My Son's Dad

THIRTY-ONE

“See them, where are they together. But still don't want to get married.” Sabrina shook her head puzzled, she glanced next to her where Clara was standing. Clara also looked in the same direction, towards Adara and Markus who were playing with Cherryl.

“I'm sure my son still loves your son, ah no. That fool loves your son very much, your son alone is an expensive sell.”

Clara furrowed her brows, but she did not reply to Sabrina. He agreed with Sabrina.

It's been 6 months since Mark's return, and the relationship between Mark and Adara has also improved with Cherryl.

Cherryl has often said she wants her Mama and Papa together but Markus and Adara freeze every time Cherryl says that.

“Adara's stubborn nature seems to be declining from me, I used to not easily fall into the arms of Damian.” Clara smiled remembering her past memories, if remembered it felt like a soap opera only.

“I think Mark's nature is also declining from me. Only love the same person, and will not be able to open your heart to others. And we were just as stupid, and I used to be stupid to vent my disappointment to Mark. Though the child is not wrong what.” Sabrina rubbed the corner of her watery eyes, she almost cried again.

“Have it. We don't need to discuss the past. No matter how much trouble there is, no life is always straight without twists. All we need to do is focus forward and be careful so that we do not slip and fall on this path of life. We look back just for learning, regretting it is no longer meaningful.”

Sabrina glanced at Clara with furrowed brows. “Since when have you been this wise?”

Clara laughed and Sabrina laughed. Their laughter caused Markus and Adara to turn in confusion.

“Since when are they close?” mkus asked glanced at Adara.

Adara shrugged her shoulders a sign she did not know, both grandmothers were a bit difficult to guess indeed.

“I feel something is wrong.” Adara put on a serious face, he continued to stare at Cherryl who was busy whispering whispers with his two grandmothers.

“What's up?” Mark suddenly appeared, asked and followed the direction of Adara's view. “I don't see anything strange.”

“You can't see? They whispered whisper, there must be something they plan right.”

Markus laughed at Adara's words, “Hey they just play, you're the one who thinks too negatively.”

Adara held her neck, thinking was it true that she was thinking too far away?

Cherryl nodded his head in understanding, not forgetting that he was brandishing his little thumb. He was ready to carry out the plan that he had arranged with his two grandmothers.

Cherryl was bidding to play at his friend's house. A few minutes later Cherryl came home crying, making Adara and Markus panic and immediately approached Cherryl.

“Why baby hm?” Adara cupped Cherryl's cheeks, wiping away her daughter's tears.

“Adam Pa. Adam said last night that Adam slept with his Mom and Dad. Cherryl said Cherryl wanted to, and Adam said he couldn't. Because Mama and Papa are not married.” Cherryl explained still with tears streaming, “Why Mama and Papa are not married?”

Adara fell silent, that was a difficult question for Adara to answer. Although he answered that question Cherryl would not understand.

“Cherryl wants Mama and Papa the same, Cherryl does not want to sleep in turns again. Today with Mama, tomorrow with Papa. Cherryl wants the same. Why can't Cherryl's friends but Cherryl can't?”

Adara's heart ached hearing her daughter say such a thing, not just Adara. Mark felt the same way. More precisely Markus who is more familiar with the feelings of Cherryl because Mark was once in such a position. Envy his friend.

“Have it. Why don't you get married. Officially your relationship, you're like a married couple where together, keeping Cherryl together. Is it hard to get married? Don't reason that you don't have feelings for each other. It is clear that you love each other.” Sabrina interjected with a nod from Clara.

“If indeed you have more feelings for each other why keep delaying procrastination? Do you have to wait for Cherryl to mature first and then you decide to get married?” this time Clara's gonna vote.

Cherryl looked at Markus and Adara alternately. “Then Mama and Papa get married just like Mama and Papa Adam!”

Cherryl's proposal made Adara and Markus freeze, staring at each other for a moment before finally throwing their eyes away in the other direction.

Markus himself was pleased with Cherryl's request, but Markus did not know Adara's feelings. Mark did not want to force, even though he really wanted to marry Adara though.

“Why not answer? Do Mama hate Papa and Papa hate Mama?” cherryl's voice shook, again making his parents was not hearty.

Adara threw away her high self-esteem, hugging Cherryl and patting Cherryl on the back. “Dear baby, Mama and Papa are getting married. Cherryl don't be sad anymore.”

***

“Are you serious about what you said before her?” Markus asks Adara after Cherryl goes to her room, now they both live.

“Iya. Don't you want to marry me?”

Markus shook his head, “Not so, but we don't need to get married if you have to. Cherryl said such a thing because she was a little jad—”

“You should know very well what Cherryl's position is like, right? I don't want Cherryl to feel what you used to feel. I excommunicated his friend's friend. But besides, I used to have more feelings for you, maybe it will not be difficult to make the feeling back there or indeed actually the feeling until now is still there just that I continue to fend it off and do not want to accept the reality. But now is not the time to act like a child anymore.”

Markus nodded in understanding. He took a step forward and hugged Adara. “Alright, I will try hard to make you back to have that feeling or if you already have it then I will make it bigger, as big as I love you.” Markus kissed the top of Adara's head gently.

Meanwhile Cherryl peeked out from a distance with her two grandmothers.

“What does Cherryl succeed Oma?”

“Successful one hundred percent dear.”
