Chapter.52

About an hour away, Melinda cheered happily because she had arrived in front of Ameera's house. With the capital asking Jimi address, do not forget Melinda also brought a variety of food for Ameera and Carnations. To eat together may soon be in the lunch hour.

"Melinda, be careful when you fall baby." Reprimand Laura, for seeing Melinda go down in haste.

"Sorry Grany" ringis Melinda.

Laura leads Melinda while Mario brings the food they bought, Laura knocks on the door of the Carnation house and also presses the bell of his house. It didn't take long, the door opened.

"Melinda," cried Ameera, she immediately ran out and hugged Melinda.

Laura smilingly looked at Ameera and Melinda, they were like sisters and sisters. Laura so remembered Yusra and Yumna, they often fight but when far away they miss each other yes that's sister brother.

"Tante, um." Sapa Carnation, answered nods by Mario and Laura.

"Let's go in aunty," asked Carnation, opening the door of his house wide. Carnations also take over the default that brought Mario in part.

"Kids come in, you play at home!" said Anyelir, without answering the question, the two girls went straight into the house and ran a little.

Ameera invites Melinda into her room, which is full of toys. Ameera and Carnation rooms have a connecting door but Ameera occupies the room only during the day, if at night she always sleeps with Carnation.

Ameera did not close the door completely, she opened a little to make it easier for Carnations to hear it.

"Well, your dolls are a lot of Meera" Melinda said, staring at the rows of dolls on the mattress.

"Yes, these are all gifts from the same mother Aunt Sekar. From my dad, it's just this,"

Ameera shows a stuffed rabbit, a pink gift from Axel on his first birthday. Melinda who saw Ameera's gloomy face, rubbed her back gently.

"Don't be sad, Meera, I don't have a mommy or a mommy. I'm a little dali, taken care of by daddy." Tell Melinda, now the two beautiful girls embrace each other.

Carnations that were behind the door, staring sadly at Melinda and Ameera. Then he knocked on the door, making their embrace separate.

"Mother" cried Ameera.

"Mother just deliver a drink," replied Carnation, put on a table near them play glass in use made of plastic. Also has a lid on it, so as not to spill if they are nudged then snacks such as biscuits and chocolate.

"Thank you mom." Ameera.

"Thank you too, aunt."

"Boy, baby, if you need anything. You can call me okay!"

"Ready," they exclaimed compactly, Carnations came out of the room and re-joined Mario and Laura.

They tell a lot of stories including, about the departure of Jenny after giving birth to Melinda.

"So for three years, Dika took care of Melinda herself?" ask Carnation.

"Yes, she's trying to take care of Melinda. Give enough affection, give the best to his son. Dika's days are not easy, she experienced the baby blues. It sounds weird, but it's there in fact. I as a mother always gave support to Dika at that time, Dela was there with her twin sons to give Asi to Melinda." Papar Laura wiped the corner of her eyes, she stared straight in remembrance as she accompanied Dika struggling to raise Melinda herself.

Carnation felt sad to hear Laura's story, at least she was grateful to still have Axel accompanying her to give birth. Taking care of Ameera until she was about a year old, Anyelir exhaled slowly to reduce tightness in his chest.

"If Jenny, has it wrong on you. Please forgive him Anyelir auntie know, you are kind and always forgiving." Laura said, Mario rubbed his wife's back to calm her down.

"I've forgiven her aunt, hopefully Jenny will be forgiven all her sins." The Carnation Prayer, approved by Laura.

They could hear the crisp laughter of Melinda and Ameera, Laura told Anyelir that after lunch they would go home. But if Melinda refuses, Laura leaves Melinda here until Dika picks her up.

"Melinda complained of boredom, because the twins had been brought home. If there are any of them, hemm... You'll never know. How noisy the twins were, "cuckles Laura, making Anyelir laugh too.

"Yes aunty, no problem. I'm glad Melinda so Ameera has a friend" said Anyelir.

Laura asked Carnation to tell her story, as long as she stayed away from Dika. And happily, Carnations recounted it that day Laura spent half her day telling stories with Carnations. While Mario became a listener, occasionally responding to the words of the women.

Melati also continues to try to contact Arjuna number, but when going back to call the number is not active. Melati also cursed Arjuna.

"Look, I'll make your relationship tenuous." Melati smiled cynically.

"Reen," muttered Arjuna.

"Yes what's wrong?" ask Reen.

"Ka Reen crying?" Ceilo got up from his seat, and standing before Reen he wiped away the tears. Which flows on Reen's cheeks, from Rakai and Ceilo, only Ceilo is sweet even though his face is too flat.

"Well, ka Reen is just a flickering baby." Reply Reen smiled, looking at the handsome face of the boy from his uncle.

"Ka Reen can't lie to me, I'm the cleverest among the Lakai. Even though he's my brother" Ceilo said, making Reen smile.

"You're good at praising yourself, it must be your appreciation from your mother right." Kekeh Reen, Ceilo just put his shoulder out. Then he chose to draw again, after seeing Reen smile and start accompanying him to draw.

"Don't pout dong, the beauty will be gone." Tempted Carnation, but Melinda still pouted making Ameera giggle amused.

"But the bad aunt, I don't want permission to stay here." Melinda protested, staring at Ameera trying to find a defender. But Ameera was still too small to be sensitive, things like that she instead looked at Melinda with her innocent face.

"Darling... Not aunty, don't give permission, you haven't told me your daddy baby. Grany didn't say that you wanted to do it. Just say daddy you want to pick up this afternoon," said Anyelir, looking at Melinda who was thinking.

"Can I borrow aunt's phone?"

"Can." Carnation gave her phone, Melinda who could already read a little she was looking for Dika's name.

"Hallo daddy," cried Melinda ketus, after her call was lifted by Dika.

While Dika across there, staring at the name on the screen of his phone.

"This is Carnation's number, why is Melinda's voice?" ask Dika to yourself.

"Daddy... Daddy, did daddy hear me?" ask Melinda.

"Daddy baby listen, but this is really you baby?"

"Yes, who else is daddy's son? It's just me" Melinda said.

"Okay, I'm sorry daddy son! What's up?"

"Daddy can I stay at Ameera's?"

Dika was silent on the other side, making Melinda impatient. And crying in the end, made Dika panic.

"Darling don't cry, daddy's coming home soon." Said Dika.

"I don't want to go home daddy, I want to be with Ameera." Isak Melinda, Anyelir also tried to calm Melinda.

"Okay, now give me the same phone as Aunt Anyelir. Daddy wants to talk" Dika said.

Melinda also gave her phone to the Carnations, Dika also spoke to the Carnations to allow Melinda stay one night only. And promised to pick up Melinda in the morning.

"I don't mind Dika, I see Melinda's a good boy."

"Alright Anye, thank you. If she's fussy, please call me" Dika asked.

"Yes," said the Carnation, then Dika turned off his phone call. Make Carnations exhale slowly.

He touched his thumping chest, quickly his feelings were still the same. Never changed to Dika, Anyelir also told Melinda that Dika gave permission. Making Melinda cheer happy, she kissed Carnations and thanked the smiling Carnations staring at Melinda.
