Whats? Papa's? Did I not hear wrong? Oh God. Don't tell me she's a widower? So, I'm married to a widower? Why is this my life story? Cancel marrying my lover. Now even married to a widower? Nira had a monologue in her heart.
Not true! This is not true! unconsciously Nira shook her head.
"Why you?" ask mama Sovi.
"Emm, it's okay, Ma." replied Nira with a clumsy smile. Don't let her mother-in-law know she's a little surprised.
"can't. Mr. Grace will take you." replied Arka to the boy with an expressionless face.
"But, Pa.."
"Ge, Papa's been very busy. You should be able to understand it." Arka let go of the child's embrace and then stepped towards the main door, leaving the child still standing staring at his disappearance. The boy's gaze hinted at sadness and disappointment.
Mama Sovi then walked over to the child and held him in her arms. Mama Sovi wiped the tears on the cheeks of the boy who was about five years old. Mama Sovi took the boy to the dinner table and sat him down next to her uncle. Aksa rubbed the boy's head.
"Ge, your papa is very busy. Oma hope you understand, ok? Don't make your papa angry." persuaded mama Sovi and replied a nod by Geo.
"Oma will try to persuade your papa that he will take you once" added mama Sovi.
"Really, Oma?" ask the boy with a glowing face. Mama Sovi gave her thumbs up to the boy.
Nira who saw the child became touched while staring lovingly. He can conclude, if the child must have received less attention and affection from his father or could have been ignored. Because he could see from the look of Arka's eyes earlier while talking to Geo.
Nira was still at home staring at the boy, until the moment the boy realized that someone was staring at him. The boy named Geo looked back at him with a look of dislike.
"Diihih! Same father's son is the same. His look was so cool!" said Nira softly while shuddering in horror got a sharp look from Geo.
"Look! You guys are so similar. Right, Aksa? Suitable to be a mother and child." said mama Sovi while pointing Geo's face and then change to point Nira's face. Aksa just nodded her head, assuring her mama.
It is undeniable, when viewed carefully, Nira and Geo have somewhat similar faces.
"Masa? Yeah, maybe it's a coincidence, Ma." answered Nira in disbelief. Is he similar to Geo who is now his stepson? Considering he had no blood relation to Geo.
"I don't want to say I look like him! She's not who I am." Geo refused by pointing fiercely at Nira.
"Geos! That's polite with people older than you!" mama Sovi's orders.
This buset is a boy! Eleven and twelve were his fathers. May he ask for mercy! inner Nira.
Geo lowered his head after being reprimanded by his oman. Mama Sovi who felt guilty then sat next to Geo.
"Geo, that aunt is no one else. She is now your mother. You call Aunt Nira, Mama huh?" obviously mama Sovi while gently rubbing her grandson's arm.
Without answering, Geo ran into his room again. As Mama Sovi was about to chase after her, Nira held her mother-in-law's hand.
"Ma, let it go. Don't force. Poor thing. It's up to Geo to call me what. He needs time, Ma." said Nira.
Mama Sovi smiled with relief because Nira was very understanding. Arka chose Nira as her companion.
And Nira? Don't ask, he's busy with his own thoughts. Many question marks on her head at this time because she did not know about the origin of her husband. He himself was shocked when he found out that Arka already had a son.
