Not Just a Milk Mother

Chapter 67

Today is Arzan's first divorce hearing with Rivera. All the families were present there, not to mention the flow of the swing was also asked to accompany Arzan. Although initially Allura had refused, but Madam Fika forced Allura to stay.

"Lura, you're coming too, yeah!" pinta Madam Fika for the umpteenth time.

"But ... Nyonya–"

"That's it. It's okay, you come along. Anyway ... I want to know if Rivera will come to the stars or not" said Mrs Fika as she scooped up the Star still lying on the bed.

"Don't expect more, Ma. That woman doesn't deserve to be called Mom." Arzan suddenly came and chimed in the words of Madam Fika who was in the room of the Star.

"When are you coming in, Zan?" ask Lady Fika to the child.

"I accidentally saw the door of this room open. So, I decided to take a look" replied Arzan while teasing the child who was in his mother's arms.

Allura smiled faintly when she saw the interaction between Madam Fika and Arzan. She misses her mother so much that she has been banned from contacting her for days. I don't know for what reason, Allura doesn't know.

I miss Mama, how are you doing now? My number was blocked, Mama also forbade me to meet her at home, the inner Allura.

Madam Fika noticed the change in Allura's countenance, she approached the girl to question her.

"Lura, why are you sad?" ask Mrs Fika.

Allura shook her head slowly while forcing herself to smile. "It's okay, Madam. I ... I just miss my mom" she replied.

Actually, Madam Fika and Arzan were also a little curious because it had been a few days since Allura had not asked her permission to see Mother Ani. Usually if there is free time, Allura always asks for permission from him.

"Then, why don't you go see him or don't call him as usual?"

Again the girl shook her head softly with her head bowed and shoulders relaxed. "My cell phone number is blocked by Mama and Aunt Erni. They also forbid me to meet him, Viana could not tell them the situation because she was outside the city" Allura replied again.

Madam Fika and Arzan looked at each other directly, they tried to ask each other through eye to eye. However, neither Arzan nor Mrs Fika knew what was going on.

"Yes, after returning from the court office we will stop by your Mama's rented house" Arzan said while entertaining Allura.

Allura immediately straightened his head, upon hearing Arzan's invitation. The girl looked excited again, having previously looked glum.

"Thank you, Mr. Madam. Then, I'll be ready soon." Allura immediately passed into her bathroom, leaving behind Madam Fika who was shaking slowly and Arzan who was still standing in his place.

After seeing Allura enter the bathroom, Madam Fika also invited Arzan to immediately get out of the room.

"Come, Zan. We wait for Allura on the sofa there," pointed at Madame Fika as she stepped out of the room.

The same thing is not much different for Ani's mother. The middle-aged woman missed her daughter so much that she had not met for days and did not contact her. Not without reason Ani's mother forbade her son not to contact her, but it was all she did for Allura's safety.

Aunt Erni was moved when she saw her brother looking out the window blankly. However, he understood his cousin's feelings.

"An, just try today you call Allura. Maybe Mr. Darion won't find out if you call her this once," Aunt Erni's advice, who had no heart to see Ani's mother, was silent.

Aunt Erni could not do anything, she herself was confused by her current position. However, he could not bear to see his brother sad because he missed his son so much. Yes, Mr. Darion's arrival to Mother Ani's rented house a few days ago was nothing but to threaten her.

The flashback

That afternoon, Ani's mother and Aunt Erni were enjoying the lunch that Arzan had given them. Arzan and Allura themselves did not eat because at that time there was something that must be immediately resolved by Arzan.

After the two men were alone, suddenly the door of Mother Ani's house was knocked again by someone. At first, Aunt Erni thought that it was her nephew coming back again. However, after the door opened wide, how shocked he was as he looked at the middle-aged man he met at the hospital in the morning.

"Sorry, Sir. Is there anything I can help you with?" asked Aunt Erni while watching two men of different ages on the doorstep of Mother Ani's rented house.

"Is Ani around?" asked Mr. Darion when the one who opened the door was another woman.

"Damn? Excuse me, what do you need to find Ani? Right now he is resting," Aunt Erni replied without letting the two men into her house.

"There's something I need to talk to him about. And ... This is very important. So, can you let us in, so I can meet him?"

Aunt Erni without worrying if Mr. Darion will hurt Ani's mother. However, if he refused, Mr. Darion would still force him.

"You take it easy, Auntie. My father would never hurt anyone, unless that person deserved to hurt us" Ethan grinned at the middle-aged woman's silence.

Aunt Erni was getting scared when she heard the young man in front of her. In that house there was no one else but her and Ani's mother. So, Aunt Erni was worried as well.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Darion and this is Ethan, my son. I am the sister of her late husband, Adnan. So, you don't have to worry about me hurting Ani," said Mr. Darion when Aunt Erni wouldn't let her into the house.

After hearing the confession from the man in front of her, Aunt Erni believed and let Mr. Darion and Ethan into the rented house.

"Alright, please come in. I'll tell Ani about your arrival." Aunt Erni opened the door wide and passed from before Mr. Darion and Ethan, before entering the room not far from the door of the house.

After being invited into the simple rented house, Mr. Darion and Ethan sat down. There were no couches or chairs inside, only the floor was covered in thin mats.

Soon enough, Ani's mother came out of her room and sat there. Mr. Darion continued to watch the woman sitting in front of him.

In the past, he was so admiring the beautiful face, as well as the kindness of the woman. However, his heart must be broken not when Mother Ani chose her sister to make as a companion for life. To this day, he still has that feeling.

"So, what are you doing here for, sir?" ask Ani's mother when Mr. Darion never says a word to her.

"none. I just want to know how my sister-in-law is doing right now. But ... It looks like you're in a bad state, huh?" asked Mr. Darion with a condescending look.

Ani's mother already knew how Mr. Darion handled her. So, he did not take heart at Mr. Darion's humble words.

"Thank God, for now I'm fine, sir." Ani's mother chose not to settle the face of the man in front of her.

Cih, it is still like that, muttered Mr. Darion when he saw Mother Ani who turned her face away from him.

"Is it true ... The girl is Adnan's son?" ask Mr. Darion.
