Second-Chance Genius Child

AGKK Chapter 26 - Cannot Be Greedy

At 5 pm Haris came home, immediately hugged Alena tightly and held her.

"Papa kangen," said Mas Haris, even the man who was so spoiled with his daughter. Alena chuckles to see her heart-wrenching papa holding back longs, when only 8 hours they did not meet. Every hour they exchange news through me. Every time Haris asks Alena, I tell her directly to my son.

Seeing the intimacy I decided to pull over, get away from the two because Namira called.

"Assalamualaikum, Nami," I replied after being in the kitchen. Alena and Mas Haris are still in the living room, not sure what the two are doing there.

"Waalaikumsalam Ma'am, mas Haris has arrived at the apartment?" ask Namira.

"Yes, just arrived. She's with Alena now."

"Sir, I want to ask you about Alena. Every night while sleeping does he sweat a lot?" tanyanya.

"It used to be, but it's not Nami anymore. After the operation, things really improved."

"The eating pattern is as recommended by Dr. Anton, right?"

"Yes, I don't dare to give him any food either. If anyone doubts, I'll just ask Anton."

You talked long enough about Alena's health. At first I thought Namira would question about Mas Haris, but it wasn't. All of our talks were dominated by Alena.

Namira also said that now she and Anton's doctor are working together to deal with Alena, which is why Namira will take an important part in the care of the little girl.

I'm so grateful about this, I can really feel Namira's sincerity. Not only as a doctor but also as a mother-to-be.

"Mommy, can I ask you something?" ask me after we finish our talk about Alena.

"Ask what Mama? no need to be this way."

"Now Alena's situation has improved, when did you and Haris go back to planning a wedding?" tanyaku. Really, when I questioned about this my heart immediately thumped.

But I also don't want us all to stay too long in an ambiguous relationship. Sometimes I always feel like Haris always gives me too much attention.

I don't want to fall more and more on that man, which is why, to stop this all Namira and mas Haris have to get married. Besides, now that Alena's situation has improved, there should be nothing to stand in the way of their happiness.

"Mas Haris hasn't talked to me about this yet Ma'am, if I do he wants to" replied Namira, his voice sounding less enthusiastic.

"Bak's sorry Nami, mbak and Alena came at a bad time for you guys."

"It's okay Ma'am, I'm also grateful that Anin immediately met Mas Haris. Because if it's delayed again we won't know what kind of fate Alena will experience."

I wanted to cry to hear Namira's words. "Is it okay if I question about this to Mas Haris? I'll ask you when you're planning that wedding again."

"Mr Anin is willing to question it? Thank you Ma'am, let me Haris know also if I always wait," replied Nami, I heard her laugh.

It makes me smile too.

"Ma, I want to take a shower first" said Mas Haris who came to the kitchen with Alena, they walked with their hands together.

"Yes, I'll take care of Alena" I replied.

"Who called you earlier?" asked Mas Haris again, with a more intense gaze.

"Mama Namira," I replied, I try to return her gaze when I say this name. Want to see what kind of reaction he would show.

And I saw that Haris just nodded, and left me and Alena alone.

O Allah, my mind sighed heavily. I don't know if it's just my feeling or how, but I always feel that Haris is so indifferent when we talk about Namira.

Or maybe he was just keeping my feelings? But for what? My feelings don't need to be taken care of.

O Allah. My heart and mind are now in conflict, I hope my mind will win.

Later tonight I will talk about this with Mas Haris, when will he marry Namira?

"Ma," called Alena and managed to break all my daydreams.

"Hey, baby, why?" I asked, I lifted Alena up to sit on my lap. We sat at the dining table.

"Why did mama Namira call mama?" ask Alena later.

"Mama Namira questions about Alena's state, did Alena sleep well? Did Alena eat that much? Is Alena happy?" my clear.

"Then my mom answered what?"

"Mama replied Alena slept well, ate a lot and Alena was very happy especially after meeting Papa," I replied while hugging him tightly, making Alena so laugh.

"When we go home, will papa come to live in our house Ma?" ask Alena.

I can't answer it right away, I'm still thinking about the right answer.

"It doesn't seem like a pity, Papa will be living in his own house. But Alena can visit Papa's house whenever Alena wants. Although we live in separate houses, but we will stay together," I explained, slowly as I told Alena about this. But as gently as I explained, it still made her smile fade.

"Alena baby, we have to be smart to be grateful son. There used to be no Papa and now there is Papa, so we must not be greedy and want more of this. Yea?"

I saw Alena nod, she returned my embrace as well. How Alena does not think mature, this small she must be able to understand many things.

Forgive my dear mother. Excuse me.

In the end, we hugged each other.
