A widower? Hot Daddy's.

Part 3

I read the last message from Riana, or what I often call Ana, which I haven't opened last night.

"Oh, kirain your new girl."

The message still ended with an emoji, but this time it was different, he sent me a smiling emoji but with a cynical expression, and again I just smiled at him. I knew it wasn't serious and was just a joke. I did not reply to his last message, I prefer to open a laptop to return to complete the contract deadline that was ignored last night by the inspiration that never came. A glass of water that is only half filled I never forget, the advice of a friend is always remembered in the mind, that the human brain that is always used to work and think hard needs more fluid intake, the advice I always do, at least to keep my body healthy for the sake of Syafina. It's unimaginable when I'm sick who's gonna look after him.

This time, the inspiration came so quickly that it did not take long to complete the script that only stayed to complete the part of the final chapter.

This afternoon feels so quiet, the neighbors spend more time to work from morning to night, most of them work in a private company office or office, or home office, it seems like I'm the only one who spends more time at home because my job does not need a place and time for sure, all can be done when there is free time and when inspiration comes. But actually I have designed a time schedule to do the work, I do not want time to work to reduce the attention and affection for Syafina that only he gets from me. It occurred to him to seek a mother for him so that he could get complete affection and attention, but I'm afraid he won't be able to love Syafina completely which would be fatal to her psychological development and growth.

This afternoon I plan to take Syafina to a shopping center large enough to buy some monthly necessities that have run out. In the shopping center there are several rides for children and Syafina likes to play in that place. The natural instinct of a small child is only to play, children his age can not think too heavy, although sometimes he thinks like an adult.

"Darling, are you ready?"

"Udah, Dad."

"Ok, let's go."

By only using two-wheeled vehicles that I deliberately use for daily purposes we also departed. Syafina sits in front of an extra chair that is deliberately made for small children to sit comfortably.

"Where will Shafina play what baby?"

"Syafina wants to ride the horses Well."

"You're not bosen up that keep?"

"No, Syafina wants to go up that way."

Not how long we arrived at the shopping center which was not too far from the housing complex that became my residence.

"We shop first yes, we just play."

Syafina nodded, and we started to look around for what we were going to buy. I let Syafina walk on her own to just look at what made her curious but still within the limits of my vision so that I could still keep an eye on her, but now Syafina has disappeared, it seemed like he was already next door where snacks and snacks were located.

"Syaphena."

And sure enough, Syafina was already there holding some small food that she really liked, also while smiling accompanied by a person who was no stranger to her.

"Hi."

I approached the three of them, Riana and her little daughter Davina, whose age was only two years above Syafina. Ever since the incident of my awkward encounter with Ana a few months ago when I haven't moved into the new house I currently live in, we met several times on purpose to just chat so we became more familiar.

"Can I really meet you here?"

"Not really ko, I purposely went to your house, this is the same dede kangen Syafina said, just wanted to nyampe to your house, I saw you walk on a motorcycle, so I follow you deh."

After we finished shopping, Ana and I chatted while waiting for Syafina and Davina to play, there was not much we talked about, just small things more to the pleasantries, before he finally discussed about what made him curious since yesterday.

"Oh yes, Mira you mean yesterday is the neighbor next door?"

"The front neighbor of the house, the house is very front of my house, just across the street, why?"

"Mmmhhh, it's okay, just want to know, can't you?"

I nodded in response because now my mouth was filled with snacks belonging to Syafina that had not been spent.

"She's pretty close to you, huh?"

"No, he said Syafina, sometimes they also like to talk together, including the holidays yesterday that he joined because he was taught with Syafina, so I would not want to invite."

Satisfied to play we went home, Syafina came with Ana to ride her car, my groceries were also brought, while I went home alone on a motorbike. I got home first because I did it on purpose.

"Where is Shafina?"

"Syafina has not yet returned to Ra, and her wealth is still alive."

"Well, didn't you go with me? I was here, you weren't there."

I don't need to answer what he asked, it looks like Ana's car has entered the street complex and stopped in front of the house. The car door is open.

"Auntie."

Sayfina got out of the car enthusiastically ran over and hugged Mira, her height that was not up to a meter can only hug only a foot.

"Dear, come home, this is auntie bawain cake."

Syafina is very happy to get a cake from Mira, she invites Davina who just got out of the car with Ana. Mira is surprised to see Ana, they have never met but seem to have both seen. Ana came straight to us.

"It's Mira, huh?"

Ana guessed that the one in front of her right now is Mira, the person who vacationed with me yesterday and also uploaded a photo of my vacation on social media. Mira smiled nodding affirming what Ana was asking.

"I'm Riana, call me Ana."

Ana introduces herself by reaching out, Mira welcomes her, she is glued to see Ana's beautiful appearance, but I think Mira is even more surprised because Ana is wearing sexy clothes that clearly describe her curves.

"Mas, I'm going home first."

Mira said goodbye without having time I invited her to chat together and introduced them even further. It seems that today Mira is exhausted with her work. I invited Ana in, it's not good to have a chat outside.

"He why? I guess she's jealous, huh?"

"Jealous? Meanin?"

I don't understand what Ana just asked, it never occurred to me that I would have a relationship with her or anyone else, at least for now and some time ahead until Syafina herself asked for it. I will only focus on raising Syafina to the best of my ability. I don't want to someday be a father who regrets seeing his son's future destroyed, but I won't force what I want to be that's basically good, either, but not necessarily good for him.

Long enough Ana visited my house, even when the time has shown at nine o'clock at night, Ana has not shown any signs of wanting to go home. Syafina and Davina seemed to be getting sleepy, they yawned alternately.

"You why? Are you getting sleepy?"

Syafina nodded and came to me with my eyes wishing that I would take her to sleep. Ana tidied up her things and took her to the car to get home, but I prevented her.

"Where are you going?"

"You go home, it's Davina, it's sleepy, pity."

Before Ana touched the doorknob with her right hand, I first held her left hand, preventing her from coming home.

"Don't you, just stay here, it's malem."

She smiled but did not agree with what I said.

"Don't, not bad, what will people say if there are girls in your house, widow again."

"Let me sleep outside."

I forced him to stay the night. Maybe it doesn't matter if only she herself came home this late, but because of Davina, I forced her to spend the night and eventually Ana wanted to stay the night, but on condition.

I was confused as to what I should do, but there seemed to be no other choice, I had to keep doing what he asked.

"Well, if that's what you want, I'll do it."
