The Woman Behind The Scenes

Chapter 39 - Kio & Kayla's New Place

After Ros's return to her parents' house, Dara is completely transformed into an all-rounder, and smartly splits her time. It turned out that living apart for 3 weeks with Kio, was enough to make him miss the boy, so he decided to take Kio back with him.

This time more troublesome than usual, because Dara has worked again. He can't easily leave the job because of the family's needs that must be met, considering Tomi let 70% of his income belong to Farah. This is not new anymore, so easily Dara became numb every time she saw her husband was sending funds with a large enough nominal.

At the age of Kayla 4th this month, Dara can relax a little because the baby is so calm and has no difficulty in sleeping and other things. After a long discussion, Tomi decided to leave their two children in daycare that they found was not so far from their office.

The daycare was quite popular, they once visited it before deciding to register Kio and Kayla there. With well-equipped facilities, a safe environment and an adequate number of caregivers, they can be a little quieter. After all, quite a lot of toddlers are entrusted to it.

This morning their first day will take Kio and Kayla there. The considerable distance of the office close to the daycare, and the owner is very friendly, making Dara can comfortably prepare everything for her two children.

“We take the kids, after that I take you to the office, and you finish the shift can pick them up. Is that our plan, baby?” Tom confirmed again.

“Iya. Kayak so. See where Kayla's milk is? I just bought yesterday.”

Tomi approached his wife who looked very busy, but had been neat since morning blind.

“This is darling? See, you are really tired, actually,” said Tomi while thrusting a bottle of milk in her hand. Dara smiled briefly.

When everything was ready, they hurried away. The daycare was crowded in the morning. Many parents have come to send their children. Three middle-aged caregivers sat there, holding some babies who were about 4 to 8 months old.

“Hai Kayla's. Kio!” a cheerful female voice rang out from within, a woman wrapped in a light brown hijab, came out. The woman's name is Fani, a nanny who lives in daycare, guarding the place. While other caregivers usually go home after the pick-up has been completed by the parents.

“This mother, Kayla equals me.” He took Kayla from Dara's arms. Kio looks straight inside without caring about his parents, mingling with his peers.

“That's right, immediately familiar Kio” Tomi nudged his wife, Dara nodded with a smile, watching her son from a distance.

“Titip kids ya teteh, today his mother who picked up. I work nights,” Tomi told Fani. The woman smiled kindly, and with cheerful eyes she could easily get Tomi to engage in a few lines of conversation with her, and interrupted with a few laughs.

“We go first. I'm almost working hours,” said Dara gave the code to her husband so they could hurry away.

Dara did not speak on the way, she attentively listened to what the comments about the daycare were on the first day. He calmed down a little because Kayla did not cry meeting new people.

“I go home first. My body is less so good.” Pamit Tomi to his wife and then left.

“Dorr!!!” danang's voice coming from behind shocked Dara. The two were swept away in laughter as they walked towards their office room.

Dara shook her head, because she also did not understand how she felt. To be sure, he felt awry, and felt Tomi's conversation with the nanny was a little excessive, let alone not involve him in the conversation.

“Don't know, Nang. I ... Ah not clear,” he said while putting his laptop on the table.

“Hmmmm brother needs those walks. Same way, yuk. Mira wants to take us for a ride on rame entar.” take Danang. Dara shook her head slowly, as leaving would only add complexity to her household as Tomi had to look after two children at home.

Danang embraces Dara's shoulders, as if to encourage his friend. From the beginning they were friends, Dara and Danang were so familiar. Although Danang was 2 years older than Dara, he still called the mother of two children with the title ‘kakak’.

Not only were the two of them in that close friendship, but Mira was as well. All three are used to going to lunch together, and always sit side by side if they are in the same shift.

“Aduh. Damnit. I am late?” The newly arrived Mira rushed out her laptop. Dryness can be seen wetting his forehead, and this is not his habit.

“Kok late you, Mir? Tumben amat.” Danang chirps, and followed by a slow pinch of Mira on his arm.

“My wake up plate. How else, it's too late. Dara why? Just shut up.” Mira's attention was on Dara who was staring at the laptop screen as if it was empty.

Mira approached the team member, patting him on the shoulder while startling him,”Heh. Beautiful mom. You why?”

Dara realized from her daydream, she had been thinking about Tomi's conversation with Fani.

“Bias. Children's problems,”

“Omong to me, Ra. Don't alone dipendak.” Mira hugged his friend's shoulder just like Danang did.

“So ... kids get into daycare today. Good anyway, not suspicious as well because the nanny is a lot. But .. I'm not happy that Tomi had a conversation that was too intimate with the nanny there this morning. I'm not invited to talk too,” said Dara with a half-sullen face.

“Bang Tomi is not really friendly so the person, huh? You are jealous, Ra.” said Mira, greeted by laughter Danang. Dara pinched Danang slowly, questioning her laughter.

“You're funny, brother. How could bang Tomi like another prmpuan? You less what? Beautiful yes, have work, smart, obedient husband too. Hahaha!” Danang laughed once more, before finally getting the next pinch from Mira.

“And that's right too. My husband is impossible, right? Ah, I don't know..” thought Dara inwardly.
