My Boss, My Son's Father

Surprise

After returning from Rara's office, he entered the room. The dizziness in his head was still throbbing. His body was so limp there was no energy. From this morning until this afternoon, he had not eaten at all. Today his appetite disappeared somewhere.

He is currently unable to think anymore. Remembering Daniel his head immediately felt like it wanted to break. He chose to stretch out and close his eyes for a moment. Even the call from the twins was not ignored.

"Mother why bang? hyx.." The drops of tears melted on Ria's cheek. He's worried about his mother.

"Don't cry. Mother is cape." Rio rubbed Ria's head gently to calm his sister.

"Where's the father bang? Ria wants daddy to hiks" Ria cried as much as she could next to Rio.

They did not dare to enter Rara's room. Because they were afraid of disturbing his mother who had just come home from the office. They knew the mother was tired.

"Later father's phone. Don't cry anymore." Rio wiped the tears on Ria's cheek and hugged her. He doesn't like to see his sister cry.

The time has shown at 8 p.m. But Rara was still in her room. The twins began to feel afraid because it was not as usual for the mother like this.

"Dad's coming. Mother has not left the room since. Hicks.hiks.." While crying Rio called his father.

Within 30 minutes at an above-average speed Daniel finally arrived at Rara's apartment. When she entered, she saw her two sad children. The two of them sat on the sofa with tears. Daniel approached the two and hugged them. Daniel gently rubbed their heads.

"Have you eaten yet?" Both are weak.

Usually for dinner, Rara always prepares. Because Marwah was only in charge of babysitting them from morning until afternoon Rara came home from the office.

"You guys wait here. I'll check on you to the room. After that I'll cook dinner."

Daniel steps his foot into Rara's room. He opened the door of the room slowly. The pitch-black room. Daniel turns on the room lights, and Daniel's eyes are perfectly rounded to see how Rara is doing.

Rara lay unconscious. The clothes he was wearing were still office clothes. His clothes were also wet from the sweat that flooded his body.

"Ra, wake!" Daniel patted Rara's face.

But Rara remained motionless. Daniel is ready to pick up Rara and take her to the hospital. But paused his intention because Rara opened her eyes. His body was very weak, he was unable to speak. He looked at Daniel in silence.

"Good Ra! Why you, baby?" Daniel looks very anxious to see Rara's helpless state.

He's headed for Rara's closet. Then look for comfortable clothes to wear Rara. After getting it, Daniel put the clothes on the edge of the bed. He went to the bathroom again. Get out of there with a small basin filled with warm water and a towel in his hand.

Daniel locked the room and went back to Rara. She was afraid that the twins would come in and see her mother naked. Daniel takes off one by one Rara's clothes. Daniel doesn't care if Rara gets angry. He was unwilling to let Rara be in such an uncomfortable state. Rara wanted to protest but she couldn't do anything. His body is very weak. He just resigned himself to everything Daniel did to him.

Daniel slowly wiped all over Rara's body with a small towel that had been wet with warm water. When Daniel wants to clean Rara's face, their eyes meet each other. Rara looked at Daniel softly and her tears welled up in both corners of her eyes. Daniel's outstretched hand rubbed gently on Rara's face. Daniel drew his face closer and kissed Rara's eyes in turn.

Daniel continued to clean Rara's face with great pain. After all, Daniel put Rara in his nightgown and laid her down. Pulling the blanket to the chest of Rara. He tidied everything up, put Rara's dirty clothes in place.

"Rest then. I'll cook dinner. The kids are hungry." Rara nodded her head slowly.

Daniel went out of the room and closed the door quietly.

"Mother is resting. I'll cook you dinner."

Daniel went into the kitchen and opened the fridge. Take all the ingredients out of there and put them on the table.

"Dad is very hungry." Ria came to her father's kitchen complaining of hunger.

Daniel looked back and stroked the top of his daughter's head.

"A little while dad's cooking is over. Sit down."

He pulled the chair and sat his daughter in the chair. After cooking all cooked. Daniel prepares food for the twins. And don't forget also he prepared it for Rara and put it on the tray.

"Well let's eat together." Daniel called his son.

"Yes dad." Rio Sahut

"You eat. I'll bring food for you to the room."

The two only nodded as the food was full inside their mouths.

Daniel went back into the room. He puts a tray on the table, then wakes Rara to lean on the bed rest. Daniel painstakingly feeds Rara until her food is exhausted. Then give medicine and drinking water.

"Now sleep." Daniel helps Rara lie down and kisses Rara on the forehead before leaving the room.

Daniel was surprised to see the twins already sound asleep on the sofa. Daniel smiled at how innocent his children's faces were during sleep. Very carefully Daniel lifted the twins alternately to their respective rooms.

Upon returning from the room, Daniel washed all the glass dishes and rested on the sofa.

Daniel closed his eyes. He thought about Rara. Lately he did notice Rara's face was often pale. His body was also slightly thinner than usual. She remembers Dr.Reyhan's message to bring Rara a check up to the Hospital.

Daniel saw the wall clock, it was 10 p.m. Daniel decided to stay the night. He was afraid of leaving Rara in such a state.

***

Morning with a beam of sunlight entering the room. Rara woke up by opening her eyes slowly. The first thing he saw was Daniel's handsome face. His fingers traverse the entire surface of Daniel's face. A sense of pleasure spread in his heart when he remembered how slick Daniel took care of it last night. She is happy to love and be loved by the man who is holding her.

"A satisfied look at my handsome face?" Daniel gives a good morning kiss on Rara's lips.

"And, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what? I should've apologized for being rude to you yesterday." Daniel stroked softly Rara's hair.

"I'm sorry for ignoring you when Thomas came."

"Don't talk about that anymore. I just want you to know that you're only mine. And I don't want to be touched by another man even if he's your best friend." Daniel said firmly.

Rara buried her face deeper and deeper in Daniel's arms.

"I love you too. Don't do that in front of me or behind me."

Daniel turned around for a moment to pick up his phone and call someone.

"Nit, please handle all my work today. My wife is sick."

Daniel put his phone back on after the phone connection was cut off. Rara looked at Daniel with her two eyebrows together.

"Why see me like that? Office people we are husband and wife. So don't protest." Daniel understands Rara's gaze on him.

"Are you feeling better?" Rara nodded slowly.

"Later tonight we'll go to the main house. Papi and Mami are waiting for us to have dinner together."

***

At exactly 7pm Daniel was already in Rara's apartment. He picked up his wife and his two children. Rara looks beautiful tonight with a black dress. It was so beautiful attached to her body. Rara's whites are increasingly visible contrast. The hair in the long stall makes Rara more graceful.

"Is everything ready?" Ask Daniel.

"It's dad." Ria answered cheerfully and poured into her father's arms to carry.

Arriving at the main house, the twins gawked at how luxurious their oma and opa houses were.

This was the first time they had encountered oma and her opa. The twins were so excited when they arrived at the door, they screamed for the two.

"Omaaaaaa." Shouted the twins.

"Grandson oma finally came too." Madam Maria welcomed the arrival of her twin grandchildren with great happiness. Don't forget to give hugs and kisses welcome to the twins. The same is true of Mr. Arnold.

They talked for a while before dinner. Rio was in the lap of his op, while Ria was in the lap of his oma. Daniel embraces Rara's warm shoulders and kisses her on the top of her head. Rara leaned her head on Daniel's shoulder. Rara and Daniel are happy to see how happy the twins are to meet their oma and opa.

A waiter came from the kitchen "Master, Madam, dinner is ready."

"All right, thank you." Mr. Arnold took everyone to the dinner table to enjoy dinner together.

Just as they were about to start their dinner, someone came to join them.

"Thomas?" Rara wondered why Thomas could be here as well.

"You." Daniel said with an unhappy look.

"Thomas sit. Eat with us." Bring Mr. Arnold.

"Thank you Ar."

Then Thomas took the spot right next to the twins.

"Why is daddy here?" The twins are also confused by Thomas' presence.

"That's because daddy can be everywhere." Thomas replied with a big smile.

While enjoying their dinner, Mr. Arnold opened his voice.

"Thomas is the son of papi's best friend who is also a client in our company. Papa Thomas also opened a branch of his company in Australia."

Daniel looked at Thomas in disbelief but Thomas gave Daniel a smile. Rara is still trying to understand the purpose of papi Daniel inviting Thomas.

"Om Ar." Rara muttered slowly.

"Don't tell me Ar's always communicating with you was papi??" Rara asked Thomas as she remembered something.

Thomas smiled while nodding.

"What does that mean?" Daniel also spoke up because he did not understand the situation.

Mr. Arnold chuckled at the confused face of the Child and his son-in-law.

"He was the messenger who meant to look after Rara and the twins while in Australia."

Rara's eyes were perfectly rounded and closed her gaping mouth in disbelief at what she had just heard.

"Why don't you ever tell me that." Rara lays out her protest to Thomas.

"If I tell you it's not a surprise hehehe.." Thomas chuckled at Rara's pouting face.

"If he's papi's best friend's son, why don't I know him?" Ask Daniel.

"Of course you don't know him. Since childhood Thomas lived abroad. When he was a teenager his parents returned to Indonesia but Thomas stayed there." Said Mr. Arnold.

After dinner, Thomas was about to say goodbye. But Daniel invites Thomas to talk for a while.

"Thank you for taking care of them there. I can't repay your kindness to them." Daniel said sincerely.

Thomas could see Daniel's sincerity through his speech and gaze.

"Never hurt Rara again. She's a good woman. There was only one man he loved in his entire life. That's you Daniel. Just watch out you dare to do it, I'll take it from you."

"Try it if you dare. I'll eliminate you." Threat Daniel. Then both laughed lightly.

Thomas finally returned home after saying goodbye to Mr. Arnold's family, including the twins. Had hugged Rara despite getting a protest from Daniel, both did not care. Because this is the farewell hug of the two, and I don't know when they'll meet again.
