The Woman the Lord Pays
Thank You Sign

The medicine box is already on the floor, Morgan is treating a wound in Eliana's leg caused by the high heel heel used by stepmother Eliana when stepping on her foot. There was no pain shown by Eliana, Morgan raised her face to look at her because usually women will be spoiled at such times.

"Didn't it hurt?" ask Morgan.

"It hurts, of course."

"Why then don't you show any pain at all?"

"Do you want me to scream like crazy just because of the pain?"

"No, it's not that!" some wounds that needed to be bandaged using bandages were re-clad after being given the medicine and after finishing, Morgan sat down by Eliana's side.

"I want to take you out to dinner but I can't seem to say, what do you want to eat?"

"No need, Morgan. Thank you, just pay attention to your two sons. Don't mind me, I can be alone" Aliana said.

"Always that's all you say, see how you are? You can't do anything!"

"I don't want to trouble you, Morgan."

"I don't feel bothered at all! Wait here, I'll make food for us" Morgan said.

Eliana nodded, her eyes not separated from Morgan who was stepping out of the room.  Morgan's attitude suddenly changed, he was like never before. His attitude is more gentle and polite, no matter what happens he himself does not know.

Edwin and Elvin, who had woken up earlier and had taken a bath, ran out of the room to find their father. The sound of objects falling from the kitchen made them run towards the kitchen because they knew their father was there.

"Daddy, where's Mommy?" so did Edwin and Elvin.

"Mommy's in Daddy's room" their father replied.

Without wasting any time, Edwin and Elvin ran towards the room because they wanted to see their mother's state. Eliana smiled when she heard their voices. Eliana shuffled so she could lean on the head of the bed when Edwin and Elvin had gone inside.

"Mommy, what about Mommy?" yell them both.

"As you can see, what's not good is just Mommy's two legs."

"If there's anything Mommy wants, tell me" Edwin said.

"True, Mom. We'll get you whatever Mommy wants" Elvin said. The two of them had already sat down by Eliana's side to see the state of their mother.

"Thank you, Mommy's been so helped by the two of you."

"Is Mommy not helped by Daddy?" ask Edwin.

"Of course Mommy helped" replied Eliana.

"According to Mommy what about Daddy? Is Daddy still not cool?" ask Elvin.

"Cool, cool of course!":

"really? Is Mommy in love with Daddy?" ask Edwin excitedly.

"No!" eliana replied because she was not in love with Morgan.

"Why, Mom? He said our Daddy was cool but why didn't Mommy fall in love with Daddy?" ask Elvin.

"Your Daddy is cool but that's it because your Daddy hasn't been able to make Mommy fall in love until now!"

"Well, Daddy sucks!" edwin.

"True, Daddy's charm can only tempt witches!" elvin.

Eliana chuckled, the two of them were very worried. He had even forgotten some things, for a moment he wanted to be like that because he wanted to be with them longer. She wishes Edwin and Elvin were her sons, and she somehow wants to know the date of their birthdays.

"Boys, when's your birthday?" ask Eliana.

"December the fifteenth step, is Mommy going to give us a present?"

"Well, soon enough" said Aliana with a smile. December the fifteenth? The date is the same as the birth date of her two sons but unfortunately the month is different because she gave birth to the fifteenth of October.

"But Daddy's birthday is near, Mom. Don't you want to give Daddy a present?" ask Elvin.

"Sure, Mommy will give it to you later."

"If so we'd like to help Daddy out first!" Edwin and Elvin jumped down from the bed and ran out of the room.

Edwin and Elvin help their father make food, and they say their father can't make Eliana fall in love. Morgan did not reply, he knew Eliana a different woman who was not easily seduced by her handsome appearance. Well, it was like a challenge and indeed she had been challenged from the beginning but at least, Eliana had already considered her cool and it was a very good development.

The voice in the kitchen sounded crowded, it was because Edwin and Elvin were having fun with their father. Already several types of food that has been made, of course Morgan looks satisfied as well as the twins. They both look satisfied even though the kitchen is a little chaotic.

"Come, Dad. Take Mommy out so we can eat together!" elvin Pinta.

"Wait here, Daddy will take him out!" Morgan put the last meal on the table, while Edwin and Elvin were already sitting down to wait for their father and mother.

Eliana looked pensive as Morgan walked into the room. The man smiled as he stepped closer to her and in a hurry Eliana immediately shuffled to the side of the bed because she knew the man was safe to take her out.

"Where are Edwin and Elvin?" ask Eliana basa.

"They've been waiting for us at the dinner table."

"I'm sorry to bother you, Morgan," she's not feeling well. Morgan was a ruler who had everything but he had to enter the kitchen because of him.

"No need to think about it, I don't mind," slippers were taken for Eliana to wear so that Eliana's feet wouldn't get cold from the cold floor. Eliana did not take her eyes off Morgan as the man wore sandals on his feet. Morgan was busy and so finished, accidentally their gazes so met.

"Why see me like that?" ask Morgan.

"No, there's nothing!" Eliana turned her gaze in a hurry.

"No need to worry" Morgan moved up and held Eliana as a princess, "I will do nothing to you" she said again as she strode towards the door.

"Thank you," Eliana ventured into giving Morgan a kiss on the cheek. Surely Morgan was surprised so that his steps stopped and his eyes looked at Eliana who blushed in shame.

"That's a sign of my gratitude because you've helped me" Eliana said.

"That's not enough, Eliana!" said Morgan.

"So, what do you want?" eliana asked with a astonished look.

"Tonight, you should sleep with me!" Morgan again stepped out of the room and headed towards the room.

"What's? I don't want to!" eliana Protest.

"Boys, Mommy won't sleep with us!" morgan shouted a little.

"Hey, what does that mean?"

"Mommy why don't you sleep with us?" Edwin and Elvin were waiting to run to their father and mother.

"Not want to, but?"

"You yes, Mom. Tonight sleep with us" whined the twins.

Eliana glared at Morgan, the man smiling triumphantly. Edwin and Elvin were still whining so inevitably Eliana finally agreed because the crybaby who was easy to cry, was already seen crying. He was very surprised, why was the child so easy to cry?

Edwin and Elvin cheered happily, certainly Morgan too but he cheered inwardly and the smile he was showing at the moment, showed the feeling of pleasure he was feeling. One step closer, he felt even stranger as he looked forward to it. Not only did she look forward to sleeping with Eliana but she also felt a sense of bursting in the heart of the fireworks on the eve of the new year.

"It looks like the happiest tonight is Daddy!" shout Edwin.

"Of course, Daddy just got a present!" his father said proud.

"Daddy is cheating, we want a gift, too" cried Elvin.

"Mommy will give it to you later" Eliana said.

"If so Daddy can't sleep with us!"

"What's? Didn't we have a deal?" morgan protest.

"Daddy cheated so no, tomorrow we can sleep with us!"

"True, we didn't go to bed with Daddy!" said the youngest.

Morgan glared at his two sons, the feeling of excitement like fireworks that he felt suddenly disappeared. Though he had hoped but his two sons destroyed it.

"We're just kidding, Dad. Daddy can sleep with us" Edwin said.

"Right, we were just kidding. Don't let Daddy cry in the room" said Elvin.

"Both of you!" Morgan sneered at the temple, he was played with by two sneaky little kids. Edwin and Elvin laughed and so did Eliana. Although upset, Morgan finally smiled. Why did he feel like they were like family now? He used to feel it, that kind of warmth and togetherness. The family he had for a moment was ultimately shattered by the betrayal committed by his mother but at this moment, he felt like it was always like that and he very much expected them to always be together.
