So Stepmom Son Ceo
Chapter 13 - Orphanage

“Sorry, Shazia. I was just able to get you here, there was a little problem in the kitchen.”

“No papa, Hazan. We also did not wait long here.”

“Yes, that's right papa Hazan, “ timpal Ceyda.

Hazan smiled a little. “Then congratulations to you.”

Hazan, one of Shazia's best friends since school, is a kind woman who is now the head of a home.

“It seems that I saw a new person here, who is he Shazia?” ask Hazan.

“He's the uncle of the boy I told you about back then.” Reply Shazia.

“Oh, son of your distant relatives right? Then greetings and welcome to you too,” said Hazan.

“thank you, Miss Hazan.” Aslan's reply.

“Alright, no need to linger, let's just start the show.”

The three women nodded, their steps in tandem, where Aslan caught up to the very end. In the orphanage, the event began with prayers and dances offered by the children of the home, then continued to divide the parcels one by one.

Zihan and Ece were enjoying the show, both of them were also playing with the children of their age, enjoying the dance and running around here and there, there was no sadness and only laughter on their faces.

“Zihan, Ece, come here!” shazia Shouts.

“And you too, come here!” shazia shouted again at the child who also played with Ece and Zihan.

After Zihan, Ece and the boys stop the game and go to Shazia.

“What's Bu?” ask one of the kids.

“You come eat, just continue your game again.”

“Our mother is not hungry, we also still want to play,”

“Yeah, it's a pity, even though mom has prepared an exciting story for you,” Shazia replied while pretending to put on a moody face.

“Mother wants to tell you again?”

“Sure, but since you said you weren't hungry then—“

“Yes, Mom, we'll eat, but I promise you'll tell us a fairy tale?”

Shazia patting, “Iya, let's hurry. Now grab your food and sit here,” while pointing under the tree.

Shazia and the children sat in a circle under a shady tree. While bribing their food, Shazia tells an interesting fairy tale. Zihan and Ece also listen to the story of Shazia. But unlike Zihan, since he stopped playing he looked moody, the food he took was completely untouched.

“Zihan, why don't you eat your food?” asked Ece who was confused by Zihan's behavior.

“I'll eat it later,” reply Zihan not excited.

“Zihan, if you want to play then finish your food first. We will play again after,” replied Ece.

Zihan nodded, when the other children had finished eating and placed their plates into the washing, Zihan just remained silent, he did not move from his seat. One of the children approached him.

“Zihan, why are you quiet? Come on, let's continue playing,” take the boy.

“Before that, can I ask you something?”

“Yes, what do you want to ask me ? Are you in toilet?”

“Not, that I want to ask why you called Aunt Shazia by the name of mother?”

“Oh, the. Because Shazia's mother was a good person, just like Hazan's mother. Shazia's mother has come here a lot and told me stories, which is why we are familiar and call her Mother,” explained the boy again.

“Now let's play, if you just stay here, it will be boring,” he said as he pulled up Zihan's arm.

Not feeling the time passed so quickly, the event was finished with cleaning together as a cover.

“Thank you, Shazia, Aynur, Aunt Ceyda, you guys would like to spend some time here.”

“Not to thank, it was me who troubled you by coming without an appointment,” Shazia replied while hugging Hazan.

“Then we leave, Hazan, thank you for your welcome,” said Ceyda who alternately hugged the woman.

The six men headed for the parking lot, Shazia put on a helmet and put his bag down. He started riding on the bike with Ece and Ceyda sitting behind him.

“Zihan, Aunty goes, yes. tomorrow we meet again at the restaurant.”

“Ya, aunty," replied Zihan uninspired.

“Aynur we go, yes!” shazia Shouts.

“Ya, be careful bringing aunt Ceyda,” reply Aynur.

When the motorbike used by Shazia was no longer visible, Aynur began to step away to the nearest bus stop. But his steps stopped when Aslan called.

“Aynur, where are you going? Come with us, I'll take you home.”

Aynur turned around, “No need, it will trouble you, I will go home by bus only.”

Aslan brought Zihan to Aynur, “You will come with me, so it is my responsibility to take you back home.”

“I told you not to, you'll have to drive Zihan home, I don't want to trouble others.”

“Do I look like I mind? I'm the one who asked you, not you who asked, Aynur.”

“Aibi just accept uncle's offer. He's a good man, won't do anything to auntie,” said Zihan.

“It's not like that Zihan, aunty just doesn't want to trouble your Uncle.”

“Uncle has already said he doesn't mind at all, so what is aunt afraid of?”

Aynur let out a long sigh, confused as to what to answer to the clever little boy. “Yes, aunty will come with you and your uncle.”

Zihan smiled slightly, as before he told Aynur to sit in front with his uncle. The car left the place and drove at a moderate speed.

“Sorry my nephew is sometimes a little naughty,” said Aslan opened the conversation.

“No papa,” reply Aynur short.

“Where is your home address?”

“You just walk, I'll tell you where to stop later.”

Aslan nodded, occasionally glancing at the niece sitting in the back seat.

The day was approaching dusk, it appeared that the car driven by Aslan stopped in front of Aynur's rental house. Aynur got out of the car, followed by Aslan.

The man looked around him, the dense and slightly shabby residential area made his brows furrowed, plus his arrival made the Aynur neighbors around the house whisper to each other.

“I told you to stop in front of the road, right, why are you so stubborn? Look at my neighbors who see you, they will definitely talk nothing about us,” Aynur said in a whisper.

The moment Zihan opened the windshield, Aynur immediately changed her expression. “Thank you, Aslan, you've given me a ride. And thank you, Zihan, you've brought aunt home.”

“Ya, Aunty, alike,” reply Zihan from in car.

“Well then me and Zihan leave now,” Aslan said.

Aynur nodded, “One more time thanks to you,” Aynur said again.

Aslan nodded with a smile, he got back into the car and left Aynur's yard, to bring his nephew back home.
