Dear Husband
The Real

"Mama Sofia, is that you?" Elle who heard footsteps entering the mansion asked enthusiastically. The smile on his lips gradually disappeared while he only heard the sound of his papa's footsteps. Since becoming blind, his sense of hearing had indeed become very sharp.

"Where's Sofia pa's mom?"

." Honey, she's not your mom. She's just the woman you paid to be your mother when Emma's mom wasn't around. We'll see Emma's mom after this. We'll take Mama home." persuade Nando while stroking Elle's cheek gently.

"Where will papa pick up mom?"

"Of course to the hospital, baby. Maybe my mom is done with the therapy. He'll be reunited with us."

"Elle knew Emma's mom was dead." Nando's heart throbbed when he heard Elle speak the truth. She still loves Emma. His first love since college. Only Emma could melt the iceberg on him. Only Emma can make him want to get married and marry, and only Emma makes him act crazy and willingly dumped his family. Yes, Hutama's family did not approve of her marriage to Emma at all. That made Nando desperate to get out of the big house of the Hutama family and buy the magnificent house even though he did not get the words of eviction from his parents. Again, he was the only son in the family. His parents would not have the heart to throw him out despite disagreeing on his marriage, because as a child he had done his duty. His only mistake was marrying Emma.

"Where do you know Elle? did that woman tell you everything?" Nando's breathing hunted down, holding back the anger that was ready to explode in his chest.

"Mama Sofia never said anything to me, pa."

"then?"

"Yesterday when we went to the mall, we met Lena who greeted mom with the name of doctor Sofia. I was so angry because I felt lied to immediately angry at my mother and yelled at her pa." explained Elle while crying as she pleased. Nando pulled his little daughter in his warm embrace until Elle's cry subsided a little.

"When I accidentally opened the balcony door, I heard some guards talking about my mother's death."

"So they're the cause. I'll fire them without any leftovers!" fernando shouted, his jaw hardened for a moment.

"Don't papa!"

"El, they make you sad. Papa should punish them!" again Nando growled.

"No papa! without them telling me I knew my mom was dead. My mom always comes in my dreams. Mom apologized to me repeatedly and told me she was somewhere far away. When I was about to disappear, Mama told me to be a strong boy." Nando rubbed the corner of his glazed eyes. The shadow of Emma will re-establish her head. If the night of the curse had not happened, Emma would have loved Elle dearly and the accident would have never happened.

"You have to be patient, son, it's God's destiny. Pray that you will have the best place in God's side. We don't need anyone else El, enough papa and you." Nando lowered his voice, reached the limit of his sanity and tried to advise Elle.

"But Elle wants Sofia's mama, pa." whine the little miss.

"Elle, she's not your real mama. Did you forget that? he even admitted it, right? so you don't have to depend on him. There's a father who will always take care of you and love you Elle."

"But Elle wants Sofia's mom, pa.” Repeat Elle harder. Nando could see the disappointment on his daughter's face, suddenly he already felt like a failed father. There is regret in him. She should not have brought Sofia into their lives by disguising herself as Emma without thinking about the consequences that would happen in the future. The original goal was only to temporarily happiness Elle and would release the woman later on. But he has already promised to stay with her no matter what happens. Nando is a man who keeps his own promises. Now, when Elle finds out all the truth and starts to like Sofia, shouldn't she be happy to keep her promise to Sofia? but why is his heart now broken?

"Pa, are you going to be mad at what Elle said?" seeing his daughter downcast sad, a sense of unbearability began to control the mind of Nando. The head of Elle. His little daughter is an introverted child who has trouble liking the existence of others. But when he starts to be interested and like her, it will be difficult for him to forget or hate her.

"Mama Sofia's a patient woman Elle, she's not like Emma's mom who would scold you if you did something wrong. You have to apologize when Sofia's mom comes home."

"Is papa busy?" ask Elle.

"if you're not busy, I want you to drive me to the hospital to see you." Nando. He memorized the character of Elle who will never delay anything. Especially if the daughter feels guilty. But unfortunately he couldn't grant Elle's request this time. He must first meet Sofia and talk to her face to face.

"Darling, papa had a meeting this morning. I'm going to the hospital to pick up my mom." Elle looked sad, but still nodded her head.

"Is mama Sofia pretty, pa?" suddenly the question slid from her tiny lips.

"What do you mean El?"

"Is she prettier than Emma's mom?" Nando took a deep breath. Emma's shadow again flashed and revolved around her head.

"No woman is more beautiful than Emma. He is the near perfect creation of God El. Your mama is the idol of all men. She was also a very good woman." recalls Nando with eyes glaring.

"But mama is not as gentle as mama Sofia.” There's no block from Nando's lips. What Elle said was right. Emma tends to be spoiled, glamorous and a stark contrast from Sofia who is what she is, self-sufficient and assertive.

" She's still your real mama, honey. My mother was on God's side. Never reveal his vices or compare him to others."

"But mama Sofia really loves me pa."

"papa knows baby. She is also your mother, either now or until later because papa is married to Sofia's mother. You know if papa doesn't like farewells?"

"really?"

"Yes, do you sound like a joke?" Elle knew her papa was a serious and very strict type of man. What he said was what he was going to do.

"Elle believes in papa." he concluded later. A smile appeared on his face. Nando hugged her very tightly.

"El dear papa." whispered.

"Papa was very fond of Elle. Now you go to the office."

"Good papa."

"Good at home baby, assalamualaikum."

"Mahalaikumsalam pa."

"Mary, take care of my daughter."

"well sir." Nando turned towards the door and walked out from there. He had to hurry to see Sofia.
