After the canticles of peace were chanted together. Marvin felt the peace in his soul.
Although he is not a follower of the religion believed by the child. But everywhere prayer always reconciles the heart of anyone who listens.
Because in any belief, prayer is the inner savior of unrest and wild thoughts.
When all is done, and the congregation has come out. Marvin and Edgar moved backwards. Because Edgar precedes the one sitting in front first.
"Edgar."
A Romo approached Edgar, and Edgar turned his head with a smile.
"Yes Romo." he said later.
"This...?" The Father looked towards Marvin.
"It's..."
Edgar wanted to answer. But he remembered if Marvin ever said, that he had to call Marvin by name. When they are in public.
But Edgar also hesitated to mention the name of the father without any words behind him. Because it seems like a brash impression. While almost everyone knows that Edgar has been living with his biological father.
"I'm his father, Edgar."
Marvin immediately introduced himself. Edgar himself was shocked and did not expect Marvin to admit it. Before long Marvin and Romo were seen shaking hands.
"You're healthy, right?" romo asked Edgar, after he made small talk with Marvin. Edgar nodded too.
"I'm trying, Father" he replied later.
"Believe God will not let us and the best consolation is God's love" Romo replied again.
Edgar nodded, then they continued to talk a little and then said goodbye. Marvin and his son are now walking out.
"Pa's."
"Hmm?"
"Father, if you're tired, go home. I'll wait for Edgar last night, too."
"Where else are you going?" ask Marvin astonished.
"You go to the orphanage next door. Edgar hadn't been there for a long time, the last two months was with Edward."
Marvin watched his son. Edgar was 180 degrees in the opposite direction.
"Yes, yeah. Papa come along." said the man.
"Well, is it okay to see a child?" ask Edgar.
"Yes..." Marvin kind of paused on his words. But then he went back on.
"Nothing" said the man, full of doubt. Edgar stopped his steps and looked at his father.
"Related?" ask her again.
"Related." answered Marvin.
"Don't you not like kids?"
Edgar walked again, and so did his father.
"Who said?" Marvin asked back.
"When Edgar first arrived at the papa house, papa refused Edgar's arrival right?"
"Who said?" Marvin asked a question again.
"Edgar's people heard from below."
"Emang sounds?"
"Sounds, papa's voice is that. Papa says Edgar lied and cheated papa, there's no way you've got kids."
Marvin let out a long sigh, he could no longer pucker up this time. Because it's all true.
"Well, that's because papa was shocked. The proof is you papa told me to stay with papa now."
"Papa was forced because there was already a DNA test result, right?"
"Edgar, stop trying to find papa about this. It's not a matter that should be extended."
Marvin said as he stopped his steps. Edgar stopped, but did not look at his father. But then he kept quiet and continued the journey until he got to the orphanage next door.
A child shouted and rushed over to Edgar. A few seconds later, many other children were running towards him. Marvin himself was shocked and a little panicked, because he did not really like children.
"Sister, koq's new brother here. We miss brother."
Edgar hugged them and took one of the smallest, then carried it.
"So, I miss you all" replied Edgar.
Marvin tried to take a breath, because in a sense of panic. Panic looks at the hordes of children who are now in front of his eyes.
"Hey, kids."
A woman heard her voice from the front. Marvin looked in that direction, and at once time seemed to stop.
Marvin seemed to freeze his soul and body when he saw a beautiful face and a sweet smile, which was wrapped in the Lord's servant's dress.
"Hi Edgar."
The beautiful woman approached. Marvin's body was trembling with a beating heart.
"Edgar, this...?"
The woman looked at Marvin who was still glued in silence. Edgar could see the change in behavior of his father. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't.
Given his relationship with Marvin today, it still feels blocked by a high enough wall. He wasn't so flexible to be able to joke with the man. Everything still feels a little stiff.
"It's my papa, sister." replied Edgar later.
"Pa, this is Sister Cecilia Bernadette. Or we used to call Sister Bernadette" Edgar said.
Sister Bernadette smiled. While Marvin is still like a hypnotized person.
"Pa's."
Edgar breaks Marvin's daydream.
"Eh, oh, yes."
Marvin tried to act cool again as usual, but his hands were clearly trembling with Edgar's eyes.
"What did Edgar bring us?"
One of the orphanage children asked Edgar, who was later reprimanded by sister Bernadette.
"Eh, it can't be so Cindy" he said later.
"It should be with Edgar's brother here, we should all have fun" he said again.
Edgar smiled.
"For energy, brother Edgar bring a lot of food for you. But it's not there yet, how many more minutes." replied Edgar.
Marvin glanced at the child. He was confused when Edgar ordered all that and he used whose money.
"Let's go inside" sister Bernadette said after thanking her for what Edgar had reported.
So they stepped in and Marvin followed. Upon arrival inside, Marvin is at the other children's cherubim. Someone hugged him from behind and asked for a seat. At that time they were in the room of babies and toddlers.
If it wasn't for Edgar, Marvin would've been out. Because there are some babies who cry and make Marvin want to break his eardrum. She had never cared for Edgar since infancy, so she had no idea how to deal with any of that.
But the presence of Sister Bernadette also plays an important role to reconcile Marvin's chaotic soul. I don't know why there is a strange feeling in the man's mind.
If all this time he sees women as the object of his plus-pluses mind. I don't know why this one makes him feel embarrassed and dirty for all his actions so far.
"Edgar, Marvin's still looking after you, right?"
Dean makes sure that Edgar is still okay and taken care of by his father. He sent a short message via WhatsApp to the teenager.
"Still koq, om. Edgar was equally poor at the orphanage." replied Edgar.
Dean's shocked.
"Want the Junaedi to go there?" ask her later.
"Try on you photoin!" ask the doctor.
Edgar then took a photo of Marvin who is currently holding the children secretly. Then he sent it to Dean
Dean laughed and saw it all, but he was happy. He also forwarded the photo and sent it to Igor.
