Kancil Trio

CHAPTER 15

One Week ago....

" Ma, is our Papa still alive ? " ask Space.

     The question from his eldest son made him shocked. Because all this time he always said that Papa they no longer exist.

" Ke - why are you asking about that ?! " Tantika was nervous asking.

" Yes, because a friend of mine asked. If my Papa is still alive, maybe he is no longer in Indonesia, but abroad ", his blue eyes look at Cantika full of search.

" Kan Angkasa already has Om Arga, Om Fatih, Om Erlangga, also Om Alif ", said Cantika while looking at Space.

" It's different, Ma. This is Papa's Space Bladder ?! " .

     Cantika was just speechless with her glassy eyes. Confused what to say.

Eventually their chatter came to a halt, as Space also no longer extended the matter anymore. The other two children just kept quiet.

                  * * * * * * * *

     Finally, there is only Cantika and Alex in the neighborhood.

" I'm sorry, because as a result of my actions you have trouble ", Alex begins his speech, breaking the silence between them.

" It's okay because it's my destiny. Moreover, many people helped me and supported me " .

" Can I meet my children ?! " ask Alex with a hopeful look.

" Why are you sure they are your children ? " , Cantika felt stupid asking like that.

" Do we need to do a DNA test ?! " challenge Alex.

" You need to know that they are my children !!! " Said Cantika with crossed eyes.

" If it is proven that they are my children, then I am entitled to them ", Alex looked back into Cantika's eyes, with a wounded look.

" It's up to them ?! . Whether they want to meet you or not ! But you don't force them if they don't want to meet !!! " Cantika stands in the line following Alex.

     As they walked towards the door, the door was opened from outside, so Cantika was shocked and her body was shaken. With a swift hold Alex, so Cantika falls on his chest that field and Alex reflexes embrace him. Because of his position, it made the two stunned unconsciously.

     And it turns out that the culprit is his three children. They pushed along the door. Out of curiosity wanted to meet the person their Papa suspected. After talking to Aunt Gaya, and Om Alif.

" Ooops, what else is Mama doing ?! " ask them simultaneously surprised to find his mother who is being hugged.

" Ahem... !! " the two of them quickly - quickly broke away.

" Hey... Space, Stars, and .. "Alex's eyes stared at that one unnamed boy.

" The sky" while smiling the five fingers of the Sky introduced itself.

" How are you all doing ? " Alex squatted so that the children did not raise his head, because Alex's body was very tall.

" Okay..eh ? " They answered and looked at Cantika. What they should call the person in front of them.

" Papa.you can call me Papa. That's if you don't mind " ,

" Papa...? " again they looked at his mother.

     And Cantika was silent, when her children asked her for help.

" Yes, although it is not yet known if you are my biological children. But just call me Papa ", Alex smiled warmly to the Kancil Trio.

" Papa." the three hugged him.

     Alex was crying, because the children were willing to accept him. 

     Cantika could feel what her three twins were feeling. Missing the real father. Maybe because of the thick blood ties between them, so willing to accept each other.

     Although there are others who always act as surrogates for them, they still want their biological father, who has blood ties.

                  * * * * * * *

Alex and the Trio Kancil sit on the sofa with the Star sitting on Alex's lap, while the Space and Sky sit flanking him.

     Cantika prefers to sit in a chair behind her desk, and pays attention to the interactions of the four of them. There is jealousy because the three children are immediately familiar with the men they have just met.

     Once - when he saw Alex stroking the boys' heads or kissing their forehead and cheeks. The smile never escaped the four.

     The digital clock on the table shows five o'clock in the afternoon. It's been an hour since they've been engrossed in their new world.

" Kids, it's late afternoon !! " ,A

" Want to shower here or go home ?! " , Cantika reminded her three children.

" Yes...." All three were disappointed because they still wanted to play with Papa who had just met it.

" Could it be if we don't have to take a shower this afternoon ?! " Said the Star pleading with the flickering of her eyes.

" Can't be !! "

" Bath at Papa's apartment, we take a bath together ?! ", Take Alex.

" Can't be !!!  ", Cantika glared at Alex.

     Amidst the debate, they stopped because of the sound of knocking on the door. And then Arga appeared with a sweet and salty martabak favorite of the Trio Kancil.

" Assalammu'alaikum, his beloved Trio Kancil Om", said Arga as soon as he appeared behind the door.

" Wa'alaikumsalam, Om ! " Reply they are compact.

" This is your favorite martabak" Arga did not realize there was someone sitting with the twins. Because once in his eyes focus on Cantika.

     Alex felt he did not like the presence of men who just entered there. I don't know why his feelings are so uncertain. Moreover, his three children were so enthusiastic about welcoming his arrival.

" Uh... Who is this ? " Tanya Arga who just realized there was a man sitting with his favorite Kancil Trio. 

    Moreover, the Star sat comfortably on the lap of the foreign man. His eyes were full of searching, watching the man whom he was completely unfamiliar with. But he felt unfamiliar with his face.

" Did you know this Papa, Om ! " , the three spirit introduce.

" Pa - Papa !!! ", Arga parroted.

" Yes, Om. Our papa. He put it on, just like the two of us ?! " Said Sky smiling as he pulled down his eyebrows.

     So surprised Arga, then he turned to look towards Cantika asking for clarity. But Cantika just kept quiet.

" We haven't had a DNA test, so don't know ", only that sentence Cantika said.

     Arga knew without DNA testing that the man had a relationship with the twins. Although Arga did not want to admit it, but their faces really - really similar.

 " Come on you guys go shower already afternoon !! ", the Cantika order ended the meeting.

                * * * * * * *

     Alex and Arga choose a city park not far from Cantika's cafe.

" Say who are you ?! " 

" Alex, the father of the adorable twins ".

" Where have you been all this time ?" 

" I'm looking for their whereabouts, but I just met you now ".

" Did you know that I was the lover of their mother !!? "

" The new lover is not yet a husband, right ! " .

" What does it mean you want to snatch the Cantika out of my hands !!! " Arga began to ignite her emotions.

" Why not ???. Especially if the children support us to unite into a whole family ", the desire of Alex is real.

" It won't happen because Cantika and I love each other. My kids love and love me too. I love the three of them !!! "

" As long as there's still a chance I won't waste the opportunity ", Alex stands away leaving Arga looking at him.
