Dear Husband
Darling

" Mama...." Elle opened the half-opened door and approached the bed where Sofia was sleeping quietly next to Nando, who was sitting on the back of the bed and holding up her laptop to check on some of Alex's reports. That day he was not really on holiday, rather working from home. Guilt is what forced him to stay.

"Ssttttt ..what's the matter dear? don't bother mom." Nando put his index finger on his lips as a signal for Elle to slow down his voice.

" I miss mama, pa." she replied innocently with cute eyes. Nando smiled at her. It turns out that besides being funny, her little girl is also smart to seduce.

"You can go up and sleep near my mom. But don't disturb his sleep. Mama's got a fever." explains Nando again. Elle nodded then climbed onto the big bed in a careful motion. Her little hands began to circle around Sofia's stomach, embracing her.

Nando stroked his daughter's head which looked wet. Maybe Maria just bathed him because the smell of shampoo and soap came out of his body. He focused on the laptop screen in front of him. There is a lot of work that he has to do today.

"eehhhmmm..are you here baby?" Sofia who felt another movement beside her woke up from her deep sleep. She blinked her eyes when she saw Elle holding her. The boy kissed Sofia's cheek.

"Elle.have papa said don't bother mama Sofia. He's sick." Said Nando with a huffed face. He puts his laptop on the table and tries to pull Elle away.

"Mas, no! let Elle here." Prohibit Sofia from hugging Elle's body.

"But you're still sick."

"I'm better."

"Would I get you something?" bargain Nando. Nearly four hours later, Sofia falls asleep until Elle wakes her up.

"Let me alone." Sofia who was thirsty would rise from her position.

"Stay there Sofia. I'll get you what you need." Sofia surrender. Free to argue with Nando.

"I'm thirsty mas. Please get me some water." Sofia relented. Nando poured the water in a teapot and handed it to Sofia who instantly drained it for a moment.

"Pa..."

"hmm."

"why do you call him a name?" asked little Elle who was sitting among them.

"meaning?"

"Why don't you call Sofia's mom like you called Emma?" Nando was only stifled at hearing the boy's innocent question. He and Sofia looked at each other.

"They're different people Elle." explains Nando.

"Open them both papa's wives? what is different pa?"

"That's...."

"Papa's just not used to Elle yet." Sofia quickly. Facing Elle's innocence takes patience, considering that the child is very critical on something.

"Mama too...."

"Mama?? what's with mama?" sofia asked not understanding while pointing at herself.

" Mommy calls papa using the word mas , like calling a taxi driver." Nando held back his laughter when he heard Elle's words inversely proportional to Sofia who looked wrong. Father of this child.alau not blood but the words are identical.

"El, that mas is not just calling a handyman ojeg, batagor, or something. Mas it's a call on older men or respected on the Javanese."

"But papa is not Javanese, ma." Sofia took a deep breath. The boy in front of him was very excited to argue apparently.

" Mama's a real Javanese boy."

"El, it's not what you think it is."

"Then I can call Mama with Sofia, right?" sikecil ngeyel said with his innocent face.

"That shouldn't be." concluded Nando who was also confused by his daughter's intentions.

"Why can't you, why can't I?"

"Ahh. I want you to call my dad, what dear?" cut Sofia broke the debate of father and son who have no end of the base.

"Papa used to call mom Emma darling. Mama Emma also called papa dear." deg. But between the two, Sofia is the one who looks the most shocked. Darling?? very evasive according to him. Not that the call is more suitable for Elle who notes their child's bane although not clear status.

"Why are you quiet? am I wrong?"

"No! fine if you want that. Papa will do it. Are you happy?" Elle smiled happily and hugged her papa's neck tightly.

"Of course." he answered happily. The boy again coiled spoiled in Sofia's arms.

" What's the sick mom, ma?"

"Just a little dizzy. Mama's just a cold allergy." Sofia replied. Elle nodded in understanding.

"Am I going to school again?"

"It's best not to El, let your recovery phase end." Nando replied with a worried tone. He didn't want anything to happen to Elle later because he broke the doctor's advice.

"But Elle misses school and friends, pa." whining spoiled Elle. Tears are already welling up in her eyes.

"Here, tomorrow mama take you to the princess' school." Sofia who could not bear to try to calm Elle.

"No Sofia! Elle will remain at home until her observation is complete."

"Mas, Elle can stay in school and meet her friends. We'll tell his teacher not to read or do anything for too long. Isn't he still kind of like that? don't over-dramatize something."

"Call the name again.mas again!" satirize Elle with both hands folded to the chest. The boy looked so upset that his lips pouted.

"Honey" said Sofia and Nando together. Then both smile awkwardly.

" You go first." Nando tried to melt the atmosphere.

"I will consult with the school first mas ehhh..sayang."

"Sofia..ehhh..honey..you still haven't healed properly, Elle also still has to be treated temporarily let him at home first."

Long thought, Sofia decided to agree. There was a truth, he was also afraid of anything happening to Elle because they could not observe her directly.

"Elle be patient, son. Follow papa." said Sofia smooth.

"But you have to promise first."

"hmmmm..What promise son?"

" Mama has to drive me to school every day." Elle's upset face looks funny to Sofia. His outstretched hand pinched slowly the chuby cheek was fatigued.

" All right, mama promise princess.
