One Night Being a Young Dad

CHAPTER 25

This time Cean sleeps on a gurney with the Ocean, while Nadlyn is in bed for a passien waiter.

"Uncle before living in Oma's house, where did Uncle live?" Tanya Samudra wanted to know.

"Hmmm.. Uncle studied and lived in London."

"Is London far away?"

"Away. We have to get on a plane to get there." Answer Cean.

"Where is the land above the clouds?" Ask Samudra again.

"Who is in the land above the clouds?" Ask Cean back.

"My Daddy." Samudra said as if remembering what Nadlyn had said when he asked where the father was. "Mommy says Daddy lives in the land above the clouds, has to get on his plane." Another imbibing.

Cean was silent, inexplicably hearing that made his heart go rogue.

"If Uncle comes back to London and passes the country on a cloud, can Uncle look for my Daddy?" Asked Samudra and made Cean look into the clear eyes of the Ocean.

"I want to meet my Daddy, I want to ask him, why Daddy left so long ago, why Daddy left Mommy, is Mommy so naughty that Daddy doesn't want to go home?" The word Ocean involuntarily made Cean almost shed his tears. "I want to take Daddy home, I want Daddy to come when I'm at my school's paternity day carnival. Can Uncle help me?" Ask Samudra expectantly.

However Cean was still silent, and Ocean looked at Cean's face and rubbed his cheek. "Why does Uncle look sad? Did I hurt Uncle?" Ask Samudra.

Cean rubbed the corner of his wet tail, "Ah it seems like my eyes are exposed to dust."

"Sam, get some sleep." Sahut Nadlyn who felt tight to hear all the speech of the Ocean on Cean.

"Sam isn't sleepy yet, Mom." Samudra.

"Since when did Sam dare to refute Mommy?" Asked Nadlyn who already could not control his emotions.

"Mommy..."

"Mommy says sleep, don't talk no more to strangers. He's a stranger, Sam. Why is Sam so easy to get close to strangers?" Nadyn asked with tears she could no longer contain.

The ocean was crying, Cean immediately hugged the Ocean. "Nad, he's sick." Cean.

"He who?" Ask Nadlyn.

"He you call that is my son, Cean. Just my son!!" Nadlyn's jolt that made the Ocean cry.

"Go and never come back, Cean. Go and get used to yourself without us!!" Nadlyn pulled Cean's hand and pushed her body out of the Ocean treatment room.

Robi walks in and sees her daughter in a mess, also seeing the ocean crying in fear.

"What's this??" Ask Robi.

Then Robi looked towards Cean and pulled his collar. "What are you doing with my daughter, badjangan?"

Cean was only speechless, his heart suddenly felt pain and tightness.

"Go and don't see my daughter and granddaughter again. Go like six years ago you left like a loser." Robi Sentak.

"Uncle Rob."

"You want my daughter depressed again? Huh uh?" Robi pulls Cean and pushes him outside the treatment room.

"Dare you come in again, I'll transfer Sam to another hospital and don't expect you to see him again." Robi then closed the door of the Ocean treatment room.

Robi looked at the crying Nadlyn while hugging the Ocean. Tired from work makes him tired when he sees his daughter crying again.

"Nad.." Call Robi.

"Mk..." This time Robi called Sam.

"Tell Papa, Nad. What's up?" Robi asked while Nadlyn just shook her head.

"Nadlyn sleepy, Pa.. Nadlyn wants to sleep." Nadlyn replies and Robi helps Nadlyn to lay down with the Ocean on a gurney.

The next day, Samudra was allowed to go home, Nadlyn did not see Cean again in the hospital until the return of the Ocean. Nadlyn did not want to give news of the return of the Ocean to Nanda and Pras and strangely Pras and Nanda also arrived suddenly never again heard from nor asked the news of the Ocean to Nadlyn.

Since returning home from the hospital, Samudra became a quiet child. No more curiosity with many questions. Even Samudra tends to be a grumpy kid.

"Mk...." Call Nadlyn. "Take the medicine first."

Samudra only complied without refuting, after which he went back up to his bed and slept his back to Nadlyn.

Nadlyn only sighed, he allowed such an Ocean to improve on its own.

"How's the Ocean?" Ask Dirga who was at Nadlyn's house after coming home from work.

Nadlyn smiled with a tired smile. "It's still the same."

Dirga fell silent, then spoke. "Did Sam know if Cean was his Daddy?" Dirga asked which made Nadlyn look at Dirga's face.

"Mommy Nanda couldn't have told Sam."

"What if Cean told Sam that himself?"

"No way, Cean was too cowardly to admit himself as Daddy in front of Sam."

Two months passed, Nadlyn felt awkward because her in-laws did not contact her, did Nadlyn's last words make Nanda offended? Though Nadlyn still allows Nanda to meet the Ocean if it's in Robi's house.

"Nad, can today go to ARDA KARYA's office?" Ask Robi.

"What's wrong, Pa?" Nadlyn asked in surprise.

"Let's know, just your family-in-law's lawyer wants to meet you and Papa at the company." The answer.

"Does this have anything to do with Papa's retirement remaining one month away and the matter of receiving 30% shares as Papa's dedication?"

Robi shakes her shoulders. "Maybe. Come at noon at two."

"Nadlyn will do it." Answer Nadlyn.

Since his discharge from the hospital and for two months, Samudra has only been taken care of by a nanny who is usually called Nanny. The ocean never whined or objected even though sometimes he asked to be delivered to Nanda's house, Omanya.

"Sam, spend your rest, yeah." Nadlyn said while tidying Samudrra's lunch box into his bag.

"Yes, Mom." Answer the Ocean briefly.

"Sam, tomorrow's holiday Grandpa will take you to the dinosurus park. Don't you want to go there?" Ask Robi.

"No way, Cake. Sam's just gonna color it at home." Answer Ocean.

Robi and Nadlyn sat at each other, the change of the Ocean was very drastic. There was no longer a carefree Ocean and many asked.

During the day, Nadlyn was already inside the ARDA KARYA office. Nadlyn immediately went to Robi's room because he already knew the place.

"You've come, Nad." Sapa Robi kissing Nadlyn's cheek.

"Am I late, Pa?" Ask Nadlyn.

"No, Papa just finished a meeting." Answer Robi. "Let's go to the president's room." Take Robi.

Nadlyn held back her steps. "Presidential Chamber?"

"Just calm down, Nad. The president's room is still held by Mommy Nanda. Not Cean. Cean has not received a handover from your In-laws, Papa also does not know why Nanda has not handed over the position to Cean, even though Papa has one more month to retire." Answer Robi.

"But what if Cean's there?" Nanda was so worried. The anger grew because Cean just disappeared for two months. Do something to Nadlyn. Think Nadlyn.

"There's Papa, Papa will protect you if Cean hurts you." Robi.
