THE SECRETARY'S BED TEMPTATION
Chapter 24~

~"LOVE IS NOT MY SON."

###

"Em, Sir. I want to say something," said Amara who immediately turned his eyes to Galang.

"What?" ask her to Amara who seemed silent for a moment.

The woman inhaled the air deeply and then exhaled it slowly. 'Come Amara. You definitely can. This is for the good of Love.' his inner calling.

"Have you ever said that Love's face is very similar to your Brother's?" He asked in a fearful tone as well as hesitating. His heart was pounding from earlier, like a thief who was about to confess. To swallow it, Amara had to work hard first. His fingers grew closer and closer to each other.

"Yes." Yeah." Galang. "I think they are very similar. Excuse me. I'm not saying that Love doesn't look like you, Ra. Does he look like his father?"

Amara gawked as she nodded slowly.

'Dad? I'm not even married yet. How can Love have a father. ck.' The grunt in the heart.

"You don't have a father, sir," said Amara who then sighed heavily.

"Yes, I know that. Your father is dead, isn't he?"

"Huh?" Amara put on a confused look then shook her head quickly. "That's why Love doesn't die."

The Alis Galang. "Certainly? Say Kasih, his father died since he was two months old," he said— said what he knew of Kasih.

Indeed, at that time Galang had not asked Amara directly about the truth. For he thinks the confession of love is enough for him.

Amara looked down lethargic and said,

"That's love doesn't exist, sir. I—"

"You're pregnant out of wedlock? Or ....?

sela Galang then guessed what Amara was trying to say.

Amara raised her head while shaking her hand. "Huh? No, Sir! That's not what it means," he said, swallowing his saliva. 'Why would he even think that, anyway? What kind of a cute girl do I think?' grunts in the heart.

Galang became confused himself with the direction of their conversation. He even shifted his sitting position to the side.

"Sorry, Amara. I still don't understand what you're saying."

Amara's head was getting pulsating. This conversation seems endless. He sighed riled with a barely audible sigh.

"Marrion?" Galang scanned Amara intensely. Waiting for the woman to answer.

"Look, Sir. I am not married."

"What?" Ball eyes Galang widened. "Then Kasih? I mean, I love your son, right?" Trying to clarify Amara's relationship with Kasih.

Biting his lower lip with a moving eyeball restlessly. Amara could only shake weakly.

"Bu-not. Love is not my child" he replied then lowered his head. 'Finally ..' he continued inwardly. His habits appear. When she was agitated or confused, Amara bit her nails.

Galang's body stiffened almost frozen in place. His gaze could not be seen looking at the girl who had just confessed that Kasih was not his daughter.

"You mean Love's not your real son, is it?" Galang made sure once again if what he just heard was true.

Amara's head nodded, and in a second later she ventured to raise her gaze.

Slowly Amara began to tell the beginning of events several years ago to Galang. From the start he met with Kak Maya, and all her threats are unreasonable. The face of the man in front of him changed. Sometimes sad, sometimes surprised, and the last one starts to shed tears. From what he heard from Amara's mouth, everything was truly shocking as well as heartwarming.

In this day and age, it turns out there are still people as good and as caring as Amara. Who for years was willing to spend time just to care for the baby of someone he did not know. And, more touching is that Amara wants to recognize Love as her biological child even though she has to accept various insults and scorn.

Galang stared fixedly at Amara who continued to tell about his meeting with Kak Maya. Immediately the sympathy and admiration became multiplied many times.

"If you don't believe we can do a DNA test and prove that Kasih is really Kak Maya's daughter."

"What!" Suddenly the sound of screeching mami Sarah from the direction of the door was accompanied by the sound of broken plates.

"Mommy?" Galang sontak standing.

"Mistress?" Amara stood up.

Both men were equally confused. Staring at the mami nyalang who froze in place and then scanned the floor of the room that looked messy. Pudding pieces mixed with broken plates splattered down there.

"W-what did you just hear that wasn't wrong, was it? K-Love Maya's son? Right so?" Mami asked the two people who were looking at her without blinking. The tears came down one by one from his old eyes. He was crying and happy.

I don't know. His feelings are mixed now. Mami Sarah is still not convinced because Amara and Galang are still silent.

"Galang, Amara, mami ask you guys." Mami stared alternately at the two people.

Galang and Amara glanced at each other at a glance, soon after Galang's view turned to mami. His eyes flashed something that made Sarah's mother even more curious. Then with a nod of the head from Galang, my mother could immediately understand, that the answer given by her son was in accordance with what was thought by her.

My mom can't say anything anymore. In addition to the increasingly becoming cries and unceasing thanksgiving came out of his mouth.

A few moments later.

Mami, papi and Galang sit in the same place as Amara and Kasih. While Vanila had been home since then even before Kasih got there. Galang's wife came home with a personal driver delivered mami because here she felt unappreciated existence. Without wanting to prevent it, Galang also let Vanila go home alone. As of today, they will not live under one roof.

It was the second condition proposed by Galang for Vanila if he still wanted to be his wife. And, with a heavy heart Vanila agreed without knowing the plan let alone that would be made by her husband.

The love that was confused by the circumstances around him finally opened his voice.

"Mom, why are Grandma and Grandpa crying?" ask him innocently. He sat beside Amara, while mami, papi and Galang sat across from him.

Amara is confused as to what to answer. Love a very smart child and always curious. Perhaps, he would explain it slowly so that this daughter did not feel shocked.

"You want to stay here with Grandma?" Love's attention is distracted by the offer from mommy. He wiped the rest of the tears with a tissue and stood up and approached his grandson.

Mami sat next to Kasih and asked again, "Love lives here with grandma, same grandpa, same om. Wanna?" stroking the long hair of Love.

Papi Hendra and Galang chose silence. They do not want to add to the confusion of love. Let that be the business of Mami and Amara.

Love fell silent, and turned her gaze to Amara.

"Mom, why should Love stay with them? If Kasih lives with them, how do I continue? Love does not want to leave Mom. Love me with Mom." The boy whined and immediately rushed into his mother's arms. Love cries and fears when it comes to parting with Amara.

The cry of Love clearly made the hearts of the three people even more sad. They have no intention of separating Love from Amara. Therefore, Papi Hendra decided to invite Kasih to stay here with Amara.
