Daughter of the Widower: The Single Daddy'S Daughter
#68 Go to the Beginning
“Rasyi no longer in contact with Firna huh? He said you haven't been contacted in a long time. I'm overwhelmed loh. Every day asked where you go,” Aaron smiled while holding his Ice Blend glass.
Yes because ever since that unforgettable horrible incident, papa spontaneously changed his number and my cell phone number. At that time there was a lot that I needed to digest, until I could not think of anything. In the end, everything is forgotten.
“Other friends are also⏤not. It's okay.”
… what?
“Oh yes. Rasyi, would you like me to buy some shoes? I want Rasyi to help me choose. It must be good,” he smiled again heating up both my cheeks.
It's been two hours since you picked me up. Not enough yet?
Can't do. I'm so grateful I got out on the grounds of meeting you. The problem is, if this continues, just wait for the time they attack. Aaron can follow the same as the previous Jagad.
“Harun⏤”
Eh? My phone's beeping. Any chat from Fares? Why yes?
“Wait a minute,” I open my phone and check.
[Rasyi is still at the cafe?]
Oh, that's right too! I could use Fares as the reason I turned him down.
Yes, Rasyi is still here. Brother can pick up Rasyi no? Rasyi wants to go to sister's house.
Answer yes. Please answer yes. Please!
[Can. Wait there.]
Nicey!
Thank you kak~
“Who?” Aaron looked to be waiting.
“Sister Fares,” I smiled and put the locked phone down, “I just remembered that I had promised to go to Fares' house. Brother Fares OTW pick it up. Sorry, Aaron, I can't go for a walk anymore.”
Duh, Aaron's water face looks weird.
“You obviously prefer him huh?”
“Hah?”
“No. No papa kok.”
Eh? Don't-don't..he's jealous?
Why is he jealous of Fares? What to be envied? Outside of Fares who is indeed a student and a superior child, Aaron is also an extraordinary person because of his character and ability. Even compared to Fares, Aaron has many people who tirelessly to always like him.
However, hihihi…. I didn't think this guy could act this sweet!
“Harun~ I want to ask for something.”
He looks confused, “Asks? What?”
“I want a bouquet of flowers!” I put out a confident smile on this impromptu plan, “Harun want to buy me one for birthday no?”
Thank goodness she can smile brightly. He knew he would be waiting for it.
“If Rasyi really wants to, why don't I love you?” he again leaned to the front of the table, “Rasyi want flowers how?”
Mmm. I don't really know those kinds of flowers. But I know one flower that means romantic other than roses. Like a painting in the house.
Most of my mouth while head-to-head, like a plain girl who knows nothing, “Aster flowers?”
Aaron was speechless thinking of something, “Aster..?” she immediately laughed a little, “Let me buy pink daisies. Yes?”
Aduh~ Turns out she knows what pink daisies mean. Yes, it is thick with the meaning of love. It was exactly as my mother had described in her collection room.
“Bby~ I like all colors coke,” I will maintain my innocence until the end⏤ “Aauw!” whyyy?! Where?! How many?!
“Sorry,” this guy apologized after giving a stomp on our table that he nudged suddenly.
This guy why the hell? Dia⏤loh? Did he drop something?
“Rasyi no papa?” Aaron looked worried.
Back I looked at this gentle man, “Iya, just shocked.”
Is that paper falling? I can read even far away.. eh?
“Yakin not papa?”
“Iya! It's okay,” ups, I'm daydreaming again. Should I switch again the conversation, “Friends in class how?”
“Iiih~ I'd prefer school there. Not even a year, back to private school at home.” I scowl annoyed to show me as usual.
I can't show my surprise. Otherwise, I'll have a harder time separating him from beside me. He had to come home and get away from me before he knew what I was seeing.
Slowly my feet covered the paper that the passing man dropped with my shoes.
[Rasyiqa darling <3]
Aaron can't see the writing.
“Rasyi,” voice a relief!
“Sister Fares~!” It's good news to see his face, “I don't bother brother, right?”
This big brother returned my smile as he continued to approach our table, “Not really. Sister is unemployed too.”
“Ih! Arrogant, already got a lecture invitation!”
Fares take a seat across our table, “Later Rasyi can also own.”
BRACKET!
AAA!! Whyyy?!
“Sorry,” Aaron seemed to hit the table while standing earlier. However, he looks still maintaining a smile, “Because there is already Brother Fares, I just go straight ya?”
Well, he's angry, but.., “Iya. Careful Harun~” Smile, smile!
He smiled back. Without a pair of words, he left us.
A heavy guilt on the nape of my neck. How else would you like? It has to be like this so he doesn't get in trouble.
Now I have to take care of Fares. Fortunately Fares is easier to manage than Aaron. He can always listen to me. There must be a way for him to leave me. Even if only for a few minutes.
Sorry, Fares, I have to leave you with no news.
Time for actress Rasyi to shine!
I made an expression like I felt a disturbance in the shoes I was wearing. Returning the chair and looking down grabbed the paper under my shoes.
“What's below?”
“Not~” stay calm and just keep going, “There's a stick on my shoes. People litter recklessly,” I fold the paper and show the look of the empty paper on Fares.
“Oh,” thankfully Fares was fooled.
“Sister wait a minute here, yes?” I brought a sling bag and hooked it on my shoulder, “Next to there's a cake shop, Rasyi wants to buy it first.”
“Rasyi go alone?”
Time to show a sad expression, “Why? Can't?”
“Ya can anyway. But Rasyi sure?”
“Aaan anyway? Not so many here. Still strong lah~”
“Ya already, directly call if why-napa loh,” his face looks sad.
Thankfully, as always. Fares easily believed in me and didn't question things. Things like this are very beneficial in these circumstances. Unlike Aaron who would definitely ask and insist on coming along.
“Siap~” cheerful I showed my hands respecting like during flag raising, “Rasyi go first~”
Step over I go. The further I go, the more I try to strengthen my heart.
My left hand held firmly against the bag strap that carried my mama's necklace and some things I felt necessary. But I didn't expect much. The items could be confiscated and even left on the spot.
Cafe exit on the two-lane medium street. Always quiet in the middle of the day even with the ranks of shops that are still active and beautiful parks. They certainly won't wait for me until the afternoon when people start gathering for the wind.
I'm sure they'll be watching my movements. My behavior had to remain normal until they finally showed themselves.
My steps back to walking relaxed. No pedestrians during the hot day kept me from feeling my phobia again. Just follow the path to bakery which is a few shops away.
“Who?!” I reflexively twisted my gaze as I felt a slow knock on my back.
Man in hoodie hat. He smiled and raised one hand as if greeting me.
Is this the guy who picked me up?
Without a word, he stepped before me in a direction further from the cafe. Did he mean to tell me to go with him?
Huh. Stay cool. Just follow, Rasyi….
