Wife On Paper

Chapter 243

A man walks towards the orphanage. Dressed in casual clothes, no one would have guessed that the handsome man was almost half a century old. Moreover, some of his white hair poking, making his charisma increased several times. Very fancy.

"Ck! Why Daddy is so handsome today. I'm not gonna ask Daddy out on a date or dinner to celebrate Daddy's birthday. It's just a regular family meeting." Dani clucked while mocking. He felt inferior to his own father.

"Are you afraid your boyfriend will like me? Oh ... Of course he has to like daddy, if he really wants to be part of our family" Adrian said.

"Here you go, let's go in!" take Dani who is already standing near the door of his car.

Adrian immediately got in the back seat without him knowing if Dani did not invite and Leo to drive his car.

"Daddy consider me a driver? Move ahead! it's good, "the grumbling Dani's murmur was unclear to her father.

"Mana daddy knows that we're just the two of us. You're no less handsome than daddy, too, Boy. We're like twins" Adrian said.

Dani was just sad to return the father's joke. They are like twins, only age distinguishes them.

Dani drove his car somewhere. Along the way, Adrian kept asking where they were going. And the child always answers 'secret', to make the man bored himself.

"Daddy likes flowers?" Not knowing what the young man wanted to discuss, he suddenly asked about flowers.

"Hemm, it's also because...." Adrian threw his eyes out. He did not continue his words.

"Someone I'm going to introduce to Daddy loves flowers, too. You guys are a good fit" said Dani, focused on the streets. Without realizing that the father was looking at him in surprise.

"Aren't you going to introduce daddy to your girlfriend? Why does daddy feel that even daddy you will fight," asked Adrian nudging the young man's arm.

"Don't be so bad to think. We'll be there soon" Dani replied casually.

Adrian silent. In his heart still guessing the plan of the child who played secrets with him.

"From your face I can already guess what Ara's answer is." The man glanced at his cousin's sister who was seriously staring at his phone.

"You don't know who Adrian is yet?" continued the man who brought his face closer to Ori. It looks like a whisper.

"Hmm?" Ori, who was not so responding to the words of her cousin, was suddenly attracted when the so-called name was the name of the man called the husband of the woman he had been guarding all this time. "Son never said it, who is he?"

"Famous business in Jakarta. My good friends then and now." the man looked far away, as if remembering a past incident.

"Why should you say then and now? Just tell me good friend, brother. Too complicated," said Ori.

"Because my relationship with him wasn't always okay. Until the incident involving my wife, it really dawned on me. He always helps me. Even though our relationship had deteriorated. And that's because of his wife. That woman had a big impact on her life." The man turned his head, looking at Ori who was only fixated on seriously hearing the story.

"He saved my life. Maybe you won't see me again, if Adrian doesn't come that night" continued the man who always felt pain when he remembered the painful incident.

"So because of that, Brother Toni asked me to look after her?"

Toni nodded. "He knows me even though we are not close. If I did it, it was certain that Ara would not accept it and would even run away again. That's the only way to help her."

"By guarding it?"

"Comm ... Shouldn't we interfere in the personal affairs of others? Regardless of whatever reason they are separated," said Toni sage.

"So I lost. Even I knew for myself what Ara answered without hearing from her lips straight away. How pathetic!" Ori put his phone on the table. Then the man in the doctor's profession scrambled his hair in frustration.

"Aren't you just comfortable with her? You shouldn't be that sad. After all, wasn't it when you said that you liked her, Ara had already indirectly rejected you?"

"It's all Toni's fault. Why do I have to be the one you told to look after, not just one of your bodyguards."

"Then you're gonna enjoy my pocket money every month without doing anything for me? Though you've been working but still asking me for rations," fierce Toni.

"You count once, brother!" said Ori with a high tone. "So now I have to step back and can't see her again?" The disappointed face of Ori.

"Sup to you. I told you not to force it, didn't I. So if he says no, it means you have to know yourself."

"She's the most mature woman I've ever known, despite her age still below mine. I'm comfortable with him." Ori is rough with her hair. He was disappointed, disappointed with the time that brought the husband and wife before him.

The handsome doctor suddenly stood up, then hit hard on his cousin's brother's arm. "You are the cause of everything Kak ... Huhhhh...." Ori gets upset and spills it on Toni.

"Persecution! I'll cut your pocket money later." Toni held back the hand of ori who was about to hit again.

"Always threaten so," Ori said with annoyance. The handsome doctor finished off all the drinks in front of him including those of his older cousin.

"Hey-Hi...." Ara stammered it. He had just come out when Merra said that the guests Merra was waiting for had arrived. Without knowing and realizing who her little girl meant.

His eyes were fixed on the man in front of him at this moment. So quickly time passed, he who was a teenager now has transformed into a handsome man. Handsome father.

Ara's breathing suddenly tightened, with the heart pumping fast. Is he dreaming? But no, it's real.

"Hi, Auntie." The young man reached out his hand to shake Ara's hand. While Ara, still in place.

Right now he is not okay. Why can't he digest Merra's words this morning saying someone is coming home, and it's his special guest.

Yes, Merra always called her brother Dani, and Ara never thought if Dani in question was Dani Ilyasa, his stepson. There are not many names of Dani in this city. After all, Dani is not in Jakarta, not Bandung.

"Ma, Brother Dani wants to meet Mama." Merra, who knew when she was next to him, held the arms of the mother.

"I-iya Dear." Ara's white face grew pale, she was too shocked by all this.

"Boy ... Daddy wants these flowers. Tell me...." Adrian who came suddenly from the side of the house while carrying a flower pot stuck in his place.

Not finished the shock experienced by Ara, he had to experience the same thing again.

He was dumbfounded to see someone meaningful in his long-lost life now in front of him. Dani had to hold onto the father, with both hands resting on the burly body that almost fell.

"Sa-honey?" The man was like dreaming. Suddenly all the memories between them swirled in his head. "Is this really you?" lirih.

Ara could not help herself. Seeing her husband who she longed for was not far from her, made her take many long breaths to calm her heart.

Wet eyes. Truly at this moment, he was eager to run to hug the man. But someone beside him made him stop doing it.

Merra who is still 6 years old certainly can not digest this event. He just stared at the puzzled three people he knew but acted strangely when he met for the first time.

"Om want that flower. Mama must give a discount if om who bought it," said the little girl plain.

"Ma-ma?" Adrian re-spells Merra's call on Ara.

"Yes, Om. This is mama Merra, beautiful yes," said the little girl grinned while writhing spoiled on the shoulder of the mother. "Ma, this is Brother Dani, and this is his father" Merra introduced them.

Without the little girl knowing if the three of them already knew each other.

"Merra, come along brother to the Mall yeah, a minute." Dani nodded giving the little girl a code.

"Why to Mall Kak. Said the sister earlier, we eat at home, earlier mama has cooked a lot and delicious for us," show off Merra.

Ara just looked down. While Adrian stared longing for his wife, and also Merra. The little girl he felt he had seen before even though he had forgotten where. And to his surprise, the little girl had called Ara mama. Questions swirled in Adrian's head.

"Sister wants to buy something else, accompany brother, yes." pinta Dani who looks familiar with Merra. Until Ara to be confused with the closeness of the two.

As Ara remembered, they only met while at school. Because if it's outside school hours, Ara always knows and watches it.

"Alright, Brother. Can you, Ma?" The little girl always asked the mother's permission if she wanted to go anywhere. Ara nodded.

"Get in the car first. Later brother followed," said Dani.

Merra runs towards Dani's car parked in front of Ara's house. And waiting for my brother there.

"Aunty's gone, Daddy's not okay. If Aunty wishes daddy happy with Aunty away from her, Auntie is wrong. Daddy's devastated, but still trying to be okay in front of me. Because of me" Dani said breaking the silence of the three of them.

"Dad, Aunt never married anyone else either. All I've checked, Merra is my sister," said Dani made Adrian flabbergasted.

"Darling?" Adrian looked at the silent wife. "Who was his name?"

"Merras. Ermerra Safior Dad's. What a beautiful name, right? I leave you two here, get your business done." Dani patted the father on the shoulder. Then he walked away leaving them both.

"Remember! I don't want to lose my sister!" dani's voice was still heard as she half-cried saying it.

💞love you😍

Dani wants both of them back or her sister, right?? 🤔
