A widower? Hot Daddy's.

Part 7's

Almiera Shofia Prameswary's

Since last night's incident, today I started working with passion and hope that time will turn around quickly so that I can return home and meet him as soon as possible. It seems that my logic and feelings are starting to fall out of line, logic says "he is a widower, especially having a daughter, is it worth being the one to fill my days?" While my feelings said otherwise, "what does that feel have to be measured by a status?", I was really confused but also enjoyed it, especially when his hand held my hand last night, it felt so hot to my cheek, it was lucky that the lights were out so I'm sure he didn't see my red cheeks. Without even realizing I was smiling to myself.

"Mom."

A patient who came into my work room broke all the beautiful daydreams, I blushed unwell, it seemed like the patient saw clearly the incident earlier.

"Oh yes ma'am, please sit down, can I help you?"

Today's patient didn't come so much for treatment, I'm grateful because it means I can go home sooner. After I saw the news on Angga's social media that Syafina was now sick, I was worried about her condition. Longs and anxieties now fill my mind, although I have contacted Angga to make sure about his condition but still my heart is not calm before seeing for itself his current condition.

At about four in the afternoon I was already rushing home, but before that I planned to stop by a shopping place to buy personal needs and also for Syafina. On the phone note listed a list of items I will buy, including for Syafina.

In this shopping place it is not so crowded that I can quickly pick up the items I will buy. After all the personal needs I have now just to buy fruits and good dehumidifiers for small children, do not forget also I bought a small doll for him. After I finished paying for everything, I rushed back to the car park that I deliberately parked close to the exit to make it easier to get out of the shopping center parking lot. My heart thumped even more imagining that what happened yesterday would happen again tonight.

"May all go well."

After about half the journey, I will finally arrive at the gate of the housing complex. My heart was beating ever faster impatiently wanting to go to his house immediately. After my car slowly passed through the gate, I saw Angga standing next to the car that had been there before, while running my car slowly I saw Ana who was going to get into her car, but before that he took the time to kiss the cheeks Angga. Collapsing was all my hope of happiness tonight, it was hot that this heart saw them do that. I immediately parked the car in the garage and then quickly walked to the room without caring about the groceries that were still in the car, unconsciously a speck of clear grain began to wet the cheeks.

"By guys, it's all the same."

I slashed myself and cursed in my heart while covering my face with a pillow to disguise the sound of crying. Long enough I vented all the tightness that filled my chest. By washing cold water into the wajh, maybe my face can look fresh even though it can not reduce the pain.

"I have to be brave, I can face it."

In front of the mirror, I tried to motivate myself to meet and see Syafina's current condition, after all it has already happened and I should not just stop. I'm jealous, but I don't have it yet, I need to calm down. I went back to the garage to pick up the groceries I had not previously taken, I separated the personal belongings with the items I would give to Syafina. Before leaving, I took one more time to look in the mirror, see and make sure that my condition did not show the face of a woman who had been crying. I take a deep breath and exhale it slowly, this way is indeed powerful enough to calm down when in a depressed state. After being confident and ready, I stepped foot confidently to face what was to come.

Tok to tok.

Enough to knock once, Angga had heard it and immediately opened the door for me.

"Mirror."

Angga smiled welcomingly, a smile that made my strength collapse again remembered the incident earlier. I did not reply to greet him, to the exclusion of courtesy. I passed by without any excuse or pleasantries straight to Shafina's room.

"Malem, honey."

"Auntie."

Syafina as soon as she saw my arrival, she who was sitting at her study table immediately ran to hug me, her height that had not reached a meter was only able to hug up to the thigh. I hugged back and carried her.

"Say you're sick, baby? Not been out yet?"

I hold Syafina's forehead which is now in a sling, to check and confirm her current condition, whether it has been fully healed or not.

"Udah aunty."

"Yes, baby, it's been quiet, was taking the medicine fussy no?"

Syafina smiled shyly, maybe she was embarrassed to admit that she did not want to take medicine.

"She was a bit fussy while taking medication."

Angga's voice confirmed my guess, I turned my head when he said that, but I looked at him still with dislike, better for now I avoid talking to him. I hope he understands my attitude at this time.

"I stay, if you need anything, I'm ahead."

"Oh yeah, auntie brought this for you."

Syafina received a plastic gift from me that contained a cute little doll with long fur covering the entire body of the doll. Impatiently, Syafina opened the plastic that I had given her, and it was clear that she had a happy face when the gift she had received was a cute doll.

"Well doll."

"Don't you love it?"

"Like Aunt, funny."

Syafina hugged me back, the tightness in the chest slightly disappeared after seeing her happy smile after receiving a gift from me.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Syafina shook her head smiling, I saw some big plastic bags in the corner of Syafina's room, it seemed to be seen from the plastic that wrapped it, it was all new stuff, because I was curious to ask Syafina.

"Darling, it's all yours?"

"Yes aunty, from Aunt Ana, that's aunt Ana here."

Answer innocently.

"Oh yeah, you haven't eaten, have you? Here aunty bawain good food is just as nutritious, let you mop up."

"Thank you aunt."

It was still that small that Syafina already understood how to thank him. I took him to the kitchen to eat together, but suddenly I smelled the aroma of cooking from the kitchen and after I saw that Angga was cooking.

"What cooking?"

I made small talk to just ask, but without even asking I actually knew what he was cooking, but my prestige was still too high to budge.

"habit."

Angga looked at me, not forgetting the smile that made my heart melt.

"Eat this alone, I've bought you the same Syafina food."

No need to wait for a yes answer from him I prepared the food I had bought for the two of them, but it seems that even Angga had no intention of refusing, it seemed like he was completely aware of my change of attitude today that made him lazy to argue and just look for the middle ground.

After we finished preparing the food we ate together, but I did not eat with the two of them, I prefer to feed Syafina who seems like her appetite is still normal even though she is in a state of not feeling well.

Cring...

The sound of Angga's cell phone interrupting our dinner, Angga immediately went from the kitchen to answer the phone call that just kept ringing. I didn't really hear what Angga was talking about with the person who contacted him, it occurred to me that the one who contacted it was Ana because when Angga had returned from talking through the phone was a little suspicious attitude, like there was something he was thinking and hiding, he said, I hope it's just my negative thinking. I continued to feed Syafina and had not touched my own food, but unexpectedly...

"You should eat too."

Angga thrust a spoonful of rice and the side dish meant to feed while smiling provoking my heart to beat faster than before. Then there was a sound of restrained laughter from Syafina who apparently noticed the scene earlier when her father bribed me and I shyly received her bribe, even though her mouth was still there food that had not been swallowed.

"Darling why? Eat it not while laughing, it will be sprained."

I was wrongly noticed like that by Syafina, for that I tried to shift her focus from the incident, but it did not work because Angga repeated the same scene and foolishly I could not refuse it. It seems like this time I can clearly see my face flushed with embarrassment, it feels like my cheeks are now warmed up after the same scene twice.
