A widower? Hot Daddy's.

Part 1's

Recalling the incident, I began to smile, something that accidentally brought me closer to him, ah, this was not accidentally, he said, but because Syafina did something unexpected that eventually became the beginning of something new for me and Mira. We who at first just greet each other like ordinary neighbors, began to often talk even alone without involving Syafina.

My smile expands, imagining the advantages he has. I think she's beautiful, independent and also a good personality, and as far as I can tell, Mira is still alone. But my smile just disappeared after finding myself back in the real world. At the moment Mira is only a dream figure that is too high for me to achieve, how not, my current situation is not worthy of expecting a female figure like her. I didn't really expect to find a replacement, although before leaving he said and hoped that I could find a person who could replace the emptiness after he was gone, but it wasn't as easy as he wanted, he said, and Mira doesn't seem like an answer.

The closeness of Mira and Syafina can indeed give hope, but unfortunately I prefer it not as an option, our world is too different, he said, his life looks perfect while I'm just a person who just started rearranging life for the sake of the baby.

"Dad, do you want to get married again? Will Syafina have a new Mother?"

A simple question from a little girl I find hard to answer. Some time ago Syafina asked that while we were at the entertainment venue held once every year. Maybe he was curious about what I would do in the future, but did the three-year-old girl think like that? It's possible that, as I know, Syafina is a smart and independent child. At that time I could only look at him and smile bitterly, not knowing what answer I had to give.

"Morning, Dad."

Her gentle greeting broke my daydream about what happened that night.

"Eh, my son is awake, Morning is beautiful."

I immediately carried her and held her in my lap. I stopped for a moment the morning activities that I often live for a moment to play and hug him.

"Ko this pretty daddy's kid still smells cool?"

Syafina smiled understandingly with my words that were only just a joke.

"Syafina hasn't had a bath, Dad."

"Why haven't you had a bath, baby?"

He did not answer, maybe today Syafina was not wanting to take a bath, or was trying to laze. Just like what I'm doing right now.

"If Syafina doesn't take a bath, it means that today I won't take Syafina for a walk."

He looked at me with a frown but still with the typical attitude of a cute little boy. Maybe he was a little upset to hear what I said that canceled a promise to take him for a walk today.

"Yes Well, Syafina took a bath first."

I drove him to the bathroom but didn't bathe him, he could and used to bathe himself, after all, it shouldn't be a father bathing his daughter, from an early age, girls must be introduced to shame so that they understand what is permissible and what should not be done by women and men.

After finishing the bath, Syafina deftly put on her own clothes, while I could only direct and help a little.

"Well, we're just going for a walk?"

When I put on her shoes all of a sudden she asked like that, I thought it was just an ordinary question, but it turned out that there was something that Syafina did not tell me.

"Dear, why? You want to take a temen?"

Syafina was silent not answering my question, I frowned while looking at her, it seemed like there was something she was going to do, but along with the arrival of a guest knocking on the door, her smile began to expand, I don't understand what makes her smile like that. I went to the front door to see who was visiting this early and what was needed.

I opened the door and smiled at the person behind it in neat clothes and it seemed like there was an event to go on this sunny day off.

"Aren't you ready yet?"

Asked like that by him, I don't understand the intent of the question.

"Not ready? What's?"

I answered him with a question, so that everything was clear because I really did not understand what the purpose was to meet in the morning in such neat clothes.

"Auntie."

But suddenly Syafina appeared and ran to hug the guest.

"Bag sweetie."

The woman immediately held Syafina and gave her a kiss. I finally started to understand what was really going on.

"Wait, don't tell me you're here because Syafina took a walk?"

They both smiled and nodded, apparently they both had planned it. I left my waist with an expression of anxiety on my little daughter who invites neighbors in front of the house to attend today's event without my knowledge and permission first.

"Oh, Dad's son started to be reckless apparently, not sure aunt Mira not permission first with Dad, like I should give Dad punishment."

Looking at my face with an angry expression, Syafina felt scared and shuffled and hid behind Mira. He knows very well that he is in danger now.

"Mas, don't do that, it's my fault too."

Mira tried to defend Syafina and even protect her, but I didn't care about her, Syafina is my son and she had to teach me a lesson to not lie anymore, and not become a habit.

"Syafina, here!"

The originally cheerful atmosphere now turned tense. Syafina slowly began to come out from behind Mira's legs, because Syafina's height was only limited to Mira's thigh, she did not dare to refute my orders, because I educated her to be a good child. Mira tried to prevent it but Syafina herself who brushed off Mira's hand then slowly approached, her face bowed with fear.

I scolded Syafina in front of Mira directly, I subtly insinuated for her not to interfere with my affairs with Syafina, currently her status is just another person.

"Syafina knows, Well, sorry Syafina."

Mira approached and stood behind Syafina to protect her. Maybe he was worried that I would do something rude to him. I stepped up and then crouched down right in front of Syafina who was still bowing her face in fear.

"You know what kind of punishment I want to give you?"

Syafina did not dare to answer, she only shook her head while still lowering her face deeper and did not dare to look at me at the slightest, I salute with Syafina's mentality, she did not cry with the condition she was facing right now, she said, and in the end I smiled a little happy.

"Father love this punishment."

I immediately tickled Syafina on her stomach and waist, the previously tense atmosphere was now cheerful again by my attitude and Syafina.

"This one, real kirain."

Mira pinched me a little because of the anxious reflexes in the way I pranked Syafina. I just smiled back at him. I stopped my tickling on Syafina's stomach, for pity seemed to be laughing too much.

"Next time, Syafina if you want to talk aunty said it first with Dad, yes."

Syafina nodded in agreement as to what my advice was. Even though I didn't scold her doesn't mean what she did was right, Syafina has to learn to be honest.

"I'll take a shower first."

I went from the living room to go to the bathroom and immediately got ready to leave to fulfill today's appointment.

"Eh, Mom, I can come, right?"

Mira made sure that she was invited to take a vacation. I just answered him with a smile to confirm what he asked just now.

"But we just take a walk on a motorbike, is it okay?"

Before taking a shower, I made sure that Syafina and I would go on vacation on a motorcycle, because I only had that. I'm afraid he's not used to it, because he seems to rarely ride a two-wheeler, even commuting to work Mira always uses a private car that she bought herself from the results of her hard work as a medical worker.

"Yes, it's okay."

Mira smiled steadily. There was a bad feeling when I just found out that Syafina invited her, because she was young even though my age with her was only two years apart, but Mira was not married yet, at home he only lives alone, while I am a widower who has a daughter.

"I'll stay first."

After taking a shower and getting ready, I immediately headed to the garage to bring out my favorite sports bike that is rarely used for everyday, because for everyday I am more comfortable using a small motorbike to make it more practical. The sound of a loud variation of the exhaust makes the sound of the entire garage echo. Apparently Mira and Syafina were waiting in front with enthusiasm. Syafina is not usually like this, so happy just with a holiday event that is so ordinary in my opinion.

"Yuk."

I gave Mira a helmet to wear, while Syafina I didn't think she needed to use it, because she was going to sit between me and Mira. My goal this time is to invite Syafina to go to know the flora and fauna in Indonesia, no need to go far, just by taking a one-hour trip to get there.

I started riding my motorcycle at a moderate speed. It would be dangerous for them if I spurred it at too high a speed, the seat on the back seat was so narrow that it was only intended for one passenger.

It didn't feel like an hour had passed so quickly, and the place we were going to was in sight. I dropped them both off near the ticketing point so they wouldn't have to walk far from the parking lot to the main entrance not far from the ticketing point. After parking the motor in the parking lot, I immediately approached those waiting there.

"So soon, I'll buy a ticket."

"Udah buy ko, nih, yuk in."

Apparently Mira had bought an entrance ticket when I parked the bike and the three of us went straight in.

"Tante, there's a cute bunny."

Syafina enthusiastically pulled Mira's hand to accompany her to see the rabbit in a special place that only has rabbit animals with various types.

"Yes dear."

Mira patiently followed what Syafina wanted, it seemed like they both forgot about my existence, but it was fine as long as it could make Syafina happy. They continued to endlessly explore what Syafina wanted to see but I was no longer forgotten.

"Mas, here."

Mira waved at me, I immediately approached the two of them while putting on a happy smile because I felt the time for fun had come.

"Mas, please take a photo of ya."

But apparently they call me just to capture the happy moments of the two of them. After taking pictures several times using Mira's phone I handed the phone back to her and went to find a seat and from a distance just watched them have fun.

"Mas, where are you going? Photo together dong, when I was with Syafina aja."

Without refusing I immediately took a pose by holding Syafina for a few photos. And lastly we took pictures together like a happy family.
