Daughter of the Widower: The Single Daddy'S Daughter
#10 Stories Before Bed
“Ai Achi ai dda ebah i bua an i ampi hon man’ena oo~” my hand pointed me out the window.
Rasyi saw a bee in the flower next to the mango tree loh~
“Ettu ali ebahna gi, e dah lan! Unki he iki Achi ellalu ennis certainly ienat. Ato unki it ellalu uut, elna Achi lip Ppa. Pappa an enaut’an.”
Time to find the bee again, uh it's gone! Maybe he thought Rasyi was too sweet to sting. Or maybe he was too scared, because Rasyi looks like papa. Papa is scary~
“Eeu, Bbi sure ellat-ellat! E nnatta, ebahna dda i etat bbi. Achi eu antu~ api Achi ga ettut. Di, Achi am ejja. E. Achi lah iba’a suk. Achi an eccan~”
Keep going, Auntie maid screaming! Uh apparently, the bee's near aunt. Rasyi wants to help~ but Rasyi is also afraid. Rasyi is silent. Uh. Rasyi was brought in. Rasyi is bored~
Sounded papa's little laugh, “you said what the hell?”
I'm confat~ You should know how bored this little princess of yours is. You won't let me out of the house one bit. So let your son rattle on your lap.
“It's past bedtime.” his words clearly want to expel me.
I shook my head, “Nda u!!” Not want!!
Face's pecked. His calm eyes were watching my face. It was as if he was racking his brain to keep me away from him who was busy at work.
Pa~ Papa is overworked. And again, what is papa doing anyway? Doctors should take care of people, not sit still at your desk! Break there! I accompany nih~
“Ebbo emma Ppa!” Bobo is papa!
Eyebrows raised, “Sleep with papa?”
“Ya!” reply spirit.
Bended elbow stuck his face with me, “Why should papa?”
Duh pa~ I'm trying good with you! He was told to rest, not to. It's a form of appreciating our ‘saling keep’ agreement. If you die of exhaustion how? I don't have a backup ‘pap’.
“Achi anyaen pappa!” Rasyi dear papa...?
His pitch-black eyes seemed to have a story of their own. Not tired I said that I could not guess what was on his mind. Very close and far at once.
Her hand gently stroked my hair that began to lengthen. Playing the ends of my hair. A glint in his eyes.
Straight closed his sharp eyes. There was a slight feeling at the end of the curve of my brain which meant that he wanted to erase the flash. What do you want to hide?
“Pappa?” call me to bluff his daydream. He looked back at me, “Ppa, ebbo.”
She was silent for a moment, “ayo.”
Rizki picked me up and walked through the bookshelves. Rizki turned off her room lights and passed through the door. The plants that were bordered by the glass walls in the corridor became my view behind Rizki's back.
The quiet kitchen led us to a staircase of two adults. At the end. The spacious living room showed the door of my bedroom in a bright blue.
The one-man sofa at the other end became our stopover. Rizki holding me made my back stick to her strong chest. The pile of fairy tale books that a maid aunt had just bought could definitely make me sleep well.
“Which one you?”
Can I choose this? “Ichu!” I pointed at a book.
I was curious about the book. All this time the book was always there. No one ever read it. Probably because of its large and thick size.
“Pappa!” call me.
Touch that forehead. Why anyway? Dizziness? Do you know that no one can read your mind? Stop daydreaming and make me feel like a fool!
Finally he took out the book. From the cake. Iish!
Wow~! The cover of the book is gorgeous~ Palace which is really like a painting of the expert. Rizki opened the book. Aaa! The pop-ups! It was as if a real Castle stood three-dimensional in it as the book opened. Beautiful~
A few lines beside him, “PPa! Ecca!” Papa! Read it!
He smiled faintly, “in a faraway land, there lived a wise handsome king. He lives in a beautiful palace with the Queen and the Prince. People in the country love them so much.”
Sheet behind. New pop-ups. There's a painting of a beautiful woman there. I don't know whose face is on the pop-up version of that simple painting, but I'm really fascinated.
“The Queen craves a princess. Every day he prayed to get it. One night, the Queen meets a little fairy. ‘I listened to your complaint, your majesty. I can help you.’ said the fairy.”
The next sheet looks like a little elf complete with wings and a glowing stick. It flew beside the beautiful golden flower.
“The girl conjured a beautiful flower in the hands of the Queen. ‘Treat and love this flower, then she will grant your wish.’ explained the fairy. ‘But Remember. This flower will take everything you love if you do not love it.’ added the fairy.”
Taking everything that is dear? If I were that queen, I would have rejected her.
New sheet visible. Showing a lot of people having fun.
“The queen brought the flower and took care of it. Take the day that is awaited. The Queen is pregnant with a princess. The people of the country welcomed him with joy.”
Rizki opens the next sheet. Wah~ Who's that handsome brother? Which makes this really good at painting. I could feel the presence of that handsome brother right in front of me.
“Everyone gave an amazing gift to Princess. The prince did not want to lose. ‘Dad, mom. Let me go to the southernmost tip of the country to get a beautiful gem for my sister.’ said the Prince. The King and Queen allowed it. Depart the Prince to the south end of the country.”
Oho! So he's a prince! Worth handsome once~ Then? What next?
Open a new sheet and look like a pretty horse.
“Bad news. The prince had an accident on his way. Country saddened at losing their only prince.”
He's dead! Tidaaak~! Though we just met~
The new sheet opens and looks to the Queen talking to her servant.
“The queen locked herself in her room. Saddened by the passing of his son. ‘Bunganya!’ The queen realized her golden flowers were no longer in her room.—”
Aaaa!! You are the mastermind! Because of you, my handsome prince who just appeared one panel instantly died!
“—‘I already threw it away, Your Honor. The flower is dry and dead.’ A servant explained it. ‘How is it, he will take everything I love.’ grumbled Queen.”
Huh! Your own fault! No becus!
The new sheet opened and saw many people attacking each other.
“The Queen's concerns are correct. Kingdom attacked! Slowly the King managed to strike back at them. But unfortunately, the Queen is seriously injured.”
Duh! It's on its own! This queen can't do anything!
New sheet—loh? Empty? Where's next? I looked at Rizki. I'm appalled. His eyes were softly reflecting a deep sadness. His face was always so limp but I knew very well that his eyes were about to cry.
