SURREPTITIOUS
The Part 32

After the cooking was finished, Zahra and Greeta brought all the food to Amadhea's room. They also eat together. Alinda feeds Amadhea. He also helped Amadhea take medicine.

There was a knock on the main door.

"Maybe it's Aunt Irma. I opened the door, yes," Zahra said.

Right, Irma came while carrying rice, side dishes, and other food. He doesn't know that Zahra and Greeta are cooking.

"Yes, the food from Aunty just for lunch, yes," said Irma.

"Yes, Auntie, thank you."

"How's Dhea doing?"

"He's gone."

After delivering the food, Irma went straight home. Greeta and Alinda clean the house. It was Zahra's turn to accompany Amadhea.

"Yesterday Zayn asked for your number, but I didn't love you" said Zahra.

"Zayn?" Amadhea looked confused.

"It wasn't Zayn, rather Xaga asked for your number through Zayn then Zayn asked for it from me" Zahra corrected.

He continued, "I can't give your number to someone else if I haven't asked you for permission."

Amadhea smiled. "It's okay, just give it away."

"Well, if you will." Zahra brought her phone. He sent Amadhea's number to Zayn.

"You close to Zayn?" ask Amadhea.

Zahra blushed. "No, we're not that close. My dad and Zayn's dad are good friends."

"Ooh." Amadhea nodded in understanding.

Amadhea's phone rang. The girl took it and checked the incoming notification, it turned out that there was a chat from an unknown number. When read, it turns out Xaga is sending a chat message.

"Xaga nge-chat," Amadhea said as she showed the man a chat.

"Well, he's very enthusiastic apparently. After getting your number, he immediately sent a chat message, ", Zahra said.

"Maybe there's something important." Amadhea saved Xaga's number to her contacts and then she replied to the chat.

"Dhea, why is your forehead?" zahra asked with a look on Amadhea's forehead.

"This?" Amadhea touched her left forehead. "I don't know. Maybe because it fell yesterday, it went like this."

Amadhea took the mirror on the table and glazed over. The lump is oval in shape and is as big as an adult's thumb.

"What hurts?" ask Zahra.

Amadhea. "I didn't feel anything while holding it."

Greeta cleans the floor with a vacuum cleaner. As she cleaned the front floor of the door next to the end of the stairs, the girl seemed confused to see a pile of broken red crayons in front of the door.

"Why does Dhea keep crayons here?" Greeta collected the crayon and put it on the table next to the door. He continued to clean the floor.

Suddenly there was the sound of a small object falling. Greeta saw a red crayon roll down from under the door.

Greeta took it and put it with the other crayons she had kept at the table.

Faintly Greeta heard a knock at the door. However, the girl ignored him. He continued his activity and pressed the super button to make the vacuum cleaner sound louder.

While in another room, Alinda was seen mopping the floor. He wet his mop with an automatic player. When he turned and went back to mopping, he was surprised to see the footprints of a small child on the floor he had mopped. The footprints led to one of the rooms.

Alinda doesn't care much. He continued mopping without mopping the footprints on the floor.

After finishing cleaning the house, Alinda and Greeta can relax. Zahra himself was busy heating the food that Irma had given him. They had lunch early, because they were hungry, and so was Amadhea.

It's getting dark.

Greeta is busy alone video call with Elan. While Zahra and Amadhea are single choose mabar online games. Alinda was focused on her phone.

"Alin, let's mabar ludo together, yuk!" bring Zahra.

"You two alone" said Alinda without taking her eyes off the phone screen. It turned out that he was replying to a chat message from Arnold.

The clock shows at 10 p.m. Amadhea, Alinda, Zahra, and Greeta were already sleeping soundly.

Slowly Amadhea opened her eyes. He didn't really sleep. The girl saw the figure of a little boy crouching between Zahra and Greeta. The little boy seemed to be staring at Zahra and Greeta.

Amadhea.

The little boy ran out of the room laughing. Amadhea breathed a heavy sigh. He got out of bed and then came out of his room.

The laughter of the little boy was still heard. Amadhea searched for the source of the voice. He went down the stairs. It turned out that the laughter of the little boy came from a hidden room near the stairs.

Amadhea pushed the door. The distinctive sound of old hinges crimped when the door was opened.

The little boy's figure was in the room. He turned his back to the door. Amadhea swallows saliva.

"You who? Why are you bothering me?" amadhea asked with a trembling voice.

There's no answer.

"I really don't understand why you bother me. But please stop bothering me. I'm tired" said Amadhea again.

The little boy squatted down then cried loudly. Amadhea touched her goosebumps. He ventured closer and touched the child's shoulder.

Amadhea looked around. He was surprised to find himself in a foreign room. The little boy disappeared.

"I'm where? This room...."

Amadhea recalled, the room was a hidden room near the stairs. However, the room still functions as a room, as in the previous dream.

"Am I in another dimension again?" Amadhea came out of the room. He smelled the tempting aroma of sauteing spices. The girl ran into the kitchen.

The smell of cooking filled the kitchen. The smell she had longed for. Amadhea saw a woman cooking behind her.

Amadhea's tears ran through her eyes. The woman turned around while serving food to the table. Yeah, that's Ayuni, her mother.

Amadhea shed her tears as she muttered softly, "Mama."

Ayuni looked younger. She's very pretty. A man entered the kitchen carrying a newspaper.

"Papa," muttered Amadhea. He saw his father who was also young and handsome. There was not a single gray hair in her shiny black hair.

"The coffee, Mas." Ayuni offered a cup of coffee. Soft steam danced over the coffee.

"Thank you, dear." Sudarman blew on the coffee and sipped it.

"Father, Mama," call Amadhea.

Sudarman and Ayuni's gaze was fixed on the door. Amadhea smiled with tears that kept pouring down her cheeks.

Ayuni smiled beautifully. "My son, are you awake, son? Come here, we have breakfast together."

Amadhea smiled. He put his foot up. However, he heard a running sound from behind him. A boy ran past Amadhea.

Amadhea's gaze was fixed on the boy's back who was now hugging his mother.

Ayuni also returned the hug of the child and gently rubbed her hair.

"My son."
