Not the Surrogate Mother
Answers to Keiko



Although Keiko nodded her head in agreement with Kailandra's words. However, the man certainly did not immediately give an answer or statement to Keiko's question. Looking at Kailani's seemingly confused face, he could guess what was on the woman's mind.


"Kei confused why are the deduct twins here? Kei's confused why the grandpa twins were taught to call dad to Oppa?" While walking slowly towards Kailani and Keiko, Kailandra reassured what Keiko wanted to know.


Again the adorable little boy simply replied with a nod of his head. Kailandra then sends a signal to Kailani to calm down and entrust all to her with body language in the form of a small nod accompanied by the blink of two eyes that are so soft and also a thin smile.


"Before Oppa answered, may Oppa know first, why Kei ask so many things to mother?" Kailandra stood with his knees right in front of Keiko. A little makes Kailani rattled because of the position.


"Because Keiko's friend told me that if Kenzi had a new mom, Kei should also have a new dad. If you don't have one, then Keiko's mother is Kenzi's second wife. And they also say, if there is a new grandpa at home, it means that Mother Kei will marry the father of the grandpa. So Kei asked, why does encus always teach baby grandpa to call "Father" to Oppa? That means Oppa same Mother wants to get married? Where do the Dedek twins go? Will the grandpa twins also have a mom and mom like Kei?"


Kailani massaged her head which was suddenly a little dizzy hearing Keiko's extremely critical questions and statements. With all the progress and openness of information technology in the present era, it is likely that children can mature before their age. Their thinking can no longer be limited to what is the parent's point of view. In reality, they could discuss anything with their friends at school. Where his friends certainly also have a background and bring diverse information as well.


Realizing Keiko's mind was too far and wide because it might take too long to keep the questions to herself, Kailani herself realized it might be time for her to talk to the princess.


"Mother answer Kei's question about mother and father first, later it will be continued to answer the same Oppa," Kailani broke up.


Keiko patted the empty side of the bed to her left. "Oppa just sit here, let's listen to what you say."


Kailandra and Kailani exchanged glances. Today the two were completely shocked at Keiko's unusual attitude. The spoiled side and the childish side that is usually dominant, either went missing where.


"Kei, in every human relationship, there must be a time when we have a fight or incompatibility. Like Keiko and Kenzi who sometimes have fights, right? The difference is, your problem must be simpler. Just because scrambling toys or scrambling to determine where to eat. It is different from the problems adults face. And that level of relationship is also different. Friends, friends, lovers and the highest of course the relationship of husband and wife."


Kailani deliberately paused for a moment her explanation. Just want to make sure the language is not too difficult to be understood by a child of Keiko's age.


"Mother and papa are the same, we have a problem. There are things that you do not like from papa, and vice versa. Instead of fighting, papa and mother decided to separate. That human encounter and separation has already predestined, Kei. There is a God who determines. After no longer being a husband, papa married her mother. So, Kei. Even so, mother and father promised to always love Kei. Does Kei feel any different from Kei's other friends?"


Keiko nodded slowly. "Kei feels Kei is different, Bun. Kei is not unhappy. But Kei is sometimes tired of answering. Often every weekend is equally fitting to go for a walk to meet Kei's friends. Then tomorrow they ask, why is your bundle not there? How's Kenzi's mom? Then tomorrow they will do it again" complained Keiko.


Kailani tried to smile. Simultaneously, his hand and Kailandra stretched out to rub Keiko's head. Making a hand touch between the two is inevitable. Kailandra hastily pulled his hand back.


"Kei, everyone has their own way of life. Everything is arranged with God. Kei should be grateful. There are still many children out there who cannot live with their parents. Be grateful, Kei, because many love Kei. While only this answer you can say. Later, if Kei is not satisfied and still confused. Kei can ask again. To be sure, mom and dad are now like brothers. All for Kei."


Keiko nodded slowly. "Key won't ask again."


Kailani heaved a sigh of relief, as if she had just slipped away from a chest-stifling crush. He knew the answer he gave was just a formality. But then again, he himself did not know a simple language to convey the story of his time with Kenzo which would be bitter if heard by Keiko.


Kailandra smiled faintly. A little disappointed, as it turns out Kailani has not yet spoken openly about Kailandra's true position on Keiko. But the man tried to stay positive. This is a very serious and sensitive issue. Keiko's mental maturity, must be thoroughly prepared in advance.


"Now it's Oppa's turn to answer about dedek twins, Kei. So look, that grandpa was born from a very extraordinary woman. Okay, tough, just great. The capital of the great Grandpa is exactly the same as Kei. That's why Oppa entrusts mother to raise the dedek twins" explained Kailandra while looking at Kailani.


"One day Oppa will introduce. Patience, yes. Wait for the right time" promised Kailandra.


Keiko's face instantly changed upon hearing Kailandra's reply just now. Even his eyeballs were glazed.


"Key, why sad?" Kailandra inched back to stand in front of his knees in order to be right against Keiko.


Keiko shook her head lazily. "That means that Kanaya and Kanaka's parents are not dead?"


"Of course not yet" Kailani said quickly.


"So Mother and Oppa can not marry, dong. Kara said, if Dedek twins already do not have a Mother, Oppa married just the same mother. Like Kara's mother who married Kino's father." Keiko mentioned the name of her friend who often exchanged stories with her. It could be said, Kara is Keiko's best friend who has the same background as her. Where Kara's mother who was widowed because of divorce lived, remarried to Kino's father who was divorced dead.


Kailandra and Kailani suddenly felt the throat become dry and itchy. Both compact issued a coughing sound that can no longer be held.


"Same mother Oppa ate what? Why cough?" Keiko squinted her two eyes to make the tips of her eyebrows fuse together.


"Oppa get some water first." Kailandra hurriedly stood up and stepped out of the room. He could not face the next conversation. With Keiko's unpredictable thinking and instead trapping, Can - can she run out of words to answer.


"Mother don't take drinks either? Keiko is done asking."


Kailani rushed to leave Keiko's room as well. This time he chose to close the door of his eldest daughter's room tightly. Then he approached Kailandra who was sipping a glass of water at the dinner table.


"Bang, we need to talk" Kailani said.


"It wasn't me who taught Keiko to say that, Kai. I swear, that was Keiko's own thinking. I'm also surprised he can think that far." Kailandra said it because he thought Kailani must have thought that she had poisoned Keiko's mind.


"Bang, that's not what I want to talk about. I believe the conversation was purely Keiko's own thinking. That's why I feel like we need to talk about this seriously." Kailani pulls the bench next to Kailandra.


"Thank God then. Kai, it looks like Keiko's circle of friendship is too mature and complicated. They talk about such a serious thing at their age. Did we just transfer Kei to another school?"


"Situation sometimes requires a child to be sensitive and mature faster than his age, Bang. In fact, Keiko since childhood has indeed grown up with the condition of parents who are not intact. Without us explaining, we indirectly forced him to understand for himself what had happened. Coincidentally there is a friend who also has the same fate as Keiko. So maybe they exchanged a sigh."


"Kai .. This is new Keiko. In the future, Kanaya and Kanaka also did not rule out the possibility of asking the same thing. Can't you just get married? I want to offer up and ask you to be my wife. But it feels too presumptuous. After all, I was afraid that my mother's words about my life that would never be happy because it didn't get her blessing came true. I don't want my wrong doing to lead you into trouble. Maybe Kalvin deserves your consideration."


Kailani fell silent while massaging her own head temple. Trying to get his brain thinking hard and fast to deal with the situation this time. The shadows of Kailani, Kanaya and Kanaka continue to cross each other in thought. Their sinless face, made her feel even more guilty for giving a social status that is not legally clear or real.


"Are you sure I'm getting married for the better?"
