Three Musketeers Mom
TMM 15'S. Best Friend

Flora*

That's how I've been for the last six years. After the birth of my three daughters, I felt so happy that I could not hold back my tears that kept coming out.

I regret everything I wanted to do before. If, at that time I didn't follow Hannah's request and aborted my fetus. Maybe I will regret it forever. Because I've thrown away the precious treasure I have in my life.

Grateful, grateful and grateful. That's what I kept doing at the time. I will also teach my children to always be grateful for what they receive.

After hearing my story, Odellia fell asleep in my arms. I've been telling a long story, whether he understands or doesn't. What I can say is what I can tell my son.

The children's room door opened, I saw Hannah peeking at us.

"Hi, are the kids asleep?" ask her as she walks in and approaches the children.

"Yes, they just went to bed. Come on, I need to talk to you, Hannah. I have something to ask you." ask me.

I took off my arms and fixed Odellia's position. I covered him to the neck. I pulled Hannah's hand so we got out of the children's room.

"What's wrong? you have to drag me." asked Hannah, looking uncomfortable.

'Umh, sorry. I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm just worried." I replied.

I feel bad for Hannah. However, I also wanted to ask him something very important. It's about Odellia's attitude that I don't understand.

"It's okay. Lora, what's wrong? you're okay, right?" ask Hannah.

"Have children ever asked anything strange?" my many.

Hannah frowned, "What do you mean? strange question how?" hannah asked in confusion.

"Over the last few days, Odellia has become interested in the story of her Papa. You know, I don't even recognize him. I had to lie and say something that didn't make sense." I said.

"Something that doesn't make sense. Like what, that?" ask Hannah again to know.

"What else. When I was asked how Papa's face? I subconsciously answered what I was thinking. What I imagined. I've gone crazy like that." I complained.

I feel so guilty for lying to Odellia. Although I faintly saw and the man did not look bad. However, I still could not know his face clearly.

"I should have approached him by then and confirmed his face. Or maybe I just took a picture. Ah, crap! I feel so guilty for Odellia, Hannah." I said again.

I'm upset, confused too. One side did not want to lie.and the other side I also did not want to make Odellia disappointed because of my ambiguous answer.

Hannah gave me a glass of water, "Drink first, Lora. Calm yourself." he asked.

I received Hannah's gift. I finished the water in a glass with one sip. Then I put the glass on the table. I continued by taking a deep breath, then exhaling slowly.

"What if they're disappointed in me?" muttered.

"no. You know the nature of children is not like that. Slow aun, they will grow big. Until that time comes, they'll understand why you lied. Don't think too much and go to sleep. I've seen some nights you're always late for bed." Hannah explained.

What Hannah said is true. I have been sleeping a lot the last few nights. I don't know why I always think about that stranger. The father of my three sons.

I tried to calm Hannah down. I'm happy, there's still Hannah who's always worried and caring about me. Yes, even though my foster family also loves me very much and my three daughters.

"You'll definitely find your happiness, Lora. Don't give up and just keep getting excited, yeah" Hannah said.

"Yes, thank you, Hannah" I said.

Hannah hugged me, "Oh, my friend. Sorry I couldn't help much. I can only do this to the limit. You know, I'm living alone and I need to increase my bath even more" Hannah said.

"You're very independent, Hannah. I'm so proud of you. As a friend, I am also very happy. What you've done, it's worth it. No, not only valuable, but also special. You sacrificed a lot for me and the kids. Your support and spirit are the source of my strength." I explained.

I can only say that. Saying what I feel and experience.

"Thank you, Lora. Because you also become not lonely because of the absence of both parents. You're the best" said Hannah, tightening her arms and then taking off her arms.

Hannah looked at me with a smile. I returned his smile too. Hannah is a very warm person. She is a grown woman from me. Every time I have a problem, he is the one who helps me. It always reminds me of the little things too.

"What's seeing me?" tanyanya's confused.

I shook my head, "nothing. I'm just amazed at you. You're so cool in my eyes." I teased him.

Hannah pulls the nose, "Basic teaser. Been already. Come on, let's go to sleep. It's late at night. You'll have to stop by your adoptive family's house tomorrow. You didn't forget, did you." he said, again reminding.

I could only nod my head to his words.

"I go first, yeah. You sleep fast." said Hannah, she passed.

I just looked at his departure. My mind suddenly thought of something. Yes, I imagined the faces of my real Papa and Mama. Since then, they and I have not had any communication. There is fear, sadness and disappointment. I want to hear their voices once in a while. However, it seemed like they did not remember this single daughter of his.

Not just my parents. I also thought about my cousin, Reine. Did he and Evan finally get married? Haaaaaaah. Why also do I remember the person who had kicked me out and got me in trouble.

"Hahaha .. "my laughter is sour.

My heart aches to the fullest extent of the body. The bad things, one by one I remember. It feels so tight to the chest. Betrayal of his cousin and former fiancee. Not only was the crime of cheating, they even wanted to throw me at foreign men to destroy my reputation. Yes, although in the end I also slept with other strangers. They laughed happily at my suffering.

"christian, Evan. I hope you will reap from what you sow on me. May you also feel betrayed and played with." I murmured.

I pat both my cheeks with my two hands. So that I may come to my senses from my dark thoughts. I'll assume what I just thought was a nightmare. Dreams that are just sleeping flowers.

When I realized, I walked to my room. I felt my body weak and not powered. Plus the number of thoughts that filled my head. To the point that I can't think properly and correctly.

Arriving at the room, I immediately threw my body on the bed.

"Forget it all, Lora. And let's close your eyes. It's time to sleep, because a long tomorrow will be waiting for you." I said to myself.

Slowly I closed my eyes. The atmosphere is so quiet and calm. Without even realizing it, I finally drowned in silence and met a dream.
