Mom For Bhara

32: Baikan

"Alan?"

Yes, the one who knocked on the door was Alan. Different from before, Alan's gaze this time was not flat and cold anymore, the gaze was again soft and slightly... Spoons.

"Natasha, come with me for a second, I'll talk to you."

Natasha followed Alan who was walking in front of her. They also stopped on the balcony of the lounge at the end of the 2nd floor. Now, Alan has turned his body to face Natasya. However, the man remained lowered, still unwillingly looking into the eyes of the girl before him.

"I'm sorry..," said Alan, barely audible.

"Huh?"

Alan looked up to look Natasya in the eye, "i'm sorry, Natasya."

Natasya's heart felt like it was pinched when she saw Alan's teary eyes, she could see sincerity and sadness there. Then, the girl smiled softly.

"You don't have to apologize, Al. Because you don't have anything wrong with me, so there's nothing I need to apologize about you" Natasya said.

Hearing Natasya's words, Alan felt even more guilty.

"But I ruined our friendship by falling in love with you, Sya," Alan said.

"Our friendship remains the same, Al," Natasha replied in a soft tone, "love is not a mistake. With you falling in love with me, that doesn't mean our friendship ends."

Alan smiled knot. He is happy because Natasya is not angry with him because it has presented love in their friendship. As always, his best friend is a very nice person.

"I'm sorry, Al," said Natasya, his face now turning mellow.

"I can't react to your feelings" Natasya added, "because I'm now your sister-in-law."

Alan smiled wryly. Wanted to shy away from this harsh reality, but well... How else, inevitably, he must be able to accept this painful fact. The person she loves is now the wife of her brother.

"I'm not asking you to return my feelings, yes," Alan said.

"I just want us to be friends. It doesn't matter if I have to lose the person I love, as long as I don't lose my best friend" Adikusuma said.

Natasya smiled slightly with teary eyes. He knew that Alan must have been heartbroken. But she also can't do anything, Natasya is unlikely to reciprocate Alan's feelings when he has no more feelings for his best friend.

"If so, are we better now?" alan asked, pointing his little finger.

Natasya smiled, then linked her little finger to Alan's little finger.

"Yes dong, we are always friends" replied Natasya.

They both link the little finger as a sign of friendship. Alan looked at both of Natasya's eyes with a gentle look. Let him not get Natasha as his love, as long as the girl can always be his best friend.

"Mama?"

Bhara's voice calling Natasya made the two men turn their heads. Apparently, there was already a Bhara who was carried by his father, Johnathan.

Alan and Natasya instantly released the link of their little finger, both feeling tense right now. What if Johnathan has been there since and knows the fact that Alan likes Natasya. That would be a big deal.

But, it seemed like the worry of the two of them was not happening. Johnathan looked at the two of them alternately while smiling gently.

"So, you guys don't fight anymore?" ask Johnathan.

Alan and Natasya just nodded in disarray.

"Alan, I don't know what's going on between you and Natasya, but I'm glad that you guys are better. You are close friends, do not fight too long" said Johnathan gave advice to his brother.

"Eh, i-iya, sister," Alan replied, "i'm sorry for being so bad these past few days."

Inwardly, Alan was relieved that Johnathan was unaware of the fact that he liked Natasya.

Johnathan smiled slightly, "it's okay."

"Eh, yes. Why, Brother John?" answer Natasya.

"So Bhara woke up, kept coming straight to you, so I brought Bhara right here" said Johnathan.

Natasya turned her gaze towards Bhara. The child still looks sleepy and occasionally he will yawn. Then, Natasha approached her husband and son.

"Hi, this sweet mama's son has woken up, yes," Natasya told Bhara in a soft tone.

Later, Natasya takes over Bhara's body from Johnathan's sling. Bhara immediately drowned her head in the recess of Natasya's neck.

"Udah afternoon, son. Take a shower, yuk," take Natasya.

Bhara nodded her head slowly, "yes, Ma."

Afterwards, Natasya takes Bhara to her room. He planned to bathe the child in a private bathroom in his room.

Johnathan and Alan looked at Natasya's back who was walking away from them. Then, Johnathan turned to look at Alan.

"Al," called Johnathan and made Alan look at him, "later apologize to mom and dad, yeah. They're worried about your change of attitude all along."

Alan smiled wryly, "yes, Brother. I'll apologize to them."

"Round round round round, round round round, round round round, oh oh, round round~"

"Hihi~ mom funny."

Bhara giggled in amusement as she watched her mother sing a toothbrush song from her favorite cartoon, upin ipin. (That does not know the song 'round round' above, can check in yt : 'toothbrush song' xixi)

"If the toothbrush must be clean so that the teeth are not hollow" Natasya said.

Now they're brushing their teeth together in front of the bathroom sink. Natasya brushed her teeth as usual, while Bhara climbed on a small chair to reach the sink higher than her small body.

Bhara imitates everything Natasya does. Starting from the movement of brushing your teeth, to gargling. After finishing, Natasya lifted Bhara's body to the edge of the bathtub.

"His hands go up first yuk, honey," Natasya said.

Bhara complied and raised his hand. Natasya also began to take off all the clothes of the boy. Then, Bhara went directly into the bathtub whose water temperature was set by Natasya to fit.

"Where are my ducks?" ask Bhara.

"Oh yes, my mother forgot. Wait a minute, honey."

Afterwards, Natasya rushes off to pick up Bhara's rubber duck toy which she still keeps in the bag. The yellow ducks are the same ones Natasya bought when Bhara lived in her house.

Not long after, Natasya returned to the bathroom carrying a rubber duck. Finally, Bhara took a bath accompanied by her duck friends.

Such was Bhara's first shower in her new home, the show went smoothly. The 3-year-old child was able to brush his teeth and wash his own face, but if to take a shower, still need help from his beloved mother.

By the way, Bhara's birth certificate has been made. His date of birth was written the date the boy was found at the airport. And for his year was three years ago, so the age of the child is now officially said to be 3 years.
