...💞 Happy reading 💞...

Aslan was still asleep in the thick blanket that covered his innocent, smooth snoring body heard from his breath that rose and fell regularly. Until suddenly the sound of a phone ringing beside the nightstand caused the 34-year-old man to be disturbed.

Aslan slowly opened his eyes, he jerked annoyed open the bedcover that covered his head, handsome man like the Greek god was throbbing annoyed, feeling his deep sleep was very disturbed by the sound of notifications from the smartphone object.

"Oh my God, who the hell is bothering you so early in the morning?!" Aslan grumbled but still he finally woke up and picked up the phone.See the name listed on his phone screen Aslan immediately opened his eyes wide drowsiness disappeared instantly, instantly, he quickly pressed the green icon on the screen.

"Hello ... "

Just then he said that, the soft yet firm voice of a woman across there immediately interrupted with a rather high intonation.

"Aslan! don't tell me you just woke up? I'm waiting to know, what time is it? you forgot huh? or are you intentionally forgetting?!" the angry-pitched story sounded deafening, Aslan to keep his phone away from the ears so loud the voice of the woman over there.

Aslan then looked at the clock on top of his phone screen. God, how could he be this stupid?

"Aslan! listen, didn't I say?!" the voice of the woman on the phone was again heard resuscitating Aslan from his reverie.

"My father was a denger. I'm just getting ready first," Aslan said then immediately turned off the phone no matter what kind of chatty words the woman was going to say next. He immediately got up from his soft bed to then go to walk in closed, get ready. Do not let the woman scold him again because he is late.

The weather this morning looks bright, the city streets are so beautiful on this weekend, it is so nice to see the streets that always look noisy and jammed now look relaxed and organized, the trees on the left and right sides of the road whose leaves are waving slowly in the wind add to the cool of the morning today.

Vania clucked upset, the woman was waiting for a man who until now has not shown his nose. He had been waiting in the long chair where the public waited until now for two hours, but the figure he wanted to see had not yet come.

"Ish, Aslan's really good. Watch out to appear in front of me, I'll get angry at the ashes!" the woman, grumbling long, folded her hands in front of her chest, looking very goiter.

"Who would you go mad at?"

Suddenly Vania felt a cold quickly creeping on her cheeks, making the girl turn to find the man she had been seeing since then now appeared before her, the man accidentally attached a canned drink that was still cold to make Vania squeak.

"Aslan! just ngagetin?!" Vania pouting. Somehow it even looks funny in Aslan's eyes until the man chuckles amusedly.

"Aren't you laughing? I was waiting for you earlier? I waited here two hours ago, you know? two hours!" vania said excitedly emphasized her last word because she was very upset with this man who was taller than her.

But just so Aslan again laughed making both eyebrows Vania wrinkled.

"Lo funny if you get angry again gini? make a gemes," said the man made Vania's cheeks flushed instantly.

"Ish Aslan what the hell? seriously little napa!"

"Yes, I'm serious. Sorry there was a little business so late here," said the man gave an excuse when in fact he forgot because last night was staying up late to complete the proposal on the orders of his grandfather so forget his promise with Vania.

"Oh that's it." Vania manggut-mangut understand. "So are we going to his orphanage?"

After the incident at the hospital park, the, the one where Vania had promised to accompany Aslan in search of her missing sister made the man finally regrow the trust if her sister Chiara was still alive and had to be found soon, however, because Vania had believed her, it made Aslan as if she was given hope to meet her sister who had longed for.

Aslan nodded after the previous one was stunned for a moment. "So. You want to help me, right?"

Vania was a little jolted. He just realized Aslan changed their call that was always me-you, became lo-I as if he wanted to realize that between them only limited to friends and no more. Somehow it made Vania lethargic for a moment but after that she immediately nodded. No, Vania should not look limp in front of Aslan, it's okay for now, Vania always feels comfortable if beside Aslan.

"So dong. I promise you," said Vania with a distinctive grin. The cheerful and optimistic Vania as Aslan had always known.

"It." Aslan gave a cold canned drink in his hand that he had used to shock the girl to him.

"Why early in the morning do I give you a cold drink rich in gini?" Vania protested.

"You don't want to." Aslan was about to pull his hand back quickly Vania held him back.

"No! I want to!" Vania immediately snatched the canned drink to make Aslan smile amusedly and then scrambled slowly the girl's hair.

"Come," Aslan asked after her hand to Vania so they join hands, making the girl freeze for a moment surprised by Aslan's actions while now her heart does not need to be asked again, it was as if he was being discoed because he was currently very happy with the small yet sweet treatment of the man.

...----------oo-------...

This is where Aslan and Vania now stand, in front of a sturdy walled gate with a clearly emblazoned banner attached to the wall of the fence that reads 'PONDOK MELATI ORPHANAGE DEPOSIT"

Aslan was pensive with a face that Vania could not understand while staring at her. Clearly Aslan felt Dejavu with this orphanage, because of this place he was with Chiara once entrusted after his mother died before finally he was under go by his grandparents while at that time Chiara lost due to his own carelessness.

Vania felt Aslan's hand grip was getting tight and hot. Vania looked back at the handsome face, though not feeling it straight away but Vania understood the sadness in the man's heart how she had to go back to remembering the dark times of her childhood, that Aslan should have at that age enjoyed being a child but had to be forced into adulthood by a cruel destiny.

"Related." Aslan nodded steadily then he turned his gaze towards Vania. "Gue should get some good news about Chiara today as well."

After gathering the courage and confidence of Aslan, who was accompanied by Vania, went into an orphanage.

Aslan and Chiara had lived in this orphanage for several weeks, although many years had passed but Aslan's brain still clearly remembered every corner of this orphanage building.

"Where should we meet the caretaker, Lan?" asked the puzzled Vania, the girl crazily swept her gaze across the entire parlour shortly afterwards, a horde of little children came flocking from the door not far away from them.

The children who ranged in age from an average of 5 to 10 years old were excitedly cheering as if the arrival of the two was the one in the future by them.

"Hore there's finally a guest here after all this time!" cheers of the tall and more mature boy among the others.

Then a little girl appeared with a grin that reminded Aslan with a typical Vania grin, making the man instantly turn to the girl beside him.

"Om handsome and beautiful sister here want to give us food and toys, right?" asked the girl with plain sparkling eyes made Vania moody when she saw him and rubbed the chubby cheeks of the boy.

"Eh, you must not be disturbed by the guests" the sad cry of a woman who had emerged from the door of the little children came out, making those who were there look at him for a moment.

"Mother!" the boys answered in unison and then turned towards the middle-aged woman.

Aslan and the middle-aged woman came into contact with each other. There was a sudden longing tucked into the depths of the man's heart.

"Who are you?" ask the sad-eyed woman.

Aslan swallowed the coarse Saliva making his jakun go up and down slowly as he tried to swallow the tightness that was now squeezing his chest.

"It's me ... Aslan, the orphanage that was forgotten."

...---------oo--------...

The almost quarter-century-old woman could not hide her tears, she had been stunned beside Aslan who was now looking at her heartily.

"Have mother, don't cry anymore" said Aslan quietly, understandingly.

"How can you not cry, son? you think you'll never see you again after you're under gone by your grandparents?"

"I know how Mom feels. Thank you for being an understanding mother to me and Chiara, although it's not long for us to feel your sincere affection but we're very grateful for the time we spent in this orphanage."

Sari-the name of the caretaker of the jasmine cottage orphanage nodded. "Mother is always open to any child who needs affection. Including you and Chiara."

Aslan smiles once and for all as she has to lose her mother forever, Sari comes like an angel without wings to her and Chiara, the woman she and Chiara have been calling 'mother' for several months' which provided warmth and security for him and his sister at the time in the worst times when Aslan and Chiara had to lose their mother at the time, Sari, who feels sorry for the life of little Aslan with her sister after the death of their mother, finally decides to bring Aslan and Chiara to live in an orphanage owned by her family.

Sari and Rasti-the mother of Aslan and Chiara, were once best friends. But since Rasti married and had children they are increasingly rare for communication while Sari herself who was declared barren in divorce by her husband and decided to become the caretaker of the orphanage owned by her family. Being a 'mother' to abandoned children or a kara that needs protection and affection. Sari was devastated by Rasti's death at that time and realized that Rasti left her two children in their small contract until finally did not think long again Sari brought her two best friend's children to stay with her.

"I know you are an angel heart. Thank you for your contribution to my life and Chiara's," Aslan said slowly, while Vania who was sitting next to the man was looking at Aslan with a shady look as if she was coming to feel what the man was feeling right now.

"But now, I'm about to ask your mother for help."

"What about son?" Sari looked at Aslan waiting for what Aslan would say next.

"It's about Chiara mother. Did you know Chiara was lost the day I was taken by my grandparents. If you already know it, maybe you know where Chiara was?"

"What do you mean, son? mother even just found out if it turns out Chiara disappeared all this time," said Sari with a surprised expression.

Aslan stared with a cold look, the change in look on the man's face made Sari instantly stiffen in place.

"Mother don't lie. I know you know something about Chiara's disappearance."

"What do you mean, son?" Sari is still in.

"Mother ... You met my grandfather before Chiara disappeared, right? I've known all of my men, you can't lie anymore,"

"I know you are very good but sometimes the human heart is fast changing" Aslan said in a sharp tone. "Tell me mother, how many bribes have you been bribed by grandfather to keep Chiara secret from me all this time?"

Sari looked stuck in her place. He took a deep breath, it was time for everything to be revealed. He could not hide this secret anymore.
