Exchanging Bride

We put Kiara in Aldi's hands.

"Assalamualaikum" Kiara knocked on the main door of the orphanage as she said her greetings with a fluffy smile on her face.

"Greetings mayor" There are already several children waiting for his arrival.

Those who answered Kiara's greeting immediately scattered over to Kiara.

"Sister Kiara..." Excite them simultaneously.

Kiara knelt down then opened her hands wide. Ready to embrace the sisters of the home.

"You all grow up fast." Kiara whispers with a haru flavor that bursts in her chest.

"That's because old brother didn't come to see us." One of the smallest girls among them.

"Yes. Sorry brother yes deck. I haven't visited since I went to Jakarta."

"I guess you forgot your way home." The same little girl.

"Nobody kidnapped ya." A boy who is the same age as the girl.

"Hooked?" Kiara was astonished by their imagination.

"Yes. Brother used to go to other people. He kidnapped sister, right? The proof is that brother did not come with that person. But same with this sister." Show the boy to Aldi.

"Haha. You're a pinter making a fairy tale on the deck." Kiara got up from her kneeling position. Then he looked back where Aldi just stood watching Kiara.

"I'm sorry I nyuekin you." Kiara just remembered there was Aldi coming with her.

"I'm happy like this by seeing you doang." Aldi smile.

"That's right. I'm actually. This one's different from the one that kidnapped our sister." The little man turned Kiara's attention back.

"What a deck is different." Kiara wants to laugh hearing Bima being accused of being Kiara's kidnapper.

"Both of you both like it with a smile. I think happy that. Brother's different. Not like you used to like moody." The smallest girl.

"Sheck deck. Already ah. Temenin brother met the mother of the orphanage just yeah."

Just saying his name, it turns out Mother babysitter has arrived to visit Kiara.

Kiara was very happy to see him approaching.

"Mother." Kiara ran into his arms.

"Mother, Ananda, it's good to see you." Kiara is still talking while hugging the mother.

"Mother is even happier." The mother rubbed Kiara's hair while breaking down her tears.

"I'm sorry Kiara hasn't come back here since she left." Kiara looked at the mother after previously breaking away from her embrace.

"Already, ra. What matters is that you have come. Mother is very happy." Mother tried to wipe her tears.

"Mother has prepared a room for you and your husband. Let's put your stuff in your room first." Mother took Kiara to her room.

Aldi took a shower and changed his clothes. While Kiara sat with Mommy in the lounge where the orphanage children were surrounding the two.

"Mother is worried about your return. What's up, Ra?"

"There's nothing, mother. Kiara just misses."

"Well, if you don't want to tell a story. You have to share with your mother if you need a friend to share a story, son." Mother holding Kiara's cheek.

Kiara started to tear up. But not to shed tears.

Mother also saw sadness in Kiara's eyes. But did not proceed to force Kiara to tell a story.

"Aldi looks good, son."

"Do you think so?"

"He brought you here. Accompany you on the way so far."

"Yes, mother. Kiara's happy to be back here." Kiara hugs mom. Some moments want to unwind. Lean on to the woman who Kiara's parents have been since childhood.

After taking off Mother's embrace, Kiara saw the arrival of Aldi who already looked fresh with more relaxed clothes instead. T-shirt with jeans.

Aldi likes to wear a shirt every time out of the house either for work or just the road. It is rare for Kiara to see Aldi wearing a casual t-shirt. Especially jeans.

If at home also Aldi rarely wear clothes like this. Makes Kiara feel Aldi is younger for years.

"Mother stay in the kitchen for a while, son." Mommy breaks Kiara's daydream. Stopped the eyes of the two.

"You're sad again." Aldi looked at Kiara's face.

"No. I'm not sad." Kiara smiled stiffly. The wrong way to know Aldi understands his feelings at this time.

"Have you finished coordinating your work?" Kiara distracts me.

"Yet. Tomorrow it's just."

"Is there a place you want to visit in the city?"

"What?" Kiara confusedly answered Aldi's question which changed direction.

"I want to take a trip to town tomorrow. Where do you want to take me?" Aldi focused on looking at Kiara.

"I want him to go to the playground with the orphanage kids. You want nemenin?"

"Of course."

"Aren't you bothered playing with a lot of kids?"

"Why disturbed?"

"I guess you'd rather be alone." Kiara seduces Aldi

"I used to say I like to be alone?"

"No really. But you usually stay alone when you work at the office or at home."

"Does that mean I seem to prefer myself?"

"Yes"

"No. I love going the same way you and the kids are here"

"That's tomorrow we'll take a walk to the playground!" Kiara exclaims. Makes a lot of kids look up and cheer.

Aldi could only smile at Kiara's childish behavior with the children in front of him. Rarely did Aldi see Kiara's face that did not look serious.

When at home cooking or cleaning, his face seemed to focus on his work. When in the car on the way anywhere also Kiara always seemed to seriously think of something.

"Son Aldi." The mother of the parlour called Aldi from beside her. Spreading Aldi's thoughts about Kiara.

"Yes Mother."

"You wanna take a walk around the parlour?"

"Sure, Mother. Please." Aldi was friendly and gave way to my mother.

"Nak Aldi seemed to notice Kiara constantly during her time here. Have you been putting your heart on your child for a long time?"

Aldi stopped his steps. Staring at the mother who also stopped stepping.

"Son Aldi loves Kiara, right?" Mother looked into Aldi's eyes. Trying to find the answer from his gaze.

Aldi himself just looked at Mother. Don't want to answer. Aldi was just starting to think about the answer to this question.

"Son," Mother grasped Aldi's right hand, "Kiara a kara from birth. We're the only ones in this orphanage his family. Now Aldi's son is also her family, her husband Kiara. Take care and love him, son."

Aldi looked at his right hand which was still in the grip of both hands of Mother.

"Even if it's too late, but Mother wants to keep saying it. We put Kiara in Aldi's hands."

Aldi never answered the words of Mother. Aldi is still thinking about the question Mother.

"Please take care and love Kiara yes son. His closest family at this time is only Nak Aldi. We're all here too far away. Only Aldi's son can expect to give all his love and affection to Kiara."
