The Extraordinary Duda
Meet Mommy Aara

When the sound of footsteps running closer with a loud voice calling the name of the little girl who was being held captive by Amber, Aara turned her head instantly.

"Mommy!" exclaim Aara happy. He took off Amber's hand and ran towards Claire.

"Honey, I'm sorry Mommy" Claire whispered as she hugged the princess.

"Mommy's coming" said Aara. The sad face and puddles of tears that almost spilled now turned into a cheerful smile and happiness. Aara hugged Claire tightly, letting go of all the longing piled up in her chest.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Amber could now breathe a sigh of relief. He almost felt disappointed and desperate. He is afraid that Aara will get hurt again, but in fact Claire does not break her promise.

"Thank you for taking the time to see us, Miss Claire," Amber said.

"No, Amber. I should be the one to thank. You've been patient waiting and willing to take Aara here" Claire replied. The woman picked up Aara and carried the little girl.

"This is my duty, Miss."

Claire smiled, she put Aara on her lap and sat down.

"You must have waited a long time, I'm sorry, Amber. Forgive Mommy, honey," Claire said.

"It's okay, Miss. Most importantly, now you're here."

"Yes, Mommy." Aara hugged Claire.

"I thought you weren't coming. I've called many times and sent a lot of messages. You didn't answer the phone or reply to my message at all" Amber said.

"My phone was left in the studio, I hurried and forgot to take it. Now my secretary is taking it" Claire replied.

The woman picked up the paper bag she had brought. He took out a pony-shaped doll and gave it to Aara.

"Taraaaa! Mommy has a gift!" exciting Amber.

"Wow, doll!" yelled Aara happy.

"You like it?"

"Like, Mommy," Aara replied as she hugged her doll. "Aara also has a gift for Mommy" he continued.

"That's a gift for Mommy!" aara exclaimed as she pointed at the bouquet of flowers carried by Amber. Almost, this bouquet would be a wasted gift if Claire reneged on her promise.

"Aara said you like white flowers. So we chose this flower" Amber explained.

"Thank you, honey. Thank you, Amber." Claire smiled haru. She did not expect that her little daughter even knew the color of her favorite flowers.

Aara told Claire about her daily life. The little girl also told me about school activities and her friends.

Claire listened enthusiastically. The woman was very happy to see her daughter growing up well and beautiful. It's just that guilt still haunts him. He who brought Aara came to this world, but he himself could not take care of the child with his hands.

"Every day, Mama Amber takes Aara to school. So, Aara is no longer being made fun of by friends" said Aara.

"Mama Amber?" claire asked with a frown. He threw a glance at the woman sitting in front of him.

"Don't misunderstand me, Miss. It was just a call, me and Mr. Maverick had nothing to do" Amber explained before Claire asked.

But the unexpected reaction came from the woman who works as a famous model. Claire chuckled softly while shaking her head slowly.

"Ambre, Amber. Why do you think that? I'm just surprised, but I don't want to ask you about your relationship with my ex-husband" Claire said.

"But ...."

"Whatever your relationship is, it's none of my business anymore. But about you and Aara, I deserve to know everything. After all, it doesn't hurt if you and Arion have a special relationship, you guys seem to fit in, "soon Claire.

"Don't make it up, Miss. Where can it be like that. After taking off a perfect woman like you, she might pick up second-hand items like me" Amber said.

"There is nothing wrong with your status as a widow. I'm a widow, too, Amber. And we're not secondhand."

Amber swelled wide. How did Claire know she was a widow?

"Don't be surprised, I've traced the origin, Amber. I'm sorry, but I need to know all about the woman that Arion trusted as my son's nanny. Because I don't want Aara being taken care of by the wrong people" Claire explains. He could read Amber's shock.

"It's okay." Amber nodded and smiled. He understood Claire's worries.
