Amara Wants to Have a Mom

32. The more Comfortable

In the morning after cleaning up, Anika sat in front of the dressing table while combing her wet hair. Instantly the look on her face turned moody thinking about her status which had now become the wife of people.

Before taking a shower, Anika just got a call from Tuti. The maid said Suherman had just returned from out of town and was looking for her whereabouts. The middle-aged man wanted to discuss Anika's marriage which would take place in a few days.

When Anika seems confused about how to explain to Suherman that she is married to Alvian, Anika is afraid that her father does not approve of their marriage.

While Anika is still dazed in her daydream, Alvian suddenly appears from behind the bathroom door only wrapped in a towel on her waist. He then approached Anika and hugged her from behind, Alvian commented on the grin of his wife's beautiful face through the mirror reflection.

"Mas.." hissed Anika returned Alvian's gaze, she seemed hesitant to say it.

"Hmm.." muttered Alvian while peeping the side of Anika's ear and tightening her embrace.

"Dad's been home from out of town. Would you like to accompany me to meet him?" anika asked expectantly, she was afraid that Alvian could not keep his promise.

"Of course you want. Wherever you go, Mas will never leave you alone." - Alvian.

Hearing that, Anika smiled and looked back. "Thank you, Mom, I thought"

"Don't think about it! Now that you are Mas's wife, Mas will take full responsibility for you. Whatever happens, we'll face it together" Alvian said.

Anika was filled to hear that, and then she got up from her seat and turned around. He kissed Alvian's lips gently then hugged her tightly. "Thank you, I promise I'll be a good wife to you."

"No need to promise, just prove it if it's true!" sahut Alvian smelled a smile.

Anika nodded her head quickly. He begins to believe that Alvian is indeed the right man for him. She hopes Alvian can really help her uncover the rottenness of her stepmother.

Then Anika pulled Alvian to the side of the bed and chose to sit there. Anika begins to tell the beginning of her life destroyed and how she suffered when she lost her biological mother. That's why Anika ran away from home and chose to live alone in the small rented that she once occupied.

Anika also told that the accident that hit her the other day was a deliberate factor. All of that was the work of a stepmother and her future husband who apparently conspired to get the father's property.

Anika also said that she has strong evidence of their affair. The two men are not ashamed of having committed adultery behind their father and himself.

After telling all that, Anika sobbed and hugged Alvian very tightly. "Mas, please help me uncover the truth! I don't want you being used by them constantly. They are evil, they have hurt me. I thought that mother's death was unnatural, I'm sure that woman was the cause."

Alvian was silent for a moment, he was very sympathetic to hear Anika's life story and then held her tightly. "Sstt... No, don't cry anymore! I promise to solve this problem as soon as possible, trust me!"

Anika raised her head and took an intense look at Alvian. "Promise," he murmured to make sure.

"Yes, baby, I promise. I will do everything I can to make you happy." Alvian rubbed Anika's head and kissed her affectionately.

"Please Mas, thank you." Anika cried tears.

"That's not the way to thank you," Alvian smiled.

"Then?" Anika knitted her confused brows.

"Then' things must be taught anyway, surely you already know how." as long as Alvian smiled mischievously.

"Mas.." whine Anika while pinching the tip of Alvian's chest and pulling her anxious.

"Aakh... Don't pinch, baby! Any other way, right?" de*sah Alvian teases Anika.

"What the hell, Mas?" Anika slightly moved away while pursing her lips.

Then Alvian put on the clothes and tidied his hair in front of the mirror.

Not long after, there was the sound of knocking on the door from outside. Anika who heard that immediately stood up and stepped towards the door and opened it.

"Mama.." cried Amara loudly, then scattered hugged Anika's waist.

"Darling, is your son awake?" said Anika, she then squatted to align herself with Amara and hugged her affectionately.

"Already dong Ma, Amara also had a bath. Amara smells, doesn't she, Ma?" chirp the little girl with a smile.

"Dear baby, Mama's son is very fragrant and beautiful." Anika nods and kisses Amara's cheeks on each side. Alvian who saw the scene then smiled and approached the two of them.

"Papa not hugged?" alvian said to sing lips.

"Pa..." Amara took a quick glance at Alvian and released her embrace from Anika and turned to hug the papa.

"Hehehe... Amara is no longer angry with Papa?" ask Alvian to make sure.

"No," Amara nodded quickly.

Alvian smiled again hearing that, he held Amara on his shoulder and then grasped Anika's hand with the other hand. The three of them left the room and walked towards the dining table.

After sitting Amara in the chair, Alvian and Anika sat down with Ratih who had been waiting for a few minutes. The four of them began to eat the breakfast that had been served on the table.

After breakfast, Alvian tells Ratih to accompany Amara at school. He and Anika have to go to meet someone, Alvian can't tell who he wants to meet.

After Ratih agreed to his request, Alvian paid his respects first. Luckily Amara was willing to understand, the most important thing for her was that Anika could not leave her life again.

"Papa same Mama go first yes, later Amara to her school escorted by Mr. Munir only. Amara's okay, right?" Alvian.

"Yes Pa, but the house should be the same Mama!" answer Amara.

"Dear baby, I promise I won't go again. Now Mama will stay in this house forever." - timpal Anika, then kissed Amara's cheek fondly.

Amara who heard that smiled and laughed with joy.

Alvian and Anika leave the house first. The two of them entered the car and sped off down the highway.

Along the way, Anika seemed pensive in her own thoughts. His body was in the car but his mind was floating somewhere.

There was fear, worry and anxiety as she thought about being reunited with her stepmother, the woman she hated most of her life.

"Think what?" alvian asked as he noticed the change in his wife's countenance.

Anika was aghast and turned towards Alvian, she looked at him intimately. "I'm scared, Mom."

"Not to be afraid, now there is Mas. You're not alone anymore" Alvian told Anika.

"Mmm.." nodded Anika, then hugged Alvian's arm and leaned her head there.
