My Cold Little Wife

My Cold Little Wife
IKYD EPISODE 379



Back home, breathing a sigh of relief. The cloud of sadness has gone. The light filled the heart. As the saying goes, the dark rises the light, that is what happened to the Karina family. 


Doubts and misunderstandings in the heart are gone. The conflict has been overcome. Now everyone is smiling loosely with shoulders that feel very light. 


When I returned, lunch was on the table. Special meal, welcoming the return of Karina. Unfortunately, the dining table is not enough. Three young lords of the Heart of Queen casino and family, as well as Calvin, Raina, Sam, and Lila. Li, Gerry, and Elina return to the headquarters, they will prepare a celebration at the headquarters also welcome and discuss further the cooperation of the Blue Sword with the Anfa group.


They had lunch in the backyard, rolling out mats with lush foliage as a heat barrier. 


Arion painstakingly feeds Brian, Basurata, and Bahtiar. Initially Karina forbade, they could already eat by themselves. Arion refuses, this is his first meeting, Arion wants to get closer and get to know his three children more deeply. We have to build a relationship between them. For after all, for the three boys, the Emir was still the closest father to them. This was confirmed by Basurata. He repeatedly asked about Emir. 


Fortunately, Arion does not understand Arabic. Otherwise, it would definitely cause a deep hole of jealousy.


Family gathering. If they used to gather there are still those who do not have children, then we are all parents. 


Azzura Aquilla Kinara is the name of Rian and Angela's son. The three-year-old girl has blue eyes, curly hair similar to Angela. 


Dylan Valencius was the son of Satya and Riska. The boy inherits Satya's emerald eyes. Her hair is a bit of a wave like Riska. 


Gibran, Azura, and Dylan are already fluent in two languages, English and Indonesian. So they had no trouble understanding their parents' conversation. 


Fortunately, three male triplets have above average intelligence. Only a few moments taught by Enji, there are quite a lot of Indonesian vocabulary that they memorize and know. Before they master the language, they communicate using translator tools.


After lunch, the parents chat while enjoying the closing menu that is rujak. While the children play with supervised by Bik Mirna and other servants.


By late afternoon, Sam, Lila, Calvin, and Raina return home. It's been almost one day outside. Children of hell must be very fussy on grandparents at home.


As per the requirements of Arion earlier, finished Ashar, Dervish began to fight with tools and cooking ingredients, cooking dinner for all. Joya helps, Rian, Satya, Angela, and Riska also participate. They cook together, sharing tasks. 


Amri and Maria are in charge of looking after the children, except for their biological grandchildren who now swim together with their parents. 


In the pool, Blue and Bima showed their swimming abilities while the Stars remained attached to Karina. Arion teaches Brian, Basurata, and Bahtiar to swim.  But instead of swimming the three children instead stick to Arion. Brian and Bahtiar hug hands while Basurata hugs Arion's neck. Arion laughed, ignorantly diving making the three children signal to hold their breath. 


"Uhuk - uhuk - uhuk. You're a bad father!"gerutu Basurata, dazed by tightly hugging Arion's neck.


"Bara ... Dad's suffocating" Oh Arion.


"Belgium!"sahut Basurata's. 


Karina chuckles at Arion being held captive by the three children. His face resigned as Basurata climbed up and now sits on his neck, both legs hovering in front of his chest. 


"Mama ... Tonight Star sleeps in Mama's room with Papa yes," hoped the Star with clear eyes. 


"Blue too, Ma," added Blue, docked at Karina. 


"Bima too, Ma," continued Bima, also docked at Karina. Karina flinched thinly.


"I'm also Mother" said Brian, who was taken by his two younger siblings.


"Is the bed enough?"ask Karina.


"Enough. If it's not enough, Papa says to sleep on the couch" replied Blue. Arion who heard it immediately glared annoyed at Blue.


"How dare you tell Papa to sleep on the couch?! Yes, you guys are sleeping in your rooms!"grouse Arion. 


"No! The star wants to sleep with Mama!"reject the Stars, hug Karina's waist.


"No! Mama's just gonna sleep with Papa! You sleep in each other's rooms!"firmly Arion.


"No want! The star wants to sleep with Mama!"kekeh Stars.


"Star …."


"Easy-after. We sleep together tonight. Mama is also afraid to sleep alone with Papa," said Karina.


Arion smiled stiffly, very piercingly. Is he a man who can't resist lust? He also knew Karina's weak physical condition, which might be the heart and dare to invite Karina to connect.


"okay-okay. We sleep on the floor, the beds aren't enough for the eight of us" Arion broke up.


"Horay!"the sixth is happy.

Fairy tales before going to bed are a happy thing for every child. Especially if both parents accompany and give a light pat on the body. Of the six children who first fell asleep were Basurata and Bintang. Followed by Blue, Brian, and Bahtiar. 


"Why haven't you slept?"asked Karina softly to Bima.


"Mama .. Papa there is something Bima wants to ask," said Bima, slowly with timid eyes.


"Ask me" replied Arion.


"But Mama and Papa don't be angry, yes" Pinta Bima, playing her finger.


"Papa Promise" said Arion.


"Mama promise will not be angry" added Karina.


"It's about Bima's identity" said Bima quickly, then entered into the blanket. Arion and Karina looked at each other, both sighing softly.


"Is it time?"ask Arion.


"But not here" whispered Arion. 


"Bima let's go out yuk," asked Karina. Bima pulled out her head.


"Thank you?"


"Say Bima wants to know the identity of Bima, must be a secret dong." Karina rubbed Bima's head. Bima was silent for a while then nodded obediently. Out of the row carefully then followed Karina and Arion to the balcony. 


"So what does Bima want to know?"ask Karina.


"Mama .. Bima is not your biological child, right?" Arion and Karina were silent for a moment. Karina looked at Arion with probing eyes, Arion shook his head not knowing.


"Who said Bima is not Mama's biological child with Papa? Your Grandpa, Grandma, or Uncle?"


Bima shook her head.


"Nobody told me. Bima knows it himself," explained Bima.


"Oh how do you draw that conclusion? You are our biological child" Karina said.


"Mama don't lie. Bima knows Ma, Pa. My face with Bintang and Kak Bima is much different. Bima would probably believe if Bima were twinned with them if it belonged to the twin category. But blood can't lie, Ma, Pa. My blood type is O+, while Mama A's blood type, Papa's blood type is O. Brother Bintang and Brother Blue are also O. Grandpa sama grandma is also not the same blood Bima," said Bima with a vibrating tone.


Karina was stunned, Arion gasped. Karina's smile came up.


"What happened to that?"asked Karina curiously.


"You are our son, whether or not you are our son. Bima .. right. You are not our flesh and blood but blood is not the determinant of descent. Bima, Mama and Papa love you very much. So, we beg you after this never keep your distance with us. Don't feel alien, you're a part of us. Regarding your biological parents, it's not the time that you know" Karina explained.


"M-Mama!" Bima went straight into Karina's arms. Shed tears in Karina's chest. Arion hugged his wife and son.


"really. You are still our son. The child we raised was full of love and affection. Never feel you are not comparable to your brother and sister, Bima you are great without having to be someone else. Stay as usual, we are one family" Arion said. 


"Mama, Papa, Bima promises to be a good and proud child of you," said Bima earnestly, wiping her tears.


"Then be a great pilot!"sahut Arion's.


"Ready, Papa!"


"Pilots? You want to be a pilot?"


"Hem. Bima wants to be a pilot, so later if Mama boarded the plane Bima will drive it," replied Bima.


"Good boy, Mama stumps what you said today." Karina rubbed Bima's head. Bima smiled widely, so relieved and happy it felt.

Monday felt very bright and colorful. The morning is filled with the commotion and noise of the house by the children. Karina is busy tidying up the hair of the Stars, Blue, and Bima who are about to leave for school. The spoiled Arion asks Karina to put up her tie, but just wants to go to the headquarters, what is the formal outfit for? 


Not to mention Brian, Basurata, and Bahtiar who are busy choosing clothes in the closet. The second floor was very noisy. There were Gibran, Azura, and Dylan who were whining for milk while their mother was busy cooking. The father of the three children was even engrossed in jogging, making Joya, Riska, and Angela grit her teeth annoyed. Bik Mirna who was not allowed to go to the kitchen, shook her head slowly to hear and see the morning activity of this house. Totally different.


While four more, namely Amri, Maria, Enji, and Alia were busy watching morning cartoons in the living room. Not bothered by this commotion, instead smiling happily.


"Darawis is insolent!" Joya sliced the onion with fiery eyes as if she was slicing Dervish.


"Where's Gibran's towel?" With the milk bottle in hand, Gibran yelled at Joya. 


"In the room, if you're not near the couch!"answer Joya.


"Nothing. Gibran's been unloading no rooms either."


"Just use your towel!"


"No way!"


"If you don't have to shower!"


"Oh okay." Gibran now breezed into the living room, watching cartoons.


"Why does a rancid look like a Dervish?!"grouse Joya.


"His name is also his son, sister," said Angela.


"Stay away. Just be careful if Darwis comes home!"


"Mama milk!"


"Dylan, just be patient for a minute, son. Soon the soup is ripe again," said Riska. 


While Azura herself fell asleep again by hugging Angela's legs. Angela who was busy cutting vegetables, smiled gently.
