Approaching


"Dear,"


As Binar approached, she took over her husband's shirt and put it in a basket of dirty clothes.


"Hey,"


Binar turned the body of her husband who turned her back and faced her. She also covered her husband's cheeks. "Listen, we as parents should guide him. You certainly know that Andra lacks your affection."


Adam looked down, he was getting closer. Drown his head in the recess of Binar's neck.


"Darling, I'm sorry. I'm so mad,"


"You can be angry, but not like this. Andra needs us. We have to prove we're good parents to Andra."


"Yes, you're right. I'm sorry."


Binar stroked her husband's head. "After this, take Andra for a walk."

"Pa, auntie," said someone from outside the door.


"That's Andra's voice" said Binar, making Adam's forehead wrinkle. It's not usually Andra comes to her room. He pulled his head and stared at the door.


"Andra," said Binar. He saw Andra bringing two glasses of milk.


The sparkle smiled, the liquid. Fortunately, Adam had traded it for the exact same bottle. "Why baby? make a aunt with Papa?" ask Binar.


Andra nodded doubtfully, her chest pounding in fear.


"Come in, Papa's inside." Binar gave Andra a path, she stepped aside and looked towards the flower vase at the end of the stairs. He saw Ayu watching them.


"Andra, man,"


"Mr ..." Andra said shrewdly.


Adam approached and squatted. "I'm sorry Papa yes dear, Papa is busy and there are problems so Papa is dizzy and Andra feels ignored. But believe me, Papa loves Andra very much." Obviously Adam, deep in his little heart did love Andra very much. She did not discriminate her baby, but she was disappointed that Andra had obeyed all her mother's words.


"Andra understood," His hands twitched, he was nervous. Does he have to stop everything? he was in doubt about both drugs.


"Yes, Mas. Andra brought us milk, which means she loves us so much. That's right, baby,"


Andra nodded quickly and lowered her head.


"Who made auntie, dear?" ask Binar.


Andra glanced at a glance, she hesitated to say it. He remembered his mother who put the right glass for Binar and the left glass for Adam. She even had to ask Adam to take her to her room.


"Su-su-sunya cold, you better make it again, Andra" he said. But Binar knew that the milk was still warm. He was not worried about drinking it either.


The sparkle touched that glass of milk. "It's still warm, baby,"


"May aunt drink, auntie feel thirsty."


"Make aunty on the right" Andra said.


Binar glanced at Adam and nodded. Adam sighed, this week he waited for Andra to be honest, but during this week Andra did not want to be honest. In fact, he often approached Andra and spoke softly, and until his patience would run out. He ignored Andra. Eventually the boy became angry with her.


Adam immediately crouched down, now he uses a casual t-shirt. "I'm sorry, dear Papa, if you're not a good father."


Adam's cheeks were immediately wet with tears that he had endured since. He was sorry and guilty, though his heart was still in disappointment.


Binar took over the tray that was in Andra's hands. The boy hugged Adam.


"I'm sorry, dear Papa, you're wrong."


"Papa's wrong, you naughty Andra."


"What if Andra sleeps in this room tonight? Yes auntie please, auntie wants to sleep with Andra."


Andra let go of her embrace, Adam instantly wiped away Andra's tears. It turned out that he as a father hurt her too deeply.


"Hows it? Your mom wants to sleep with you." Persuade Adam.


"Alright," said Andra nodding and making Adam and Binar giggle.

While in Andra's room, Ayu bit her nails. His heart beat faster, he could not wait for Adam to come.


"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
