Jeon Appa
The After 6 years

After 6 years..

After 6 years have passed. Ahra has now grown to be bigger than before, being a sweet child who is very smart to talk, walk, run, even ask about many things. To the extent that Jeon sometimes confused how to answer his daughter's questions, such as questions about adult things that he thought Ahra could not know.

Jeon really took care of the daughter he found 6 years ago very well.

Initially Jeon was certainly very difficult when first taking care of Ahra until finally he decided to work on a baby sitter, she said, without worrying about how the neighbors think about Jeon who brought a baby when he was not married, unmitigated he never even felt ashamed even though he was not married while taking care of Ahra and taking Ahra for a walk everywhere. Jeon was happy since Ahra was present in his life, the little boy was so innocent, funny, and sweet. Jeon never regretted taking care of the baby.

Ahra had just come out of her room, walking unsteadily towards the dining table like a child who had just woken up from her sleep and was still in a sleepy state. But Ahra was so incredibly smart and so good, she had gotten used to waking up on her own to go to school without Jeon having to wake her up again like a few months ago, the beginning of Ahra starting to enter school. The daughter had to be persuaded many times with food until finally wanted to go to school, somehow it became a really pleasant experience for Jeon.

Jeon has really learned a lot when it comes to caring for children.

"What do you want for breakfast? Dear. Appa will make it for you." asked Jeon while checking the cabinet, see what groceries he can prepare for Ahra's breakfast.

Ahra just sat sweetly by the side of the chair she used to sit on the dining table. "Gee!" call Ahra while waiting for Jeon. His voice sounded a little lethargic unlike usual who was always enthusiastic and so cheerful.

"Nde?" Jeon eventually finds pasta and instant sauce in the cabinet, picks it up and then intends to cook it only. "What about pasta?" ask Jeon.

Ahra nodded "Nde. Whatever I like." Ahra replied, but Jeon felt Ahra was not excited today since her daughter's voice sounded so lethargic.

"Eumm.. What's with princess Appa today?" Jeon tried to ask sweetly even though he was a little anxious because he knew his daughter was a very active and cheerful child.

Ahra shakes. "Appas. Can I ask you a question?"

Jeon frowned for a moment guessing what Ahra was going to ask and guessing that was what had caused Ahra to lose her spirit, a little back stiffened because usually Ahra will ask something that will make him back dizzy to look for an answer that is right and appropriate for children his age.

"Well, ask me whatever you want to ask, baby. Appa will try to answer." Jeon said

"Did Ahra have a mother?" tanya Ahra suddenly made Jeon's hand movements stop when she was just about to blame the stove fire.

Jeon was stunned for a moment, is that as smart as Ahra now?. To be able to ask his mother, honestly this was feared Jeon from a long time ago until he always thought of the right reason to answer this kind of question someday. But did not expect Ahra to ask that so quickly.

Jeon smiled at Ahra who looked at her as if she were hoping, but the water on her face showed sadness. Jeon breathed. "Of course you have!" just answer Jeon.

Ahra's eyes immediately sparkled when she heard it. "Certainly appa?"

Jeon nodded, confirming, of course, Ahra had a mother just that Jeon did not know who Ahra's real mother was, thinking Jeon's hands were still good at preparing the ingredients, cut the onions and boil the paste. "Gr.."

"Then, where is Eomma?"

Listlessly. Ahra lost her spirit again. "So you don't know where eomma is?" ahra asked again as if to conclude by himself, the boy was already really smart to assume.

Alright this time Jeon will try to be a little honest, though not completely. "Yes, Appa doesn't know it." Jeon said. "But Ahra, Appa promises to find your eomma's whereabouts." and also your real family. Jeon had a monologue in his mind.

Ahra smiled hearing that, "then how now is ahra going to celebrate mother's day at school?" ahra's question again made Jeon silenced a thousand languages.

Yes, Jeon had forgotten about it.

When he was a child and attended school Jeon never once participated in the celebration of mother's day, he was accustomed to growing up without a mother figure, there was only a caregiver who always took care of him all this time, met all his needs, and all his needs, he was very happy, but not with a mother's affection, Jeon never felt that way.

Seeing Ahra now being reminded of her of those times, was very similar, only Ahra now had herself as a single parent. Jeon is even ready to be a 24-hour mother figure guarding Ahra, Jeon is very fond of Ahra, even though Ahra is not her biological child.

Has Jeon really been a good parent to Ahra?

Jeon always asked himself if he had been a good father to Ahra, because Jeon himself could not imagine a day if Ahra was no longer with him, or Ahra met her real family. Will he be able to lose Ahra by then. But he has promised to find out who Ahra's real mother is.

Jeon left his cooking and walked closer to Ahra, kneeling down to align himself with Ahra who was sitting in his chair, Ahra herself just fell silent and looked at the movements of Jeon who was now starting to caress her hair so gently, with a loving Jeon smile looking at Ahra, her sweet little daughter.

"Isn't there still appa?. What if Appa comes to your school?" jeon grasped both hands of his daughter, giving strength so that her daughter would no longer feel sad, informing her indirectly that she would always be with him.

Ahra was confused and did not understand. "Can it be so, appa being my eomma too?" ahra asked in astonishment.

Jeon nodded enthusiastically. "Of course!. Appa is also your eomma!, appa will double to eomma for you as well." Jeon replied with emphasis so that Ahra did not doubt the answer.

Ahra smiled hearing that. "So ahra can celebrate mother's day?" ahra asked back, his eyes sparkling again.

"Can!. Very well!. Celebrate with appa. Ahra understand?" jeon's answer has always been so sweet just for his daughter.

Hugging Jeon so happily ahra did, so tightly because she felt happy when she could celebrate mother's day like her other friends, ahra was so happy. "Appa is the best. I love appa. My best app!" rapal Ahra continued to express his affection for Jeon.

Won't we?. Isn't Jeon a good father to ahra?.

"Nde. Appa is very dear to ahra."
