EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
170. Blessings at the right time

Nadine was busy making su-su for her two children when a pair of hands hugged her waist from behind.

"Maos ..."

"Let's have a gini, five minutes ... aja," said Anton who began leaning his face into the recess of his wife's neck.

"But, I made su-su for the kids, Mas. They haven't slept either."

"A little while, honey. Three minutes is okay, too."

Nadine agrees, but when Anton finishes his sentence, someone's voice suddenly interrupts their activities.

"Dad? Mother?"

Anton's reflex immediately broke his embrace on Nadine's body and the two turned to the source of the voice. There looked Elara who put on a sullen face.

"Well, what I said" said Nadine, who was now holding back the gelak. He could guess his situation.

Elara is always jealous if Anton treats Nadine with affection, even though Nadine is his wife but Elara seems not to share the woman's affection with him.

"Hupp ..." Anton took a long breath. Several times he gave Elara understanding, in fact the little girl was always angry if she saw Anton and Nadine was caught being intense in front of her eyes.

"Udah yes, I anterin su-su first for them," Nadine said as she took Anton's cheek at a glance.

Anton could only scratch his head indistinctly.

If Elara cheated on Nadine, it would be different with Liora who cheated on Anton. The point remains the same, they should not have friendly interaction in front of the children if there is no want of a bad jealousy between their two daughters.

Liora always demands Anton to pay more attention to her. While Nadine, always dominated by Elara-even since the little girl was a baby, right?

"Nih, mother has made su-su for Sister Ela and sister Lio. Drink first yes," said Nadine who entered her daughter's room.

Elara looked still angry, she folded her hands on her chest and threw a glance towards the window.

Nadine smiled because of the attitude the princess showed. "Sister Ela, Mommy can ask you something, right?" she said very gently and carefully, Nadine knew Elara was in a bad mood since seeing Anton hug her in the kitchen.

Gradually, the little girl nodded to the question of the mother, because she also could not silence Nadine for too long. Elara always falls for that woman.

"Why is Sister Ela always angry that Dad deket same Mother? No, you can't, can you?"

"Yes Mother is Ela's mother, I can't take Ela's mother, dong!" the 6-year-old girl said.

"But right, Mother is his wife's father. I'm not going to take Mother from Sister Ela. Can't that be too, huh?"

"No" said Elara.

"So don't you know, why are you the same Mother?"

Elara shook her head in her position, but with the same facial expression. Bended.

"That's because Daddy loves Mother. Same as Daddy loves Ela's sister too. Hence, sometimes Dad kisses and hugs Sister Ela and Adek Lio as well. That's a sign Daddy loves the three of us."

Elara's round eyes looked at Nadine with a high radiance of curiosity. Flashing as if digesting the words that Nadine said.

"Dad is the parents of Sister Ela, so if there is no Father, Brother and sister Adek will not be here with Mother. In the future, you can't be mad at me anymore, can you?"

Elara did not acknowledge Nadine's words, she still digested the woman's words.

"... Father is also part of the family, not just Mother, Ela's sister and Lio's sister. Even Dad is the head of his family. Father who is struggling to find money for schoolin Sister, buy su-su Sister. So, you can't be jealous of me anymore."

"What's jealous, Bund?" chirps Elara then.

"Jealous, yes, like Ela Lakain's sister. Dad hugged mom, and I didn't accept. Brother is angry with Dad. But, I want to love Mother. Can you, if Daddy loves Mother? Is it not happy that many love Mother too?"

"Well, if so, from now on Father, Brother and Adek who do love Mother. Can you dong, can you?"

"Can, Bund!" elara answered back excited.

Secretly, Anton notices Elara and Nadine's interaction from her son's bedroom doorstep. He was very grateful because God presented a mother figure like Nadine to Elara. The woman is like a blessing delivered at the right time. It's not wrong that Anton fell for her first - until the man felt lucky every time he remembered Nadine's struggle to raise Elara, even though she wasn't the mother who gave birth to her first daughter.

"So, if we love someone else, can we hug that person? Same as what I did to Mommy?"

Nadine grimaced at Elara's question this time. Her little girl was so critical that she was sometimes afraid of mispronouncing and causing Elara to make a trap question like the one she was currently throwing before Nadine.

"Elara may hug Father, Mother and Grandpa, for we are family. But, outside of that scope, Elara can't hurt anyone carelessly." Anton came in and he was the one who answered the princess' question.

"If you hug me, okay, yeah? Elara loves Lala, Chikita and Giva. Can you, dad?" The little girl was now looking at Anton with her innocent gaze.

"Can. But, do not be excessive and frequent, only at certain times, for example Elara wants to support them and comfort when they are sad."

"But better, for now Brother Ela should only hug the family," added Nadine, she was afraid that her daughter would misinterpret a hug and would practice on the wrong person and not fit the portion.

"That's it, Bund? Yeah?"

The parents nodded and Elara finally understood the words of Nadine and Anton as she smiled a satisfied smile.

"Well, now Elara's drinking her milk huh. Abis it, brush your teeth and sleep." Anton glanced at Liora who looked asleep. "Look, Adek Lio has already slept first, wah .. do not drink deh su-sunya, even though it has been made Mother."

They suddenly look at Liora who was meant by Anton. Elara laughed briefly, then hurriedly drank the nutritious liquid that had been made by the Mother.

"Well, now brush your teeth, it's sleeping, son."

Anton kissed Elara's cheeks alternately left and right. Then go to Liora's position and do the same. After that, he decided to move first to enter his private room.

"Darling, I'll wait in the room, yes" Anton told his wife. Nadine nodded with a warm smile, she would make sure Elara finished brushing her teeth first and went to sleep, then she would catch up with her husband to their room.

The sound of the door opening made Anton turn his head, Nadine was done with their children and the return of the wife into the room was a relief that made Anton sigh lightly.

"His Elara sleeping?"

Nadine nodded as she closed the door again. He opened the kimono that he had been using since, leaving behind a thin nightgown that covered his two-bodied body.

Nadine got into bed and took the most comfortable position under her husband's arms that had been stretched. She sniffed the distinctive scent of her husband that she missed so much lately.

"I'm sorry, I've been busy taking care of Yara and Sky at the hospital for a few days."

Although Anton still returns home every night after finishing his sister's business, but only tonight he can have a light chat with his wife again, because usually when he came home his wife was asleep and they just met the next day, and so on for the last few days.

"It's okay, Mom. I understand. I'll see Yara later. I know he must have been in shock because of some trouble that came especially when Sky was declared dead."

Anton stared at the wife. "This is something I learned, baby. I don't want to leave you first. Surely you will be in a mess and confused if you are alone," he said as he increasingly hugged the wife's shoulder.

"So you want me to leave you first?" ask Nadine later.

Anton thinning lips. "That's also I can't. I don't even want to fuck her."

"Lho's? So what does this mean? do not want to leave and do not want to be left behind? Are we immortal humans? Later we will also lose it, Mas. Regardless of who comes first, me or you."

"Yes, indeed. For that I will try to keep you and the children as good as possible. So, even if I go first, you are ready to accept it and do not feel dazed anymore."

"I can't lose you either, Mom. I think it's better I go first."
