Universe Love
chapter 73

"what's this? you bring him. Your picker again?" Elson flinched, staring fearfully at the old woman who was staring at him sharply.

"dude, don't talk. He's Elson..."

"the kid you picked up on the street, right? a rascal." he kept staring at Elson full of dislike.

"a. I.not a gem.I am the son of mother and father.." her little voice trembled. Alpin who did not see him immediately pulled Elson into his arms.

"mah, Elson's my friend's son, they're in a coma right now" Alpin explained.

"mom, no matter. Why do you have to take care of it. Give it to his family, his grandmother must be there, right.?"

"mahs.. Elson has no one left, only two parents who are currently lying in the hospital."

Alpin and his mother are both stubborn.they stick to their respective positions.

"ne.nek.nek don't get mad at papah." Elson's voice stammered.

"what are you saying is I'm not your grandmother, and she's not your father."

in the face so sharp makes Elson increasingly tighten his embrace on Alpin's body.

"mah, why don't you like her so much? what harm?"

"his fault? you ask what's wrong?"

"yes, mah. Elson's just a kid, what's the reason you don't like him."

"because he always foils your matchmaking events, all the girls stay away because that damn kid keeps calling you papah." he shouted, making Elson close his eyes. he was never faced with this kind of situation. his mother and father never shouted, let alone scolded him.

"Zola, you're too much." Handoko went inside because she heard his wife's loud scream.

"mas, look. he brought the boy...."

"enough Zola. Don't scold a child who doesn't know anything." cut Handoko. "Alpin, take him to your room. Tonight he's not coming.."

Elson looked at the old man who had just entered with a fearful look.His tiny hand grasped Alpin's hand not to be let go.

Alpin sighed heavily, he could not bear to leave Elson at home alone.

"fuck. Elson gapapa. papah just go."

"what?" Alpin looked at Elson doubtfully. "you're not a father in living in your own home."

Elson nodded confidently. "yes. papah go with grandfather and grandmother alone."

"cik..keep calling as you please. basic." grumbled Zola.

Handoko just sighed seeing his wife's behavior. Zola was like that, if she did not like someone or something then it would blatantly reveal her.but, did she also have to express her hatred towards that innocent boy.

"hup. come to the room." Alpin holds elson, takes her to the room.

lay down her little body, then kiss her forehead gently. "sleep." she said.

Alpin stepped out of the room heavily.he was not sure of his decision.he cared so much for elson. whereas Elson was not his flesh blood, but somehow Alpin loved him more than himself.

tonight, as planned by Zola, they will meet someone who will be paired with Alpin. Alpin doesn't turn it down now because he doesn't want to hear Zola's constant babbling about her bachelorhood.

"Alpin, remember. You have to give a good impression when you meet Mr. delpan later." Zola kept babbling.

"then you should also be friendly to his daughter......

tell me you're a great doctor."

Alpin said he did not like what kind of input Zola said. yes, he had to admit his own greatness, it would only make him look arrogant.

"already, stop the rambling mamah.we have arrived" said Alpin with annoyance.

"let's just say your mother won't stop before her breath runs out." Handoko said.

the two men with almost similar faces threw each other his eyes.they were no longer strange with Zola's attitude.he was so chatty, always babbling..

Alpin exhales to see the zola that is so excited.the woman looks happy just because of her son's matchmaking event.Yes, all mothers must want the best thing for their children. it's just that every mother has her own way of conveying her affection.and Alpin understands that, Zola is like this just because of her deep affection for her.

"remember, don't mention the boy here." whispered zola somehow for how many times.
