The Step Sister of Tiri

204. Still in the hospital

After the conversation with his wife was over, Hanif contacted his in-laws. She asked Mama Aisyah to return to Kinan's room. However, the middle-aged woman said that she was now in the minimarket. Her father-in-law wanted to buy Adam some snacks.

Hanif also thanked Mama Aisyah. He did not think that way at all, during the trip, the man did not buy any food for Adam. Hanif sighed, he was completely insensitive to the presence of a child.

"How, Mas? Where did you take Adam to?" ask Kinan when the husband closes his call.

"Mama took Adam to the minimarket. Mama said she wanted to buy Adam a snack. Maybe Mama felt sorry for Adam because she just kept quiet, "Hanif replied making Kinan nod.

Not long after, Mama Aisyah came along with Adam. It was seen that the boy was carrying a large bag of crackles with a few snacks there. The boy sat on the sofa and enjoyed the snacks he bought. Adam looks so happy.

He also offered it to Kinan. But the woman refused. He let the boy spend it all by himself. Hanif looked at the wife and nodded, a sign that it was time to talk to Adam.

"Adam, come here for a minute Mama wants to talk," called Kinan while patting the side of the empty bed. The woman wanted to tell the happy news she had to the child

Adam nodded and approached Kinan. Before that he washed his hands first in the sink. The boy sat next to his mother.

"What's up, Ma?" ask Adam a little stiffly. Surely he was not used to the call, but Kinan was quite happy with Adam's efforts to change his call. It was strange at first, but will get used to it later.

Kinan grasped both of Adam's palms, trying to channel the affection he had towards the child. "Darling, soon you'll have a sister. Mom is pregnant now so you will be a big sister!"

"really! So I'll have his friend at home!" Adam cried, and suddenly his face became gloomy.

Kinan could also sense that, he felt strange with Adam's sudden change in expression. Just now the child was feeling happy, now it was immediately sad.

"Why? Does Adam like having a sister?" Kinan watched Adam's face bowing his head. He felt something was hidden from him. The woman also tried to get the son to tell her his true feelings.

"If you don't feel comfortable, tell Mama, don't hold your own."

Adam raised his head slightly and then lowered his head back. He wants to say something. But the boy was afraid to speak. Kinan was still waiting for his son to answer his question.

The woman would not force Adam to answer if the child refused. He didn't want to force something that Adam didn't like. For now it will be difficult to change the character, but over time the child will certainly change by itself.

"Will you treat me like a mother? My mother never tortured me, but after having a child she always got angry and hit me. Is Mama gonna be like that?" ask Adam in a soft voice.

Kinan's eyes glazed over, it turned out that the trauma Adam felt was so great. Even until now, the child remembers everything that happened in his life. Hanif and mama Aisyah could also still hear what the child said. Anyone who heard it would definitely feel hurt.

Although never experienced it directly, but the words spoken by Adam are very painful. Kinan finally shed tears as well. The trauma that the child experienced was still very deep. Although he has been very trying to do good, in fact Adam can not let go of his past.

Kinan tried to smile while raising Adam's face. "See mama? You will never do something that hurts you like your mother did. If one day you do it, remind you that what you do is not a good thing. Although Mama's a parent, but as a human being Mama's also bound to make mistakes."

Adam looked at Kinan, his face serious. However, it did not reduce his meek attitude. "So aunty wouldn't leave me, would she?" adam asked his foster mother.

"God willing, Mama will always love you no matter what. Even though Mama has another child. You are still my first child.

Adam hugged Kinan tightly. He felt grateful to have been raised by the woman. Although Kinan had always shown his kindness, still he was afraid that the woman would change. Especially if you hurt him like he was in his past.

Kinan understood what Adam felt. His trauma had not completely disappeared. All of this will be treated slowly. Hopefully it won't be long.

"Assalamualaikum" said one man when he entered the room, who else if not Papa Hadi. The man smiled with a bag of food crackles.

"Getishalight."

"Why is Papa coming? From anywhere? Don't tell me to stop by first?" mama Aisyah asked with a look at her husband.

"Papa just got out of the restaurant, Ma. Papa knows that you guys haven't had time to eat so, Papa buyin all at once."

"So you know, Mama and Adam ate, just now. This is Hanif who hasn't. If Kinan had gotten out of the hospital," said Mama Aisyah, making Papa Hadi become lethargic.

"That means the food you bought is redundant! Papa forgot to ask if you have eaten or not. Now the food wants to be kept? Time has to be thrown away? Kan dear,” asked Papa Hadi while looking at the food in his hand.

"Just be with Hanif. Later you can give the same nurse Papa, later there will also be someone here to see the state of Kinan," said Mama Aisyah, who then walked closer to Kinan's bed.

"Hanif, you just eat there as papa, let Kinan same mama. Adam want to eat again? If you want, come with Papa," said Mama Aisyah to her new grandchild.

"No, Oma. I am full" said Adam.

Hanif nodded and sat down on the sofa. Papa Hadi sat there first. The man took a box of rice and ate it. "Have you found the culprit yet?" papa Hadi asked quietly, like a whisper.
