Mom is Similar to My Son

53. The Courage of a Mother

Alina began to soften hearing Arfan's curses. Actually, he himself lives in the big house of his parents. But because of Alina's simplicity, she just wants to stay alone and rent a house near the hospital where she works.

With a stifled voice Arfan said that the big house he lived in, for him only a dwelling, was not worthy to be called a house.

"The big house is just a dwelling, not worth mentioning a house. I have Ivan, but I'm a bad father. I can't give the whole family for her."

"Don't say that, I feel you've been kind enough to Ivan."

But suddenly their togetherness is cut short quickly when Arfan gets a call telling Ivan a fever. Because Arfan was mostly drinking earlier, so Alina decided to come along and take him to the hospital.

Both of his assistants accompanied Ivan in the hospital. Arfan tried to persuade Ivan to take medicine, but Ivan insisted on refusing. Arfan even tried to threaten him, but Ivan kept turning his back.

Alina who finally had to act persuaded him by giving whispering advice to Arfan to pretend to be a sick dinosaur as well and take his medicine to recover quickly. Arfan was forced to comply, pretending to take his medicine and making his two assistants amused to see him. But the way it was successful made Ivan want to also take his medicine.

Ivan calmed down when Arfan returned shortly afterwards with a coffee for the two of them. But Alina immediately nagged him because he was her father, instead of knowing Ivan had a fever since this morning.

Arfan admitted that he had an important meeting, so he left earlier than usual. Usually if the conditions were possible, he would take Ivan to the office with him. But more often, he was alone at home.

He did not want to talk and did not want to relate to strangers for many years. Alina was the first to make Ivan so dependent.

It was late at night, so Arfan told the driver to drive Alina home. But Ivan suddenly clasped his hand tightly and gave him two lollipops and invited him to lie down next to him.

"Ivan never shared his food with anyone else. He never let anyone sleep with him." Arfan.

If so, Alina decided to accompany and look after Ivan tonight. Ivan was happy.

***

Ivan was still asleep when Alina woke up the next day and found herself covered in Arfan's suit. Alina regretted promising Ivan to obey whatever Ivan wanted. Until yesterday, it made it very troublesome because apparently Arfan took a marriage seriously.

He wants to escape but instead hits Arfan who suddenly orders Alina to move into their house starting tonight. Alina refused to move, after all her words at that time were just kidding.

"Yesterday night Ivan showed his trust in you. If you're just kidding, then tell Ivan yourself that you don't want to be his mother."

"Alright, I'm not Ivan's real mother anyway." Relax Alina and leave.

Alina was really upset right now, not knowing how to tell Ivan. He couldn't have been straightforward given Ivan's condition had just stabilized. If so, he could have Arfan think of his own way out.

But Alina feels bad if she has to do that to Arfan, especially Arfan has no one to help her. Given that, he warned her that sympathy was the beginning of growing feelings. But Alina insists if she grows any feelings on Arfan.

Suddenly Ivan appeared and immediately shouted calling her 'Mother'. Ow hell! Alina frantically wanted to escape, but Ivan instead went after her while continuing to call her Mother.

He tried to forbid Ivan to call Mother, but Ivan instead added the spirit of calling her Mother like a broken cassette. Alina long ago also looked at Ivan's priesthood. Arfan was also happy to see their familiarity.

Alina used to have no problem if Arfan called her Mom, but now she feels that the name is very burdening. But his heart always melted once again at the breakfast made by Ivan and the sweet message that Ivan wrote there. To his surprise, he unconsciously referred to himself as Mother. He regained consciousness a second later and hurriedly changed his name and promised Ivan that he would finish the meal and rush to work.

But then, the Psychiatrician called Alina to deal with an important patient. The other one is Ivan. Arfan was on purpose, huh? Arfan denies this because his doctor Ivan is in the country and only Alina understands Ivan's condition the most and he is the only outsider who can get close to Ivan.

Suddenly Arfan gets a call of duty requiring him to return to the office and leave Ivan for a few days. Huh huh? Alina couldn't believe what kind of father she left her son in the hospital.

Arfan insists the priority of his work is more important now. What Ivan needs now is his mother and not his father. Even then, Ivan suddenly came out of the room shouting to call his mother and hug Alina's legs.

Alina once again asked Ivan not to call her Mother here. Patiently he reasoned that since here is the workplace, in the workplace everyone should call each other by the name of his work. Ivan simply answered it with a nod of understanding.

Ivan falls asleep when Alina gives Ivan's medical record to a special pediatric psychiatrist. Alina hasn't seen Zayn in a long time. I don't know where he's going. She felt bad working at Zayn hospital, had already hurt her feelings and was now still working freely in her place. Zayn also seems to go to avoid.

Because Ivan's condition was good, so the psychiatrist decided Ivan could go home, then Alina decided to send a selfie with Ivan who was sleeping to Arfan.

Arfan was on his way with his secretary at the time and saw the secretary carrying something. The secretary confessed that this was a gift she had brought for her lover. But he assured me that he was serious about working during his time at work. Unexpectedly, Arfan suddenly told him to help him buy souvenirs too before going home.

There was no one when Ivan woke up. Ivan panicked to find his mother in the room

play while carrying the writing tablet. Suddenly there was a brat who wanted to snatch his tablet.

"Hey, You! Give him a loan. You think I can't give that kind of thing to my son. For now, what's wrong with giving a loan."

His mother was also equally insolent, instead of teaching her son not to take the belongings of others, she was instead upset when Ivan refused to lend her the tablet.

The boy desperately wanted to snatch it, Ivan tried to defend it so that the bad boy was pushed and fell. Obviously he was wrong, his mother did not accept and blamed Ivan and accused him.

"Based on brats and not knowing manners, it's a sickness! Where's mommy? Bring him here to see me and apologize." The mother demanded Ivan's mother to meet him and apologize to him.

Alina who happened to pass by at that time, hurt by the accusation of the mother... Until finally he declared himself Ivan's mother.

"I'm his mother."

"Ivan, next time you don't have to be polite to a disrespectful person." Alina said she had told her son that he did not need to be polite if he could not respect others.

"Based on a mother and child who do not know manners!"

"It was my mother who was supposed to keep her words

so that his son does not grow up to be a bad person because of wrong teachings from his own parents. It's a hospital and a playground, so it's the mother who's supposed to keep her attitude here." Alina Sarcas.
