For Cheery

"Good day, sir?"

Rama, my secretary and personal assistant came in with a brown envelope in hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked without seeing it. I myself was focusing on checking some documents on the table.

"This is a report from our man, sir." The man thrust it in front of me.

I picked it up, then looked at Rama and the map in turn. I opened it and saw what was inside. Apparently, my man sent me some pictures and reports about Tari who disappeared a few years ago.

"You call them to stop.!" I then said, re-inserting the photos into the large envelope.

"What is Mr Tian?" Rama frowned, looking at me in disbelief.

"Pay them as I promise."

"So ... The search for Miss Dance stopped?"

"Yes." Yeah." My head nodded.

"Why?"

"Why are you asking?" I looked at the man lazily.

Rama smiled stiffly, feeling uneasy as I looked at him dislikefully. "I mean, hasn't Mr Tian wanted to find his whereabouts all this time?"

"No interest." Reply origin.

Rama nodded, immediately calling his men to stop the search for Dance.

"Have it been done, sir?"

"Good." I smiled, for some reason I felt like I was the dumbest guy ever.

Not without reason, for the past few months I continued to look for the existence of Dance for Cheery. Yeah, all that I did because Cheery asked.

After Cheery's fifth year, I told Cheery about Dance. I don't want to be a selfish man by hiding who Cheery's real mother is. At school, every time the little girl came home angry and crying. Cheery always complained that his friends had a mother. Only Cheery doesn't have a mother like the others. Hearing that always makes me grimace.

At that moment, I decided to tell him. Tell me about who Dance is to Cheery. I could see an innocent face and the gaze of those eyes was full of twinkle as I showed her the photo of Dance. Cheery smiled, then hugged the photo and kissed it occasionally. I who saw it could only smile smirk, and somehow when I saw Cheery hug and continue to call Dance with the call of Mama, I did not feel my tears shed immediately.

I wept.

When was the last time Sebastian Aydan cried?

It seemed like I had never cried before, even when I found out that Dari betrayed me and left us both, I did not cry at all like this.

"Papa, cry?" His instantaneous great-grandson made me aware and anxious.

In a hurry I rubbed the clear liquid from the corner of my eyes, I did not want Cheery to see me cry, and considered me a weak man. Then I smiled, looking at my little daughter while rubbing her head gently.

"Papa, don't cry baby?" I grabbed the tiny body, then carried it into my lap.

"Papa, I want Mama."

"I want to meet you, Mama."

"Bring Mama, Pa. Take Mama home?"

Cheery kept sulking, he asked me to look for his mother's whereabouts. He wants me to bring Dance back. Looking at his attitude that made me anxious, I finally nodded. I complied with Cheery's request even though I was reluctant to do so at the time.

For Cheery's sake, though,

Every day when I just got home from work, the first thing Cheery always asked me was Dance. The boy continued to whine and cry, and luckily I was still able to control him. Although me, Mama and Papa always pamper him, but did not make Cheery grow into a child bamkang, he always obeyed and was afraid just by me just looking at him. Cheery is one of the smart kids, I am proud to have Cheery in my life. I am so grateful that God has brought me a little angel who always makes me smile and eager to live my life.

And I assure you, Cheery won't lack any affection. I will make Cheery happy even without the presence of the figure of Mother at his side.

But in the days that followed, I somehow felt Cheery changed. The boy was not as happy as before, I always saw him crying and talking to Tari even though through his pot.

Feeling unbearable, I finally decided to look for the existence of Dance. For the sake of Cheery, for the sake of seeing my little daughter smile and cheerful again, I should be able to find and bring Dance back.

Mentari, remembering that name certainly makes my heart slice again. How can I love a woman like her?

I'm sorry that I was so blinded by her love that I couldn't see another girl in my life.

But regret is useless, even though the feeling is still there, but slowly my love has faded away. I will try not to love him anymore.

And I can't hate him for Cheery either. Although one day Dance will return, I will not forbid her from seeing Cheery, because after all the woman is her mother. The woman who gave birth to Cheery in this world. And I'm so grateful that Dance left Cheery for me.

"Mr ...."

I looked up, looking at my little daughter who was running towards me with Mama, Asih and also Rama who followed her from behind.

"What's the matter, baby?" I immediately stood up from my oversized chair, stretching out my hands to welcome Cheery's arrival while crouching down. "What are you doing here, huh?" I asked after Cheery managed to sit on my lap.

"Sorry, Mama brought him here. Because Cheery whines to see you, Tian." Said Mama who was nodding back by me.

"No papa, Ma."

I turned my head, looking at Cheery while tidying a few strands of hair behind his ears.

"I want to go for a walk, Pa." Gemas's tweet.

"Walk?"

"Yes." Yeah." The tiny head nodded. "We're leaving, Pa."

"Nr ..." I looked at the circular clockwork on my wrist, it just happened to be a break, and after this my schedule seemed empty. "Where are you going?"

"I want to go to the playground, Pa?"

"All right, but before we go to the playground we go eat first, how about it?"

"By, Pa."

After that I led Cheery out of my room to take him away to play today. While Mama, he asked permission to go home first, I also asked Asih to accompany Mama. Because I'll go alone with Cheery.

As soon as Mama and Asih left, I then entered the car that Rama had prepared beforehand.

During the trip, I always laughed when Cheery didn't stop babbling. Tells about his friends at school, and not to forget it also tells about the cartoon film that became his favorite.

My little daughter kept babbling, to the point that it didn't feel like the two of us had arrived at one of the fast food restaurants. I removed the seatbelt first, then got out of the car immediately. Turn the car around to open the door and take Cheery out.

As Cheery and I were about to enter the fast food restaurant, I heard the voices of some people screaming there. Cheery and I turned, looking in the direction where there was a woman who seemed to be clinging to a two-wheeled vehicle.

"Pa .. pity that Grandma. We help you, Pa?"

Cheery swung my hand. "Yes, let's go there."

Me and Cheery even slightly stepped out wide to immediately see the middle-aged woman, even with several other people who also came over.

Once there, how surprised I was to see the middle-aged woman was my mother, my former mother-in-law.

"Mother ..." I screamed, I immediately walked up to him, then crouched down beside him. While Cheery, the little girl was standing not far from me. "Mommy's not papa, is she?" Tanyanku.

"Son Tian." Mother can still smile when she is experiencing a disaster like this. "Mother is not papa, son."

"Is there a wound? we're going to the hospital now."

"No papa, Son Tian. I just fell."

"But, Ma'am ..." My voice choked when there were some people who came to us, and the person who accidentally hit Mom crouched down and apologized directly to Mom.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I really didn't intentionally."

Lucky Mom did not have any severe injuries, she just fell down and there was a small scratch on her hand. After Mom forgave her, I rushed to take Mom to the nearest hospital to check on her condition. Don't forget that Mom and I thanked the people who helped me.

I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when the doctor who examined Mom said that there were no serious injuries to Mom. He only had minor injuries on his hands. After redeeming the medicine, Cheery and I intend to take Mom to her house.

"Come on, Nak Tian, take the Cheery in." Take Mom when the house assistant hands it has opened the door wide.

My head nodded, then we both led Mom to sit on the living room sofa. Cheery and I sat down with Mom.

"I'm sorry, I'm troubling Nak Tian."

"It's okay, Mom."

Then, Mom told me what really happened. Before the accident happened, he had a visit to the restaurant owned by his brother. In addition to talking to me, Mom also invited Cheery to chat. I saw Mom and Cheery laughing together. And it seems, Cheery likes Mom too.

For a moment I looked back at the whole room in the house. The house that currently looks so quiet, there is only Mom and also her hand home assistant. Then, why don't I see Nayara's whereabouts right now? where is that girl now?

As I was thinking about Nayara, I heard the sound of a car stopping in the yard. Then, I saw Naya with a man entering the house.

I looked at her now, even with Naya who seemed to be very surprised by my presence in her current home.

The two of us looked at each other for a few seconds, before Nayara finally decided her gaze first when she heard Cheery's shrill voice.

"Auntie Beautiful ...!"
