Amara Wants to Have a Mom

5. Suddenly Mother

Alvian's mornings were tidy with casual clothes attached to her body. White T-shirts combined with striped sweaters and corduroy trousers, getting smaller with white sneakers covering his legs.

"Papa.." cried Amara shortly after opening the door of Alvian's room. The man standing in front of the mirror twisted his neck and carved a smile.

"Mr Princess is awake?" alvian asked straightened his stance, then crouched down and spread out his hands. Amara went straight into her arms.

"Muach.." a gentle kiss landed on Alvian's cheek.

"Muachian... Mluach.." reply Alvian on each side of Amara's puffed cheek.

"Mr Princess has breakfast?" alvian asked as he pinched the cheek of Amara's puffer that was neat with her school uniform.

"Never, wait for Prince Charming first." ring Amara, then take over the comb in Alvian's hands and tidy up the papa's hair as usual.

"Come, Papa has a surprise for Amara." Alvian took Amara into his carriage and walked towards the door.

Upon arrival outside, Alvian's steps lead to the room that Anika occupied. Before entering he knocked on the door first.

"Tok Tok Tok..."

"Yes, wait a minute." said Anika from inside there. She just finished her shower, but she had to wear a shirt last night because she didn't have a change of clothes.

"Simple..."

The door opened wide, Amara's eyes rounded to catch the whereabouts of Anika who was standing in the doorway.

"Sister Anika." cried Amara hysterically and then stretched out her hands, she wanted to move to Anika's sling.

Anika momentarily flinched, she regained her senses as Alvian got closer to her and as she felt the weight crumbling at her nape.

"Bad Anika, yesterday why leave me alone?" lirih Amara with pursed lips, then hugged Anika as close as possible.

As soon as Anika and Alvian's bead eyes fused, Anika looked confused while Alvian smiled showing her neat rows of teeth.

"What did you give my daughter, huh? He's not usually this close to a stranger" said Alvian, frowning.

Anika did not answer, she still faithfully sculpted and dissolved in her own thinking.

So the man standing in front of her was Amara's papa? While at the restaurant, Anika did not pay so much attention to her face that she forgot how the man she had accused of kidnapping the child.

"Mother of Amara's Father?" Anika ventured to ask while gently stroking Amara's hair.

"Ehm... That's why I brought you to this house. Amara asked me to look for you, my daughter seems very happy with you." explained Alvian as it is.

"Sister Anika don't go again yes, Brother is here just the same Amara. Amara dear brother," asked the little girl innocently. She was unwilling to let go of her coiled hand at Anika's nape, she was afraid that Anika would leave again.

Seeing his daughter like that, Alvian's heart suddenly slipped. His gaze clouded withstanding the fluid that was pooling in his eye sludge.

With a single tear, Alvian cupped her hands in front of her chest, hoping that Anika would grant her daughter's wish. Her lips moved hinting at the word please without voicing it.

Seeing Alvian pleading like that, Anika's heart was filled. So much love a father has for his daughter that he tries hard to comply with all his wishes.

Without a second thought, Anika nodded, which made Alvian's tears break.

"Thank you, you are indeed a good girl." spontaneously Alvian pinched Anika's cheek and scrambled her hair until it fell apart. It made Anika upset, she sharpened her gaze with piercing lips. Not with Alvian who even smiled by himself.

At the dining table, Ratih has arranged fried rice complete with sausage and eggs Amara's favorite sneak. Usually only the three of them were sitting at the dinner table but this morning they had a new guest.

"Sister is sitting here huh," Amara pointed at the empty seat that was next to Alvian. As Anika turned to look at the man, she was afraid that Alvian would scold him again like last night.

"Sit down!" alvian said, carving a smile. For some reason every time he saw the girl his innate Alvian wanted to smile, for a long time he could be considered crazy if like this continued.

With a heavy heart, Anika sat down as Amara wished, then took the fried rice for the little girl.

"Here, let Auntie bribe!" haggar Ratih, usually every morning he is the one who always feeds Amara before leaving school.

"No need Bi, Amara was fed to Anika's sister." refused the little girl, she wanted Anika to feed her.

"All right, now open his mouth!" anika said softly, Amara opened her mouth wide.

Alvian's heart once again melos see the happiness of his daughter. It was unexpected that Amara could fall for the girl he had just met. Alvian hopes Anika will be a nanny for Amara, so Anika does not need to work at the hotel anymore. Alvian is also ready to pay him more as long as Amara is happy.

After breakfast, Ratih rushed to put Amara's provisions into the bag. Usually Alvian himself who drove Amara to school, but this time Amara wanted Anika to come with them. Inevitably, Anika was forced to agree to it.

"Well Auntie, it's good cooking. Mmuach..." Amara kissed Ratih's cheek, after which she greeted and kissed the back of her hand.

"Be careful, dear" said Ratih reviewing a smile.

Yes, even though Ratih is only a maid but she is already like a mother to Amara, Alvian already thinks of her like a sister herself.

"We go first Bi," Anika took part, then helped Amara get into the car. Not on the passenger bench but both of them sat next to Alvian. At first glance it looks like a husband and wife with one adorable child.

Along the way, Amara seemed so cheerful with funny jolts coming out of her tiny mouth. Anika herself is no less excited so it causes noise in the car.

Instead of being angry, Alvian actually enjoyed the jokes of the two beautiful girls. Just this time she saw Amara this aggressive while joking with others. Amara even freely hugged Anika, kissed her and played the ends of her hair.

Arriving in front of the school gate, Alvian pulled over the car. He and Anika come down and take Amara to the gate.

"Dah Papa, dah Brother, later pick up Amara together again ya." pinta petite girl innocently.

"Dear, now go in. Don't be naughty and study hard!" said Anika.

"Every Queen is beautiful, mmuach..." Amara kissed Anika's cheek, then switched to kiss Alvian's cheek.

After Amara disappeared from his sight, Anika quickly walked over to the car and chose to sit in the back seat. It's really weird for her, she has to be a mother to a child she just met.

"Move ahead!" alvian exclaimed for a moment after reopening the door that Anika was riding on just now.

"But Sir-"

"Don't argue, let's hurry!" Alvian clasped Anika's hand and pulled her down. After that open the front door and push Anika's butt.

"Sir.." ketus Anika glared at Alvian. "I told you not to touch my ass, you pervert. I swear, I'm afraid like this." Anika's scolding is full of frustration.

"Oh, just go in. Do I want to kiss you guys?" seductive Alvian stumped a smile.

"No, no, I don't want to." Anika quickly got into the car.

After Anika sat down sweetly with her kamit lips cursing at Alvian, the man quickly circled the car. He sat back on the steering wheel and drove the car through the highway.
