Wife On Paper

Chapter 246

"Mom, Mum...."

Merra shook the arm of the mother who was holding her from behind. Ara also blinked, still trying to collect his life until finally the round eyes opened perfectly.

"Where's Dani's brother?" said the little girl.

"Back, honey. It's already night." Ara glanced at the alarm clock above the nightstand. At 01:00 in the morning. "Nearly morning." Ara's eyes narrowed in confidence.

"Son Dani's coming home saying no to Merra, Ma." The little girl looked disappointed.

"Pamit, really. Only, Merra was already sleeping, so did not know. Adrian also came here alone with Merra before returning home."

"Yahhh ... Why don't they stay here, Ma? Though Brother Dani has promised Merra." The little girl's lips were pursed perfectly.

"Hemm? A promise? When's? Didn't Merra just meet Dani at school? That's a long time ago." Ara was surprised to hear that she missed something so she did not know their meeting outside school hours.

"When Merra came to the market the other day, she accidentally met Kak dani on the street, Ma," said the innocent girl while yawning. "Merra sleepy, Ma."

"Yes is sleeping again. Morning is still a long time" said Ara who stroked the top of Merra's head and held it back.

Terjawab. It must be all planned carefully by the child. Even until Ara didn't realize anything.

"Don't Adrian feel comfortable here?" madam Sri asked carefully, after the middle-aged woman had really gathered all her courage to say it.

Bu Sri got a mandate from the Head of the home to ask Adrian, because this morning they all heard the news if Adrian will return to Jakarta. The man canceled his 3-day stay plan to one day suddenly. Of course, it becomes a big question both for Fatimah and other administrators.

"Some, Mom. I'm so happy to be here. But there was a sudden affair so I had to quickly return to Jakarta." Adrian reasoned.

Yesterday Ara said everything. About the parlor that hid him from Adrian because of the request of the woman he loved.

Adrian just doesn't want to make all the managers who know about Ara feel guilty about her. Because after all, all at Ara's request consciously.

"Oh, so. We thought, Adrian boy might have something to complain about with us, but it's not nice to convey." Ms. Sri reviewed a relieved smile.

Adrian is the orphanage's biggest donor, and he never asks for anything strange unless allowed to stay in a room that bears silent witness to Ara's life in that place. What a light request and not at all make their trouble.

"No, Ma. Give my regards to Fatimah ma'am yes, may he recover soon. I'm saying yes now,"

"Please, son," said Sri's mother sent Adrian to the front yard of the orphanage.

Adrian headed for his car where there was an eagle waiting there.

"We're going straight home, sir?" ask the Eagle who is ready in the seat of the wheel.

"To Ara's house first."

"Yes, Sir?" The eagle looked. He made sure again, if he didn't hear wrong. Is the master daydreaming or..

"We went to Ara's house, in the Magnolia housing," Adrian explained.

Magnolia Housing? He certainly still remembers a few years ago before he actually pulled his men to return to Jakarta, he went to the housing and met the mistress. Has this master found him? And did the madam also tell of their meeting?

If you look at the employer now, it seems there has been no story of his meeting six years ago.

"You don't know the address, Lang?" adrian asked when he saw the Eagle was silent without starting his car at all.

"Ready, Sir. Sorry." The eagle hurriedly started his car leaving the orphanage.

"Daddy has arrived, where are you?" Adrian appears to bring his phone closer to his left ear.

"I'm bad luck, Dad. I'll take a shower for a while" Dani replied from across the street.

"OK!"

Adrian ended his call. They made a promise to come back to Ara's house that morning, but it turned out that Dani had bad luck. It's already 8 o'clock.

Not only entered the courtyard of his wife's house, the man smiled to himself considering all the events yesterday.

Really, he did not expect if Dani finally realized all these misunderstandings. And the bonus, his son even loved his sister who was different mother from the beginning met.

Adrian decided to go in, after the umpteenth time he called his wife but not out. The front door was left open.

When he arrived inside, Adrian smelled the aroma of cooking that invited his hunger. Though earlier in the orphanage he still had time to enjoy breakfast made by Ms. Sri.

But his wife's cooking never failed to tease him.

The man looked for the direction of the kitchen based on his instincts. In the not so spacious room, he found Ara cooking seriously, unaware of her arrival.

Adrian rushed over, then hugged the woman from behind. Ara was shocked and immediately turned her head, but then she resigned after seeing that the one who did it was the husband.

"Where's Merra, honey?"

"What Merra was looking for, but Mas hugged me instead. Of course she went to school after going through a lot of drama this morning," replied Ara who was still focusing on the pot in front of her despite Adrian's hands hugging her possessive waist and smelling her shoulders.

"What drama, honey?"

"Merra was crying for her sister. Said Dani promised to stay here yesterday. He intends not to go to school because of waiting for Dani to come,"

"Yes, geez. We'll pick him up together at school." Ara nodded in agreement. "You're just alone with our little girl?"

"Of course not, Mum. All of this was your son. Very clever he negotiated with the elders who live here," said Ara while tasting his cooking. Then the woman gave a little to Adrian. "Try it, Mom."

"Enak. Always good." Adrian's tongue tasted several times. "What do you mean, my dear?"

"There's Mami Esther and another couple who also live here. But suddenly they all came out of town early yesterday, and I didn't suspect it at all. Because the reason given makes sense, Mas, " said Ara with a sulking face.

"The boy inherited my talent. Means I have to give Dani a gift" said Adrian who smiled proudly.

"No need, Mom. She brought my tulip flower that was still bud last night. Though I got the tubers with great difficulty," complained Ara. Not that he was not willing, but his struggle to observe the growth of the flower was not finished.

"Don't turn! The truth that the husband belongs to the wife and it doesn't do the opposite" Ara chirped in annoyance.

"That's what people say. But it doesn't apply to both of us, honey. Mine is yours and vice versa" said Adrian lirih. The man did not let go at all.

"Propel it hard, Mas. Of the fifteen bulbs I planted, only two were successful, the other was nil."

"All right, I bought tulips that have grown with the pot. Ok?" adrian said that turning Ara's body to face him because the woman looks to have finished her cooking.

"All parks. Also workers. Other flowers and ... Don't flirt! What if Dani suddenly walks in?" Ara pushes Adrian's body as the man nearly steals a kiss from her.

"Cannot be. She still takes a shower and always takes a long time. He woke up today. I'm hungry, honey," whispered the spoiled Adrian.

"Hungry? You're not kidding?"

"I'm really hungry to smell your cooking." Adrian cribbed while rubbing his queen's stomach.

"alright. Sit down first, let me prepare," Ara said in a hug.

"When did Esther come home? Then that couple you told me about?" adrian asked on the sidelines waiting for the wife to prepare her second breakfast.

"Mami says only 2-3 days in Jakarta. If the Saint does not tell when he will return. But he said it won't be long, just see his sister."

"I ... Can I stay here tonight, honey? One more day, Esther's mom's coming home. Aren't you afraid of being home alone?" pinta Adrian with a face. He really misses his wife, he wants to hear the story before going to bed as before.

"What should I tell Merra, if she asks?" Ara looked confused.

"You haven't told me the truth, honey?"

"I'm confused where to start." The woman shook her head, she could not tell the little girl because she was still confused about the events that happened in their lives.

Adrian took a deep breath. "Tell me the daddy's home and Dani's her sister's a different mother. You know better how to explain it with kids' language, honey. At its core, Dani's affection for her will be no different from the others. And my love is equal, both to Merra and Dani."

"Then Mas and Dani returned to Jakarta alone today. The work there must have been waiting. And you're all here. If you have time off, visit. I can't just leave my job."

"Don't you want to be with us, honey?"

"It's not so, Mom." Ara panicked to see the look on Adrian's face changed. Even her husband put down his spoon and did not continue eating it.

Ara rushed over and hugged Adrian's waist tightly. "I'm sorry. I'm just confused if I should leave those elders behind. I ... I miss you more than I know. Especially when I was pregnant with Merra, it felt like I was not strong and almost gave up. Black hoodie was a test. But what about their fate?" Ara's eyes wet, he saturates while sniffing Adrian perfume that has long not enjoyed every day.

"So .. you guys moved to Jakarta. Let the fate of both of them be what I think." Adrian pulled his wife's hand, then carried her body over her lap.

"Mommy?"

"Of course he's coming with us, honey. Isn't she your mother? Or are you gonna leave him here?" Ara shakes.

"But .. the debt, Mami still often think about it, Mas. His last treasure only lived the land he sold at this time. Let it be to cover the debt, I'll be the _"

Adrian silenced his wife's lips with a kiss. "You're still chatty! Did I ever ask you?"

"No."

"That means I don't need it. The debt and assurance in the form of you that Damar has brought to me is God's way to bring us together. Don't you understand yet?"

"So .. no_"

"No! There is no debt between husband and wife. Just ... Let me stay here, tonight." The face was again shown by the man, for the sake of being allowed to stay.

Really, Adrian felt like he was in a secret love affair with his wife.

"Yes. Let Daddy stay here even for one day, Auntie. I can handle the business in Jakarta myself," said Dani who came suddenly and sat next to his father.

Ara surged in shock, until she immediately stood up and commented her smile awkwardly. Adrian, however, smiled with satisfaction as his son supported him.

"Why don't you knock on the door when you get in, Dan?" Ara glared, she was embarrassed to make out in front of the child, the adult continued.

"The front door is not closed, Tan. Why do I have to knock? I'm an adult anyway" replied Dani, who did not mind the scene she had just seen. Moreover, they are both husband and wife and also the closest people. He thinks it's still natural.

"The breakfast is fine, Tan." Dani's eyes sparkled at the chicken soup in his father's bowl. It seemed delicious, let alone eaten with a baked potato whose aroma alone made his saliva almost drip.

"Sit down well, I'll prepare." Ara took the bowl and spooned the Chicken soup into it. "Eat a lot, you're so skinny" said Ara, who shifted a plate filled with baked potatoes.

"I'm a good body like Daddy. Even Merra says I'm handsome. If compared to the previous is certainly far different, Tan."

"Yes, you're as handsome as your Daddy. Aunt admit it." Dani smiled proudly to hear it. "Then you two stay here. Tomorrow we just go home" Ara suggested.

"Tomorrow Aunty must come to Jakarta, yes." The young man was not asking or offering but forcing.

"Ep... "

"Tomorrow Oma Esther has come back here. And Grandpa and Grandma too. So Aunty can leave the house and shop on them. In the future let those who hold this flower shop, with the supervision of my men."

"Agreed!" adrian suddenly said.

"How did you know? Ah ... aunt almost forgot that all this must have been you." Ara was staring at the boy.

"There has to be a sacrifice for every surprise, right, Tan? But they're not sacrifices, I'm just asking for help. I appreciate their service. Aunt take it easy." Dani came back with her food. "What a son. I can get fat if I eat aunty's cooking every day."

"Dad, I'm home now. Take good care of my beautiful aunt and sister. And I look forward to your arrival tomorrow at home" said Dani, who hurriedly left after finishing her morning breakfast.

"Hey, you said you'd stay over why come home first?" prevent Ara who was shocked when the young man suddenly stood up and took his leave.

"I don't agree, Tan. There's business I can't represent there. Give my regards to my sister." After the tos with the father, Dani waved her hand at the mother and then left.

Ara was fooled, she stared fiercely at Adrian who was smiling seductively at her.
