Make shopping

Farzan had arrived at Chila's school, fifteen minutes earlier than the time the school was over. He pulls out a cell phone while waiting for Chila's school to disband, then types a message to send to Sandra.

[Are you going to be late to pick up Chila? I was at school and waiting for him to come out. If you can't pick her up yet, let her be with me first.]

That message made Sandra reject Gilang's offer. Sandra did not want Gilang to ask much about Farzan, especially if Gilang was protective of him. During this time Gilang always investigated anyone who was close and friends with Sandra, until the woman knew very well what Gilang would do if she knew about Farzan who often contacted and visited Chila.

Farzan did not receive a reply from Sandra, only seeing if the message had been read, making her think that maybe Sandra was busy. Fifteen minutes passed, and the school bell ended. Farzan got out of the car, walked over and greeted the security guard who was opening the gate.

“Put up Chila, Sir?” ask the security guard.

“Iya,” replied Farzan briefly with a friendly smile.

The security guard opened the gate wide, letting some parents in to pick up their child. Farzan walked with definite steps, as if the one he would meet was his own daughter. For Farzan, who was expecting a child, Chila's presence made a big difference in his life. Chila's shortcomings and attitude, able to touch her once cold heart, warm to make a smile is now often engraved on her lips.

Farzan looked at Chila who was standing and looking for Sandra's whereabouts, until the man waved to make Chila see her.

Chila stood holding both straps of her circular backpack, looking right and left, looking for where Sandra was. Until the girl saw Farzan walking while waving, making the girl widen her smile and then run towards Farzan.

Farzan squatted down when Chila was in front of him, smiling warmly as she rubbed the little girl's hair.

“How is the school?” farzan asked, a smile never missing from the face.

Chila nodded with a big smile, answering Farzan's question if his school activities were very good.

“Your mom doesn't seem to have picked up yet, I've contacted her but it hasn't been answered. You want to wait here with me, or you want to wait outside with me?” tanya Farzan gave her two options.

“Outside with you,” replied Chila.

Farzan was happy to hear the little girl's reply, there was a heart touched with warmth when he saw and heard Chila speak.

“Oke, where are you going to wait? Let me call your Mama later,” said Farzan later. She got up from a squatting position, before then reaching out to hold Chila's hand.

Chila did not answer, only immediately returned a helping hand and took Farzan's hand. A man's big hand, perhaps like his father's hand he could never feel his touch.

Farzan invites Chila to walk to his car parked outside, until their steps are stopped when they see who came and is now facing them.

“Hai, how is your school?” sandra asked as she rubbed her daughter's face.

“Good,” replied the little girl while nodding.

Sandra was happy that Chila was coming home from school in a cheerful state, so she looked at Farzan who was smiling at her.

“You didn't reply to my message,” said Farzan.

“Ah .. I was in a hurry, so forget.” Sandra actually did not reply because there was Gilang, afraid if the man knew he was replying to a message from Farzan.

“I used to want to invite Chila to accompany me shopping,” said Farzan.

“Shopping?” Sandra frowned.

“By Chila come?” the little girl asked, looking up to see her mother's face.

“I just moved places, so there are some items that I have to buy,” said Farzan explained.

Sandra was even confused by herself, whether the man just told her or wanted to take her shopping as well.

“Mama, Chila wants to come,” whine Chila because Sandra did not answer her question.

Farzan gave a small smile, looking at Chila who was whining.

“If you don't mind, I want you to come along to help me choose some items and also give feedback.”

Sandra opened her mouth, confused as to what to answer. He stared at Chila who wished to join Farzan, before then looking at the man before him who was waiting for his approval.

“I ...”

Sandra was thinking, why is what was said to Gilang true. He was invited to accompany shopping, even though it was just an excuse.
