Me Vs Flocking Mommy

Chapter 72. Getting His Figure Back

"Hmm, very fragrant. What are you cooking, baby?" Albert followed his wife into the kitchen. Men look neat in white shirts and jeans shorts.

"Have you taken a shower? I smell soap and perfume" Ghina said.

"It's more fragrant than your cooking. What else to cook, anyway?" Albert looked at the contents of the cauldron and some of the menus that had been served on the dining table. "Gosh, Ghina. You cook a lot?" said Albert.

"What is so much? I'm just cooking squid gulai, chicken rica-rica same vegetable capcay," said Ghina. "So I also want to make a corn basket for our snacks. I'm still eating western food" the woman continued.

"Don't you just say you want to cook waffles?" said Albert.

"The plan is that. But I'm really happy today, because you're on holiday" Ghina said. "I also want to say thank you, because you remember Ella's look and brought her a side dish" Ghina said.

Albert froze in place, hearing Ghina's words just now. "Well, how could Ghina know? Did Ella tell you that?" think Albert.

"Thank you, baby. Thanks to you, Ella can feel the affection of a father again. I'm sure, gradually he will accept your existence" Ghina said sincerely.

"I'm still learning to be a good father, Ghina. I'm not as good as you think I am" Albert said later. "Ah, but this is mostly. How do we both spend it?" said Albert.

"Who says we're just spending it together. Because it's a holiday now, so I sent Ella here" Ghina said with a glowing face.

The deg! Albert's heart almost stopped beating hearing him. He recalled the incident yesterday, which almost wiped the girl's hair. "Ella would want to rest on a gini holiday. Did you ask him?"

"Udah, really. He was happy to come here, while carrying a textbook," Ghina said.

"alright. You can do whatever makes you happy." The young man hugged Ghina from behind and clasped her fingers.

"Ghina, I have two requests for you. First of all, you can't do this homework anymore. And the second, tomorrow afternoon join me in skin care at the beauty salon," said Albert.

"Eh, why all of a sudden?"

"Now you're my wife, not a housekeeper anymore. And I want you to start taking care of and pampering your body, so that your skin is as smooth as a teenager" explains Albert. "You have worked long enough and suffered alone. It's time for you to rest" said the man.

...🥀🥀🥀...

"A long time ago, yes I did not come here," Ella pegged in front of the house of the employer who is now her parents.

"For Ella."

"God! Mr. George, please," Ella exclaimed, holding her chest, to make sure her heart was still in place.

"Yes his abisnya from earlier you just stood outside the fence, while looking inside" said the private security officer at the Albert's house.

"Hehehe, understand sir. I haven't been here in a long time. I think it's a bigger house" Ella said.

"Well, isn't it Ella's house now? Ah, do I also have to call 'Miss' kayak.in the movies too, huh?" said George.

"No, no, sir. It's weird" Ella said. "Yes already. I go in first yes, sir," he continued. The girl then walked towards the side door.

"Well, how did he go through there? It was a custom, then. Enter through the kitchen" murmured George.

"Ma, I'm from .. tang." Bruk! Ella dropped the stuff she was carrying.

"Girla!" ghina and Albert together. The young man immediately released his hand to his wife.

"I'm sorry to interrupt" Ella said

Ella picked up the thing that had fallen off. "Yes, Ma. It's a textbook I have to read" Ella said. The girl placed the pile of books she had brought onto the table, then greeted her parents.

"Is it a holiday today? You still want to learn too? Give your head time to rest, baby," Ghina protested.

Instead of sulking, Ella laughed when she heard her mother nag. "My mom, baby. I am in third grade now. It's not Mama who always reminds me, let me focus on learning?" said Ella.

"Udahlah, dear. Let him study here" Albert said. "He can choose to study in his room or in the back garden" Albert continued.

"uh? Rooms?"

"Yes, room. We have renovated a special room for your room if you live here" said Albert.

"B-but I'm not ready to stay here. It's a long way from school" Ella said.

"It's okay, son. We're not forcing you, though. You can come here anytime. Al, you take Ella to the room, yeah. I want to take a shower first" Ghina said.

...🥀🥀🥀...

"Ella, you're telling Ghina, yeah, if I eat breakfast every morning?" albert asked, as the two walked towards Ella's room. The young man held up a book belonging to his daughter.

"Yes. We are family. So I don't want anything to cover up between me and my mom" Ella replied honestly. "It's okay, right?" continued again.

"It's okay, really. I have no problem" replied Albert. "But why don't you say you don't like yellow rice? I can bring you something else, ", Albert said.

"No need of that. I told you I wanted to try to be independent. After I tried it, the taste of yellow rice was not bad, really, really," said Ella.

The man's footsteps stopped in front of a door. Then he opened it. "This is your room" he said.

"Well, that's huge" Ella said. The teenage girl saw a room with a predominance of white and blue throughout the interior. Fits Ella's favorite color.

A king size bed is on one side of the room. On it is equipped with two pairs of pillows, a cartoon character doll, and a thick blanket that is in line with the bed sheet.

To the right of the luxurious bed, there is a wardrobe that directly merges with the wall with several doors.

In the other corner, there is a dressing table and study table equipped with bookshelves. While in the other part there are carpets and chairs for relaxing facing the window. Some ornamental plants also further beautify the room of the teenage girl.

"Is this not too fancy?" said Ella.

"For you and Ghina, I will definitely give you the best. You're my family now. Your happiness is my responsibility" explained Albert.

Ella clenched her right hand. The high school boy had long since felt no warmth and affection from a father figure like this. "This is what my mother wanted,

"Thank you" said Ella. His tongue was still stiff enough to call Albert father. He kept those words in his heart.

"Well, you can put your book in that closet. We purposely bought you a large bookshelf, because you love to read." Albert pointed towards the glass cabinet located beside the study table. "Oh, yeah. You should also look at the bathroom. You must like it."

"thank you. I like everything" Ella said.

Albert looked at Ella's face. "Well, from now on if you need anything, don't hesitate to tell me or Ghina. You are our only daughter" said the man. "So when do you want to move here?"

"Yes, right. He's mydad. That was what Cleo meant yesterday. I could cry heartbreak. But we have to remember that our relationship is different" said Ella who continues to be determined to forget her feelings for the man.
