It did not feel like an hour had passed and the three of them had already arrived at the restaurant.
Yes, the restaurant opens from nine in the morning and closes at ten in the evening. There is a wide variety of local food and international food according to the tastes of visitors.
For now, the restaurant has four reliable chefs and twenty employees. Every day Alvian can reach a turnover of around twenty to forty million rupiah, depending on the number of visitors who arrive.
"Papa go to the room first, Amara don't be naughty!" alvian said to Amara who was in his arms. After Alvian took Amara down, she left her daughter and Anika downstairs. Alvian said nothing to Anika.
After Alvian disappeared from Anika's eyes, he took Amara around the place. Both of them talk about everything that comes to their minds.
Tired of walking to and fro, the two chose to sit in the outdoor area. Amara asks for an escrim and Anika orders it.
"Ma, last night why didn't you sleep in Papa's room?" asked Amara innocently. It suddenly made Anika choke until the ice cream she ate was scattered on her shirt. Anika was confused, she did not know what to answer.
Amara could have asked him such a crazy thing. Can a pair of humans sleep together without a clear bond between them? Anika began to be uncomfortable, it seems she was wrong to obey Amara's will from the beginning.
Now Anika is trapped in the middle of a very deep abyss, she is afraid she cannot grant Amara's next request.
"Jeez Ma, why did the meal get so messy like this? Like a little boy," Amara chuckled amusedly, he took a tissue and wiped Anika's lips and wiped her clothes.
Amara is too innocent that she has not been able to distinguish between relationships. She thought after calling Anika by the name of mama, she already had full rights over the girl.
"Why shut up, Ma? Did Mama fight with Papa? Later Amara gets angry Papa yes, Amara does not like-"
"No Amara, no." lapse Anika. He sighed deeply and then threw it away violently. Somehow explaining this to Amara, the boy was too small to understand adult affairs.
"Darling, Mom and Dad can't sleep in the same room. Papa is not Mama's husband and Mama is also not Papa's wife. Our relationship is only limited to employers and caregivers, Amara understands right?" Anika tries to explain in easy-to-understand language, hoping that Amara can understand the meaning of her words.
But suddenly Amara puffed her cheeks with pursed lips. She was not happy to hear Anika's words just now. "Amara wants to go to Papa's room," he said, then threw away the ice cream in his hand and ran into the restaurant.
That made Anika go awry, she was really confused. He was better off facing an adult than that little boy. He wanted to give up and leave.
Anika began to get tired of facing problems after problems that come and go without stopping. He was tired of facing the path of life that was always blocked by sharp pebbles, he was like dead steps sorting out which path he should take.
Will he survive being another figure to Amara, or will he have to stop here? He is unable to continue this strange drama, he is afraid of being trapped too deep so that the difficulty of leaving Amara later. Slow sea it will still happen.
Arriving at the second floor, Anika's footsteps suddenly came to a halt in front of the door that opened slightly. He was stunned eavesdropping on Alvian and Amara's conversation which sounded a little serious.
"Then what does Amara want, son? What Mama said was true, we can't sleep together, it's against the rules." explained Alvian.
"Why, Pa? Friends said Amara, their parents sleep one room and they also have a fat. Amara also wants to have adek like them," said Amara with lips cut, she folded her hands in front of her chest.
Instantly Alvian was stunned to hear Amara's desire that was getting more and more strange. After Amara called Anika mama, then she asked the two of them to sleep together, now she lightly asked for adek.
What kind of joke is this? It felt like Alvian's heart wanted to get out of place, he was like a dead step. Will Alvian soon die standing up to Amara's will that makes him upset high level?
"Remara, this isn't as easy as you might think. To have a brother, Papa must first marry Mama. But the thing is, Mama can't marry Papa." Alvian rubbed his rough face and inhaled as much air as possible. Somehow I convinced her daughter.
"Yes already, then Papa just married Mama so Amara can have a brother" said Amara.
"It's not that easy, Amara. The mother was still a girl, she had never been married. Where might Mama want to marry Papa, Papa is a widower son one. This is impossible" explained Alvian with dark eyes.
Without replying, Amara jumped down from Alvian's lap and ran to the bed and slammed her body there. He was disappointed that neither person understood his will.
"All of you are evil, Amara hates." cried the boy while hiding his face behind a pillow, he was really disappointed.
Alvian who saw it could only snort lethargically, he leaned his back on the back of the chair and looked up towards the ceiling. It's really complicated, he feels like he wants to give up on the situation.
While Anika who was still staring behind the door, finally chose to leave the place. He didn't understand how to deal with this mess. Marriage is not an easy matter for him, he has a deep trauma seeing the household of his parents are destroyed.
He did not want to experience the same incident, let alone marry without love. For him it was not as easy as turning the palm of the hand.
With a gontai step, Anika walked down the stairs. He couldn't think for now, he just wanted to stay away and be alone for a while.
Then Anika approached the cashier and asked for a piece of paper and a pen. He can no longer be in their midst, he will return to his empty life without anyone. Maybe this is the best way for all of them.
After writing a few sentences on the paper, Anika then folded it and left the paper to give to Alvian. He left after thanking the female cashier.
"Sorry Mama Amara, Mama can't stay with you anymore. Mama can't possibly marry your Papa." Anika's inner self with a blurred look and swaying steps like she was floating in the air.
