Forced to Be Stepmom
Arrival Ardhan And Lathan Dihotel Radit

"Lathan, are you and Ardhan home yet?".

Radit was in touch with Lathan after she spoke to the police who were investigating.

"Already Pih. We've been here since. Emm... How's the situation at the hotel, Pih?". Lathan asked with a slight hesitation. He was sitting in his room enjoying the cool afternoon air.

"Police are still investigating TKP, I don't know what they're looking for. They just checked the same place many times".

Radit responded to Lathan's question with an indifferent attitude.

"What does Papi mean? Don't tell me Papi's doubting their job?". Lathan asked with a faint smile on her lips.

"But not doubting their work. Papi only doubts their slow work and makes Papi more and more loss".

Lathan smiled again at Radit.

"Don't tell me that Papi wants to play detective and do an investigation, too?". Lathan spoke in a slightly mocking tone.

"What harm? Papi believes that we can work faster than them. They have too many rules to follow. We can do whatever we want without having to be tied to anything, right?" radit asked for approval.

"Yes Papi is always right. So what does Papi want from me? I'm sure Papi has his own plans" Lathan said confidently.

"Come here with Ardhan and we'll be behind all this mess". Radit smirked faintly as he asked Lathan to come over.

"Why should Ardhan come too? He's a kid and still has to go to school". Lathan refuses to take Ardhan with her because she doesn't know her brother's abilities.

"He's not a kid anymore. He's in 1st grade and Papi is convinced that he can help us too". Radit responded with a calm attitude.

"But sure you want to take Ardhan to the hotel?". Lathan asked again to confirm the father's decision.

"of course. Papi is familiar with the abilities of Papi's children. Papi is confident that you can help Papi solve this problem" Radit said confidently.

"I mean Papi …? Ardhan can also help Papi solve this problem?" Lathan squinted her eyes as she asked.

"Yes. He can help Papi, too, so just bring him here. You can go to school from here. Tell your mama that Papi asked for it".

Lathan was silent considering Radit's words.

"Alright, Pih. I'm going there now with Ardhan"

"Yes. Papi wait. Be careful driving" Radit said before ending his phone call.

"Good, Pih".

Lathan changed her clothes after hanging up the phone from Radit. He wore a plain t-shirt overlaid with a jacket, then trousers, and fitted with sneakers.

After finishing with his appearance, Lathan immediately rushed into Ardhan's room.

Tok tok tok tok

"Dhan …".

Lathan immediately opened the door of the sister's room and called out to her from the doorway.

"Dhan, where are you?". Lathan went back to look for her sister in every corner of her room.

"What did you do in my room?" asked Ardhan who was surprised to see Lathan in his room.

"Past ready. Papi asked us to come to the hotel". Lathan bluntly bluntly without a stale ado.

"Kehotel? Why is Papi asking us to go to the hotel?" Ardhan asked Lathan with a frown to make sure Radit's goal was calling them.

"No need to ask too many questions. Get ready and we'll leave right now. Bring also your school needs for tomorrow" Lathan spoke in a calm manner.

"Are we going to stay at the hotel? What about mommy? Is mom gonna let us go?". Ardhan squinted his eyes as he asked Lathan.

"Just calm. Papi has already talked about it with mami, so surely we will be given permission to leave without any problems".

Ardhan noticed Lathan's serious and cold expression.

"Are you sure?" ask Ardhan again to make sure .

"Hurry along. Why are you so chatty" said Lathan who was getting upset.

"alright. I'll be ready right now".

Ardhan immediately changed clothes and prepared all the necessities needed for school tomorrow.

"Ardhan Prayugi Nugraha .. how much longer will you be finished? It's been almost 1 hour I've been waiting for you to get ready".

Lathan, who was starting to get annoyed at waiting for Ardhan, finally called out the brother's full name in a cold tone.

"Yes yes. I'm all set. Let's go, brother" said Ardhan who has now stood before Lathan.

"Eh wait! You're leaving like this?" lathan asked after seeing Ardhan's appearance.

"Yes. What's wrong?" Ardhan asked with a puzzled look on his face while paying attention to himself.

"You prepared for 1 hour, and this is how you look?".

Lathan sneered at Ardhan with her usual appearance. It was not much different from Lathan's appearance.

"What's wrong with my appearance?" ardhan asked while paying attention to his own appearance which he thought was no problem.

"none. Let's go!" lathan said as she passed away leaving Ardhan's room in an irritated tone.

"What's wrong with sister? Strange as it was" Ardhan immediately walked after Lathan from behind.

"Mommy, we're going to go first. Papi asked us to come to the hotel. Looks like we'll be staying there too".

Lathan asks permission from Andra who is watching television with Lili.

"Tata, Lili guessed it was with Tata" said Lili who joined Lathan and spoke with her lisp.

"Lili at home just accompany mom. Later if Lili pity her own mother". Lathan spoke in a soft tone to Lili.

"But Lili was expecting to meet Papi". Lili whines with pampered pursed lips on Lathan.

"Lili, Lili will go there with Mami. Now it's afternoon, papi must also be busy at the hotel, right?" Andra persuaded Lili gently.

"Well, Mami" Lili agreed even with a forced look.

"Then we go first Mih. Muachs. Dah Mami's"

"Muachian. By Mami, by Lili".

Lathan pamit first followed Ardhan later.

"Yes, you guys be careful"

"Good, Mih". Ardhan and Lathan left the house.

"Pair up your seat belt" Lathan said before starting to drive.

"In fact why did papi ask us to go to the hotel? Isn't the hotel busy right now because of that case?".

Ardhan asked Lathan after she put on her seatbelt.

"Sister doesn't know either. We'll know when we get there" replied Lathan, who started the car.

"alright". Ardhan said nothing more. They started driving away from home to Radit's hotel.

After a long journey, Lathan and Ardhan arrive at the hotel. They walked into the hotel while watching the surroundings. There are some police cars parked there. Police were also seen around the hotel. There are those who wear complete police uniforms and there are also those who only use the shirt or vest only.

"It turns out a lot. It is fitting that many hotel guests feel disturbed and choose to move hotels" said Ardhan while continuing to pay attention to his surroundings.

"You're right. This is so annoying. I alone do not want to linger here" Lathan said with a sharp tone and a cynical look.

"That's it. Let's walk" Lathan walked back, followed by Ardhan beside her

"Sister, it's Papi. Papi!" Ardhan pointed at Radit who was not far in front of him and called out to him as he walked over to his father.

Radit who was talking to Candra turned his head as soon as he heard her son's voice calling out to her.

"You have arrived. We go straight to Papi's room" Radit said as he passed to his office followed by his two sons and Candra who followed from behind.

"What will Papi do now? Looks like the hotel situation is very chaotic?" lathan asked after they arrived in Radit's room.

"Yes, it's so messed up. Therefore, Papi wants to ask the help of the two of you to solve this problem".

Ardhan and Lathan turned to each other after hearing Radit's words.

"What should we do, pih?"
