So Stepmom Son Ceo
Chapter 6 - Saving the Grandchild

A bright afternoon was shining on the city, Erhan was seen coming to the restaurant, for lunch. He met his daughter who was working.

“Dad, welcome!” greet Shazia.

“Yes, my daughter can your father have lunch here?”

“Of course, what makes Dad think I won't allow it?”

Erhan chuckles small “Ya, Dad just kidding, Shazia.”

Shazia directs the father to sit at one of the empty tables. “Dad, sit here, I'll get you some food,” Shazia said.

“Yes, Daughter. And can you eat together, Dad?”

Shazia smiled knot, “Sure, Dad, after all the restaurant was quiet. Come on, we'll eat together.”

After serving the lunch menu on the table, Shazia sat in the chair opposite the father. As Erhan began to eat her, he looked at the silent Shazia

“What's up, Shazia? Why don't you eat?”

Shazia's eyes were shifted to the Father, “Ah, no papa, Dad. I suddenly miss Zihan.” she replied.

Shortly after Shazia talked about it, Zihan had come. He said hello to the two waitresses he met, and ended up at Erhan and Shazia's table.

“Good day, grandpa. I haven't seen you in a long time, Grandpa.” While kissing Erhan and Shazia's arms.

Erhan chuckles, “See Shazia, the person you missed is coming.”

“And this kid is so polite, he knows how to behave,” Erhan praised.

“Zihan you came at this hour? You're not in school?”

“Today I came home early, because the teacher had a meeting,” explains Zihan.

“Oh, aunty thinks you're out of school. Is Zihan hungry?”

“Shazia, Why are you asking like that, he came here at the break, of course he was hungry. Come on, sit down, next to me, we eat together,” Erhan asked.

Zihan was sitting next to the two, enjoying the food on the table. Amidst that silence, Shazia opened the conversation.

“Dad, it's your birthday soon, what do you want to ask for as a gift? Watch, elixir hair oil, new suit, or whatever it is just mention it, Dad.”

“You sure Shazia?” ask the father reassuringly.

“Yes, dad of course, what can I not buy for you?”

“Yeah, simple father request. Dad just wanted..”

Shazia's eyes grew closer and closer to his father, waiting for the answer to come out of Erhan's mouth.

“Cost a grandson,” Erhan replied as she swung her arm like she was holding a baby.

Instantly Shazia coughed, making Aynur who was near them laugh.

“Dad, I'm married yet, and dad has asked for a grandson?” Shazia Protests.

“That's it, I want you to get married soon, your age has already stepped on the head of three. Until when will you continue to be alone and only focus on your restaurant?”

“Dad, the restaurant is very important to me. Why aren't you the only one getting married? So I will have a sister later,” Shazia replied.

“What, Shazia! You told your old father to get married again? No, there will only be Esmeralda (Mother Shazia) in Dad's heart.”

Erhan's reply then made Aynur and Shazia laugh. Zihan was silently watching.

“Yes, Dad. Esmeralda is the prettiest woman, you won't be able to forget her,” Shazia replied again.

“Dad, don't worry. Sooner or later he will get married. I dare guarantee, on your next birthday, Shazia will be a married woman, ” said Aynur.

Erhan glanced at Aynur, confused by Aynur's words being so certain “What makes you so sure of Aynur? She's alone still alone until now.”

“Well, today may not be, but as I said sooner or later she will get married.”

“Aynur, than me, lest you marry first and leave us!” reply Shazia.

The third conversation continued, until the break was over and the food at the table was over, Erhan left. Now it's just Shazia who's putting together the cutlery.

“Yes dear go upstairs. Aunty also still has a job here,” Shazia replied while giving Zihan's bag to her.

Getting permission from Shazia, without lingering Zihan went upstairs.

“Aynur, tumben once, yes, today the restaurant deserted.”

“You don't know, Shazia? His father's office Zihan launched a new product, they distributed the new food and products for free for his first launch. Who go there certainly can without carrying empty hands,” explained Aynur.

“Means they are holding a large-scale event. But how do you know that news?”

“That was reported in the city news, take a look,” While showing the news channel on his phone.

“Yeah, Shazia. It's not just our restaurant. Other restaurants are also empty of customers,”

“What can we do, then today we close early only, Aynur,”

“Really?”

“Ya, and tell others too,” Shazia reply while composing the chair.

“OK, I'll tell the others,”

“Alright, then I'll go upstairs. If you need something, just call,” Shazia said again.

“Yes, Shazia, go. Just leave everything to me!” aveng Aynur who started cleaning the table.

Shazia nodded, and he went upstairs. There he could see Zihan reading a book.

“You're reading what book is Zihan?” shazia asked who was in front of him.

“I was reading a fairy tale book about bees, Aunty,” replied Zihan whose eyes could not be seen the pictures in the book.

“Oh, yes, Then why does your face look so confused?”

“I wonder. Why in this book animals can talk like humans?”

“Oh, because the book is a fiction book, not real, and made according to the imagination of the author. Also the stories in this book include fabel.” stories

“What is Fable, Aunty?”

“Fabel, a story where animals become the main characters and speak like humans,” Shazia explained briefly.

Zihan took a sign of understanding. He then laid his body on the carpet while reading the book.

“You're sleepy Zihan? Go to the top of aunt's bed, don't sleep on the floor like that.”

“Really? Can I sleep in aunt's bed?”

“Yes, why not. Let's go,”

Zihan immediately stood up, he entered Shazia's room and laid down his body on the bed. Shazia who was on the balcony caught up with him, fixing the boy's pillow and blanket.

“Aibi,” call Zihan.

“Yes, what's up, Zihan?”

“I still don't understand about this fairy tale, can you read it to me?” zihan asked while giving the book to Shazia.

“Oh, this story, whereas almost every child knows about this fairy tale. Did your mother never read you this fairy tale, darling?”

Hearing Shazia's question, Zihan smiled blankly, “I have no mother, Auntie. Since birth I was raised father.”

As Shazia froze, her eyes dimmed, as if she could not believe what Zihan was saying.

“Auntie, can you tell me what a mother's affection looks like?”

“I've always wondered how a mother feels love for her child.”

Zihan's words made Shazia's mouth mute, he changed his position to the side of Zihan, gently stroking the boy's hair.

“Zihan, forgive Aunt. Now go to sleep, let aunt read you her fairy tale,”

Zihan nodded, he began to listen to Shazia recite a fairy tale.
