Happy After Parting With You

Chapter 12

"Have you come home, Vin?"

Not lost my sense of surprise, suddenly from the room– where the little girl was out– suddenly appeared an old woman with hair that was almost all white. The glasses were perched on his nose and the woman looked at me with a curious look.

"Who is he?" Show me.

Mr. Alvin is seen lowering his daughter and approaching the woman.

"He's Rani, one of the workers in the office. He's the one who's going to accompany Ananta today."

Oh, so that little girl was called Ananta, good too.

"Ran, this is my mother, her name is Rahmi."

Mr. Alvin introduced the old woman to me, as a form of respect I approached the woman and kissed her hand.

"You're beautiful." He said while stroking my head. It was like getting a touch of affection from my own mother.

"Ran, I'm back in the office first, please accompany my mother and daughter."

I nodded at Mr. Alvin's request, for some reason I couldn't seem to refuse a job that was beyond my duty. After the man passed I then approached Rahmi's mother who was accompanying Ananta to play.

With a little nervousness I approached the girl who was busy putting together a number puzzle from the block.

"Well, Ananta's smart too, yeah, put it together." With a serious smile maybe I praise the girl's game.

The face that had been lowered suddenly looked up when I heard my voice. His face looked flat and did not show any reaction.

"He's always like that when he meets new people." The woman told me, "there is usually Yuli who accompanies, but because she is returning home she is forced to be with me."

Ah, a familiar name, the same as my real name. Remembering that I was imagining what they were doing at home right now. Did my husband go to work and really work? Or is he enjoying his time with his young wife.

The woman then stood up from her seat and seemed to be about to head to her room, as the woman led to a room behind the sofa. Ananta seemed to want to go with the grandmother but gently told her to stay here with me. He decided to go to the bathroom and promised to return soon.

With her face bent Ananta obeyed the request of her grandmother, she sat back before me.

"Ananta likes what toys?" I asked as my eyes went around to see if there were any other toys.

Next to the sofa are some dolls. I stood up and took them all, and I brought them before Ananta. There is a stuffed cat, dog, rabbit, there is also one stuffed tiger.

Then I told a story about an animal using a doll. And sure enough Ananta seemed interested, he listened to my story carefully.

Even when I told the story of a kitten who wanted to change his mother, he looked very enthusiastic. Until suddenly at the end of the story the girl's face looks sad.

"Why doesn't Ananta have a mother?"

My heart suddenly slipped, doubtfully touching the little girl's hand. And fortunately he did not refuse, instead his face looked up to look at me. There was a puddle of water in his eye patch that was ready to collapse.

"But Ananta has a grandmother and father who love Ananta very much."

I don't want to make the girl sad if I ask about her mother, I also regret having chosen the fairy tale that made the girl hurt. But it's not my fault either because Mr. Alvin didn't tell me anything beforehand.

I moved closer to the girl and grabbed her head, her shoulders shaking like she was crying. I let her cry for a while, then I slowly lifted her chin and wiped her tears.

"Ananta can't be sad anymore, yes, Aunt will be sad."

The girl did not reply, only her eyes were twitching funny. Makes me nervous and laugh.

"Come, let's play again."

I got you some more toys for Ananta. The girl's face quickly returned. Perhaps out of boredom of playing at home, the girl whines and asks for a walk.

After asking permission from Ms. Rahmi who was reading a book in her room, we took a short walk in front of the house. While carrying a stuffed rabbit, Ananta walked cheerfully. He even ran around a little, especially when he saw a cute kitten.

The cat swirled at his feet, and occasionally swiped his head at the girl's feet. He also begged to be able to bring the cat, I forbid it because I did not know in the house it likes animals or not. The girl pouted and malag looked very cute.

"Later if Papa you come home we ask, yes, it is okay not to keep a cat at home. If we can take this cat."

"But if he's lost how?"

"We asked Papa to buy you a new cat, yeah."

Ananta nodded, but he still could not bear to leave the cat. So with a heavy heart I took her home, and the little girl followed. It turned out that the little cat was following us, Ananta's face turned cheerful again.

"Mrn!"

Ananta had already entered the house, his voice sounded loud calling the grandmother. From the doorway I could hear the little girl telling me about the little cat. I also heard him pleading to be allowed to keep her.

"Come on, Grandma, look at the cat first it's so funny."

Seen Ananta pulled the hand of Bu Rahmi to follow him, the woman had asked with her eyes.

"Ananta wants to keep the cat he finds on the street." I answered while following them from behind.

"It's, Grandma, funny, isn't it." Ananta cheerfully showed the cat to the grandmother.

"Dirty, uh, don't hold." Ms. Rahmi exclaimed as Ananta wanted to lift the cat.

"May, yes, Grandma, this cat's pet?"

"Well if Papa you're angry how?"

"Grandma told me Papa, yeah, okay, yeah." The girl kept sulking.

"It's up to you, please, but don't take it inside before your Papa lets it."

I could see Ananta cheering in excitement, he then stroked the cat's head. As he understood the meaning of the touch, the little cat meowed funny.

***

At exactly five o'clock Mr. Alvin returned to his house, after meeting his daughter briefly he then offered to drive me home.

"Auntie's here again tomorrow?" The little girl asked with a funny expression.

I couldn't answer because I didn't want to promise her anything.

"Tomorrow Aunt Rani will be here again."

"Yeah!"

I was stunned to hear Mr. Alvin say, is my job now turned into a babysitter?

"Why did Mr Alvin say I would come back? What about my job?"

I flocked Mr. Alvin with a question, the man was focusing on driving.

"You can still do your job while accompanying my daughter."

My eyes were wide open, does that mean I have extra work?

"Why can that be, sir?"

"Because it looks like you can get close to the kids quickly."

"But, sir, I don't have any children myself."

"From the way you treat Ananta I can tell you're loving."

I exhaled in annoyance, the man could always break my argument. If I were a child lover, God would have given me offspring.

"What if one day I'm being rude to Ananta?"

Mr. Alvin took a deep breath, then looked at me for a moment.

"I knew you wouldn't be that hard."

"What if it really happened?"

Mr. Alvin pulled the car over and pressed the brake pedal. Then the man stared intently at me while bringing his body closer. My body was shuffled and squeezed at the door.

"I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."
