SPECIAL ACTOR

CHAPTER 85. REMEMBERING THE LITTLE GIRL

“What are you talking about? Why do you say that Tatiana? You've never been anyone's surrogate!” Dante raised his chin and looked at his wife.

“Sometimes I feel insecure being by your side, Dante.”

“Hei! Don't talk like that, don't duck. I always loved you. I don't want to hear that phrase anymore, okay?” said Dante while loosening Tatiana's face and peeling her.

“But I'm telling the truth, sometimes I don't feel confident. But thank you for encouraging me.” replied Tatiana.

“Have it, don't think about the past anymore. You are the best woman for me! You must remember that!” Dante reminded while taking Tatiana to sit in the dining chair in their room.

“Since when did you eat another banana Dante?” tatiana was surprised to see the man holding two bananas in his hand.

 

“Ah, this. I just wanted to try it again. I don't think there's anything bad about the taste and I don't want Alex to also hate certain foods because I made her hate food.”

“You care once.” said Tatiana still put a smile on her face.

“This, take one.” command Dante give one banana to his wife.

 

“Thank you.” said Tatiana was lipped but she felt numb and upset. ‘Huh, how can he want to eat bananas again? I don't think he wants to eat bananas anymore because he doesn't want to remember that kid anymore! He doesn't want bananas anymore, does he? Since his departure, Dante has always avoided bananas but why did he suddenly take them?” tatiana's heart felt uneasy remembering the past.

FLASHBACKS

(Twenty-one years ago)

“Dante why are you holding two bananas in both hands? Just like my sister.” asked Tatiana to Dante who was fourteen years old at the time

“Your sister is so funny! I like the way he eats bananas. He always holds two in his right hand and his left hand. After biting the one on the right and then biting the one on the left! I followed his way of eating.” replied Dante.

“Do you like the way you eat?” tatiana asked while sitting next to Dante with a feeling of dislike even though she was very good at covering it up,

“Iya.” replied Dante nodding his head. “I also like to imitate him biting right and left alternately!” and then Dante saw the unclean girl. “Hei come! Sitting on my lap!”

“Now you feed me yes, you eat the right and I eat the left hand.” said Dante when the little boy was already on his lap.

Tatiana glanced at Dante while squinting her eyes disliking seeing his sister's closeness to Dante.

“So he gave me two bananas and I ate them the same way he did and he laughed looking at me.”

“So you like it so much? Or do you like the way he eats bananas?” Tatiana asked again.

“I like it! He's so funny and he looks like you. The color of her eyes blue makes her very beautiful, if you've grown up then surely I will be very beautiful and sweet, muaaahhh Dante kissed Tatiana's sister and glanced at her. “Luckily he was a child, try if he was as big as you I must be confused which one I would choose, you or him ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..” chattering Dante tease Tatiana. Although Dante was only joking but Tatiana took it seriously and put her heart into it.

“Tatiana, what are you thinking?”

“I? Ah no.” Tatiana shook her head answering somewhat in doubt. ‘Why did I even think of that? Ah that fucking kid! Tatiana muttered trying to forget all her childhood memories.

“So I talked to you but you just kept quiet. You just pay attention to that banana. Don't you want to eat it?” ask Dante.

“Ha ha..you are so funny Dante. I used to offer you bananas, but you never wanted to. Now open your mouth and eat.” Tatiana smiled as if nothing had happened.

Dante peeled a banana in his hand and tried to eat it. ‘This is all because of you Belinda! If you don't take this banana, I won't eat a fruit that just reminds me of your little girl. He has gone...hu, all this is my fault.’ he murmured annoyed. ‘If I don't eat it then my wife must be suspicious. Yes, I have eaten.’ by resignedly Dante insert banana kulutnya.

‘Why does it feel so painful when eating this?’ lamented Dante again who remembers his past which is the reason he does not like bananas. ‘Fuh! I've forgotten the taste of this fruit for years but now I feel it again. Not bad! Maybe the past should be forgotten.’ murmured again, he went back to eating bananas.

‘Although it hurts my heart a little but I will get used to it, it has all been decades and all humans will surely die. I have to learn to move on and it's better than continuing to dissolve in the memories of the past!’

“Oh Dante I did not expect you would eat this fruit again.” exclaimed Tatiana happy but actually in her heart is not.

“Look at me already spent it.” said Dante showing the banana peel left in his hand.

Tatiana smiled at Dante and finished her meal. Tatiana deliberately no longer discussed the food eaten by Dante.

“Are you tired, baby?” dante asked after they finished eating and asked Tatiana to watch a movie for a moment.

“Tired? I want to sleep.” replied Tatiana.

“Come I'll accompany you.”

“Do you sleep here tonight?” ask Tatiana again.

“No. Maybe I'll sleep in Alex's room to make sure he's not alone.” replied Dante.

“Not necessary. Let me sleep there so you can rest!”

Dante shook his head in disapproval. “You rest in your room and I'll go to Alex.”'s room

“How about we both sleep there?” ask Tatiana who was worried. How could she let her husband sleep in Alex's room next to Bella's.

Dante just answered with a headband while smiling. “Already, darling. No need to argue about that. I want you to enjoy a relaxed life and not wake up too often at night because of Alex.”

“I understand.” Tatiana said then fell asleep before Dante finally woke up after accompanying his wife to sleep for about three hours.

“After morning.” said dante when glancing at the clock on the wall that has shown at four in the morning. ‘I haven't checked Alex. Was she crying? I also had to tell Bella something before I went to look for Barack and Sarah.’ and Dante got up, pulled himself slowly away from Tatiana and walked out of his room to Alex's room.

As she opened the door to Alex's room, she saw an interesting sight. ‘They slept together? Ah...why does my heart feel so happy to see the two of them hugging each other?’ Dante smiled happily at the sight of two sleeping people hugging each other on Alex's bed.
