The Choice of Old Man

Wife Candidate

The sun began to rise above the sky. Ilona picked up cups of plastic cups on each table, putting them in large plastic cups. In fact, the trash can is provided, but there are still visitors who leave a glass cup or snack package. Ilona dumped her trash in a barrel located in front of the cafe.

After that, Ilona sprayed the window glass with cleaning fluid, then swung the rag in her hand to the left and right. He tiptoed, extending his hand over the glass to wipe away the visible dust. Someone snatched the washcloth he was holding, helping the girl wipe every corner of the window frame.

"I want to too." Regan gives the washcloth to Raje, the man exemplifies how to wipe it properly. Raje looks enthusiastic following Regan's direction.

While Ilona stood there, trying to digest what she saw before her. Regan has kids? Had she been approaching someone's husband all this time? The first time she met him, she kissed this man's lips. Ilona thought further. Regan takes Rajendra to the cafe.

"Oh, yes. I ordered iced coffee with two croissant buns."

Ilona was still standing on the spot. Then, he muttered a little while looking at Rajendra. "Is she not a widower anymore? Or even a wife?"

Ilona's murmur was caught by Regan's ears. "Eh, don't get me wrong. This isn't my son, he's my daughter's daughter in the office."

"Seriously, Sir? You don't have a wife, do you?" ask Ilona to make sure. The smile on his lips.

"No. I've been single for four years."

Ilona looked towards Regan, her mouth gaping at the man's answer. He immediately covered his mouth with his hands. His heart pricked from its place. Before the yellow path curved, Ilona still had a chance of getting close to Regan.

"Om, where's my bread?" rengek Raje who is tired of playing with a washcloth.

"Oh, yes! A moment."

The girl took out a small notebook and pen inside her apron pocket, writing Regan's order. Ilona tore off a piece of paper, then walked towards the bartender's desk, handing the paper to someone who served as a barista.

Before long, the order was ready. Ilona held up a tray containing one cup of iced coffee cups and a plate of croissant bread. He walked over to Regan's desk.

"Be careful, the bread is still hot." Ilona showed her friendly smile, while putting Regan's order on the table. Ilona looked at the man. "So, whose son is this, sir?"

"Attent." Regan plucks a piece of tissue. Then, he sliced off two warmed croissants and gave them to Raje.

Because Raje keeps asking a sister to his parents. As a result, Dimas and Della glided to the city of Bali for a honeymoon for five days. Surely they left without taking Raje.

It's been two days Raje's been living with Regan. From there he thought of a crazy idea. Today, he will hand Raje over to Keenan and Alexa. Hopefully, the couple was also blessed with children after nurturing the boy.

"Alhamdulillah, I almost thought you were married." Ilona breathed a sigh of relief.

Unpermissioned Ilona walked into the staff dressing room, picking up the paper bag she had left in the storage for the staff. Ilona returns to Regan's desk after picking up her things.

Ilona thrust the paper bag towards Regan. "This, sir, is a pair of jeans at your request."

"Hihi, what is Om?" exclaim Raje.

"It's a gift from Om's future wife." replied Regan.

Ilona's heart race is no longer care, especially when Regan answered so. For a moment, he looked away, putting a fist into his mouth. However, Ilona took a deep breath while rubbing her chest.

"K-kalo that's ... Me ... I'm back at work again!"

Regan laughed out loud seeing Ilona running in disarray. "To think, it's exciting to have a wife like her."

****

"Eh? This who?" Alexa looked confused looking at Raje.

Raje took his finger off Alexa's clothes. The little boy was grim. "I thought Mama. The clothes are the same."

Regan explains that she will leave Raje at Alexa and Keenan's house for three days, until the boy's parents return. The man also has a job and cannot continue with Raje. It's impossible, right, Regan works while carrying a child? He said so, so that the couple pity him.

"Your name must be Alaskan Rajendra, huh?" tanya Keenan crouched down before Raje. The little boy nodded.

"Kok, Brother Keenan knows?" Alexa glanced at Keenan suspiciously.

Keenan pinched Raje's cheek. "He's Dimas's son."

"Rajendra, come with Auntie, yuk. There are lots of toys in the room, you know."

Alexa, who actually likes young children, immediately took Raje's hand into the house. He was sure that the child would not be bored, because in his room there were so many toys when he was a child. Meanwhile, Regan gives a backpack containing the clothes of their best friend's son, Keenan.

"Goodluck yes, Bro."

Keenan then follows Alexa. The girl was seen pulling a large drawer under her bed. Of the many toys, Raje chose hotwheels. Watching a child play alone can be calming. Raje is very comfortable in Alexa's room.

"Raje, want to play the horses are not the same Om?"

Keenan's voice rang out in the doorway of the room. He crawled, waiting for the boy to climb on his back.

"You!"

Raje immediately throws the cars as soon as he sees them. Keenan smiled knot. The boy lifted one leg up onto the man's back. Later, Alexa justifies Raje's sitting position.

"Ready?" keenan asked, his head slightly looking back.

"Ready!"

Slowly Keenan swung both hands, circling Alexa while mimicking the sound of a horse. Yes, this is how it will be if they are blessed with a child. When asked to be ready to be a father, Keenan is clearly ready. But not for Alexa.

Nope. Alexa does not want to have a baby. He still has to focus on learning. Alexa has listed the wish list in her diary. After graduating High School, Alexa wants to hold a massive wedding reception and honeymoon abroad.

"Tante, let's go up and dong."

Alexa's daydreams wear out when Raje wiggles her arm. Just as the girl was about to ride on her husband's back, Keenan ended the game of his horses. Keenan laid his body on a single bed. Before long, Raje lies down next to her.

"It seems Raje is more comfortable with Om Keenan, yes, than with Auntie?" Alexa is putting her lips together.

"No, really. I just miss Papa. How, old papa yeah, make the cuttings." Raje chirped.

Silent welcomed. Alexa and Keenan were silent, confused as to what to respond to. Now the two understand why Dimas left Raje to Regan. Yeah, no more wrong. Dimas is on his honeymoon with his wife.

"Same aunt Om, if you make a quick baby?" Raje said again.

TBC.
