Forced to Be Stepmom
Zara's Attention to Lathan

Candra immediately contacted Radit after getting the information she wanted.

"Hello, Dit"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I got what you asked for".

"Tell me what it is". Radit responded to Candra with a cold and indifferent attitude.

"Sofia hasn't been back from abroad. He moved out of the country when he was a teenager. Looks like she knows your wife because she's also at school with Luna and Lulu. They seem to have known each other since childhood".

Radit listened carefully to Candra's explanation. His forehead occasionally furrowed until his two eyebrows were almost fused together.

"They know each other? What the hell is it? I have to ask Andra directly". Radit thought after hearing Candra's explanation

"Can, send me all the information you get. Don't let anyone miss and keep an eye on Sofia and Gerry". Pinta Radit firmly on Candra.

"Yes I'll send people to watch their every move".

"alright. Bye now".

Radit and Candra immediately ended the phone call between them.

"I have to go home and ask Andra about Sofia. Maybe if Andra recognizes him, I can get a clue".

Radit rushed out of the hotel to ask Andra directly about Sofia. He drives his car at high speed.

"What happened to him? Why is he in such a hurry?" thought the police in charge of the Radit hotel case.

...****************...

After traveling from the hotel, Radit finally arrived at his home. He rushed into the house and looked for the whereabouts of his wife.

"Where's my wife?" radit asked one of his household assistants.

"The lady's in the back garden with little lady".

Radit immediately set foot into the back garden to meet his wife.

"Darling…! darling …!" radit called out to Andra.

"Here it…!". Andra responds to Radit's screams while looking for her husband.

"Papi .. Papi has been forgotten". Lili greeted Radit with a cheerful smile as soon as she saw her father.

"Hello little princess Papi. What are you doing?" radit asked while lifting Lili on her lap.

"Main Tama Mami's. Papi see, Lili shady mendalnai" said Lili while showing the results of coloring it on Radit.

"Well good. Lili coloring what?" radit asked while watching Lili's drawing.

"It's a pretty bunna, isn't it?" ask Lili again with a cheerful smile.

"Yes pretty. Just like Lili"

"So Papi was looking for me? What's up?" Andra suddenly interrupted the conversation between her father and son. He called Radit Papi because he was in front of his son.

Slowly Radit lowers Lili back and lets her continue her coloring activities.

"There's something I want to ask you".

Andra scrunched her forehead because she saw Radit's very serious face. She was waiting for what her husband would ask her.

"What's wrong? Is there another problem?" asked Andra hesitantly.

"Do you know this woman?". Radit shows Sofia's picture to his wife.

Andra squinted her eyes and looked at the photo Radit had shown her.

"Where did you get this photo? Is there a problem with him?" asked Andra who was waiting for Radit's answer with a look of wonder.

"There is a possibility that this woman has caused a commotion at the hotel. And it's a coincidence that he has a hotel located around our hotel".

"Here is Sofia Indratama. We've known each other since childhood because her mother was friends with my mother. He was very close to Luna's sister and Lulu's sister, but .. Just like my two brothers, he didn't like me either. Maybe because I'm just a foster child from the orphanage "Andra gives a pause while talking while smiling awkwardly.

"Then he and his family moved out of the country during Junior High because his father was assigned to manage overseas companies. It seems that since then Sofia and Luna have never been in contact again" Andra explained to Radit.

"So you said .. Did he not like you?" radit made sure.

"Yes, he never liked me. The three of them have always worked together to annoy me since we were kids. Is it possible ... he's making trouble at our hotel too out of spite of me?".

Andra looked at Radit with a doubtful look and a gloomy face.

"Not to worry. I'll sort this out as soon as I can". Radit spoke softly while pulling Andra into his arms.

"Yes" Andra nodded in Radit's arms.

"Find proof that Sofia planned the murder at my hotel. Make him admit it to himself and let the whole world know about this" Radit wrote in a message to Candra.

...****************...

Lathan was taking a break in the park behind her school. He was using a laptop while enjoying his drinks and snacks.

"Go back to the hotel after you and Ardhan come home from school. There's something you two should do". Radit wrote in a short message.

"Well, Pih" Lathan replied briefly.

"Until when will you notice me from there? Why not come closer?" .

Lathan spoke in an indifferent manner accompanied by a faint smile. He spoke to Zara who had been watching him from near a tree not far from him.

Zara approached Lathan even though she looked misbehaved.

"I didn't notice you. Just a coincidence passing by. Don't be so confident. You didn't have lunch? Why are you eating snacks here?" Zara asked in a cynical manner.

"The canteen must be full of people. I don't like crowds very much". Lathan responded with a calm demeanor while playing her phone. He sent a message to Ardhan.

"Back later, Papi asks us to return to the hotel . He said there's something we have to do". Lathan wrote in her message.

"Okay, Brother" Ardhan replied briefly.

"Don't you really like being the attention of those girls?" zara said cynically.

"When do I like to be the center of attention? I just love to get your attention"

"Eh". Zara looks misbehaved when Lathan teases her with their faces close together.

"Gombali. I don't want to be with you for long". Zara turned around and was about to leave Lathan, but Lathan held back Zara's hand.

"Why? You're gonna leave me here alone?" lathan asked with a teasing smile.

"Let go! I want to go back to class" said Zara who tried to rebel.

"No need for class. Accompany me here. Fandy is on assignment from the teacher at the office" Lathan said in a calm manner.

Zara was silent looking at Lathan who only ate french fries and ice.

"You're just having lunch with this?".

Lathan looked at the food beside her.

"Yes, I just bought a faster-served meal. If it's a heavy meal, it'll take a long time to order" Lathan replied with a faint smile.

"Then I'll get the card first. Let me order some food for you. Is there any food you can't eat?" zara asked in a calm and more gentle manner.

"none. Whatever you order, I will definitely eat it voraciously"

"Then I left first" Zara turned back and was about to leave but again Lathan held her back.

"Otherwise?" ask Zara annoyed.

"Don't dawdle. I'll wait for you here". Zara finally left Lathan with a face that blushed in embarrassment.

"Good start" muttered Lathan looking at Zara's increasingly distant back with a sweet smile on her lips.
