Marrying the Father of My Foster Son

The more Protective

"Mbak Queensha, the chicken that's been revealed wants to be cooked right now?" Bik Anah asked while carrying a large basin containing pieces of state chicken that had been given yellow seasoning so that the fishy aroma disappeared.

Queensha who was ironing her husband's work clothes turned briefly to the source of the voice. Then the eyes turned to the piece of chicken meat in front of it.

"Just fry it, Bik. It just so happens that Mas Ghani will be home soon. If it's fried suddenly, he's afraid not to go hunting because I'm afraid that Rora's father is hungry, but the side dishes are not ripe, pity if you have to wait again. Usually come home from work on an empty stomach, uh even have to wait. Surely his mood will fall apart because it does not rush to fill his stomach."

Bik Anah nodded and smiled at the answer of her female master. Queensha was very considerate of Ghani even though the man had made a big mistake, but the woman was so sincere in serving her husband wholeheartedly.

"Yes, fried auntie now."

The middle-aged woman turned her back to the kitchen. However, his footsteps stopped when he heard Queensha interrupting.

"Bik, wait! The cut of his lower thighs was fried all, yes. Rora likes fried thighs better than the rest. I don't want him sulking because he can't enjoy one of his favorite foods."

Again and again make me smile. In addition to attention to Ghani, Queensha apparently also attention to the adopted son of the husband. Bik Anah, the workers at the residence of Wijaya Kusuma or people outside there think that Aurora is only Ghani's adopted child. They do not know if actually the little girl with round eyes is the biological child of Ghani who was born due to love one night with the woman who is now the second daughter-in-law of the couple Arumi and Rayyan.

Meanwhile, Aurora was playing cooking in the same room as her mother. The girl who is now six years old and wants to enter Primary School (SD) is so engrossed with her toys.

"Mama wants Rora to do what? Eggs clamp or fried fish" cried Aurora while showing whole eggs and toy fish in front of Queensha. His clear eyeballs shimmered, waiting for his beloved mother's answer so patiently.

Queensha gave her sweetest smile to a sweet child like Aurora. "May you ask me to make her cow's eye eggs, honey? It just so happens that mom wants to eat eggs."

The little girl nodded quickly and said with great enthusiasm. "certain. Wait a minute, Rora made her eggs for Mama and Dedek baby."

The smile grew wider on Queensha's lips. Feeling grateful because she could see the growth and development of Aurora and take care of her own daughter after the suffering she had experienced so far.

On the other hand, Ghani has just parked his luxury car in the basement parking lot. He got out of the car, then opened the trunk of the car to pick up two bags of paper bags as well as a pack of shopping bags filled with fresh fruits for Queensha. He did not want his wife and three prospective children in Queensha womb lacking nutrition.

"In this way, I can still be fair to Rora, Queensha and my future children who are still in my wife's womb. Rora got a present, and so did my wife and my three heroes." For some reason, Ghani was so sure if the child in Queensha womb was male. Though the sex of the baby in the womb of a new woman will be seen at the age of the womb entering the 18th to 20th week.

"Assalamu a'laikum" Ghani said as he entered his palace. A second most comfortable place after the home of his parents.

"Wa'alaikum salam" replied Bik Anah who was in the kitchen at the time. Incidentally the kitchen in Ghani's apartment unit there is no separation barrier, left open so that people in the kitchen can see clearly who is entering the beautiful palace.

"Bik, where are my wife and children? Why are they not in the living room. Are they going to the mini market below?" ask Ghani.

Bik Anah walked up to Ghani, then reached out and picked up a piece of plastic containing fresh fruits. "No, Den. Mpa Queensha and Neng Rora are in the laundry room. They-"

"Why Bibik let my wife take care of the housework! Auntie, you know that Queensha is currently pregnant, but why is she left to do the hard work. Bibik should be prevented, not just left alone. If Queensha is tired and the baby is in the womb why, how? Does your aunt want responsibility?"

"Whatever the reason, Auntie must not let my wife work hard! This is the first and last warning. If later I hear Queensha doing housework, I'm willing to end our contract!" ghani said firmly. For Queensha or Aurora, he never messes around. What he said he would do that very second.

Bik Anah just bowed, admitting her mistake. She was guilty of not preventing Queensha from doing housework.

"Queensha!" call Ghani. The look on his face showed clearly how upset he was, seeing the wife was folding clothes that had just been ironed.

"Papa's home yet? Rora is very close to Papa." Aurora got up, then spread out her arms and hugged the legs of the papa. The long haired little girl vented her longing for dear papa.

Queensha reflexes turned back when he heard his name called, followed by Aurora who ran fast towards Ghani.

Ghani rubbed the top of Aurora's head using a hand she had previously sanitized before entering the apartment. Gently though the look of her eyes restrained her frustration towards Queensha, she did not want to show that annoyance to Aurora.

"Darling, could you leave me and Mom alone? Papa wants to talk to Mama without bothering anyone."

Head looked up. Ghani looked at him with a confused look. However, he immediately nodded despite not knowing the problems of adults.

After making sure Aurora was not around, Ghani immediately closed the door so that the noise in the room was not heard by his first daughter.

"Mas, what's wrong with you? You look really upset. What's up?" Queensha cupped Ghani's face, stroking the man's jaw while playing with fine feathers around the cheeks.

"How not to be upset, you never want to hear what I say. I'm asking you, why can you do housework when there is Bik Anah in this house. We hire him to take care of all the household affairs, Sha. If you keep working, then what's his job here?"

Ghani starts to say what pisses him off half to death. Many times reminded, but it turns out Queensha did not hear his words.

Queensha, who is getting used to Ghani's attitude, sometimes unable to control her emotions, can only smile at her husband. Behind Ghani's anger, there is a sense of anxiety in the man and he can understand him.

"All housework is his duty Bik Anah, Mas. I know it. However, do I have to stand by and let him do it alone while I can help ease his work? After all, I just ironed your work shirt for five pieces and it didn't make me tired. If you don't believe me, you can see it for yourself."

Queensha looked at the basket of clothes on the table. In front there are five sets of Ghani's work clothes that have been ironed neatly. Not only clean, neat, but also fragrant.

Ghani followed where his wife's views were headed. Little heart regretted his actions for speaking harshly to Bik Anah. However, his ego is too high to admit his mistakes.

One thought Queensha was centering on a large number of clothes, but it turned out to be only five sets of clothes and it was all hers. Aah, Ghani should not immediately scold the housekeeper before crossing the check first.

"But still, you can't work too tired, Sha. Although you feel sorry, but it is no longer your duty to take care of this house. Your job now is to sit sweet, eat healthy and nutritious food, drink pregnant milk and not forget to be happy. There's only six months left, anyway, so just hang on to not do any housework."

"All right, all right, I get it. Next time I will be more careful. No, don't be angry anymore. I'm not arguing with you, Mom. I'm tired, so tired. Can we reconcile and forget about this?" ask Queensha. She was not in the mood to argue with her husband.

Seeing the tired face of Queensha, Ghani could not bear to continue to scold his wife. He finally relented and assumed that nothing had happened between the two of them.

***

After dinner, Queensha asks Ghani for permission to accompany their daughter to study. Ghani allowed his wife to leave, while he still faithfully sat sweetly in front of the television, watching the live-action One Piece series on one of the streaming apps. The series is a pity to miss for anime lovers like Ghani.

However, as Ghani sipped on Queensha's test lemon ice, the doorbell rang making his focus split in two. "Who's been visiting these nights? Does he know I'm resting?" gerutu Ghani's. However, the man kept walking near the door to find out who had come to visit his house while he was resting.

Ghani peeked out of a small hole in the door of his apartment unit, checking first before opening the door to his residence.

Ghani glared as her pair of eyes saw the mother of her best friend standing gracefully across. Mumbled softly, "Why did Aunt Ayu come here? Tumben met me personally. Did something bad happen to Leon?"

Imagining something happening to his best friend, Ghani immediately opened the door to open wide, making Ayu maam who was watching the situation around the apartment immediately turned her head when she heard the creak of the door opened by someone.

"Ghani?" said Bu Ayu lirih.
