Marrying the Father of My Foster Son

Prayer and Hope, Ma Ayu

Getting out of the car, Leon immediately ran into the house. He did not even pay attention to the position of his car that blocked the road into the main door of his parents' residence. Today there is more important than parking his four-wheeled vehicle into a car garage.

"Mama!" Leon shouted in a high tone of voice, making the housekeeper who helped Ms. Ayu take care of the squeaky house shocked. The woman almost fell down the stairs of the almunium if she did not immediately hold on to the edge of the stairs.

The middle-aged woman's heart was pounding so fast that it felt like it was going to be dislodged. "Thank God for still giving me a chance to live, otherwise I would have been rushed to the hospital by hitting the floor so hard."

Just finished saying, Leon has arrived at the family room. There he found the mother's housekeeper holding on to the edge of the almunium stairs. On his shoulder there is a piece of cloth and a feather duster in the narrow in the armpit. It seems that the woman is cleaning the picture figura from the dust that is pulled on the frame.

"Sir, is Mama home yet?" ask Leon to the point. Do not want to waste time because they want to immediately finish their business with Ayu ma'am.

Still with the remains of shock, the middle-aged woman who had long devoted herself in the residence of Leon's parents replied, "Bu Ayu is in the room. About thirty minutes ago just got home."

Look at Leon's question mark. "Den Leon didn't want to go to work and then why go home again. Is there anything left behind?"

"I need to be the same Mama, Bik. Already, I'm going upstairs first. Bibik continued to work."

Leon ran towards the stairs that would take him to the second floor. Climb two stairs at once to quickly get to the top floor.

When he arrived at the door of Ayu's room, Leon knocked on the door, but there was no word from inside the room. "Mama, open the door! I'm gonna say, important!" wash the man. But still no response at all.

Leon who was already upset and curious about what was discussed between his mother and Lulu, turned the door handle until it was wide open. The man looked for the whereabouts of the mother in the walk in closet or bathroom, did not find the figure of the mother.

"Mama must be on the balcony. I have to go there now!" Then Leon went out of the room. Close the door of her mother's room tightly and then walk towards the balcony terrace on the second floor.

Sure enough, Ayu mom was sitting relaxed while enjoying the view of the artificial lake behind her house. The lake was deliberately made by the developer as a facility for the residents of the complex.

"Mama?"

The call diverted Ayu's attention from a group of people who were practicing yoga. Reflexes looked back and saw his son standing firm with frightening eyes.

"What's wrong? Why look at my mom so sharp. Did you make a mistake that made you angry?" asked Bu Ayu pretending not to know the meaning of those eyes.

Leon approached and stood next to his mother. "Did Mama go see Lulu? How did Mama know where she worked? Did you ask someone to find information about the girl?" scatter without pause. He was really afraid that Bu Ayu would do something silly that would hurt Lulu.

Bu Ayu sighed harshly. Suppose that Leon did not inquire in detail about the purpose of his arrival to the restaurant to Lulu. If asked clearly, it is impossible for Leon to turn into an impromptu paparazzi who are looking for information from reliable sources.

The mother of two children turned her back, walked without looking at the prince and then sat on a lounge chair made of rattan that was deliberately placed to relax while enjoying the beautiful scenery of an artificial lake.

"Right, mama went to see Lulu. Mama met him on purpose after getting all the information about the girl. Mama meant to come to work because she wanted to make sure if you and her had a special relationship. Because you got a photo that shows you eating with a girl at a restaurant. The time of the incident is right when you say you go out of the house when you want a weekly night. Out of curiosity, mama asked someone to investigate the girl who was close to you," said Bu Ayu honestly.

Leon took a seat next to his mother, prepared to open his voice and asked Ayu a lot of questions.

"Why Mama always takes care of my personal affairs. Why don't you take care of me, Papa. Think of the food menu to welcome his return rather than busy mengepoin his own son's relationship. Ma, I don't want Lulu hurt by what Mama said."

"Why heartache? Mom didn't say anything, anyway. Mama just wants to know how she feels about you, that's all."

"Then, Lulu answered, how?" ask Leon curious. This information caught his attention.

"He has no feelings for you. However, from the words that are said and how he praises you, feeling mama says it seems like she has the same taste as you even if only this." Bu Ayu pointed the tip of her little finger in front of Leon. "But mama is sure, the longer the feeling will increase. As long as you continue to nurture it continuously."

Leon sneered. "A plant-like thing must be nurtured by all."

Unexpectedly, Ayu threw a punch to the prince's arm. "Dikasih know ngeyel's parents. This mama is giving you a message, Yon, listen carefully."

Then mom Ayu put on a serious face, making Leon not so complaining even though the blow was painful.

"In a relationship, fostering love is mandatory because if it does not then the feeling will fade by itself. What do you think, the household of mama and papa can last until now because what, try? It's all because we nurtured a love in each other's hearts to stay together even though our marriage has been running for almost 37 years."

"If you ask in what way we cultivate it then the answer is to go alone somewhere or give a small surprise to the couple as a form of our affection for each. Well, mama wants you to use the tips that we use to foster a sense in Lulu's heart so that she likes you more. Mama guarantees, sooner or later he will be klepek with you."

"Mama .. don't mind if I get close to her?" Leon asked with a slight hesitation. The look in his eyes seemed to show disbelief if the mother actually gave tips and tricks to increase the level of love in someone.

This time Ayu's mother confused herself to hear the words of her son. "Disclosure why? Mama's feelings, there is no evil in the girl that makes you have to reject the closeness of the two of you."

Bu Ayu paused for a moment. Then looked fixedly at Leon's brown iris eye. "Mama knows a little about the girl, including about her past. Even though you don't know what the past is, you can accept it all because in this world there is no one who lives without a past."

"Although the girl's past is quite dark, my mother tried to accept it. What matters is that you're happy to be by her side."

Bu Ayu smiled widely, revealing a row of white and neat teeth. "Mama has been very hard at educating you. It's not uncommon to hit, punch, and treat you like a child, but mama loves you very much, son. Mama wants you to be happy, live with someone you love and love you sincerely."

Leon's stunned. Just this time saw Ayu ma'am so sincere with her words. The tall and nosed man felt touched by the attention given by the mother.

As if getting someone's encouragement, Leon stood up and bent his body slightly and hugged the body of the mother from next door. "Thank you for being so attentive to me. I thought Mama would scold Lulu because she's from a less capable family."

Bu Ayu chuckled. His hands patted the arm that was coiled around the body. "Bad kid. Where might mama scold people's girls. Mama has a daughter and if anyone scolds your sister, Leony, she'll be furious. And so was Lulu's mother. He must have scolded Mama back for not accepting her favorite daughter being scolded for no reason."

"Yon, mama likes Lulu and mama wishes her to be the daughter-in-law in this family. If you put your heart on him, please go after him and make him your companion. Lulu is a kind, polite, and independent girl that is well worth fighting for. So, keep chasing him. Show your love and affection to him. Mama pray, may God match you both."

Leon tightened his embrace. The heavy hand was wrapped around the top of the mother's body. He gave a kiss of love on the cheek of his beloved mother.

"Leon loves Mama" said Leon in a powerful voice resembling a five-year-old child. He often mentioned his own name while talking to his parents. Not using my word or mine.
