Wife On Paper

Chapter 232

"Hi, Dad!"

Dani was stunned from her daydream, so aware that the father just entered without knocking on the door first.

"In the morning you leave?" Adrian took a seat on the sofa, and lifted one of his legs, to the other.

Dani smiled obliquely. "I'm so excited, Dad. Like just got a mood booster yesterday." The young man raised his eyebrows, teasing the father.

"What happened in Bandung?" Actually Adrian already knows, but he wants to hear the story of his son directly.

Dani got up from her seat. Then walked up to the father, and sat down next to the handsome man whose black mane had now changed color.

Yep. Adrian chose not to cover some of the white hair that grew between his black hair. If other people are afraid of looking old, not so with Adrian. Well, it's undeniable. The charisma and good looks of an Adrian do not shrink in the slightest just because of such trivial things.

"Daddy look at this." The young man shifted the screen of the phone he showed the father. "They make me happy, Dad," he said unconsciously with his lips curled upwards.

Adrian saw one by one the photos shifted by the child on the young man's mobile screen. A variety of cute children's behavior filled his album gallery . Also not to be missed, there are some videos of Dani's activities there.

"Learn where did you come from, get that fast close to them?" Adrian looked at Dani full of probes. Of course it becomes a big question mark in Adrian, because he knows the character of his son.

"Daddy is serious!" Dani clucked annoyed at the father's question. "I learned a lot in Switzerland, Dad. Did Daddy forget I grew up there?"

"Including approaching those kids?"

"Teach, Dad! I taught them. Daddy's language is like I'm a criminal." Repeated strokes came out of Dani's lips.

Adrian chuckling. Then he took Dani's phone and continued to look at the picture.

"Daddy see this little girl?" point Dani at the photo of Merra who is standing next to Dani who is crouching. They embrace each other, it's the last photo as he tells the children to return to Jakarta. "According to Daddy, do we look alike,?"

Adrian stared at the two figures in the picture. "Looks yes. You guys are similar."

"I feel Dad, too,

same with Leo. God created extraordinary humans yes, we are not blood but can be similar,, “”

"Hem." Adrian is still staring at the picture of Merra, there is something that makes him feel at home for long there. "

She's beautiful." she praised.

"I also admit it Dad. Beautiful little girl" Dani said as she stood towards her chair. But the young man's steps stopped, he remembered now. Merra's eyes are very similar to that of her father. Even he himself lost because of the eyes of Dani mixing mama and his father. Is it possible that someone who has a facial resemblance and without blood ties could be that identical?

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"That's God's secret, Dan. You're just there." Shella, a friend of Dani's friend who works as a doctor, is being asked for an opinion by the young man now.

dani asked in great detail, why can it be the same? are they really identical and other questions beyond the power of science that shella studied.

"Can it be that similar? Without knowing each other. Without blood? "Dani was willing to spend her rest hours to see the woman who works as a doctor rather than lunch.

"Yes. As far as the eye can see. You are not identical. If checked again in more detail, it is still different. In medicine he called doppelganger which means similarity without blood."

"I haven't been able to digest your explanation, Shel? Similar but not identical. Especially that?"

"Yes. Similar it refers to the same thing Dan. His eyes were similar, his nose was 6, his face was similar but the size was clearly different, if identical it was one with another it was really the same as twins."

"like I look like my father?"

"Yes! Right enough. That's a real example" said Shella, who repeatedly glanced at her watch. "I'm sorry Dan. I'll practice soon, so I'm gonna have to drive you out now, "

"No problem! thanks for the time Shell, Bye! " dani said goodbye to the pediatrician.

Ara, Esther and Merra have returned to their home. Apparently, Ms. Fatimah is just tired, sick old so he said.

Yeah, that old lady led the orphanage a long time ago. Before Ara was there, and now there is Merra who has been that big.

Aanita as old as it has passed several generations. unfortunately no one is willing to replace her. they feel they are not worthy to be a leader and manager at once like Fatimah ma'am who they know is a strong-minded woman, she said, patient and able to survive in all conditions.

"Rest, Mer. You must be tired" Ara said to the little girl. Merra was so happy to meet the orphanage children that they played together until the time they came home.

"Sit, Mi. I I want to tell you something" said Ara, patting the empty part of the sofa where she was sitting. Esther according. The middle-aged woman wearing a long robe immediately approached and sat there.

"What do you want Mami to know about me?" ask Ara who doesn't know where to start.

"Everyone baby, tell me everything as long as we don't meet." Esther links her fingers to her missing adopted daughter with no news of all those years.

"I...." Ara. "I'm not out of the country."

"What?? How can you, honey? Didn't Mr Karim take you to the airport?" Esther's heart suddenly pumped fast. Is his guess to know this year right?.

"All Mr. Adrian is facing me on the street. I was kidnapped, Mi." Esther's fingers suddenly sweat. And his sight was fast paced.

"Mommy!" peekik Ara saw the mother suddenly dazed with eyes that had not been fully closed

"Mommy's okay, honey." Esther steeled herself. "Continue your story" he said.

"No, Mi. We can still tell you next time. Maybe mom's tired." Ara helps Esther remove her hijab and lean the increasingly thin body onto the sofa.

"So mama's okay, honey. My mom has diabetes. It's always like this if your mind is shocked," Esther said, calming the child. "get a drink, and then we continue the story.,"

"Mii... "

Esther's hand codes if she's okay, and the middle-aged woman forces Ara to continue what her adopted daughter started.

Ara offered a glass of water to her mother. And the middle-aged woman downed him.

"Then what happened?"

"Oh my God, honey...." Esther pulled Ara's body to hug her. His bad thoughts really happened. He took his daughter off the day before she was due. "I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry, honey." Esther was crying. The bad thoughts still loom over him. Can he hear the continuation of that story?

Next round after round of life in Ara's life told clearly to the mother. Sometimes Esther clasped tightly onto Ara's hand which she did not let go from the beginning. Sometimes the grip loosened and the other hand stroked a small back that he did not expect to be that strong.

"So you're husband and wife?"

Ara nodded. "Until this moment, Mi. I repeatedly asked my friends to check in on me. Our status is still the same. And almost every year I ask about my marriage status at the religious court, Mas Adrian doesn't go there at all." Ara wiped her tears. He did not know to be sad or happy.in fact not only he who firmly stand Adrian was the same.

"and Merra...."

"Merra's flesh blood, Mi," Ara blinked to calm her heart. All this time he just followed where the wind took him, and where God determined his destiny

"You don't intend to tell him at all, honey?" Ara looked back. Which mother wouldn't want that? But of course it would change the course of fate he had chosen if it were to happen.

"I ... I just wait for God to be kind to us. I don't want to ruin their relationship, Mi. If we're meant to go back, I just want everything to be okay. Including with Dani."

Esther rubbed gently on Ara's back. He still can't believe what happened. How could a rich man like Adrian be interested in his adopted daughter. Wasn't all this time, the man was surrounded by socialites who matched him.

"Did Mr Adrian really love you, honey?" Esther is doubtful. Although Ara had told her everything, and convinced herself many times, she could not just accept it.

"I didn't believe it either, Mi. But now .. I never doubted it." Ara's sad look. Telling about the man was, of course, like opening a box of his yearning that he had kept neatly in the corner of his heart. The name of the man he had even left behind for years but could not be wiped away. And although the possibility of him being able to return with her is still gray.

"Mommy can't help anything. Mommy's just afraid she's forgotten about you, baby. You're all Mami has right now. And Mami did something painful to you, Mami .. afraid it might happen again" Esther said.

"We've been through a lot together, Mi. I trust my husband. Like the first time he pledged himself to be my protector. And he's never denied it all this time, even though our feelings weren't even strongly tied back then."

The sound of the elevator opening sounded loud. Once before, a figure of a man who had just got off the car rushed in there, alone.

Time shows at 11 p.m. The apartment activity is still crowded. But the man was alone in the iron box. Not that no one else just happens to be going up. But because the elevator he was riding was an elevator with VIP access that he deliberately made when the child lived there.

That man is Adrian. He deliberately did not go home and even told his assistant to take a taxi to be able to drive his own car to his apartment, Orion Apartment.

The iron box shot from the ground floor to the highest floor of the building unhindered. Just as he came out of the square room that brought him that, he was already amazed. Not because of the atmosphere or the view that is seen from the hallway straight before entering his apartment. But because, something in his chest was beating faster than it should.

Adrian fixated, with a chest that blooms irregularly. suddenly the shadow of ara as if present there walking in front of him. Smiled at him. Then pursed his lips when what was expected of the woman was always unexpected because of her actions.

Not to mention, Ara's pale face and guilty feelings when he without cause punished the woman, jutek to her, even menzoliminya.

His menzolima? Yes, Adrian admitted wrong even he often deliberately hurt his wife's feelings. And strangely, it was interpreted by Adrian himself as an expression of affection.

Adrian is amazing. His way of showing his love is very different from others. Sometimes they don't even get deacons. And Ara, that woman always cursed him and relented to him.

Love is that weird, right? As weird as the feeling of longing for Adrian is hot at this time, until suddenly he wanted to come to this place himself.

This apartment is a silent witness to Adrian's strange absurd behavior and the growth of their feelings both. He told Ara to stay with him in one room when he could if he had to give one of his apartment units downstairs. Hires him as a personal assistant, which is not his job desk clear. As well as this commandment that almost all upset. But Ara could not be upset with Adrian.

"Honey.." Adrian's eyes heat up, his tears trickle down as he accidentally gnaws. Many tears drained for his wife lately. "I miss you...."

With slow steps, he brought the aged body into the apartment. Hoping to rest his heart and brain which for several months has often refused to work together again.

Hearts long, brain wistful.

But what power, in this room, everything is even more real. Ara's shadow came out into the kitchen like the middle and then passed in front of her. Not to mention if the woman was worried about him when he was sick, to have to go back and forth from the workspace to his room and so on. Until finally he was angry and decided to tell the woman to sleep in bed with him.

"Nature ... Ara... You took my whole heart ... My whole life." Sitting on the sofa, Adrian bowed bitterly, groaning in pain over an invisible wound, but gnawing at his heart.

Drrtt..

The man's phone sounded. Lazily Adrian saw who contacted him, then immediately returned to his usual self.

"Yes, Boy"

"Where's daddy?" A faint voice from across made the man comment on a smile. If someone else was worried it was definitely heard from his tone of speech, but that was the exception to his son. Always cover his attention with the opposite.

"Apartment. Daddy's staying here. Don't tell me you're scared at home alone and tell daddy to come home," joked Adrian to melt the mood.

"Ck! Habits. We were together all day at the office, Dad. Why not tell me? Not even telling me until this late."

"Has the eagle not come home yet?"

"I don't know!"

"Daddy is fine. Go to sleep."

"I'm not a child! If daddy keeps this up again, I'll take the first flight to Switzerland. That time too!"

adrian's lips curled upwards. However, Dani returned home due to the intervention of many people, including his wife, although his son did not care. Will the sacrifice of the wife be wasted? While Dani is more stubborn than she is.

"Yes ... Daddy's sleeping here tonight, yeah. Daddy misses being here, Boy."

"OK! Just one day"

Adrian just cleared his throat to answer Dani's ultimatum.

In the main house. After Dani hangs up, she doesn't move out of her father's office. This room that has never been locked, is rarely entered by the owner because everything is done by Dani. And the young man never brought his work home.

Nearly six years back in this big house. Not once did Dani want to enter his father's room which included this semi-personal. Adrian never gets angry if the child uses it.

Just today. He forced himself to be there because he was upset. With the father who even this late has not reached home. Even the Eagle was told to go home alone, and ordered to deliver if Adrian stayed in the apartment. Shitty right? Why is not his father himself who conveyed to him, instead told the assistant and bodyguard.

Just entering, there was something that left him dumbfounded. Almost in all corners of the smallest room among the other rooms in this house, there are photos of the togetherness of his father and mother.

How does the father love that woman?
