The Widow of the Widow

I Love Papa

In the car.

"Sister, I saw a lot of beautiful sisters surrounding you. What did they say?" Ferdo began his interrogation. He just wanted to hear if his brother would admit that he was starting to accept their stepmother.

"Sister say? They're already aunts." ketus Jerry.

"What did they tell you? I hear them ask mama? What did you say?"

"What's? It's not like that. I'm sure you didn't hear. Don't make it up."

"Oh yeah? Why do I hear you say that you're the son of a boutique owner?" said Ferdo, cuek.

"I'm sure you heard wrong. I can't possibly say that! But if I really say that, is it wrong? She's a papa's wife, so what's her name if we're not hers?"

Jerry spoke with a straight forward look.

"Oh yes, you are right to say, brother, we are his children, but we do not consider him a mother." Ferdo nodded his head.

Fema got out of her car after arriving in the basement parking lot of her husband's hospital. He deliberately did not tell Juan about his sudden arrival.

Arrived at Juan's office door.

Fema took her breath deep.

"Good afternoon mom!" The greeting managed to surprise Fema.

"Sorry mom, surprised dad!" Nina, Juan's secretary, then suggested that Fema enter Juan's room.

"Is my husband here?" ask Fema.

"Oh, I'm having a meeting mom, please wait inside."

"Well, excuse me for coming in."

Fema entered the room. Arriving inside, it turns out there is Marsha who is working on schoolwork.

"Sha??? How are you here, baby?"

"Mama?" Marsha looks happy because of the arrival of Fema.

Fema was sitting on the couch right next to Marsha.

"Sha... Why do you always come here, baby? You can ask the driver who picked you up to go straight to the apartment. Why bother you to work?" Complain Fema with a tone of despair.

This daughter is really late. Think Juan's office is a place to relax?

"Marsha will come here every day ma.. mama don't forbid that dong!" Marsha pleads.

"But papa Juan can be distracted if you have any. Mending you to mama's boutique. That makes more sense Marsha.."

"Why ma? What difference? Marsha is also a son of a father! Is it because Papa Juan isn't Marsha's biological father? Ma.... We're not going to stay forever, are we with Papa Juan?"

deg..

"What do you mean by that?" Fema pretended to be confused.

"Marsha knows ma, we only had 4 months with papa Juan right?"

deg.

"Shaa. Where did you hear this from?"

"Marsha heard from papa."

"Huh? When?"

"Darling.it's not like that anymore, son. 4 months might not happen again!"

"No need to entertain Marsha ma. My mother did not live in the same room as my father Juan. His mother's father Marsha's friend slept in the same room. Mama and papa should be, right?"

Jamb.

The phema can only be silent. What Marsha said is true.

"It's okay, ma..." Marsha touched the back of Fema's hand.

"After this, Marsha will not whine for papa anymore. Marsha promise ma. but let Marsha and papa near ya ma, so Marsha can remember what it's like to have papa!" Marsha pleaded with tears just flowing down her cheeks. How sad Marsha's heart is, counting the days that are approaching the fourth moon.

Fema could only hug her daughter. She cried at the thought of her daughter's sad feelings. "I'm sorry, sorry!"

"Sorry Marsha ma, Marsha is lying! Not for being able to remember papa after parting, but... Marsha wants papa to love us. If you love us, you will not part with us. That's what Marsha wants ma... Marsha wants to be Juan's son forever." the boy spoke in his heart crying.

"Honey, don't be so bad. Mama let you, to stay close to papa yah! Be a good daughter to papa." Fema cheered her daughter on.

"I don't know what this kid has heard about Juan's 4 months. I hope everything will be beautiful in time."

Juan has finished the meeting. He decides to return to his room because he is worried about Marsha. Afraid that the boy would be lonely waiting for him.

Arriving in front of the room.

"Early evening, sir,!" I'm waiting inside sir" Nina, Juan's secretary told me.

"Mother?" Juan looks confused.

"I mean, father's wife."

"My wife? Is it inside?" Juan's face sparkled for a moment. Without waiting for a response, Juan stepped quickly into his room.

🤭"Sir Juan is on his side? I never met my wife? Jagamaaa. it turns out Mr. Juan is as sweet as that"☺.

Arriving In The Room.

Juan's steps stopped when he saw Fema and Marsha sleeping. Fema slept sitting on the couch, while Marsha lay on her lap.

"If it's like this, your neck can feel pegel when you wake up" Juan murmured. He approaches them and slowly lifts Marsha's body to be moved into his personal space.

Marsha slept too well that she did not wake up when Juan lifted her up until she was comfortably in bed at this time.

"Paaaaa..." Juan's steps choked when Marsha's faint voice called out to him.

Out of curiosity, Juan undoes his intention to return to the study. He felt sure Marsha had just called him.

"You dreamt of me!" Juan stroked the hair of his only daughter.

"Mar..sha, sa.yang. papa.." murmured the tiny lips again.

Juan smiled at Marsha.

"So unfortunately you're on this papa Marsha? To the point that, you said it in your sleep. Papa loves you too Sha.." Juan kissed dear Marsha the spoiled head.

Juan found his secretary to order.

"Nina, if anyone asks me, just tell me I'm on a break"

"Alright sir" Nina replied, with a respectful attitude.

Juan locked the door from the inside, then approached his sleeping wife.
