My President

My President
Go Without him



The treatment room was quiet. There was only Aiden and the Mama. There was no other family that night, but usually one of them accompanied Aza overnight in the hospital.


His heart raged, the phone could not be separated from his hand hoping there was an incoming message telling Ailee if it had been found. But no matter how long she waited, her husband and in-laws never gave any news. Has the boy not been found yet?


She asked her husband, but he was afraid there would be no reply. Ah, Aza is masygul. It was very desirable that he ran to look for Ailee, but there was no one to be trusted to keep Aiden's stuff for a moment.


"Hubby..."


"Hubbys...Pick up the phone please.." lirih Aza, she ventured to contact her husband first.


The phone connection was cut off, Aksa rejected the call. Twice the man refused his call.


*****


Aksa was standing in the doorway of Sarah's child's room, where Ailee was there and was already preparing for bed. He stared for a moment at the little angel, never going to sleep and just rolled to and fro. He knew very well that Ailee had a hard time sleeping in a new place.


"Father.." said Ailee when she accidentally looked at someone in the doorway. In his heart, he continued to curse Aunty Sarah because she must have told him.


Aksa began to move his legs closer to his son. He crouched down beside the bed, let out the forehead of the child who was still lying down.


"Definitely Papa wants to get angry with Ailee too?" ask Ailee grimly.


"Did Papa's face look angry?" Aksa even turned around to ask, he curled his lips into a smile so that his pouting son also smiled.


"Broth...Ailee's scared..."


"Mama is angry with Ailee huuu...."


Ailee's cry broke instantly, Aksa immediately carried her out afraid to wake Kimmy who was asleep. Aksa took her to Sarah's living room. His heart was also injured as Ailee sobbed.


"Mama doesn't love Ailee...Mama just loves Aiden..."


"Ssttt, don't say that..." Aksa tried to calm her son. Ailee's face flushed red, tears still breaking.


"Mama loved Ailee. My dear mom is all the same. Mama's tired of having a lot of thoughts and Mama's tired of it..."


"The love of Ailee is only Papa, Oma, and Opa. Mama never loved Ailee, Mama only loved Aiden."


The boy had stopped crying, he was still comfortable in his papa's arms, one who was never angry and felt very affectionate with him.


"Unfortunately Mama to you two is equally. Same Papa too, but unfortunately Mama to Papa more than unfortunately Mama to Aiden and Ailee," said Aksa meant to tease, he also got a pinch on his cheek.


"Don't joke! Ailee's serious!"


"Papa is serious too" replied Aksa twisting his eyes.


Ailee was very anxious with her papa, she pinched both cheeks of the man. "My dad is a real bitch..."


"Ohh, sick dear. The pinch-pinch, really naughty."


"Wildamah! Papa is naughty."


"Dielus-elus just his cheek, don't pinch."


Ailee stopped pinching her papa cheek, she again draped her hand on Aksa's neck. He looked at her who was also looking at her.


"Don't you ever stop loving Ailee? Don't be like Mama." he said grudgingly.


"Hufftt, why are you talking like that? When did you stop loving you? Mama can't stop loving you, Papa is the same. We'll love you and Aiden's brother for a long time."


"Sir President, just take him to the room. Sarah had prepared a room for Mr. President to spend the night in our house," said Faris approached Aksa who was sitting holding Ailee who had fallen asleep.


"I'm sorry to be troublesome" said Aksa unpleasantly.


"Ah, Mr. President does not need to apologize that way, nothing is repotted. Think of it like your own home" Sarah said.


"Then change the certificate of this house into my name, he said tell me to consider it like my own house?"


"Not that time!" said Sarah and her husband in unison. Aksa frowned at the sight of the two of them who were directly emotional.


"Don't yell, my son will wake up."


Aksa laid her baby on the bed slowly. He pulled the blanket over the tiny body. Ailee's tears are still coming, the boy is really sad.


*****


Last night the man of two had promised Ailee that he would take her to the top. They were ready early in the morning. Aksa just wanted her son not to be sad anymore.


"Father, let's we go!"


"Beautiful to you" Aksa praised his son who was ready to go to the top.



"Yep, go!" Aksa then carried her son to the car. A cheerful smile returned on his son's face. It's easy enough to restore the mood of the child.


Slowly the car drove to the top which is also often visited. And this time it will feel different because there is only Aksa and Ailee.


Meanwhile, at the hospital, Aza was cleaning up Aiden's belongings. They'll be home soon because Aiden's condition has recovered. It was really sad, from last night until that morning no family came. I had to book a taxi online to go home.


"Why didn't Papa pick us up?" aiden asked as he sat in the taxi.


"Papa's busy, baby."


Aza returns sad when she gets a message from her husband that she and Ailee will go to the top without her and Aiden. Aza was convinced that her husband was still angry because he hurt Ailee.


"Finally Oma's granddaughter is healed..." Oma Aira greeted Aiden at the door. Kissers also welcomed Aiden's return.


"Don't hurt anymore." added Opa Keno who also greeted him with a hug.


After delivering Aiden to his room, he then headed to his own room. It still looks neat like no one inhabited it last night. Didn't her husband come home last night? Where to sleep?

The peak is an alternative choice for a vacation. The cool air with the view of the hills and green land makes calm. The atmosphere is very different from the capital.


His family's villa looks comfortable, clean, and well maintained. The typical building of the peak makes it always longing. Bi Maryam and Mang Ikin were on the doorstep welcoming the villa owner. Quite surprised because all that came was Aksa and Ailee.


"Chicken Boy! I miss you," exclaimed Ailee who immediately rushed to hug the middle-aged woman of the villa guard.


Bi Maryam returned her embrace. He hadn't seen Ailee in a long time. "Aunt misses you too little princess. Next time call Bi Maryam do not Bi Ayam," he warned. Ailee always changes someone's name.


"Ah, same thing! Bi Ayam, is the strawberry that I planted already fruitful?"


"Already dong, want to pick it? Come with aunt." Bi Maryam then took Ailee to take her to her strawberry garden.


Aksa himself immediately sat in the front seat of his villa letting his son with Bi Maryam. Many tea leaf pickers who pass by want to deposit their results. Friendly people are still tightly intertwined.
