SPECIAL ACTOR

CHAPTERS 119. I'M AFRAID OF THE DARK

Meanwhile, Dante who brought Alex into his room immediately opened the door and walked to the bed. “Do you still want to stick to me like koala Alex?” dante asked because he saw Alex holding him tightly and sticking his head on Dante's shoulder.

“I'm sleepy daddy. I want to bob!” answer Alex briefly.

“Yes I know but you haven't eaten Alex! Don't you want to eat?” ask Dante again.

Alex just shook his head. “I don't want.”

“Why, darling?”

“No likes!” alex answered briefly solid and clear.

“You only want to eat my food?”

Alex looked up at Dante and nodded his head in response.

“What do you eat when I'm not home?” tany Dante but Alex won't answer just staring at Dante. He wanted to say but was afraid to say it because he remembered Tatiana's threat.

“Alex! I'm asking you, I want to hear your answer.” Dante asked while sitting Alex in bed.

“I don't eat!”

“You won't eat if I'm not around, so you mean Alex?” ask Dante while stroking his favorite son's hair.

“I don't want to! I'm waiting for daddy to come home!” obviously using a vocabulary that can be spoken.

“If I go a long time, how?”

“Do I have to eat?” ask Alex back.

“Iya. If I'm traveling a long time, you should eat. I don't want you to get sick when I get home.”

“But I don't want to!” Alex shook his head even tighter, making Dante dizzy.

“What's wrong with you? You were okay this morning, I saw you smiling but why are you so depressed now?” Dante scrunched his forehead at Alex, trying to give Alex comfort by stroking her hair gently.

“I'm afraid of dark daddy!” honest answer. Whenever Dante travels, Tatiana keeps Alex locked up in a dark room and doesn't feed him with the same threat Tatiana always uses. But Alex is afraid to tell her father and doesn't know how to express herself.

“Iya I know you're afraid of the dark. Sorry mommy yes. Because mommy doesn't know the lights are off if mommy knows she won't leave you in the darkroom.” Dante paused for a moment and looked back at his son.

“Do you want to forgive mommy?” Dante tries to persuade Alex. But the boy was still silent, he just looked at Dante and nodded his head. Actually he really wanted to talk to others but Alex didn't know how to tell the real Dante so he just nodded his head.

“Yes, don't be sad anymore. No one else will turn off your lights, ok?”

Alex nodded his head still with a sad expression.

“One more thing you should remember Alex! No woman loves you more than mommy, she is so happy to see you in this world. He hugs you with an unrelenting cry, he appreciates your presence in this world. Every night he waits for you, takes care of you and doesn't forget to give you a drink when you're thirsty. Mommy wasn't used to taking care of anyone before, she made milk for you, she stopped your crying with her warm embrace. She's sleep-deprived even the nights she has to change your diaper. She fought hard to raise you

Alex only answered with a nod of his head because he did not understand the difficult words his father said but he understood that Dante wanted him to be nice to Tatiana.

“I like to nod your head Alex!” Dante smile. “Have mommy returned your toys?”

Alex replied by shaking his head not many words he said, he looked like a child who could not speak only able to nod and shake his head.

“Alex, you have to be a good boy first! If you're a good boy, your toys will be returned. Didn't mommy also return your toys?”

Alex nodded his head again because Tatiana had taken her toys several times and when Alex had started working with her, Tatiana returned her toys. Tatiana always played pretty, she always told Dante everything first so there was no misunderstanding between Tatiana and Dante.

That's why Dante strongly believes all Tatiana's words, plus Alexh also has not mastered a lot of vocabulary and does not know how to defend himself. He prefers to obey and nudge Dante as he does now.

“Alright, I won't give you any more questions Alex. Do you not want to eat now and choose to sleep?”

“Bella?” spontaneous speech came out of Alex's lips.

“You want to be with Bella?” ask Dante to repeat.

The boy nodded his head with a smile on his face.

“Did Bella say anything bad about mommy to you?” ask Dante’Is he trying to influence my son's mind? Like he was trying to influence me? Oh no! I don't want anything bad in Alex's mind about Tatiana.’.

Alex did not reply because he did not understand the meaning of his father's words, he just shook his head.

“So Bella never said anything bad about mommy?”

Alex looked up at his father in confusion as he did not understand his point.

“I mean, does Bella hate mommy? Does she not like mommy?” dante asked with a sentence Alex could understand. Alex shook his head.

“Bella dear me.” replied Alex.

‘Why did this kid say that?’ he said it in his heart. “So that's what Bella said? He just said he loved you but he never talked about mommy? He never talks about daddy?”

Alex nodded his head again after understanding his father's question. Bella has never interfered with Dante and his wife, he only played with Alex and he was really sincere about Alex.

‘My son cannot lie! That means he didn't vilify my wife in front of my son. Good then. I was thinking about this so I was really angry with him. But it looks like Alex really wants to play with Bella.’

‘What should I do?’ Dante racked his brain looking for a way out. “You want to Bella's room?” ask Dante. But Alex shook his head instead but his eyes remained fixed on the connecting door to Bella's room, his eyes focused on the door without blinking.

“Do you want Bella to come to this room?” ask Dante again. Alex nodded his head.

“Then you call him. Take her to your room.” said Dante. ‘You are very interested in him.’ whispered Dante who noticed the eyes of his son who remained focused on the door of Bella's room.

“Do you want to open that door and call Bella?” asked Dante again because he saw his son was just silent and he also knew that his son was not good at expressing his heart directly. Alex always needs a trigger to be able to express his heart.
