Not Just a Milk Mother

Chapter 33

"Did you love the stars only because of the money we gave you?" ask Arzan. Actually, he asked like that just to test Allura's feelings towards her son.

Allura nodded her head several times, convinced that the question was just Arzan's way of knowing how deep Allura's affection for the Stars was.

"You know what, sir? Possibly ... You would think, I love the Stars just for the money. However, this is not 100% true. I treat the Stars well, it's all purely because I love the Stars. I do not care about the fatigue that sometimes comes, because as long as I can still see the sweet smile of the stars, that will be the most efficacious remedy for me. Don't you feel it?" allura asked as he continued to look at the Star who was smiling at him.

Arzan confirmed Allura's remarks, he also felt that Bintang was a medicine when tiredness afflicted him.

"Yes, you're right. I don't think you really love Bintang because you're just her mommy–"

'Degh's'

Allura's feeling was like being squeezed strong and thrown from a height, the corner of her heart again felt tight when remembering if she was just a milk mother who would take care of her until the age of two Stars. After those two years, Allura would return to his old life.

Conscious, Lura. You're just her mother, Allura's mind.

Arzan looked at the silent Allura with his blank look.

"–But, it turns out you are more than that," continued Arzan who could immediately make Allura turn to him.

However, the moment their gazes met, Allura immediately threw her gaze in another direction. The girl refused to linger staring at the glare of Arzan's sharp eyes. However Allura must remain aware of his current position.

"Yes, Sir. You're correct. I was just her mom. After the breastfeeding period is over, I can go back to my old life again" Allura said, bowing her head.

"Sorry, pardon. I must bring the Stars to rest. Have a good rest for you too" Allura said, bowing slightly before leaving Arzan, who was still there.

Wait, did I have a wrong conversation? Why would he react like that? She's more than just a mother's milk to the stars. Maybe he did do this all just because of money alone, Inner Arzan while continuing to pay attention to Allura and the Star that began to disappear from his sight.

For Arzan, Allura is more than just a Star's milk mother. From Allura, Bintang can feel the affection of his mother who may have forgotten his presence. Allura is not only a source of nutrition for her child, but also as a woman who is willing to withstand drowsiness and fatigue in order to maintain and care for the stars. Allura is 100% a mother to Bintang, though she is not Arzan's wife.

Allura went into his room with a worried heart, he was so afraid that one day he would leave the Star. The star has no blood ties to her, but the Star is like her own child and she does not want to lose it.

"Two years will soon pass, can I live without this little angel? Although he is not my angel, but he is the one who made my heart bound to him" Allura muttered as she continued to stare at the sleeping returning Star.

"Bi, if you grow up later, don't forget Ma'am, huh? Ma'am really loves you," he said while rubbing the head of the Star with affection.

Huft, hopefully time doesn't pass quickly soon, I still want to stay with the Star here, Inner Allura.

Allura continued to mutter the holy verse in his heart, hoping for his heart to calm down after reading those verses. The heavy rain seemed to know the feeling of sadness and fear of Allura.

After a while later, Allura began to fall asleep following the little star who had first melanglang buana in his dream.

Tonight felt longer for Arzan, the man could not fall asleep again after meeting with Allura and Bintang. His heart was suddenly anxious, especially after seeing the unusual look on the face of the girl who became the milk mother of the child.

"Akh, what's wrong with me? Why do I keep thinking about that girl?" muttered Arzan while shuffling his hair originally.

The man got back up from his bed, he walked towards the window that was the link between the balcony and his room. Heavy rain and strong winds outside, unable to make him sleepy or cold. His heart was getting hot for no reason.

Arzan recalled the words of Mr. Anderson who asked him to immediately divorce Rivera and look for his friend's daughter, to be a wife or mother to Bintang, while his own heart had begun to link to Allura.

Heavy breathing again sounded out from the man's sharp nose, he was completely frustrated by the circumstances.

"How do we continue all this? Do I have to start being indifferent to that girl again? But ... I also don't want to accept the matchmaking that Papa will do back to me," he muttered as he rubbed his face violently.

Arzan is now assigning Edwin to search for two men, his father's daughter and the man who helped him in a car accident that almost took his life. However, until now Arzan has not found a bright spot about the daughter of his papa friend.

Even Mr. Anderson himself did not know what the girl's name was. He only gave a hint that the name 'Adnan' alone, while the name was Adnan a lot and Edwin has given various information about people named Adnan. However, among all the Adnan no one knew his father.

As Arzan was gazing at the rainwater, his memory suddenly returned when Doctor Nandi offered him to meet the person who had helped him and at that time Arzan refused him, and he refused, because he thought that person would mince words to ask for a reward after he helped her. However, all his estimates were wrong, until now he had still not met the person even though just to say a word of thanks.

"It looks like I should call Doctor Nandi, he must know who I'm looking for right now."
