Daughter of the Widower: The Single Daddy'S Daughter
#13 Getting Closer Again
I quickly climbed into the stacked twin bed. The bed below became my footing to the bed above him. I had to quickly pretend to be asleep again.
The gossiping voice of the two aunts sounded loud. They want to clean my room. I really hope my hiding place is enough to trick them both.
“Mr Rizki is back in three days, right?”
“Iya. Why the hell are you asking?”
“I'm scared. Sir was acting weird because of the phone the other day. What if the one who called the bad guy?”
“Already. Don't think weird.”
I feel that way too. Rizki's frightened face at that time was very telling that the one who called her was the person Rizki avoided. As far as I know, Rizki just avoided ‘they’.
“That's weird, know!” the sound of equipment banged, “time job acceptance as well, he said no stranger should know if this is his house. Master invites new people only for the birthday of the lady only.”
My birthday was that time...?
“It was also his friends Mr. Hendra. Police all!” uh huh? How can?! “we never meet your friends, neighbors only not invited.”
“Hus! It's already! Later miss wake.”
Surprised in the middle of the drama of the sleeping princess is indeed very difficult. Who would have guessed that Rizki maintained this safe place so strictly. He did all this to keep me away from anyone. Very big effort.
The sound of the closed door I had been waiting for since finally sang through my ear hole. Yup! They're goin. I rushed down the bed, making sure the folds of paper I had secured were still there.
There are! Thank goodness they didn't touch him. Sure oes. I accidentally put it in the middle of my mom's book page. Hardly anyone touched it.
My hand pulled the paper back open it. It looks like a real photo of violence. The face of a man tied up in wounds is very familiar to me. My mother beat a lot of people.
Was that one of those photos? If it is as hard as it seems, Rizki made a good decision to hide the reality. But I also have a right to reality. Another problem, do I have a chance?

Light brown furniture becomes a combination that feels beautiful and soothing. Convenient for the middle space to remove saturated. Always successful to make my mind can run smoothly turn what I need to walk around in circles.
Who is being quoted? I've been stumbling. Where will I take my problems this time?
“Nona? What's up?” ask the maid's aunt beside me.
Another aunt approached, “from the time you left, miss always limp.”
Yep. It's because papa won't open up to me. If papa opens up a little bit, I won't be this loud.
Rasyi small~ You are small! Of course Rizki, whose brain is watered down, won't tell it to a big new baby. Showing the point alone still have to guess first because of vocabulary limitations.
Really am! Why should I spend three more years just on my own confusion? Comeon! This is my life, right?! You must give up my life for me! It's not like taking her away and hanging her away until I finally can't see her!
“Maybe miss bored.”
“If miss is bored, she must have thrown her toy.”
Heh. Funny, but that's what I'm gonna do. You're lucky that's not my problem now.
“What does miss hurt?!”
He directly stuck his palm on my forehead, “not hot.”
Don't bother me! You're not just babysitters, you're also house assistants. Isn't your job a lot?! Go there! Just finish your work and leave me alone!
“Master anyway, forbid out of the house. Back garden is not a danger.”
Yes, I know~ I can't blame his carefree attitude. That's how he's responding to our current crisis.
Knowing the situation only from the mouth to the mouth of the residents of the house. I don't know exactly how it's out there. However, from all the effort he put in behind me, it already looked bad. Especially with the photos of my mom I got.
I trust him. Must. Rizki had already reached her maturity in a deeper sense. Three years with him convinced me of that. He knows what he has to do.
Stay on. The baby is in my body. There's a mature adult in here. Silence is impossible. No matter how much I believe in my safety, there is no way to calm down! Worse yet, I don't know what the problem is.
Tong Ting!
The doorbell that sounded tacky echoed loudly even though I was on the second floor. An aunt rushed to open the door in a panic.
Who came to this house? This house is like a dead house. No one visits here. Rizki's still coming home in two days. Then who? The package?
A pounding of a galloping leg sounded at the end of the stairs. There was a face outside my head. Ah... I should have known…
“Rasyi!” Little Fares ran towards me.
The warm atmosphere was always at every end of his body. Her hug tells her that she is already very comfortable in her Elementary School uniform. Spill will be spirit even though it is day and time to rest. How much energy does he have?
He let go of his embrace. Confusion struck his face that was still bright even though it looked worn. The ears make the window glow reflect on the reddish cheeks above the yellow skin. Often I was made to trouble by that calm look.
“Rasyi?” her question made me realize that I wasn't smiling as usual.
I'm tired of responding to you. My blood seemed to go all the way to the most important tissue system at the top end of my head. You don't know!
I immediately put my smooth hand to his nose which turned out to be sharp. Heh. I still don't have a good mood.
“Ma~ Rasyi kok limp?” fares said he still let his nose hold.
“We also don't know why.” says aunty.
Sari. What is he recording from me? Taking pictures of me surly in disgust? I-i know... I shouldn't have thought of that unlucky bearer guy, but I'm his son! Do I have a choice?!
Sari laughed heartily like an elite empress in the palace. Why is he laughing too? Is there something on my face?
“It looks like Rasyi is worried about her papa.” My long hair is tidied up with her soft fingers.
Waw. I guess I can't underestimate a mother's instincts. Are all mothers like that? Four thumbs up for you, Sari!
As light as a feather, Sari easily lifted me into her lap. Played a little bit of my hair. I felt her hand was braiding small.
“Cute girl~ Rasyi nothing to fear. Papa will be home kok.” Sari keeps playing my hair makes Fares want to come together, “Rasyi just have fun first, so papa does not have to worry too.”
“Pappa hawatil?” my many.
“Papa will not worry if Rasyi is happy.” continued Sari, “Rasyi just play, yes? Brother Fares friends.”
“Sister Fares play anything with Rasyi~” Fares holding my hand.
Yep. I was too worried. Papa and I can hang on and still be fine. That means everything is in control, right?
Calm yourself and have nothing to fear. All I need to do is my original plan⏤securing my position in this house. This also includes getting closer to them. It's gonna be fun.
“How about we draw?” continued Sari.
Also true. Do something or not, I still have one more sweet plan. Side plan for papa.
