Eps 104 - Eating Ice Cream with Mickey
Angeline is currently at the cafe, accompanying her whining son asking for ice cream since last night. And Angeline also had to obey the wishes of her only son or he would continue to whine all day.
"Mama.." said Micheal then while enjoying his vanilla-flavored ice cream "Why is that pretty Aunt Mama telling me to go home while playing at home?" asked Michael then who made Angeline frown confused.
"Which beautiful aunt?" ask Angeline wonder.
"That's..." Michael pointed behind Angeline with sparkling eyes and a wide smile on her lips, Angeline turned her head and followed where Michael was referring.
Angeline saw her ex-husband was with his wife, Firda, and her ex-husband looked very happy when feeding ice cream into the mouth of her husband.
Instantly Angeline's heart felt sore and tight to see the romance of the two of them.
Meanwhile, Firda is currently enjoying the ice cream she really wanted since last night.
It was also in this place that Firda and Gabriel met for the first time in this big city.
"Darling, you're about to run out of two cups. Your throat will hurt, dear" persuaded Gabriel.
"In the meantime, baby we still want more. Aaa..." Firda opened his mouth wide, Gabriel also returned to feed him.
While Micheal continued to look at Firda and Gabriel with a big smile on his lips.
"Mama, can we say hello to my beautiful aunt?" michael asked, but Angeline immediately shook her head.
"No, Son. As soon as we go home" Angeline invites but Micheal jumps down from his chair then he runs up to Firda and Gabriel, Angeline immediately runs after Micheal.
"Hi, Auntie is beautiful." said Micheal who made Firda and Gabriel stunned, because he did not expect the presence of Michael.
Just now Firda will reply to Michael's greeting, but stopped because Angeline who came and immediately pulled Micheal's hand.
"Mickey, let's go home." take Angeline.
"Wait, Sister Angel." cried Firda and she got off her chair.
While Gabriel was still dumbfounded, for the second time he met and confronted Micheal, his son, whom he always missed.
Firda knelt in front of Michael and he smiled warmly at his husband's son who was of course also his son now.
"Hi, Mickey..." Firda greeted kindly, making Mickey also smile at his "You want ice cream?" firda and Michael asked quickly.
"No, Mickey. You've had ice cream" Angeline said.
"But a little, Mom" Mickey replied.
"Come on, Angel. Just once, let them eat ice together" Firda persuaded while glancing at Gabriel. Firda could clearly see the longing in her husband's eyes that was in his son, and of course that was fine for Firda.
"No!" firmly Angeline regardless of Gabriel's heartbreaking gaze and also his son's true gaze still wants to eat ice cream.
Firda stood up, he looked at Angeline with a different gaze, making Angeline feel strange because her usual Firda always looked at her with a friendly no matter what kind of attitude Angeline had on her.
"Don't be selfish, Angel. You are taking away both of them" said Firda, who even surprised Gabriel by not expecting Firda to say so.
"Which rights?" angeline asked coldly "Michael my son, only my son" she said firmly making Gabriel feel so hurt, as she too was eager to be acknowledged by Michael.
"Without him..." Firda pointed to Gabriel "There won't be him..." Firda then asked Michael "The blood is very strong, they can both feel the bond with each other and they are both tormented by having to separate" Firda lowered her voice so as not to invite people's attention, lucky today Firda just went alone with Gabriel.
"I know you're worried about your son's safety, and so is his father. I'm sure, Bang Gabriel will do anything to protect your son. keeping them away and hostile to the father of your son is not the solution to this problem" said Firda and Gabriel who heard it felt so moved, I don't know how much patience and love Firda has for himself.
While Angeline is only speechless, she also feels sorry for Micheal whenever he asks about his Daddy.
"Again, Sister Angel..." Firda returned to his husband's ex-wife.
"Mom, you want some more ice cream..." Michael pulled the tip of Angeline's shirt, he looked up and looked at Mommy so hard.
Firda raised Micheal to sit next to Gabriel but then Gabriel asked
"Can he sit on my lap?" gabriel asked in a soft voice, he looked at Michael full of longing and love, Firda's heart was filled to hear her husband's request. He placed Michael on Gabriel's lap, which made Gabriel kiss Michael on the cheek. Michael also seemed very happy and he giggled.
Angeline feels strange actually, because her usual Michael is very reluctant even if touched a stranger. But with Firda and Gabriel, it was like Micheal had known them for a long time.
"Mickey likes ice cream what flavor?" gabriel asked with glassy eyes, he could not express in words how happy he was to be able to speak, to hold me and to kiss his son. While Angeline who saw that was also happy, but not when she saw Firda as the third person in between
"Vanilla" Michael replied with excitement.
"All right, we order Vanilla ice cream" Gabriel said.
"Isn't this Vanilla, too?" Michael pointed to the rest of Firda's ice cream on the table.
"Yes, Honey. It's got an aunt" Firda said.
"So a pretty aunt likes vanilla ice cream? We're the same.." cried Micheal so enthusiastically.
"Yes, Mickey. Aunty's baby loves Vanilla ice cream" Firda said softly.
Angeline's heart grew tight and sore as Firda talked about her baby, what else when Michael looked so happy.
"Infant? Did ya? Auntie's gonna have a baby? Whereabouts? Mickey's gonna feed her ice cream. Can the baby be Mickey's sister?" micheal said that made Gabriel and Firda chuckle.
"Later, Honey. The baby is still in the stomach. And this is indeed Mickey's sister" Gabriel said, then feeding the ice cream into Micheal's mouth, after which Gabriel also fed it into Firda's mouth.
"Emm, just when did it get out of her belly?" ask Michael again.
"In a moment." replied Firda. Gabriel returns to feed his wife and son in turn and he forgets Angeline, who is now burning with jealousy.
"His baby's sister is a boy what's a girl?" micheal asked again with such enthusiasm.
"Don't know yet, dear" Gabriel replied "Mickey wants a younger brother or a sister?" ask her.
"Ep... Men and women, can't you?" her question was so innocent that she even blinked her cute eyes.
"Just pray, son" said Firda.
"Is it done?" angeline asked then in a tone so cold.
"No, Mom" Micheal replied innocently.
"But we have to go home, honey. It's noon" Angeline said.
"But, Mom..."
"Nothing but but.." - Angeline asserts then she takes Michael from Gabriel's lap by force. It made Gabriel feel lost.
"We're home" Angeline said again and then she took Michael away.
Gabriel stared at the back of his ex-wife who took his son away, Gabriel again felt lost and sad, but he smiled when Michael turned his head and waved at Firda and Gabriel.
Firda and Gabriel also returned a wave of Michael's hand with a smile because Michael smiled very widely.
After Angeline and Michael were not seen again, Gabriel immediately looked at Firda with a deep gaze.
"Thank you, honey. L'm.... I held her back" Gabriel said in a trembling voice, so moved by the end that he could touch Michael.
"The same" Firda replied with a smile. He also felt so happy when he saw Gabriel happy.
