Mother To Daddy (Close)

eps 13s

The next day, Aiden invited Oma Laras to visit Stella, actually it was a suggestion from Sandy, only she was embarrassed to speak directly with her parents.

*Flashback

"Aiden, take Oma to look at Mother Yuk?" said Sandy approached Aiden who was playing a replica of the Ironman robot.

Aiden looked up and nodded enthusiastically. "Okay, Dad."

Aiden immediately ran towards Laras who was relaxing in the poolside gazebo.

"Omaa look at Mother Stella? Sama Daddy," said Aiden enthusiastically pointed at Sandy who pretended to read the newspaper.

Laras. "Did you change your clothes?" the answer is stroking Aiden's head.

Flashback off*

"Assalamualaikum," said Aiden and Laras opened Stella's hospitalization door. Sandy was still outside to pick up the phone.

"Wa'alaikumsalam,"

Stella turned her head and was surprised to see the presence of Aiden and Laras.

"Aunty? Aiden?"

Aiden ran and went straight up to the cage, hugging Stella. "Aiden miss Mommy, Mommy is cured huh?"

Stella smiles. "Yes, Honey. Mother also misses Aiden," she replied stroking Aiden's back with one hand that did not have an infusion tube.

Sandy who just came in took a seat on the sofa.

"How are you, Ste? Forgive aunt for coming here, "sorry Laras noticed Stella's pale face.

Stella smiles. "Alhamdulillah is gone, Aunt. Sorry for the trouble."

The barrel caresses Stella's arm. "Nothing bothered, even when Aiden was sick, you kept waiting for him to get well."

"I'm happy to accompany this handsome man," Stella replied with a faint smile on Aiden's face.

Aiden laughing. "Geli, Mommy" he said trying to avoid Stella's kiss.

Sandy was silent to the togetherness of Stella and Aiden, smiling to see the two laughing.

"Are you ready Stella?" Laras turned to look towards Sari.

Sari reached out her hand towards Laras about to kiss her hand. "I'm Sari, Mom. The employee at the boutique is Ma'am Stella."

Laras nodded. "Call Aunty alone."

Sari gasp. "Eh? I-iya, Auntie," she replied.

"Where are your parents, Ste?" tanya Laras looked back at Stella.

Stella. "Dad in Bandung, Tan. Mom is dead."

"Oh sorry —" sorry Unpleasant barrel.

"It's okay, Tan," interrupted Stella smiling understandably.

"Dad you're not here?" Sandy opened her voice, making a look towards her.

"I deliberately didn't tell her I was in care" Stella replied.

"Why, Stella?" Barrels softly.

"I don't want to trouble Father and his new family, Tan," Stella replied, leaving Laras and Sandy frowning in confusion.

While Sari who already knew about the Stella family just kept quiet while inviting Aiden to play on the sofa.

"After Mom died, Dad got married again" Stella explained, seeing the confused look of the two.

"You said your father was in Bandung? Who are you in Jakarta with?" ask Laras curiously.

Stella folded her lips inward. "First, after marriage, the late husband was able to promote his position in Jakarta, we decided to move and settle here."

"Is there a family in Jakarta?"

"If family doesn't exist, but if friends feel family exists" Stella smiled cheerfully.

Sandy was stunned, looking at the woman sitting on the middle of the cage smiling beautifully. 'Very Sweet.'

Stella turned her head towards Sandy, both of whom made eye contact, but Stella immediately turned her gaze away.

"Ehem!"

Laras cleared his throat, awakening Sandy from her fascination with Stella.

Sandy who heard Laras' insinuations immediately cleared her throat, rubbing the back of her neck to divert her nervousness.

While Laras and Sari mengoleum smile seeing both misbehavior, especially Sandy who was caught staring at Stella.

***

In the last few days, Laras visited Stella regularly in the hospital, he felt sorry, because none of the Stella family accompanied, at least this form of revenge against Stella first.

Not with Sandy, because the man was out of the country on business for a week, and continued out of town for a month.

During Sandy's time outside the city, Laras allows Aiden to visit Stella's boutique just to play. Stella was allowed to go home by a doctor.

Even almost every day, after school, Aiden stopped by Stella's boutique, not infrequently Laras also visited just a greeting.

Jery who was initially surprised by the presence of Aiden at Stella's boutique over time began to get used to it, even Jery was surprised at the call Mother said Aiden.

"Ste, whose child is he?" ask Jery curiously.

"It's Aiden, my son," replied Stella originally, making Jery glare.

"When did you get married, Ste? Why don't you invite me" said Jery demanding.

Stella chuckles. "I'm kidding, Jer." Stella patted Jery on the shoulder "He's my friend's son" she turned to Aiden, who was doing her schoolwork.

Jery squeaks sharply. "You sure?" tanyanya.

Stella nodded.

Jery breathed a rough breath. "But even if he's your son, it doesn't matter, Ste. He's a handsome little guy" Jery said with a teasing smile.

Stella tickles.

Aiden. "Aiden, Om."

"What if you grow up, you'll be my daughter-in-law?"

"What's that son-in-law, Om?" ask Aiden plain.

Plaque!

Stella hits Jery's arm. "Don't teach her anything bad, Jery," she stared intently.

He looked at Aiden. "Aiden, don't listen to this Om huh? Aiden continued to dye it okay," Stella blinked one eye at Stella.

Aiden nodded and continued his coloring activities.

"Hey, why? He will I match up with Caramel," replied Jery indifferently.

Plaque!

Again, Stella hits Jery's arm. "You forgot? Caramel is only five months old, Jery," he said. "You are a crazy father" he said with a lip gesture. Because he didn't want Aiden to hear any bad words.

Jery chuckles. "Why are you angry, Ste? Maybe if I talk to her parents, they'll agree, "the tease of Jery raises her eyebrows.

Stella stared at Jery who was still open

"Basic crazy," sneer Stella softly.

***

Not much different from Jery, Rega who several times visited Stella to the boutique always saw Aiden there. He also wondered why the boy had called Stella to Mother.

"Why did he call you Mother, Ste?" the protest did not accept.

"Why indeed?"

"He's not your son, Ste. What if someone misunderstands?"

Stella turned to look at Rega. "I don't care about other people's responses, Ga. I don't mind Aiden calling me Mother, after all I asked her to call me that," he argued.

"But what about her parents?"

"His mother died, and his father did not mind at all," Stella replied indifferently. Feeling Rega's attitude was too excessive just because Aiden called her Mother.

Rega glares. "So he's the son of a widower?" guess Rega raised her voice.

Stella nodded. "Yes." Yeah."

"Then, where's the father?" ask Rega curiously. Actually he was upset because Stella was close to the son of a widower, he felt he had a rival.

"Out of town."

"Is there no family? Why is he always here, Ste? Is he a nobody to you?" Rega continued to express her sense of protest.

Stella frowned, not accepting when Rega said that Aiden was a nobody to her. Although it is in fact true.

"What's wrong with you, Ga? Why are you talking like that?"

Rega approached, holding both of Stella's arms. "I don't like you being so close to him, Ste," he said softly.

Stella took a few steps back, her forehead frowning. "What do you mean, Ga?"

Rega scooped his face, shuffling his hair in frustration. "You're close to the son of a widower, it's very likely that you're also close to his father, Ste. I don't like you being close to other men" she said.

Stella gasps, in fact she has long known that Rega has feelings for her, but Stella dismisses the thought, she feels inappropriate for a Rega who is still never married, handsome and rich, he said, she is a widow.

"Why?" tanyanya.

"Because I'm —"

"Your mother,"

Aiden's shout stopped Rega's speech, making Rega groan in frustration.

"I go first, Ste," he said, immediately turning to leave Stella standing in her place.

Stella looked at Rega who was walking out of her boutique. "I'm sorry, Rega" he said softly

***

The next two days, Stella accompanied Aiden camping at the top, attending school events.

It was a request from Laras and Aiden, Aiden continued to whine so that Stella would accompany him camping, he said if all his friends went with his Mommy, he also wanted to be with Mommy.

Aiden does not want to go with Fara, he does not like Fara, besides Stella is not so sure about Fara, as a result she agreed to accompany Aiden camping for two days.

There, of course he met Erin. And Erin is shocked to see Stella coming with Aiden.

"What does this have to do with Aiden?" cecar Erin after both of them sat in the long chair, watching the children playing in the sand.

"Nothing, Rin. I'm only close to Aiden not to his father."

Erin. "Elo sure?" tanyanya.

"Related. Besides Sandy already has a wife," he replied indifferently.

Erin seemed to remember. "Oh, yeah, I've seen Aiden being ushered in by a woman, so that's right Aiden's stepmother-to-be?" guess it.

Stella nodded. "It seems so," he answered shrugging both of his shoulders.

Erin shifted her seat, approaching towards Stella. "But, Ste. I'd rather agree that you're Aiden's stepmother" he whispered.

Stella pulled her head. "Don't ngaco."

"I'm serious, Stella. After all, Aiden looks very familiar with you," Erin paused her speech. "And you know? Aiden's father is handsome, Ste. Duren, cool widower, tajir, who doesn't want to be the same doi?" erin smiled with a smile.

Stella menoel Erin's cheeks. "Don't shadow that. You have a husband, you have a Vini too."

"Just shadow the doang, Ste," he replied in a grin.
