CHARTER GIRL CHAIRMAN
WHOSE SON?

The shiny black alphard stopped in front of a second-floor building with red brick ornaments. Various ornamental flowers ranging from anturium, aeonium, eviciera, as well as moon orchids appear to decorate the porch.

An old man with a t-shirt and a sarong draped over his shoulder stood up, raising his eyebrows while watching who was visiting this afternoon.

"Dad ...!"

Gawking, a beautiful woman whose hair is now cut short five inches below the ears looks a big smile, so sweet in a black turtleneck sweater wrapped around her slender body.

"Zachira's? Oh my God ...!"

The old man spontaneously hunted, intending to hug his daughter who had not returned home for months. But only a few steps suddenly stopped.

The pair of eyebrows were tied while the little boy's head was peeking out of the car. "Who is he?" His eyes looked in. He demanded an explanation from his daughter.

Zachira had expected father to react thus. He took a breath, trying to stay calm. After asking Mr. Min to drop off all the luggage and luggage, he carried Zio, slowly approaching his father.

"Let's Zach explain." Said slowly. Although he still wanted to ask, the old man broke the intention. Clearly trying to nod while helping his daughter carry things into the house.

"Russia ... Zavier ... Zaydan! Look who's coming ...!" The father shouted to his three other children.

A teenage girl with chirped hair ran down a wooden staircase. "Sister Zach!" Call her excited, hurriedly hugging her brother. Zhachira hugged back, though the hug was not long as Zio whined out of breath.

"Loh ... Whose child are you carrying?" Zalina looked confused. Watching the little boy who was clearly indosy in front of him.

"Zach ... go home too you!" Zavier and Zaidan, his twin brothers from the other side of the house. Hunting down their sister while taking turns hugging. Just the same, they also questioned the child who is now in Zachira's arms.

"Looking ... later Zach ulasin, now can Zach not rest first?" The girl threw a clear face, she was so tired, the Jakarta-Bandung trip was not a short trip.

"You're there, let Zalina prepare dinner." Dad flicked his arm. Throwing meaningful gazes at the three Zachira brothers.

"So how's Zach?"

That night after eating together they sat together on the front porch of the house. Enjoy a cup of jasmine tea with sugar cubes. Zachira shifted the uncomfortable sitting, it felt like she was currently in the courtroom. The three brothers and his father stared straight, waiting for an explanation.

The girl swallowed the saliva, confirmed the heart and then explained everything.

For a while, after the long explanation that came out of Zachira's mouth everyone on the porch was silent, not making any sound. Because of the silence, only the rancor of crickets and other night animals that sound soft between the dark of night.

"Have you lost your mind?" Zaidan looked at his sister sharply.

Zachira blinked, only this time her brother spoke in a quite sharp tone.

"Zach doesn't have a choice, brother," the girl shook her head weakly. Recall how he was stunned to find a job after being cheated by the worker's agent.

"You can go back to Zach! Me and Zaidan can support you even for a lifetime! Why did you choose to work as a hired girl?!" Zavier's breaking the table. Really upset.

"Sister is still young, the future is still long, why should you pretend to be the mother of a toddler?" Zalina who usually did not ask much, that night also questioned the decision her brother had taken.

"What if her mother comes again? What would the boy think of you if one day he knew you weren't his mother?"

Zaidan's question was so severe. For a while Zachira was silent. It was obvious that the possibility often crossed his mind. After so far ... what happens if until the woman who gave birth to the child returns in the lives of Allandra and Zio?

"Not only don't want you to get hurt one day Zach, pretending to be a mom is very different from being a real mom." Zavier added.

Zachira lowered her head, yes, she knew all that too. Sooner or later Zio will finally know himself that he is not the son of Zachira Djuanda. The woman who has claimed to be her mother is just a babysitter who is paid to be called a mother by herself.

And that's definitely not an easy thing to accept.

***

"Not slept?"

Zachira who was in the middle of the night was still staring at the window frame of his room turned his head, father knew had entered the room, fixed the location of the blanket of the boy in his daughter's bed. Brushed his head briefly before approaching Zachira and stood next to her.

"Why didn't you ask?" The girl turned her head, looking at the man who in his old age still looked gallant.

Since then he thought hard why the father was just silent when Zachira's brother and sister said various things also advised him who was considered wrong in making a decision.

Dad raised a line of smiles, "dad only remembers your mother, for father .. You were exactly with your mother 28 years ago, when you first met Zavier and Zaidan." He said, looking up, looking for a smile full of tenderness from the woman he loved above the night sky.

It's no secret, Zachira knows that her two twin sisters are only half-sisters, not a single mother. Father's first wife, died giving birth to his two brothers. A year later, I finally met my mother. They decided to get married and live a household for decades.

"Zalikha first fell in love not with me, but with my two sons. To him, Zaidan and Zavier are angels sent into his life. She married me and decided to be a mother to my two children. Lifetime commitment."

Zachira sighed, clearly her position was different from that of mother. He's paid! And it's impossible for a man named Allandra to be her husband like a father.

"How's father? Did he treat you well?"

Zachira returned. He didn't think his father would ask about it. For a while he glared, staring at the cluster of stars up there, clearly it was sirius.

He recalled how the treatment of a man named Allandra at the beginning of their meeting, was not a pleasant treatment. Also how the men behaved during their stay in one roof.

"She .. she's good well, just yes she's a little hard." Zach smiled a little.

"Males are so, unique and difficult to understand. However, it is still inferior to you, women who are more complicated and difficult to understand how her mind goes." Father added, it seems he knows very well what Zachira calls 'somewhat difficult.

"Yes, you better rest .. tomorrow morning we'll just walk the farm." Saying father while rubbing Zachira's coconut slowly, saying goodbye after saying good night.

Zachira smiled faintly, looking back at the night sky outside the window frame.

"Allandra ... What are you doing now?"
