"Your smile is so sweet. You already missed Nico, huh!" Anya teased. "Nico is so overly confident. Look how many selfies he sent!"
"Last night, he pretended he didn't want to leave me. But now that he's gone, he seems really happy," Tara pouted.
"You still have me!" Anya hugged her, smiling.
"I want to eat a lot today!" Tara said irritably.
Anya laughed and nodded happily.
…
In the afternoon, Aiden took them to a restaurant.
The food served was very good. Not only Anya, even Arka and Aksa ate their meals voraciously!
"I think, when I come home at the end of the month, I will really be fat like a pig." Anya was very satisfied with all the food she ordered, but she was also worried about her body.
"You're not fat, don't worry. We can still go on a diet together," Tara said, winking at Anya.
"Maybe I'd better eat less," Anya replied.
Arka and Aksa were very messy while eating. At first, Indah wanted to feed them, but Aiden said let them eat alone.
The twins sat in baby chairs with special tablewares for children on top of their table. Seeing the people around them, Arka and Aksa followed to eat with their own hands.
However, using cutlery was too difficult for them. Finally, Arka and Aksa threw their cutlery and used their hands to eat happily.
After the two of them finished eating, the nurse washed their hands and faces, then changed their clothes.
Arka and Aksa then looked handsome and clean again in the blink of an eye.
After that, Aiden gave them fruit juice. They looked very calm while enjoying their drinks. The straw helped them to not dirty their clothes like before.
…
The next day, Aiden came home and went back to work.
Before going home, Anya asked him to bring a lot of spices and mushrooms for Diana as gifts. There, the mushroom soup was so good that Anya wanted her mother to taste it too.
Ever since Anya found her biological parents, she has rarely been able to accompany Diana. But that doesn't mean their relationship as mother and child is strained.
When Anya finds good food or stuff, she will always remember her mother.
That night, Anya reads a storybook to Arka and Aksa until they fall asleep. After that, she returned to the room and saw the message from her mother.
Anya immediately called her mother on a video call and it didn't take long for Diana to pick up the call.
"Are the kids asleep yet?" Diana asked.
Anya sees her mother wearing a mask and is shocked to see her. It was rare for her to see Diana pamper herself like this. "Mom, you finally want to take care of your skin!"
"Jenny gave it to me. She's staying here tonight," Diana said.
"She already has two mothers, but she still wants to take my mother," Anya grumbled on purpose.
Diana laughed at that. "I'm wearing a mask, so don't make me laugh. Jenny said she didn't want to get married. She's hiding from a guy named Rudi."
"If Jenny doesn't want to marry him, no one will force her," said Anya.
"Anya, isn't this Rudi the ex-lover of your cousin, Agnes? I heard that everything that happened to Agnes happened because of him," said Diana.
"We got to know Agnes because Keara pretended to be her. Indeed, what happened to Agnes happened because Rudi had an affair with another woman. The man was not good. If Jenny doesn't like him, Aiden won't insist," Anya said calmly.
"Aiden already has a plan of his own. The important thing is that you have to be careful," Diana said.
"I'm happy to have two mothers who take care of me and care for me," Anya said with a laugh.
"How is your mother? You have to pay attention to her often. She must be very sad about what happened to your father." Diana also knew that Keara was pretending to be Agnes and wanted to hurt Anya, but Galih was hiding everything. As a woman, she can understand Indah's feelings.
"Mother is a little sad, but she has forgiven dad. Now she just wants to be with me and wait until dad gets out of prison," said Anya.
Diana removed the mask on her face and went to the bathroom with her cell phone. She washed her face and said, "I can understand what your father did. You get to live happily while Keara has to spend her time in prison. Of course he wanted to help his daughter."
"Mother, sometimes I think, maybe because I didn't live and grew up with dad, he doesn't love me as much as he loves Keara. He may even love her more..." Anya didn't dare tell Indah about her thoughts because she was worried that her mother would be sad.
If Indah also feels that Galih loves Keara, who's not their child, Indah will definitely feel very sad.
"As a parent, it's hard to balance it. You are also a mother of two children. One day, when one of your children is independent and the other needs help, of course you will tend to care for the weaker ones. You have to understand that sooner or later, that day will come," Diana said.
Anya was silent hearing her mother's explanation. Actually, if she thought about it, Anya unconsciously helped Arka more often than Aksa, because Aksa was more naughty and often snatched his brother's toys.
Will Aksa feel that Anya loves Arka more than him one day? So what should Anya do if that happened?
"Okay, I won't think too much about it. Now it's just me and her. I will try to understand her better."
Anya feels very lucky to be reunited with her biological parents. She wouldn't abandon her father just because of her problem with Keara.
Diana returned to her room and said, "When Aiden came to my house today, a woman came looking for him."
"Looking for him at your house?" Anya asked, frowning.
"After looking at the CCTV, Jenny recognized the woman. She said her name was Jessica and she used to really like Aiden. Hurry home, don't leave your husband alone here. Otherwise a woman will snatch him away!" Diana said.
"Aiden doesn't like her. Dont worry"! Anya laughed.
"Do you know her?" Diana put down the face cream that was in her hand and looked at Anya from the screen.
"Jessica is not a nice person. Now that she knows you live near the garden, you better be careful. Tell Aiden to monitor the CCTV all the time, who knows if there's any suspicious movement around."
Then, Anya remembered that Jenny also lived there. "Mother, please tell Jenny to be careful too. Don't let anything happen to her."
"Are you saying Rudi and Jessica are working together to harm Jenny?" Diana had heard many stories from Any. Even though she was not directly involved with Atmajaya's family affairs, she could also guess what was going on.
"Jenny doesn't like Rudi, but if something happens between them, Jenny might be forced to marry him, like it or not. Now, Jenny lives at mom's house and mom is responsible for looking after her. It's better if we are more careful. I'll call Aiden. You also need to take care of herself," said Anya calmly.
Diana nodded happily. "My daughter is an adult now."
"I know that I will forever remain your little girl in your eyes," Anya laughs. "It's late. Go to sleep, mom. Good night." After hanging up the phone, she immediately called Aiden.
Aiden was still in his study with a pile of documents. When Anya called him, it felt like all his tiredness had gone. "Anya, did you miss me?"
