Being a Connecting Mother

Deepening Role

“ I beg you at least as a thank you for helping my son earlier, let me entertain you even if it is just a cup of tea. I beg you for a moment ”

Adira feels a little foreign to listen to the man say the words of my son, as if affirming that Adira does not have a relationship with them. But shouldn't he be happy to hear that then why is there pain arising in his heart.

“ No Mas would be very bad if anyone saw and even cause rumors. I'd better get home soon ”

“ Lily enter first yes, then wash your hands first ” Zein put Lily down and let the child in leaving them both there.

“ Why are you immediately worried about rumors created by others? ”

Adira sighed softly hearing Zein's words to her, the man did not know just what she was going through. Even when he was silent, other people kept talking bad things about him.

“ Since Mas doesn't know how many and bad rumors about me are spreading in this village, I'll leave no need to thank me. I just happened to meet Lily ”

“ Adira.” Zein called out his name with a slow hissing, grabbed the woman's hand and whispered softly.

“ Is not as a fellow stranger who just knows you too look awkward. What's wrong with welcoming an invitation to come over to my house for a while? Because I can't possibly calm down before showing a truly grateful act to the man who saved my son even if he was a stranger. If someone else creates a rumor about it, instead of you being able to answer easily, it's because I've helped his son just like that ”

The long speech delivered right beside his ear was really like an innuendo and also contained a challenge for Adira.

“ What does it mean that I can't behave normally? She thought I couldn't treat her like a complete stranger. Alright let's follow your game ”

“ Alright, maybe for one cup of tea only ” reply Adira with a slightly upset tone.

“ Please enter ” greet Zein quickly with a small smile that appears engraved on his face even if only for a moment.

Adira slowly followed the man from behind. His eyes traced around him and could not cover the admiration he saw, the interior of the mansion looked very luxurious and was also filled with various furniture and electronic items. Very far from the shadow when looking at the front of the mansion that already looks old, as the name implies. Everyone must think in the mansion also looks items that have been classic or impressed long.

But all of the interior appearances of the mansion were very modern, much different from the outward appearance.

“ Adira, sit here ” Zein shift a chair and invite Adira to sit down.

Slowly Adira sat down without needing to reply to Zein.

“ Lily also came here and sat next to Mama Adira ” Zein lifted Lily's body and sat Lily in the chair right next to Adira.

“ Mas.. ” hiss Adira whispered softly towards Zein.

“ What's up? ” Zein replied by saying quietly to Adira as well.

“ Won't Mas explain to Lily that I'm not her mother anymore? What else is still calling me Mama Adira in front of him, how later when he calls me so in front of others ” said Adira full of emphasis.

“ Oh..good ” with leisure Zein respond to it.

“ Lily sit quietly beside Miss Adira yes and from now on Lily should remember should not call Miss Adira Mama ”

Both eyes widened Adira saw how frontal and without calculation how Lily will feel, Zein immediately said it just like that. And is it reasonable for the man to mention Miss Adira in front of the child?

“ But Daddy...” Ogre Lily did not accept with her Daddy greeting.

“ Ssttt ” Zein glues her index finger while blinking one eye at Lily.

And it was true that Lily was instantly silent, and her facial expression also instantly turned cheerful.

“ Now you can rest easy, I can promise Lily won't call you Mama again ”

Adira wanted to ask how Lily could calm down when Zein said that, while earlier when she explained at length to Lily the boy seemed unwilling. But Adira undoes that intention because she does not want to impress the plan, she herself who told Zein to make Lily stop calling her Mama.

“ After I think back is not too good to drink tea especially those that contain caffeine while pregnant, so I think kiwi juice is better ” Zein served a glass of kiwi juice in front of Adira along with a plate of biscuits.

“ Then this cold brown and snack for Lily ”

“ Thanks Daddy ”

Zein stroked his daughter's hair. He made her a cup of coffee.

“ Excuse me for a moment yes ” Zein duck and move will open the shoes Adira wears.

But now quickly and reflexively Adira distanced his legs.

“ What do you want to do? ” asked Adira surprised and confused.

“ Relax pull your feet ” Zein grabs Adira's soft feet and takes off both of Adira's shoes.

“ Sorry I should have opened my shoes before entering, but I forgot. Should have said I could have taken it off myself ”

“ Not because of that problem, but you must be in pain to wear these shoes feet to redden. I know you must have trouble putting up and taking off shoes, so let me just ” Zein also pair the house slippers to Adira's feet.

“ How much more convenient right? ”

Adira nodded slowly, indeed after seeing it turns out his legs look scuffed because of his own shoes. His own fault was because in a hurry finally did not wear shoes that fit the size of his feet.

“ To reduce the swelling of the same leg cramps you try to apply with olive oil while in a slow massage, it can reduce the swelling ”

“ Why is he able to understand such halal well? Did he learn it or was he just a genius at everything? ”

“ No need to feel surprised like that, just info I've been caring for pregnant women as much as three times ” said Zein as if he knew what Adira's mind was.

Feeling clumsy as her mind was read by Zein, Adira immediately picked up the juice glass in front of her and took a slow sip of the juice.

“ Just finish this drink and go home soon. It is only natural that I can suddenly sit in the living room of this mansion with Mas Zein ”

“ I did not see the whereabouts of Aidan and Nadia, did they not move with Mas? ” asked Adira because she could not lie to herself she was curious to know where the children were.

“ I didn't expect you to recognize my kids right away, but we just moved here. Although surprised because of that but I will tell them now can not move here because it is still school ”

“ Huftt..” Adira sighed seeing the man deeply immersed in the role of a stranger in front of him.

“ Sorry Adira I was just kidding ” Zein said chuckling.
