Eps 114 - Hiding Time 2
"There's no way Gabriel's not in that house, Frank." said John, who is currently in his house, he went straight to his room and he saw that the secret door was already wide open. He's on the phone with Frank right now to monitor Frank's progress in the search for Firda and Gabriel.
"I've searched all the places you mentioned, but he doesn't exist. I think maybe they went back to Gabriel's wife's village"
"That's impossible." exclaimed Frank who now walked into his secret room "I know my son very well, he couldn't have gone there because he knew it could be dangerous for his beloved wife's family..."
Frank was astonished when he saw that the room was already heavily destroyed, anger already filling his soul at this moment.
He disconnects the phone no matter what Frank is talking to him.
"Oh my God.." muttered John in a panic, now Gabriel must have known that John had been watching them all along.
.........
Gabriel prepared dinner for his wife and child, both Gabriel and Firda looking very unappetizing with food in front of them. But Gabriel knows he needs to keep up his stamina to protect his little family. While Firda must still force himself to maintain his diet for the sake of the fetus in his stomach.
"Of..." Micheal made a sound after Firda fed him "Mickey wants to go home, Mommy wants.." he said softly with glassy eyes.
Firda's heart gasped at that, he really felt sorry for the boy, who did not understand anything.
"Darling..." Gabriel stared softly at his first son's "Mommy is away at work, his word Mickey on the titip same Aunt and Om. Just for a moment" persuaded him but Micheal now instead ask his baby sitter.
"Where to tell ncus?" ask her.
"He's sick, honey. So for a while, Mickey was the same Om first huh. Until Ncus is healthy and Mommy is done working" Gabriel again persuades her with lies after lies.
While Firda could only stare at the father and son.
"Continue uncle daddy frank Where? Same opa?" micheal asked again, Gabriel seemed to have no idea to look for another lie, Gabriel looked at Firda with sadness.
"They are busy..." Firda continued, he stroked Micheal's head gently and looked into the eyes of his stepson "Indeed Mickey does not like it when sleeping and playing with Aunt and also the baby's sister?" ask Firda then. Micheal paused for a moment before finally smiling.
"Mickey likes it, Aunt is beautiful and kind." said the words that make Gabriel and Firda breathe a sigh of relief and smile. Tonight they managed to lie to Micheal, somehow tomorrow and beyond.
After dinner, Gabriel takes Michael to his room and puts him to bed.
"Om, Mickey wants to hear a fairy tale." said Micheal arrived which makes Gabriel confused.
"What story?" ask him confused. Gabriel has never read a fairy tale before bedtime, his childhood was different from the childhood of a child in general. He also has no experience taking care of children.
"About the valiant prince." said Michael later.
Firda who was cleaning up the leftovers they now come into the room, Gabriel immediately looked at Firda as if asking for help to his wife.
Firda sat down next to Micheal and smiled at the boy.
"Alright, let Aunt read the fairy tale." said Firda then he glanced at Gabriel at a glance "It's about a prince who is very good and handsome, a handsome man, he has a kingdom where there are some bad people around him..."
Micheal listened to Firda's story carefully, and Gabriel did the same.
"But he still does good things, even if they are not good to him. He has such a broad heart that he easily forgives people, and loves people. He tries to conquer all with love. Thus, a bad person is devastated by his kindness.... "
"So, is the final prince happy with a person who has changed well?" asked Michael and Firda nodded.
"The prince is always happy because in his heart..." Firda touched Micheal's chest "There's always love"
"What is love?" micheal asked again, which made Gabriel chuckle.
"Love is caring, as Mommy did with Michael, and so is..." Firda glanced at Gabriel before finally saying "Yg would do handsome Om to Micheal, and love was a sense of comfort. Isn't Micheal comfortable with handsome Om?" firda asked later, Gabriel immediately looked at Michael enthusiastically as he was very curious about his son's answer and he knew his son would not lie.
"Yes." replied Micheal then who made Gabriel immediately smile full haru, he also kissed Micheal's forehead long enough.
"Now it's time to go to bed, son" he said later.
Micheal nodded and began to close his eyes, Firda patted Micheal's slanted back. Until slowly sounded the soft snoring of the child.
After making sure Michael was asleep, Firda and Gabriel came out of the room.
They were sitting on a sofa in front of their room. Gabriel held Firda and Firda placed her head on her husband's chest which made her feel comfortable. Gabriel stroked the head of his wife who was still wrapped in her hijab.
"I'm sorry, honey. I haven't been able to get you out of this.." said Gabriel.
"So you really don't know about John?" ask Firda.
"Not at all, dear" replied Gabriel softly.
"What if he's really your father?" ask Firda again.
"I don't care" said Gabriel, "He's a brat, honey. I can't take that"
Firda did not respond, because he also thought the same thing as Gabriel thought.
"I have John's address." said Firda then who made Gabriel immediately look at him along with that Firda looked up "I got him from Mini..."
"Can Mini and her dad be trusted?" ask Gabriel.
"It's God..."
