Mother To Daddy (Close)

eps 2's

"Lo has to come, Ste."

"Yes, I'm working on it, Rin."

"Okay, I wait, then I go first. Bye, Ste." a wave of Erin avenged nod by Stella.

Stella flips the invitation in her hand, where it says Vini's birthday, the daughter of her best friend Erin. Actually he was lazy to come, because there must be a lot of children. It reminded him of Rafa.

Stella breathed a long breath, moving from the cafe where she met with Erin, she decided to go to the mall to find a gift for her nephew.

***

The atmosphere of Erin's residence was very crowded. Several guests were present, Erinpun's house was conjured with cute balloons, children chasing each other, enlivening the event.

After giving gifts to Vini and talking to Erin, Stella decided to go home, because she was actually not feeling well.

While walking out of the house, he accidentally saw a small child sitting alone in a garden chair next to Erin's house. Stella is approaching.

"Hi," said Stella smilingly waving her hand, while in front of the little man who had lowered his head earlier.

"May Aunty sit here?" ask again, after not getting the approval.

The little man nodded lethargicly.

"Whose name are you, baby?" stella asked, peering at the little man beside her who was still looking down.

"Aiden," the little man replied almost in a whisper.

Stella nodded. "Why don't you go inside? Your friends are playing inside the tablets."

"Aiden won't go there" Aiden refused quickly.

Stella. "Why?" tanyanya.

"There all with Mommy, while Aiden doesn't have Mommy" Aiden replies, playing both of his fingers.

Stella gasps. "Where is Mommy Aiden? If only Aunty could know."

"Daddy said, Mommy is in heaven. When Aiden asked him where heaven was, Daddy said it was far away, Aiden couldn't get there" he replied gloomily.

Stella was moved by the answer of the little man beside her, and she remembered Rafa.

"So who's Aiden here with?"

"Sama Aunty Fara, but Aunty Fara said there was some business, so Aiden here himself, will be picked up by Mr. Udin."

It is clear that the sad face of Aiden, when viewed it looks like Aiden's age is not much different from Rafa, if Rafa is still alive.

"You want Aunty to go inside?" stella then, feeling unbearable to see the gloomy face of the adorable little man beside her.

Aiden. "What about Aunty's son?"

Stella smiles. "Just like Mommy Aiden, Aunty's son is also in heaven" Stella looked up at the sky.

Aiden looked up. He twisted the edge of his shirt, "Can Aiden call Aunty, Mommy?" tanyanya nervous.

Stella gasped, the next second both ends of her lips lifted. "How about Stella's Mother?"

Aiden. "Mother Stella?" the repeat doesn't understand.

Stella nodded. "Yes, Aunty's name, Stella, Aunty's son used to call Aunty, Mother," Stella smiled to see the face of the little man who turned out to be very handsome and adorable, with wide eyeballs also lentic eyelashes.

Aiden sparkled, "Okay, Mother," he said enthusiastically.

"Yep" Stella reached out and greeted Aiden.

Stella clasped Aiden's hand, leading him towards Erin's residence, following the event to completion.

*

A few hours later the show ended. After saying goodbye to Erin and Vini, Stella holds Aiden out of the house, looking for the whereabouts of the private driver in charge of picking up Aiden.

"That's Mr. Udin." pointed at Aiden when he saw Mr. Udin standing next to his car.

"Young Master," said Mr. Udin bowed respectfully, opening the door for Aiden.

"Mother, Aiden go home first?" he smiled cheerfully.

While Pak Udin looked confused, why did his young master call the woman in front of him called Mother? And where is Fara? which incidentally the mother-to-be continued Aiden.

"Yes, honey. Aiden be careful, huh?" ballast Stella pinches Aiden's cheek.

Stella smiled and nodded her head, as Mr. Udin looked down respectfully at her.

Aiden opened the windshield, waving towards Stella. "Well.. Mother.."

Stella replied to Aiden's wave, after the car a little far away Stella breathed and turned to her car.

*

"Sir Udin?" call Aiden when he's in the car.

"Yes, sir."

"Pak Udin knows Mother Stella's house is not?"

"Mother Stella?" mumbled Pak Udin remembered. "Who is that, Young Master?"

Aiden grunting. "Mother Stella, Mr. Udin, who was carrying Aiden," he replied.

Mr. Udin shook his head. "Father don't know, sir."

"Huffin.." Aiden bent his lips. "Do you know his phone number?" ask again.

Again, Mr. Udin nodded. "No, sir," said Mr. Udin slowly. It felt bad to see the grim face of his employer's son, from the rearview mirror.

***

Actually, he was with Fara - his lover - dropping off his only son to his schoolmate's birthday.

But, not yet to set foot in Aiden's friend's house, Alvin the assistant told if there was an appointment with a client. If it is not important, Sandy will definitely refuse and choose to accompany the child, but this is a business colleague from abroad, who rarely visits Indonesia. So inevitably she must meet him, and leave Aiden with Fara.

Five minutes after Sandy finished her business, she saw Fara, the lover who was also in the same restaurant with her, with her friends.

If Fara's here then where's Aiden? Is the show finished? But it's only been an hour that he's left them. And all he knew was that such a birthday would be more than an hour, he thought.

Sandy rushed to Fara. "Fara, where's Aiden?" tanyanya to the point.

Fara was quite surprised to see Sandy's presence here, she was a little nervous.

"Aiden's still at his friend's house, baby." Fara tries to act ordinary by slipping spoiled in Sandy's arms.

"Why are you here? Didn't she accompany Aiden there?" his voice raised his voice.

Fara gasped, even her hand detaching itself from Sandy's arm.

"So-so I had a sudden photo shoot, baby. So I stayed Aiden for a while, besides I called Mr. Udin to pick him up, so Fara stuttered, she was afraid to see the flash of anger in Sandy's eyes.

Without answering Fara's words, Sandy immediately passed away leaving Fara. Groped his suit pocket, picked up his cell phone to contact someone.

"Hello, Ma. Where's aiden?" sandy said when the connection was connected.

"Don't Aiden go to his friend's birthday? Same with you and Fara, right, San?"

"Sandy has an important meeting, Ma —"

"Omaaa.." a small child's voice was heard across which it was believed to be his son's voice.

"Sandy, Mama needs an explanation from you!"

Tut

The connection was closed one-sidedly, Sandy sighed tiredly, surely her Mama will scold her after this.

***

"Omaa" Aiden's cry echoed in the luxurious mansion of Van Houten's residence.

"Oma, Aiden had met Mother Stella, she was good with Aiden, Oma," said Aiden enthusiastically.

"Mother Stella? Who is he, baby?" tanya Laras - Sandy's mother - while holding her granddaughter.

"So Aiden met Mommy when she was at Vini's house, she met Aiden when Aunty Fara left Aiden there alone, Oma," Aiden replied with a happy face.

Baras jerks "Aunty Fara leave you alone baby"

Aiden nodded "iya oma he said Aiden came home with Udin sir" Aiden explained innocently

"Oma, Oma," Aiden shook Laras' stupefied arm.

"Yes, honey?"

"Oma, Mother Stella baiiikk. Mother said, Aiden can eat chocolate, but not much. Later toothless kayak granny," Aiden giggled. "Mother also said, Aiden can be friends with everyone, not be picky," he continued cheerfully.

Aiden kept talking about Mother Stella who Laras does not know who she is, and how she looks like. But according to Aiden's story it seems like the woman is a good person.

***

"Ma, where's Aiden?" ask Sandy when she enters the house.

"What does it mean to you leave Aiden alone at a show like that Sandy?" cecar Laras stared intently at his only son.

"I'm sorry Sandy, Ma."

"Then? Where's Fara?"

"He's got a photo shoot, Ma," Sandy replied lethargic.

"good. She would rather work than take care of your child. Remember, Sandy, you married not for yourself, but looking for a mother figure for Aiden," Laras reminded.

"Sandy knows, Ma."

"Then?"

Sandy breathed a long breath. "Sandy's gonna talk to Fara" the final break.

"Remember Mama's message." demanded Laras pass to her room, leaving Sandy standing in her position.

***

"Lo what's the problem with Sandy Far?"

Fara turned to the left, folding both of her hands. "Huh! It's because of Sandy's son. Sandy left me at her children's birthday show, I'm bosen' will have to join the show soan, even actually I don't like children, troublesome," he was upset.

"Gue just stay a child there, let later be picked up as his personal sopor, so I can be cool here with you guys. Uh, yeah, Sandy's meeting here too, shit!" mengaki.

"Heh, you forgot? Lo's boyfriend is widower with one child, if you want his father you also have to accept his son, dong?" the woman in front of him dressed in pink mini.

"If Sandy wasn't rich and handsome, I'd think twice about being his wife" he said.

The woman beside him laughed. "Putusin, that's it."

"Lo son, I'm working hard on him, now you tell me to break up, I don't want to," he refused firmly.

"Yes, you are also not ugly very Far, many want to be the same lo."

"Damn lo, I'm beautiful," he seemed annoyed. "Cowok is a lot, but no one is as sharp as Sandy" he continued grinning.

"Lo has to pretend to be good to his son if so," suggested another.

Fara grinned, knocking on the table with her nails. "Yes, I'll try."
