Detective Haezel
STILL RELUCTANT

After saying goodbye to Charlotte, Cheryl exits Aileen's house and Randu and Haezel welcome her on the porch. Cheryl let out a long sigh, then thrust her hands at Randu who was already holding the handcuffs.

"Sadist!" Only one word was spoken by Randu to describe what Cheryl had done to Reynold. Randu put the handcuffs on Cheryl's hands, then took the woman into the car.

"Dragon and take care of Charlotte, Ezel!" Cheryl's message to Haezel was just a mute one. Randu and several police officers who were waiting at the airport will go home first and bring Cheryl. While Haezel will come home later with Mayra and Zelyra.

Mami Emily and Papi Galen were home before Haezel met Charlotte. And Haezel's parents still don't know about Charlotte, who Cheryl says is Haezel's real son.

"My advice is, you better get a DNA test to make sure. If qnnti hasipnyq Charlotte is indeed your biological daughter, take care of her! Mayra has also accepted Charlotte and has no questions at all. But suppose Charlotte's not your real daughter, you have two choices. Keep caring for Charlotte on humanitarian grounds or leave her in a well-deserved orphanage."

Long advice from Randu continued to ring in Haezel's mind when suddenly a ball rolled towards Haezel's feet and Charlotte was seen running out of the house to retrieve the ball.

"Om, are you home?" Say hello to Charlotte to Haezel before the little girl goes back into the house and plays again with Tisha, Zelyra, and Kenneth. And Haezel again dissolved in his daydream, until the cry of Zelyra broke Haezel's daydream.

"Dad!" Zelyra immediately jumped onto Haezel's sling and a smile was instantly etched on Haezel's lips.

"Have you eaten?" Haezel asked as she led Zelyra into Aileen's house.

"It's over!" Zelyra answered excitedly.

"That mom hasn't eaten since morning!" Report Zelyra again.

"The time of morning snacking on young mangoes continues Dad!" Zelyra completes her report.

"Times, anyway?" Haezel frowned in wonder.

"Yes! You can get a stomachache if you eat something assem!" Zelyra's chirping again pretentious.

"Where is Trus Mommy?" Ask Haezel again who did not see the presence of Mayra or Aileen around the playground. There's only Tisha and Kenneth's nanny watching the kids. Mbok Sum himself has long retired as ART at Aileen's house and now Budhe from Mayra is choosing to enjoy his old age in the village. There is already ART as well as a new nanny for Mbok Sum's replacement at Aileen's house.

"Lyra doesn't know and Lyra is coming down!" Zelyra answered, pressing her shoulders. Haezel eventually dropped Zelyra on the playground and let her daughter play back with Charlotte, Tisha, and Kenneth

While Haezel went straight to the room to check on Mayra.

"May!" Call Haezel when she sees Mayra coming out of the bathroom wiping her lips with a tissue.

"What's up, Mom?" Ask Mayra quickly.

"You why? It hurt?" Haezel asked worriedly while checking Mayra's body temperature.

"May doesn't hurt, Mom! May's healthy!" Mayra replied, chuckling.

"But Zelyra said earlier that you haven't eaten since morning and said he was just snacking on young mangoes" Haezel did not continue his sentence and looked suspiciously at Mayra.

"What?" Mayra asked pretending not to understand.

"Let's see!" Haezel rubbed Mayra's stomach which was still the same shape as before.

"Is Zelyra's sister here?" Haezel asked as she rubbed Mayra's stomach.

Mayra only thinned her lips and did not answer.

"May!" Haezel again asked Mayra who seemed to deliberately make Haezel curious.

"May also just checked it this morning," answered Mayra finally who immediately made both eyes sparkle impatiently.

"The result is positive, right?" Haezel asked making sure at once impatient.

"Mas see for yourself!"Mayra pulls Haezel into the bathroom and takes a tespack from the drawer and shows it to Haezel.

"Two lines!" Haezel cheered happily and immediately raised Mayra's body so happy.

"How late is it, May?" Haezel asked, who was now cupping Mayra's face so happily.

"Mayra's menstrual cycle fell apart a few months ago. Yesterday was a test because Mayra thought it would be negative again-"

"When did you test and the result was negative? Why didn't you tell me?" Ask Haezel curiously.

"Early that year. Kan May can not menstruate two months in a row. May thinks May's pregnant, uh turns out negative, and then the guest comes."

"My foot ran out of town, got hit by the red cross?" Haezel asked as he chuckled.

"Yes that one! Goofy it up!" Mayra pinched Haezel's stomach.

"Well, did it run out?"

"Will you finish it we'll go overtime. You got another guest?" Ask Haezel curiously.

"It can, but it's been a month like that" Mayra recalled.

"Trus after?" Ask Haezel again.

"Well, May forgot when she had another guest." Mayra's story chuckles.

"Later USG just let me know exactly," broke up Haezel finally while embracing Mayra. Haezel then calms down and kisses Mayra's stomach.

"It seems like it's been two months now" Haezel thought.

"Ck! Now switch professions to become a gynecologist too?" Mayra Cibir.

"Yes! Your patient is doing but!" Jawqb Haezel whose eyes still show the twinkle of happiness.

Haezel seems to have forgotten about Cheryl's case and Cheryl's confession to Charlotte.

"This is going to be our third child, right, Mas?" Mayra asked the next one who momentarily made Haezel's smile fade a little. Mayra knows that Haezel is still not fully accepting Charlotte's presence.

"Mas can't do that! Charlotte will be sad if Mas object like that!" Mayra had joined in and cupped Haezel's face while advising her husband.

"I told Randu to do a DNA test"

"Mas!"

"It's my decision!" Haezel said stubbornly.

"Charlotte doesn't know anything about anything but Cheryl, Mas!"

"Charlotte's just a kid like Zelyra, Tisha, or Kenneth!"

"So whatever the DNA test results are, we still have to take care of Charlotte, Mas!" Mayra tried to persuade Haezel.

Mayra's husband was still silent.

"Mas!" Mayra persuaded once more.

"Yes!" Haezel finally answered while scooping Mayra into his arms and did not forget to rub Mayra's stomach.
