Because I'M Father

Because I'M Father
Unbelievingly


The second experiment, I engaged my parents to take care of the schools of Nio, Zio and Vio. I didn't want it to happen again, so I let them go to school with Papa and my mom.


I daydreamed at the stop after driving them to school. Do I really mean nothing in this world? Not even the devil wants to possess me.


"Alden?" I looked up when someone called me.


Upon seeing his face, I stood up straight, scratched my head, lowered my head, and longed to escape.


"How are you?" That question is like a bomb to me.


I'm not ready to meet him. Really, not ready.


"What are you doing here alone?" ask again because I don't get an answer.


"A–aku is sitting around," I replied. This body can't even stand still, like a hot worm.


"How are you? Long time no see." I asked, finally being able to control the snake within me.


"I'm good. What about your three monsters? I miss them" she said with a smile.


"They went to school today, with their grandmother, their grandfather" I said. My hands can't stand still, so I put them in my pants pocket, afraid they're going wild everywhere.


We also sat at a quiet stop. Today Alisya is wearing her uniform, she must be on duty.


"That day, we rarely met. Are you so busy?" tanyanya glanced at.


Ah, he makes me feel guilty. I thought he'd hate me after that day.


Does he think I'm staying away?


"I rarely go out of the house." Alisya just nodded in understanding.


We were quiet for a few minutes. It was as if we did not want to discuss the matter that day. We assume that didn't happen.


"You remember .. that night you ran as fast as a tuyul, and I called you. Are you afraid of ghosts?" alisya asked, reminding me of the night after meeting friends.


I suddenly laughed, making him laugh. "I'm not afraid, I'm just surprised."


My alibi is so tacky.


"Are you going to run again if you see a ghost?" Alisya's question got me thinking about getting a cool answer. At least it shouldn't look bad.


"Of course not" I replied a little arrogantly.


"really?" Alisya looked in disbelief.


I just don't believe in myself.


"I really won't run away. At least just fainted." Hearing my answer he was wide-eyed, drowning his eyes.


It was good to make him laugh. Even though my pride is falling. Which crazy person can do something like me? I am a man who is not missed.


"Then, why did you run away that time?" Alisya looked astonished, regretting that I chose to run.


"Sometimes, what we're planning isn't necessarily done. And reality is more powerful than wishful thinking" I answered. Suddenly makes amused. The fur of my jacket to stand up so shocked.


"It's good to know you, brother. Thank you for letting me be close to your son" he said suddenly.


I was suddenly traumatized, I was afraid he'd kiss me again. The problem is I haven't brushed my teeth. Alisya looked at me, but her gaze was never long. If I love him, is that a sin? Will anyone get hurt?


"Alden?" I'm looking.


Zidan's? My history ends.


Why should this man come at a time like this. What if he complained to Mama about Alisya?


I raised my hand, giving him a 'hi' without a sound. However, Zidan's attention had turned to Alisya. The man looked at me and Alisya took turns, her face was like a horse with her lips falling down.


Really, his face fits into a chat sticker.


"It seems I'm not on time. Let's just say I'm not through here, okay?" he said, wanting me to pretend I didn't see him, and I nodded in agreement.


"I'll assume I didn't see you. Go ahead, I don't see anything" he said as it passed. Really theatrical not seeing us.


Thank you Zidan, you're the best.


••••


After meeting Alisya, I returned to the apartment. There were already both my parents and the three monsters. I miss those little monsters.


"Papa, I was making a plane with Grandpa," Vio's chattering was so frenzied.


"Well, you're the best" I'm so happy.


I feel so relieved to hear it. They enjoyed their school today. It should be a good start for me to start something new.


"Nio, what are you doing at school?" ask her. Only the eldest who is not excited, usually always membuay hoopla together.


Nio turned to me, smiling faintly. "I made the bus" said Nio, showing me the results.


I screamed, praising what they were doing today. Just appreciating what they have done.


Since the twins were playing, I sat down with my parents. Don't forget, I made you a drink for both. Before they complained, if I tortured them in the children's home.


"Al, we have good news about Shelin" Mama said, suddenly I noticed.


"Finally, soon Shelin will get married," he continued to make me pause, then open up.


"You're heating me up, huh? I wasn't food yesterday, I didn't need to be heated up" I said still wide-eyed as I hugged the couch cushion.


However, after I laughed in satisfaction, the faces of my parents were still the same, flat. No sign of comedy.


"Aish, you can't teach lying. You said yourself that a soul mate is not a toy" I said, clucking.


"We're serious, Al. Your sister Shelin is getting married soon" Papa said, leaving me speechless for a moment.


Lagi, terkikik geli mendengarnya. Antara percaya, juga ragu tingkat Dewa neptunus. Manusia seperti Shelin tidak mungkin melakukan itu, baru kemarin dia yang mengatakannya sendiri kalau dia melajang sampai ajal.


Mama was seen pulling out her phone, giving it to me. I immediately saw, Shelin was eating with a family. My brother smiled broadly with the man beside him.


Is this my brother? Who's afraid of that little boy?


I still couldn't believe it, so I looked at the two people before me. Back giggled amusedly, though a little doubtful. My head suddenly split open in the American sky.


"You're kidding. Is this real? Shelin married?" I sniggered back because I was so unreliable.


It is like one of the seven wonders of the world.


"You guys are serious about this? Really?" I made sure, and there were no joking jokes.


Instantly I fainted after getting a nod. Completely fainted. I don't know what happened after that, which obviously my— woke up in the room with the three monsters.


I stared at the ceiling of the room after I woke up. Not expecting, that human could get married as well. I was so moved, I didn't even know how to.


"Do you believe that Aunt Shelin is getting married? You believed? No, right? Neither do I" I asked the three monsters who were busy playing their mini-car.


"If Shelin gets married, who will take care of the company? Who's gonna look after you guys if I need to? She shouldn't have married this fast."


I'd be happy if Shelin got married, but I'd also feel lost. Two sides are very difficult for me.


"You think I should get married?" I asked, and this time the three monsters looked at me sharply.


Do they know what marriage is?


Three approached me. Sit on the side, and only Zio sits on top of my stomach. His gaze was still the same, like a Vampire in a thirst for blood.


"My blood is rotting, just look for another one" I said, no response.


"Papa is ours, no one can have Papa" said Zio, the crackle prick squeezing my clothes.


"Bad brother, Papa's ours!" vio said, following his brother, Zio.


"We're playing delama, is our acting good?" tanya Nio, act like an actor. After that, they laughed.


I thought they really knew about marriage, but no, I was having too much expectations. If only they knew what marriage was. Could they be strangling me? Because marriage will make me take them off, away from them, and other harsh realities.


When are they adults?


"Do you believe that Aunt Shelin will actually get married?"


"No." Vio took a look, the boy did not believe it either.


"No, right? I also thought so," I said excitedly, because Vio had one thought with me.


"You don't believe it either, do you?" I asked Nio and Zio.


Both answered no. "True, that's impossible!" I cried, like finding the answer to a riddle.


"I don't believe that either. You are my children." I laughed happily, because this time the four of us had one answer in common. And ended up hugging the three.
