The Exchanged Bride
My boy!

"You misunderstood, son. It didn't happen that way. Actually ten years ago the orphanage mother came to us and said that my sister-in-law kidnapped my son and gave him to her. They conspired to make everything look like you were dumped" Allen said.

"Why did your sister-in-law do that?" ask Grandma.

"He was jealous because we had a baby and he was diagnosed with uterine cancer so he wouldn't be able to have children. And when the orphanage mother came, my sister-in-law died of her illness. So we have no trace of looking for him because according to the mother's confession, you left when you were thirteen and my sister-in-law chased you. All I hear is, my sister-in-law told the house mom that you're dead. And after that incident, your mother was sick and eventually died" Allen said.

Dean stayed silent for a long time. He's still digesting what's happening now. "What makes you so sure that this is your necklace?" tanyakanya.

"May I see that necklace?" pinta Allen's.

Resya looked at Dean and got a nod. Resya took off her necklace and gave it to Allen.

Allen scrutinized the necklace closely. He turned the back of the necklace and opened. Then I saw a very small photo. A picture of Allen and his wife.

Dean was surprised to see it. Even all this time it was unthinkable for him that there was a photo inside the necklace.

"This is indeed your mother's necklace" said Allen.

Dean stayed silent for a long time. He stepped closer to Allen and held onto Allen's shoulder. "Dad," call her.

Allen raised his head with teary eyes. He got up from his seat and hugged Dean crying. Dean was crying in his father's arms.

"I didn't think I could hug my father. And now I know when my birthday is."

"My son, my son has returned."

Everything in there was moved to see the union of the child and father after decades. Resya seemed to shed tears as her fiance's hopes became a reality, as did Grandma.

Until suddenly heard a dangdut song from Haira's phone.

Kang, I don't want my love to be split in two

Kang, I don't want to marry again

Gambling and drinks are forgiven

But drunken widow, I don't take it

We better just disperse.

"Oh, sorry it's the alarm tone reminder of breast feeding. I'll stay first, please continue." Haira went to her room.

Aiden patted his forehead.

"Yes, let's continue with dinner" Grandma said.

They continued with the dinner.

"Oh yeah, I heard from Grandma, if you want to propose to aunt Sarah, right?" ask Dean suddenly.

Instantly Allen coughed and Sarah's face was as red as a tomato.

"Yes, your father wanted to propose to aunt Sarah, but aunt Sarah was still hesitant" Grandma said, which now makes Allen and Sarah more misbehaved.

"Then I'll propose to aunt Sarah for daddy. Aunty, do you want your aunt to be your wife?" dean said as he held Sarah's hand and looked seriously.

Sarah looked increasingly awkward.

"Auntie take it easy, if you hurt your aunt or look at another woman, then she'll come face to face with me" Dean said.

"Madam, it seems that your upbringing towards Dean is very disciplined, yes" Allen said.

"Hahaha, of course. Look how he's grown now" Grandma said.

"How's aunt?" ask Dean again.

Sarah seemed silent, but afterwards she nodded in acceptance of Dean's proposal.

Everyone seemed very happy to hear it.

"Dad, can we go to Australia tomorrow and see mom. I'd like to invite Resya and ask for her blessing to marry him next month" Dean said.

"Of course, son, we're going to mom's grave. I also want to ask for the blessing to marry Sarah's aunt. Sarah, come with us tomorrow" Allen said.

Sarah nodded and smiled. They continued to eat dinner until it was over. And tonight Allen doesn't have to go back to the hotel. He's going home to Dean. Enjoy the moments together between father and son.
