Chapter 59 - Approaching Hanin (1/2)

Rere stomped her foot on the floor. Dino stole one more kiss from her. After doing so, the man went to take a shower.

Rere goes to the restaurant first. her stomach growling asking to be filled. Last night because of exhaustion Rere did not eat at all. Dino's actions just now made Rere even more hungry. The kiss drained all her energy.

She walks alone. Unbeknownst to Rere, Bara followed her from behind. The man had been watching Rere secretly since she left the room.

”Why do you seem cranky?”  Bara's greeting woke Rere from her daydreaming.

”Brother.” Rere turned around before she walked beside her brother and took Bara's hand.

”You should've touched your husband's hand, not mine.”

Rere annoyedly let go of her brother's hand.

”Isn't it good to be a newlywed? You wash your hair in the morning. How many rounds did you last?” Bara teases his sister.

”What the hell? Pervert!” Rere pouted her lips.

”Perverted? It's normal talk for married women.” Bara hinted at a sex scene with his finger.

”Stop!” Rere raises her hand as she tries to erase her lewd thought.

”Why?”

”Don't talk about this with me. Where's Leon?”

”Leon is with Dila. They are having breakfast at the restaurant.”

Bara and Rere walked together to the restaurant. Rere already misses her child although they have just separated for a night.

”Leon, My son.” Rere hugged Leon warmly. She picked up the child and spin him around.

Rere was playing with Leon but she stopped when she saw Hanin staring at her blankly. Dila stroked Hanin's hair, understanding what the 6-year-old girl was going through. Dila glanced at Rere.

Rere lowered Leon from his arms and hugged Hanin.

”Hey beautiful,” Rere greeted her stepdaughter. She touched the girl's cheek. She is a pitiful girl. When she was young, she lost her mother. ”Starting from today, I am your mother, dear. I will love you like my own child.”

Dila was touched by the interaction between Rere and Hanin. Even though the girl is still young, Rere is an adult. She could accept Hanin's existence even though she didn't accept Dino.

Hanin took a step back when Rere approached the girl. Rere was saddened by the girl's reaction. Her face changed to see her stepdaughter's reaction.

”What's wrong, dear?” Rere asked the little girl.

”Hanin friends say that a stepmother would only love father and her child. Stepmother never likes stepchildren,” Hanin said timidly.

Dila and Rere were shocked to hear Hanin's words. Dila approached Hanin and picked the little girl up.

”Hanin dear, Mommy Rere is not like what your friends say. Mommy will love you like me. You will be fine, dear. Mommy Rere will be your guardian angel. Isn't it, Mommy?” Dila looked at Rere.

Rere approached Hanin as she handed Leon to Dila.

”Do you want to talk to mommy?” Rere familiarizes herself to be called 'Mommy' in front of Hanin. The child is very beautiful and adorable. Rere easily falls in love with Hanin. The child is obedient and quiet.

Hanin still didn't dare to get close to Rere. His classmates' words were still stuck in her memory. Hanin didn't want to be hit like a stepdaughter in a movie.

”Believe me, dear. Mommy will never hurt you. From now on you are also mommy's child. Hanin and Leon are brother and sister. Mommy will love you like mommy loves Leon. Mommy promises to be a good mom to you. I will try to be your mother and you will try to accept me as a mother.” Rere stroked Hanin's cheek then smoothed her hair.

”Did mommy really want to love me? Did you promise not to pinch and hit me?”

”I promise, dear.” Rere nodded and smiled.

Hanin still has doubts. The little girl looked at Dila with a doubt. After all, Hanin was comfortable with Dila because she was the one who raised her after her mother died.

”Mommy Rere will love you, dear. It is okay. Believe in Mama, right?” Dila convinced Hanin.

The little girl smiled as she approached Rere and hugged her tightly. Rere was touched that the child could accept her as a mother.

Dila was relieved to see Rere's sincere feeling for Hanin. It never crosses Dila's mind that Rere would refuse Hanin's existence. For now, maybe Rere can't accept Dino, but Dila knows that Rere would accept the kid in her life.

”Let's eat with Mommy and Leon,” Rere took Hanin to the dining table. ”Do you want Mommy to feed you like Leon?”
