Papa's Little Daughter
Peek Cheeks
The goddess was staring at the figure of her smallest granddaughter who was eating breakfast at the dining table. The goddess sat not far from Shan, observing Shan every inch of the part that was on her body.
One thing that Dewi was able to catch after observing the boy was that Shan's two extremely adorable puffed cheeks were now shrinking. Not as busy as the last time we met.
"Shan is the food in your apartment not good?"
Shan whose gaze focused on the plate in front of him suddenly turned towards the grandmother. "Emm it's good. In the same apartment papa masakin delicious eggs continue."
The goddess nodded her head hearing Shan's reply. Her soft hand was now stroking Shan's jet mane slowly. "Shan don't play mulu ya, enough rest huh dear. In the afternoon also do not forget to bobok. This uti-liat Shan now kurusan deh, surely Shan likes to forget the time yes if playing? No time for a break, right?"
The goddess as a grandmother was certainly very worried. Moreover, Shan was now off his guard. Shan left Chandra to work and all day with the nanny. Yes, last night Chandra told me that Shan had been entrusted to the services of a nanny, but yes, not necessarily the nanny took care of Shan sincerely. Especially after seeing Shan change like this.
"Shan here, don't go back to the apartment. Temenin uti here continue yes dear." said Dewi.
"But, but, but the word papa must return to the apartment ti." said Shan who was chewing breakfast made by Dewi. Shan's favorite egg breakfast is still very warm. Made with love and affection by his grandmother.
"Shan doesn't pity the same uti. The Shan period would be ninggalin uti?"
"That's not it..."
The Goddess increasingly put a face in front of Shan. Makes Shan very unbearable.
"Shan not not not pity the same uti, but papa's new apartment also pity later ti. Poor no one has taken. Where just paid again papa."
The goddess immediately frowned. How Shan can be that smart looking for an excuse. Ahh must be Chandra who taught him.
Shan moved his little fingers, hinting to get his head closer and put his ears on. "Shan tell ya ti, papa is very affectionate with his new apartment. Papa seems to be able to cry if the apartment is abandoned. Shhtt but don't tell papa about this. This is our secret. Shhh."
Shan's whisper managed to make the Goddess' stomach feel amused. The middle-aged woman who from yesterday is now finally able to smile back. This is all thanks to Shan.
"Thank you Shan.." Inner Goddess in heart.

Chandra's POV
..."Shan what do you want to bring? Cepetan!" my orders to Shan. ...
The boy rushed into the room and searched for objects he said he wanted to bring to the apartment. All his toys totaling 2 baskets he asked to be transported. Not to mention the clothes that are still 5 layers are covered. Well Shan, my car will explode if it explodes how?
"That's Shan's stuff."
"That's it, a lot of this tuh taukk." I scolded while lifting everything to the car.
Arriving in the front yard there were children who were playing bicycles. Who else if not Jimmy and Salsa.
Duhh Shan don't see, then he wants how?
"Papa, papa teddy I missed!"
Yah... The boy followed me out.
Shan instantly fell silent looking at the children. He looked up to gawk and almost drooled. Yes, I know I'm sorry, Shan wants to go with them. But how else, those kids are bad. They hurt Shan once, right?
"Shan, let's go to Dalem. Pamitan uti used to keep us coming home." I grabbed Shan's hand and led him into the house and to see Mama.
After saying goodbye, Shan and I immediately entered the car. I started my car engine and then prepared to drive to the apartment. Again Shan's gaze could not be separated from the two children who cycled cheerfully earlier. Even until my car sauntered out the fence, Shan was still trying to see them.
Until I finally made a sound. "Shan wants a bike too?"
Well, my intentions are not like that. I just want to ask.
"Well did you see Salsa's bike? The pink color is pa."
"Yes, why?"
"Shan wants that kayak. But not the same, later Salsa brother angry that Shan nyamain equally mine."
"Yes yes..."
"Papa really? Papa really what the hell? Papa why only yes-yes yes. Papa really wants to buy Shan's bike, right?"
"Yes Shan yes. Later if papa already have money papa buyin deh. Ten." Ten."
"Ten? So many pa!"
"Let's be smirked."
Shan immediately celebrated by calling out the word yes! He was so happy to hear it. I was just kidding.
Oh Shan... Why are you so innocent?
...***...
Arriving at the hallway of the apartment how surprised I and Shan found the figure of Joly who was standing there. I've cut my own chest. I swear yes, it feels like almost having a heart attack seeing Joly suddenly like that. Where it looks like a ghost again, long hair, using a white dress dangling also the person.
Damn it Joly.
"Where is Shan the same? I waited a long time here" he said.
I took our luggage down for a bit, then reached for the key card from the bag.
"You didn't read w.a from me what? I told you my dad died yesterday."
"Huhh?? Oh yeah??? Innalillahi wainnailaihi. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Duh masnya must still be very mourning. Duhh here I hug."
"Ish you're nothing at all?!" I immediately shook off Joly's hand that was about to hug me.
The apartment door was now open and I went inside with Shan and Joly of course. Yes, the Joly one I didn't let in. Poor thing, he has arrived here, even though I have given him through whatsapp if today he is off. But what turned out, he came here.
"Teach my son to read." tell Joly.
Joly suddenly stuck in place. I don't know why he is. "Ta—but Shan seems to be tired of traveling long distances mas."
"Shan's not tired, brother Jol. Let's teach Shan to read yuk. This is Shan already brought his book from home" said Shan while carrying a reading guide in his hand.
Okay Shan, good.
"Shan, papa stay first. Papa's going to sleep, tired."
Shan nodded as well. I then rushed to my room, enjoying the day of my permission to work now by sleeping.
Eitss no. I'm not actually going to sleep, but I'm going to talk to Wanda. Haha.... I miss that woman so much.
