Second to Me and to You

Fulfill promises

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

Aaron looked at the beautiful face of his one-to-one biological child, his beloved daughter, so full of love, one tear fell without being asked, as well as Amelia who was the late friend of Aaron's house, they stared at Alice's beautiful face that was sleeping so soundly.

" mi" said Aaron greeting his wife

" Hm" said Amelia just cleared her throat

" does Icha think of me as a failed father "

" up to - up to several times unable to protect Lolly "

" even a few times Lolly was on the verge of death" said Aaron in a voice that shook violently withstanding his sobs, Amelia knows that the husband is currently punishing himself as some time ago when Lolita was declared missing, Amelia quickly approached Aaron and hugged the body of the husband

" no "

" Icha always feel proud of you, baby "

" you're a great dad "

" you have fulfilled all the requests of Icha "

" and I'm pretty sure 'Icha will always protect Lolly, and we'll always pray for Lolly "

" and you have fulfilled the promise to Icha" said Amelia to calm Aaron's heart while patting Aaron on the back while hugging Aaron's body,

" thank you "

" always by my side, Lya" said Aaron in a soft tone of voice, and Amelia nodded her head

" what about Yudha ? "

" when will he come here ? " say Aaron

" the day before the ijab kabul event "

" because of these few months, Evan had suspected Yudha who often came here "

said Amelia

" Hm "

" Evan has a keen instinct for some things that he considers important" said Harun exhaling heavily

" on the end of Lolly's wedding, we have to go home "

" if not, I'm afraid something bad will happen to Lolly "

" and it's endangering Lolly, I don't want Lolly to get involved with those who just get Lolly hurt" Aaron said

" have even to separate Lolly from her two children ? " said Amelia with a sad face

" yes "

" for my son, Lya "

" understand "

" it's hard for me..."

" it's hard, but I don't want to lose Lolly again" said Aaron, who was saddened by his choice not to tell Rio and Boy where Lolita was,

" i'm sorry "

" i don't blame your decision at the time "

" and yet one day we have to explain everything to Rio and Boy "

" if not , then they will hate us for the rest of their lives" said Amelia reminding her husband, and Aaron nodded his head after examining the words of his wife

It is not Aaron's fault for hiding Lolita's identity that has changed to Alice's, nor for hiding Lolita from Lolita's loved ones in the past, it's just that Lolita's life is a top priority for Aaron. And as for why Yudha knew this, even then, without any intentionality, the passports of Aaron and Amelia lying on the nightstand fell down, Yudha was a little curious as to why there was a passport after two months of Aaron's recuperation, and it was a trip abroad, in a hurry for Yudha to meet the mother, questioning that certainly makes Yudha haunted by curiosity.

Inevitably Amelia is forced to be honest after Aaron gives his wife a code to explain everything they know and do while on a trip abroad, and that certainly made Yudha obeyed

And without feeling Yudha sitting on the sofa with teary eyes, Amelia knew that since the first Yudha had been harboring feelings of love for Lolita since she was a child, she knew, because Amelia and the late Icha were old friends, even the distance of their house was close at that time, but a few years later Amelia came with her husband because she moved to another city. Unexpectedly, Amelia returned to the city of S with grief in her heart when she was divorced by her husband who already had another woman in their marriage, while Icha at that time had suffered from non-hodgkin lymphoma, is a type of cancer that attacks lymphocytes, which makes the body of the sufferer increasingly lose weight, the body, and the swollen lymph nodes that Icha thought were just a common disease, but after Icha checked her health, Icha had to accept the fact that she would not be around much longer, the only one who knew of the illness was himself. Until Icha often asked Amelia to take care of Icha at that time, until the moment before her death, Icha asked Aaron to marry Amelia, and Icha entrusted Lolita to Amelia, who was the only one who had died, without them realizing Icha's request had hurt Yudha who had loved Lolita since they were children

The marriage of Aaron and Amelia had scratched the wound in the deepest recesses of Yudha's heart, until Yudha decided to pursue her undergraduate education in another city and chose to marry a woman who loved her, because his love is only for Lolita. Fate asks him to give up his feelings for the mother, although it is lawful for him to marry Lolita but it would be strange if he married the daughter of the father, therefore Yudha decided to harbour her own feelings,

back to the present, now,

Aaron breathed out his breath, seeing the peaceful face of his beloved son, by stroking the top of Lolita's head,

" what about Yudha ? " say Aaron

" like that, mas "

" even without us, he often came here despite having to disguise himself as Edwards' bodyguard "

" i feel guilty for Yudha, mas" said Amelia softly

" not you "

" but we "

" we made a mistake, when we betrothed them since childhood, without us knowing it turns out Yudha has loved Lolita since then" said Aaron mutely

" we are simply living the destiny God has described for us, mas "

" and we fulfill it with sincerity and patience in the face of all things "

" never regret anything, should we also regret the marriage of Yudha and Indri ? "

" pity our grandchildren, then, mas "

" meaning that we have regretted their presence also "said Amelia wisely, making Aaron say the sentence istighfar, feeling the khilaf had regretted some things that God had set as a destiny that they had to face.

" it's already "

" let's take a break, baby" said Amelia who had moved to a different side with Aaron

They enjoyed the last nights of Lolita being single, as when Lolita was about to marry Evan at the time, they chose to sleep together as they are today. Aaron kissed the cheeks of his daughter, as well as Amelia, his love was so great to Lolita that he took care of Lolita since she was a child, in addition to her mother's best friend, Amelia also a close neighbor of her mother, Amelia, it was not uncommon for Lolita to visit Amelia's house if she wanted to, even sleep with Yudha, Lolita's innocent horn at the time.

In a different room, though,

" is Edwards going to do a bachelor party ? " valerie said with a laugh

" he's a widower "

" there has never been a widower's party, my Queen" Thomas said with a satisfied laugh, and Valerie joined in laughing at Thomas's words

" i'm not sure you're capable of making fun of Edwards in front of him" Valerie said after finishing her laugh

" that was before, baby "

" now Edwards is much more relaxed "

" and more humble, at least Edwards can communicate with us and our extended family" Thomas said as he fixed the blanket that would cover his body

" you're right, Thom" Valerie said

" by hijrah make our feelings more peaceful "

" and our families become harmonious "

" and God gave us Alice" said Thomas, who bore a nod of the head from Valerie

" may God always protect us" Valerie said in her sleepiness, and the two of them guaranteed simultaneously before they were lulled into their dreamland
