Because I'M Father

Because I'M Father
Returning young


Now, I'm wearing a white shirt being laughed at by three guys. They looked at my formal appearance. With my hair drizzled and a shirt that I just put my arm up to my elbow.


"What's wrong with wearing a kit? Anyway my face is younger than yours," I said in self-defense.


Does marriage and fatherhood make a man's soul older than his age? Just be right.


"Al, you look so old wearing that shirt. We're in a hangout, at least wearing casual clothes" said the limestone skinner, Evano laughing at me.


"True Al, it's like you want to meet the President, too" Andra added.


"Hey, but I like his appearance, because he's a Papa," Zidan said with his alien language, which he clearly said like, means he likes, chances are he's defending me.


Perhaps, Zidan understands me the most right now. Even though that guy is more ridiculous than everything here.


"True, Alden is the youngest of us, but he got married so quickly" Evano said, embracing my shoulder.


I hope he's defending me that way.


"Hey, where are your three monsters?" ask Andra who's wondering why I didn't bring the tail today.


I'm used to my twins. There's me, there's monsters. That's how it should be, we stick to each other all the time.


"Today they stayed at my mother's house, so I took the time to gather with you here" answered me who was inexplicably a little heavy.


"Hey, have fun here. Ever since you got married, you've been here a lot, so just enjoy today, Al," said Zidan, who is owned by Andra.


"True, you're so skinny after all for taking care of your monsters, aren't you?" asked Evano who was eating a snack.


"Can't you just talk about my life? I feel like I want to go home," said I, who was tired because they kept teasing me, and I felt claustrophobic.


My life is more interesting than anyone else. Everyone likes to comment on my full life.


"Alright, alright. Let's make this one of our friends enjoy today!" exclaim Zidan stood up, heading to the instrument to turn on the music.


"Come on, Al, get excited" Andra said.


"alright. LIGHT MUSIC!" I shouted and Zidan immediately turned on the music so loudly.


We were all at Andra's place, the place where we gathered and chatted. Like today, I also like dejavu—repeating a time where I was often in this place with them, singing and dancing freely without burden.


Zidan had already turned on the music, while Evano had already started abstract dancing. I was about to dance, but somehow I suddenly felt this was embarrassing for me.


"You don't wanna dance too, Al?" evano shouted in the middle of the loud music.


"I-I was like, I-I was"


"Have it, think later!" zidan said, pulling my hand up.


We immediately danced, mimicking music even though our dance was so lousy and chaotic. There is no good style, just like slamming the head it already looks cool here, when it looks like a sleepy chicken.


"Well, long time no like this! It's fun!" zidan yelled, shaking his body, while I, ah I don't know what this movement—like Avangers movement.


"Haha .. This makes me insane!" evano laughed at the results of our dance.


This is more than the crazy word.

It was night time, I walked alone on this lonely road. It feels like my burden is back after coming home from the hangout.


I deliberately didn't bring this car to look like a bum, no clear purpose, what do I want now? Surely going home, I'd rather go home and sleep than be in this dark place.


"Alden Alisano." My ears caught a subtle voice behind me, because it was night— I became thinking it was soft, dedemit, or mediocre roaming, and now I am a victim of their disturbance.


I did not dare to turn my head, as my body stiffened with my frozen brain. Want the road was heavy, like something was holding back, until a hand landed on my shoulder.


"I STILL WANT TO LIVE! Aakk!" I screamed as fast as I could, so it felt like I was flying so fast.


"PLEASE!" I kept running around looking for bright lights.


After I felt I was in a safe place and many people passed by, I stopped and turned my head, it seemed like the ghost was not chasing me.


With a breath of breath— I sat in a roadside chair. I breathed in the fresh air that had been lost because of my fear. I saw from a distance someone running and coming towards me, he was Alisya.


"Alisya, what's wrong? Why are you running? Is anyone chasing you? Are there criminals chasing you?" manyu.


"I should have asked, why did you run earlier?" ask the girl with unordered breath.


Waitaminute! He knew I was running?


"I ran because there was a ghost. He patted me on the shoulder" I replied explaining.


"That's me, brother," he said half annoyed. His face looks ugly.


"So you ran because you were scared? I think what's up," snorted this beautiful cop.


"Ah, really? I thought it was a ghost, hehe," I replied shyly scratching my nape.


How can I run away in a storm just because it was patted by the police. Stupidly you are Al, I should have just turned my head to run. Yeah, at least I don't look as silly as I am right now. My self-esteem dropped in the market.


"Where are you from?" I just noticed that he wasn't wearing a uniform.


"I just got home from a dinner with a friend. You you?" askalanya.


"I just got together with my friends, too" I replied and he was looking for something.


"Where's your tail?" asking him confused me.


"Tails? I'm not a fox," my laughter crispy.


"I mean .. your son you called a little monster," he repeated.


Ah right, they are my tails.


"Ah, they are staying at her grandmother's house" I replied after loading earlier.


We also talked in slow steps. There was nothing we could talk about, other than shame in me.


"Hey, next time can I play at your house? I want to play with your three monsters" asked Alisya with a smile that never faded charm.


"Emm, okay, but doesn't it matter?" ambiguous ask.


Actually my point is, the problem for me—if Mama knew would definitely consider Alisya my girlfriend, it would be even more complicated—because I have decided not to remarry before the three monsters grow up and understand the circumstances. I don't want to share my love later.


"Of course not, I really like kids. Send your home address, yes, see you, "he said goodbye.


He doesn't even want to understand my situation, it'll be complicated later.


Realize Alden, this is just a girl going home, not a family-in-law. It's better I get to the apartment quickly, than having to meet a ghost again later.


I set my foot in the apartment that was already quiet, it seemed like all the residents had slept, I immediately laid myself on the sofa after arriving.


I saw my house so quiet— quietly without the cry or cry of the little monsters. It feels like this alone. This is the reason I can't live without them, because in fact humans can't beat loneliness.


I saw toys neatly arranged in cardboard boxes, little shoes on the shelf, all the stuff the monsters make me miss them, but there was not a day I was without them. I feel so alone because I'm used to them.


Usually they will bother me, fight, scream, sing or cry. Their voices really want me to hear.


Conscious Alden! They didn't leave you, they were just staying at her grandmother's.


Why am I so pathetic without them—it feels so lonely, like there is no purpose in life. What happens if they really leave? Married or working when you grow up? Of course I'm getting married, where maybe I'll be a weathered widower for life.


I took off the monster's pants that were strewn about. My house is like an old, uninhabited warehouse, however I have to clean it up, afraid that Alisya will come and my house will be like a garbage dump.


Suddenly my phone rang, I saw Mama calling me.


"Hello."


"Father!" Is that the sound, and is this Vio or Zio or Nio? This is the voice I am missing.


"Oh, are you still alive Vio?" kataku chuckles.


"Father! I'm Zio!" the screams don't take it.


"Ah yes, yes Zio," I repeated and hit my own head.


"Papa."


"Papa." The voices of the three monsters were so noisy.


"Yes." Yeah."


"I missed you!" he screamed so hard that I had to keep my phone away from my ears.


"Yes, I miss you too" I said with great relief.


"You're not cheating, are you?" ask one of them.


"Of course not, I'm lonely without you guys" I said half sulked.


"Me too, so don't cheat, or I'll kill you Papa!" she could not speak softly, and I heard the frustrated voices of Shelin and Mama.


"I'm not cheating, so hurry home."


"Yes, Papa" he answered.


"Our father will play blunt."


"Our father wants to play the pelang!"


"No, aren't we going to play ball?"


"No, it'll be a germ!"


I heard the chatter of those who were fighting over the phone, now I realize the word— is used to being so hard to leave, a day without them makes me like crazy.


"Hey, play around, Grandma wants to talk to your Papa." I heard Mama took her phone.


"Alden, you didn't forget to eat, did you? Don't sleep at night, just calm down I can still take care of your son. Don't worry" the middle-aged woman said.


"Yes Ma, I'm eating well, don't worry about me, but you'll return my son tomorrow, won't you?" I asked who could not fill my day without the little monsters.


"Yes, tomorrow I will take them," said Mama half unwillingly.


"Thank you, Ma."


"Sleep quickly! I turned the phone off."


Tut tut tut tut


The woman turned off her phone, although it was relieved it was still quiet again. I can't imagine my life without them, it would probably be so hollow more than now. Life and time can never be guessed. If you can guess for sure I've got a fan gift or a new refrigerator. Right no?
