I Married My Raise Child

Doubts.

Tonight Alika is preparing dinner dishes. Alika cooks her children's favorite food she also buys some fruit to serve.

While preparing the plate Hans just came home and he came along with Beca. Alika welcomed their arrival with a smile and invited them to dinner together. Alika also called Rio and Jingmi to join them.

"Take this you look thin since entering the kulian" Rio said as he placed a large slice of beef on Jingmi's plate.

"Rio you eat too..." Alika said as she picked up the empty Rio plate and exchanged it for another plate that was already filled with plenty of food.

Hans looked at Alika with a different gaze than usual. Beca tried to get Hans to talk but Hans just focused on looking at Alika who was eating her dinner.

Beca realized that Hans's eyes were only fixed on Alika.

"Mrs Alika" Beca said.

"Yes" Sahut Alika with his leisure.

"Mrs, do you intend to remarry?" Beca asked that instantly made Alika flinch.

"This question of yours is very disrespectful" Rio rebuked Beca.

"Sorry what made you ask that?" Alika with formal.

"I feel if your closeness with your adopted children has exceeded the limit is not it good if you remarry and separate from them" Beca said without guilt.

"I don't think you have the right to say that at all because it's a family dinner that's supposed to be peaceful" Jingmi defended Alika.

"But is it not good for a widow to live in a house with three men whose age is not much different from her? Wouldn't a lot of people question your self-esteem, ma'am?" Beca said back to corner Alika.

Alika then put down her tools and looked at Beca with a cynical look.

"Nobody has the right to ask me about my self-worth, Because I have a reason why I chose to stay with them you may be too young to understand but you need to know my self-worth is always the thing that even my father and myself have never dared to ask.

You see I live with these three young men but you never know what I've been through to be with them until now." Said Alika while holding back her anger.

"Mrs you don't have to be angry.I just ask again see from your attitude I would be hard to believe if you still keep your chastity since separated from your ex-husband"

"Shut your mouth!" Snatch Hans to Beca.

"Your own father never dared to say such a thing to our mother" Jingmi said angrily.

"You are very brave to doubt our mother's self-esteem, it looks like you have to learn how to appreciate older people" Rio said as he walked towards Alika.

"How can you doubt the self-esteem of a married person but still keep his sanctity for the one he loves and still choose yourself when the one he loves is gone! I can't believe you'll be that loyal to me when I'm dead! She is a woman who affectionately looks after and takes care of us even though she knows it is difficult.

He lost his love in front of his own eyes but until now he is still loyal without ever thinking of learning to love others! You are the first one who dares to ask about his holiness! Everyone always praised him for his loyal love and you were presumptuous to have said things you shouldn't have said!" Hans scolded Beca.

Alika left the dining table without saying a word. She goes into her room and locks herself in there, Alika sits on her bed and sees a photo of her being with Dean and Johan.

Alika grabbed the photo and looked at him with a smile. "Today for the first time in a long time there is a man who doubts my loyalty to love, she never knew that I was the woman who had lost my trusted husband and also my stepdaughter who was my first and last love in a form of sacrifice" Alika said in her heart while hugging the old photo.

Beca was still sitting in the dining room with trembling hands. Hans left the room Rio deliberately dropped the glass and left with Jingmi.

They all headed to Alika's room and knocked on her bedroom door. They try to talk to her but Alika refuses to ask them all to go rest.

Beca left Alika's house feeling angry and embarrassed. He was upset that Hans was defending Alika and humiliating her before his family, when he arrived at Beca's house to complain to his father.

"Recher!" beca's father yelled at his son.

"How dare you ask such a thing to an inappropriate person! She is a woman who has been an example of all circles old, young, wife, and widows always praise her she is a woman who has heart and determination in her.

And you very boldly said that?! To an Alika?! You?!. This is all my fault.

I spoiled you so much that I forgot to teach you how to respect others" Beca's father said.

"Dad but she's just Hans' adoptive mother, but Hans looks at her lovingly! I'm jealous dad!" Speak Beca in a high tone.

"Stupid! Just so you know if Alika was not there to save those three young men then maybe today you will never be able to meet Hans! Do you know how he fought alone to save his three adopted children?! She's a great woman, you'll never know what the story of the fight looks like, I am a friend of her ex-husband I know all the stories about Alika you have no right to insult her because everything we do to help Alika and her family is not enough compared to what what he's done to help our family in the past" said Beca's father who then left her alone in the guest room.

The night is getting late Alika then walked to the backyard of her house. Alika sat down in the long chair that was in that place and looked up at the sky that was enveloped in cloudiness. Alika then moved and walked towards her beloved sunflower.

"Dean... have you forgotten me? I'm still here loving you and living in our memories, I've never forgotten you not for a moment. That girl has reminded me of my past mistakes she may not know anything about me but doubting me is a mistake...

Dean I don't want any more farewells between me and these three kids. Please, you can understand... someday I will definitely meet you and when we meet I will tell you proudly if I have succeeded in raising and maintaining your precious treasure" Alika said in her heart while shedding tears.
