Being a Dad to My Niece

Chapter 60.

Chapter 60

Arga went home to take care of some of her belongings. When he entered the room he was surprised because the situation was neat. Even dirty clothes are gone. He knew very well that his mother would take the laundry rather during the day or after the arrival of Mak Asih. Middle-aged women who often help at home.

"Did you clean my room?" muttered Arga while looking around her room.

Arga did not bother, he took a wallet, a small bag, and changed his clothes. Like a teenager who will go on a date with his lover, he chose some clothes in the closet. After being found to be suitable, the man also wears it.

"Arga, it's mom!" ayu's cry came after knocking on the door.

"What's up, Mom?" asked Arga after opening the door of her room.

Ayu looked at Arga's neat and fragrant appearance. It looks fresh and much younger than its original age. Arga is now 35 years old, but his current appearance is like a young man in his 23s or 25s.

"His handsome son! Want to go on a date with Marsha?" ask Ayu with a big smile.

"I'll take you with me, too" replied Arga.

"Oh, how is this! Eyang asks dad to pick up Alva because he wants to play with her. While you guys want to go for a walk, huh?" There was a look of anxiety on Ayu's face.

Lately her relationship with her mother-in-law so stretched. This is because Sari is angry and has been lied to by her son and daughter-in-law. Moreover, he and his husband often defend Marsha in front of him. The old woman did not accept it. For her the woman who became pregnant out of wedlock was a bad and dishonorable woman, even though it contained the seeds of her granddaughter.

"Yes, we just take Eyang for a walk," said Arga casually.

"Where would Eyang go to the place of many people. He will also complain a lot about achieving" Ayu said with a wrinkled face.

Arga confirmed his mother's words. Sari does not like to go on vacation to places that many people. Plans today they will also visit tourist attractions that are viral and many are visited by people.

"Then, how about now, Mom? I made a promise to Marsha and her family. Alva is also very eager to take a walk. Right now he's waiting for me" said Arga a little riled up.

Her grandmother was often stubborn and all her words had to be obeyed. Otherwise he will be sad or angry, eventually will not want to eat and choose to lock himself in the room.

Not much different from Marsha who is choosing which clothes she will wear today. I don't know how many clothes he's tried, but his heart just doesn't fit. Then, he saw there was a sky-blue colored robe. In line with his clothes Alva, so he decided to wear those clothes. 

Felt already beautiful appearance, Marsha went outside the room. He saw the arrival of his former father-in-law.

"Well, Barata's dad is here? Not that Brother Arga has just come home," asked Marsha who was astonished.

"Daddy's coming here to pick up Alva. He wants to meet and play with her. If you can tonight Alva is staying at my father's house" replied Barata.

"But, Dad. Right now we're all going for a walk together, right?" 

Barata noticed a change in Marsha's facial expression. She also felt bad for her former daughter-in-law. He knew that his mother now hated Marsha and would definitely not want to go for a walk.

"That's .. Dad doesn't know. Whether it will be the streets or not" Barata said softly.

"Is it because Eyang is disgusted by me who is a despicable and dishonorable woman? So that Eyang does not want to get close to me. Even forbid you all to get in touch with me again" asked Marsha with a tightness in the chest.

His heart ached to recall Arga's eye-to-eye words yesterday. She is pregnant out of wedlock, but that does not mean she wants to be touched by many men. The pregnancy happened accidentally.

Bagas came with Indah and Alva. They had just returned from the stall, because the boy wanted to buy some milk candy. On returning from the stall, he hears Barata and Marsha talking.

"What did you mean just now, Marsha?" ask Bagas in a high tone.

A sharp gaze led to his daughter and former besi. Hearing the conversation the two of them had made Bagas angry and did not accept that his daughter was insulted. 

Barata and Marsha are surprised by the presence of Bagas who suddenly appears in front of the entrance. With a face that is red because it restrains anger.

The Alva led by Indah only took turns to pay attention to those adults. The boy was surprised because usually Barata would immediately carry him if he came to this house. However, now everyone was staring at each other.

"Well Grandpa's on the move, huh?" chirp Alva and make everyone there turn their attention to him.

"No. We are talking about something important" Bagas said.

Everyone knows Alva has a smart brain and has a strong memory. So, they did not want the boy's brain to be contaminated by the bad deeds and sayings of the people nearby.

"Alva we ate the candy in the backyard, yuk!" invite Indah while carrying the two-year-old boy over it.

"Mending on the front page, Grandma. We're waiting for Dad there," Alva replied.

Inevitably Indah brought the granddaughter to the front page. He hoped that the three of them would talk slowly. Do not explode and scream, so that it sounds outside.

"Tell me the truth! What exactly happened to Barata?" pinta Bagas with hissing held back emotions.

What attitude will Bagas take? Will Arga and Marsha's love story be hindered? Follow their story, yes!
