For Yumna

Fathers Race

Cahyo lay limp on the hospital bed, the wife who kept faithfully accompanied him looked very sad to see the state of the husband.

Before long the door of the room opened, Kevin walked quickly to his parents.

“What happened Bu?” tanyanya panic.

“Your father had a mild heart attack.”

Kevin's shocked. He then looked at his father's face which looked weakly helpless.

Kevin then held the hand of the mother who looked very sad, he then hugged her and said if her father would be okay.

After her brother died from an accident a month ago, things changed drastically, cheerfulness and excitement seemed to disappear from their lives. The sadness left by the first son seemed to make them no longer eager to move on, his father became often sickly and his mother who often pensive alone.

While he was also forced to take over everything, leading the company that was once led by his brother, he was also forced to take over everything, now he has to take over all those responsibilities and make sure that their company has to keep going as usual.

“You go anywhere, son. Mom called your secretary, but she said you weren't in the office.”

Kevin fell silent. It feels like he wants to tell about his success in finding his brother's missing daughter, it feels like he said if in fact his parents have become a grandfather and grandmother, he said, her brother who has been gone for ever turned out to have offspring who will be the successor to their family, but then Kevin thought if this time might not be the time, but, seeing the condition of the father who lay helpless.

Which parents are not surprised when they find out if their children have been secretly married, especially the woman who becomes their daughter-in-law is the woman they have rejected before.

Cahyo, their father has a hard disposition. He had resolutely refused and did not condone his son's relationship with a girl of mediocrity. As a young and successful businessman who has managed to make their company more advanced, the father wants his son to marry a woman who is equal to them, women who have been chosen by him who according to him fit in with their social level.

But instead of obeying the wishes of the father, Danendra who loved his lover at that time even married him secretly without the knowledge of his family, especially the father, and his father, although eventually their marriage only lasted for a while because suddenly without knowing the reason, Danendra was abandoned by the wife who was pregnant with their child.

Kevin becomes aware, behind the life of his seemingly happy and perfect brother, the brother saved his own suffering because he had been left by a loved one until the end of his life he did not have time to see his own biological daughter.

“Kakkak an. As you wish I will bring your son home to us. I promised and I will keep my promise.”

***

Three days later.

From inside his car, Kevin was stunned to see Yumna sitting on the swing with her sad face, in stark contrast to the faces of other children who looked cheerful and excited.

He immediately got out of the car, saw the look on his nephew's face like that made him curious, but then he realized something, today Kindergarten looks more crowded than usual, but he was very curious, many parked cars were also parents of students who came.

Kevin used the crowded situation to try to approach the playground, he wanted to see the nephew up close for the first time. Finally he came before Yumna who was pensive alone on the swing, still with a look of his sad face, with the look of his own eyes, his nephew looked pensively sitting down while bowing his head.

Kevin ventured to approach Yumna closer, hesitantly crouching before the nephew, with a bright look in his eyes, Kevin looked at Yumna's astonished face.

“Hai.” Kevin smiles.

Yumna stared at Kevin innocently.

“Om who?”

Kevin kept smiling.

“Your name is Yumna right?”

Yumna.

“Om kidnap ya?” he asked again still with a look at his innocent face.

Kevin held back his laughter.

“Not. Om not kidnap, om good people kok.”

“Do you want to join the race?”

Yumna looked down even more sadly while nodding.

“But Yumna has no father.”

Kevin smiled bitterly. He immediately remembered the brother who had passed away. What his nephew said was true, he had no father because his father was gone forever.

“How about Yumna race with om only?”

Yumna saw Kevin.

“No. Om not his father I.”

Kevin was silent for a moment.

“What if Yumna thinks this om is his father Yumna?”

Yumna seemed to think.

“Is this om a father sent by God for me because I always pray for father?” Yumna immediately remembered all her prayers during this time.

Kevin immediately nodded while holding haru, not expecting if all this time it turned out that his nephew really wanted the figure of a father.

His nephew's eyes sparkled for a moment. The look on his face changed drastically to be very happy.

Suddenly Yumna stood up and pulled Kevin's hand, quickly inviting him to walk closer to the racecourse.

Yumna keeps pulling Kevin's hand and tells his friends if it's his father.

Yumna's behavior immediately came to the attention of many people. Besides because they were shocked to hear Yumna who suddenly had a father, of course also because of the figure of Kevin who became his father. With a luxurious and elegant suit, wrapped his tall body again strapping, looked to stand gallantly and perfect his handsome face that dazzled almost all women there.

Like others, Naya the mother who had been busy as a race organizer was also shocked to see her daughter with a man, she immediately approached the princess with half a run.

“Yumna!” Naya tries to stop Yumna from prancing around in excitement.

“Delay. Why didn't you tell me that today Yumna's father is coming?”

Naya immediately pulled Yumna towards him.

“Sayang. Can't be like that, he's not your father.” Naya crouched down towards Yumna's ears, speaking a little softly while looking at Kevin gloatingly.

Kevin crouched down, pulling Yumna into his arms.

“Let's love we start the race,” he said regardless of Naya being astonished.

Yumna again prancing with excitement, the two of them then approached the starting line where the father's race run while holding the child immediately began.

Kevin immediately readied himself, opened his suit and rolled up his shirt arms, stared at with astonishment by Naya and the people, Kevin immediately raised Yumna on his shoulders.

Naya could only be stunned by the astonishment of seeing the man enter race after race excitedly with his daughter, both of whom looked very compact and worked well together. Until they finally won a few races.

“Wah this teacher's mother is very smart to find a father for Yumna,” a mother's tease, making Naya surprised.

“Yes, he is very handsome, he also seems rich. Smart teacher mom looking for boyfriend. Anyway you two are very suitable, beautiful and handsome,” other mother's tease.

Naya only smiled faintly, especially when other mothers also chimed in and made her more confused.
