Bond of Love
Surprised

Two weeks went by, and during those two weeks, there was really no chance of ever seeing Mikayla again. For some reason, Shanum could miss it on a foreign figure who called himself Kay.

His behavior, his manner of speaking and his attitude, really showed that he was not an arbitrary child.

Because it's Sunday, Shanum's still lounging in the room. Unlike the Nonik who have done morning activities such as cooking, washing clothes, and bathing.

The assistant had even twice asked his boss for breakfast as the clock was getting closer at number nine.

Just now that Nonik was coming back to knock on his bedroom door, Shanum had already opened it first.

"N-misses!" The two women stood facing each other in the doorway.

"Sorry Nik, my body is so tired"

"It's okay, miss. Sorry for repeatedly interrupting me"

"Nothing, I didn't feel bothered anyway" Shanum stepped into the dining room, he sat down after pulling one of the chairs and reached out to grab a piece of bread.

"Where's the day off going, Nik?" The woman asked as she smeared jam on her bread.

"I suggest si, better miss rest at home, if you want to go out we can go after lunch"

"But where?"

"Where does the lady herself want to go?" Nonik poured clear water into Shanum's glass.

"What if we look at the cheap market in sam sui po"

"Byeah, miss" said Nonik and then sat in the other seat.

"How many minutes from where we got there?"

"At least ten minutes non"

"Okay, after lunch we go"

"Yes, ladies, we can all shop for kitchen needs"

"Hmm" Shanum only cleared his throat because his mouth was filled with food.

Minutes passed, Nonik stared in wonder at Shanum's face which looked like he was thinking of something.

"Is there anything that disturbs the lady's mind?" Tanya Nonik ventured.

"What do I think, Nik. I miss Mikayla"

"What exactly is that kid? Why can't the lady keep thinking about him to the point of missing him?"

"I don't know either" Shanum replied after swallowing his chew. "The boy was very cute, funny, and also very talkative"

"I wonder how she looks, miss"

"If you see it, I'm sure you'll like it too"

"Oh yeah?" Nonik raised one eyebrow.

"She is beautiful, her parents must be proud to have a daughter as cute as Mikayla, very adorable" Shanum added imagining the little girl's face.

"Hopefully, I'll accidentally meet non"

"Ah that's what I was expecting, Nik. I haven't seen him in almost a month, I don't know what his face is now. But strangely, even though I only briefly met him, I did not forget his face"

"What makes the child think that the lady is his mommy?"

"Near possible"

"Next that, miss?"

Shanum flicked his shoulders in response to his amulet.

"But where is the child's birth mother?"

"The same question, Nonic. I'm also very curious where her real mother is"

"If we meet, we better take it home non, we ask everything then our curiosity will definitely be resolved"

"Huuuuuu... Ngaco you"

Nonik smiled grimacingly. Ridiculous indeed, bringing people's children home. You could say it's a crime, and they could go to jail for kidnapping people's children.

"I'm done" Shanum grabbed the glass and gulped it down until there was nothing left.

"We better go now so that the afternoon can rest" he continued, rising from his seat and walking back to the room.

"Again lady"

"Hmm, prepare"

"Ready" Nonic Tone slightly raised.

At the Harefa residence, Mikayla who wanted to go for a walk did not get a good response from daddy, aunty, and uncle.

On a Sunday like this, the three brothers prefer to rest at home, because the previous weeks they had spent the holiday by walking in Ocean Park.

There is only one person who has not rejected it. The oma, he will force Mery out of the cage to unwind.

The middle-aged woman plans to take the granddaughter shopping to the market, buying kitchen needs for the next week.

"Where do you think we're going?" Ask Mikayla.

"Already dong"

"Where's oma?" The boy was so enthusiastic.

"We're going to sam sui po"

"Hoyee, Kay will buy a lot of stuff"

"Then ask for a lot of money to daddy"

"It's dong" Mikayla even showed me her daddy wallet.

"Where did Kay get that?"

"Kay take it on the nightstand, daddy says tell me to take it and take oma for a walk"

"Then let's let's go" said Merry showing his binarial look.

"Lets go oma"

Two women from two generations came out of their homes.

They headed straight to the bus stop stand because Mikayla wanted to take a double-decker bus.

Until when they arrived at their destination, they both seemed happy to see the goods sold cheaply but still showed the best quality.

Until an hour passed, Mikayla's pair of round beads suddenly caught the figure of the woman she longed for.

Shanum, he was shopping at the meat stand with his assistant.

Without caring about anything and without a second thought, Mikayla took off her hand, then rushed to Shanum.

Not wanting Shanum to suddenly disappear from his presence, the girl silently kept a close eye and followed him without Shanum's knowledge.

While Merry has not realized if her grandson has disappeared from a few minutes ago.

Mikayla herself continued to follow where Shanum's steps were directed, the two women completely unaware that anyone was following her from behind their backs.

Even when they arrived at her apartment after two hours of circling around the market, they had yet to realize Mikayla's adorable figure.

As Shanum and Nonik were waiting for the elevator, they heard a child's voice coming from behind.

"Mommy"

Mikayla's call made them turn their back, only then did they realize that Mikayla was in front of them at this time.

"Mikayla?" Shanum was surprised. He threw a glance towards the outside of the unit. There was no one but the three of them.

So who brought this kid to his apartment?

Shanum's question from the heart.

Not only Shanum who felt confused, Nonik was no less surprised by the existence of Mikayla.

So she's the one who thinks Miss Shanum is her mommy?

It's funny, it's adorable, but why does her face remind me of someone.

Wh who?

The tone was deep while constantly remembering who resembled this child's face.

Feeling unanswered, Nonik ignored the questions that plagued his mind.

"Why is it here?" Shanum asked still with an incredulous look.

"Yes, Kay's been following mommy since at the cheap market"

"What?" pekik Nonik made the netra Shanum and Mikayla compactly scan him. Gaining the gazes of two women at once, he quickly silenced his own mouth.

"Sorry, release" Nonik felt the probing gazes of the two women in front of him were so blasphemous. It means the gaze that comes from one pair of eyes, because their pair of eyes are so similar and there is no difference at all.

"W-how can a little boy follow us, n-nona?"

"He's very intelligent, it's easy for him to do a little thing like this, Nonik" whispered Shanum.

"T-but_"

Ting..

The sound of the elevator made Nonik not continue his sentence.

"We go up first" Shanum said when he saw the elevator door open.

"Kay's coming with mommy"

"Of course, come on!"
