Mom For Bhara

6: Grandpa

Natasya is already sitting opposite a police officer she just knew named Bu Nia, while Bhara is playing in the lobby of the police station.

"So, how's Natasya?" tanya Bu Nia started the conversation.

Natasya also opened her phone and looked for some bruised photos on Bhara's body. Ms. Nia who saw the photos immediately grimaced.

"Gosh, there are so many bruises, there are some scratches on his back and chest as well" Bu Nia murmured as she observed the photos on Natasya's phone.

Natasya nodded slowly, "I can't imagine how much pain Bhara would have felt when he got these injuries. Please, Miss Nia, we need to find Bhara's parents soon. And ascertain who the perpetrators of this KDRT really are."

"We're still trying to figure out the whereabouts of Bhara's parents, Natasya. But it's very difficult to track it," said Ms Nia, "may I ask for the photos as evidence?"

"Of course," replied Natasha, then he sent the photos to Ms. Nia.

"Thank you, Natasya" said Ms. Nia.

Natasya nodded with a smile, "in that case, I'll excuse you, ma'am."

"Oh, fine, brother. Later if there is any development in the search, I will tell Kak Natasya as soon as possible," said Bu Nia.

After that, Natasya said goodbye to the police who were there. Then, he went out to meet Alan and Bhara who were still fun playing together. Bhara who saw Natasha come out immediately ran to his mother.

"Mama!" yelled Bhara while hugging Natasha's feet.

Natasya just smiled, then raised Bhara for her to carry.

"Why do you like Bhara? Is it heavy?" ask Alan.

"No," said Natasha, then pinch Bhara's nose, "this little kid is not heavy at all."

"Hihi~" Bhara giggled as her nose was pinched in an agitation by Natasya.

"Huh~ Bhara has to eat a lot, yes, to make it big quickly" Alan told Bhara.

"Okey!!" exclaims Bhara while showing her thumb.

Natasya and Alan laugh with glee at Bhara's playful behavior. After that, they got out of the police station and went back to their homes.

...----------------...

Tonight, Natasha is busy with her job as Hendry's assistant, which is to arrange a schedule to meet clients for the next week, sorting emails for Hendry, and so on. Meanwhile, Bhara, the boy looks fun playing in a mattress with some toys bought by Natasya this afternoon.

"Mama~" whined Bhara while tugging at Natasya's feet.

Natasha looked over, "yes? Why, Honey?"

"Bhala is sleepy" Bhara said, rubbing his eyes and yawning occasionally.

Natasya glanced towards the wall clock that still showed at 8 p.m. It was too early for him to sleep, but not for Bhara, the boy needed to go to bed early. Therefore, Natasya chose to leave her job for a while.

"Wait here for a while, Mom, clean up your toys" Natasya said.

Bhara just nodded, then Natasya began to clean the Bhara toy that was on the mattress. After everything was clean, he immediately asked Bhara to go up and lie down on the bed.

"Mama, take a hug" said Bhara.

Natasya chuckles, "duh~ spoiled once anyway mama's son."

Later, he lies down beside Bhara while hugging the boy. Likewise with Bhara, he immediately slept sideways while hugging Natasya tightly. Natasya smilingly watched Bhara's calm face with closed eyes, she stroked the head of the boy.

"You're so funny, Bhara, '" Natasya murmured.

With her eyes still closed, Bhara's smile expands in her sleep. The boy also tightened his arms to Natasya. After making sure Bhara had slept well, Natasya got out of bed and went back to work. Tomorrow was Sunday, but he had to go to the airport early in the morning to pick up Hendry.

...----------------...

Since getting out of the car, Bhara always asked to remain in Natasya's arms. Now they are at the airport, the same airport where Natasya and Bhara met for the first time.

"Bhara, go down first yuk, mama is tired of carrying Bhara continues," said Natasya.

Bhara shook her head, "don't want to, mama will stayin Bhala chendili here."

Natasya let out a long sigh, "mama will not leave you, Bhara. Get down first, will you? Mama will hold your hand, promise."

Bhara still shook her head, then drowned her face in the niche of Natasya's neck. The girl could only snort tiredly. He knows that Bhara may have been traumatized by the incident he left at the airport a few days ago, but now his body feels sore because it continues to hold Bhara while waiting for Hendry's arrival.

Not long after, Natasya developed her smile. He could see Hendry was walking out of the department (arrival) area.

"Bhara, let's wave to Mr. Hendry" Natasya said as she moved Bhara's hand to wave at Hendry.

Hendry who saw it smiled and returned the wave of the hand. He already knew about Bhara who is now being taken care of temporarily by Natasya.

"Welcome, Mr. Hendry," said Natasya when Hendry was in front of him.

"Thank you for picking me up, Natasha" said Hendry.

"Of course, sir. This has become my duty" Natasya replied.

Hendry smiled, then turned his gaze to Bhara who had been staring at him with an innocent look.

"Oh! Hi, Bhara!"

Bhara just kept quiet while biting her lips. Not that he was afraid of Hendry, only he was confused how to return the greeting.

"Bhara, this is Mr. Hendry, my mother's teacher" Natasya said.

"H-Halo Pak Hendeli," said Bhara who had difficulty pronouncing the name 'Hendry'.

Natasya and Hendry who heard it laughed.

"Don't call 'sir' dong, you'll be like my other students" quipped Hendry.

"Oh, or do you just want to be called Om Hendry?" asked Natasya with a mischievous smile.

Hendry chuckled, "hahaha... What age do you think I am, Natasya? I don't deserve to be called 'om', I deserve to be called 'grandfather'."

"Yeah... Kok 'grandpa' anyway, sir. You are not that old, you know," said Natasya.

"Grandfather?"

"Eh?"

Natasya and Hendry turned to Bhara who had just called Hendry 'grandfather'.

"Eh, Bhara, don't call Mr. Hendry 'grandfather', yes," Natasya said awkwardly, he was worried that Hendry would be offended.

However, the opposite happened, Hendry smiled gently while looking at Bhara.

"Okay, you've decided. From now on, just call me 'grandfather'."

Natasha was just hanging on with what happened. Actually, he was still not good when Bhara called his lecturer with the name 'grandfather'. Although the age of Hendry has reached 52 years, but according to Natasya, the lecturer was still too fit to be called 'grandfather'. But what can be done, Hendry himself looks happy when called like that.
