Woman's Suit For Doctor
Understand That They Are Twins
Rafli almost spouted laughter. Aika's innocent mind felt very adorable to her, it made Rafli have to be careful in explaining something.
“Not eat, Honey. But at that time Aika was still a baby and very weak. Therefore mommy protects you in her stomach.”
Rafli opens the next sheet. Where Aika was born and is in Arumi's lap. In one of the photos, Arumi is kissing the cheeks of a small baby. Aika repeatedly asked if the baby in the photo was her.
“Look at you, your body is very small. That's why mommy needs to protect you. Mommy loves Aika very much. He hugs and always takes care of you.”
Aika was still trying to digest her daddy's speech. He looks confused, but still staring at the photos one by one.
“But why did mommy turn nasty, Daddy?”
"Not a bad mommy, son."
Rafli returned to smile. Now he opens his phone and shows a photo of a pair of twin girls he took from the internet.
“See this photo!”
Aika noticed the exact same two children in the photo. Both her face, hair, body shape and clothes were exactly the same.
“Who is this, Daddy?” Aika pointed at the two children on her daddy's phone. Make Rafli take a deep breath.
“How do I know, Son!” rafli said in his heart. Giving an explanation to a child does require extra patience.
“It was a pair of twins who had exactly the same face. But both are different people.”
“Why are their faces the same?”
“That's what we call twins. They were born from the same mother simultaneously.”
“And your mommy is out of luck, son. Yes, she has a very evil twin sister like an old witch in a fairy tale country.” Again, that long grunt was only Rafli uttered inwardly. Now he even felt like biting Aika so anxious.
“It's the same as mommy. Mommy has a twin sister whose face is exactly the same. But they are two different people. Mommy Arumi is very kind and she loves you very much. Mommy Army is the one who gave birth to you, not Mommy Yuna.”
“What mommy really loves me?”
"What mommy came to pick me up at school was Mommy Army?"
"Yes, Son. Mommy purposely covered her face with a veil so you wouldn't be afraid."
Little by little Aika began to understand the words of her daddy. He even had the courage to open the photo sheet until the last page.
“Then where's my mommy, Daddy?”
“You want to meet him?”
Aika was silent for a moment. Her lips clenched tightly as if hesitating to answer her daddy's question.

Arumi dragged her suitcase out of the room. After a long talk, Mom Riana was unable to persuade him. Even the woman had already done her best drama like Rafli's request to prevent Arumi's departure. But the truth is that all attempts failed. He only sobbed to see Arumi walking towards the door and putting her suitcase there.
Mom Riana even thought about fainting. But, given that Arumi is a smart woman, he undoes his ridiculous intentions and hopes Rafli comes soon.
“Think again, Arumi. If not for Aika, hold on for Rafli. You two are victims of Yuna's selfishness.”
“I'm sorry, Mom. I'll definitely be back later. For now I need a new atmosphere and a new environment. Too many wounds I can't heal here.”
The two hugged each other. Arumi could feel how Mom Riana was unwilling to let go. But all of this is for Aika's good, and Arumi will do anything for her daughter.
“Thank you for believing in me when no one believed. I'm goin. I'll drop my daughter one more time.”
Not waiting long, Arumi grabbed the handle of the suitcase. However, upon opening the door his steps instantly came to a halt. Within seconds his eyeball melted the clear crystal looking at the figure standing in the doorway.
