Wife On Paper

Chapter 238

"Darling, let's go home" called Ara as soon as she walked into her little princess class. Merra was doing the coloring in the room alone.

"Mama!" pekik Merra saw the arrival of the mother. The little girl immediately tidied up her book and then brought the big box that Dani had given her.

"Here my mom help. This what, honey? It's so big." Ara shook the box with the pink ribbon. "From who?"

"The pony, Ma. From Brother Dan. This is also, this is also," said Merra who smiled happy to show the bag and also the complete stationery inside.

"A lot. Did all your friends get it too?" ara asked, peeking at the contents of the box she was carrying. And his eyes were stunned to see the contents, even though Merra had said what was inside.

"If the doll .. only Merra, Ma, "the little girl replied honestly. "Merra never asked for it, Ma. Brother Dan brought it to Merra himself." Before the mother asked, Merra explained the truth.

"Mom believe me, Merra did you say thank you?" The woman reminded him of the good things he always taught her.

"Already, Ma. Let's go with Merra first." The little girl pulled the mother's arm towards the teacher's room. He was looking for Dani who seems to have left, even his car was not in the parking lot.

"Why? How lethargic is that, honey?" Merra stopped before even getting to the gathered room of those teachers. The quiet atmosphere, made Merea realize that Dani had left the place.

"Padahan Merra wants to introduce her mother to Kak Dan. But he must have left" he said disappointed.

"Other times must be Brother Dan here again. Don't be sad." Ara gently rubbed the top of Merra's head, then embraced her little girl to go home.

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

"We're back in Jakarta, sir?"

"Later in the afternoon. I still want to take a walk here. Did you check the files I gave you?"

"Already, Sir. But here, the names of his father and mother do not exist. He was recognized as an orphanage child and the complete information about his personal data was stored in the central foundation" Leo said, reading a macbook in his hand.

"Oma foundation is indeed amazingly complicated. He uses double security for all personal data that concerns his citizens" muttered Dani, who was upset by what he could not get quickly.

"The address is?" Leo nodded. "Use the rental car and keep an eye on the house, take pictures of everything you think is important and send it to me" he told the assistant.

"Ready, Sir."

"I'll be out for a minute. Always be careful."

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

Leo drove his car to Jakarta that afternoon. Inside, Dani was sitting with her legs crossed. He stared one by one at the pictures that Leo sent through his phone.

Leo could approach the house easily. He disguised himself as a buyer with little wonder at the person who served him.

Dani's eyes puffed up as soon as he came to the photo showing who the real owner of the house and the business was. Based on the information he got from the assistant, there were five people living there.

"It turns out she!" Dani looked shocked and in disbelief.

"Have you married again? That fast?" mumbling slowly. "But didn't the little girl say that she never met her father? Ah ... no-no, why is it all a coincidence?" The young man squeezed his fingers hard. "Wouldn't anything have happened in a few years, including that marriage."

"How, Master?"

"good. But you still have one more assignment in Jakarta,"

"Ready, Sir."

"Wake me up when you get there" he told Leo. The young man put down his cell phone, then closed his eyes in a sitting state.

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

"Morning, Dad!"

Dani came down and greeted the father who had sat down at the dinner table.

Adrian looked at the astonished child who seemed excited today. Even the young man had asked Yulia aunty joking.

"Daddy why? Just used to see it," ketus Dani who makes Adrian surprised. The young man did not look at him from the beginning.

"I'm also a regular, Boy. Are you sick?" Adrian mocked while biting his sandwich bit by bit.

"I'm healthy, Dad. Hugely. Was there a problem at the office when I left?".

"Of course not. The office is back on the handle, isn't it? And I never made it as complicated as you did in the beginning,"

"The name's just learned, too, Dad. Be understood. Besides I've replaced it by getting some important tenders, haven't I? Daddy has to admit it, Don't forget it!" Dani's eyes glanced sharply at the father who didn't care about her.

"So, when?"

"What?"

"When are you ready to officially replace Daddy?" adrian asked casually. This is the time he has been waiting for. Adrian wants to retire early and enjoy time for himself.

"Suddenly I don't napsu breakfast." Dani stopped the breakfast. He almost stood up as the voice of the father prevented him.

"Recycle your breakfast. You're not a kid anymore, Dan. Don't always run away if Daddy asks you to talk seriously. Express your reasons clearly, not avoid." This time Adrian would not let the young man reason this that was absurd.

Dani took her seat back. But to continue his breakfast, he was really lazy.

"Origin Daddy still wants to come to the office with me as usual every day. I'll accept being Daddy's replacement" Dani looked at his father's face bravely.

"If you're officially Daddy's successor, then Daddy's next position is commissioner. Where there is a commissioner every day must also work as CEO, with you anyway."

"Then Daddy was nice at home? Or even vacation abroad and not come home?" dani was upset. "No! I won't let it."

"How about your old Swiss job you gave Daddy? Like you said, Daddy has a knack for being a barista. Daddy will add more knowledge to make it more expert. It seems more fun to mix coffee, rather than holding a pen and struggling with a file that sometimes does not clear the end." Adrian story to melt the atmosphere.

"I can't afford your energy, Dad" Dani said.

"alright. I'll give you free energy for your coffee shop until you can afford to pay Daddy well. Hows it? Or do you need time to consider Daddy's request?" Adrian very smoothly expressed his wish.

"I won't think or consider it. Now or later." Dani confirmed his decision.

"Come on, let Daddy rest. You can go to high school, whatever you want. It's all gonna be yours."

"I'm leaving, Dad." Dani pamit while passing did not wait for the father's answer. "I want Daddy to stay in this house" he continued, the goal was still heard in Adrian's ears.

After the death of the child, Adrian daydreamed. Even the coffee that is still half in the cup no longer wants to be touched.

If there is still Ara here, Adrian would be very happy when Dani asked him to stay. But his wife has gone.

Years of staying here, apparently not to make his heart calm. He only survives for Dani. For the sake of guiding his only child. For him, he would do anything.

The main goal is for Dani to be ready to hold the reins of leadership, when all the responsibilities that have been on his shoulders turn to his sole heir.

Why is it so hard to find you, honey? I'm almost half a century old, I'm afraid I don't have time to find you again.

Adrian was upset, he no longer knew how to persuade his son to obey him.

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

"Mother, how is she? sinta said mom was sick,"

Right now, Ara is visiting the orphanage. Actually two days ago he had already come to that place. But upon hearing the news that Fatimah's mother was sick, Ara immediately took the time to go there.

"Mr Adrian is here every year, son. On your wedding anniversary,"

"I know, Mom," Ara wiped the wet that came out at the corner of her eye. "I'd love to see him, come here the day he's here, but I'm scared, Mom. I'm afraid I can't get away from him anymore."

"Aren't you supposed to tell her about Merra? That's Merra's right, son."

"Merra also asked continuously about her father. Sometimes I get confused for excuses, Mom. I don't know when I can hide it." Ara's eyes glazed back, she could no longer hold back her sobbing.

Here in this room there is only himself and Fatimah's mother. The person she considers her mother. Until he felt free to let out all the anxiety and sadness that he had saved himself so far, even when he could not tell his mother.

"If at any time, God gives you a chance to meet Adrian again. Would you promise me to fulfill Merra's right to know who her father is. Although maybe your relationship is different,"

"I mean Mom?"

"Who knows if one of you has decided to try to get in touch with someone else."

"No ma'am, I never thought about it. If Adrian wants to remarry, I'll take it." Ara lowered her head, her heart was heartbroken saying so. Splitting up like this alone makes his heart hurt, let alone get the fact that the man he loves is married again.

"Doctor Ori seems to like you." Ara looked up, shocked by what Fatimah said. "I'm sorry I didn't interfere, son. But, if it is already impossible to return with Mr. Adrian. You have to accept someone else who wants to take care of you and Merra. The little girl needs a father figure."

Ara speechless. He squeezed his own fingers hard. All her life she just wanted to be Adrian's wife, love Adrian, no one else.

What did he do in the past was selfishness? And was what she had maintained until now something that was considered unfair to her little daughter?

Where should Merra get a whole family. Not like this now. Not knowing who the figure of his father, which Ara always neatly hid.

"I consider Doctor Ori like my sister, Mom. No feelings for her."

"But it doesn't seem to be with her, son. I saw her a few times staring at you like."

"Love likes it, Mom. Fatma also seems to. Just match them. I ... I can't."

Ara stared at the fatimah maam softly. For whatever reason, he will not replace Adrian with any man, either for Merra let alone himself.

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

"Hey pretty!" Ori waved her hand at Merra who had just walked out of the gate of her school.

"Om Ori," cried Merra as she jumped in excitement. These few weeks, Ori had indeed not visited Ara at all. Maybe this little girl misses him so much.

The handsome doctor bowed his body and spread out his hands. And Merra immediately ran to embrace him.

"Later mama_"

"Silent. Om has the same permission as mama Merra, if Om who will pick up at school this afternoon," said Ori who also misses Merra. Really, he was never close to another child as close as his relationship with Merra

Perhaps their inner bond is strong, as it has been since the little girl was born.

"You want to go to Time*one?" the man from the doctor's profession offered Merra.

"Two of them, Om?"

"There's someone in the car. Just look." show Ori to her car.

Merra approached to find out who Ori meant.

"Aunty Sinta!" pekiknya joy. He also misses the chatter of the residents of his mother's friend's home.

The little girl rushed into the car leaving Ori who was smiling as she shook her head.

"Tante's in the game, right?" merra asked the skinny girl sitting in front next to Ori.

"Tante has never been there. What's the playground like the one on the night market, Mer? Aunty dizzy if riding that round and round. Better aunt does not come." said Sinta who actually wanted to come because there is Ori but what power, his body can not be compromised.

"There's nothing like it, Sin. That's a game arena not a vehicle like in the world of toys. There's basketball, races, claw dolls and more." Ori smiled amusedly at Sinta's words. How can people all sinta even not be able to ride the extreme rides that he thinks should be tried every person.

"really? Aunty came along then," Sinta became excited once when she said it. "We spend money on the doctor, Mer," he continued, glancing at Ori.

"Definitely aunt!

"Silent. Om is strong enough to finance you all day. Just don't ask her Time*one to be taken home," Kellakar Ori who greeted the laughter of the three.

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

"Merra isn't home yet, son?" Esther repeatedly paced back and forth to see the arrival of her granddaughter.

"Oh, sorry Mi. I forgot to say it. Merra invited Ori and Sinta to play. Ori hasn't been here for a long time because of service outside the city. He misses Merra." Ara explained to the mother while planting some new flowers.

"Who's wife, son?"

"I haven't told Mami yet. I'm sorry I forgot Mi" Ara moved from her seat down closer to Esther now.

"Ori is a pediatrician at the hospital where Merra was born. He was also the one who proclaimed the adhan to Merra at that time, Mi." Esther is reopening the story of the past.

"What do you_?" Esther hung up her words. But his eyes did not turn from Ara.

"No, Mi. We're just friends. I already considered him a sister." Ara reaffirmed her status. He wondered why the two women he thought were his parents revealed the same thing.

"Did he ever reveal his heart to you?" Ara shakes.

Esther's getting weird. Is there really anyone like that? Sincerely did not expect a reply from what he had done for many years. It can't be, can it?

"We're just friends, Mi. Not more." Ara reaffirmed her words.

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

"Hurie...!"

Merra gets on a car bomb with Ori. While Sinta was riding in her own car. Ori manages to hit Sinta's car until the girl is pushed back. Makes Merra scream happy because she managed to defeat the skinny girl she called the aunt.

"It's ah, aunt lost. It should be Merra who fights auntie instead of Om Ori," he said as he got off and out of the car bomb arena.

"Yahh .. angry aunt, Om." The look on Merra's face was sad, she felt guilty.

"You're approaching Aunt Sinta, honey. Just play the claw doll. Let Om go first buy drinks for you," said Ori who followed down then followed Merra behind him.

"Aante! We're playing claw doll yukk?" Merra approached Sinta who was sitting not far from her. "We are clawed dolls are a lot," said Merra who immediately pulled Sinta's hand to where she wanted it.

"Can't cheat anymore, yeah." Sinta gave the conditions to the little girl.

"No. Where can the clawed doll cheat. If you can't get it right, you definitely can't get the doll you want, right" said Merra.

"Means that if you play another, Merra intends to cheat dong same aunt?"

"No, Tan. Actually Merra is not cheating aunt. But Om ori who has such an idea," whispered Merra approaching to sinta.

"What idea?" Sinta's eyes glared in shock.

"Consecret! ha ha ha,"
