Stay Beside You's

Mommy Pura - Temple part 1

"Beautiful Doctor, is that a picture of the late husband, Beautiful Doctor?" Nio looked towards the nightstand that was near their dining table.

"Yes, his name is Om Dimas. He's a very brave guard and doesn't fear anything as long as he feels right."

"He's very handsome. Is he in heaven now? If my mommy goes to heaven because she's sick and can't come back, if my mommy gets sick and I don't want to see my mommy sick."

"Darling, though my mommy rarely paid attention to me. Mommy is always busy with her activities and often gets angry with me if I ask to put on my sleeping pajamas, but Doctor Beautiful don't tell Daddy and my great-grandfather, later in heaven my mommy knows. Daddy said, Mommy's not here, but Mommy can see me." Nio stuffed a spoonful of soup into his mouth.

Denna rubbed slowly on Nio's head. Denna once again could not believe what Nio had been feeling. She loved her mommy very much, but her mommy didn't seem to pay much attention to her. However, this boy hid it from his great-grandfather and daddy.

"Nio, whatever mommy Nio has done to Nio. Nio yan smart must not hate or be angry at mommy Nio. Nio gets it, right?"

Nio nodded a few times. "Say teacher, we should love both parents."

"Smart kid. Now finish your meal first and then Nio can watch television."

Nio watches the television in the living room enjoying milk pudding for him and Denna.

Denna as usual cleaned the kitchen and her house. Denna likes cleanliness.

"It's all done. I'll meet Nio in the living room first." Denna walked towards the living room with another plate of milk pudding for Nio.

"Nio, do you want another pu-." Denna did not continue her words because she saw Nio who had apparently slept on the long sofa there.

"Pity, he must be tired today. He's a very active boy."

Denna put down her plate and held Nio carrying her into her room.

Denna enveloped Nio and did not forget to kiss Nio's forehead.

Denna walked out and she instead sat down to relax on the long sofa while enjoying the cold milk pudding.

"This is, right, Nio's paper, he must have forgotten to put it in his bag." Denna read the contents of the paper that Nio said she was the story she brought.

Denna immediately shed tears after she finished reading Nio's story. Denna even clutched the paper tightly.

"He's a strong boy, but his heart isn't really okay. Nio, how come you're this smart?"

Not long before Denna heard the doorbell of her house, and she immediately went to open the door.

"Good day, Denna," said the old man who was none other than Rayhan's grandfather.

"Piang, Cake. Please come in then."

"Sorry, Denna, grandfather is here because to pick Nio home. He must have been troubling you all day here."

"Grandfather come in first because Nio just went to bed. He I put to bed in my room."

"Nio sleeping?"

Rayhan's grandfather spoke as he walked into Denna's house. They sat facing each other in the living room.

"But at home, Nio never naps. If told to take a nap, he's playing in his room when people go downstairs, but here he's taking a nap."

Denna smiling. "Nio just needs more attention, Cake. Did Nio ever tell you that he felt lonely at home? Ever tell a story about being teased by a friend at school?"

Grandpa Rayhan was silent for a moment. Then, the man shook his head.

"From Tiara's departure, Dane has been busy in his office more often, and I've been out of town a lot, too, but since Dane started getting sick I've become aware of everything. Dane feels guilty for Nio. Dane actually loves Nio very much, only he still can't accept losing his wife in an accident."

Denna remembered her true self also being broken in her heart since the departure of Dimas.

"I can see how Dane felt at the time."

"If it's about having a fight with his friend at school, why didn't Nio tell me? And his teacher didn't say anything either."

"He was insulted by his friend for not having a mommy. Nio who was upset because he was often insulted finally hit one of his friends, but then he was mobbed by several other friends. Maybe it was settled peacefully by his teacher and it is not necessary for both parents to know, what else is the business of a young child."

"Oh God!"

Denna's hand rubbed slowly Rayhan's grandfather's hand. "Grandfather don't worry. I see Nio as a strong boy and he can solve his problems even though he's a kid, but I still say, he really needs his family's attention."

"Thank you, Denna. If you don't tell me all this, I'll never know."

"Together, Cake. Oh yeah, Cake, does Dane have a gun like a gun?" ask Denna curious.

Rayhan's grandfather who heard Denna's question was rather surprised. "Dane's got a gun, but it's just to keep himself. Why Denna? And how do you know?"

"Nio said he'd seen his daddy point a gun at someone. Kek, can't it be done without Nio's knowledge? I don't want to know why Dane did it, but it's best not in front of a kid as small as Nio." Denna's face was a bit annoyed as she explained that."

"I'm sorry, I'll tell Dane later. Dane may be home next month. Nio must have been very happy to see who would come to see him."

"Thank God then. Cake, can Nio stay here first. Ask Grandpa's driver to drop off Nio's school uniform. I'm taking Nio to school before I go to the hospital."

Rayhan's grandfather glared at what Denna said. "You want to take Nio to school? Is this Nio's request?"

Denna shook her head slowly. "It wasn't Nio who asked for it, but I myself wanted to take Nio to school because I wanted to be a pretend mommy for Nio so that she would no longer be insulted by her friends at school, Kek."

"What's? Mommy pretended?"

Denna smiling. "I just want to help Nio, maybe that's all I can do because I won't be able to be Nio's real mommy."

"Why, Dena? My granddaughter Dane is a good guy and she'll definitely like you, and vice versa."

"Sorry, Cake. Nio was also hoping that I could be his mommy, but I already explained that it was impossible. To me, my love is only for Dimas."
