The Love That Is Taken

Valentina

"That's her earrings," Jonathan said, pointing to a pair of tiny, circular gold jewels attached to each ear.

Theresia chuckled amusedly. "Oh, yes. I forgot to. So fascinated with this sweet baby," he said as he slicked the baby's cheek repeatedly.

"May I carry it?" ask the husband to offer. Wife nodded.

"Be careful, my mom" he said. "This child is still very fragile."

Jonathan nodded. Theresa then moved the little princess slowly into her husband's arms. I don't know why the man's chest rippled finely when he was so close to the baby who was still red. There is a strong bond between the two of them.

"Wow, you're so flexible holding her, Mas. As if he had been used to it," the wife commented watching her husband cuddle the baby while moving slowly.

The husband heard the compliment. "Will we call this kid, honey? Have you prepared it?" ask her to Theresia.

The woman looked at him seriously. "The child's biological mother sent a message to give her the name Valentina, which means affection. What do you think, Jon? Frankly, I've agreed to make her calm down and give her son to us. Only if you feel less reg, I think it's okay to add the first name you like. Like Cindy Valentina, Monic Valentina...."

"Valentina Aditya!" jonathan made a decision. Valentina's name was used with the addition of her surname. "That name is good. I liked. There is no harm in honoring the request of the birth mother of this child. We should be thankful for his sacrifice. Did you compensate him for the material, There?"

The wife is dumbstruck. "I've already offered a large sum of money for the cost of giving birth and adoption. But.the mother and her family firmly refused my gift, Mas."

"Yes?" jonathan asked. He knew his wife was not a stingy person. Especially for the sake of having a child that has been very much in demand. Theresia must have set up some funds of fantastic value to make up for this baby. But why is it rejected by his own mother and family? Are their lives not very concerned? Bizarrely.

"The Valentina family just asks that we take care of her well and lovingly like their own son, Mas," replied Theresia cf. Matt.

The woman secretly swallowed. He recalled Karin's facial expression earlier this afternoon when she handed Valentina to him.

"I have done a good job, Ms. Theresia," said the girl. His face was still a bit pale. His eyes were so serious. "Please take good care of this child. If possible, I would like to make two requests" he said. Theresia looked at her with pleading eyes.

"I will consider, Karin," the woman in front of him replied indifferently. He was still amazed to hold the tiny baby in his arms.

"First, if possible, give Valentina's name to this child. It means affection. Because he was born as a fruit of his parents' love."

Theresia almost went up and heard the girl's words. Fruit of love? Weepy! How dare you say that in front of me, Cheap Woman! maki the woman is in the heart.

But trying to hold back his anger. He can't mess things up. The baby she had coveted was born and is now in her hands. Soon he will bring her home. The baby will be introduced to her husband as their adopted child.

"Then my second request is, please let Valentina wear those gold earrings until she grows up. If it is not enough, I beg Bu Theresia to be willing to keep it. Give it to my son when he's an adult. Even though he doesn't know his true identity, I want to accompany him through those earrings...."

Karin grimaced to hear the woman's rather high speech. He then said softly, "Valentina and the pain I've been suffering from are absolutely priceless, Ms. Theresia. Never mind. No need to give me anything. Just keep my mother's promise to take good care of my child. Now please leave this place before I become even sadder."

Theresa finally left the room where Karin was treated while carrying the baby in her cradle. His feeling raged incoherently. There was a little guilt in her heart for separating this innocent baby from her birth mother.

But I have no other choice! in my heart to defend myself. This is the only way to save my marriage to Mas Jonathan.

"There, There.... How do you daydream, honey? Think what?"

Jonathan's question instantly awakened Theresia from her daydream. She smiled sweetly and looked at her husband full of love.

"I am amazed by God's kindness to us, Mom," he answered cheerfully. "I am truly grateful for His blessed grace. Reunite us, bless our marriage with the presence of this child.... What more can I ask of him? Everything feels perfect, Mom. That's perfect!"

The husband agreed. He himself felt deeply moved by the goodness of the Creator. Although the path he had to walk to achieve this happiness was very tortuous, but the results were worth it.

Fucked her forehead Theresia lovingly. Then the couple embraced each other.  They stared happily at Valentina who was sleeping soundly in the arms of her biological father....

"Well, congratulations, bro. It's papa now. Bravo!" exclaim Bastian while greeting his best friend. "Now it is rare to gym. So dad's on standby apparently. Hehe...."

Jonathan chuckles. "So papa is not easy. At midnight I had to alternate with There giving Valentina milk. Drink a lot of that kid. Hungry fast anyway. Every two and a half hours you cry for milk. The paper is full fast too."

"Hahaha..., so you want to change your son's diaper too, Jon? Just incredible! Terrible, Man."

"Lha, did you never do that before, Bas?"

"Earlier. But it's rare. I was still a regular marketing guy who was chasing sales every day, Jon. Back home, my body was so tired. The care of my children was entrusted entirely to the wife who was assisted by a housekeeper. Different from you who just have children after financial conditions are established. So you can enjoy the joy of babysitting. Hehe.... By the way, why don't you guys just hire a baby sitter? Let's not be too bothered."

"There you don't want to be" Jonathan replied honestly. "She said she wanted to really enjoy the joy of being a mother. Despite not conceiving and giving birth to her own, my wife really loved Valentina wholeheartedly, Bas."

"Thank God then" chirped the person who suddenly appeared behind him.

Jonathan looked.
