Because Alex did not understand so he just nodded his head and no longer talk as much as usual. She is still four years old but cannot express her feelings to others because unbeknownst to Dante if Tatiana often threatens and scolds even punishes Alex without reason causing the child to have fear and not able to express his feelings. For Dante who does not know, he only considers the attitude of his son during this time just because of shame and does not know to communicate with others.
‘This kid almost makes me anxious, just about nothing! There's no way my wife could have acted that way with Bella. Obviously my wife was worried about Bella.’ she muttered inwardly dismissing all negative thoughts because she thought Alex was speaking wrong.
“Daddy, I want one!” alex said when Dante had his plate.
“Alex want to help daddy put food on the table huh?”
“Mau daddy!” replied Alex who had already held a plate of food from Dante.
“Come walk slowly only!” Dante and Alex have always shared chores in the kitchen, so it's no wonder he asked his son to help him this time. Footsteps are heard entering the dining room, seen Tatiana who put a smile on her face staring at the two people.
“You wake up once in the morning!” tatiana saw Alex holding a plate and Dante walking into the dining room.
“Good morning Tatiana! We have prepared breakfast for you!”
“One two three four! Eat it with Bella!” alex counts the plates happily.
“Well so you made four Dante dishes? You also made it for Bella?” Tatiana watched Alex as her eyes glanced at the one plate that was still on the table. She did not like this, why did her husband even make breakfast for the woman? Envy and jealousy filled his heart again.
“Iya I did make one for her so she could eat with Alex. I want our child to get along quickly with him.”, Dante explained.
“Akrabic? Ah...you're so good Dante! All right let's take it there let me open the door.” said Tatiana was excited to make Dante happy and nodded his head and walked out when the door was held Tatiana.
But….
A PRAANNNGGGG!!!
“Ha? Alex, are you okay? Looks like the plates are too heavy for you, huh? Are you okay Alex? Are you hurt? Oh.no. Here mommy first look.”
“Is Alex okay Tatiana? Alex is okay, right?” Dante immediately put the two plates he was holding onto the table and immediately approached Alex with a panicked face.
“He's fine Dante. His hand was not hurt at all, I was worried about it. Maybe Alex has trouble carrying his plate.” Tatiana replied because Dante was walking in front of him and Alex behind him.
“Ah forgive me yes Alex! Thank goodness you weren't hurt.”
“My food is up!” alex said sadly.
“There's still one more plate there, let's help get it.” Dante holds Alex and takes the remaining plate and takes him to the dinner table.
“One two three!” back Alex counting the plates.
“You eat first!” said Dante.
“You didn't eat Dante, why?” tatiana asked worriedly while gnashing her forehead when she saw the plate placed by Dante was actually placed next to Alex.
“I'll eat later, baby!” answer Dante.
“Do you want to give that food to the waiter?”
‘Hmmm Tatiana nodded.
“So she can eat with Alex.” replied Dante again.
“Dante, he hasn't come here yet, I'm sure he's still exhausted after all there's plenty of food in the kitchen. Why don't we just eat three? We haven't eaten together in a few days at the dinner table, have we?” persuade Tatiana with a pinched face.
‘Hem...truly as Tatiana said, lest she sleep again! That kid is a slacker anyway!’ muttered Dante in his heart.
“Alright then the three of us eat together. Let Bella eat later.” said Dante.
“Well this is true. It's so nice when we eat three, I love to eat with you two, my favorite man!” Tatiana smiled as she clapped her hands. In his heart he cheered with excitement because his plan worked.
“I'm sorry because I rarely eat with you guys.” said Dante even though he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He had promised Bella that he would make her food but she could not keep it because the food had accidentally spilled.
‘Oh Bella! I told you to get ready because you're going to eat with us but you're still in the room! And that one plate why did it fall? I shouldn't have let Alex carry anything back then, let me take him myself! Ahhh hopefully Bella is not angry because she really wants my cooking.’ whispered her heart. Dante began to bribe his food with an uneasy heart and felt unable to enjoy the food because there was no Bella there.
‘You really like my cooking, isn't this your favorite food? You've loved this food a long time and you're always happy when you eat it. You always smile and your eyes sparkle every time I make you this meal,’ Dante's heart feels very sick, making him not eager to eat, Dante said, the taste of the food was bland and Dante ate with a hollow heart and really did not enjoy the food.
Her heart and mind were filled with Bella. About the plate that fell was still filling his mind, this is not the first time Alex helped him bring the plate and only this time he dropped the plate. He feels a little strange.
“Dante, I love it you cook this, Alex eats so voraciously. She loves this food!” tatiana looked at Alex who was eating voraciously.
“Ya is indeed her favorite food!” dante replied. ‘And Bella's favorite too.’ whispered her heart.
“Thanks for this beautiful morning dear. I'm so glad you took the time for me and Alex.” Tatiana said stroking Dante's hand.
“Hopefully I can do this more often to you guys.” Dante stroked Tatiana's hand back, his shady eyes making Dante's smile look perfect.
“Are you going back to Indonesia?”
“Yes I have to go back to Indonesia but I don't know when. I might be back in a day or two, I don't know! I'm still waiting for news from there and making sure you guys are safe before I go.”
“I understand...” Tatiana was silent for a moment and then bribed her food again. “Oh this is so good Dante, try to open your mouth, dear.”
“Thanks darling!” said Dante smiling. ‘Why today Tatiana was so excited about eating it, usually he is lazy to eat if I cook this not because he does not like it but he prefers breakfast with salad or just toast and jam alone! Does he just want to please my heart? Why am I the one who is not excited? Where are you my dear Bella, why did you take so long to prepare?’ said Dante's heart again despite being upset but he still finished his food.
Alex had finished his food first and Tatiana also wanted to eat the food. “You're done Alex? Let me take you to the room first.” Dante already wiped his lips directly greeting his son.
“Daddy, didn't you make food for Bella? She hasn't eaten.” innocently Alexx asked.
“Alex, why are you talking like that?” Tatiana instantly cut off her son's speech while looking at him sharply after glancing at Dante who didn't see him.
‘This child yes! Since when did he start to pay attention to sam people? Is it because yesterday we introduced Bella as her friend so that's why I asked Dante to make food for Bella huh? Arrggg! Just watch out for you later if your daddy isn't around!’ muttered Tatiana in his heart who was annoyed with the little boy.
“I think it's okay if I don't make it for her dear Alex. Bella can eat other foods in the kitchen, there are also many foods.” Dante explained to his son.
