Second-Chance Genius Child

AGKK Chapter 18 - Promise

I decided to go back to Alena's room. Trying not to think or imagine anything about Mas Haris and Namira. Let them both with his life and me with my own.

Almost a month with Haris messed up my mind, every second I tried to get back to being the old Anin. Who never thumped her heart other than seeing Alena's smile.

Lying next to Alena, I closed my eyes. Sleep well. When I woke up the time was already showing at 3pm. I slept for 1 hour.

"Darling," I called Alena, and I woke up my little angel. Alena squirmed and immediately opened her eyes.

"Ma," called Alena, then hugged me too. I returned the hug so gently.

"It's his sleep, it's late afternoon. Let's get up" take me.

"Yes Ma. Where's papa?"

"Papa's going to take Namira's mom home, papa's coming here tonight."

Alena fell silent, making me worry about myself. "Alena why?" I asked, trying to extract information from this little girl, so I know what makes Alena moody.

"It's okay Ma," Alena replied, then hugged me tighter.

"May my mom ask you something?" I asked, so I wanted to talk to Alena a lot.

"What Ma? I'll answer it."

"What about Namira's mother? He's good, right?"

"Yes, Namira's mom is very nice, I like her."

"Alhamdulillah then, my mother is very happy."

"I'm also happy if you're happy, because I'm doing this for you."

"What does Alena mean?" ask me with my forehead starting to wrinkle. Alena finally told me about her heart.

"For so long Mama has never asked me anything, my only request is to ask me to call Aunt Namira Mama. So I did this for Mama. Although my mother is only one, Anin's mother and there will never be another."

O Allah. After knowing everything, I'm getting even worse. Alena's reply hinted that she wasn't ready for all this, many new people were suddenly present in her life.

And now all of a sudden there's a new Mama anyway, maybe she's afraid I'm leaving.

I hugged Alena as if I would never part. "I'm sorry dear Mama, but believe me Namira mama will also be your best mama. Mama Namira will love Alena very much too" I said.

"Yes Ma" replied Alena understandingly.

"But mama has to promise me one thing, never to leave Alena for good" Alena said.

"Of course, my mom would never leave Alena. Mama will always be with Alena, now and forever."

"Promise," said Alena, she extended her little finger at me. I received the finger so that our little fingers became linked to each other.

"What are you guys doing?" asked Haris who suddenly entered the room, it turns out he has returned here. I thought Haris would come back at night.

"Papa" said Alena, she was immediately happy to see her papa coming. Moreover, I said that Haris might come back at night, and like a surprise now suddenly his papa came.

So Alena is this happy.

"What did Alena and Mama do? it looked suspicious," said Mas Haris, his eyes narrowed in Alena's direction. It makes my little girl laugh.

I decided to get up and sit on that bed. Me and Alena sat in the middle of the bed, while Haris sat on the edge.

"Mom and I just made an appointment" explained Alena.

"What promise?" ask me Haris.

But Alena seemed to have a mission of her own, she did not care about my words and instead explained in detail.

"Mama promised me that you'd never leave me forever, can you promise me that?" ask Alena.

I suddenly fell silent, swallowing my own spit with great difficulty.

"Of course, Papa will never leave Alena" replied Mas Haris without the slightest hesitation.

"What promise will never leave me and my mom?" ask Alena again.

And this time Mas Haris gave a pause to answer the question, before he finally answered ... "Yes, my dear, papa promised. Papa will never leave you two, Alena and mama."

"Yee!! Papa promised me! Watch out if it's a lie, I'll be very angry" Alena replied. Alena even hugged her papa tightly.

"Here Ma, let's hug papa together," Alena asked.

I was stunned, only able to look into both eyes mas Haris with a gamang. I saw Haris extending his hand to me. Asking me to hold it.

Alena looked at me with a hopeful look.

I'm sorry Namira. My inner self, even if this is all for Alena's sake, we shouldn't be like this. But what can I do? Even backing down is hard for me to do.

In the end I moved my right hand and landed in the warm hands of Mas Haris. He held my hand tightly.

Alena immediately kissed his papa cheek upon seeing this sight. She's so happy. His sadness over mama Namira seemed to just disappear.

Because he was sure that even though there was mama Namira he would never lose us both. Because Alena has tied us to a promise.

"Let's take a photo together?" bring me Haris. I was surprised, I just woke up but suddenly he asked for a photo together.

"Yes! Comeing! I will," said Alena with enthusiasm.

"Wear your phone?" ask Haris to me. Makes me smile clumsily.

"Sorry, my phone can't take photos" I replied.

"can't? Whatchu mean?"

"Because mom's phone doesn't have Papa's camera." Alena replied, I saw Haris frowning as if confused. Maybe he wondered what cell phone there was no camera.

"Where's your phone?" ask Haris anyway, then I take my phone that I just put on the nightstand. This movement of mine made my hand and Mas Haris' grasp so detached.

"Astaghfirullah, so this is your phone. I think it's an AC remote" said Mas Haris and Alena instead laughing.

"Later I'll ask Jodi to buy you a new phone."

"No need to."

"What doesn't need? When Alena can go home later we will often make a video call."

I'm speechless.

"Then we take photos with papa's phone," said Mas Haris later.

"Yes!!" sahut Alena is always enthusiastic.

Really, I'm really embarrassed. I don't even know how my face looks right now.

Alena came down from the lap of the father, she sat down again beside me. Mas Haris then climbed into the bed and finally the three of us took photos there. The photo shows that we are a happy family.
