"What cooking?" Naomi asked as she wrapped her arms around Oscar's waist.
"Breakfast," answered Oscar, whose hand remained in the kitchen.
"I didn't know you could cook" Naomi said, which only made Oscar laugh. The man turned around, then hugged Naomi whose body looked even thinner. It's been a month since Naomi, Oscar, and Jesslyn lived in this house.
"Why did you get up and walk here? Should you just sit in the room, and then I'll bring you breakfast" asked Oscar, whose hand grabbed the chair, and asked Naomi to sit down.
Oscar himself still feels gray with his feelings for Naomi. One thing is certain, taking care of Naomi is her duty at the moment. So Oscar would do it wholeheartedly and do something else that would make Naomi happy for the rest of her life.
Except making peace with Jesslyn sucks!
Yeah, it's been a month and that nine-year-old girl still sucks.
Until sometimes when he was upset, Oscar wanted to throw or drown him into the lake behind the house.
But Oscar couldn't do it because Jess is Naomi's favorite daughter.
Now Oscar has to get used to it and maybe adapt to Jess' annoying behavior.
"I'm bored in my room!" Naomi wrapped her arms around Oscar's neck, and the woman would begin to wrestle with Oscar.
Naomi's mood is easily changed in a short time. Sometimes he gets angry at Oscar. Then sometimes he will also be as long as the heart is struggling at Oscar when Jess is not there.
"Jess left school?" Ask Naomi again.
"Yes! Jess's school bus arrived on time until the girl had no time to eat breakfast" Oscar reported.
"You didn't bring Jess stock?" Naomi has already let go of her role at Oscar.
"I can't find Jess' box! Maybe she threw it into the lake, "Oscar pulled both shoulders, as Naomi got up from her seat and walked up to the shelf next to the sink.
"Then what is this?" Naomi showed Jesslyn's box on the shelf since then.
"I didn't see it" Oscar reasoned.
Naomi just sighed, then took out one loaf of bread and some ingredients from the refrigerator. The woman began making sandwiches, then arranged them into Jesslyn's stock box and closed them neatly.
"Take me to Jess' school!" Naomi's next decree to Oscar who has been just silent sculpting.
"You're home and let me drop you off, '" Oscar suggested.
"All right!" Naomi gives Jess' box to Oscar.
"But make sure Jess accepts it and eats her breakfast!" Order Naomi while close the cardigan she is wearing.
Oscar sighed then nodded heavily. The man finally got out of the house and got into the car. But a few moments later Oscar came back down and called Naomi.
"Nao! I forgot Jess' school!" Oscar said a little grimaced and Naomi could immediately understand that Oscar did not want to deliver Jesslyn's box of supplies alone.
That was probably just a small talk!
"Naomi finally got into the car and grabbed Jess's box. Oscar's car drove to Jesslyn's school.
****
"Hi, Honey! You left your provisions," said Naomi, dropping Jess's box. Jesslyn's gaze was immediately fixed on Oscar who was sitting behind the wheel.
"Mom made it?" jesslyn asked without a hint of a look of anger from Oscar who pretended not to see Jesslyn.
You shitty girl!
"Yes! Mom made the sandwich. Are you still allergic to Dad's cooking?" Naomi asked, and Jesslyn received the box from Naomi's hand, without answering her question.
"Dad is dead!" Answer Jesslyn ketus.
"Jess!" Tegur Naomi holding her head.
"Mom!"
"Mom's okay?" Jesslyn asked worriedly.
"Come to the hospital!" Get Jesslyn worried again.
"Mom is fine and please be polite to Oscar! She's your dad!" Naomi said firmly to the princess.
"Yes!" Just one short answer from Jesslyn and her tone remained sounding faint.
Jesslyn did not answer again and the girl immediately turned around, then went back to her school.
"It's over?" Oscar asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes!" Answer Naomi briefly. The car drove off the school yard.
"I was thinking, if I were gone, you would take care of Jesslyn and be her Dad"
"I'm sorry, but I can't seem to" Oscar interrupted.
"Yes!"
"You don't look ready to be Dad to Jesslyn and maybe you're still in shock with all this" Naomi's opinion held back the disappointment in her heart. Meskopun is not Oscar's fault either.
Naomi never told you in the first place that Oscar was a father, so be that insensitive man all this time. Not to mention the attitude of Jesslyn who always ketus on Oscar must make Oscar more illfeel on the girl.
"Jess I'll leave it at the foundation after I leave. I'll explain it slowly" said Naomi, who eventually made her decision.
"Hopefully this is the right decision" Naomi continued with hope. Unlike the Oscar who just mute and focus on driving. Oscar did not comment.
Yep!
There may not be a father in Oscar!
After a journey of about fifteen minutes, the car finally arrived back at the lakeside house of Naomi.
Naomi went straight down ahead of Oscar, when suddenly the woman's body was a little unsteady.
"Nao!" Oscar hurriedly gets out of the car and sustains Naomi's body.
"A little cold" complained Naomi as the wind blew slowly. Oscar immediately grabbed Naomi and took her inside the house.
"Lay down and I'll make you some warm tea" Oscar said, guiding Naomi to lie on the couch. Not to forget Oscar also enveloped Naomi before continuing to go to the kitchen to make a warm drink for Naomi.
****
Oscar, who had finished checking all the doors and windows, peered slightly into the room, where Naomi was lying while holding Jesslyn.
"Don't go, Mom!" The Pinta Jesslyn that Oscar could hear faintly.
"Mom's not going anywhere!" Naomi is seen rubbing Jesslyn's head with a lot of affection.
"Stop being so tight on Oscar, Jess!" Naomi's next advice to the princess.
"Mom doesn't understand why you hated Oscar so much in the past" Naomi said.
"He sucks!" Jesslyn ketus.
"Which part sucks? You don't even talk to him very often" Sergea Naomi was a little surprised. Jesslyn immediately scowled.
"Jess doesn't like him!" Said Jesslyn who was still looking for your excuses and justifications.
"Why don't you like Oscar?" Naomi asked again full of questions.
"Not everything has to have a reason, Mom!"
"What if Jess asks why Mom never married, Mom will answer?" Jess turns Naomi's question around.
"Because Mom wants to focus on taking care of you and watching you grow into whatever you want" Naomi said, answering Jesslyn's last question.
Jesslyn remained silent. The girl suddenly hugged Naomi, then cried in her arms.
"Sorry, if Mom can't be the perfect Mom for you yet, Jess!" Naomi mumbled.
Oscar, who had eavesdropped on Naomi and Jesslyn, finally turned around and closed Naomi's bedroom door
