Because I'M Father
Vio and the Beautiful Police
I sat by the road in a daze. My gaze blankly stared at the black road ahead. As if they had no life. I know how to breathe, but I don't know how to live. I blamed myself all day, every step I blabbed was not careless, until I ended up on this path. It was late, but I didn't find Vio either.
I'm standing around walking gontai. At first I wanted to go to the police station, but I was afraid the Police refused my report again like that, waiting for another 24 hours, now I feel that I am not sane anymore.
"I have to go to the police station! I can't be like this! If the police won't help me, I'll just cry .. I've got to get there."
I drove my car, parked it in front of the police station. I took a deep breath, preparing for war with the Police inside.
"What can I help you with?" ask one of the police.
"My son has been missing since morning, I've been looking for him, and please don't tell me to wait 24 hours. I'm frustrated" I said, begging like a newly-captured woman.
"How is your son's character, sir?" tanyakanya.
"He's handsome like me, two and a half years old, white like chalk, wearing a black checkered shirt. Are you gonna help me?" I asked half to beg.
"We'll try, but it looks like we'll have to wait until"
"HEY! CAN'T YOU SAY 24 HOURS?" yells irritated.
"Then wait until this day is over" he repeated. But still the same.
"Waiting is so annoying!"
I took my breath, and then I knelt. If it wasn't for Vio, I wouldn't have done this.
"I beg you! Help me, my son go to the hospital, his legs must be bandaged .. And I lost track of my son, I'm so frustrated, do you have the heart to let someone as handsome as me be a lunatic?" I pleaded and knelt.
"How many children are there? Until something goes missing and in the hospital?" asked the man in wonder.
"My son is a dozen!" ketusku upset.
"Hey how about we have a drink?" the police whispered.
"You think I can relax? What's the point of you being here?" my shouts made a stir again. I have no patience now, I grabbed his collar and invited many police officers who approached us.
"Open up to work, you're taking me for a drink. You really-"
"FATHER!" shouted a small child with a shrill voice. I looked at the owner of the voice. I looked from toe to head, it seemed upside down, I saw him from head to toe, he was still as cute as he was in the morning.
"VIO!" I immediately hugged him.
"Where have you been? Can't just one day not disappear?" I said still hugging him.
"Papa you stink so much, matahali" he said, making me snort.
"It's all because of you. I've been looking for you all day?" I said to sing my lips.
"Sok cute!" vio's taunts made me stare.
"Papa, I was brought here by a beautiful cop" Vio told me, I turned to the person Vio was referring to. My eyes are round, she's so pretty - even the police uniform makes her so pretty.
"Sister Alden? So he's your son?" ask Alisya. Yeah, she's Alisya, the girl on the beach who helped me find both of my monsters back then.
"Yes, so you work here?" tanyaku.
"Yes," he answered smiling softly.
"Thank you, you saved my son" I said sincerely.
"This is my job. After all Vio is very funny like you," he said tickling Vio's chin.
Hey I want to too.
Plaque.
"Emm .. I'm sorry, I've made a noise here," I bowed to all the police.
"Make a fuss, just" said one as he passed me.
Superfluity.
"Let's go home, you've made trouble today. Brother Zio is in the hospital" I told Vio.
"Really?" said Vio cupping his face in shock.
"Yeah" I replied lazily. "Come on!" I took my son's hand.
"Can I come?" alisya asked me surprised.
"Alright," I replied, Vio immediately grabbed the girl's hand.
"Your hands are very warm, I won't be cold" Vio said, sounding like a fight.
Why are all my kids so grown-up? Is this a reverse world?
"Really?" ask Alisya chuckled.
"I don't think you'd be prettier if you wore a uniform like this" I said as I continued walking.
"Thank you" she replied embarrassedly. She was a very gentle girl, it seemed like she was also a brave and tough girl.
We also went straight to the hospital. I don't know how Zio is, even though Shelin says Zio's just sprained. But it still worries me a lot. Especially when Shelin says bandaged, it makes me more anxious.
We went straight to Zio's nursery, holding Vio who was asleep in the car. It feels so awkward that if Vio doesn't help me open up the conversation, it seems like the kid is more good at chatting with girls than me, I feel so silly.
Now I went into Zio's room with Alisya. I saw that Shelin had fallen asleep with Nio sleeping on her stomach.
"They are all my children" I said slowly, fearing that they would wake up those who were already asleep. I put Vio to bed on the sofa, and I approached Zio who was in bed.
Her bandaged feet made me feel guilty. It must have hurt a lot, especially when I heard her crying in pain in the building, and everyone just watched it, it hurt me so much. My heart is my heart.
"Is she your wife? He is older than you" asked Alisya doubtfully.
"No, he's my brother. He's old, indeed" I'm slow.
"Ah, I think she's your wife, then where's your wife?" alisya asked, she told me about my life, huh?
"My wife is dead" I replied with a bitter smile.
I see she feels so bad.
"Sorry, I don't-"
"What's wrong, I'm used to it" I said cut.
"You're so great. Taking care of your twins alone. You deserve to be that angry at the police station" he said, but the last sentence embarrassed me.
What I did at the police station was so embarrassing, I acted like a tarzan who didn't know how to behave.
"It's nice to know someone like you," he continued, praising me too much, now my hair is standing up all because of it.
"Houmh." I saw the writhing Shelin.
OH, MY GOD, he's awake! How'this? He'll know I brought a girl! Nah! Alisya is a cop.
"HEY! ALDEN'S! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" he said he approached me like a bull, Shelin immediately grabbed me.
"You go anywhere stupid! I almost died here!" he said that loud.
"Let go! You don't see who?" my words and Shelin immediately smiled stiffly when they saw that there was a stranger here.
"Hello Kak," said Alisya bowed.
"Yes, hello too." Shelin bowed.
"How did he get here, Al?" shelin whispered.
"He found Vio" I replied and Shelin smiled at Alisya.
"thank you. Sorry to bother you," said Shelin bowed.
"No, my brother, this is my duty. I'm happy to be able to help the children" replied Alisya gently, looking very different from the thug-like Shelin.
Alisya looked so classy with just her smile, when she saw Alisya like looking at an angel made me smile. When you look at Shelin, it tastes so sour, like eating a young mango.
"Then excuse me to go home, it's already night" Alisya said farewell.
"Hey, take her," Shelin said, kicking my ass.
"Yes, yes" I said, then I brought Alisya.
"No need to be escorted home, I still have business. Take good care of your son. See you," he said, leaving.
"Yes" I answered daydreaming to see him go.
Today was really tiring, even so - I'm relieved Vio is fine. While Zio has to be treated for my carelessness. I hope this is the last time it happens, and the police are pretty - why I like it a little, not because I forget my wife, but not hypocritical - her caring attitude makes it hard to fall in love.
