Bond of Love
24

The next day, Shanum prepared to go to campus. His profession is a lecturer, making him have to deal with students who are super active and sometimes annoying. Not a few students who tease Shanum because they know the woman is still single.

And last night, he went back to sleep because there were a lot of considerations he was thinking about. Especially after calling his family and they say if the decision is in his hands.

On one hand she feels alien to Ben and his family, feeling strange if suddenly having to live with her husband and son. But on the other hand, it was as if the heart kept struggling to choose close to them especially Mikayla.

"Are you ready, miss?" The sound of Nonic made him flinch because he was daydreaming.

"A minute, Nik"

"I'm waiting in the dining room, non"

"Yes" Shanum replied wistfully, then tidied back his clothes before coming out.

Along with him closing the room door on his way out, the phone inside his bag rang. He grabbed it to see who was calling.

Mr Ben??

Furrowing his lips, his eyes moved uneasily and wondered if the man had called this early in the morning.

Curiosity made his finger unconsciously shift the green icon.

"Hello"

"Hallo mommy" Mikayla called him.

"Kay!"

"I said daddy, mommy's working, huh?"

"Hey, baby, why?"

"Genma, uncle same aunty already home, they want to meet, mommy will come after work huh"

"But mommy's busy, mommy can't come"

"Daddy is busy too, but can go home. Why can't mommy? This is mommy's house too"

"Later mommy ya doin"

"Bring mommy clothes, so mommy doesn't have to go back and forth. We'll stay together"

Mikayla's words made her return in a confused feeling.

"Genma, uncle same aunty also want to move, so later his house is quiet. Kayl is the same if not the same mommy"

"Wanna move?"

"Yes, mommy's gone home and moved in"

"Why move, you can stay"

"Kata genma, just want to move live with uncle and aunty"

"Where are you moving?"

"Not far from our house mom, just down one stairwell. So the genma house is downstairs, our house is on it"

"Kayl, let's go son" Suddenly Shanum heard Ben's voice from behind the phone.

"Yes daddy" Sahut Mikayla. "Mommy, Kay went to school, Kayl asked daddy to pick up mommy. Mommy can get ready first before daddy picks her up"

The woman was unable to answer. He was silent before the voice of the princess came back.

"Okay mommy bye-bye"

Taking a deep breath, he closed his connection after greeting and advised to be careful.

"We're leaving, Nik" Shanum said in the dining room.

"Neither miss"

Morning changed by noon. During the teaching, Shanum was completely unfocused, and this was the first time he had felt such a great sense of uneasiness. Finished teaching he returned to his room where there was already a Nonik who was struggling in front of the laptop. In addition to being his assistant, who was assigned by the Emir to always accompany the princess, he was also appointed by Shanum to be an assistant lecturer. Nonik will replace him teaching if he has interests that cannot be left behind.

"It's over, miss?" Nonik glanced at Shanum at a glance then turned off the laptop and folded it.

"Already" Shanum replied as he walked towards the work chair.

"Nonik, can you replace me teaching after this?"

Nonik did not immediately answer, because he was surprised by the request of his superiors.

"Why, miss?"

"I'll be home early and packing my clothes_"

"Wrapping clothes?" Cut the Nonik while stepping towards Shanum's desk. He then sat in the chair in front of his superior table.

"I chose to stay with them according to the solution you gave me yesterday"

"But that's not my main hope, Nonik. Although my memory is difficult to return, or even impossible to remember, the most important thing is Mikayla. The child who came from my own womb, my flesh and blood"

"Yes, and I'm sure the lady will be happy to be in the middle of Mikayla and Mr. Ben. So will mister Ben and Mikayla, they will definitely be very happy that the lady is willing to come back and stay with her"

"Is this my decision right, Nonik" Shanum asked with a serious face.

"Very precise. And if the lady feels troubled, there is no need to hesitate to share it with me. One hundred percent I'll try to help miss solve the problem miss"

"Thank you, Nonik"

Nonik nodded before then replying. "Well, ladies, I'm happy if you're happy"

"It's lucky I have a partner like you"

"I'm lucky to have a boss like a miss"

"You could" Seloroh Shanum.

The two smiled in support of each other.

"What time is Miss going to Ben's? If you're willing, miss can wait for me to come home and I'll drop you off"

"No idea, Nik. When do you think I'm going?"

"How about before dinner. I'll drop you off, and we can cook for dinner at Mr. Ben's"

"Said Kayl there is a genome, is it not presumptuous if we are the ones who cook"

Again, Nonik gave a smile to remember that he had not told the lady that her mother-in-law was a humble person.

"Mother Merry is nice, she even knows me"

"Bu Merry" Suddenly there was a frown on Shanum's forehead.

"Mother-in-law miss, mama's Mr. Ben"

"Name Merry? Isn't he nice?"

Nonik nodded with a steady expression.

"Where do you know he's good?"

"I used to accompany Ms. Anita and Mr. Emir to visit Miss Macau. We visited more or less three times" Nonik recalled the events in the past. "First of all, when the new lady was two weeks away with Mr. Ben's family. Because you are not used to being away from Miss, Ms. Anita missed misses so much when you were two weeks apart, so we flew from Jakarta to Macau. The second during the four-month event, Miss pregnant, the third at the age of seven months of pregnancy. And we'll come back when miss gives birth, but we haven't had time to come, we've heard the painful news about miss's accident" Tonik's voice echoed when he said about the accident.

"I'm happy because finally Miss and Mr. Ben can be rediscovered after almost six years" added Nonik feel grateful.

"But even so, the feeling of worry remains, Nonik"

"I don't think Miss has to worry about anything, Mr. Ben will definitely be able to handle it"

Nonik stared deeply at his upper body. "What are you worried about?" look at it with an intimidating look.

"Regarding the Fabian version of the story you told yesterday"

"Miss can ask Mr. Ben, for Mr. Ben's own version of the story about Mr. Ben's KDRT. And whatever the story from Mr. Ben, I'm sure that's the truth"

"Is that sure you're with Mr Ben?" Ask Shanum. Now replace him who looks at the assistant full of probing.

"Yes miss, even she was so honest and trustworthy while devoting herself to Lord El. It was Mr. El who praised him himself, that's why I believed in Mr. Ben so much. Besides, Mr. Ben also loves Miss very much"

Taking a deep breath, Shanum leaned his back on the back of the chair.

"I believe in you, Nonik. I'm sure you're not careless with anything you said just now"

Silent for a few seconds. Shanum closed his eyes with both hands, resting on his stomach. Nonik himself looked at the dark-looking face of his boss.

May the lady be happy, the memory of the lady may return so that the lady may tell her the true events. We were very curious about the lady's own version of the story. We are very curious to see if Fabian is the cause of all this.

If Mr. Ben never torture until miss experiencing high level depression as alleged by Mr. Fabian to Mr. Ben, that means that all this time we have been lied to by a man who hitchhiked a name in the Atmajaya family.

"Happy new life, miss" Nonik said after interacting with his mind.

Shanum's eyes opened, scanning Nonic's face that was scattering full of smiles.

"I'm married" she said.

"Whatever it is, the lady will live a new life with her husband and biological children"

"I still don't believe this is all Nonic"

"But that's the truth, miss. Miss is married to Mr. Ben, and has a daughter"
