Only Raised Children
65. Puckishness Morgan

"Aline?"

Rico stared silently at his girlfriend who came out holding a little girl. Who's that little girl? Various questions now filled Rico's brain, he could not think positively because of the many feelings he felt in his heart at this moment.

Unlike Rico who was surprised to see the existence of Alina with the little girl, Alina smiled at the man in front of her.

"Hi."

The sweet smile that Rico missed for this one week. Although Alina still could not believe and was very curious why Rico could find out his brother's house, but Alina tried to resist the curiosity.

Rico who did not realize Alina's greeting because his chaotic thoughts made him just speechless there. Until the little girl who carried Alina down and pulled her pants, then Rico realized.

"Eh?"

Rico looked at the little girl and Alina alternately.

"Why daydream?" ask Alina.

"Who's this little girl, Al?" asked Rico who began to show his curious look.

Alina smiled. "My nephew."

"Niece?"

"Yes, the son of bang Fian," said Alina again convincingly.

Hearing that Rico immediately smiled with relief. She thought the boy was the secret Alina had been hiding from her all this time, but it wasn't. He almost gymnastics the heart of his negative thinking.

But even though it managed to make him smile, Rico still had so many questions in his brain about who Alina really was. Looks like Rico had to ask about that because he was already very curious.

"What are you doing here?" ask Rico.

"Huh? This is home to bang Fian, Co."

"Bang Fian?" ask Rico again and let Alina know.

So this house really belongs to Alina's brother? If that's true, then is it true if Alina is the son of a rich man? Is this Alina's secret she's been covering up?

Rico was about to ask Alina, but a voice from inside managed to make her undo her intentions.

"Who, Al?"

A woman's voice from inside made Alina take her eyes off Rico for a moment.

"Friends, Brother."

A fella? Rico was stunned to hear Alina's reply. Why did Alina answer like that, was Alina deliberately hiding their relationship or embarrassed to introduce herself to her family? Rico never thought about it, but he did not want to think negatively before Alina explained everything to him.

"Go in, Al. Why stand outside."

"Yes, Brother." Alina looked towards Rico. "Let's go in."

While opening the doors of both houses, Alina went inside the house while holding her niece back. From behind, Rico followed Alina with an erratic feeling. Between disappointed but must continue to think positively to the woman he loves.

Once again, Rico had to trust Alina because she was convinced that Alina would not possibly let him down.

"Good morning" Rico said as he met a beautiful woman who approached them in the living room.

"Morning. Rico huh?" said the beautiful woman.

Rico asserts that although he was actually surprised because the woman knew his name. 

Rico thinks this woman is Alfian's wife and it's possible that Alfian or Alina told him about her. But if the woman knew him then why did Alina acknowledge him as a friend when someone asked her earlier?

Again Rico was astonished by his girlfriend.

"I'm Marisa, wife of Alina's brother. Just call me Brother Ica."

Rico asserted, after that he sat his body after being invited by Ica.

"What do you want to drink, Co?" ask Ica.

"Mineral water, brother."

"All right, just wait a minute. Brother, get it first. Al, accompany Rico yes," Ica later told her sister-in-law.

"Of course, Brother."

"Wife bang Fian huh?" ask Rico.

"Yes, pretty, right?"

"Pretty. But still look forward to you," the answer.

"That's so bad," said Alina with a soft chuckle.

Rico smiled seeing the woman laughing.

Since there was no way he was asking everything that made him curious about Alina now, so Rico tried to be patient until they had time together. Currently he wants to let go of his longing for his girlfriend and get acquainted with his family first.

Seeing Alina so familiar and painstakingly holding the little girl who was currently in her confession, made Rico immediately smile happily. For a moment he could imagine if someday the little girl who played with the beautiful woman was their two children. Given that Rico was already impatient to invite Alina as his lover. Hopefully, this good intention will be carried out immediately without any obstacles. 

Alina who saw Rico smiling by looking at him raised one of her eyebrows. 

"Why you?" tanya Alina dashed Rico's daydream. 

"You fit in so well."

"What's the match?" alina asked because she didn't understand what Rico meant.

"It's good to be a mother."

Alina looked wrong to hear Rico's words, then she gave a small laugh. She was like a mother, he thought.

"Am I like my mothers?" ask Alina later.

"Huh? Where there is, I'm just saying that you're fit to be a mother, doesn't mean you're like moms, honey."

Alina who heard the words of affection from Rico's mouth made her immediately widen her eyes and asked Rico to turn down the volume of her voice. 

"Why?" ask Rico wonder.

"I'm ashamed, I'll be heard with my family."

"You're ashamed I called you darling?"

"Rico, slow down by the way."

"Why, Al? Why should you be ashamed? In front of my parents you're not ashamed when I call you that."

"Yes but this is different, Co. My family has never met you at all, I'm afraid it will be awkward and teased by my brother."

"How come you haven't heard me call you that often?"

"Not bang Fian, but bang Morgan."

Rico had not yet heard Alina's words, suddenly the voice of a man from their right side made them turn their eyes.

"Why bring Bang Morgan?"

A handsome man was seen walking closer to the living room sofa. The handsome man was seen displaying his flat face and looking at Rico without blinking. It made Rico uncomfortable and thought that Alina's brother who was believed to be named Morgan did not like it.

"Why is Morgan here?" alina asked her brother.

"Why can't you come here?" ask Morgan to Alina.

"So, that's not it. Don't you want to rest?" 

"No. You can't rest when you see your brother being alone with a foreign man here."

Hearing Morgan's words Rico felt offended, as if the man really didn't like him. What is this, why does Alina's brother look like he doesn't like her, did Alina say something about her that made the man hate her or was there something she accidentally did that made the man offended? 

But come to think of it as impossible as this was their first meeting. How he offended the man while they had never met and he never hurt Alina. What makes that guy not like it? Rico was very surprised, but he did not want to rush to ask because he did not want to look for trouble. Here he is the guest, who should be polite to the host.

"What the hell, do not need to act that way, really cool."

Now Alina makes a sound while throwing her niece's old tissue at Morgan. He obviously did not like to see his brother judging Rico who now began to look uncomfortable.

"Jeez, Al, this is snot. Why'd you throw it at Abang, that's so dirty."

A few seconds ago if Morgan's face looked flat, now the man's face turned 180 degrees. Right now the man's face did not look like a cold person anymore, but rather like a friendly person.

Rico who saw it was clearly astonished by it. What does all this mean? He did not understand why Morgan suddenly changed the look of his face so quickly and .. I don't know, he really did not understand.
