MY SUNFLOWER

Tactics

...🌻Happy Reading🌻...

During the two days of resting at home, Tristan's situation is now much better. Today he will return to work because of the shooting schedule that awaits.

"I'm leaving." Tristan told Stela who was cleaning the kitchen.

"Yes .. be careful," Stela replied.

After leaving Stela, Tristam approached Ara who was busy watching cartoon broadcasts on television. The man sat next to the nephew and rubbed his head slowly. "Ara.. daddy work first yes," she said. These two days Tristan was indeed trying to get used to calling herself daddy while talking to Ara.

Ara looked up at Tristan with a smile. "Be careful, Daddy" he said and then... Cup, lightening his uncle's white cheeks.

Tristan smiled and kissed the cheek of the kingpin Ara. "Don't be naughty, don't bother mommy!" the message.

"Yes, Daddy," nodded Ara understood.

After bidding farewell to the two women in the house, Tristan immediately left the apartment.

.......

Tristan took a break after the shooting of her first session was over. Vania who had been waiting in the distance, came straight to him.

"This is a drink for you, Tan." Vania thrust a bottle of mineral water in front of Tristan, the man looked up to see the woman he had so deeply memorized her soft voice.

"Oh Vania" she said. Tristan couldn't help but grab the bottle from Vania's hand. "You shouldn't bother, here's been provided drinks and food at rest." Instead of saying thank you, Tristan said something that made Vania grimace.

Tristan gulped down a little water from inside the bottle and then put it on the table in front of him.

"Tristan-"

Drrt.. drrtt...

Just as Vania was about to speak, Tristab's phone vibrating voice preceded her. As a result, Vania's voice was swallowed back into her throat. The woman immediately pouted as she knew Tristan without hesitating to answer the call without turning her head or asking her permission first.

"Hn, what's up Ela?" tristan answered the caller across the street who was none other than Stela.

Who's Ela? inner Vania.

He continued to watch Tristan who was talking, his heart slightly upset when he heard the gentle voice of the man who was talking to no one, who was definitely a woman.

"Ela, you're her mommy. You're free to take it wherever you want" Tristan said after hearing the voice over there.

"Mommy? What if the woman in Tristan's apartment was? Who was called mommy by her nephew. Damn it..," said Vania.

"When you want to go home, just tell me. I'll pick you up."

"I won't let it go" said Vania.

After the phone conversation was over, Tristan saved his phone back. He grabbed the bottle and took it back.

"Who's calling, Tan?" vania asked softly, but in her heart she cursed the woman who had made Tristan ignore her lately.

"Stela," Tristan replied plainly.

"That woman in your house, huh?"

"Hm" nodded Tristan confirming Vania's guess.

Sucks, Vania hissing.

"Is he your brother?" inquiringly.

"Not." Tristan shakes.

"Your lover?" To be honest, he did not want to ask this question, but he had to know what the status of the woman was for Tristan.

Tristan was silent, not directly answering Vania's question as before. A moment later, the man shook his head.

Vania smiled with relief. "Well, if it turns out he's nobody. So I don't have to bother to get rid of those nuisance pests, "her inner self.

"Oh... So she's just your niece's baby sitter, huh?" tukas Vania's.

Tristan quickly turned his head, looking at Vania sharply. He really does not like if anyone thinks Stela is a maid in his house or a baby sitter for his nephew. Vania dragged being stared so sharply by the man beside her, had she mispronounced, her inner being.

"She's not a baby sitter" Tristan said. "She was the one who took care of Ara, but not as a nanny but as a mother."

The corner of Vania's lips twitched faintly, it was so great that the woman got this kind of defense from Tristan, he thought. "I'm sorry." With a flash, he tried to normalize his once-abhorrent attitude and changed his facial expression into regret.

"Hm."

Vania clenched her hands that were above her thighs, furious. He did not expect that Tristan who was once very polite, gentle, kind, and considerate to him was now flat and indifferent to his presence.

All this because of that woman, her inner being is cobbled.

.......

Stela is currently dressing Ara, the little girl looks beautiful with a knee-length baby pink dress combined with a pastel-colored cardigan. Her hair was adorned with white flower bandanas. In her centile style, Ara reflected in the large glass in Stela's room.

"Princess who the hell is this, so pretty," praised Stela who was now crouching behind Ara and looking at the reflection of themselves in the mirror.

"The princess is mommy," Ara replied blushingly.

Stela peeked at Ara's blushing cheeks and then slightly tidied up her slightly tangled hair.

"We're leaving now?" ask Stela. Ara just nodded her head in response.

Stela held Ara's tiny hand, taking her out of the room.

.......

"Mom... Is the house of his Velo-dedek far away?" ask Ara. They are now in a taxi that will take them to the residence of Arya-Risa. Stela longs to see the handsome baby Risa, so she invites Ara to come visit.

"No dear, we'll be there soon" replied Stela.

In less than fifteen minutes, they had arrived at the luxurious residence of the Aryan family. The modern two-story house is the result of the design of the host himself.

"Stela......." Just as the door was opened, Stela and Ara were immediately greeted by the hysterical screams from Risa.

"Sir Risa." Stela chuckled amusedly as Risa hugged her tightly as if afraid she would leave.

"I think you're back in London, " said Risa after her hug came off.

"Not so, Brother."

"Good then."

"Mommy..."Ara who had been ignored, now tugging at the end of the Stela blouse asking for attention.

Risa and Stela simultaneously ducked looking at Ara's tiny body.

"Mommy? Do you have children?" peekik Risa can't believe it.

Ara who heard Risa's high-pitched voice, instantly hid behind Stel's body, scared.

Stela smiled without answering Risa's question. "May we come in, brother. My legs ache from standing for too long" Stela asked.

"Ehh. sorry, let's go to Stel. Come on in, baby!" invite Risa to the petite figure who is still loyal to hide behind Stela's body.

.......

"WHAT?!"

I don't know how many times Risa got a surprise today. The story that flowed from Stela's mouth just now made her agape. He did not expect that Stela had been living with Tristan in the man's apartment and now he also found out that her late brother Tristan's son called Stela mommy.

"Whoah..." Risa could only shake her head in disbelief.

"Why, Brother?" ask Stela. He saw that Risa was speechless after hearing the story that had just come out of her mouth.

"May you be a match," hoped Risa who uttered spontaneously.

"Eh? Stupid, who?" The blank stela did not understand at all with the sentence Risa said.

The one-child woman smiled and shook her head. "I'm whining, don't think about it!" Risa diverts the conversation, let the hope be as she keeps it in her heart.

Stela tilted her head in confusion, feeling strange at the attitude of her former boss.

"Aunty.." Ara's cute voice shifted the focus of the two blond haired women.

"What dear?" ask Risa who feels called.

"Dedek Velo is not aunty..," pointed Ara at the figure of a handsome baby who was asleep on the sofa beside Risa. Previously, the girl had played with Vero who could only open her eyes and move her tiny hands.

"Eh. yes. Dedeknya sleep, aunty move to the room first yes." Risa carried her little son and brought him to the room.

"Here sit by mommy!" call Stela. Ara walked over to Stela and sat down next to her. The daughter of the late Typhoon just immediately lay her head on the lap of the mommy. His face looks sleepy. Stela who understands, chose to rub Ara's head so that the little one fell asleep.

A little while later, Risa returned after breastfeeding and put Vero to sleep.

"Ara sleeping?" he asked when he saw Tristan's nephew had closed his eyes on the sofa.

"Yes" answered Risa slowly.

"Just move it to the room, let it sleep comfortably," told Risa.

"No need, brother. She was afraid that she would cry because she woke up in a strange place. So just let him sleep here" Stela explained.

Stela put the bolster next to Ara's body so as not to fall. The blanket also covered half of his body.

"Want me to cook? Arya will be home for lunch. We can eat together," Risa asked.

"Of course if it's not a hassle."

"No hassle, I'm glad I have a cooking friend."

Two women of different ages walked into the kitchen to prepare food.

.... ...

While frying tempura, Stela's phone lying on the living room table rang. Risa who happened to pass by after seeing her baby in the room, grabbed the phone and saw who called.

"Tristan?" he looked at the name on the screen.

Not to be presumptuous, the curious Risa just answered him.

"Elle..."

I heard a greeting from across there. Risa just kept quiet, letting Tristan wonder why the person she called did not reply.

"Ela?"

Risa was still silent.

"Ela, are you okay? Did something happen? Where is ara? Ela! Please answer me! Ella!"

Riaa closed her mouth holding back laughter hearing Tristan's panicked voice.

"Ela, where are you? Answer me Ela!"

"He's in my house" Risa finally replied. It was also heartless to prank Tristan to the point of making the man anxious.

"Rise?"

"Yes, it's me. Stela is here. He's cooking. Ara is sleeping. Why are you calling?" ask Risa.

"My work is done, I'll pick them up."

"Yes, just come here. We're having lunch together, so it just so happens that Arya's going home this afternoon."

"Hm, okay. See you later."

Tut

The connection was broken just like that made Risa cluck. He put the phone back to its original place and followed Risa to the kitchen.

"Tristan called," he told me.

Stela heard Risa's words, but the focus of her eyes still remained on the frying pan in front of her.

"He's coming here." Risa took out a plate and wiped it. The plate will be used to put the tempura that has been dried oil stela.

"Yes. Tristan already said that."

Risa just nodded and the two women resumed cooking.

.......

Tristan exited the agency building, Vania who was sitting in the lobby waiting for him immediately ran following the wide strides of the targeted man.

"Tristan!" call him pretty loud.

Tristan's steps stopped, he turned around and found Vania running towards him.

"What's wrong?" tanyakanya.

Vania was silent for a moment, normalizing her slightly congested breath as a result of running.

"May I ride in your car, I don't bring a car?" her door. Vania was honest. This morning he left with Fara and now his manager had left first because of an affair.

"Why not just take a taxi?" instead of refusing, Tristan does not want to be late for lunch at Risa's house.

"That's..." Vania's head is down. "I forgot to bring my wallet." This time he lied. Whatever he's gonna do until Tristan agrees to his request.

Tristan thinks for a moment, he intends to give Vania the money to take a taxi but is afraid the woman is offended. Finally, he nodded, allowing Vania to join his car. It just so happened that he also needed the woman's help for something.

"Alright, come!"

Vania walked after Tristan at the back, a satisfied smile on her red lip. This is one of the many tactics he will use.

.......

A satisfied smile was also shown by Stela and Risa, both of them staring at the tempting food that had been presented at the large dining table.

"It's like a party." Risa laughed at the amount of food they had cooked. Only four adults and one toddler will eat. This was all because of Stela's amazing cooking skill so Risa was eager to taste everything.

"I saw Vero first into the room" said Risa. The stela moved from the dining room to the living room, where Ara fell asleep. I want to make sure that my daughter is still good in her sleep.

.......

Tristan arrives at Arya's house, her best friend. He grabbed a large paper bag from the back of his car.

"Come on!" take Tristan to the female passenger who was sitting next to him, who else if not Vania. Tristan asks Vania for help to choose a good birth gift for Vero, but when she wants to take Vania home, she refuses. He insisted on coming because he wanted to see the baby of Tristan's best friend. He said he liked children so much so yes, Tristan felt bad to refuse.

Tristan and Vania get out of the car to coincide with the other car entering the gate of the house. Tristan remembers that it was Arya's car, so she waited for her best friend to get out of the car to get into the house together.

"Yo Tan, how are you?" Tristan and Arya hugged a man for a moment. The last time they met was at the funeral of the late Typhoon and his wife.

"Well," replied Tristan.

"Thank God" said Arya relieved. Then the eyes of the young architect accidentally saw the figure of Vania who stood behind Tristan's body. "Who?" tanyakanya.

"My partner's a model." Tristan's reply made Arya mooh' ria while Vania cursed inwardly. He was upset because he was introduced only as a colleague, even though he hoped for more.

"Yes, let's go in!" take Arya who has walked first.

.......

"I came home." Arya's voice made Risa immediately rise from her seat. He ran to the husband who was still standing at the door.

"Welcome," he welcomed.

Arya immediately kissed his wife's cheek without caring for the two people who witnessed it.

"Tristan, hi.." said Risa.

"Hi."

"Who?" Just like Arya, Risa was also curious at the figure standing behind Tristan.

"My coworker." And the same answer Tristan gave.

Vania shifted her body and showed herself in front of Risa.

"Good day..." Vania was polite.

"Siang," Risa replied as she watched Vania's familiar face. "Aaaaa.. You're the famous model, right? Vania Hermawan?" pekik Risa hysterical.

"Yes, greetings."

"Looks like he could be my ally," the cunning Vania inner.

"Waaahhhh. Hello yes, my name is Larisa. The wife of his best friend Tristan." Risa greeted Vania with great enthusiasm.

"Have enough introductions, can we eat now? I'm hungry" the head of the family protested.

Riaa cengegesan, then came back to Arya and took her arm. "Let's go, we've made a special lunch lo.." invite Risa.

"We?" ask Arya wonder.

"Yes, you'll know later. Come on!" bring Risa. "Tristan, Vania. Come on in too!"

They went straight into the dining room, where there was Stela who was arranging the dishes on the table.

"Stea?" It was the voice of Arya who was shocked to see the appearance of Stela in her house.

"Sir Arya, welcome," welcomes Stela.

"It's good to see you back" said Arya. "Risa was a little upset when she found out you were leaving that time" she said.

Stela just smiled, then her sapphire rolled back, looking at Tristan who was standing on equal footing with a woman she knew so well lately.

"That arrogant model," murmured Stela.

Stela looked at Vania flat, while Vania looked at Stela with her head held up defiantly as well as not forgetting her fiery grin. The woman shimmered. "I won't let you get Tristan, bi*ch."
