Being a Connecting Mother

Not a Child Custody Place

Adira stared at the wonder why suddenly the girl also came into the kitchen.

“ Did Helena scold them again? ”

“ Yes already, you can cut bring ” Adira handed the bowl containing the onion to Nadia.

Nadia immediately nodded excitedly. But only a few minutes later the girl cut the onion she had repeatedly fanned her sore eyes.

He also repeatedly sniffed because his nose started to water.

Adira who saw that felt funny and a little pity, but she wanted to prank Nadia a little.

“ Give me ” Aidan grabbed the knife from Nadia's hand, because he was done with the vegetable.

“ Why? I can kok kak ”

Nadia snatched a frown because Aidan did not look confident in her.

“ There's no way I'll let your snot fall into this bowl later. Let me continue ”

Nadia finally resigned herself and began to calm down by still fanning her face. Aidan very skillfully cut the onion like a professional chef.

“ Turns out you are smart cook also ” praise Adira see Aidan's ability.

“ Hehehee.aku last month took a cooking course ” Aidan a little misbehaved because it was praised like that.

“ Cooking courses? Since when have you been interested in cooking? ” as Adira remembers, Aidan never liked to enter the kitchen.

“ Actually since I have the intention of going to college out of the country, later there I will live alone of course I have to be able to cook. But there is no way I can also tell this reason to Miss A can-can he be angry again ” , Aidan think about it for a moment.

“ Ah..I just suddenly thought having cooking ability was important for survival ” Aidan replied with a common reason alone.

“ That's because Kak Aidan is going to study abroad, he even signed up ” Nadia said because he knew Aidan was lying.

“ Nadia..” hissed Aidan he glared sharply at his sister.

“ Huftt..so so ” shimmies Adira.

“ Nadia watch out later! I'll snap your head until you can be smart.gak understand read the situation ” Aidan can only curse in the heart.

Adira continues her serious cooking activities, with the help of Aidan and Nadia the food can be served quickly at the dinner table.

Noah is very bad at kitchen affairs so he only helps prepare dinnerware at the dining table.

Helena kept an eye on the four children, because seeing those who did good her emotions was little he could bear.

He clearly still had a sense of humanity that it was impossible to let the children go home hungry, while Helena knew the path of travel from the village was not easy to pass.

Adira was finally able to sit quietly at the dining table, it seems that the atmosphere was more peaceful because Helena also did not protest like before.

They ate in silence while occasionally chatting out just to offer food to the others.

Zein drove his car through the streets where very often found holes due to uneven asphalt.

He was still shocked when Adira called him. As Zein recalls when Adira was still his wife they communicated by phone only three times, that was because Zein was on a business trip and Adira called because Lily missed Zein.

Then he suddenly received a phone call where his eyes were perfectly rounded reading the name on his phone screen.

Adira spoke briefly and went straight to the point, saying the children came to her house and wanted Zein to come to pick the kids home soon. Because if left only children who come home Adira do not believe the trip will be safe.

That was why Zein immediately headed to the village where Adira lived, he himself did not know what caused Noah, Aidan and Nadia to be able to go to that village.

Finally after a long journey he arrived in front of Adira's house, he could only ride this limited car because for the yard Adira house can not be entered the vehicle like a car.

He stepped towards the door and knocked on the door.

Adira from earlier even while cooking was waiting for Zein to arrive, she had already prepared herself for it. Because somehow he himself decided to call the man.

“ Let me just open ” he said quickly get up on his feet as soon as he heard the knocking on the door.

“ Yes already.” Helena was confused as to why suddenly Adira had to rush like that just to open the door.

Helena looked at Noah, Aidan, and Nadia in turn. The three people were still sitting quietly enjoying tea after eating earlier, actually Helena thought of the right moment to immediately tell them to leave. But also confused because the timing is not right.

Adira took a breath and opened the door. Zein could immediately see the figure of Adira who always seemed charming to him.

The woman did not smile or show a friendly expression to welcome Zein, but just a flat expression.

“ They are inside, Mas wait a minute I will call them here ” said Adira did not even offer Zein to enter the house, because nyakin would be complicated if Helena also intervened for this problem.

“ Alright ” Zein can only resigned he knows not the slightest bit he has the right to ask for good again from Adira. Adira continues to treat her children well is a big enough good for Zein.

“ Noah, Aidan.hmm Nadia come with me out, Daddy you guys have come ” Adira said that by trying to stay calm.

“ Daddy?! ” jump Aidan and Nadia simultaneously. While Noah only showed a fleeting shocked expression.

“ Yes ” Adira replied briefly then continued her steps again, and the boys soon caught up with her as fast as lightning.

“ Finally they go ” exclaimed Helena suddenly happy.

Noah, Aidan, and Nadia stood before Zein with a slight bow avoiding his Daddy's direct gaze.

“ You explain later ” Zein said to his children.

“ Adira thank you for calling me to come pick them up, and sorry for them inconvenient ”

Adira just nodded her head slowly. Aidan looked at Adira with a clear gaze, as if asking why Adira should call his Daddy, they might get punished later. But Adira tried to ignore Aidan's gaze.

“ Yes yes should quickly go from here, anyways this house is not a daycare ” cynical Helena suddenly appeared from behind Adira.

“ Present..spicy mouth this girl is still the same ” , inner Adira a little frustrated because it started already the problem that she avoids.

“ I'll make sure they don't come and do something like this again ” Zein emphasizes that promise, while staring at Adira.

“ Alright be careful on the journey Mas ” Adira said as farewell.

Helena pulls Adira's hand to keep her best friend away from her ex-husband.

“ Hai Adira ” Derril greeted cheerfully past Zein and his children who were standing in front of that door, boldly and casually Derril directly approached towards Adira.

“ You guys have many guests today? ” asked Derril while turning his eyes to the four people.
