Marrying the Father of My Foster Son

"Mas Ghani, I'm Home."

The flower garden extends as far as the eye can see. A few pairs of butterflies fly and then alight on the flower buds that are blooming. The clear sky with white clouds, the breeze of the wind blew the branches of trees, causing melodious friction like beautiful melodies.

A woman was sitting on a boulder on the edge of the lake, looking straight ahead by laying her legs up to the other. A smile adorned her beautiful face.

The sound of footsteps approached, making the young lady turn her head then the smile on her languid lips grew wider when she saw someone walking towards her. Very carefully the woman came down and then splashed in her arms.

"Mama, Shasha is very much the same Mama. Why haven't you seen me in a dream lately? Does your mom not love me anymore?" The young woman who called herself Shasha said spoiled as she wrapped her hands around her waist. He poured out his longing on the woman who had given birth to him into the world.

"Basic stupid! How can you say that to your own mother." Daniah, Queensha's late mother stuck her forehead on the princess's forehead while swiping the tip of their nose. "Mama is the one who gave birth to you with great difficulty, risking your life so that you can be born into the world so that maybe you don't miss my own flesh and blood."

Queensha rubbed his body on the body of the mother. "Shasha thought Mama no longer loved me, so she never saw me again."

"Ma, the view here is beautiful. The air is cool and so soothing. Shasha lives here. Let's hear you hear, the birds chirping on the tree branch sounds so melodious."

Daniah followed where her daughter looked. When her eyeballs saw a flock of sparrows perched on a tree branch, she nodded her head, agreeing with Queensha that the chirping of birds up there was very melodious.

"Inside is more beautiful, son. I'm sure if you see it, you'll be amazed. There are a lot of various flowers with various colors, deer that run to and fro, and you can bathe under the waterfall until satisfied," said Daniah looking at her heart.

"really? Can you please take me there? I'd love to see it." Queensha said with bright sparkling eyes.

Daniah led her daughter to sit on a boulder on the edge of the lake. Taking place next to Queensha. "Sorry, but you can't go there, honey. That place is not meant for you. That place is only devoted to mama and Papa."

Queensha. His brain thought hard why Daniah did not take him away, seeing the beautiful natural scenery inside. Didn't Daniah know that he likes the atmosphere of the outdoors from childhood.

"Mama would love to show it to you, but now is not the right time for you to go with your mom. There are a lot of people out there waiting for you to come home. Ghani and Aurora, they're both waiting for you, son."

"Ghani? The aurora? Who are they, Ma?" ask Queensha.

Both names sound familiar, but Queensha cannot remember who the two names her mother mentioned just now.

"Suami and your first child. Look at the other end, that oriental-faced man is your husband, Ghani. He is the man you love and also love you sincerely. A man who is willing to give everything for your happiness" replied Daniah. Fingers pointed towards the end of the lake. The sighting of Ghani sitting on the bedside chair of the patient was clearly visible to Queensha.

When she saw tears welling her cheeks, Queensha's heart felt like it had been pinched by thousands of invisible hands. Pain to make his chest feel tight. He could feel the deep sadness of the pair of beautiful eyes that were now turning red.

"So ..he's the prince that Mama used to tell me about when I was a kid? The white riding prince who will love me, look after me, and protect me with all his soul and body?" queensha's toilet confirmed back to the fairy tale that Daniah often read before she went to bed.

Daniah pinched both cheeks of Queensha with anxiety. "really. Ghani doesn't have a white horse, but he does have a white snelli that he wears every time he works."

Queensha whines like a child. Daniah can joke when he is serious.

"Oh, Mama. Why even tease me."

"He he he, yes sorry. Mom was just kidding. But for the talk of mama who says that Ghani the man who loves you is right. Besides mom and dad, he has people who love you. If you go inside, then what about Ghani and Aurora. Would you leave them both? Are you separated from those who love you so much?"

"Sha, my mom really misses you and wants to be around you all the time, but she doesn't want you to stay here. This isn't the right place for you, son. The place that suits you is by Ghani's side, not by Mama's or Papa's side. Come back, son. Go back to your husband's side."

"If I go back to that guy's side, then what about Mama? Mama must be lonely living here." Little heart wanted to go back to Ghani's side, but on the one hand, she could not bear to leave her mother alone. He's too comfortable being near Daniah.

Daniah's hand caressed Queensha's cheek. A soft voice sounded melodious in Queensha's ears. "Mama's lonely, but I think you're too selfish to ask you to stay here with me while there's someone who needs you more. Ghani and Aurora need you more than mama."

"But, Ma, I-I"

"Nothing but, you must immediately return to your husband's side. If you really miss mama, you can visit the tomb of mama, offering prayers to God every time you finish worshiping. With the prayer you offer can be a cure for your own longing."

Daniah turned her gaze to the three tiny figures at the end of the lake. His third hand waved, as if asking Queensha to come over.

Her third face was covered with a veil, but Queensha could see clearly that the three figures were male. All three are beautiful, similar to Ghani.

"Your three heroes have already picked you up. Hurry home because that's where you're supposed to be. Here you will always wait, until you arrive where God predestines us both to live together."

Daniah brought Queensha's head closer to her lips. He kissed the favorite princess' forehead with reverence. "Mama always loves you, Shasha."

One of the twins came closer. The youngest owner of the tiny lips like his mother reached out to the front while saying, "Come, Mama, we're out of here. Papa and Rora's brother wait for us to be there." The sound of a lisp rang out in Queensha's ears.

As hypnotized, Queensha received the helping hand. Grasping the little fingers of the prince then came down from the rock and set foot on the green grass. Queensha turned to her mother before leaving the place.

Both eyes are grimacing. Then Daniah nodded slowly, taking off Queensha's departure with a chest of air.

"Return, for there is your world. Mama will always pray that God will bring happiness to you and your little family."

The youngest and her two brothers waved their hands at Daniah. Smiling so much that he showed a row of toothless.

"Drug of Grandma Daniah. Telima kacih already take care of Mama," said the three almost simultaneously.

Queensha and her three sons walked side by side. Three of his little heroes Ghani looks happy, occasionally jumping up and down while chanting a song that Queensha often sings while relaxing, sitting on a rocking chair while rubbing her distended stomach.

The closer to the end of the flower garden, Queensha's pair of eyes grew glare at the dazzling bright light, making her reflexively close her eyes that very second. However, the bright light did not stop the swing of his feet that continued to step up to approach the silver curtain.

Queensha's eyes continued to close until she and her three twins broke through the curtain.

"Mas Ghani, I'm home."
