HUSBAND PROBLEM

Prospective Father-in-Law

“Before I wanted to ask, did you know Shaka has children?”

Ivan's serious facial features made Jean's heart pound even more.

It seems Ivan doesn't like the pleasantries that make Jean even more nervous.

“Iya, I know.”

“You don't mind at all being the wife and mother of Shaka's child?” Ask Ivan again.

Ivan's current question is just like Kayana's last night. However Jean is not only Shaka's wife but will become Shaka's child's mother. Taking care of a baby is not easy. Moreover, Jean has no experience at all to take care of children, especially babies who certainly have to babysit with more attention and accuracy.

The question Ivan asked was sometimes thought of by him even before Kayana and Ivan asked. Sometimes in the interlude, Jean thinks about it, and always fails to get an answer. However, after last night Kayana gave advice to him and also Jean who had already agreed to meet this matchmaking finally he got the answer.

And Jean's answer was sure. Jean is sure to take care of Shaka's child as well as a real mother.

“No, Mr.” Answer Jean

Feeling on the back of his hand, Shaka's thumb moved. Swipe the back of Jean's hand so that the girl is more relaxed.

Seen Ivan furrowed his brows, “You sure?”

“Iya, Sir. I am confident and will strive to be a good wife and mother to Aidan.” Jean said with a reassuring look and face.

Ivan was silent for a moment. Like looking for seriousness in Jean's face. Then smile thinly. “Good. In two weeks you'll be married to Shaka.” He said he went back to sipping his coffee.

Jean's eyes almost came out when he heard the word 'two weeks' thrown by Ivan.

How can it be so fast? I was sure I would marry Shaka. But I haven't prepared myself well.

Jean felt like she wanted to protest because the wedding was so fast. While Shaka Daritadi just silently listened. The man now plays his index finger over Jean's open palm.

“Or one more week? What do you think, Shaka?”

Ivan's question leads Shaka to stop his activities, and Jean is further cornered.

He was very surprised to hear the word ‘two weeks’ now even advanced into one week. Jean just wanted to faint.

“I'm coming with Dad only.” Shaka's answer sounded unhelpful. Jean had hoped Shaka would vote for two weeks.

Well, it's better two weeks than a week.

Jean clenched her palm so that Shaka's index finger was within his grasp. Jean's eyes sharpened, as if calling for his protest. Unfortunately, the man with the nickname dry kanebo did not understand at all. Even a big smile while asking, “Why?”

Jean closed her eyes, giving up. All right, he'll follow Ivan's advice. However, his future father-in-law still looked terrible in his eyes, although Ivan looked relaxed at the moment.

“You mind, Jean?”

Ivan's question made Jean turn his head, looking back at Ivan with a big smile. “Of course not, Mr.”

Ivan put the coffee cup that had been in his hand, “Good. Faster is better, right.”

Jean was only able to answer with an awkward smile.

While Jean who looks like in the interrogation, Shaka back cool with his activities. That is, playing around with Jean's palm.

“You've met Shaka's son?”

“What did you think when you first found out Shaka had a child?” Ask Ivan.

Ivan's question was still a question in Jean's mind. At that time she did not think too much about it, and thought more about her future when she became Shaka's wife later. Added with the thesis that is still not finished makes him forget about Aidan. Though consideration of Aidan is what Jean should think carefully.

However, of course the questions about Shaka's son were still on his mind.

How can Shaka have children? As for what he knows, Shaka is not married at all. Did Shaka impregnate a woman?

Those questions are the ones that until now have not got a single answer in his mind. Although he did not have time to ask Selma, and also he did not dare to ask Shaka. Afraid of offending the man.

It seemed that it was not only Ivan who was waiting for his answer, Shaka was the same. Although the man's fingers did not stop his activity, but his ears listened well.

However, it seems that Jean is unable to answer anything. What he thought was that he would rather be silent than have his words wrong.

“You must be surprised, yes?” Imbuh Ivan because he saw Jean was silent, or did not dare to answer.

Jean hesitantly nodded her head slowly.

Ivan nodded. Now his gaze turned to his son who had been cool himself. “Try, you ask him.” Ivan said because honestly he wanted to see how his son responded to Aidan.

It was silent for a while until Shaka's heavy voice sounded.

“What is the origin of Aidan bothering you, Jean?” Shaka looked up at Jean's bead.

Jean shook her head slowly.

“Aidan is my son. Regardless of which womb Aidan comes from, it doesn't matter because he's just my son. Grandson of Mr Ivan and Mrs Haisa.”

Ivan smiled at Shaka's words. His son had received Aidan well, even mentioning Aidan as his son.

At first when Haisa said she would hand Aidan over to Shaka, Ivan was a little worried given Shaka's rancid behavior. Looking from the glasses of Ivan and Shaka, the son was only the youngest child who was still not fully grown.

In fact, the word ‘adult’ does not mean a person's attitude should always be serious and critical-minded and rational. No, it's not like that. Everyone has their own adult side, of course with different portions and places.

Same with Shaka. Shaka is flat, rancid and looks less serious. However, that is what makes Shaka attractive. Shaka is serious in time, matures in time, and jokes in time.

Doesn't life have to be serious?

Unfortunately, Ivan and Haisa did not see that.

To them, Shaka is still his spoiled and sometimes unruly son. Therefore, Haisa handed Aidan over to Shaka and forced Shaka to get married.

To see his son grow up.

***

At 5pm. It's time for Jean to come home. Shaka offered to. Not that he kicked Jean out, Shaka just felt bad to take the girls out without saying goodbye to his Parents, even though Shaka had contacted Selma. However, it was still not good for a man to carry a girl from morning to night.

They were in a car driven by a driver.

“What's bothering you? Tell me, Jean.” asked Shaka when Jean just looked out. Looks pensive.

Jean looked. “Are we really going to get married in a week?”
