A widower? Hot Daddy's.

The Part 26

Abhimana Anga

Tok tok...

My eyes were still closed as the knock on the door grew louder and louder. Maybe the person behind it is impatient. The atmosphere outside still looks dark. The sun was still reluctant to greet the people who were still sound asleep.

Lazy, I walked without having time to put on clothes. There were only a few body parts covered in shorts that I used to use while sleeping.

I opened the door without even realizing who was behind it. My eyes that are still difficult to resist sleepiness are forced to open.

"Why did you wake up?"

I haven't had a chance to answer, Mira went straight in without me letting it go. He brought some containers that I don't know what they contained. The container he put directly on the dining table.

"Where's shafina?"

Again, he asked as if he did not care about the answer he would get. He walked to Syafina's room and found Syafina sitting behind her desk. On paper, there are some graffiti that may not yet be a work. Seeing who was standing in the doorway of her room, Syafina smiled.

"Well, Syafina just woke up from earlier, when you just woke up? Don't you forget the new schedule?"

I smiled clumsily, not used to what I should do before marrying her.

"Yes, sorry. I'll take a shower."

I shower as quickly as possible. The cold water this morning did not dampen the intention. A new beginning must be made with determination.

Out of the bathroom, Mira and Syafina who were in a sling had been waiting. He smiled, I replied awkwardly. The relationship that has been blessed really feels different.

I wear the shirt in a hurry without choosing first, which is important to be comfortable in use.

After that, I rushed towards Mira's house like what she said. I took the car out of the garage and I turned it on.

"Mas, breakfast first."

From behind my door, Mira called. I deliberately left the car in the light position, before the engine is ready to use.

On a simple dining table, Mira has prepared a breakfast that is also simple but appetizing.

"Finished breakfast, we're off right away."

We enjoyed breakfast together like a family, although we had done the same thing before, but this time it felt completely different.

"Mas, sorry about yesterday?"

For a moment, Mira opened up a serious chat about what happened when we just got home from Mira's parents' house.

"It's okay, I know it."

I understand what Andrew did, he just asked for certainty the real feeling was definitely clapping one hand.

Mira tries to get used to being a mother. Routine work is done, even including washing clothes. But I refused when he intended to wash my clothes, I could still do it myself, after all it would exhaust him.

"Oh yeah, can I say something?"

On the way, I ventured to express what was troubling my mind.

"What?"

Mira looked at me, looking tired after starting something new this morning, I'm sure she wasn't used to it either.

"What you do is not learn to be a wife, but a maid."

Mira pouted, she did not understand what I meant, even she did not seem to understand the meaning of a wife.

"meaning?" Look at Mira cynically but still look spoiled. I reply with a smile to see the other side of the person who has always looked mature and independent.

"The job of a wife is only one, which is to help the husband."

Mira took it seriously, but she did not understand what I meant.

"meaning?"

"So gini, all the housework is actually the work of the husband, just because the husband makes a living all day outside, the wife helps ngerjain the work."

Mira smiled again after understanding what I said.

"So, you don't have to do anything else, all you have to do is one."

"What?"

"Learn to love Syafina as a mother."

Mira rubbed my cheek gently, then kissed the head of Syafina sitting on her lap.

"I'm more than ready."

Mira is so confident. I hope he is really ready with the growth and development of Syafina which could have a bad nature.

At work, I drove Mira in. Some of them smile to greet Mira when passing by. I feel like some of them are paying attention.

"Ri."

Mira greeted someone. From the way they were greeting, they looked like good friends.

"Ra, this?"

Leorin asked by giving a code that only the two of them understood.

"Yes." Yeah."

Mira replied with the same code.

"So now is it...?"

From his expression, Leorin was shocked but pleased with the news he received. Especially after knowing that Mira will immediately release her bachelor.

"Yes, another month."

"Huh? Seriously?"

Reflexes, Leorin hugs Mira, he has no power to hold back happiness.

"Oh yeah, forget it, know this candidate."

"Mas, this is Leorin, my good friend here."

Leorin reached out, I greeted her with a name.

"The Abimana."

Leorin's smile disappeared after he heard my name.

Mira can guess a short word in the form of a question in the words of her good friend.

"Yes, he's the one."

His expression of disbelief reappeared.

"Kok, you're not saying anything, Ra?"

Mira just smiled and explained.

"Because I don't want her to go to the cantol with you."

The three of us laughed, but I had no idea what they were talking about before.

"Mas, Rin likes some of your books, she knows you but hasn't seen the person. Different from me, I know the person but previously did not know that you are a writer."

Now I understand what they're talking about.

"Seriously, Ra? You just found out that the person you like is a writer?"

"Hmm, I can say that."

"You like a chain because it's a famous person."

"Well, I know he's a writer, I'm a little worried."

"Worry? Why?"

"Worried she's glancing at another girl."

Mira said the last word with emphasis, perhaps even threatening.

After finishing with their chat, I said that it was not too late to submit the requirements documents to the Office of Religious Affairs. I'm taking care of the marriage license at Mira's parents' estate. Because the area where I live and Mira is different from Mira's parents. Luckily the permission process is not so difficult, it all just takes time.

Almira Shofia Prameswari

I was happy, on the first day of work, in a new chapter of my life, between them. Our relationship is not yet officially legal or religious, but Papa's orders are very clear, even to the point of prohibiting Angga from bringing home his own motorbike, and instead, he said, my car will help him prepare all the conditions and needs of the marriage.

"Dreamy, stick people in healthy again."

Leorin hit the desk in front of me.

"Udah wants to..."

He smiled, teased, rolled his eyes.

"Ih, what the hell? Who's got dizzy to know."

I pretend, but in my heart flowers. I took a cell phone on the table to ask for news.

"Mas, how? Done yet?"

It didn't take long, my message was answered.

"Udah, stay the file in the anter to your Papa, let it be directly anterin to KUA there."

Leorin who was still sitting in front of my desk protested.

"Finally, I was in pekanin too, playing with Syafina aja ah. Dear, play with aunt, the mother is busy with your father."

I laughed at myself who could forget everything, even Syafina.

"Sorry, I'm not focused anymore. Sorry, my dear mother."

I apologize to both of them, especially Syafina. Since then I have unconsciously cared less about it. But Syafina does not seem to feel that way, she is still cool with her own hobby.

"It's okay, Ra, you finish your business first, let Syafina be with me first. Yuk darling."

Leorin brought Syafina into his room leaving me alone who was still busy messaging with Angga.

"Oh, have you eaten yet, Mom?"

Can't wait to get a message back from him, even if not for long. I started making video calls. For some reason, ever since I got my blessing from Papa, I started getting bolder. Without shame or hesitation I contacted him first. Even this morning I woke him up.

"Hello."

Unconsciously I was daydreaming. The video call had been connected a few seconds ago, even to the point of showing numbers over twenty.

"Eh, sorry, kirain hasn't been picked up yet."

I was misbehaved by my own silliness. As a distraction, I improved my sitting position and tidied up my long hair which was actually something unnecessary.

"Udah is beautiful."

Angga smiled, whether it was a compliment or was deliberately tempting.

"Thank you, Mom, have you eaten yet?"

Angga shows what is around him. He was sitting on the side of the road doing nothing.

"Well, Mom, where are you? What else?"

"I'm just resting, I wasn't taking a break, so before I went to rest, just for a moment. Oh yeah, where's Syafina?"

"Mmhh, he's playing Leorin again."

Satisfied with giving up longing, Angga immediately set out to pick me up. When it was still midday, I told him to rest longer there, because if it was here, it meant that he would wait for me too long until the time to come home later.

I went to pick up Syafina in Leorin's room. Apparently, Syafina was enjoying her lunch.

"Eh, Mother's favorite again eat."

I approached Syafina, not forgetting to put a kiss on her head. Syafina was used to it and could eat by herself, only a little bit of food stuck to her cheeks.

"Is that done, Ra?"

I nodded in response to Leorin's question.

"So I wanted to eat, but right in front of your room, I heard you talking again, so I just stayed."

"Yes, it's okay, Rin. Thank you very much for Syafina.

"Ah, you're the same as anyone, Ra."

The first day of trying to live life as a mother turned out to be tiring, but fun, all the fatigue was gone just like seeing her happy. I hope I can be the best mom for her.
