Father's Status On My Son's Deed
55. Proximity

Inside the room, Aji and Khairi tell a lot of stories. In her heart, Aji feels sad with the room occupied by Asha and the son, but she tries to look ordinary so as not to hurt the heart of her loved ones. The room does look pretty good to be occupied, just as a businessman like Aji, of course this room is far from what he dreamed. The mattress is small and the room is narrow, measuring three by three meters.

For the size of him must be nothing, different from Asha and Khairi who consider if this house is very comfortable. For them, living wherever the origin could be together was definitely fun. Happiness is the most important now.

"Happy khairi can't meet Papa?" ask Aji in between their conversation.

"really? How happy?"

Khairi seemed to think and said, "I have always expected Papa's presence. My friends always make fun of me for not having a papa. Mama always said that Papa was out of town looking for money for me. Later when Papa's money is a lot, just going home. Now that Papa's home, you won't have to go to town anymore, huh! I won't ask for any more toys, as long as Papa doesn't go to town. I don't mind not having toys, just being able to be my mom and dad, being able to go together wherever I want."

Aji's heart felt pinched, he had never been beside his wife and son. There must have been too much trouble they faced. He really felt more guilty. Had the man followed his heart, none of this would have happened.

"Aren't you going to come with Papa to town? We live there with Oma Nisa, Opa Roni, Oma Tia and Opa Harto. They must all miss Khairi and mama." Aji tries to persuade her son to come to town. If Khairi left, he was sure Asha would also want to come with him.

"Will you come with Papa to town?" asked Khairi innocently.

As a child who is accustomed to living with his mother, it will certainly be difficult for Khairi if he has to separate from the mother. That's why he asked first. If Asha did not leave, then she would also stay here and ask her papa to no longer go to the city to make money. The boy thought that even in the village there were also many men who worked as is. Her mother also already had a lot of money so, there was no need to go to the city anymore.

"Mama will definitely refuse so, Khairi must want to help Papa to persuade Mama. Wants, right?"

Khairi just nodded, for him as long as he could be together with his father and mother, he would do even though he did not know what really happened to his parents.

"Yes, now that Khairi sleeps first, want Papa to bacain the fairy tale?"

"Now, Pa. Mama also used to read stories to me every time she wanted to sleep."

Aji finally told a story that he had been horrified also when he was a child last night. After quite a while, the son finally fell asleep as well. He saw the face of the son who was so innocent and innocent. How much time he had missed, did not feel his son was this big.

While he was late in his daydream, it sounded that someone wanted to open the door. Immediately Aji closed his eyes, he wanted to know who was coming. If it was Asha, it would definitely drive her away so, it was better to just pretend to sleep for now. After all, the man was also very tired and wanted to rest first.

Meanwhile, the person who entered the room earlier was indeed Asha. He wants to see the state of the son and Aji, afraid that his son is uncomfortable. When he saw the two people sleeping while hugging, Asha's heart felt full. During this time Khairi only slept with him, even with Bik Ika the boy always refused.

Khairi always said she couldn't sleep if she didn't hug her mother, but look now, even the child is asleep in the arms of the man she just met today. Though they did not have a single blood tie, but their closeness seemed to say if they were indeed papa and child. Asha does not know what if Khairi finds out the truth someday, surely the boy will be disappointed.

This was also his fault for having given Khairi false hope. Had he said in the first place that if his father had died, he would have never expected this either. Now if you say something like that, it's too late. Khairi would definitely not believe it.

Moreover, the interaction of the boy earlier with Aji indicates if they know each other. It would definitely hurt his son more if he said so. Asha's gaze was fixed on Aji's face that looked sweaty, surely the man was not used to this house. Here there is also no AC, there is only a small fan that reduces hot air.

Asha also took the initiative to get a bigger fan so that Aji does not overheat. Without realizing the woman, her attention only makes Aji will not let go.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen Tiara asked her mother about the man who had just come, whether it was the father of Khairi or not. There is also Bik Ika.

"Mama doesn't know either, Mama doesn't know Khairi's father or any other family" replied Amira, then glanced at her mother who was silent with a blank look.

Tiara also coded her mother to ask the grandmother. Despite the doubts, Amira still ventured to ask, "Mom, is that really Khairi's father? You must know her, right? Because from that moment on, I just kept quiet when the man hugged Asha."

Bik Ika turned her head towards her son and granddaughter. Amira also has the right to know who Aji really is so that in the future they know what to do.

"Den Aji was indeed Neng Asha's husband, but I didn't know they were still husband and wife or not because when Neng Asha left, Den Aji had divorced her religiously, not knowing that the history of the law."

Amira just nodded, that was none of her business either. Asha can already think for herself about her future, let it be their business, but she clearly knows what they have to do with it.
