“Darren curious, Om.” Darren looked at Eiden straight. “Actually mommy Emily's birthplace to where, anyway?”
Silence hit. Eiden. Not much different from both parents.
Knowing if he misspoke, Darren put a spoon on the plate. His hand moved rubbing his nape, he was awkwardly half dead. “Sorry, Darren misspoke, yes.”
Eiden hurriedly corrected his facial expression. The man tried to act ordinary. “Om don't know ‘dia’ where.”
‘Dia’ that Eiden means is Emily's biological mommy. Obviously he lied. Eiden always watched over his ex-wife.
Not because of attention and do not want bad events to happen to the woman. Eiden just wants to make sure his ex-wife is away from Indonesia, away from her family.
“Om is not talented as an actor. Very careful if again a lie,” taunted Darren. He bribed a spoonful of food into his mouth and chewed quickly. “Om says don't know, but Om's eyes say Om tau.”
Eiden. He looked at Darren with squinting eyes. Don't tell me this brat can—
“Iya, Darren can dare to mind Om through the same eyes expression,” said Darren with a relaxed look. “Mami trained herself,” she added.
Damnit damnit! Eiden did not think. Why did Kyra teach Darren such things? The child in front of him was still too small to understand adult affairs.
“Darren was, really, kidnapped, Om,” cetus Darren made the three adults around him surprised. In fact, some of the servants who were secretly eavesdropping almost screeched as they noticed Darren's overly relaxed countenance. It was as if kidnapping was a common thing.
“Mami is a famous person. Darren is often targeted because of that.” He folded his hands. “Because this is also Mami learning to fight in order to protect Darren. Especially Darren, right, doesn't have papi.”
Ah, ja. Cavan, Abigail, and Eiden remember that Kyra is a famous designer. That woman must have been the object of many people's self-worth.
“Darren does not want to be a crybaby who can only cry, Om. So, Darren has to be strong as well. If Darren can not help mami against criminals, Darren will not be a burden by whining.”
Eiden. He knows Darren hasn't finished talking.
“Mami said, Darren should be able to take advantage of the situation. You need to calm down and think fast. You have to be brave and not be afraid of anything. Hence, Darren relax aja.” He drank the water available. “So, do not be surprised if children as small as Darren already can do kayak thing earlier. Om's part of the world is much more dangerous, right?”
Eiden was suddenly on alert. What does Darren's last sentence mean? His world?
“Face Om, really, really tense? I mean Darren, right, the business world. Said mami, the business world many people like nipu,” explained Darren. Eiden nodded while breathing in silent relief.
“Eh, that's not what Darren said.” Darren patted his head slowly. “This is about Emily.”
“Emily why?”
“That attitude, you know. Om not aware?” Darren tilted his head.
Eiden nodded. “Iya, Om tau. I'm sorry Emily took your mom's attention.”
Darren clucking. “Not that, Om, the point. Jeez..”
Eiden's forehead frowned. “Terus?”
“Emily was lacking in affection, which is why she was like that. Like the same mommy who clearly has no relationship with him.” Darren pursed his lips. “Om know what the difference Darren with Emily?”
Darren must be a boy and Emily a girl, anyway.
That's what Cavan and Eiden think. Not wrong, right? Abigail knew Darren's question wasn't that simple.
“Darren doesn't have papi, but Darren never lacks affection. Because no matter how busy your mom is, you always prioritize Darren no matter what. But, like here Emily does not get the same thing from Om.”
Seeing the complicated expression on Eiden's face, Darren continued, “Om same mommy Emily's birth split up because of mutual desire, right?”
Eiden jerks.
“Om, if you make a decision it means Om is ready to take the risk as well. Because Om chose to separate, it means Om must be ready to be mommy and daddy for Emily. I understand, I mean Darren?” How did the boy become upset by himself because the man in front of him looked clueless.
This time, Eiden was getting jolted. Didn't expect Darren to say such a thing. Things that adults usually say.
“Blessy boy it's simple, really. His parents are always there and attentive, that's enough. If Emily gave Emily a lot of attention, Emily would not behave like that. Trying to attract the attention of strangers until very sticky,” added Darren relaxed without knowing the sentences successfully hit Eiden.
It hit Eiden's heart. The man realized that all this time his daughter was not a top priority. Sometimes Eiden puts his job ahead of Emily on several occasions. Something that he thought was trivial, turned out to have a big impact on his daughter.
“Darren understands, really, Om it's busy. Go there, come here, make some money for Emily. But, make a kid like Emily, not the money she wants. But, his daddy who sat at the side while studying together, playing together, kept joking together.” Darren smilingly looked at the plate before him blankly. His stomach is full now.
Uh, but Darren's not sure, anyway, if Om Eiden can be invited to joke.
Darren looked at Eiden warmly with a gentle smile—one of the most powerful ways the mother gives advice. “Luangin a few minutes to play together will not make Om company bankrupt, right?” tanyanya.
Eiden really didn't expect the 6-year-old to be advising him to be a good daddy. But, the man would not deny. Darren's advice is all true.
Eiden nodded slowly. “Om work on,” reply.
“Hm, hm.” Darren was bearded with a proud look. “Adults do not look at age. Huhoo.. Darren smart boy.” His hand moved rubbing his own head.
Eiden until heckled. Darren's actions make it very clear that the little man is proud of himself. But, yes, anyway.
“Ya, Darren smart once.” Abigail hugged Darren. Darren's words were successful in shaking his heart. In fact, she alone who was Eiden's mother never gave such advice. Ah, how proud he would be if Darren were to be his grandson.
“Aduh, Darren is very happy to be hugged. Especially the same beautiful-beautiful.” Darren stole a kiss on Abigail's cheek. The middle-aged woman laughed with Darren.
Cavan glanced at the cynical Darren. It's good that she kisses my wife!
“Excuse me, Mistress, Mr.” A servant came with his head lowered. “Nona Kyra and little lady are already sleeping in the little miss's room.”
Cavan. He told the waiter to leave.
“Means Darren is here, yes?” Abigail gladly agreed. “Darren tired, want to sleep, Oma.”
“Oh, Oma's grandson sleepy, huh? Okay, we're sleeping, honey.” Abigail is getting ready to take Darren to the room. However, unfortunately, Cavan first pulled his wife's waist until it fell into the deckapan.
“I'm also sleepy, honey. Let's take a break.”
Darren rolled his eyes lazily. “Possessive grandfather!”
“Heh!” Cavan glared in annoyance.
Darren smiled mockingly as Abigail patted the man's arm to defend him. Ah, it seems like Darren's presence will really change the atmosphere of the mansion.
“Oma rest aja. Big baby Oma needs a warm hug,” the lead. Cavan until red. Had Darren been a grown man, he would have invited him to a duel since then.
In the end, Abigail was forcefully brought into the room by Cavan. The middle-aged man did not want his favorite wife to spoil Darren more.
“Let Om the inter.” Eiden grabbed Darren's hand, taking him along. Eiden even slowed down his foot so he could match Darren's tiny foot swing.
Arriving in a room, Darren frowned. He searched the entire room that was more than Emily's room. Why does Darren feel bad, huh?
“The guest room cannot be made because it has not been cleaned. So, you sleep here.”
“OK. By the way room Om where?”
“This room Om.”
“Lho?” Darren suddenly blank.
“We sleep together.”
What's?!
