He's my son, not my brother

He's my son, not my brother
My son and father are the same


"Friend Naina? Is Daniel Naina's coworker in the office?" Ask Mom.


Daniel nodded. "Yes. I'm Naina's coworker at the office, Auntie." Reply with a smile.


"Oh..." Mother nodded in understanding.


"Don't Danteng want to see Zel for what?" Ask Zeline.


"It just so happened that Brother passed by and saw Zel. So I just want to get to Zel." Reply Daniel.


"Want to buy maltabak?" Ask Zeline.


"No. Brother just wants to see Zel."


"What does Tatak miss with Zel?" Zeline asked with a shy smile.


"Looks like. Big Brother misses Zel's funny face so much that Big Brother chose to stop." Daniel stroked his daughter's hair with affection.


"Yes, yes..." Zeline's still shy in the boat.


"Zeline..." Mother made a shudder look at the behavior of her grandson.


Daniel smiled.


The martabak seller's voice telling me that Mom's order is done makes their conversation stop.


"Let me pay for it, ma'am." Daniel said as he watched Mom pull out the wallet in her bag. And without waiting for Mother's answer, Daniel immediately stepped towards the martabak seller. The mother who wanted to prevent him also abandoned her intention because Daniel had already paid for his martab order.


"Don't listen to Mom." Zeline said while looking at Daniel who was paying martabak.


*"Yes. That brother was either very handsome or could be said to be handsome." Reply to the mother who also acknowledges the good looks of Daniel. His face was getting handsome with his dark silver eyes. Continue the mother in heart. Eye color? Mother spoke back to her heart. Then look back where Zeline was singing. Why is it so similar to Zeline's eye color? *Mother widens both of her eyelids. And a moment later his chest skipped a beat. What don't-don't? His head then shook his head at what was in his current thinking.


"This is Aunt's order." Daniel handed me a box of martabaks.


"Thank you, Daniel. Next time don't bother." Reply mom felt sad.


"Having..." Zeline who was still sitting on the motorbike was made to blink to look at Daniel's face.


Daniel who listened to his daughter's funny words widened his smile. "Do you like handsome men?" Ask Daniel.


Zeline quickly nodded. "Like.." reply later.


Daniel made a shudder.


"I'm sorry Zeline spoke so carelessly, son of Daniel. Zel didn't even understand what a handsome man was like. He just talks." Mom said, then stroked her grandson's hair.


"No problem, Auntie. Anyway Zel said it right, Auntie." Reply to Daniel with confidence.


Hearing Daniel's words made Mother hold back her smile. Why are they both the same. Mother's inner speech is not out of thought.


"Yes. It's true that Daniel's son is handsome." Reply I don't want to break Daniel's confidence.


Daniel smiled stiffly aware of his stupid attitude.


"Then we say we go home, son Daniel.." said Mother.


"Yes Mom..." Zeline put on a look of disapproval of what her mother said.


"Next time we can meet the princess again." Said Daniel as if he understood that his daughter did not want to part with him.


"Asik.. play at Zel's house!" Bring Zeline.


"alright. Sis will visit Zeline's house sometime." Daniel's reply made Zeline smile with pleasure.


Mom then climbed back up on her bike and wrapped Zeline's hand around her waist. "Hold the strong, yeah." Mother's orders were taken by Zeline. The motor began to drive away leaving Daniel who was silent in his place while staring at the departure of Mother Fatma and Zeline.


Why do I feel like there's something weird about that guy? Mother's mind while staring at her rearview mirror.
