Love That (No) Blind
The Extra Part 5

[Games]

That day, Agam became agitated for hours. He was confused and did not know how. It all started when Sara asked him to do something unusual for the first time. It all started this morning.

#

“Let's help Mas pick up Gia at school, huh?”

Huh huh? Get Gia?

It was not her habit to pick up Gia. What usually is Sara who picked up the princess just the wayangnya. But why is this all of a sudden Sara asks him to pick up Gia?

“Mama's therapy today may be a bit long. So it seems a bit slow to pick up Gia. Pity that Gia waited a long time, Mas.”

But ...

“Mas is working from home today. So you can pick up for a minute,” pinta Sara again.

The problem is not that ...

“A-can't the driver just pick up?,” asked Agam.

“Do not, Mas. Usually after school, I take Gia to eat. Sometimes ice cream, sometimes cake, like him usually. Please yes, Mas ..” Sara now welcomes him.

Not want to ...

“Sara ... that, what .. can you ask Lala please?,” ask Agam.

Sara sighed slowly. He stopped making the bed that he had been working on. Then embrace the waist of the husband who clearly looks agitated.

“What's up?,” asked Sara half-whispering.

Sara's head kept looking up at Agam, waiting for his answer. In the image that her two indistinct eyes captured, she could still see Sara's smile, like a sun dotting her dark space.

Agam's hand slowly touched Sara's face. He rubbed with his thumb. “I'm afraid Gia will be embarrassed in front of her friends for having a Dad like me.”

“Why should Gia be ashamed?” Sara did not laugh at all when she said that. Agam was ready if Sara laughed.

“You know how I am, Sara? My feet are not normal. My path is still limping,” Agam explained. “Gia just entered school. What if he gets laughed at? He can't have friends. All excommunicating. Like, like ..”

“Means Mas, me?”

“Sorry,” replied Agam then with regret. “Yuda once sent me a story about your past. About how you were in school. About your childhood. I've only known since.”

Sara's hand now invites herself to sit on the bed. He held Agam's hand gently, and said, “Mas knows right, that Gia is very dear to her father?”

Little laughter just came out of his lips. He knew very well how his little daughter was. Arya couldn't even change Gia's opinion if she was comparing them.

“That's different, Sara.”

“Sama dong, Mas,” says Sara defends herself. “Where did Gia go that she was proud of was only her father. Yesterday at the birthday party of his son Mas colleagues, he proudly told me that his father could make robots with his peers there. In the hospital is also if fit again nemenin Mama. Duh, the babble father, father, ayyaaahh mulu. Her mother only got her silver lining.”

Agam even laughed off.

“If we go to the mall, in the office, where aja deh, Gia wants only to be taken or if not carried with the same Mas. Where is Gia ashamed of her father?”

Sara's right. Gia never cared about it at all.

“On my childhood first, how was it?” Sara laughed even though it was just a small laugh. “Not everyone can accept the shortcomings of others. Back then .. I was surrounded by those kind of people.”

Sara clasped Agam's hand tightly. However, the softness is still felt.

“But here, trust me, Mas. No one will laugh at him,” Sara said.

“If there is,” Sara continued again. “Gia more fierce than them.”

I laughed hearing it. He recalled the time Gia had a fight in the playground mall. When Agam asked her to speak, the little girl told him she was angry about being ridiculed ugly. Gia warned him twice. Exactly the third time, Gia grabbed her hair. Sara was in shock not playing when it happened.

How not shock? It was the first time Gia had acted so impulsively.

“Iya, similar to the bundle.”

“Enak. Teach Ava it.”

It was true that Ava taught him.

If Ava says, “Let no one dare disturb Gia.”

"Thank you" he said softly. "Thank you for giving birth to Gia."

Agam kissed Sara's head again. This time, he put his head there. "Thank you for educating Gia to be that gentle."

Sara returned Agam's embrace. He said, "All because of Me too. Thank you for being such a great father to Gia."

Agam smile. I became great in Gia's eyes because of you.

And here is Agam, in the pre-school waiting room where Gia went to school, where there were already many parents waiting there.

His feelings are mixed. For the moment no one knows him. Obviously, this was the first time he had picked up Gia after a month of her attending school. But as soon as everything comes out, so does Gia, her daughter will surely run up to her, and that's when everyone will recognize her.

Those are the moments that Agam feared.

But before that happens, Agam has to get through this one first.

“The father Gia, yes?,” asked one of the mothers who were also waiting in the waiting room.

Nervously, Agam nodded. In his heart he screamed, you know?

“Yes, similar, yes?”

“That's very similar to Gia. Her father is handsome, her son is beautiful.”

“The mother is also beautiful, kok.”

“Duh, pleased. I finally saw Gia's dad. Usually only see from hape.”

From one mother to another. Everyone began to swarm Agam who had been nervous now became shocked by everything the mothers did.

Luckily, the bell rang after that. Gia came out and was immediately confused looking for someone who usually picked her up.

Agam who was still mobbed by mothers, raised his arms high, then exclaimed, “Gia! Gia!”

Gia who was so looking at her father instantly changed her temper. His smile is wide. “Ayyaah!!”

The mothers who swarmed Agam immediately separated themselves, giving way to Gia who was running towards Agam.

Agam immediately carried her and kissed her.

“Duh, so sweet.” As soon as the mothers commented. But after that, they disperse, letting Agam and his daughter.

“Mother does not lie. He said later to go home from school Daddy would pick up,” said Gia.

“Mother?”

Gia instantly covered her mouth with her two tiny hands. “Ups!”

I immediately understood what was going on here.

This is both of their plans. Wait, yeah. Look at it tonight, Sara.

“Today Gia wants to eat what?,” asked Agam.

“Es cream!,” cheer Gia glee.

At least, their little lies made Agam know one thing, that his worries were gravely wrong.

[Sara]

“Mother, how come you never take Gia to school, anyway? Gia's friends were picked up by her father, Gia no,” said Gia who had been seen pouting in the morning.

“Going to school later, Gia wants to be picked up by Dad?,” asked Sara who was trying to comfort her daughter.

Gia nodded her head repeatedly.

“But, don't tell me this is Mother's idea, yes.”

And what happened next was that both of their little fingers were already clinging to each other and with a smile their wide grin.
