BETWEEN THE CEO AND MAFIA 2

Arga and the Daughter

Andin accompanied Dean to choose toys that the merchant sold in the front area of the hospital. The boy really likes toys. Every day there are always new toys for him, but the next day must have forgotten and asked for a new toy. This time he was holding a truck crane and excavator. Andin teased him to choose just one, so, the boy looked confused choosing one of them. He wants both.

"Come, which one did Dean choose?"

Dean's still weighing. He likes both.

"Auntie.... Get Papa. Dean wants both." Dean's face looks like a child almost crying. Her lips closed and slightly pursed. His eyes are already glazed. Makes Andin so unbearable.

"Okay, well, Dean can take both" he said.

"Horay.... " Dean shouted in excitement.

Andin gave four hundred thousand bills to pay for the two toys. After he finished buying the toys, Andin took Dean back to the hospital.

When he reached the lobby area, he already felt like urinating. Unfortunately he still took Dean and had to drive him upstairs. Though it seems he is no longer strong enough to resist his desire to the toilet.

In the front area of the elevator, he saw a familiar figure. Leta who was holding Livy was accompanied by two bodyguards. Andin had an idea to leave Dean to him.

"Wheel!" yells.

Leta looked towards the sound, "Miss Andin?"

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going upstairs. Madame Prita said I was told to come."

"They're who? Guards, huh?" Andin pointed at the two black-clothed, fierce-looking women standing near Leta.

Leta nodded.

"You take Dean with you, yeah! I'm going to the toilet. You want to, right?"

"Yes, Miss Andin."

"Dean, you're with Leta and Livy, yeah. Aunt Andin's going to the toilet."

"Okay." replied Dean.

When the elevator doors opened, Leta and the men entered. Dean came in too. After the elevator door closed, Andin ran to find the toilet.

Moments later, Andin came out of the toilet feeling relieved. He wants to go straight back upstairs to meet Ayash and Prita. However, when he reached the front of the hallway near the elevator, he saw a man walking with a girl.

Judging from his back, the man seemed to be Arga. Yes, Arga. Men who left her alone on their wedding day. But he's not sure either. Why is Arga there? He had even been telling people to look for him but had not met yet. Today, by chance they could meet?

Remembering Arga alone had already made his heart ache. I don't know what swearing he would have to get out of if the guy was really Arga.

Without a second thought, Andin immediately ran after the man.

"Sir Arga!" yells.

The man stopped his steps and turned his head. He also looked shocked when he saw Andin right behind him.

Plaque!

One hard slap landed right on Arga's cheek. The man remained silent, not commenting on what Andin had done to him. Maybe he also felt he deserved it. He hurt Andin. The slap was nothing compared to the heartache he had given.

"Papa.... "

The voice of the little boy who called him 'papa' further broke Andin's heart. Does Arga have children from other women? He was about six or seven years old, and the boy looked older than Daniel. Does it mean she has trouble having children long before she decides to marry him? Did Arga just play with his feelings?

Andin's eyes are already glazed. Had there not been a child, Andin would have beaten Arga repeatedly until he was satisfied. Arga's men appeared to him and fled without news, when he met secretly he had taken a child.

"Anden.... "

Hearing his name called even made his tears melt. His knees were so weak that he could not stand up. Andin sobbed while squatting. He covered his eyes in shame. Why would he cry over a man like that? The man who had the heart to look at it, should have forgotten it since that night. But, the logic does not work when juxtaposed with the love that is still owned. Because of that love, seeing Arga today is even more painful.

Arga lowered his body to be on par with Andin. He hugged the woman who was still crying. His heart also hurt. Actually, everything that happened was not his wish. He still loves Andin. What he did was also for the good of Andin. Because, he was too despicable to be with Andin.

"Papa.... Doctor Daniel said it was getting better. Later Daniel can go to school again and play with Papa."

"Papa's happy to hear that, honey."

Ayash rubbed Daniel's head. The boy looks healthy now. He's feeling happy. Daniel's recovery was something he had hoped for all along.

There was one thing he regretted in his life. That is, parting ways with Prita. If he could, he wanted to keep his household intact forever. Rice has become a porridge. Something that is broken is irreparable even though his ego rejects that fact. He wants Prita to live happily. Because during his life with him, Prita has suffered a lot. So, whatever Prita will take later, hopefully it will be the best way. Even though he will suffer.

"Papa.... "

"Yes?"

"Why is Papa rarely with Mama anymore? Why can't Papa stay with Daniel like Mama?"

Ayash remembered that a few days ago Daniel was angry that he could not accompany him to the operation. Back then, he was also dizzy looking for the missing Dean. If he could, he also wanted to be next to Daniel.

"I'm sorry, Papa, yeah. Papa has a lot to do." he replied with a smile hiding the true wound in his heart.

"Daddy Bayu also works, but he can often accompany Daniel."

Ayash sighed. He was jealous of Bayu. Both of her children love to tell her flattering stories. Yesterday Dean, now Daniel.

"Papa's getting married again, huh?"

Ayash immediately widened his eyes to hear Daniel's words. He was still very small but could say such words.

"Who told you that?"

"Daniel heard from the people. Sometimes Daniel's stories listen."

"Daniel, listen to papa.... You can't listen to an adult's talk, okay?" Ayash isn't ready for his kids to know what's going on. He still wants them to feel the beautiful days as children with the affectionate memory of both parents intact.

"My friend once told me, he said his mom and dad liked to fight. Every day angry. Finally, her mother separated and she joined her mother. Then, her dad remarried and she got a new mom."

"Papa is married to Aunt Andin, right? So, Daniel has to call her Mama too, huh?"

Ayash held his head. Daniel is only six years old, why is his thinking so far?

"You can still call her Aunt Andin if you don't want to call her mama."

"It's okay, Daniel wants to call him mama. Aunt Andin is good."

Ayash could only smile.

"Papa.... Why did Papa and Mama split? Daniel never saw Mama and Papa fight."

"Daniel, I'm sorry papa, papa can't explain it to you yet."

"Mom and Dad still love each other. Our love for Daniel, Dean, and Livy is still the same, nothing has changed. Same everything. It's just, mom and dad now can't stay one more house. But not because of the hostility."

Daniel was silent for a moment, "If Mama and Papa live apart, who should Daniel go with? Daniel loves Mama Papa."

Ayash smiled, "You can go with whomever you want, dear. You can stay with your mom, or stay with your dad. Want to change to stay with mom papa can also."

"If Daniel lives with Papa, do you hate Daniel?"

There are still bad memories of Maya in Daniel's memory. The kid knows that Maya doesn't like him.

"Nobody hates Daniel. Everyone loves Daniel. If Oma doesn't like it, report papa. Let papa get angry with Oma."

"Don't Papa.... Poor Oma is old when she's angry."
