I'M A BASTARD!

HANNA

They had breakfast together at the dinner table and as usual Hanna served food to Aruna.

"Aruna let's eat first" Alika wanted to feed Aruna but the sweet boy shook his head.

"Darling why? it's your favorite food, right?" Alika is still trying to persuade Aruna.

When Alika managed to make Aruna eat a little food, Aruna vomited the food. Alika tasted Aruna's food and looked at Ethan.

"Sir... have you ever tasted Aruna food?" Alika's question arrived at Ethan.

"Never...What's the matter? is there something wrong with Aruna's food?" Ethan's.

"There is no old! I made the young master's meal with the best ingredients and already I made sure it was safe food for the young master" Hanna said in self-defense.

"I know these foods are made with good ingredients but the problem is why do babies eat like this you put a lot of salt in?

Hanna she's a year old if you make food this way it'll affect Aruna's digestion. It's an excess of salt, it contains pepper, and you're also including artificial flavoring!" Alica.

Karina went and tasted Aruna's food for herself, it turns out that what Alika said was right. Karina took Aruna's bowl and slammed it in front of everyone.

"So this kind of food you've been giving my granddaughter all this time?!" Carina.

Alika goes to the kitchen and makes her own food for Aruna. Alika deftly make food for Aruna based on potatoes, chicken, and some other vegetable mix.

"Hanna you're too much! You let me down Hanna" Ethan.

"Master hicks sorry my master just. I-m sorry sir" Hanna cried and knelt before Ethan.

"Uncle Leo take him and discipline him" Ethan said.

Aruna cried for fear of seeing all the commotion. Ethan quickly holds Aruna and calms the child down.

"Sad sorry again papa let your guard down" said Ethan while hugging Aruna.

"Ethan if it continues like this to pity Aruna, you must get married immediately so that your child can have the figure of a mother and not continue to be a victim like this" Karina.

"Bad Aruna here, son, I've made you a new meal, baby..." Alika put down Aruna's food and held the sweet child.

Karina tasted a little Aruna food made by Alika and smiled.

"It's so good.. Did you add milk to it?" Carina.

"Yes madam" Sahut Alika politely.

Alika calms Aruna and feeds Aruna slowly and carefully. Aruna ate very greedy food that he spent without waste even though usually Aruna only ate a little and preferred to eat fruit.

Ethan, who sees his son eating voraciously, feels more guilty towards the child. Ethan did not eat in the slightest he just focused on looking at Aruna who was in Alika's lap.

Aruna suddenly burps and laughs while looking at Ethan. Without saying anything Ethan takes Aruna to his lap and hugs Aruna.

"I'm sorry papa son, you must have suffered so much from eating such food every day, papa thinks you like to eat fruit but it turns out that's your way to make your stomach full forgive papa Aruna" Ethan hugs the child with regret.

Alika can only look down she also pity there is Aruna. Alika was grateful because she had tasted Aruna food served by Hanna because if not then Alika would have regretted it forever.

"Alika thank you for letting my son off that torturous meal" Ethan.

"Your master has entrusted Aruna to me, and that has become my duty" Alika said.

"Gentleman where are we going?" Ask Alika who is confused.

"later you'll find out" said Ethan coldly.

Leo and Luis were also there to keep them safe. Ethan stopped his steps followed by Alika and the others, they stopped at a very beautiful place.

Right now they are on the edge of a beautiful lake. Throughout the eyes, there are clearly towering mountains, beautiful wildflowers, and a clean lake.

Alika was fascinated by the scenery she saw today. Alika who is still holding Aruna was walking around the edge of the lake, Ethan walking beside Alika they just quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery.

"Master this place is so beautiful" Alika.

"This place is still included in the Die Errama mansion area and is protected by a heavily guarded iron fence, if you're bored you can come here safely" Ethan.

"Yes sir..." Alica.

"Ma. ma mama haha mama" Aruna called Alika as mama made Alika and Ethan speechless and looked at each other.

Ethan smiled and clasped Alika's hand. The girl was stunned she was confused when she saw Ethan suddenly holding her hand so gently.

"Alika. I know this is too sudden because it's only a few days after we met, but I can't wait too long either.

Alika do you want to be my wife? being a mother to Aruna and giving birth to my son in the future?" Ethan spoke without hesitation.

Alika looked at Ethan in disbelief, in this situation Alika was confused because she was new to Ethan but on the other hand Alika had already loved Aruna and her heart was heavy to reject Ethan's proposal.

"Sir, give me time to think" Alika said softly and politely.

"Well, I'll give you some time until you're ready to answer me, and whatever your answer I'll take" Ethan smiled meaningfully.

They walked back along the edge of the lake and saw wild birds flying. Aruna looked very happy her eyes sparkled beautifully staring in all directions.

Alika and Ethan just keep quiet they are both equally trapped in their respective minds. Ethan stops walking and gazes towards the lake, Alika follows Ethan and stands beside him.

"By childhood my life story was horrible.I even hated my old self so much" Ethan said.

"Every human being has a past, you and I we all have a past, maybe my past is not as bad as yours but from the past we learn to be better" Sahut Alika while looking straight at the lake.

"I'm not mom and dad's son, I'm just an adopted son they adopted a few years ago and you had an older brother named Hendery

I call him by papi, and his wife by mami's call. After their son died they also died, papi and mami wrote a will and made me the sole heir of their family Die Errama.

I'm actually just an unwanted bastard. I was born to a rape tragedy that made my birth mother hate me so much" Ethan told me the outline of her past life.

Alika stared at Ethan, the beautiful woman could see the sadness in Ethan's eyes. Slowly, Alika's soft hand wiped away Ethan's tears.

"My past has had a lot of painful stories, I hate myself a lot in the past...

Everyone I loved left me even my friends left me they all died miserably

Aruna, she is not my real child, even though I love her very much, I cannot live without Aruna...

Aruna's parents died just a day after meeting me. They're my best friends" Ethan.

Alika smiled gently and wiped away Ethan's tears. Alika slowly brought Ethan to sit on the edge of the lake, Alika let Ethan put his head on Alika's boat.
