You Pinang Me As Honey

Episode 12: Angel and Alvin

"Please, Mas Ardan, Ms. Arinda..." Bi Imah invited Ardan and Arinda to sit on a park bench that has been prepared. There's lunch at the table.

"Mmm..., eat again...?" Arinda was agitated, holding her stomach which had not too long ago been filled with a plate of food.

"I missed breakfast to be with you." Ardan Sahut. "Now that I want breakfast at lunch, it's your turn to accompany me..." Further.

Arinda was surprised to hear that. "Pity Ardan.." His whisper in his heart. He saw Ardan who was about to take rice. Without thinking, Arinda grabbed the plate. Take rice, side dishes and vegetables for Ardan. He felt guilty because he could eat alone, without asking Ardan had eaten or not.

Ardan was surprised at what Arinda did. But his happiness was greater, because he felt he got a small attention that was very meaningful from an Arinda. Bi Imah felt the same way. Happy when Ardan is happy.

Ardan glanced at Bi Imah who was standing opposite him. Pointing out what Arinda did with a glance at her eyes and a curled brow. A smile of victory was on his lips.

"Thank you, beautiful..." Ardan said a little flirtatious.

"Ish..." Arinda held a smile with that call. His eyes glanced in annoyance at Ardan. "Eat a lot, you need a lot of energy to work. Don't let you get sick."

"Yes, God..." Ardan praised Arinda in his heart. "Truly a wonderful gift..."

Ardan really enjoyed his lunch this time. Bribes after mouthfuls that taste more delicious than they really are.

"Hmm.., Ardan..." Arinda called Ardan in the middle of his meal. "May I say something...?"

"Hmmm..." Ardan nodded without even taking out any words. Still enjoying his special meal.

"Tell Victor, don't call me "miss". I'm not comfortable with that call."

"Why...?"

"I'd rather be called by name. Or "the baby" like Bi Imah calling me."

Ardan was silent. Thinking for a moment.

"No..." Then answer firmly.

Arinda. "Ohh.., okay..." Resignedly. Dare not say anything more hearing Ardan's tone.

Silent. Only the sound of birds singing was heard occasionally.

"Hey... You're not in the office today...?" Arinda opened the chat.

"Why...?"

"Mmm, No papa..." Arinda felt silly.

"I'm the leader there. So it's up to me to go to the office or not." Ardan answered Arinda's question casually. "Again, there's Victor. He will finish my work. I just want to take a little vacation. With you..."

Arinda nodded as she pulled the tip of her lips down.

"I want the fish again..." Ardan asks Arinda to get him another fish. Arinda did it with complete sincerity. Ardan threw a smile at Arinda. Then Arinda replied.

"Thank you, Arin is beautiful..." Ardan's words made Arinda's face flushed. She blushed. And failed to hide it from Ardan. Ardan who saw it continued to tease Arinda by calling her beautiful title over and over again.

"Ihh.., What the hell..." Suddenly Arinda hit Ardan's arm.

"Aawww.welcome..." I heard Ardan screaming. Arinda surprised herself, realizing something she had done.

"Tss..Sory sory...!!! Sory Ardan, I accidentally..." Speak Arinda fast. Both of his hands touched Ardan's arm that he had hit earlier. Then rub it fast, as if it could ease the pain there. While cursing himself who somehow can do that.

Ardan glanced at Arinda's hand that was stuck to his arm. Realizing that he was doing something ridiculous, Arinda quickly released Ardan's arm.

"Ohhh, sory Ardan. I'm....." Not yet able to continue his sentence, Ardan chuckled. He laughed at Arinda's misdeed. Arinda shy. Massaging his sore nape. While looking down, hiding his face that was either now yellow or green.

Ardan's special lunch ended happily. Bi Imah was happy. Ardan and Arinda went inside the house afterwards. Talk to Victor in the living room. Then Ardan let Arinda rest in his room.

Ardan headed to his study with Victor. Continue their unresolved work.

"Where's Angel, Vic...?" Ardan asked while flipping through the files he was still studying.

"I've contacted him, Mas..."

"Then...?"

"Mmmm, it's still the same. Because there's still some agenda there for the next 2 weeks."

"Can't he just go home for a second...? A day maybe, or a few hours..." Ardan is a little bit riled up.

Victor shook his head in doubt. "But I'll keep calling him, Mas. I'll keep trying. But......."

Ardan waited for Victor's next sentence.

"I can't promise you anything, Mom..." Victor. Ardan breathed deeply.

"Did I follow him there, Mas...? I'll take him......." Ardan cut off Victor's unfinished speech.

"No need, Vic...!!! This way, we'll know how important I am to her. It seems like he'll still choose his job..." Ardan's voice grew louder at the end of his sentence.

"I'm sorry, Mom..." Said Victor who felt sorrow in Ardan's heart.

"Here you go, Vic, it's not your fault. I know, this isn't an easy job for you. You've been trying so well so far. You're great, Victor..." Ardan pointed his thumb at Victor.

Victor was silent. Ardan's praise was unable to comfort him. Seeing the disappointment on the face of his superior, making it like he had failed in carrying out his duties.

Yes, Victor's task on this one is indeed quite challenging. Although Ardan can almost confirm the result zonk.

Angel is Ardan's legal wife whom he married 4 years ago. He's a famous designer. He is very reliable in designing various clothes for various purposes. And always get a positive response from various groups.

Day by day fans of his works are growing. His career has soared until now he is at the top.

Various events successfully he held in the country and in various countries, with satisfactory results. It makes him always put his career above everything else. Career has become the main purpose of his life.

Usually, Angel would appear to be at home a few days. He used that time to rest. And the rest, he will choose to be in his study longer. There's not much time left for Ardan. Also to Alvin, their only child.

Actually for Ardan, it's okay if Angel behaves like that to him. Ardan will understand his position for Angel. But he always could not bear to see Alvin who almost never could be with his mother. Alvin is 3 years old, still so innocent. All he knows is that he just wants to be like the other kids.

Once Alvin whined to ask his mother out of the workroom at his house, just to be able to just have lunch together.

"Alvin mau Mami's. Alvin wants to eat with Mami, Hwaaaaa, Mami..."

Not even Alvin's cry could make Angel flinch. Alvin's wish was easy to do. He just wanted to be together for a while. You can watch her favorite movie together, take a walk to the playground together, and even hear a fairy tale before sleeping with both parents beside her.

Ardan was only able to sigh if he remembered their current condition. Although Ardan will always try to be there for Alvin, whenever Alvin wants, but it is still felt less. All Alvin hopes is to be with his mother. But it was like a dream for Alvin.

There's not much Ardan can do to fulfill Alvin's wishes with his mother. But at least, Ardan will give more time to Alvin at the weekend. They'll go wherever Alvin wants.

Victor, who is already quite familiar with Alvin, will always accompany the father and son together on weekends. However, the familiarity of the three of them is sometimes seen as strange by some people. Because Ardan and Victor are already like a g*y couple, babysitting a little boy.

(Haha...

Patience to Victor.).
