amanda asked her daughter who was sleeping well.

Amanda closed her eyes, knowing Cheryl's father was not, how could Amanda hope for more. "What a pity you are. Nak. Your fate is almost the same as Mama's, but at least you're luckier. Have a Mama who will fight to sacrifice anything for you, while Mama used to have no one and wasted in the parlour just like that."

Amanda lays her body next to Cheryl, sleeping while hugging Cheryl's tiny body. Amanda doesn't want to wish anyone more. For him Chery is his responsibility, Kenzo is just another person who happens to come to their aid out of pity. The rest of Amanda kept relying on herself until their lives stabilized on their own.

Unlike Kenzo, Kenzo came home with a sense of relief, at least Cheryl's problem can be resolved, he said, Kenzo had intended to find a nanny for Cheryl so that Cheryl did not always come to the hospital and could go back to school.

Kenzo had thought carefully to play a role in caring for Cheryl because Kenzo believes that Chery is his own flesh and blood.

If tomorrow's DNA test results show Cheryl is his daughter, Kenzo will approach Amanda and make Amanda fall in love with Kenzo, Kenzo will also plan to tell Amanda about the misunderstanding in the UK five years ago.

Kenzo sighed, 99% convinced that Cheryl was his daughter. I can't wait for tomorrow to find out the truth.

"Mirgin...." Kenzo muttered as he looked up at the sky of his room. "I'm sorry, Amanda. I will take full responsibility. I'll make you happy, I'll make up for it all, be the perfect Papa for Cheryl and also the husband for you."

Kenzo will focus on Cheryl and Amanda, after which he will be frank with his family about his mistakes to make Cheryl present in this world. Kenzo is convinced that her parents will accept Amanda with open arms just as they accepted Ayesha to be Kevin's wife.

Kenzo only hopes that if the mother is not shocked to hear Kenzo's confession later, Kenzo also hopes the same thing to Amanda and hopes that Amanda will accept also forgive him for Cheryl.

Kenzo rubbed his face rough, as if he wanted to get through this night quickly and soon tomorrow to meet the two women who now filled his heart. Cheyl and Amanda.
