The Past...Ye

50

Shira's party actually ended a few hours ago. However, Runa has not been allowed to go home by Shira.

He whined even almost cried when Runa said goodbye. Mother and Abay could not even seduce and appease her.

"Dear shira.., Aunt Runa must be tired of Shira's nemanin today. Aunt Runa wants to go home for a break, okay?" pinta Abay seduced her.

Shira's face pouted. "If Aunt Runa is tired, Aunt Runa can be bobo here. Same me. Yeah?"

Abay didn't think his son would ask for such a thing.

Now it's Mom who's trying to give some understanding to Shira. But Shira ran over and hugged Runa.

Runa smiled and asked Shira to go to her room first. He asked Arsan to come out for a while.

" Arsan, don't you mind if I accompany Shira tonight? I can't wait to see him whining like that"

Not immediately assuring Arsan staring for a moment Runa who was in front of him.

As if knowing what Arsan was thinking, Runa tried to convince Arsan that he would be okay later.

"I'll be fine. You don't have to worry"

Arsan nodded with a smile. "I believe in you..."

Runa smiled. "Thank you, huh?"

Runa grabbed Arsan's hand and held it.

"Tomorrow morning I'll pick you up here. I love you..".

Arsan kissed Runa.

"I love you too.."

Although there was little doubt, but Arsan remained confident and believed fully with the woman he loved so much.

Yes, before Runa invites her to Shira's party, Runa first tells about her past with Abay. All that Runa did because he really appreciates and loves Arsan. Runa does not want the dark story of the past will be a misunderstanding later.

Not in disbelief with Runa, Arsan just does not want Runa to get hurt again if he returns to face his past. But Arsan is confident, Runa is able to cope and deal with it.

A painful love story in the past does not want Runa to reveal at all. But somehow the presence of Shira actually brought him forced to enter this family again.

Shira has changed into her nightgown helped by Nur. When Runa walked into her room, Shira smilingly jumped up in joy on her bed.

"Yey, cool.... Aunt Runa bobo here. ye..yey..."

"Shira happy dear?"

Shira nodded.

"Well, is Shira sleeping?"

Shira shakes. "Shira still wants to play Auntie..."

"Shira isn't sleepy? What time is it? Yes already, we play for a while yes, after that Shira must be directly bobo. Ok?"

Shira's anxiety makes Runa also forget that she is a daughter who managed to marry her lover first. Shira really looks happy, she laughs with anxiety.

Abay came in with a glass of milk in her hand for Shira.

"Well, Dad's son hasn't slept yet?"

"Shira again play Well with Aunt Runa"

"Have played all day, still not enough? Shira's voice sounded outside. Yes, it's night time for Shira bobo..."

Shira finally got up and walked towards Abay. Abay took Shira to her bed and handed her a glass of milk.

Meanwhile, Runa takes care of Shira's dolls and toys that are scattered on the floor.

"Oh, the glass is leaking. Shira's thirsty, huh?" Abay chuckles at Shira's clumsy behavior.

Abay then picks up a fairy tale book and is ready to read it to Shira as she does every night to Shira.

As Abay prepares to read a fairy tale for Shira. Suddenly the boy stopped him.

"Tante Runa here. I want to bacain the fairy tale" Pinta Shira, making Runa clumsy.

But he finally complied with the boy's will.

Now he is in one bed with Abay, even though there is Shira in the middle - they still make Runa feel awkward with this situation.

Shira hugs him while being closed while Abay still recites a fairy tale for him. At first glance, the image of a harmonious family in the head of Runa. He and Abay with their little daughter.

Long ago.

Although it seems like tonight happened as he dreamed but Runa no longer hopes to realize the dream.

Somehow Shira can love him so much when they have no relationship and no bond. Or maybe Shira just misses the figure of a mother. Poor Shira, he does not know what - what the story between Runa and his father used to be.

Runa seems unable to withstand his drowsiness, although he actually does not want to fall asleep in Shira's room.

"....the king and the queen lived happily with their beautiful daughter. It's over....."

Abay smiled to himself, realizing that Shira had fallen asleep with Runa beside him.

Abay slowly enveloped Shira and Runa.

Abay stared for a while at a sight that would definitely not happen again later. A very sweet moment where Runa and her daughter live in one house with her.

Abay smiled to himself, but realized it would never be real.

In her gentle rubbing Shira's sleepy hair while hugging Runa. Poor Shira, why do you have to love Runa? I'm afraid if you end up disappointed that Aunt Runa who you already love will never be your mother. Inner Abay.

Abay kissed Shira's forehead. And just stared at Runa for a moment. Abay went back to his own room.
