Bara looked at Mulan's bead after giving her a little advice. Mulan seemed to understand the meaning of his words. The woman even nodded despite looking forced.
The woman looked dreamy for a while. I don't know what Mulan is thinking, which is clearly the other side that the woman shows when telling the dark experience of her previous marriage.
Suddenly Bara remembered something that attracted them to this complicated marriage. If it wasn't for Rayyan suddenly calling him papa, perhaps his encounter with Mulan would have never happened either. It seems interesting to look at. Did Mulan deliberately show a photo of herself to deceive Rayyan or what? Bara was really curious.
"Lantas, how could Rayyan think I was her father? What story are you telling? Why did Rayyan make me a papa figure?"
Mata Mulan immediately boughtak heard Bara's question. It turned out that the man asked also in the end.
Now what should he answer? Could Bara believe if Rayyan's imagination alone is too high, so consider the figure he tells is in Bara Aditama?
"I–" Mulan bit her lower lip. At a time when he was still confused to start explaining everything from which direction, Bara just looked at him like impatient.
"I what? Do you know who I was before?"
"No, Mister. You misunderstand me if you think I've been after you."
"Then?"
"I only describe the figure of his father in Rayyan's memory only through the story. Not photos, not paintings. When I told Rayyan about her father, I really described how Reno had physical traits. From her stature, from her posture, even the way she dresses. Everything's real, nothing I've cornered!"
"What is his relationship with me?" Bara asked again. It seemed to be the answer Mulan gave.
"For God's sake, sir. It has nothing to do with you." Mulan explained full of sincerity. "After some time Rayyan lived with your family, have you ever researched Rayyan's true nature?"
"Funny." Bara laughed cynically. "It could be that a child like Rayyan thinks of me as her father, while we don't yet know him. If there is no similar picture where might Rayyan conclude."
"Mrs ...!" Rayyan suddenly called out from a distance, making the two people who were talking turn their heads in that direction at the same time.
Mulan and Bara compactly smiled at Rayyan who was waving her hand.
"Ma, play water with Rayyan yuk! Oh, you're calling."
Mulan simply smiled as she waved her hand back. Actually he was reluctant to play wet in front of Bara. However, what about Rayyan if she refused his invitation. Ah, but it seems like a good idea to avoid a debate with Bara getting more sustainable.
Mulan finally decided to get up and accept Rayyan's invitation. However, before moving on, he took the time to speak to Bara.
"It's up to you to judge what I look like, Mr. Bara. But I'm not as bad as you think. I spent a long time getting away from my real life. I don't really want to be in this position, either. You just calm down. Someday I will explain who Rayyan's real father is."
Seeing the joy on Rayyan's face, Mulan unconsciously shed tears between her smiles. Finally Rayyan can feel the happiness of a whole family like her friends. Although only a fake family is not yet clear where their story will boil down. And all this happened to anyone else? Bara again, right? Hopefully Rayyan will not be disappointed if the child knows the truth.
While playing in the sand, Rayyan suddenly stopped and approached her mother. The adorable boy sat right in front of Mulan, staring at her mother's face so closely that Mulan wondered.
"Rayyan. What's up, honey?"
"Mama know, Rayyan today seneeeeng really can get together and have fun with Mama and also Papa. But can Rayyan be naughty and ask for something more? Rayyan wants us to go often together like gini. Laughing. Toys alike. Can't it be Ma?"
"Can dong, Rayyan." Suddenly, the sound of Bara answered quickly. Making Mulan and Rayyan look at each other at the same time. I don't know since when the man has been standing not far from them. Even now it is getting closer.
"Really, Pa? Will often?" The boy asked enthusiastically. Then cheered cheerfully after Bara assented. "Yeyyy! Thanks, Papa." The tiny hand hugged Bara's kneeling neck.
A different expression was shown by Mulan on Bara. The woman seemed to dislike Bara's attitude towards Rayyan. Why did he give Rayyan hope if the beginning of their arrival was still in question. What does that guy want to try?
When Mulan puts on a hostile face, Bara just responds casually. The man without any sense of sin sat down taking a position right beside Mulan. That woman doesn't want to waste a chance. When Rayyan was hit and preoccupied with her sand toy, she hurriedly reprimanded Bara with her cynical sentence.
"What do you really want, Mr Bara? You want to hurt my son with false hopes?" the question is full of emphasis but in a slow tone.
Bara who was printing sand immediately replied to Mulan's question with a question, but without fading her smile and remained in a relaxed tone.
"Which false hope do you mean, Mrs Mulan?"
"Your answer was at Rayyan's request earlier!" press Mulan. "Rayyan is my son, sir. I don't like other people spoiling my child the wrong way. More so with this intention of revenge like you."
"Revenge?" Bara repeated Mulan's sentence in a questionable tone, but then she laughed. "Jeez .., you're so overrated it turns out yes. Who wants revenge?"
Mulan snorted softly. Obviously the man has hit the war drums, but why not blame now?
Mulan, who was looking sideways, was shocked when Bara suddenly wrapped her hand around Mulan's shoulder.
The woman immediately bought in panic and looked at Bara with eyes glaring full of gestures. However, before Mulan delivered her violent protest against Bara's sudden action, the man warned her first.
"Look at your smiling son seeing our closeness. You want Rayyan to be happy, don't you? It's best to act a little bit for today, as if we were the happiest couple in the world. Can, right?"
Mulan shuddered in horror. Why did Bara's whisper sound so sensual in her ear?
