The Seed of the Ex!

Chapter 36 - Official Fatherhood

''Do you know what is the most valuable thing in my life? The answer is, You guys, said Bryant when Trisya invited him to breakfast together.

Trisya just kept quiet, she glanced at her daughter's bowed face, darling, is the food not good?'' trisya asked when she saw that Zalia was not eating properly.

''Why did you come here?'' the question suddenly popped out of the little girl's lips, still with the same look.

''Zalia, why are you talking so, remember who she is, '' Trisya said.

''No matter Trisya, I will answer whatever my daughter asks me, said Bryant, not forgetting to put a smile on his lips.

''I came here to take you and your mother back, I want to make amends for what I've done, so Zalia, do you want to forgive Daddy, baby?''

Zalia's facial expression still remained flat, her eyeballs staring at Bryant's eyes, ''are you sorry?''

''Very, Daddy is very sorry. If time could be turned back Daddy would never let go of your Mommy and make you suffer like this, Daddy is so sorry dear, please forgive Daddy, Zalia.

Zalia did not answer, the girl just kept quiet, she looked at the mother, Trisya returned the look of her daughter with a smile.

"Zalia will you forgive Daddy?" Trisya asked with a soft word. The girl looked over with her pitch-black bead of eyes, as if she was afraid to express her wishes.

"Darling, doesn't Zalia want to have a father like everyone else? Son, forget what happened in the past, Daddy instead of accidentally abandoning us, actually Mommy who left him. So, Zalia, would you like to apologize to Daddy?"

With a doubtful step, Zalia stepped down from her chair, her feet slowly approaching Bryant, "are you really my father?" Zalia asked with her plain eye bead.

"Sure, I'm your real father!" Zalia hugged Bryant's body drowning herself in his arms.

"I really want to have a Dad," she said softly, "i was often ridiculed by my classmates because I didn't have a Dad like them."

"From now on Zalia has a father, let's show Zalia's friends tomorrow, who Zalia's real father is!" Bryant raised his daughter.

Zalia took off her arms, then looked up at Bryant, "does Daddy want to come to school?" Ask with widened eyes.

"Not from yesterday also Daddy often come, right? So now why not, from tomorrow Daddy's gonna take Zalia to school, Zalia happy?"

"Mommy?" Zalia asked for an opinion and asked Trisya's permission.

"Sure, do as you like." Zalia smiled happily at Trisya's question.

"Okay, from tomorrow let's show everyone that Zalia has a father too, even Zalia's father is better than their father." Bryant got up while folding his hands on his chest, standing with great confidence.

Trisya snorted softly, laughing at Bryant's actions which he thought were too pessimistic, "see your Mommy laughing at Daddy. Daddy doesn't accept being laughed at like that" complained Bryant with a funny frowning face.

"Let's give Mommy the punishment" whispered Bryant, in Zalia's ear, making the little girl round her eyes while glancing at Trisya.

"What whispers are you?" Trisya looked suspiciously.

"Daddy said he wanted to give Mommy a punishment" Zalia pointed out.

"Are you saying, you're getting brave!" Trisya took a pillow and beat Bryant with the object made of cotton.

"Dear, I'm just kidding!" Peeked Bryant, his position was angled at the end of the sopa with his body half lying down.

Aw... She grimaced, and Trisya stopped her action and checked Bryant's condition.

"Are you okay, did the wound reopen? Let me see" Trisya looked panicked, trying to pull off the shirt Bryant was wearing.

Plaque...

Trisya clasped Bryant's upper arm while rising with an annoyed face, "basic mode!" Pekik.

Zalia threw innocent glances at her Father and Mother alternately, 'what's wrong with them, they just got better, and now they're fighting again, ' she lamented inwardly.

The next morning, according to his promise, Bryant delivered Zalia to school even to the front door of the class, many pairs of eyes that highlighted Bryant's whereabouts, they looked curious. Their hearts wondered which rich man had brought his nephew to school.

"Zalia who is she?" Ask a girl her age.

"He's my Daddy, his name's Bryant." Zalia introduced her father with a proud face.

"Huh, is that your Daddy? You don't lie to Zalia anymore, you don't lie to me, you don't have a father" he mocked, infuriating Bryant.

"Hey son, you're not polite, you go to school in this place to be well educated, but look at this, your brain is not able to digest anything that the teacher teaches, but, it was a waste for your parents to send you to school" said Bryant annoyed.

"Sorry sir, you can't talk to a child like that, please forgive him" the teacher scolded, then led the girl into the classroom.

"That kid's a bitch, I think I want to pinch his mouth, a kid's been good at gossiping," Bryant set his breath, trying to neutralize the emotions that were starting to overflow in his head.

"It's not Daddy's, let me take care of him, Daddy's better go." Zalia.

"Are you sure you can handle that brat?" Bryant stared hard at the little girl.

"I'm sure Daddy, go!" Bryant complied and passed to the office, not forgetting he brought a bouquet of pink flowers for Trisya.

Bryant entered the office with a face, a bouquet of flowers clasped neatly in his hands he walked out of the elevator, his steps leading to a room full of employees working in the shade.

Trisya was surprised that suddenly a wreath landed on her desk, she looked up to see who the person who put it was without excuse.

"M-sir Bryant!" Liana shrieked in surprise, as well as the others.

"Just ignore me, please work quietly, just assume I don't exist" he said, but can you? Of course not, what else for Trisya.

"What are you doing?" Furious Trisya slowly, he glanced at his friends from the end of his eyes, they were staring at Trisya with a strange look.

"I gave you flowers, what else?" Plain talk.

"That's not what I mean," Trisya was upset.

"From now on I'm officially announcing that I'm after you Trisya" Bryant's words received instant cheers from Bryant's employees with applause.

"Woah, Trisya is so lucky huh, Mr. Bryant likes her, does he know that Trisya has a child?" Whisper one of the female employees whose stool is not far from Trisya's desk.

"Hush, what are you saying, if you hear how Mr. Bryant, after all it is not necessarily true," said the friend.

Bryant turned to the two men, who immediately looked down in fear, "you're late, I've heard it, I love your style. You guys don't hesitate to talk about other people right in front of his face."

Bryant's speech successfully made the atmosphere that was previously boisterous to be silent, this room suddenly became creepy far from the previous atmosphere.
