Papa To Kirana

Chapter 15 Shopping Together

For almost a whole month, I found Alexa who never misses a visit to my house every afternoon. Even if it's just stopping by or just borrowing tools. He always greeted Kirana if she accidentally met face to face in the yard.

In addition, Cindy also more often visited the restaurant at lunchtime. Until all the waitresses got to know Cindy and her favorite menu. He always linger in the restaurant. Whether intentionally or not.

Once I was with Kirana having to sit forty-five minutes in the car, just because Cindy never came home.

Hiding Kirana is exhausting. I don't know when I'm gonna have to be like this.

After making sure Cindy had left the restaurant, I got out of the car. Asking Hilda, the waiter I saw had a chat with Cindy.

Hilda replied that Cindy asked me when I usually come to the restaurant.

I was wondering. Is there anything Cindy wants to talk about? But why not just over the phone?

Today I plan to go to the supermarket to buy Kirana's needs that have begun to run out.

Just as I was about to take Kirana to get into the car, Kirana was not in the living room. Before I went into the room, Kirana was playing alone there.

Then I found Kirana with Rama already in the yard talking to Alexa. Breathe freely. I think Kirana's missing.

I approached Rama and protested to him for taking Kirana without my knowledge.

“Hah? Whahuh? Kirana's people were crying. Cook yes I have to ask permission first to Kak Balin.” Rama sniffed hard. “Unfortunately people want to get married must ask permission, ask for rest, ask for... Auwhh.”

Rama stroked the head of the place where I had been pinning it. Alexa who saw the incident was surprised and closed her mouth wanting to laugh. Then the girl turned her eyes towards me.

“You want to go?”

“Not your business.”

“Kak Balin, so that person who is friendly a little why? Later difficult to find a new soul mate know taste.”

I pinched Rama's arm and he complained of pain. Rama's bad habit number two is the one I don't like the most.

Number one, he always makes my plans fall apart. Number two, he always slid in without a second thought.

I'm afraid he's let go of talking that I'm not actually married. While there are three people who think I have a wife and children, namely, Alexa, Cindy and Frans.

“Go to the house! Don't go wandering as long as I shop for Kirana.” needs

“Ready, Commander.” Rama said with a slightly upset tone. However, he just obeyed what I ordered. Getting inside the house left me and Alexa.

“So you want to shop? I'm coming with ya?”

“Can't...” My speech was interrupted because Alexa had already jumped and sat in the front seat of the car.

I opened the door. “I won't allow you to come. Now, get out of my car!”

I shifted one step so there was a way for Alexa to get out of my car. However, the girl ignored my orders and instead put on a seatbelt.

“I also have a need to buy. So can I come with you? In return, I will take Kirana.” Alexa's hands are stretched forward. Ready to receive Kirana.

“Kirana I'll put it in car seat.” Answer's short. Slam the car door and put Kirana in the baby seat attached behind Alexa.

But today Kirana does not want to be placed in the baby chair. I don't know what, he whined. All I did was get Kirana to be in the baby seat, but it ended up nil. Even Kirana's whining broke into a cry.

Alexa turns her head to look back. “Already. Maybe Kirana really wants to be with me.”

The baby stopped crying and immediately laughed as Alexa invited him to play. Alexa also let Kirana sit on her lap and slowly took off both hands.

“Kirana can already sit alone huh? Wow great Kirana.”

I just realized that too. Kirana can already be in the stand without having to be held. I smiled at a smile Alexa didn't see.

“Be careful, hold Kirana well.”

Then, I closed the car door slowly, walked around the car and sat in the driver's seat. Start the engine, then the car goes at moderate speed.

During the trip, I saw with the corner of my eye, Kirana who laughed loosely playing peekbah with Alexa.

Then Kirana leaned her head against Alexa's chest which was greeted with a warm embrace from the girl. While I focused again on the crowded and jammed streets.

“How many months is Kirana's age now?”

I thought for a moment. Trying to remember Kirana's birthday. “Five months more. Next week exactly he's six months old.”

Alexa developed a smile as she turned her face towards Kirana. Alexa's lentic fingers gently stroked Kirana's hair.

Alexa talks to Kirana, “Means soon Kirana can be given a companion food. Kirana must have been impatient to taste the various flavors of food huh?”

As if jolted, it didn't occur to me that Kirana would have to be fed another week. Ah, what kind of father am I. I admit I don't know a lot of things in the baby world.

“Where do you often consult a doctor? Kirana routine immunization on schedule right? ”

“Can't you stop asking? I'm focusing on driving,” I said in a voice raised by an octave.

Alexa was silent for a moment, choosing to turn her face to look at the street through the car glass. I don't know why I feel guilty.

Though I didn't mean to shout rudely, I was just worried that someone would ask me about anything related to Kirana. However, even so, I chose to beat neutralize my feelings instead of saying an apology.

The rest of the journey turned awkward, so I stepped on the gas while on a road that did not have many vehicles. Ten minutes passed and we arrived at the supermarket parking lot.

As soon as she got out of the car, Alexa handed Kirana to me. His face looks ordinary. As if nothing had happened, he even had a small smile on me.

Then we took a shopping trolley. We were holding the same trolley. As a result our hands touched.

I glanced at Alexa who also did the same. We looked at each other for a few minutes without saying a single word. Then Alexa raised her eyebrows, and I quickly let go of my hand.

Alexa takes her trolley and walks first. I followed him from behind, but we parted ways because I turned the trolley towards the diapers rack.

After that, I remembered what Alexa said earlier in the car that Kirana soon had to be given a companion food.

So I moved to a shelf displaying various instant baby food products. I was confused by the many choices.

I haven't consulted a pediatrician. What kind of food is right for a baby who is just learning to eat?
