Ben smiled looking at the face of his sleeping daughter in his lap. Baby Grace seemed so peaceful in her sleep.
At first glance he looked at Maura who was still asleep in her sleep. He knew his wife must have been exhausted by what she had done last night. Just imagine, Ben ordered to fast for almost 3 months should not touch his wife. Fortunately, his busy life keeping Grace and working from home allowed him to suppress his desire to touch his wife.
Last night, when Maura gave him a chance, of course Ben wouldn't waste it. Ben even asks Alicia's mom to see Grace in his room if the little girl cries. But luckily this little lady is not at all fussy so that Ben can satisfy his desire for his wife.
"My Grace is beautiful, if you grow up later, do not be easily influenced by handsome guys yes because in this world the most handsome is just daddy. The greatest Daddy, the daddy who loves you the most. Don't believe the same boy play boy, later you hurt him. " said Ben while stroking his daughter's face gently.
"Not true teaching...!" maura said with a typical voice of a newly awakened person.
Ben glanced at his sleeping wife and closed his eyes.
"Mommy's jealous baby because daddy would rather praise you now. Yes..mommy it is a boy play boy victim..don't follow in the footsteps of mommy huh?"
"If I wasn't a boy play boy, Grace wouldn't be around" Maura said, slowly waking up and looking at her husband with enlarged eyes.
"You're so pretty when your face is bent like that!" woo Ben winked his eyes.
"Benn....!" it felt like Maura threw her husband with a pillow but she abandoned her intentions because Grace was in Ben's arms. Beautiful, what? The hair was fussy and the face was exhausted because of Ben's slightly mischievous attitude asking for rations more than once.
Grace slowly opened her eyes.
"Good morning daddy's son, surely you're thirsty yes.., mommy is fast moving, Grace is thirsty.."
"Darling, ask the nanny to make milk first. I'm gonna take a shower first"
"After ajalah. Pity Grace if you take a long shower"
"Ben, I need to clear your tracks first. Look at this.not just one..." Maura Maura pointed at her neck, chest and stomach.
Ben chuckles. "You didn't reject last night either"
"Sad...!" maura's face became blushing. She picked up her nightgown and put it back on. Then he walked closer to his husband and daughter.
Grace's eyes were wide open but she did not cry at all even though her little lips were already open when Maura brought her index finger closer.
"Darling, beautiful mommy child, now drinking milk made by oma first yes.later drinking new day mommy because it has mommy must be sterilized first from the actions of om play boy.." maura said then immediately headed to the bathroom.
Ben looked at his wife's back with a smile. He is very happy with his current home.
"Grace Holang, now we have oma make milk..." Carrying Grace, Ben came out of the room.
Alicia immediately took Grace from Ben's puddle and asked her nanny to make milk.
"Maura's still sleeping?" ask Alicia.
"Wake up, mom. He's taking a shower right now" Ben said, then sat down at the dinner table and enjoyed his breakfast.
Soon, Maura came down and looked fresh with her house dres.
"Good morning mommy!" greet Maura.
"Good morning, son. Breakfast first. "
Maura nodded. He was very hungry because his energy drained last night.
He is also happy because every day there is always rice in this house. Alicia understood very well that Maura was indeed more happy to eat food that had a rice menu. She feels fuller and has the power to breastfeed her child.
The doorbell rang and a servant opened it.
"Faith...? Caleb....?" meek Maura was a little surprised to see who was coming.
"I'm sorry to interrupt in the morning" Faith said.
"No bothering. After all, it's 10 am" added Alicia who was happy to welcome Faith with her son.
"Caleb insisted on coming. And he did not want to say it until the afternoon" said Faith telling them the purpose of their arrival.
"Oh yeah? What's up, Caleb?" maura asked as she looked at that handsome face anxiously.
"I want to give a gift to baby Grace" Caleb said as he handed her a small paper bag.
"Well...thank you dear!" Maura immediately gave a kiss on Caleb's chubby cheek. He opened the paper bag and found a small star-shaped earring.
"Oh my God. This is so pretty....! I haven't even thought of buying Grace an earring" Maura said without hiding her pleasure.
"Yesterday we went to the store to buy Chloe earrings because Chloe's first earrings were missing one. Suddenly Caleb hit that star-shaped earring. She said she wanted to give it to Grace." Faith's story looked at her son funny.
"Auntie.oma Alicia, put these earrings on Grace yes." said Caleb with a sparkling face.
Alicia and Maura both nodded with smiles.
"Later if Grace's ear has been pierced, then the earrings will be worn by aunty to him" said Maura then ruffled Caleb's thick hair.
Ben who from earlier was just staring at them while cross-sectioned, suddenly spoke.
"Uncle is jealous of you, Caleb!"
Caleb looked at Ben with a confused face.
"You've stolen Grace's first kiss. Now you're the first person to give Grace jewelry. Duh, for a long time uncle will be the umpteenth person for Grace and you are the first person for her" said Ben with a sullen face.
Others laughed at Grace's words, but Caleb didn't. He looked at Ben with a slightly bent face"The jealous uncle was..."
Ben nodded strongly.
Caleb smiled. It seems a little mocking "If Grace was older, Grace would have chosen me over uncle."
"Uncle is old." said Caleb with a sharp look. Unaffected by the others who were getting louder.
"Faith, Caleb's gaze was exactly his father's. Sharp and full of coercion" said Ben. Then I decided to go to the studio.
"Our business isn't finished yet sweet guy..!" ben said as he looked at Caleb, after which he disappeared behind the door.
**********
The day has gone up the night. The hour hand was showing at 10 p.m. Baby Grace is not sleeping.
Maura has given milk, has hugged Grace and cuddled her daughter, but Grace does not want to sleep.
Alicia was in Grace's room when she heard her granddaughter crying.
"Don't Grace have a stomach ache ?" ask Maura.
Alicia took Grace from Maura's sling and placed her on the bed. He then patted Grace's stomach and held Grace's hands and feet.
"The body temperature is good. His hands and feet were not cold. Try giving breast milk again" said Alicia.
Maura undressed and brought one of her breasts closer to Grace, but the child did not want to touch her. Her crying was even louder.
"Darling..kamu why ?" Maura was worried.
"Where's Ben?" ask Alicia.
"Ben has a photo shoot outside the city. But an hour ago I called, he was already on his way home."
"Did Grace miss her papa? Since she was born, until she was almost 4 months old, this time Ben left a little while ago" said Alicia trying to find the cause of Grace's fuss.
"Yes too...Ben always comes home before his bedtime Grace. Grace always sleeps at 8pm and it's 10. But does a child this small already know his father does not exist?"
"Kids know us by our body odor. Maybe Grace's looking for a smell, Ben."
The two mothers of different generations again persuaded Grace.
Ben finally comes, he goes straight to the bathroom, cleans himself and changes his clothes and immediately takes Grace from his wife's sling.
"Daddy's son..Why cry?"asked Ben and then rubbed his nose on his daughter's plump cheek.
Miraculously....Grace suddenly stopped her crying.His eyes flickered beautifully as if to recognize that the one who hugged her was her papa.
"W.we.au..!" Grace makes a baby sound. His hands moved as if they were about to touch his face.
"True mom..he misses Ben..!" maura said without being able to hide her sense of smell.
Alicia also looks haru, "Ben is the best papa for Grace. Mommy is relieved that Ben has changed a lot" Alicia pats Maura on the shoulder, then leaves Grace's baby room.
"Darling...kangen daddy huh? Sorry yes.daddy is late coming home...Grace must be looking for daddy..!" ben said with a face full of guilt. He repeatedly kissed his daughter's cheek lovingly.
Shortly thereafter, Grace fell asleep. Ben put his daughter in his box.
"She must be exhausted from crying" Maura said and closed Grace's box mosquito net.
"I don't want to take a job out of town anymore. Pity Grace if crying continues" said Ben when the two have left Grace's room which is just next to their room.
caretaker Grace went straight into the room when she saw them coming out.
"Darling..have you eaten?" maura asked as the two were already in the room.
"Not yet!"
"I'll have your dinner ready, okay?"
"Not hungry"
"Are you warm?"
"No. I want milk"
"All right.I make milk.." Maura turns her body to go to the kitchen but Ben suddenly pulls Maura's hand.
"I don't want to make milk..!"
"Say you want to drink milk?" Maura was getting upset at her husband's behavior.
"I don't want cow's milk"
Maura began to understand the direction of Ben's conversation.
"Don't Ben. This is Grace's ration..!" Maura covered her chest with both hands.
Ben laughs. He approached his wife and was ready to push Maura to the bed, when she heard the sound of Grace crying from the next room.
"Go see Grace tuh.he seems to be looking for her daddy again" Maura pushed her husband's chest to immediately go to Grace's room.
Ben stepped up though a little unwilling to leave Maura but he also could not bear to let Grace cry.
Grace...Oh...Grace..really a daddy's son...Not willing daddy darling-dear with mommy tonight....
