Don't (Blame) Love
BASIC MAN
"Al" said Queen after eating some feed from her husband.
"Yes, honey."
The queen removes any leftover food that sticks to the mouth area. Then, he started to say what he wanted to say since yesterday.
"Every night coming here, he said that since that event Adriel broke down in everything including eating not going to college and not doing anything. He just he locked himself in the room."
Al placed the plate and spoon on the nightstand and looked at his wife carefully without saying a word.
"Then how do you think we're going to agree to their ridiculous request?"
"I'll take care of you, baby," replied Al. Since the beginning, Al has agreed with April's request to marry her daughter Berlin.
"If you do not agree to pity also children whose parents have not had our time as foster parents will let him go crazy because of love? His love for our daughter, hahaha! Life is so ridiculous. Is it possible that our family has received the curse that the child we raised will marry our biological child?"
Aldian momentarily raised his brow next to her while looking at Queen. Then she laughed after remembering that she was the child who happened to be found by Mama Clara and grew up loving the child of her foster parents. Mama Clara and their papa vano are stepbrothers who meet after both are adults.
"If it's the best, why not? Not allowing Berlin to marry Adriel, finding her another man would not necessarily be as good as Adriel, right? Importantly, papa used to be good with mom, and I love you too, right?" al said while peeking at Queen's cheek.
"papa's kindness to Mama can not be doubted. But, at least to get mom papa is not pushy. It's not like you've been harassing me so many times!"
"But, good, right?"
"What? You're this! Come on, you get ready and go to work!" queen said, ashamed of her husband's words.
He doesn't want to argue. Whatever his answer was, he would also lose. Indeed, at that time, he did not enjoy what Al did to him at all. In fact, he had felt disgusted at the figure he had admired and respected all this time.
But, in the end, as time went on, Queen also began to love Al and never refused in serving the man until finally born Clarissa and Berlyn. And now she has conceived again the seed of Al.
"You're talking about Adriel and Berlyn not done yet. How's it?"
"Maybe it's better. We just let them. Despite the risk that our daughter will get pregnant before marriage in KUA."
"Yes, if you want that, go ahead. The princess who made the decision, just obedient servant," said Al. Then, both were caught.
****
During the break, Al immediately rushed to go home he had prepared the fruits he ordered through an online application that could be delivered at that time just waiting a few minutes. It means waiting for him not until the day at least 2 hours late at the latest. He deliberately did that to make up for his guilt because lately he was too busy with outside work to the point of not paying attention to his wife who had been pregnant for almost 2 weeks.
Even so busy he was with work, he also forgot not to tell Clarissa who was in the land of white lions.
"Father Al!"
"Oh, Bilqis. Tumben you're here. What's up?" ask Al to his stepson. I don't know, the term ex stepson is there or not while now he is no longer with the girl's mother.
"Papa wants to deliver something to Mama Queen's workplace. You, you wanna come?"
Bilqis did not answer. In her heart the girl began to feel envious of Queen who was so cared for by her husband.
Now she understood why her mother loved this man in front of her so much. This man is very kind and so romantic attention to the couple despite the little things. Even as a man he did not feel shame or prestige sending food to his women.
But what does he regret is why his mother even cheated on a man like Jevin who is completely irresponsible and even just scorched his property? If only it was not done by his mother maybe until now Bilqis still has a father figure who is the hope for all children in the world.
"Bilqis why are you dumbfounded?"
"Oh, sorry Pa. I'm home again" replied the girl.
"Yes now you want how you can't rush here for long."
"Well, I'll come" replied Bilqis. Forced he must follow his former stepfather to see his wife now. Although actually she just wanted to be alone with Al did not want to be with anyone even though it was her stepmother who was also kind and considerate of him.
At first Bilqis is unaware of her feelings for Al. He just felt that he just missed the figure of a father from Al. But, in fact, he felt uncomfortable and did not like the scenery in front of him when he saw things so friendly to feed two booze to the Queen.
If envy should be rivaled as a stepchild, this feeling arises when Al treats Berlyn well, right?
"Prank!"
Al and Queen immediately turned to the source of the voice.
"Oh, sorry. I daydreamed, accidentally dropping a glass," Bilqis said, trembling with emotion.
"It's okay you just move here, so later the cleaning service that cleans the shards of the shard," said Queen.
As a woman I also felt that something was wrong with the son of her ex-wife. But as a mature woman she also has to be professional, trying as much as possible to give guidance that after all Al and he also remain his parents can not have more feelings of a child to his father and mother.
It's just that, to give the advice is old-fashioned still does not have much evidence or one strong evidence and enough to advise Bilqis so forced to hold back and be silent.
"Ah, yes, Ma. Thanks though. Well, Bilqis went home first, huh?" said the girl in a hurry.
"Eh, Bilqis!" scream Queen. But, the girl paid no heed at all and directly walked out of the room.
"Al, do you feel weird about Bilqis's behavior?"
"Maybe he was traumatized after something bad happened to him. So, it's natural, baby."
Queen exhaled a bit harshly looking at her husband then chuckled as she muttered inwardly, "Basic, man. It's not sensitive!"
