That night Brielle accidentally missed Leonardo's call. Up to get a call more than ten times was not answered, even piled up in notifications, call history. The next morning Brielle said good morning and said she was busy, just by message. The rest, no longer answering messages from Leonardo until the man tried to call him this afternoon.
Naomi who saw the movements of Brielle from night and now is still furious, and did not like the decision of her best friend was then reprimanded. "If you can, don't ignore it like last night. You seem to keep your distance."
"If not now, when will it be?" ask Brielle who stares at the buyer's notebook, ordering flowers and some plants like cacti. "When I go out of town, I can use it, why delay?"
"Please, put your feelings on."
"You too, use your feelings ... would you be more heartened to see Leonardo living with me without love?"
"Leonardo's happiness is only you, Elle! Understand that one important thing, so get married!"
Brielle was really confused by the contents of her best friend's brain. If Naomi loved Leonardo, why didn't she get married? "Why did you force me to marry her if you loved her yourself?! Your feelings for her are greater than mine for your ex, so marry her! Don't force me to do this kind of crazy thing!" his stranglehold furiously, even Brielle kept her distance by shifting her body.
The door that rang, followed by the bell that rang made the two turn to the source of the sound. Apparently there are customers coming in. "Good day, welcome," Brielle and Naomi said, no coincidence. Naomi who approached and began to serve him, asked the needs of a pair of people.
As soon as she glanced at the watch and the needle was about to show at one o'clock, Brielle picked up her bag. A brief pamphlet on Naomi to pick up Elnathan from PAUD. Looking for a taxi online through the app, five minutes later Brielle got it and was approached by a four-wheeled vehicle. Come in and get his little whiz.
Arriving there, Elnathan accompanied by his educator. Thank you and quickly take Elnathan away because there is no way he would let the store owner serve the customer alone. Besides the task is also not finished, there are orders that must be sent later in the afternoon, which is why Brielle must check again. It was not until fifteen minutes that Brielle and Elnathan arrived and the three-year-old ran to the toilet to urinate.
Seeing Brielle's unfriendly gaze, it made the atmosphere slightly hot. "Es cream during the day like this must be delicious," he murmured, which was heard by Elnathan who had just come out of the toilet. Elnathan reflexes, and it makes Brielle turn to her son who nods in front of Naomi.
I don't know what Naomi whispered to him, Brielle's baby was excited and ran quickly towards him. "Mama ... Can you, no, El join Aunt Mi?" The plain-clothed, knee-length black shorts with white shirts and sunglasses perched on his nose looked as if he had a very pleading expression. Brielle immediately glanced briefly at Naomi, the woman waiting for her beside the shop door, her best friend smiling little. "Can, Mam?"
He who was busy taking notes on the orders of the customers of the florist and rereading, suddenly turned his eyes away from the paper and scribbles of his own hands. "Where is Aunt Naomi going?" tanyanya, who did not look at Naomi, just turned to the handsome Elnathan begging her full.
"Buy ice, Mama."
Nodding softly, the long-haired woman in a sheer length of a foot dress then rubbed Elnathan's head. "May, but El can't drink much. Just drink enough, because Mama doesn't want El to cough, okay?"
An immeasurably excited expression adorned the three-year-old boy. "okay!" Raising his hand and sticking it out at Brielle and smilingly saying, "congratulations, Mam." The mother also published a happy twinkle and was proud of the courtesy of her son. "Da, Ma!" she added after Brielle had a brief peek at her forehead.
"It's safe." He was holding Elnathan's left hand. "We go first!" Brielle nodded without smiling broadly as Naomi pointed out.
Just a short walk away, the distance from them to the ice cream and waffle shop that both visited was no more than five hundred meters. Elnathan looked sparkling, as well as Naomi who also just knew that this new store was able to invite many people. Some of the tables there were even filled with human partners. From school children, office employees, and some families also enliven the not-so-small shop.
"Elnathan sat there, Auntie Mi order her ice cream first."
"Yes, Auntie Mi," she responded according and swung her foot to the spot Naomi had pointed at. The boy continued walking slowly, until he finally reached the wooden seat. In front of him was a round table, as well as a wooden chair like the one he was sitting on. The three-year-old took off his sunglasses and looked at Naomi who was walking towards him.
Not yet sitting, Naomi felt her shoulders being patted from behind. It was there that a tall figure in pure white and a little similar to Elnathan stared at him. "Hah-hello, Leonathan! How are you?" he said while shaking the hand of a neat-looking man, a white shirt with black pants.
"Well .. who is he?" it was obvious that the question led to Elnathan looking at him.
"O-oh, meet .. This is my niece, her name .. her name is El."
Naomi quickly sat down before Elnathan and took El's right hand. He smiled and asked, "El, meet .. This is Auntie Mi's friend, her name is Leonathan." Without rebutting, Elnathan stretched out his hand towards Leonathan and quickly a wide smile expanded on the adult man's lips.
"You're so handsome" said Leonathan, who thanked Elnathan. Not wanting to let go of his hand to Elnathan, he raised the body of the three-year-old boy who was none other than his own flesh and blood.
Seeing Elnathan being carried away, Naomi could not hold back her pair of wide-eyed eyes. "Great!" his stranglehold was deep when Leonathan who had been holding Elnathan was peeping the smiling boy's forehead happily. "What if Brielle sees this scene?! Die me!" Then the three were surprised by the arrival of the woman who gave the order of Naomi and Elnathan. "Well, the ice cream's coming, El! Come on, let's go home."
Elnathan glanced back at Leonathan who stroked his hair. "El go home, Om." The understanding Leonathan sent down Elnathan from his sling.
"Sorry, I'm busy .. happens to be very crowded shop, next time we can chat again." Both Naomi and Elnathan nodded. However, Naomi tried to cover up her shock with a happy smile as well as waved her hand. Hurriedly turning his body, he held Elnathan tightly.
"It's the same name as El, Auntie Mi."
"Who?"
"Om handsome," said Elnathan before licking a chocolate-flavored vanilla bean cone in his right hand.
