Adopted Children

Vroom!

A luxury car with a well-known brand began to enter the Pelangi Senja orphanage area.

Soon a husband and wife came out of the car with a friendly smile and elegant style.

They are Mr. Charles and his wife Mrs. Arumi.

Mr. Charles Davies is a British man who has lived in Indonesia for a long time. While his wife, Mrs. Arumi Ayuni Subroto or who is familiarly called Mrs. Arumi Davies, is a native Indonesian of Javanese blood.

They came here, because they wanted to adopt one of the children from this orphanage.

"Both Mr and Mrs Davies, please get acquainted with our foster children, may one of the children be lucky and become a member of this very generous Mr and Mrs family." Said a woman who took care of the orphanage. The woman is named Ana Amelia or who is familiarly called Mother Lia.

Mr. Charles and Mrs. Arumi came to this orphanage for the first time. They are regular donors for the last 2 years. Almost every month they provide compensation, or just distribute food for orphans, but strangely they never intervene directly and only tell their assistants to do it.

Even so, Mrs. Lia is often contacted directly by husband and wife, both from Mr. Charles and Mrs. Arumi, even if only by phone or email.

The husband and wife relationship with the owner of the orphanage is very good, even though they have never met in person. And this is the first time couples from various countries have come and can shake hands directly with Mother Lia.

Lia ordered her foster children out, and lined up neatly to welcome the husband and wife.

Mrs Arumi still with her friendly smile looked at the children one by one and got acquainted.

Starting from a fat boy with round eyes and a friendly smile, the boy seemed to show that he really wanted to be his adopted son.

Mrs. Arumi looked closely at the boy's face, still with a smile on her face, Mrs. Arumi did not greet the boy at all, and after that turned her gaze to another child.

Seeing himself being ignored, the boy immediately grabbed the middle-aged woman's hand.

"Mom, I want to be your son, and I promise not to be naughty," said the boy reassuringly.

"Sorry, what's your name?" asked Mrs. Arumi.

"My name is Romi, ma'am." The boy answered.

Arumi patiently sat down and put her knees on the floor, so that her body was at the level of the boy's height, to be even.

"Sorry, Romi, but I'm looking for a daughter, because I already have two sons at home," explained Arumi patiently.

The look of disappointment was clearly visible on Romi's face, for the umpteenth time he was not chosen by the prospective adoptive parents who came.

Arumi rubbed Romi's shoulder for a moment.

"It's okay, one day someone will definitely adopt you as a child, dear," whispered Arumi.

Then from a far corner Arumi saw a very cute girl with fair skin, pointed nose and perfectly round eyes with thick eyelashes. The little girl looked very shy, unlike other children who put on cute faces to choose for adoption, but the little girl lowered her head, as if she didn't want someone to see her face and adopt her.

Arumi looked at the little girl, as if there was a hint in that gaze, and slowly her lips returned to a smile.

And that faint smile had a lot of meaning.

Slowly he walked towards her.

Meanwhile, Mr. Charles, just followed behind his wife, like a bodyguard.

"Hey, Sweet Girl, what's your name, honey?" asked Arumi softly.

"Me-sya, Auntie, Andrea Mesya," she answered hesitantly and stammered.

Mrs. Arumi lifted the girl's chin gently.

"Don't look down, let's smile,"

The little girl named Mesya also opened her lips to expand, even so that smile was able to make her aura of beauty increase.

"So beautiful," Arumi glared at the girl, "perfect," whispered Arumi confidently.

Mesya looks nervous, she is very afraid, if the husband and wife will actually adopt her as a child. He didn't want to leave this orphanage at all. He grew up in this orphanage with great affection.

She felt that just being in this place was enough, there was no need to find a new family.

This orphanage for him is his real family.

Mesya's biological mother died while giving birth to her, while her father did not know where she was, she had no other family. He had heard the news, if the mother's extended family came from Surabaya, but he did not know for sure, the exact location.

"Mesya, will you come with us?" asked Arumi still with a friendly smile.

But somehow even though Arumi is very friendly and looks good, in Mesya's eyes she looks scary, like she is hiding something.

"Mesya dear, Mother asks once again, will you be our daughter?"

Arumi lifted Mesya's chin which was down, then smiled warmly.

"Whatever you want, we will do it, dolls, chocolate, ice cream, whatever we will give, even our full love for you," Arumi assured Mesya.

Then Lia approached Mesya, wanting to give Mesya advice, Lia hopes that this opportunity will not be wasted by Mesya, because Lia really believes that Mrs. Arumi and Mr. Charles are a good and rich family.

Of course, Mesya's life would be better if she wanted to live with them.

"Mesya, you come with Mrs. Arumi and Mr. Charles, right, because if Mesya is with them, Mesya's life will be guaranteed, especially Mesya's education, Mesya wants to be a doctor right?" whispered Lia.

"But, Ma'am. Mesya doesn't want to leave this orphanage, and Mesya doesn't want to be separated from Mrs Lia," said Mesya with teary eyes.

Lia stroked Mesya's hair while nodding, "Yes, I know, but this is for good, Mesya. I want Mesya to be happy and Mesya can realize Mesya's dream of becoming a doctor," Lia persuaded.

Finally, thanks to Lia's words, Mesya wants to be adopted by Charles and Arumi. Indeed, Mesya wanted to become a doctor, so she had to go with her new parents. The lure will support his education as high as possible and will ensure his life is always happy.

Not only that, but Arumi also promised that Mesya could visit this orphanage whenever she wanted.

After saying goodbye to the residents of the orphanage, Mesa was resignedly brought home by Charles and Arumi.

The three of them got into their luxury car, opened the window for a moment and then allowed Mesya to wave her hand.

Mesya waved her hand with teary eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay," whispered Arumi to Mesya.

Then the car drove away from the orphanage building yard.

Mesya's heart calmed a little because, besides her, Arumi kept stroking her hair and hugging her, like a mother with her daughter.

Mesya felt comfortable, even the little girl thought she had misjudged Arumi.

Because in reality Arumi is very kind, and the appearance that looks scary at the beginning of the meeting is just her feeling of being too scared.

"Mesya, what do you want to eat?" asked Arum.

Misa shook her head.

"Oh, yes, mother, there is chocolate,"

Arumi reached into her expensive bag. However, because the contents of his bag were too full, he finally took out the items in it one by one.

"Where is it, wait a minute," Arumi still took out another item.

Then suddenly Arumi took out a small sharp knife, and there was a blood mark on the side of the knife.

Then when Mesya looked closely at her car seat, there were white heels that were also covered in blood.

Mesya is getting scared and confused, wondering who has the heel and also what blood is on the knife and shoe.

"Mesya, why are you daydreaming? It's chocolate honey,"
