For Yumna

Will of Brother

"But why should we get married? I told your mother that if you were free to meet Yumna at any time, I wouldn't limit it."

"Do you think just occasionally meeting is enough for us, especially my father and mother to vent their longing for the grandchildren they just found? After all my late brother, Yumna's biological father willed me to bring Yumna to our house."

"But how can we get married?"

"You just calm down. Just a wedding formalities. Just so that Yumna can stay with us and you can still be with Yumna. If you refuse, of course we will easily take Yumna. Our family will file child custody."

Naya. Applying child custody? Surely he will lose, they are rich and respected, can do anything with the money they have, while he? Only a kindergarten teacher has nothing.

"Thank God I still want to marry you after what you did to my sister. I'm doing this for Yumna, we know that when she's a little girl, she won't be able to separate from you."

Naya swallowed her saliva.

"alright. I am willing to marry you. I'm doing this so I don't part with Yumna. He is my life. I can't stand being away from him."

Naya keeps recalling her conversation with Kevin that time, when she finally accepted her invitation to marry Yumna.

Today. The wedding day has arrived. Naya, wearing a long white dres, equipped with a pashmina perched on her shoulders, came to KUA with Wati and some of her fellow teachers. Not long after Kevin came with only his parents.

The wedding will be held soon, the KUA has prepared everything. The procession of the contract began, Kevin said the ijab qobul smoothly, so that now Naya has legally become his wife. The process is continued by signing the completeness of the marriage administration.

There was no radiance of happiness from everyone's face, because they knew that the wedding prayer was done, only Yumna the little girl kept smiling happily.

"Congratulations. You're legally a married couple." The head of KUA greets both.

Cahyo and Yanti, both of Kevin's parents immediately embraced Yumna, their granddaughter. Grateful that they will finally live together, their newfound granddaughter will definitely be the cure for the passing of their son, Yumna's biological father who died a month ago.

While Naya, no one cares about her, even Kevin who has now legally become her husband.

But that's okay for him. Now Yumna's happiness is all that matters. Now her daughter must be happy because her desire to have a father has been fulfilled. Not only father, Yumna even has grandparents who will surely shower her with affection.

A few days earlier

"Yes Allah. Quickly drop dad for Yumna.” The little girl turned her head up when she remembered that in 3 days there would be a family race at her school.

Bi Wati who heard directly approached Yumna with a smile.

“Have his prayers? If you are fast to wear shoes, Mommy is waiting for Yumna in front.”

Yumna immediately put on her shoes, after which she ran agilely towards the terrace where her mother was preparing to turn on her motorbike.

The look on bi Wati's face immediately turned sad. For a few hundred times he had heard Yumna praying for a father.

What a shame the little girl thought. At the age of 5 years, Yumna must grow up without the love of a father, it also makes her feel different from other peers who have a complete family.

Although initially shocked and saddened by the question of the princess, the, but over time Naya the mother finally got used to it and replied if God had not sent a father for her and asked her daughter to continue diligently praying for Allah SWT immediately grant his wish.

“Delay. There will be a race in school in three days. All students must invite their father and mother to join the race, continue Yumna take who dong?” asked Yumna who was sitting behind the mother who was riding a motorcycle.

“Why?”

“Mother is a teacher at Yumna school, so mother becomes the race committee, the committee can not participate in the race dear.”

Yumna immediately pouted.

“But Yumna wants to follow Bun,” whine while glancing at the mother.

“Iya. Yumna will follow. We are the same with Aziz, how?”

Yumna fell silent and finally nodded.

Naya smiled at her daughter who did not whine anymore, as a mother she knew that her beloved daughter would not long whine and make her upset.

Yumna's daughter is a smart and obedient child.

At her age, Yumna also grew up to be an agile and cheerful child, with a great curiosity, not infrequently she made her mother overwhelmed by various questions and funny babbles.

Naya the mother felt grateful to see the growth and development of her daughter, even though she had to raise her alone, she made sure that the princess would not lack affection or anything else. Naya will make Yumna grow up like any other child with a complete family.

Upon arrival at school, as usual the two immediately entered the classroom, Yumna cheerfully greeted her other friends, while Naya the mother prepared herself to teach.

But without them realizing from a distance there were two pairs of eyes that were watching them from inside the car.

Kevin continued to look at the little girl carefully, his face similar to the older brother made him sure that it was the child he had been looking for. Although without the results of DNA he will be very sure if the child is the daughter of his brother's birth because the face of both is like a betel in two.

“I've made sure of it, the boy is your nephew.” The detective thrust the paper at Kevin while telling him if he managed to take a DNA sample of the boy when he secretly picked up a strand of his hair while he was playing in Kindergarten. The detective pretended to help when the boy fell while running.

Kevin read the results of the DNA report which states that the DNA sample of the child and his brother is 99% the same. She breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that she was finally able to find him.

“Then it's his mother?” kevin asked a teacher who was calling all the children to class.

“Iya. That's her mother, she works as a kindergarten teacher. This is his bio.” The detective returned the paper to her.

Kevin only read the paper in his hand at a glance and then looked back at the woman who was secretly married by his brother.

I don't know why he suddenly felt angry. I don't know what really happened first, but she doesn't think the woman should have left her brother, especially when she was pregnant. Remembering the struggle of her brother who was willing to lie to their parents just for the sake of marrying her.

Though he was very sure if his brother must have treated his wife very well, it was impossible to hurt him let alone betray him. Evidently even though he has been separated for years, the brother still continues to seek the existence of both and remains loyal to the wife by refusing when it will be betrothed by both parents.

“But there is something strange, the late Mr. Danendra said that his wife's name was Kayla, but the mother of the child was named Nayara.”

“She must have deliberately changed her name to avoid my brother,” Kevin replied with a little annoyance while continuing to guess what the reason for the woman was actually until he had the heart to leave his brother.

“Oh yes. It might be like that.” The detective nodded to himself.

Kevin's phone rang shortly. After lifting her face looked anxious and panicked.

“I'll be there soon Mom,” he said before hanging up the phone.
