Just take him for you
Stranger

Space takes place right behind the driver, so he can see Salma sitting next to his driver.

"Ehem!" Space cleared while opening its top button.

"Hot, Sir?" Mr. Rokim, the private driver of Angkasa, frantically lowered the cooling temperature in the car.

"Ow no, lower it again" said Angkasa quickly. He did not want the woman sitting in the front seat frozen before arriving home.

"What area do you live in, Salma?" Armand leaned his body so that his chin almost stuck to the chair Salma was sitting on. The faces of the former couple were quite close together. Angkasa is worried that if his driver steps on the brake pedal, Armand's lips will touch Salma's cheeks.

"Eh, I'm sorry Mr. Armand we're on the road of danger sitting like that. Please use your seat belt." Space pulled Armand's shoulder back to its original position. The man complied even though he looked a little annoyed.

"My house is far away, usually I until the house is dark," said Salma slightly turned back, just then Angkasa gave the code with the blink of his eyes, "Oh, sorry sir, looks like I got off at the Persada Mall, my sister-in-law brought the kids to play there." Salma pretended to read the messages on her phone.

"Well, I happen to want to buy something there too." Armand smiled happily as Salma was able to quickly understand the message as well as the code it provided.

"What do you mean, how come it's a coincidence when I'm going to your place?" Armand stared suspiciously at Salma and Angkasa alternately.

"I don't know either, Mom. This is Mba Tia just said she's still at Persada Mall." Salma showed me her phone at a glance, "Are you seeing the kids or not?" salma asked as she looked at Armand's worried face.

"So" said Armand ketus. Salma and Angkasa tried to remain calm.

Arriving at the Persada Mall, Armand held back Angkasa's steps once the Asa production owner wanted to enter the Mall.

"We can go home by ourselves, sir. Later let us take a taxi online only," said Armand. His palm held Angkasa's chest away from Salma and himself.

"What does that mean?" Angkasa's eyes glanced sharply at the hand of Salma's ex-husband who touched his shirt.

"Pak Angkasa please go home or there may be other business in this Mall. I'm sorry, sir, not to be disrespectful and evict, but we want quality time for the family."

"Is that so, Salma?" The sound of the jaws of Angkasa muffled by the loud music from the loudspeakers on the Mall.

"Be polite, Mom!" It was not Angkasa who brushed off Armand's hand, but his ex-wife who pulled her hand from Space's chest.

"I'm being polite, Salma. Am I wrong to want to enjoy time with the kids like I used to?" Armand's hand turned to hold Salma's arm.

"Our time is over at the trial table, Mas!" Salma withdrew her hand furiously, "Now do you want to meet the children or not?" threaten Salma's.

Armand followed Salma's steps from behind. His head repeatedly turned towards the Space which was also following where they were going.

Seeing that sister-in-law was accompanying the twins playing at the center of the game, Salma sped up her pace.

"Mba, he's coming" Salma whispered before Armand approached her. Tia did not answer, not to look at Armand he was lazy.

Earlier when her sister-in-law sent a message to be ready immediately because it will be picked up by Angkasa employees to the Mall, Tia was about to protest and reject loudly. But after Salma explained her reason for bringing the twins out of the house, without thinking twice Tia immediately prepared as fast as lightning.

"Night, Mba Tia," said Armand.

"Night" said Tia flatly without looking at Armand.

"Where are Cakra and Candra?"

Noiseless Tia pointed towards the merry-go-round with her chin.

"Cakra ... Candraaa," Armand exclaimed as he waved his hand. The look on his longing face was very clear. Salma's heartache, never thought of him separating the child from his father.

The siren sounds, slowly the carousel movement slows down. Armand immediately approached the exit, his face excitedly welcoming his two children who were about to come out of the door of the game.

Space approached Salma, "How long have they not seen his father?"

"Maybe about a year."

"I think they should remember."

"Hopefully." Salma's heart was pounding like he would meet a special person.

"Cakraa, Candraaa, this is Papa, son." Armand crouched down with open arms. The twins just stood and looked at each other. As Armand took one step forward, they took a step back.

"Cakra, Candra, come here with Papa." Armand advanced closer and closer to his twin.

"Mama." Candra called out. He is confused as to what to do, while to reach Mama and her Tantenya, he must pass by the man who calls himself Papa.

"Mas, be patient they're still confused." Salma stopped Armand's steps and approached his two sons.

"Why jungles? Have you never taught them that I am the Father?"

"Should be my picture on the wall of your house, in your room and in your cell phone gallery. So that every time you travel like this, you can show them how the face of the papa."

Armand continued to nag while accompanying Salma's steps holding her two children. Each time Armand would take Candra's hand or Cakra from Salma's, the twins would reject him.

"Why do they know her Papa, if you never played her Papa?"

"Ow, you want me to be their Papa again, I totally agree with Salma," Armand said enthusiastically.

"They don't need your status, which they need a living" Salma said.

"Ow that, you ask how much I'll transfer." Armand's chin lifted, he did not want to look unable in front of Angkasa and his former brother-in-law.

"Everything is written in detail in the divorce lawsuit. Mas Armand please count for yourself, the total priesthood that Mas Armand must give to children since the hammer is pinned on the green table." Armand's throat was suffocating given the row of numbers he had never filled.

"Yes, lapaaar."

"Okay, let's eat." Salma's tense face loosened and came back cheerful when looking at the twins.

"When do you follow us?" Armand returned to block the steps of Space. He did not want the man to see his weakness as a father.

"I'm in charge of my company's artists."

"It's out of business hours, I'm sorry we're not comfortable with strangers, if we get together like this."

Salma turned around and approached the two men who were struggling. He was getting fed up with Armand's shameful behavior.

"Space is not a stranger, he's my future husband." Salma's hands were perfectly circular in Space's arms.
