Loving my Friend's Father

Headstrong

"Cie, who came into contact with the former," whispered Alda. Mita nudges Alda and gets embarrassed. He hoped that Willy would not hear Alda's whisper. But as Willy had heard, Willy also looked nervous in his seat.

Just like Mita. Willy also felt his heart beat faster. Compared Mita. Willy is more in control of himself. Willy managed to master his nervousness. Willy is still acting ordinary.

Salsa stood her back to her father. Today Salsa is more interested in the little sister than her father or older sister. Salsa is not even jealous of her sister who now feels the affection of Mita.

Not long after, grandparents joined the living room. The sound of Salsa laughing when she saw the little guy yawn made the elderly couple curious and finally came out of the room. Same with Alda and Billy. Grandparents and grandmothers can also receive Salsa. Even Salsa was now sitting on his grandfather's lap.

"Welcoming Salsa, how about we have dinner together outside?" ask Billy.

"There's no dinner together, if that happens. Dad didn't come" replied Willy firmly.Grandpa and grandma lowered their heads.

"Sorry Mita. Not that I rejected Billy's goodwill for Salsa's welcome. I have a reason for that" Willy said when he realized that his words could be responded to by Mita as if he was not happy about the welcome intended by Billy. Mita just nodded.

"Alright dad. Just look. How about we take a photo together first" Alda said. Willy agreed. Alda finds out why Willy is not willing to eat with his grandparents.

Alda set their position. Alda tells Willy to sit next to Mita. But Willy pretended not to hear. He looked at Mita who was glaring at Alda. Willy knew, it was a sign of protest if Mita did not want her to sit next to Mita. Willy and Billy choose to stand behind the sofa occupied by Mita. Mita and Alda were next to Salsa in Alda's lap. Grandpa sat next to Alda and Grandma beside Mita. Once their positions are ready. Alda told the youngest baby sitter to take a picture.

"I'm going to go to the room for a while" Alda said after the photo was over. Billy is too. Billy was ready to leave the house. It's like giving Willy and Mita some space. Grandma also came into the room. Until the living room was just Willy and Mita along with Salsa and the youngest.

Mita certainly feels bad. Especially since then. Willy has nothing to say about Salsa. Not wanting to get any more nervous, Mita codes the baby sitter to take the youngest out of her hand.

"Pamit with Salsa's father. We go home now" Mita told Salsa, who was on her father's lap. They sat facing back. Willy looked at Mita for a moment. Then hugged his daughter.

"Bone with my mother, my princess. Come here again tomorrow. Alda's brother will pick you up tomorrow" Willy told Salsa. Salsa shook her head. The thick blood ties made Salsa reluctant to part with her father.

"Thank you" said Willy at last.

"Same as om" replied Mita briefly. Mita reached out her hand to pull her daughter's hand. But Salsa hugged her father's neck tightly.

"Let it be like this for a little while. Maybe he still wants to be with me" Willy said. He saw Mita's face that had been upset because it had several times invited Salsa home, but Salsa did not want to.

"We have to go home now. It's late afternoon" replied Mita. That's not really the right reason. If you're willing, you can go home tonight. But Mita feels so awkward with Willy. Moreover, Willy's attitude is not as warm as it used to be.

"Then. I'll take you home."

"No need to om. We can go home by taxi."

Mita again persuades Salsa to return home. But the boy not only didn't want to. But now the boy was already crying while hiding himself in Willy's chest. Willy looked patiently at his daughter's heart.

"You want to sleep with dad?" willy asked after wiping his daughter's tears.

"You father," Salsa replied with a sob. Mita's getting agitated. If Salsa stays at Willy's. Somehow with himself. Salsa always slept with him. And Salsa couldn't sleep without her.

"Can't om. We have to go home now. Don't go over all the requests."

"alright. Just persuade him to go home. And I don't want my daughter forced or crying because of this" Willy replied upsetly. She hugs Salsa and then helps Mita persuade Salsa to go home. But Salsa still doesn't. This is where Willy realized that the nature of Salsa is almost similar to Alda.

"Myth. You would not be willing to ask you to stay here. But here it is. I want to know your plan after meeting Salsa with myself" said Willy heartily. She was afraid that words would make Mita offended or angry.

"What does that word mean?" asked Mita sharply. That's right Willy's guess. Mita has started to show an unhappy face.

"I mean. Plan for Salsa's time-sharing for both of us" Willy replied at last. That was not the purpose of his words. But seeing Mita's face change. Willy's looking for another topic.

"I don't know either. But I reckon. Immediately gave Salsa the understanding that she could not continue to be together or live in this house."

"Then. You gave that understanding. I'm not good at giving that kind of understanding to a kid like Salsa."

"Kok me myself om. Should I also give you understanding?"

"That keeps him away from me. Wh who?. So you have to take responsibility for your actions now" replied Willy calmly. Mita's getting upset.

"But you're his father. We should take responsibility together. Not giving the job to me completely."

"You don't remember, the last time we met. I've said that I'm pretty sure that she was in your stomach at the time even though you said that you took the Pill. That means our inner bond has been very strong since she was in your womb. So I'm pretty sure, as hard as you can persuade him. He's definitely not willing to go home before his wish is granted" Willy said. He gave her his phone and opened the YouTube kid app to distract Salsa from their debate.

Mita confirmed every word that came out of Willy's mouth. Salsa will not be willing to go home if her wishes are not fulfilled. Which makes Mita confused. What if Salsa also asks to sleep in this house.

"This kind of behavior that needs to be changed early on. I don't want him to grow up to be a kid that all his will has to be obeyed" replied Mita.

"Then. Please change it. I want to see as great as you can change Salsa as you wish," Willy replied calmly. Mita just stared at Willy's face flat.

"Salsas. We go home, son. Tomorrow we come here. Mommy promised to bring you here tomorrow morning" persuaded Mita. But Salsa still shook her head. Willy watched Mita and Salsa alternately.

"Mother home. You stay here without your mother. Wanna?"

Salsa looked at her mother. He then looked at his father.

"Mita, I beg you. Don't just think of your heartache to me. Justjust please. Think about Salsa's feelings too" Willy said, intangible before Mita. Seeing Salsa who was just silent without answering Mita's question. Willy is very sure if Salsa also wants Mita to stay in this house. Willy was willing to prostrate before Mita for the sake of his daughter to feel the affection of his father even though their status was not together. Willy doesn't want Salsa to be like his other children.

Mita shook her head again. He did not want to humble himself back before Willy by staying at this house for any reason including the reason about Salsa.

I don't want to stay in that house for long. Mita takes Willy's cell phone from Salsa's hand. He placed the phone on the sofa and then held Salsa by force.

"Myth. Please don't be like this. Don't be stubborn" Willy said as he pursued Mita's steps. Mita did not intend to stop. He continued to step towards the front gate of Salsa who looked puzzled looking at his parents.
