EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
111. A taste that has no name

How he feels when he leaves, as well as Anton feels when he arrives home.

Staring at a woman who patiently gave formula milk to her little daughter.

The scene seemed to be very contrasting and felt to thrill his heart. The sincerity of the woman can radiate from her gentle and loving way.

For this, Anton admitted that Nadine really behaved like a mother for Baby Elara.

"Drinking is okay, honey? If aja Aunty has asi definitely Auntyin for you, deh.." chirped Nadine and can be heard by Anton from the doorway.

I don't know why hearing that actually makes Anton feel full. Baby Elara was unable to feel Asi at all from the beginning of her birth. On the contrary, Nadine will not have it even if she wants to give it to the baby.

It seems Nadine has not realized Anton's return, Nadine is too busy with Baby Elara.

"Nad?"

The call from Anton made Nadine turn her head, she smiled in a knot towards the man.

"Return back, Mom? I thought it would be late in the afternoon" the woman replied.

"Why? You want to go home?"

"No, why would I go home I'd rather be here with Elara." This time Nadine said as she looked at the little baby in her cradle.

"Elara hasn't slept?"

"It seems like a moment again, it's sleepy, Elara again seriously ngabisin su-sunya. Mas do not bother ya, ntar he so cry," said Nadine warned Anton who initially intended to greet the baby.

Finally Anton just smiled faintly, he entered the house, the door was not closed from the beginning of his departure - an hour ago.

"If I go, you close the door, fearing an uninvited guest."

"No, Mas. Your workshop will open in front, where I might close the door. I'm not good with your workers, I guess I say that."

"Lho, Fandi knows that I'm out shopping stock. Why would he think you were doing something?"

Nadine sniffed his shoulders indifferently. He just did not want anything wrong with his presence in Anton's house so it's good that the door was opened wide. Moreover, he also heard how Yara and Sky were suddenly married off by citizens. He didn't want that until it happened to him and Anton.

If only she could, Nadine would care for Baby Elara calmly, without prejudice from others. But, if bringing Baby Elara to his own residence, it feels unethical - as if he wants to control the baby, but his intention is certainly not so.

How can he take care of Baby Elara without the prejudice of others?

"Ehm, Mum. When you left, someone came here. Who is he asking me. She thinks I'm your new wife, instead." Nadine nodded at the end of her sentence.

Hearing that, Anton gave a smile but was also astonished. It must have been a citizen who was impressed by Nadine's presence in her home. Understandably, the area where he lives is indeed inhabited by people who still care about the surrounding environment. They are not indifferent, even very caring, but because it is also what makes the neighbors so impressed very curious and interfere in the affairs of others.

It is also because residents want this area to be safe and there are no activities that are not in accordance with ethics and violate norms.

"Keep, what do you say the same?"

"I'll answer I'm Elara's nanny."

"But, Nad?" Anton felt that the status was not suitable for Nadine who incidentally was a guest at his home.

"Yes, I did have Elara, Mas. What else do I have to answer? If I say I'm your guest, I can't come here often to see Elara again."

"What's that?"

"Yes, there are guests who come every day. I'm afraid I'm told to report to RT every 1x24 hours" joked Nadine.

Once again Anton was amazed by Nadine's answer. But he also laughed at the end.

"So, you mean---"

"Yes, Mas. It's okay, if I come every day to visit Elara." Nadine cut Anton's words quickly.

Anton was actually funny with Nadine's statement this time, but he also could not bear to see the twinkle of hope in the woman's eyes.

"Yes, I can, anyway. I like it too."

"Likes?"

"Yes, like, um .. he means happy, because you want to help me take care of Elara."

"Yes, Mas. I'm a whimper, Elara's a good baby too. I feel like I fit in with your baby. Oh yeah, you had lunch, Mom?"

"Why? Don't tell me you want to cook here? Seriously, Nad, I'm not good with you. And I also can't afford to be asked to pay you," licked Anton and Nadine finally lowered her face.

Anton moved slowly, then stretched out a package to Nadine.

"This is what, Mas?" ask the woman.

"You ate first, you must not have eaten because take care of Elara from morning."

"I'm sorry, just buy some rice in the warteg just now."

"It's okay, Mom. I have to apologize."

"Yes, I don't think you're used to that kind of food."

Now Nadine is laughing. "What the hell, Mas. I eat the same as you eat. Both eat rice too," he chuckled.

Nadine also moved from Anton's presence, she wanted to put Baby Elara on the bed in Anton's room because the baby was asleep along with her exhausted su-sunya.

Before long, Nadine comes out of the room and sees Anton doing something near the dinner table, but she is not sure what the man is doing. Coincidentally the position of Anton's room did have to pass the dining room+- until inevitably Nadine can see it.

"What are you doing, Mas?"

Prak! Srrrhhhh

"Arkh!" Anton squealed stifled, making Nadine who heard so panicked instantly.

The woman then approached Anton's position and saw if the man had been doused in boiling water.

Apparently, Anton was brewing tea-water when Nadine greeted him. Surprised, the water struck Anton's own back.

"Geez, my mom." Nadine felt guilty, she immediately shifted Anton's cup to be more in the middle of the table, then looked at the man's hand.

"I can't get hot water, huh, Mas?" Nadine helps wipe Anton's flushed-looking hands with a piece of tissue.

The man was still grimacing, he looked at Nadine who was holding his hand and stroked her slowly. He could even feel a soft touch of the woman's skin. Making her pupils grow in size for a moment.

"I-yes, I was shocked when you came out of the room" he admitted frankly.

"Duh, I'm so not good with Anton, I shouldn't have been alone and quiet, yes."

"It's okay, Nad. I was wrong too."

"There's no ointment, Mas? Let me help you with the medication..."

"No, Nad. I can do it myself."

But, Nadine's eyes immediately caught the medicine box that was perched on the wall of the room. Search for a moment there and find an ointment suitable for treating the wound on Anton's hand.

"Let's sit down, Mas."

Anton complied and sat down on the dining chair. Nadine sat next to him.

"Other times be careful, yes, Mas." Nadine said as she applied the ointment to the man's hand.

Coldness directly runs through his skin, but different from the sense of heart that actually feels the opposite of it. Yes, Anton's heart suddenly flowed warm.

Nadine slashed Anton's hand painstakingly. He did not even realize that Anton had been addressing his activities with a fixed gaze.

"Well, it's over, Mom."

As Nadine raised her face, her gaze was fluttering with Anton's eyes glaring intensely. For a moment, the view was locked there - even as if they did not realize that there was a magnetic force that felt attractive in the gaze of the two.

Anton's heart has been frozen ever since Shanum was shown to betray him. He didn't even know he could open his heart to another woman or shut it off forever.

But the presence of Nadine ....

"Mas, where did I put the rice?" Nadine cut off eye contact between them, now even like busy looking for a pack of rice that Anton had given before.

"Ah, like at the front desk. Let me get it." Anton moved up and got up from his seat. He also wants to avoid the atmosphere akward that had happened between them.

As soon as Anton headed for the front room, only Nadine could breathe out a long breath. Why did it feel like he was holding his breath and feeling stifling? Anton's eyes are like alluring and locking him up.

"What the hell am I?" nadine muttered to herself. He went to massage his own temple, because now began to worry with his own heartbeat that suddenly manifest if it was close to Anton.

Nadine held onto her chest, she could clearly feel something different from her own body's response.

"Son, I can't be interested in Anton." Nadine was deep within herself, for she was afraid of misinterpreting a sense that from the beginning had no name.

What is the name of this feeling? Ah, I don't know, Nadine doesn't know it, or maybe ... haven't noticed it yet?
