"I work first, honey," said Thomas as he kissed his wife.
"Ehem ...ahem ... " Angel cleared his throat to see the affection of his parents.
Thomas turned towards his daughter and hugged her.
"My daughter is still jealous" Thomas said.
"I'm down from who, try!"
"Haha ... You're exactly like papa."
"Hm, can I ask you something?" ask Angel suddenly.
"What to ask, my little daughter .. "god Thomas while pinching his daughter's nose.
"I'm a big boy, Pa. I'll be as tall as papa soon."
"All right ... What do you want?" ask Thomas.
Angel glanced at her mother before replying. As her mother nodded, Angel steadily expressed her wish.
"I want the car as my birthday gift."
"Hm, of course!"
"But I want the card now."
Without waiting for your birthday, papa can give you any car you like. You can pick your first car now."
"Really!"
"All the cars in the garage on the side, you can have all the contents."
"Haha ... I don't want all that stuff, Pa. I just want one!"
"Well, you can pick some that you like. Later Papa will help you choose which car is best for you. Sorry for not being able to accompany you now. Papa has to go to work."
"I'll take a look at the contents with Mama later, Papa diligent work, yes!"
"Sure, dear," Thomas replied as he kissed Angel's cheek fondly.
Thomas turned toward his wife.
"It's fine at home, Honey!" thomas said, giving a brief kiss on Anna's lips.
Angel until averted his eyes because he felt embarrassed to see the intimacy addressed by his parents.
While Thomas looked ordinary and immediately departed as soon as he finished saying goodbye.
"How can you let papa kiss you when there are people around you? Was my mom ashamed to do it? I just saw it ticklish."
"Mama can't ban your papa, Angel, because it's her nature. Your father was a very easy man to show his emotions. It was like a clear glass bottle so everyone could see the contents without opening it. Mama used to think she was friendly only at the beginning of our marriage. But until you and your brother are big, their nature and behavior still remain the same and have not changed. But after thinking about it, my mother actually felt grateful if we could stay friendly like this. Mama hopes this affection can last until the end of our lives."
"Is that what makes you turn away from Om Theo? Is Om Theo too rigid like Dima?"
"Why are we talking about Om Theo?"
"Yes, just curious, anyway! I still find it awkward why mom married papa."
"Do you wish you were Dima's brother?"
"Yes, not really, anyway!"
"Well, that's why" Anna said. "How now? Are we gonna spend this morning discussing the Dima family or discussing the car."
"Car, you! Don't be angry, Ma. Beautiful mom, you!"
When you arrive at the car garage next to your house. Black and silver cars lined up to greet them. Angel was immediately fascinated by the orange color SUV car in the right row. The car instantly dazzled her because of its beautiful bright color among the surrounding dark color stacks. The porsche-branded car looks sleek and sporty. Very elegant indeed.
"You like her?" ask Anna.
"Yes, it suits my taste. Ma, I want this one. Please, yeah!"
Anna grinned to see her daughter like a child who suddenly struggled with an item.
"Actually your dad bought this car for you, I'm glad you like it."
"Really!"
"Yes, this plan is a gift for you when you go to college."
"Oh, that time, yeah!"
"Yes, but you said that you don't need a car. You don't know how disappointed your father was at the time. If he were to see you now that was so enthusiastic, he would definitely be very happy."
"Yes, how else, I did not need a car because there was Dima who was always ready to drive me. Now I need a car because I have to help Paula. With Paula's hand condition like that for a while I have to be the driver for her."
"Can you drive?" asked Anna in a slightly soft tone. He knew his daughter could not drive.
"Of course I can!" sahut Angel's.
"really? hasn't papa ever taught you?"
"It wasn't my father who taught me but Dima."
"Five?" ask Angel not to believe it.
"Yep, I wrecked the car too the first time I tried it ... "
"You?" Anna was made to not believe her daughter. "Why didn't you tell Mom. At least we should replace the damage."
“Dima said no need because he said he would change a new car."
"But still ... " Anna could only shake her head. He knew the Dima family was very rich. But still. It doesn't make sense. Even the Dima family's used car is worth a new car.
"Hm, actually if I can be honest, from childhood until now I have always helped Dima," said Angel.
"Want to?"
Angel looked at her mother with a sad face. "Maybe that's what makes me feel like I don't fit in with her."
"What is less than Dima?" anna asked not to understand her daughter's thoughts.
Angel took a breath. To be honest, his mother's explanation last night was also a warning that he should not hurt Dima, making him start to doubt his feelings. And that changed his decision about the direction of his relationship with Dima. So he decided not to move forward. Better they stay like this. Dima was also away from him.
"That's because Dima is too flawless perfect. I wouldn't be able to grow with him. If we were together, it wouldn't make me better because he always covered up my flaws. He always gives and I can't repay him because he doesn't need anything from me."
"How did you know? It's just your assumptions. You've never tried to really be with her, have you?"
Angel doesn't know. He wanted to meet Dima to clarify the misunderstanding last night but he couldn't even call the number back. He surrendered.
"I've given up."
"What?" ask Anna again. He doesn't understand what it means.
"Ma, can I try the car?" ask Angel. He tried to change the topic. "Do you know where the contact is?"
"Yes, mama knows where the contact is but it looks like we have to wait for your papa for that. I'm not sure if you can drive. Do you have a sim?"
"Of course I have. And I can drive very well. Come on, Ma," said Angel sulking. Although today he skipped college but he had to visit Paula in the hospital.
Anna sighed. He was slightly affected because he had not seen his daughter sulking for a long time. "Well wait here. Mama's gonna call your dad for permission."
"Great, new car!"
