Stepfather Candidate

Looking for Daisy

After a few years, when Naza was 3 years old.

"Mas Daryn, I want us to separate." Alea's words surprised Daryn.

"What do you mean?" Daryn's confused.

"What a mas, not feeling. All the attention, Naza. Like I wasn't in your life. I love you so much, but this. I can't take it anymore. " Alea's crying.

Daryn tried to hug him. TapinAlea brushed off Daryn's hand.

"Alea, Naza needs us now. I'm his father and you're his mother."

Alea shook her head.

"What was the moment you decided to adopt Naza you discussed with me? What time is every decision about Naza there are you talking to me? I've known you since High School, Mas. I know, you're used to making your own decisions. But even after marriage, you are still like that. I'm waiting for you, to talk to me. But no, you are still selfish. And not thinking about my feelings."

In her heart, Daryn knew she was making a mistake. But, for him. Adopting Naza or not is not an option. All about Naza is not for discussion. He chose the best and he decided the best for Naza. At least that's what he thinks.

She still loves Alea, and Alea still loves Daryn.

But Alea is unable and unprepared to share Daryn's love for Naza. Because for Alea, Naza is still not Daryn's biological child or himself.

"Are you sure this is your decision? I asked for the last time." Daryn pulled Alea's wrist, her eyes glazed over. Alea was her first love, it was hard to let go of Alea moreover they still loved each other.

"Sorry Daryn, I can't be a mother to that child yet. Because you chose that child. Then I can't be your wife either." Alea pulled her hand and walked away.

"Mama.

Alea's footsteps stopped. But he doesn't want to turn around. She loves Naza, but can't love him yet like her real son. Everyone around him scoffed at Daryn's decision, and so did he.

Alea could not live in humiliation in the eyes of others.

He walked away, while Naza tried to run after him. Daryn held back Naza's small steps, and cried in Daryn's arms.

Naza continued to cry calling his mother. But, Alea did not turn around or flinch at all.

Although Alea left just like that, Daryn still made Alea a mother figure for Naza.

And he believed, Alea would come back if she was ready.

After hearing the story of Naza and Daryn from Nivia, Daisy feels a little guilty towards Naza.

"I shouldn't have approached her that night" Daisy said.

But, Daisy remained on her feet.

"Sorry Nivia, I don't know what to say. But Naza and I don't need to be in touch. Later, he'll forget me. Moreover, I only met him once." Daisy's done packing her things.

"See you at the college. If we had the same school hours." Daisy was about to step out.

"Daisy, are you serious about me?" Nivia's tone was a little angry.

"Are you leaving so alone, without even knowing I'm your address? See you at the college? Huh, what do you think I am, who? My roommate, did you throw that away?" continued Nivia.

"Not all this time, have we? Meet on campus and in the room. Because we're not rooming, and we'll only meet on campus."

Hearing Daisy's words, Nivia is getting upset. He grunted annoyedly.

"During all this time, only I thought you were a friend? 2 Years together, am I not worthy to be your best friend?" Nivia's getting upset.

"Ava left me. What makes you not so? you won't know what it's like to leave someone you trust and love."

"What makes you so arrogant, and discards those who care about you? Huh huh? " Nivia is closing in on Daisy.

"I'm not throwing you away, I'm just guarding my heart. I didn't say we wouldn't meet. We are just different places to live. That'sthat's all. Friends, of course we're still friends."

"By not packing your new address to me. You're trying to get away from me." Nivia is really getting upset and angry at Daisy.

"Over the years, I've always tried to keep your feelings in check. I followed your wishes about everything. What you want to eat. What do you want to do."continue nivia.

"Good, now you don't have to do that anymore. You should've told me you didn't like my way or anything else about me." Answer Daisy.

"Why do you always make my statements in the negative direction? Nevermind." Nivia is tired of arguing with Daisy. He chooses to step back and sit on the bed and let Daisy go.

And Daisy left, just like that.

Back to college he would work at a restaurant, then go back to his boarding house.

The hostel he stayed at, was very cheap. But still worth living for.

Ava tried to contact him many times. And so is Nivia. Even on campus, when Nivia was about to reprimand her, she pretended not to see or hear Nivia.

Daisy likes her solitude. Sometimes I feel lonely. He's holding himself back from calling Ava or Nivia.

While on his campus, he suddenly got a call from the rector's room through an announcement.

"Rector? What's up?" His inner.

In a hurry he walked into the rector's room.

After knocking on the door, he walked in.

He was shocked to see who was waiting for him.

"Mr Daryn? "

"I'll leave you, talk." The rector left his room.

Daisy knows Daryn is rich. But made the Rector leave his room just to talk to him.

Daryn sees Daisy feeling uncomfortable.

"He's my cousin's brother." said Daryn.

Hearing Daryn's words, Daisy wants to know why Daryn is looking for her.

"What's your master looking for me?"

"Naza is looking for you, you make him a snack. But he wants you to accompany him to eat and drink his milk."

Hearing Daryn's words, Daisy frowned and smiled.

"Master, you can find that snack anywhere. And I know, you can find out about it. And about Miss Naza who was looking for me. I'm sure he'll be fine in a few days."

"Almost a month, you told me to call Nivia if you wanted to talk to you. But, Nivia said, you guys are no longer in touch. So he told me to look for you directly. And here I am." Daryn opened both hands.

"So, what does my master want to do?"

"I'll hire you as Naza's babysitter."

Daisy smiled.

"Master, there's a reason why I didn't give Miss Naza my number. And now, sir is asking me to look after Miss Naza?" he somewhat laughed at the thought of an offer from Daryn. Daisy shakes.

"What's so funny? Is it about connecting with the rich again?"

Daisy answered him with a smile.

"No matter what, you are related to the rich or not. You will find good people and bad people. Just because some rich guy hurt you. Not all rich people are like that."

Daisy nodded.

"I know, and I understand. But sir, if I were in that circle. Then what I've been doing all this time will be in vain."

To prove to his family that without them he would be fine. That he was not the least bit interested in their treasures. To not recognize Daisy as their family.

Just as those who do not consider Daisy, neither will they consider her family.

"If that's all you talk about. Excuse me." Daisy wakes up and goes out.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, a woman approached him.

"Are you Daisy?" ask the woman.

"Yes, right. There's a... "

"plaaak. "have not finished talking a slap landed on his cheek.
