MATING CONTRACT

CHAPTER 34

" Maybe you love each other ...?"

Laura was surprised to hear that . " Why can you say that ..?" Ask riled up, this time probably can't hide his feelings .

" I can see it from your eyes ..." Answer Luna sure .

Laura took a deep breath . It feels inappropriate for him to tell his feelings because he might be talking to the wrong person . What if later will be angry , when know his true feelings , because of his current status as the future wife of Judah .

He remembered that time 3 months ago .. before he decided to return to America . Though previously he had full confidence will be able to reach the love that he had long harbored .. when he knew the heart of Judah had been empty, because of the departure of Kinan .

His confidence grew because he knew no other women were nearby . Coupled with the support of Aunty Karina, who even blatantly supported her if she could replace Kinan .

*****

" Aunty wants you to be Arya's wife ..." Said Aunty Karina at that time .

Instantly that happiness infiltrated his chest . Although he does not know how Judah feels about him, but at least there is aunty Karina who can bring them closer ...Yuda loved his mother very much and surely he would like to obey what he wanted .

" Aunty ..why suddenly think so ?"

" Yes ...Aunty thinks only you can accompany Arya, all this time she never wants to be close to anyone ...Aunty just wants Arya to have a whole family, all for Sasa's sake ."

Sasa..ia was indeed quite close to him, but did not know also if he could be close to the little girl .

" So Auntie hopes you can be close to Sasa, because only Sasa can determine someone who will accompany her Papa , at least that's what Arya told Auntie ..."

He sighed slowly . Well ...there is Sasa in the life of Judah .So if he wants to be a part of his life, there has to be a green light from Sasa and it's not easy .

For 1 month long ..he did try to approach Sasa and quite easy . Sasa looks happy when they are together , almost every day they meet and do activities both . That belief arises, he strongly believes Sasa will accept her as his new Papa companion, as well as being his Mama .

It was probably the happiest time of his life .

Until that hope is dashed ...

That afternoon he came to Yuda's house and accidentally heard the conversation of Aunt Karina and Sasa in the living room .

" Sasa wants to be with Mama ..." His whine , when telling of there are tourist activities in his school .

" Sasa's mother is gone ." Answer Karina .

" Oma says go on.Why not go home ?" Demand .

Karina sighed softly . " One day Sasa must have met Mama again yeah .." Rayntec .

" But when is Oma ?"

Karina just shut up .

" Sa ..if there is a new Mama for Sasa, does Sasa want ...?"

" What does Oma mean ?"

" If Sasa has a new Mama ..other than Mama Kinan ..."

" Who is Oma ?"

" Aunt Laura ."

" Why Aunt Laura ..?" Ask Sasa continue .

" Because Aunt Laura already knew Papa from childhood, so it could definitely be her good Mama Sasa ."

Sasa was silent while lowering his head .

" Sa, how are you quiet ?" Ask Karina .

Sasa looked at his oma ." I don't want to ..."

" Aren't you ?"

Sasa nodded ." I don't want Aunt Laura to be my Mama ..."

Those words seemed to pierce his heart, Sasa's refusal gave a hard slap to him .

No more hope it ..all is lost and again he must bury his feelings deeply .

*****

He sighed slowly .

Remembering that was very painful for him .

" Lura you're not papa ?"

Luna looked at him anxiously .

" Not really ." The answer is short .

" I'm sorry, if that question made you sad ..." It was bad .

Laura smiled ." No, I'm not sad ." Answer is rue .

Luna held her hand .

" Yes ..I did have that feeling ."

Luna was surprised .

" I did love Judah long before there was Kinan in his life ."

Luna took a deep breath, it turned out to be her conjecture .

" Did he know ?" Ask Luna .

Laura shakes .

" Why ?"

" I don't have the courage to do that, because anything can ruin our friendship later ." Answer is rue . His eyes began to glaze over .

Luna looked at him pity ." Laura ...but there's no harm in it. Who knows you have the same feelings ."

Laura nodded . " Everything is impossible Lun ..because Sasa clearly refused ..."

" I mean ?"

" Sasa doesn't want me to be his mother ." Definitely .

At 21:00

At home ...Arya takes the jacket, car keys ..then walks out the room .

" Where are you going ?" Ask Karina .

" Get out for a minute ."

" Where ?"

" The Queen Cafe ."

Karina was surprised to hear her . " Want to see Laura ?"

Arya nodded .

" Want to say something ..kan earlier Laura said she would take Luna home ."

" Mama kayak did not know Laura aja, said at 9 o'clock, but could have been there until midnight ..itukan cafe 24 hours ."

" Yes, papa, Laura was out of the house until midnight, too ." Karina Sela .

Arya looked at her mother ." Mama forgot who she came out with ?"

Karina shakes .

" What will Aunt Widya say if she finds out that Luna was invited out until midnight with Laura ?"

Without waiting for her Mama's answer, Arya rushed out .

Karina looked at him confusedly .
