"By the way, I heard Keara is about to give birth soon. What will Aiden do with her?"
"I don't know what he will do. But I will never let Aiden bring the child into this house," Anya answered.
"If he dared to hurt my daughter, I will scold him for sure," Diana snorted.
Anya laughed seeing her mother. "You really love me the most. But I'm fine, Mom."
"Indah loves you too. She only has one child. Don't be so cold to her. She is still sick and needs your support to recover. Only you can give her strength to live. I will not be jealous, because I know that I'll always be in your heart." As she said this, Diana's eyes turned red.
Anya hugged her mother very tightly and cried in her arms. God was very good for giving her the best mother.
When Indah woke up in the evening, Galih called Aiden again.
Actually, he had saved Anya's number, but he was worried that he would disturb her rest so he decided to call Aiden.
If Anya was resting, Aiden could reject their call.
"Mrs. Diana is also here. Do you want to talk to her?" Aiden asked.
"Yes please," Galih nodded.
Aiden took his cell phone to his room. He knocked on the door first because Diana was inside. "Mother, Uncle Galih wants to talk to you."
Anya looked nervously at Diana. She didn't know what Galih wanted to talk to Diana about.
Diana patted Anya's hand, trying to calm her down. "Come in, Aiden."
Aiden entered his room and gave his cell phone to Diana. He sat beside the bed and held Anya's hand gently. "Aunt Indah is awake."
"What do you think I should do?" Anya asked while looking at him.
Aiden kissed her forehead and whispered, "I will support all of your decisions."
Diana saw Galih's old face from the screen. During the past two years, the man seemed to age very quickly from being too tired.
"Is Indah alright?" Diana asked.
"Thank you for your concern. The operation is running smoothly and now she is awake," Galih replied.
"Good. Anya is the child of all of us. As parents, we have to take care of our health to show our love for her. Now, let me make it clear. I raised Anya alone. It's true that your wife was the one who birthed her, but Anya is still my daughter. We need to take good care of her from now on," Diana said deliberately.
"Diana... Thank you," Galih's eyes looked red and his voice was a bit choked when he thanked Diana.
"The three of us are Anya's parents, and her children will be our grandchildren too. Let's raise them together," Diana said with a smile.
"You have raised Anya so well. Indah is very grateful to you. She said that after she recovered, she would come to thank you in person," said Galih.
Diana nodded. "You get lots of rest too. Don't thank me. I'll come home soon. You talk to Anya first."
After that, Diana handed over her cellphone to Anya and got up, "Aiden please take me home."
Aiden looked at Anya worriedly, but his wife just nodded her head.
After that, Diana immediately pulled Aiden out of the room.
When he went downstairs, Aiden just understood Diana's intention. "Did you take me out for fear that Anya would be embarrassed with our presence there?"
"Do you think Anya doesn't want to acknowledge her parents? She was just ashamed and felt guilty towards me. She felt like she would be betraying me if she acknowledged someone else as her mother. You don't need to take me home, just wait until she finishes her call and take good care of her. Give them some time to talk first." Diana took a deep breath then Abdi escorted her home.
Aiden looked at Diana's back as she returned home. It was at this time that he understood how deeply Diana loved her daughter.
She might not be Anya's birth mother, and her blood wasn't running inside Anya's veins either. But her love for Anya was no less than that of Anya's biological parents.
It could be said that Diana's love for Anya was the most sincere form of love.
...
In the evening, Nico and Tara came to have dinner with them. Nadine also arrived, while Harris was late because he had to work overtime.
When he arrived, Harris unexpectedly brought news for them.
Keara would give birth to her child soon!
"Why are you looking at me? Eat!" Anya felt everyone's gaze on the table towards her.
She tried to stay calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Auntie, are you alright?" As she was closest to Anya, Nadine felt so worried about her.
"What can I do? That child is Aiden's. Hurry and have a look. It's your child after all," Anya said in a low voice.
Aiden looked at Harris coldly, making him sit upright in his place. "Sir, did I speak wrong?"
"No," Aiden replied curtly.
"Uncle, are you going to the hospital?" Nico asked.
"Go. The child is innocent," Anya felt so unwilling, but she pretended to be generous.
"I really want to open your head and see what's inside your brain. Who is Keara? What does it have to do with me if she gives birth to a child?" Aiden said angrily.
"She said her child is yours," Anya said in a low voice.
"That's right, uncle. Even if she conceived it in the wrong way, it's still your child," Nico nodded his head.
Tara was very upset to hear it. "I should have given her the abortion pills. How could I wait for her to give birth?"
Nico looked at his fiancée in terror. "Tara, you are so scary!"
"If you have a child with someone else, I'll abort the child and then kick you in the crotch so you can never have another child!" Tara's face flushed as she imagined Nico doing the same to her.
If she were Anya, she would never be able to forgive Aiden.
Nico was so scared he almost fell out of his chair.
Meanwhile, Aiden knew that Tara's words were actually directed at him.
Anya trusted him so much that she could ignore the fact that Keara was pregnant with his child. But Tara and Anya's relationship was very close. As her best friend, Tara couldn't accept what Anya was experiencing. She felt that Anya deserved better than this.
"That child is not mine. Let's continue to eat. Nico, Harris, you guys can come with me later," Aiden said in a deep voice.
Tara looked towards Anya carefully. "Anya, I will come with them and see for you."
"I want to come too!" Nadine said.
Anya laughed hearing that everyone wanted to come with Aiden. "Go, all of you. But remember, that child is innocent."
"I don't know if you are too good or too stupid," Tara glared at her friend in annoyance. How could Anya still laugh until now?
After dinner, they all went together, leaving Anya alone at home.
The air conditioner in the room was not turned on because Aiden didn't want Anya to be cold, but somehow Anya still felt cold when she sat on the sofa in the living room.
She felt cold because she was nervous.
She felt cold because she was so scared.
Hana saw Anya take a blanket to cover her body. She immediately brought warm milk for her. "Anya, are you cold?"
"Mrs. Hana, do you think Aiden will bring the child here?" Anya asked in a trembling voice.
"Anya, you have to believe in Aiden. If he says that the child is not his, it means that the child is not his," Hana held Anya's hand gently, trying to both calm her and warm her.
At the same time, Tara made a video call to Anya.
"Tara, what's wrong?" Anya asked.
"I just saw Keara's daughter. Her child is so ugly. Do you want to see it?" Tara said in disgust.
