Els took Ciara to one of the biggest malls in the capital, the little boy whined to be invited to a playground inside the Mall. It just so happened that the father was in a meeting with several officials of the Bank not far from the Mall that Els visited.
"Mother, Cia wants to ride the Flying Fox later" said Cia on her way to the Mall.
"Cia can ride the Flying Fox? Cia was a child" Els did not know about the rules of the playground that she would visit.
"By dong"
"Cia dare? my mother is afraid of it"
"Bare Mother, Cia is not afraid of anything. Cia's just scared if mom goes again"
"Mother is not going anywhere dear" Els hugged her foster child.
"Promise yes" Ciara brandished her little finger.
"Promise" Els links her little finger to Ciara's tiny little pinky finger.
"Cia dear Mother" the little girl's great-granddaughter squeezed tightly onto Els, as if Els was really her Mother.
After arriving at the Mall, Els and Ciara head straight to Lollipop Island where indoor game rooms are safe and educational for toddlers and toddlers. This playground offers a variety of rides and various types of exciting games such as Flying Fox, Giant Bubble, Game Console, Trampoline, Perosotan, and others, and others that can make children happy to forget time.
After buying the entrance ticket, now Ciara is free to play whatever he wants. The little girl looked happy and enthusiastic playing along with the other children, occasionally Ciara waved her hand at Els and smiled sweetly. Making Els love Ciara even more, somehow Els feels if one day she has to leave the little girl.
"You're his mother?" greet a woman by holding a baby girl.
Els looked here and there to make sure that he was the one greeted by the foreign woman.
"I?" Els pointed at herself.
"Yes, you're the little girl's mother?" the woman pointed towards Ciara.
"Yes, as it seems" Els said. Of course people would think Els was his mother, not his nanny. Because Els was wearing casual clothes instead of baby sitter-style clothes at the age. Not to mention the interaction of Els and Ciara is like a mother and child.
"She's a pretty girl, how old is she?" the woman looked at Ciara.
"Almost four years" answered Els.
"Your daughter reminds me of my daughter, maybe now my daughter is as big as yours"
"His sister?" Els saw a baby girl in her sling.
"yes, but I've abandoned her" said the woman in a regretful tone.
"Well..." Els was shocked to hear his confession.
"I'm sorry if I've surprised you, I'm Sintia" the woman reached out her hand introducing herself.
"Els, Elsava" replied Els welcoming Sintia's hand.
"It's nice to meet you Els, hopefully we can meet again" said Sintia and left the playground.

Ravin walked to the playground visited by his daughter, he was 30 minutes late because the meeting lasted longer than usual. From a distance he could see Ciara playing Perosotan beside Els, both of them laughing together, looking very happy to spend time together. Ciara and Els laughed so loosely like a real mother and child, Ravin often took Ciara to the playground like this as, but he never saw his daughter laugh after that.
"Must I get married again?" muttered Ravin began to think if his daughter really needed the figure of a mother.
"But with whom?" Ravin never again close to any woman, Ravin even severely limited his interaction with his female friends during school or college. His focus is only on working and advancing his business, as well as Ciara of course. But Ravin forgets that giving a connecting mother to his daughter is no less important.
"Ciara" exclaimed Ravin from outside the playground.
"Dad" Ciara waved her hand.
"Dad's here, let's go out" asked Els, and Ciara said so.
"Mother, tomorrow-tomorrow can come here again right?"
"May, as long as father allows"
"Dad must have allowed it" convinced Ciara, because the father never refused his request.
"Are you happy to play today?" Ravin kisses Chubby Ciara's cheeks.
"Cia is always happy to be with Mother" said the little girl.
"Thank you Els" said Ravin sincerely and only in reply nods and a thin smile by Els.
"We eat yes" asked Ravin.
"Cia wants to eat fried chicken, can Mommy?" Ciara asked Els, leaving Els confused as to what to answer, let alone having Ravin with them.
"Why don't you ask Dad?" Ravin felt neglected.
"Because I've certainly agreed to all Ciara's wishes, different from Mother. Mother made a lot of prohibitions, Cia can not eat a lot of candy, Cia can not often eat ciki, Cia can only eat ice cream once every two days, that's a little" the little girl was shaking her lips.
"Sorry sir" said Els, lowering her head.
"Thank you Els, you were right" Ravin said. "That's a sign that you love Cia, you don't want Cia to get sick later, do you think you're mom?" Ravin looked at Els.
"Eh..., Iya Mother does not want Cia to be sick" Els confirmed Ravin's words.
"So, would it be okay if today Cia ate fried chicken?" lirih Cia begged Els.
"May" said Els made the little girl in her father's cradle cheer happily.
"Thank you Mother" said Ciara, smiling back at Els.

After finishing the meal, Ravin invites Ciara and Els to buy some clothes for Ciara. In the clothes shop Ravin only followed Els and her daughter, because Cia wanted all her clothes chosen by her mother, again Ravin was set aside by the presence of Els. But the one-child widower was still happy to see his daughter's happy smile.
"Yes, it's been a lot" Els told Ciara.
"If there is still a good take it" said Ravin carrying a grocery bag containing clothes of choice Els and Ciara.
"Where else would she want?"
"Which mother wants to?"
"According to Mother this is enough, besides the clothes Cia at home has a lot and is still good. Unfortunately if it is not used, what else Cia is getting bigger and bigger today, right?" realistic Els.
"Okay then" Cia said. Then they queue up to the cashier.
After leaving the baby shop, Ravin plans to take them home, because it is already night. But unexpectedly, it turns out Ciara whines asking Dad to buy the same amount of clothes for Els.
"Honey, the mother's clothes are still a lot at home and are still good" said Els, who is sure if she buys clothes in this Mall. The price of one piece of clothing can be three pieces of clothing if Els buy it in the market.
"Dad" whine Ciara.
"Alright, we also buy clothes for Mother" Ravin broke up, there is no harm if buying clothes for his daughter's nanny.
"Sir, do not obey all Ciara's will" said Els.
"Ciara is right, besides your clothes are just that" said Ravin. Indeed, Els only brought a few pieces of clothes when he went to his house, and yes it was the only clothing that was worthy of Els.
"But...." Els is confused what to pay with, if the pay cut can be until next year has not paid off. Because he chose ten steel clothes Ciara, and the little girl was already good at counting. It was not impossible if Els also had to buy ten steel clothes. Having her alone already made Els' head dizzy.
