Sharing Love: Second Wife

Papa

Mahen sighed, he cupped Vincent's puffed cheeks with both palms. Now his eyes and the boy meet.

"Listen to uncle, everyone has a papa. And Chen as well. Understood?"

"So .. Mama lied?"

"Ehm, maybe mom has her own reasons for lying" says Mahen.

"So, can we lie?"

"Not so is the concept, Boy!" exclaim Mahen.

The man of two children was made to think hard, like a student who was doing a national exam. He should be careful in answering all questions as it will determine the future.

"When you grow up, you know. Why sometimes we adults have to lie for a reason" Mahen explained.

"Why can't a child lie, but an adult can?" ask Vincent.

This time Mahen was fatigued by his son. He patted her on the forehead, then rubbed her face rough. His brain is dead-end not knowing what else to say for Vincent to stop asking about lies.

Finally the discussion of the lying lies ended, when one of the employees greeted Vincent.

"Hi, Chen! Long time no here!" greet a man with an emblem that reads Rico.

"Yes, Uncle. Lately my mom has been busy with her work" replied Vincent.

The man named Rico is now approaching Vincent. His lips approached the handsome boy's ears.

"Can you ask for my mom's phone number?" whisky Rico.

When Mahen's sharp ears heard Rico's words, he cleared his throat.

"Ehem! Come on, Chen we pay for the book," Mahen asked as he stared at the young man named Rico.

"Please, Sir." Rico gives way to Mahen and Vincent.

After paying for the books, Mahen immediately drove Vincent back to the front of his school. There, the figure of the King was waiting while leaning on his car.

"You're five minutes late!" said the King while glancing at the watch in his hand.

"Sorry, someone was protesting because of an adult lie" Mahen told Vincent.

But the name of the children who know the speech that is satire or not. Vincent looked at the books he had just bought. Without any sin, he got into the car.

"Hey, Boy! Wait!" exclaim Mahen.

"Ck, what's more, Uncle?" decak Vincent's.

Mahen walked over to the open windshield of the car. From there he could see Vincent folding his face.

"Will I have another walk with my uncle after school?" ask Mahen.

Hearing the word 'street' Vincent nodded quickly. The boy's eyes began to sparkle, he readied his ears to listen to Mahen's next words.

"Hide our meeting from mom. Understood?"

"So, this time Uncle told me to lie?" guess Vincent.

"Not lying, Chen. Just ra-ha-si-a-kan," Mahen said.

"So, our meeting is a secret mission like in a detective movie!" mahen.

"O .. alright!" Vincent readily agreed to the terms put forward by Mahen.

"I'll go home first, brother." The king said goodbye and then got into the car.

Mahen smiled with satisfaction because he could spend time with the son he had longed for. The man had just left after the King's car had disappeared from his sight.

Vika who was busy with her laptop was startled by a hug from Vincent's ignorant hand. His heart feels like it's going to fall.

"Gosh, Chen! You surprised my mom!" exclaim Vika.

"Hahaha, geez, Ma!" Vincent's laughter broke as Vika's fingers began to tickle her waist.

After being satisfied to give a lesson to her son, Vika closes her laptop. Vincent is now in his mother's lap.

"No, I went to the bookstore with him first" Vincent said.

"To the bookstore? What's for?" ask Vika.

"I got to memorize the storyline of the book that every day Mama read. I was bored, and wanted to listen to another story" Vincent explained.

"O .. so it is," said Vika.

The woman kissed the top of her son's head, inhaled deeply the blackcurrant scent of Vincent's shampoo. His actions stopped when Vincent looked up.

"Why?" ask Vika.

"May I ask you something, Ma?" Vincent is down.

"Come, what do you want to know?" Vika twists her son's body. Now they face each other.

"I often see friends being ushered in by adult men whom they call papa, father, and abi. They didn't call the grown man uncle, like I called Uncle King and Uncle Rico. Why is that, Ma?" ask Vincent.

DEG!

Vika's heart stopped beating. Cold sweat began to wash over his back. His lips were tightly clenched in confusion as to how to answer his son's question.

"That's .. ka-because .... "

What Vika was afraid of finally happened. He knew his lie would soon be exposed. Vincent continues to grow as time goes on. This question will be asked as well. The woman took a deep breath then exhaled violently.

"Chen, listen to me. Was mama Chen unhappy?" ask Vika.

Vincent shook his head, then looked back at his mother's face to demand an explanation.

"Can't you buy what you want?

"No. Mama always gave me everything I wanted" replied Vincent innocently.

"The father is only a complement in a family. The presence or absence of papa, the most important thing is that Chen is happy. Chen doesn't need a papa, as long as there's a mama. Understood?" said Vika.

Vincent shook his head, his son's stubbornness was indeed ingrained. Mangoes always fall not far from the tree. Currently, he is facing a mini version of Mahen.

"If I wanted papa, would you give me a papa?"

Vika's shoulders slumped. If there was a white flag beside him, he would fly it as a sign of surrender. If Vincent's stubborn attitude comes up, then no one can handle it. All speech and seduction will no longer work.

"It's not that easy, Chen. Papa it's not an item that can be bought if we want it." Now that Vika's gaze implied despair, she hoped Vincent would stop whining about papa's question.

"Then I will call Uncle King, Papa!" he exclaimed Vincent while descending from his mother's lap and then ran towards the room.

"Chen!" yell Vika.

At once Vika's head felt heavy. He dropped his body onto the back of the sofa, then massaged his temple slowly. The woman took her breath to relax a little.

"Father!" maura shouted when she found Mahen coming home early that afternoon.

The little girl rushed straight into his father's arms. His arms were clad to Mahen's neck, while his father kissed his little daughter's cheek.

Nova could only stare at the envy of his daughter and Mahen. The woman put on a pouting face and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Mahen who saw his wife's behavior, immediately approached Nova and then showered her with a kiss.

THE PLAAAAKKK!!!

A slap landed smoothly on Mahen's cheek. The man grimaced as he rubbed his cheek which felt a little hot.

"Why, Honey?"
