Message to Nila

In the end, Nila would not want to believe also that I am the Papa. The words of Amir and Nunik also made your daughter speech silent.

After meeting Nunik, Nila kept quiet on our way home. As soon as I got to the front of the house, I asked Mark to go inside first. While I talked to Nila for a while.

It should be said that even talking is actually not appropriate as well. Because I talk more often. Nila just kept listening.

I was sitting in the seat right behind her and then shifted a little to the left, so I could see the reflection of Nila du's face in the front rearview mirror.

I see his face looking deeply.

"Nil, thank you for taking me to meet Nunik. Today's incident became a good moment that can happen to me since I was revived as Aro," I said.

"From this meeting with Nunik, I don't want to force you to acknowledge me as Papa, Nile. That's not what I'm expecting the most right now.."

"It is better to wish that you, Mark, Nila, and also all those I know and still live to this day, would accept my presence again at this time, Nile. I love you guys. As someone who is attached to me in my previous life.."

"You don't have to call me 'Papa'. Like Mark who sometimes idly calls me with the name 'Papa'. You can still call me by my name directly, as you usually say so far.. I promise I won't be upset about something as trivial as this nickname, Nile.I'm definitely not that petty.."

"Just accept my presence in your lives. As someone who has loved your mother with all his heart.. Because that's the reality." I said ending my monologue in the car.

Lu wait for Nila to give a glance at the speech earlier. And Nila did reply to my words in the end.

"Early. Okay. Alright. Although this maish is hard for me to accept, Lan. I mean.."

"It's okay, Nile. Call me Erlan is fine. Really!" My words cut off Nila's words.

"OKAY. Erland.."

Pause for a moment. Until then Nila resumed her speech again.

"Although this is still very difficult for me to accept, plausibly, in my opinion.. But, I will trust the judgment of Uncle Amir, Aunt Nunik and also..Mama about you, Lan," Nila said right into my eyes straight through the rearview mirror.

I nodded briefly. Accept that response.

"Yes. It's okay if you need time to accept all this, Nile. I'll keep waiting for you. Because somehow I promised your late mother." I commented later.

"What promise is that, Lan?" Ask Nila.

I brought back Nila's eyes to meet in the front rearview mirror, before finally answering with a clear voice and also loud.

"Promise to take care of you until you meet your happiness, each one" I said straightforwardly.

Nila held my gaze for a split second. Before finally his ordinance bowed.

"What does that mean? You want to be a security guard for me and Mark?" Mumbled Nila commented.

"ck.ck.ck.." I chuckled.

So similar to her every comment made by Nila with her Mama's babbles first. So funny and adorable!

"Why laugh? You're hurting me, aren't you?!" Amuk Nila with narrowed eyes.

"God.orry. Excuse me. That's not what I mean. ahem!"

"The point of my promise is that until you and Mark find the best partner who can love and make you happy, my promise will finally break even in the end," I explained.

Nila's gaze suddenly turned sad. And I know where the source of his grief came from.

"I'll obviously just always think of you and Mark as my son, Nile. Looking at you, it will always remind me of Laila, your Mama.."

"So, find someone nice and love you simply. He who can love you in whatever condition you will be. also still love you in joy and sorrow," said I advise Nila.

"You mean, like your love for Mama?" Ask Nila slowly.

I was embarrassed at once too.

"Well, it could be like that. Eemm. but, actually I see you don't have to be busy looking anymore, Nil. I know a man who really loves you," said I arrived-riba.

Nila raised one of her eyebrows. The omen asked who the man I meant.

And I answered directly at that moment.

"Labib? Why don't you consider her feelings, Nile? I think, for a woman, it would be better if she lived with someone who loved her, than to live with someone she loved but didn't love.."

"Why is that?" Tanya Nila looked curious.

"Because loving is exhausting, Nile. You must hope that without knowing it will be reciprocated with the same feeling or not. You have to do whatever it takes to make the one you love happy. That's a hassle, "my honest comment.

"And as your Papa, I don't want you to bother like that. Just let Labib continue to linger in love with you, Nil," my next message to Nila.

Hearing my message, Nila gave me a smile.

"Hihi.. don't tell me, you also experienced her while loving Mama, Lan?" Ledek Nila joked.

I put my shoulders down while nodding small.

And that's how my relationship with Nila started.

Even though we cannot establish a proper relationship between children and parents. But in my opinion, the friendship between us is also the best that can happen.

I can be accepted in the lives of my children at this time alone is the greatest gift that can happen in my second life. In this way, I don't really feel abandoned by those I care about.

That afternoon Nila went straight to her house again. When I asked him to stay the night, he commented like this,

"Don't want to! Still embarrassed to meet the future stepmom. If my heart is better prepared, Pa!" jokingly with a joke.

At first, I did not understand who Nila meant by the future stepmother. But then Nila herself explained it to me.

"You too, Lan. Don't be busy thinking about my happiness and Mark. Think about your own happiness. If indeed the woman can make you happy, I'm willing to establish a serious relationship with her," said Nila with a steadfast smile.

I was amazed to hear his words. A face suddenly appeared in my mind finished I saw the car carrying Nila was long gone.

Carina.. I think she was the woman that Nila meant.
