It's Happier After Divorce
4. Trying to Forget Sadness

I stared sadly at the face of my limp son was not excited because on Father's day, My husband as Papa did not come.

"Where are you, Mum?" I murmured worriedly. "You shouldn't do this to your son, your own flesh and blood!" I want to feel like I'm crying. My husband really killed me slowly. But for the sake of my son, I tried to eliminate all this turmoil.

"Event opening dance participants, please come forward!" the voice of the event leader was already shouting from the front.

I looked at my Princess, now it was her turn and her four friends to dance. "Audrey, Papa's coming soon, baby. Come on, it's your turn."

Audrey walked with a limp body. No happiness was created on his face.

"Mas Dimas, come quickly. God give me your miracle!" I prayed as Audrey advanced.

I recorded my son's performance, among his four dancing friends, only Audrey did not smile. My dear child, my poor child, how evil it is that your father disappoints your best daughter. This time my heart was crying.

Not that I told Audrey's wish to Mas Dimas. The Dimas was not present.

Audrey and her friends performed the dance, so many clapped and recorded the performance.

My son got off the stage, I immediately hugged and carried his tiny body. "Your looks are great, honey!" I said spirit.

Audrey is not as excited as I am. My son kept watching around. It was as if he was looking at whether there was his Papa in this hall.

"Have you come yet, Ma?" ask Audrey.

For whatever reason, I don't know what to answer. My answer would be a lie because I didn't know if Dimas would come or not. Three times I have lied to my daughter, I do not want to increase my sin by lying the fourth time.

"We'll just wait, baby," I whispered softly.

Audrey only presents dance. The rest of us became spectators. My son is getting weak and sad. I'm grateful Audrey didn't have much behavior.

If another child would make a fuss when her wishes were not achieved, Audrey would not act out. Audrey sat next to me and tried to be patient. I put patience in my son's heart. 'Patient people will reap much abundance and grace'. That's what I said.

But with a case like this, I as his parents did not dare to prove it.

My hug, kiss, and bribe was done with me. I have also informed his teacher, and allowed.

On the road, it rained. Audrey and I walked and carried umbrellas. Intentionally, Audrey I carried so as not to get wet because her body was only 110 cm high. My son stared at the road in front of him blankly.

"Papa did not come, Mama," said my son sadly. This time her tears came out despite a drop.

My chest is tight to see my son's sadness. If only you knew son, Mama also sad your papa did not keep his promise. But I don't want to add to Audrey's mind burden by confiding in her.

Suddenly I ran, it made her surprised then asked, "Why run Ma?" audrey's voice panicked.

"We're playing rain yuk?" I asked while closing the umbrella that had previously blocked the rain from drenching us.

"Can you?" audrey was confused.

I nodded, "Well, baby!"

We ran and played with water as the rain soaked the earth.

The memory of her papa who did not come to her school event seemed to have Audrey forget little by little.

"Catch this, baby!" I threw the water in my hand.

"Well, Ma ... Zzzz is cold!" he shivered after getting water that hit his body.

Until the rain was not as hard as it was and the rest of the speck.

I'll stop all this immediately. "After that, we go straight home."

Audrey nodded. An hour of rainwater play makes my child's lips pale. But the fun can't be separated from his chubby face.
