FIND BABY BOY

FLASH BACK

"Good grief! Whose child is this, Honey?" I was so shocked when I found a boy sleeping in the living room without a mat.

Mr. Oska and I have just returned from the hospital after giving birth to our daughter, Nara. I'm confused about where the toddler boy came from. I put Nara in the baby bassinet and immediately approached the handsome face.

"Maybe someone dumped the baby in our house. Look! The door is not locked," said Mr. Oska.

"Honey, who forgot to lock the door," I replied, then pinched the boy's cheek.

My touch made his eyes open. He innocently smiled at me as he raised his body.

"Hey, you awake? Where did you come from?" I asked enthusiastically.

The cute boy shook his head. I was suddenly confused. I am happy to find a baby boy because the child we gave birth to is a girl. If I take care of him, he can definitely become a brother to Nara. However, I don't know whose child he is and why he is here.

"What's your name?" I asked again.

"Senyo, Mom!"

This handsome toddler named Senyo.

"Senyo, where are your parents?"

"I don't know!"

Senyo pursed his lips. His voice sounded cedal because of his young age.

"Throw away the child, Ranti! You don't just add to our economic burden."

Suddenly Mr. Oska shouted that. Inviting worry in my heart. I have a husband who is so rude. It's understandable if he wants Senyo removed.

"No! Let me take good care of him," I replied firmly.

"Where do we get the money to support her life? After all, we do not know the origin of the child. What if someone intentionally framed us?"

"Don't stop me. I will work to support Nara and Senyo."

"Ah! It's up to you. The point is if the kid throws a tantrum, I won't hesitate to dump him." Mr. Oska came out while slamming the door.

Since then I have switched professions from a housewife to a traveling cilok seller. I used the proceeds to finance Nara and Senyo's life. Don't ask where is Mr. Oska's responsibility. Since the beginning of marriage the man only gave me ten thousand per day. I have to save money to survive.

I take care of Nara and Senyo with joy. The three of us often spend time together because Mr. Oska rarely comes home. Senyo takes good care of Nara. Not infrequently he fought with mosquitoes just to protect his adopted sister. I love Senyo as much as I love my own son.

Until one day, when Senyo was seven years old. Mr. Oska in a state of stress because he has repeatedly lost gambling. He brought Senyo to sell to market thugs. Senyo will be a beggar after that. I blocked Mr. Oska's bad intentions. With no choice, I left Senyo at the police post. That way, Mr. Oska will not be able to do things.

He was so angry. Instead, Mr. Oska promised to sell Nara when she was 20 years old.

That incident made me lose Senyo. Every day I visited the police station to see where he was. I dare not ask directly. Afraid of being thought that I had deliberately abandoned the child. Incidentally no one knew when I left Senyo at the police station post.

Time goes so fast. It doesn't feel like Nara has grown into an adult girl and I'm getting older. Nara doesn't live with me either. She lives in someone else's place to distance herself from Mr. Oska who often tries to sell her.

Until one day, Nara returned with a middle-aged man who turned out to be Mr. Johan. My ex-fiancé. Mr. Dandi said that Nara would marry his son, Senyo.

At that time I immediately agreed. I don't know why my heart is so sure and sincerely accepts Nara's marriage. And, all proved when I attended my son's party. I've been taking care of little Senyo for two years and it's impossible for me to forget his face. Apparently, Senyo that Mr. Johan was referring to was the Senyo I had cared for at that time.

Surprised is not playing, but as best I can hide this big secret. Although everything was exposed when Nara came to my house with a diary belonging to Mrs. Rondo. I also just found out that he was the mastermind behind all this. She purposely kidnapped Senyo and put him in my house. Mrs. Rondo wants my life to be more difficult because she supports two children at once. Surprisingly she even exposed her own behavior.

FLASH BACK OFF

Album events 20 years back again. I had told Nara everything as soon as she demanded clarity. In fact, I also said that I was Mr. Johan's ex-lover. At the same time, suddenly Senyo appeared out of nowhere. I was obviously surprised. Now, the husband and wife already know the secret of their parents.

"WHAT? So, are you father's ex?" Senyo asked emphatically.

"Senyo, how come You here?" My daughter spontaneously stood up.

"I purposely followed you. Mom, is everything you said true?" Now, Senyo is walking towards me. His net dipped.

"Why did You follow me?"

"Nara, come on. I'm not in the mood to discuss anything except what Mother just told me," he replied.

These kids really make my heart beat erratically. I was presented with many questions that I had to answer spontaneously. They seemed so curious about my story.

"Senyo, sit down!" I ordered Senyo. The tall man sat right next to me.

"I'm sure you've heard everything though I don't know how long you've been here and why,"

Senyo just nodded resignedly.

"You are a five-year-old boy that my mother took care of at that time. You also always help Mother to take care of Nara. Unfortunately, you disappeared after I put you at the police station when you were about to be sold by my husband and I don't know how you can get back to your parents."

"Mom, I really can't remember everything. In fact, my parents never said that I was actually lost." Senyo pointed at himself.

"Perhaps they don't want to talk about the past,"

"So, is it true that my mom and dad are ex-lover?"

"Yes. All of that is true."

Senyo and Nara looked at each other. I saw their necks heave up and down.

"Why did you break up?" Nara asked.

"Let it be my business. You don't need to know." I have my own reasons why I turned away from Mr. Johan and chose Mr. Oska the poor man to be my husband.

"Mother, I am so grateful that you saved my life. No wonder the first time I met Mom I could feel there was something between us. It turns out that Your are my adoptive mother." Instantly Senyo hugged my frail body tightly. For the first time, I found the man crying on my shoulder.
