Arion opened the room window. Enjoy the whirlwind of the beach, staring at the trees and the beach that stretches wide. Arion stretched out his hands, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, enjoying the sound of the waves churning. See the birds flying in groups to return to the nest. Smile gently while orange streaks color the western sky a sign that the sun will soon sink.
"Darling, the twilight this time felt so beautiful. The beach is a suitable place to enjoy the beauty and warmth of twilight. What if we spend our old days here?"
Arion turned around, looking at Karina who was still busy changing her three children's clothes. Karina looked at Arion's direction.
"You want to spend the old days here with me or enjoy the beauty of twilight?"asked Karina flat.
"both. But the main thing is that I want to spend the old days with you here while enjoying the warmth of twilight. Dusk is only a complement, you are the main one. Dusk is beautiful but you are the most beautiful in my heart" replied Arion, stepping over to Karina.
Arion sat on the edge of the bed while watching Karina who was wearing clothes to Bima.
"Actually wherever we stand, as long as I am with you, the place will feel very beautiful and warm. It's just .. Every human must have their own dreams. So do I. After our children are able to replace us, I want to live in a place far from the crowd. A place that is still natural, far from all the business that I used to do while still leading. You can think of this as an exile .. but this is what I want. Far from all the usual intrigues I saw and experienced," said Arion, embracing the waist of the Star as the boy stood holding on to his body.
"If so, can I refuse?"
Karina looked gently at Arion. Arion's smile.
"I built this palace for the reason you mentioned it" Karina added.
"Thank you, honey," said Arion.
"The children are fresh and fragrant. It's time for me to take a shower. Ar ... You take care of them for a while, yeah," said Karina as she took off her hairband.
"It's my job. Ah, do you want to shampoo?"ask Arion.
Karina nodded.
"It's best not now because tonight you'll be shampooing again. I'm afraid you'll get sick" Arion suggested, smiling at Karina.
Karina gasped for a moment.
"Ah ... basic pervert!"peekkik Karina, as fast as lightning ran towards the bathroom.
Arion laughed at Karina's embarrassed expression. Arion turned his gaze to his three children as they followed Arion laughing. Their laughter is adorable.
Encouraging Bima when the child began to crawl closer to him. Blue himself was still staring at Arion with a difficult gaze Arion meant.
"Blue, what's wrong? Hm?"
Arion, who had been sitting cross-legged in the middle of the bed and was now being mobbed by the Stars and Blue, looked at Blue with both hands outstretched forward, asking Blue to come to him.
"Pa-pa," said the star who is already good at calling Arion even though there is still a pause.
"Yes, Papa's Star. What's up?"
"Pa-pa," said the star again.
"Keep calling Papa, Star," said Arion, giving a kiss on the cheek of his little daughter.
The star laughed off by constantly calling Arion papa. Blue stared at the Star, his small forehead frowning thinly.
"Pa-pa?"
Arion looked at Blue as his first son called out to him for the first time. Arion's heart is getting warmer.
"Yes!"arion Girang.
Blue crawled and now sat on Arion's lap.
Blue stands by holding on to Arion's chest. His little hand extended upwards, reaching out to Arion's forehead. Arion is a little confused by the behavior of Blue coupled with the behavior of the Star and Bima which is now compact holding both ears.
The three children now exchanged lyrics. As if they were already good at counting, when the count of three, Arion was silent when Blue patted his forehead, Star and Bima simultaneously pulled his earlobe.
It doesn't hurt at all. Arion who was silent looking for a reason why his three children molested him. What harm? Will it?
Did they understand that I was teasing Karina? But yes, kali. But where do they learn? Or was the soul to protect Karina already ingrained in their hearts? And this Milky is also no less smart with the Star and Blue. I'm getting curious about her background. I'm still not sure that this kid got off the street and just out of pity raised him to be a kid. Should I ask Karina?arion thought to heart.
Arion immediately pretended to faint, dropping his body on the bed after seeing Blue's smile.
Will my children have the same psychopathic spirit as their mother?
Arion suddenly creeped himself into imagining it.
Karina who just finished taking a bath, while wearing a kimono towel frowned in wonder at the noise from outside.
What the hell are they doing?batin Karina, get out of the bathroom immediately.
Karina stopped a step not far from the bed with a astonished face. Seeing Arion lying with his three children occupying Arion's body. The three children look very excited to smash their small hands into Arion's body.
"What are you guys doing?"asked Karina who suddenly made the three toddlers turn their heads.
Arion opened his eyes, glancing at Karina smiling.
The three toddlers immediately explained with their respective styles that Karina could conclude that her three children did not like if Arion hurt her.
Karina laughed.
"My baby triplet, Papa didn't hurt Mama. Tempting between husband and wife is natural. Later Karina will experience it herself when she knows the name of love," explained Karina, lowering one by one her children from the body of Arion.
Arion sat down while confirming the position of his clothes.
The stars, Blue, and Bima immediately hugged Karina after staring at Arion with a warning gaze. Arion gulped roughly, staring at Karina with his eyes clear. Karina replied with a triumphant smile.
"Mama."
"Mama."
"Mama."
The triplet toddler called Karina to put each other down.
"Yes, my baby triplet. Mommy here," said Karina.
"What about Papa? Do you just love your mom? Papa is jealous."
"Pa-w."
The star stretched out one hand pointing at Arion.
"Ppa-pa."
Blue follows.
"P-a-p-a Bima," said Karina lead Bima who looks still alien.
"P-a-p-a?"
Arion approaches, stretching out both hands to hug Karina and her baby triplet.
As the little family was swept away in the warm embrace of the family, the door of their room was knocked. Fortunately this room is equipped with a remote control and can be activated only by voice command.
It turns out Amri, Maria, and Enji. The three men entered, conveying the intent to nurture their grandchildren and nephews. Karina and Arion agree. Grandchildren, grandparents, and uncles also need quality time.
After the three toddlers came out together with their grandfather, grandmother, and uncle, Arion now looked at Karina seriously.
"Darling there's something I want to ask you" Arion said.
Karina raised her eyebrows.
"Ask it," said Karina.
"It's about Bima. Honey is it true that Bima's background is just a child that you found on the street and raised just because sympathetic?"
Karina was silent for a while then exhaled softly.
"At first I didn't matter where and how Bima's background was. But I feel that Bima has a background that is quite important, especially after seeing her intelligence. There can be no parents who are willing to throw a child as blank and as smart as Bima," added Arion.
Karina breathed back.
"The five will grow older by the day. Little or much there will certainly be similarities with his biological parents. I'm just afraid, afraid that later if Bima is an adult and if her biological family is still alive, it demands that we return Bima" said Arion, very earnest.
"You're right" answered Karina.
There was doubt in his eyes.
"Will but if I tell you the truth, you must promise not to be ashamed or disgusted with Bima. Whatever his background, you won't lose your affection for him. And in the future never bring up his past. Bima Areksa Tirta Wijaya is our third child. That was his identity now!"karina continued in a very serious tone.
Arion silently digested Karina's words. That means right guess.
"I promise. Whatever Bima's background, she's our third child!"arion replied no less seriously.
Karina breathed back.
"Bima is the son of a mistress of a businessman. Born by siri marriage. His mother died after leaving Bima to me. It was the work of the businessman's legal wife!"karina.
"Who is he?"ask Arion.
"Wiratama" replied Karina.
"So Bima is the biological child of Wiratama? Entrepreneurs in the textile field, right? I know if the child from Siri's marriage has no power in the husband's family. If the problem is about inheritance, Bima does not have the strength to demand" said Arion.
"Ar-arc. For women who want it serial, legal, or not married, still the first wife will feel threatened. Was it a series, but will it remain a series forever? The best way to secure their position if bribing is not working is to eliminate lives is an option."
"If I were that woman, I would have done the same thing plus I would have killed you too!"threaten Karina with sharp eyes.
"Why am I cheating?"reply Arion seriously.
"Hm."
"If so, Bima has Wiratama's blood. All I worry about is one ... if the Wiratama family knows about this, will they ask Bima back? Now it's not, but we don't know what's going to happen in the future" worried Arion.
"Whatever it is, I will not hand Bima over to them either now or in the future!"karina.
"I do so," said Arion.
"But Ar, I can't cover Bima's true identity either. Sooner or later he will see the difference between him and the Star and the Blue. The more mature ... he will also see similarities with Wiratama," said Karina doubtful.
"If it is so .. telling the truth is a choice," replied Arion.
Karina weighed then nodded.
