My Bule Husband's

The Longing of a Child

A few days passed, Reygan still did not show his nose in front of his children and wife. The man disappeared without giving any news to Naina or her children.

Maybe Naina can hold back from not meeting Reygan. But Giselle, her little daughter was always looking for her Papa. Every day Giselle keeps asking for Reygan's whereabouts.

Blood relationships cannot be lied to. Although they had only met for two days, Giselle was already very attached to Reygan. Even Naina's presence was still not enough for her.

Every day, Naina must find an excuse, so that Giselle is calm and does not whine anymore. Because he doesn't even know where Reygan went.

Naina and her children still live in Reygan's house, for some reason Naina has no intention of moving out of here.

That afternoon, at nightfall, Naina came home from her shop. Arriving at home, she immediately looked for Giselle in her room. It turns out that in his daughter's room there was Steve.

"Steve, Giselle's sleeping again?" steve asked as soon as he saw Steve sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Giselle's hand.

"Mama..." Steve looks worried. "Ma, Giselle's body is hot."

In an instant Naina also panicked. Moving quickly touched Giselle's forehead. Naina hissed as she felt her daughter's body was extremely hot.

Giselle fever. His face was also very pale.

"Oh my goodness, baby. Your body is hot."

"Giselle wake up baby..." Naina grew anxious as Giselle closed her eyes.

"Ma, take Giselle to the hospital." suggested Steve.

"Yes dear. Giselle's body is very hot. Mama's afraid of anything happening to your sister."

Steve was quick. As a big brother, Steve immediately carried Giselle.

Naina and Steve have just been allowed into Giselle's ward by a doctor. Naina's anxiety eased slightly after doctors told her that her daughter was fine.

Naina rubbed Giselle's face gently. His body temperature was still high, but not as hot as before. Giselle, who was half-conscious, opened her eyes as she felt her mother's tender hands.

Giselle shook her head, "Papa... Giselle wants Papa." Without cause Giselle even cried. "Where's papa? Giselle wants to see Papa..."

The boy's voice rang out, leaving Naina stunned. She immediately hugged her daughter, "Don't cry dear. Papa's still working, still can't go home." Naina said she hoped her daughter would calm down.

Instead of being calm, Giselle was getting hysterical. The girl thrashed, "Giselle wants Papa. Giselle kangen.." The boy was stirring with his cries.

Naina couldn't bear to see her daughter like this. Her daughter misses Reygan so much, but at this crucial moment, the man disappears.

"Dear, Giselle will soon meet Papa. But be patient, Papa's still on the way."

Giselle was still unable to be calmed down, making her think quickly. He opened his phone, then looked for the male contact his daughter was looking for.

Naina hesitates to call this number. Not sure the number is still active, as this is the old Reygan number that he still keeps today. Reygan may have changed his number.

Seeing that Giselle was still crying, Naina finally gave a hearing of the contact. And Naina really did not expect, the number was still active. There was a waiting tone for a while, along with that his heart was also pounding.

Naina's face changed as it turned out that her call had gone unanswered. But the woman did not give up, once again dialing that number.

And again, he had to swallow the disappointment. That number is no longer active.

"Papa... Where's papa? Giselle kangen's..."

Giselle's voice resuscitates Naina. His heart was torn to shreds to see his daughter like this.

Naina feels selfish and thinks too much about her own feelings. All this time he thought that only he suffered the most, but he did not.

His children, especially Giselle, also suffered greatly. Since birth, he has never met his real father. Once they met, in a short time they were back apart. Even that longing still hasn't subsided perfectly.

And that's because of who? Obviously it's because of himself. As a mother, she was too selfish. His children desperately need the presence of his father, but he just drove away the protective figure.

For now, Naina could only hug her daughter. Inwardly he promised, not to let his daughter be like this again.
