“Miss Mercy can you take Bryan to his room?” Ivan immediately beckoned Khaira to escort Bryan and his nurse to the guest room.
Khaira nodded while smiling at Ivan. He politely invites Mercy and Bryan along with him.
Ivan wanted to convey some of the things he had discussed with his brother-in-law. He wants to put limits on Claudia about their relationship as well as the steps she will take to treat Bryan.
After the three of them stayed inside the living room, Ivan began to say his wish.
“I've decided to bring Bryan with us.”
Claudia surprised. This is not what he wanted. What's more after seeing the residence of Ivan and Khaira, there's no way he took Bryan off just like that. Even though Ivan has rewarded luxury apartments and monthly fees are quite fantastic, his greed arises. He wants to have everything.
“I won't just take Bryan off. I am his mother who has taken pains to give birth to him ..” he began to play the drama with a grim and sad face.
“I know,” cut Ivan fast, “As long as you are, what's with Bryan's current condition. I doubt you could give Bryan.” a cure
“Can't we do it together?” Claudia looked at Ivan expectantly.
George looked at the two while leaning back on the sofa. He knows, Claudia's hidden desire. He can't do anything. Both of them are Bryan's parents.
“My wife and I will take care of Bryan. We will find the best doctor.”
“You didn't think about my feelings .... “ Claudia stared fixedly at Ivan. He wanted Ivan to see her as a woman who had filled his days in the past.
“I'll give you a third of my fortune. That's enough to finance your life, even if you don't work. I appreciate you as Bryan's real mother.
”How can you think like that?” Claudia does not accept Ivan's decision, “Women who are with you are not able to give you a child, how could you prefer it over me?”
“Claudia, please!” Ivan was not happy to hear the words of Claudia, “Rara my wife. We're just the past. I'm so grateful that there's Bryan among us.”
Khaira who had returned with them was not comfortable hearing Claudia's words that offended her.
“Sayang .... “ Ivan was surprised to realize the presence of Khaira behind him. He asked Khaira to sit by his side again.
George nodded at Khaira casually. He did not take a second look trying to see the change in the face of the beautiful woman who was dressed covered.
Claudia looked at Khaira with annoyance. He knew he had nothing to do with his wife Ivan. But since there's Bryan among them make it up in the wind. He believed Ivan had given Khaira all the luxury facilities. And he doesn't want to miss everything. He deserves anything from Ivan.
“With your busyness now, I'm sure you can't take care of Bryan to the fullest,” Ivan looked at Claudia intently.
“I will stop working,” firmly Claudia.”
“Hey, you can't break the employment contract within one year,” George cut their talk, “Come Claudia, let Alex and his wife take care of Bryan. Bryan has been more comfortable with Mercy than with you.”
“George .... “ Claudia glares at the words of George who does not support her.
Ivan smiled sinisterly at Claudia, “Already Claudia, accept what I have decided. I'm not gonna separate you from Bryan. Every Saturday and Sunday, I give you the freedom to visit Bryan and take him to stay with you. Other day he will be with us.”
“How can you decide that by yourself?” Claudia shook her head in disbelief hearing Ivan's decision.
He knew Ivan was a man who held firm. It will not be easy to change the decision he has made. The regret of betraying Ivan in the past is back.
“If you insist on refusing, I will settle everything with my lawyer,” Ivan starts to launch threats, “During this Bryan in your upbringing. With Bryan's condition now, it's hard for you to keep Bryan. I will sue you for causing Bryan to have a chronic illness .... “
“Mass .... “ Khaira shaking his head slowly.
He rubbed Ivan's shoulders gently. Seeing the silent Claudia with a reddened face made Khaira feel uncomfortable.
Ivan looked at Khaira who was looking at him anxiously. He breathed heavily. Her emotions run high seeing Claudia who is adamant against her wishes.
“Alright, I respect your decision Alex.” Claudia felt her resistance was in vain.
The momentary silent atmosphere. Khaira was still stroking Ivan's shoulders trying to quell the anger Claudia had raised.
“I will stop from all my activities to take care of Bryan,” Khaira said gently as she looked at Ivan's face fixedly.
He has decided himself. He knew, at a time like this Ivan needed his support. What else Bryan the only son that Ivan so much awaited.
“We will give our best for Bryan's recovery,” Khaira said slowly to convince Ivan who looked at him in disbelief at the decision he had made.
George looked at Claudia while shrugging his shoulders. He knew, Ivan's partner was a perfect woman, not only fun when viewed but his words were also soothing.
Claudia was getting upset to see George who did not support her even the words of George made her unable to dwell. For the umpteenth time he gave up. Coupled with the decision of Ivan's wife made him die of style.
“We go now?” George looked at Claudia while glancing at the clock on his wrist.
It's been two days that Bryan has been living with them. Because he wanted to familiarize himself with Bryan, Khaira deliberately did not come to the booth and attended the invitation of the jewelry exhibition in Yogya. For him with Bryan to build quality time is more valuable than being a narcum at the national diamond exhibition in Yogya this time.
He was also confident in the decision he made. Although he has not discussed this with his extended family, he believes they will respect his decision. Khaira will manage enough outlets and cafes from home. He will dedicate himself to taking care of Bryan who does need special care.
The first time he got close to Bryan, he was able to see the rejection from Bryan's eyes as he tried to get closer by getting him to talk. But Khaira is not out of her mind.
“Good morning miss Mercy .... “ Khaira brings breakfast on a tray consisting of a glass of milk and bread choices that have been prepared bi Risma and other art.
He has also reminded the art to cook healthy food to support the nutrition of Bryan that he has consulted with mbak Hasya, who is a little more knowledgeable about the condition of children like Bryan.
“For the mistress,” Mercy smiles seeing the arrival of Khaira.
“How did you sleep last night?” Khaira looked at the two with a smile that was always on her lips.
“Very soundly, mistress. Bryan felt refreshed when he woke up this morning,” Mercy said honestly.
“I'm glad that you two feel comfortable here,” Khaira said slowly.
“The atmosphere here is very comfortable and soothing,” Mercy said honestly.
He is very happy to meet the hostess of this luxury house as well as the mother continued Bryan. He could see the sincerity that was emanating on Khaira's face. Even though she does not speak Indonesian, but the hostess is very understanding and speaks English like herself and Bryan politely and pleasantly.
Though before their arrival together at Ivan's daddy's house, Claudia had already planted the seeds of hatred and influenced Bryan by saying that his daddy's wife was an arrogant young woman.
But when they meet for the first time and Khaira invites them around to see the neighborhood, Mercy already sees the kindness and sincerity that radiates on the face of the hostess.
“Bryan want breakfast what morning?” Khaira stood before Bryan who was still staring at him reluctantly.
Bryan answered. He recalled Claudia saying that Khaira was the one who had snatched his daddy from himself and mommy.
“Bry .... “ Mercy pats softly Bryan's bowed shoulder, “Aunty Rara is talking to you.”
Bryan shook his head quickly. Although the breakfast Khaira brought was very interesting, but his heart was still not open to receive the kindness of his daddy's wife.
“Pardon Bryan madam, he is not used to it yet,” Mercy said politely worried about offending Khaira.
“It's okay Mercy. I went inside first yes, preparing the needs of Ivan mas,” Khaira leave the two who are still relaxed enjoying the morning atmosphere in the garden behind the house.
“Mrs Rara is very good. I'm happy to meet him,” Mercy said as she prepared bread for Bryan's breakfast.
“I hate him, he has snatched my daddy,” ceplos Bryan instantly.
Mercy was surprised to hear Bryan say. Claudia has poisoned Bryan's mind. But he won't allow it. He had to tell Bryan that what his mommy said wasn't true.
“Sayang .... “ Ivan who just came out of the bathroom was surprised when he did not see the presence of Khaira in the room.
He scrunched his head while thinking. His work clothes were already prepared on the bed, but the figure of Khaira was not there. He circulated the view around the room, but still Khaira's figure was not visible.
“I'm sorry mas,” Khaira returned to the room quickly, “I just delivered Bryan breakfast in the park.”
“Don't push yourself too much,” Ivan looked at him fixedly, “Bryan was as hard-witted as I was.”
“I just want to learn to be a good mother for her,” Khaira said with a smile.
"Enough you're always by my side. I don't need anything else" Ivan looked at her lovingly.
"Mas, we'll be parents to Bryan," Khaira held back Ivan's fingers that were beginning to be unconditioned.
“Whose wife is this, already beautiful, kind, not arrogant .... “
“Start dehh .... “ Khaira waving her lips to hear Ivan begin to launch his deadly seduction, “What time is it?”
“News .... “ Ivan immediately pulled down the towel that covered his innocent body.
Khaira lives in a head-scalp facing the behavior of her big baby who does not see the time, place and condition if it has come hasr**nya.
Bryan observed the interactions that took place between Ivan and Khaira every day. He can see the intimacy between daddy and mom. The sadness of remembering her mommy words came to Bryan's mind again. How wonderful if he, daddy and mommy can be together.
But remembering what Mercy said made him start to change his way of thinking about Khaira. What's more Khaira always invites him to talk and accompanies him to read story books while Mercy does other light work. Although not as a whole, but he began to like Khaira who was always by his side when he needed someone.
