Love of the Duda

MEET OLD FRIENDS

Along the way home, both Fandi and Asha were silent. They let Fania continue to chatter about what she did during the school, not forgetting about her eating Asha.

"Dad, we'll stop by at Ms. Asha's house, yeah. Okay, can't you, Mom?" Asha looked back where Fania was. He asked Asha to sit next to Fandi.

"Byeah," answered Asha making Fania so excited.

"Darling, but I have to get to the office again. Poor Om Haris with another employee." Fandi looked at Fania through the small glass, her little girl sulking with her cross-section and her sweet lips.

Seeing Fania again sulking makes Fandi again have to sigh long. He then glanced towards Asha who looked riled up with a cell phone on her lap. Fandi several times saw the unsettled Asha there might be something the young teacher was thinking about.

"Ekhm, Ms Asha is okay if we don't stop by?" ask Fandi slowly. Asha who felt her name called turned her head and looked puzzled. "Sounds you're daydreaming?"

"Sorry, sir." Asha turned to look at Fania who was almost crying because her desire to stop by the house of Asha was not allowed Fandi. He reached out his hand touching Fania's head and smiled warmly as the smiling boy's eyes looked at her expectantly, as if his talking eyes were asking to persuade Fandi.

"Fania can't play at Mom's house, next time it doesn't have to be today."

"But Fania wants it now, Dad can, huh? Fania please!" the door is hopeful.

"All right, but I can't go. Later in the afternoon after Dad finished with the work, I picked him up." Fandi finally gave up. He didn't want Fania going on strike to talk to him. It was the hardest thing in his life when the princess chose to ignore him.

"Hore, the best dad in the world." He then hugged Fandi making Fandi who was surprised to reduce the speed of his vehicle.

Arriving in front of Asha's house, Fandi dropped off to deliver his daughter who looked very enthusiastic. He just drove it to the front of the gate.

"You don't be naughty, in three hours I'll pick you up." Fandi squatted to equalize his height with Fania.

"Ready, Boss." The little girl saluted Fandi like a soldier saluting her commander with a wide laugh featuring a row of clean white teeth. Fandi smashed Fania's head slowly and then stood up.

"I'm tipping Fania, hopefully she won't be a hassle." Asha who Fandi looked at suddenly awkwardly, she immediately nodded and looked at Fania who was also looking at him.

"You don't have to worry, after all I live alone, so if there's any Fania won't be lonely."

"Yes, already. I said goodbye, yes," she said. Not even Fandi left, Fania immediately pulled the hand of Asha to immediately enter the house.

Fandi stared at the interaction between the two. "I'm sorry, Dad." Fandi got in the car and got out of there.

"Fania Mom went to the room for a minute to get changed." Fania nodded, her eyes looking at every corner of Asha's house, so soothing to her. There is a brown sofa that is placed facing the television in the room next to the living room, a room that is only sealed with decorative cabinets. He sat down on the sofa and laid down his body. Leaving the bag she had placed on the living room sofa.

"If Bu Asha were to be Fania's mother, she would be happy." Fandi imagines Fandi and Asha getting married.

"Fania, drink first." Asha turns out to bring him a glass of water after changing clothes in casual clothes and immediately accepted Fania. "What do you usually do at home after school?"

Asha sat down next to him and started turning on the television at low volume. Fania seemed to be thinking seriously, her index finger she pointed to her chin with an upward look and her head tilted. Seeing Fania's adorable behavior made Asha smile knotty. At least the sense of annoyance because it could not meet Ren was treated a little after the presence of Fania.

"Usually playing with Boba." Asha frowned at Fania who was laughing softly. "Boba Fania's friend at home, she's naughty but also funny."

"Cat?"

Fania shakes. "Want to?"

"Eh, I thought it was a cat."

"Fania is allergic to fur, surely if it is close to the cat will sneeze. That's why I'm forbidden to keep cats." Fania explains why she doesn't have a pet cat.

"Truely, if we have allergies should be avoided the cause. Can I ask you something?" Asha seemed hesitant to ask as Fania invited her through a nod of her head. The little girl's gaze now focused on the television screen that featured the cartoon series.

"Where is Mother Fania going? Isn't Mom mad that Fania played here?" Fania looked over and looked down. He was immediately sad when the question came from the woman he wanted to make his mother.

Asha looked guilty, she immediately hugged Fania's body that was shaking from crying. "I'm sorry, Mom, yeah." He tried to calm her down.

Asha unraveled her embrace. "Fania doesn't have a mother. Dad said Fania only had a father."

The tiny hand wiped away the falling feathers drenching her cheeks. "All right, nothing. Fania's father was also kind. Fania should be grateful. Eem, how about now Fania help Mom cook in the kitchen keep us eating."

"Want," he answered enthusiastically as if forgetting the incident some time ago when he was sad.

***

At exactly five o'clock in the afternoon Fandi returned to the front of Asha's house to pick up her little daughter. He looks worried if Fania to make Asha overwhelmed. He had not yet reached the terrace of Asha's house, the door was open. Fania who saw Fandi immediately ran up to him followed by Asha who brought Fania bag.

"Dad." Fandi immediately carried her and received the bag from Asha.

"Thank you, Mom. Sorry if my daughter troubles you." Fania hid her head in the recess of Fandi's neck, looking like she was still sleepy.

"Absolutely not a hassle. Fania still seems sleepy." Asha rubbed softly on Fania's hair. He immediately retreated when accidentally his eyes flashed against Fandi's.

"I'll excuse you then. Thanks again." Fandi immediately headed to his car, where he was involved very carefully when he put Fania in the front seat next to the steering wheel and put a seat belt.

"Why see Fania I remember sister" the monologue Asha who still glanced at the two who were about to leave.

Fandi who was still focused on his steering wheel was shocked by Fania who suddenly asked. "What does Bu Asha think of Dad?"

"Are you awake?"

"Answer, Daddy!"

"Good."

"Beautiful, no?"

"Fania is more beautiful" said Fandi, as he lowered his eyebrows tempting Fania.

"Then I'm married to Ms. Asha, yes." Fandi turned his head back and found his daughter giggling slowly.

"Fania really wants you?" Finally the question came out of Fandi's lips. During this time Fandi deliberately did not tell about his daughter's biological mother because of the request of the ex-wife. At first he who is injured no longer wants to know women and principled can take care of Fania himself. However, since the princess always asks her mother calmly makes Fandi think to be able to come back with her ex because she still has feelings of love for her ex, but the reality must be accepted at this time that her daughter's biological mother disappeared without a trace and may want Fandi to be able to forget her.

"Dad want to love Fania Bunda?"
