Dear Ace's
#28 Want to Be Like Daddy
Dio and Chicko then take Ace away from the snack that is not too far away, while Jane and Rosie talk to let go of their longing. It seems like it was an unlucky day for Dio and Chicko because on this night Ace asked for quite a lot of snacks to the two of them. Ace bought a takoyaki, as well as some toys that were sold nearby. But inside the two of them, they had sincerely bought Ace whatever he wanted, because they remembered that Liam had helped a lot in their lives.
In the past when Dio was in trouble about his economic affairs, Liam immediately helped him by making a cafe and after that Liam entrusted Dio to take care of the cafe of his dreams. Since Dio worked in the cafe Liam, now Dio's life has become all-sufficiency and never dizzy about his economic problems again. Then Chicko had been helped by Liam to pay for his college semester money when both parents did not have the money to pay for it because the shop was quiet, though the money is Liam's savings to build his house now.
All his friends were helped by Liam without looking at anything, because Liam was a very good man. So now it was their turn to both of them to repay Liam's kindness all along even though it wasn't worth the help Liam had given. Although Liam was born from a wealthy family, but Liam never felt the prestige of being friends with all of them who could be said to be very opposite status.
Ace then ate the ice cream he had just bought while choosing a toy at the seller. Shortly thereafter Ace chose an orange-colored excavator truck.
"You want this one, um," said Ace pointing at the truck.
"Okay" answered Dio.
Chicko picked it up and asked the seller.
"How much for this one?"
"60 thousand, he replied.
"Can't be less?" ask Chicko to bid.
"What about 50 grand?" ask the seller.
"All right 50 grand."
"We pay for the joint venture" whispered Dio in Chicko's ear.
"Why don't you pay for it?"
"My money's up to buy him that food."
"Hmmm alright," replied Chicko in agreement.
"It's so dong."
"Bas with you, when you were given a decent job to his father, yet you still acted this way."
"I'm not paying a payday yet."
"Yes, yes" said Chicko lazily.
The two of them then took out their own money and so bought the truck.
"This is Ace's truck" Dio said as he gave the truck away.
"Thank you for that."
"Samely, let's go back to your eomma."
"Nee" Ace answered.
"What age is Ace now?" ask Chicko while holding Ace.
"1 year."
"But on my birthday dady didn't come, and he just sent me a car - a car that could walk on its own as my birthday gift."
"really?" ask Dio curiously.
Ace nodded.
"Nee, daddy sent it through grandpa Jo."
"Oh so."
"Om this daddy's friend?"
"Right, we're both close friends of daddy Ace."
"What's Daddy like about Dio?" asked Ace to look at Dio.
"Mmm daddy is a very nice guy, even he is the kindest guy and likes to help others when the person is in trouble."
"Oh so, mmm I want to be a good guy tomorrow like daddy."
"Well, steady" said Chicko, giving his thumbs up.
"Why is daddy so busy working that he doesn't come home to see me? does eomma always tell daddy that Ace is a bad boy, so daddy doesn't want to see Ace?"
"Ace is a good boy, and surely daddy really wants to meet him because you're his hero but because he's too busy so he can't see you yet."
"Is that so with Dio?" ask Ace to make sure.
"Of course everything Dio said was true" Chicko added.
"Hi baby, uh what are you carrying?" jane looked at the toy truck.
"Truck bought by om" Ace replied.
"You don't do that."
"It's okay - what Jane, after all Ace only asked for toy trucks only really and not stock hahaha."
"How much do I have to change?" ask Jane.
"No need to replace Jane, we both want to buy this truck really."
"Thank you Dio, Chicko."
"It's the same - Jane's, '" they said in unison.
"I'm sorry if Ace is bothering you both."
"Ace's a smart and nice kid so he doesn't bother us at all, doesn't he?"
"Right Jane, Ace's a smart kid."
"Ace wants to be a good guy like daddy, eomma."
"Dear, be a good man like daddy."
After that they sat down together while talking together, because they have not been like that for a long time. In the past, only Liam was able to unite several people with different backgrounds, different religions, and different religions, different tribes and races became one table to talk with but after he was not there it felt very empty because they were all busy with their respective affairs. Ace sat on Jane's lap hugging the toy truck. Ace listened to all the talk of the adults.
"What about Dio's cafe?" jane opened the conversation.
"Everything is good and even more visitors are increasing, especially on weekends."
"Thank God if it's like that, thank you for being willing to manage it."
"It is precisely me who is very grateful to you and also to Liam for entrusting me to manage the cafe."
"Not Dio, it's all thanks to Liam because after all it's Liam's dream cafe."
"So when are you going to take over the cafe to replace Liam for a while?"
"I won't take over the cafe even though I'm Liam's wife, because Liam has entrusted it to you which means Liam already relies heavily on you to manage the cafe."
"Oh, so if for example you want to take over the cafe then just tell me."
"Yes Dio but it looks like I'll just let it stay like this just as Liam wants it to."
"Okay Jane, thanks again?"
"Yes." Yeah."
After the conversation they went home.
"Hi grandmom," said Ace.
"Smart granddaughter, where were you going?" ask Mrs Robinson.
"So where'd we go, eomma?"
"To the town square" Jane replied.
"Well it was grandmom, it was to the town square."
"What did you buy?"
"It's a truck to take the sand."
"So Ace bought this truck by Dio and Chicko, mom."
"Have you met the two of them?"
"Yes mom, then Jane's gonna put Ace to bed because it's night."
"Yes Jane."
Mrs Robinson then kissed Ace's cheek.
"Bye Ace."
"Bye grandmom."
