Liora looked at Emmanuel. The boy looked handsome wearing the clothes that were there with him. Paras Emmanuel descends perfectly from Zelvin. The nose is sharp, the eyelashes are flat, the eyes are sharp, they almost look like Zelvin. Even from the same nature.
"You're so handsome, Nuel. Seriously you are very handsome," Liora praised.
Emmanuel was silent, but there was a strange taste in his heart.
Zelvin came out of his room in neat clothes. Don't forget something, Liora forced Zelvin to attend the event today. Despite being snapped by Zelvin, Liora did not give up. He still forced her, inevitably the man also relented and followed Liora's will.
Liora further widened her smile when she saw this son and father were very handsome. They are like the most beautiful works of God.
"You leaving now?" ask Liora
Emmanuel nodded.
"Sir," asked Liora.
Zelvin walked first from Liora and Emmanuel. Liora holding Emmanuel's hand made Emmanuel look at Liora with a difficult gaze to decipher. Emmanuel kept staring at Liora, the cheerful woman was always there for him. The woman managed to make her Daddy want to come to her show at school.
Liora stuck her hand on Emmanuel's forehead as Emmanuel was unfocused on his path and hit the door hard making Liora's hand hurt. "Nuel, what's wrong with you? How is the road not focused?"
Emmanuel awakens, "Sorry, Aunt."
Liora smiled, "Father, Daddy you'll definitely wait, he'll get angry."
Liora thought, Emmanuel will be sitting in the front seat, next to Zelvin. The boy sat in the back with her.
"You want to make me a driver?" zelvin stared intently at the two people in the back seat of the car.
Liora looked at Emmanuel, "Emmanuel, why don't you sit in front?"
"I want to be with Aunty" replied Emmanuel.
Liora held back her smile, the little boy's reply managed to make her blush in embarrassment until her face turned red. "Sir, why would Emmanuel be behind me?"
"Whatever."
Zelvin's car drove away from the grounds of his mansion heading to the.
Emmanuel School is very crowded. Many students brought their people and some were represented because their parents were unable to attend. All students
they were told to enter the classroom and the parents were seated in the chairs provided.
Liora and Zelvin sat on the second bench from the front. Liora deliberately chose the front bench, so that she could clearly see Emmanuel's appearance. Liora strongly believes that Emmanuel will perform the best, especially here there is Zelvin who makes Emmanuel more excited.
Zelvin narrowed his eyes when he saw the bruise on Liora's white arm. "Why hands?"
Liora raised her eyebrows, then followed Zelvin's line of sight. "Oh this, gapapa."
Zelvin was silent, asking nothing more.
The event also began. Teachers start with a small show of students. Liora widened her smile when she saw Emmanuel take the stage with the other disciples. Liora gave a round of applause for Emmanuel.
"Sister, it's Emmanuel!" show Liora enthusiastic.
The student sang a song that was about mother. With a compact they begin to sing it plus small movements. The event continues and does not feel now the race was started. Liora waited for Emmanuel's turn. After a long wait, finally...
"For the next participant is Emmanuel Azarious Park. It is permissible to let Emmanuel go on stage."
Emmanuel went up on stage, his face looked calm not looking groggy in the least. He is very confident that his performance will be his best performance.
As the piano sounds began to accompany him, Emmanuel would soon recite his poem.
"Mother always gives, gives, gives, gives From our childhood to adulthood until she dies Love is the radiance of God's love. Write his sincere heartfelt radiance of God. He's a very deep ocean and a vast sky of life."
"He was as beautiful as the kingdom of birds and the coral reefs of the fish palace which promised peace and a happy life. He's a protective fortress over the disaster that befell despite his own old body."
"There are lights in the darkness. Guide the pointer straight because of his heart and his sincere love of your sacrifice, Mother. Sincerely your contribution Exemplary for many things named both with morals and beautiful."
"In front of a noble mother, there are disobedient children. It is they who deny and betray sincerely your deep affection."
"Heedless and forgetful of the deceit of the world Then your ocean of mercy, I beg you heartily if we ever are guilty and sinful often disappoint and suffocate your breath."
"As for your blessing, Mother, offer and bestow upon the sons and daughters who desire you. Before we set out to swing the pace of opening the fields of life."
Emmanuel bowed his body after he finished reading the poem. The sound of a very lively applause as proof that Emmanuel's poem is indeed good.
Liora stood up, applauding with a proud feeling to her stepson. Emmanuel looked at someone standing in applause, his face very cheerful and happy. She is Liora, mother!
The people who saw Liora standing up, they stood up while clapping. Emmanuel came down from the stage, he peeked at Liora from backstage, the girl kept smiling. There is a strange feeling that Emmanuel feels that he is happy today.
"Nice, right?" ask Liora.
Zelvin looked at Liora, the girl was too excited.
"I taught him. Very proud, I want to send a photo of Emmanuel to Mommy with Mama let them know hehe." Liora took her phone, then she sent me the photo she had taken when Emmanuel appeared.
Shortly after, her phone rang there was an incoming call from Mama Marissa.
"Hello baby, where are you?"
"I'm at Emmanuel's school, Ma."
"It's nice that Mama heard it. Later he stopped by Papa's mansion? You're with Zelvin, aren't you? Invite him too. miss Mama with you and Emmanuel."
"Yes, I'm the same as Zelvin. I don't promise Ma, but I will. I miss Mama too."
"Convince Zelvin, if he doesn't want to, just say that Mama will be angry."
Liora chuckled, "Yes Ma."
"Yes, Mama hang up. Greetings to Emmanuel."
"Surely it must be Ma."
Tut!
The call ended. Liora returned to do her phone into her bag.
Liora looked at Zelvin, "Sister today is busy isn't it? Mama asked us to come to Papa's mansion, can you?" ask Liora carefully.
"Later there," Zelvin broke off and was nodding his head back by Liora.
"I can't samperin Emmanuel? Very nervous to praise him," said Liora.
Zelvin looked at Liora, the girl who had always been anything but excited about Emmanuel. Liora stood up, wanting to move her legs but Zelvin blocked Liora's arm right in her bruise making Liora reflex to pull her hand out of pain.
"Sit down."
"But-" Zelvin gave his sharp gaze, gosh if this is how Liora can't argue.
"The winner of the poetry reading contest is Emmanuel Azarious Park! It's welcome for Emmanuel's mother to take the stage, "her MC's pinta.
Liora looked at Zelvin, and Zelvin ate back.
"I-I'm mom-not her mom, brother Zelvin just the-"
"Mama Liora is riding" Emmanuel asked using a mic he borrowed from the MC.
Liora rounded her eyes. The mama? Mama Liora's? Is this what it feels like to call Mama? Why did he feel like there was a butterfly in his stomach. Emmanuel called her Mama? For the first time. Liora wanted to cry.
Zelvin could see Liora's eyes glazed - glass, as happy as Liora called Mama?
Liora stepped onto the stage, then climbed the stairs to get on stage.
"Oh my goodness, is this Emmanuel's mother? It's fitting that his son is very handsome, his mother is beautiful like this. Congratulations, ma'am," tease the MC.
Liora smiled shyly, she clasped Emmanuel's hand.
"Another applause for Emmanuel and Mama Liora."
One of the teachers submitted to give trophies and certificates to Liora, and also gave a doll that read 'Happy Mother Day'. Liora also returned the teacher's hand.
"Congratulations Mom, I'm proud to have a child like Emmanuel who is very smart and talented" said the teacher.
Liora smiled, "Thank you, Mom. Obviously I'm very proud of my son, he's perfect."
The teacher nodded and smiled.
Emmanuel looked at Liora. Why was what he expected from his Mommy now embodied by Liora? Why does Liora always play the role of Mother? Why did Liora still survive despite her rough and cold nature? Liora embodies the figure of Mother that Emmanuel had dreamed of all this time.
Emmanuel and Liora got off the stage. Liora could no longer hold back her tears that wanted to come out. Liora cried, not because she was sad but because she was very moved and happy to mix into one.
"Auntie why?"
Aunty? Was it just imaging? If true, Liora was no problem, it made her happy. "Tante is glad you called aunty, Mama," Liora said.
Emmanuel was silent, "Tante wants to be called Mama?"
Liora nodded and smiled, but she did not want to force Emmanuel.
"Sorry-"
"Ish, Auntie's gapapa was happy despite pretending to be rich earlier."
Zelvin approached Liora and Emmanuel who were talking.
"Sister Zelvin.." - Liora
"Have you? Let's go home," Zelvin asked and nodded at the two.
