Aiden, a boy who has not even four years old was very happy with the arrival of Marcell, Daddy who he had longed for and dreamed now he can hug and he spoke.
"Daddy let's go into Aiden's room, Aiden will show you a lot of Daddy's unique toys" Aiden enthusiastically invited.
"Come" agreed Marcell.
"Mommy don't be in the middle of the door, Daddy and Aiden won't be able to come in" Aiden protested as Yasmin was standing right at the door.
"Sorry" said Yasmin, stepping to the side of the door. Aiden took Marcell into the tiny house.
Marcell feels comfortable in Yasmin's clean and tidy home, warmed up and happy to be in the right place and home with the right people.
"Daddy look, my toys are a lot" Aiden showed me some cars with remote controls, and then showed me some Dinosaur figures, as well as elephant figures. The little boy loved big animals.
"What a lot, who bought it?" Marcell tries to fuse with his son's world.
"Mommy bought him, but the big one was a gift from Jennie, when Aiden's birthday" Aiden told him.
"Who's Jennie?"
"Jennie is Oma, but Aiden calls her Jennie, she doesn't want to be called Oma or Grandma" Aiden said.
"Oh...."
"Daddy see, this one is new" Aiden showed the Mammoth figure, again Marcell was surprised to see his son so fond of the extinct ancient animal.
"You like this?" Marcell used to never be interested in this kind of animal figure toy.
"Yes I like it very much, but it's very expensive, Mommy won't buy it, thankfully Uncle Arthur bought it for me" Aiden said happily.
"Who is Uncle Arthur?" Marcell doesn't like to hear Aiden's story.
"Uncle Arthur, he's the guy who wants to be my Daddy"
"What?" shouted Marcell reflex. "Sorry" sided with Aiden's outstretched. "Try Aiden's story right"
"Uncle Arthur likes Mommy, but Mommy doesn't like Uncle Arthur. But Uncle Arthur never gives up on approaching Mommy and is always kind to Aiden" Aiden's explanation makes Marcell inflamed.
"Then, does Aiden like Uncle Arthur?"
"Of course Daddy, uncle Arthur always plays ball with me, he also often takes me for a walk, tells gifts and is good" he honestly said.
"So does Aiden prefer Uncle Arthur over Daddy?"
"No, Mommy said Daddy was Daddy, the only one and never to be replaced"
"Mom was right" Marcell smiled at the way Yasmin had educated her son.
"Yes Mommy is always right. Even Mommy forbade Aiden from getting angry at Daddy" the boy pursed his lips.
"Why angry at Daddy?" Marcell doesn't understand.
"Because Daddy sucks, why did he go to work until he forgot his way home?"
"Who said that?"
"Of course Mommy, Mommy said that Daddy went to work before Aiden was born, and forgot his way home, that's why Aiden was only able to meet Daddy when Aiden was this big"
"Ah, here's what "Marcell is.
"Other times if Daddy's college work gives Daddy's workplace address as well as his phone number, Mommy is very Pandau and not as crummy as Daddy" grumbled the little boy.
"Yes, all right, Daddy's sorry for forgetting the way home"
"I'm sorry, but Daddy has to take Aiden's punishment"
"Punishment?"
"Hem, Mommy said Aiden shouldn't be mad at Daddy, but he can punish Daddy"
"What is his punishment?"
"Tomorrow Aiden tell me" Aiden smiled filled with mystery.

"Mistress Helena" said Yasmin to Mama Helena and to get a warm embrace.
"You go a long way, dear" Mama Helena worked on Yasmin's gentle long mane. "We're like crazy people looking for your whereabouts" he said.
"I'm sorry" Yasmin said.
"Can we talk?"
"Sure Mistress"
"You don't call me Madam, call Mama, just like Marcell"
"Mama?"
"Yes, because you're my daughter"
Yasmin took Mama Helena for a walk in a small garden not far from her house, they sat on a wooden bench on the banks of the Loimijoki river.
"Mama's sorry for Marcell's treatment of Yas" said Mama Helena grabbing Yasmin's hand.
"I apologize for what Nyo....eh Ma? Marcell is innocent"
"Of course he's guilty of treating you that way, he's been in a married SEP relationship with you but not giving you any status, it's wrong and untrue"
"Then Yasmin was as guilty as Marcell, because Yasmin couldn't help herself" Yasmin lowered her head.
"It's not so then Mama Yas"
"I know what Mama meant, but it all started with Yasmin. The love grew since high school, although Yasmin knew that Marcell had changed since returning from abroad, but in the eyes of Yasmin Marcell was still Marcell. Nice, warm, friendly, caring without any blemish. That's what makes Yasmin willing to do anything to get her, Yasmine hopes sincerity and the magnitude of love in her heart is able to bring the old Marcell back, but apparently can not" Yasmin smiled bitterly reminiscing about her story with Marcell.
"So do you still love Mama's son?"
"That's...."
"Marcell also loves you Yas, he's a stupid Mama's kid who can't recognize his own feelings, and it took even two years for Marcell to realize that he loves you"
"What do you mean?"
"A few days after your departure, Marcell and Laura's engagement took place. But with the record that Marcell would have married Laura if he had already loved Laura, you know not if Marcell didn't love Laura back then?" Yasmin nodded confirming that at that time Marcell did not love Laura. "But after the engagement Marcell changed, and it was because of your departure from his side. He never thought about the fate of his engagement to Laura, until the two years of Laura and Marcell's relationship were no progress. And finally Marc broke off the engagement"
"But not Laura..."
"You're right, Laura loves Marcell so much and doesn't accept Marcell's decision. But by then Marcell already had you in his heart, that's why he couldn't love Laura, because you were in the recesses of his heart"
"But that's impossible"
"That might be a pity, and it's also a lesson to Marcell for treating you so badly, that by the time he realized his feelings, you were no longer by his side. Mama witnessed how frustrated she was to find your whereabouts"
"really?"
"Yes, Mama is not lying or deliberately talking this way just because you have a child from Marcell" he said.
"Ma..."
"Actually long before Mama set him up with Laura, Mama had asked Marcell about you. But that stupid kid doesn't acknowledge his relationship with you, and chooses to lie"
"You still love your son, don't you? you willing to be the wife of that stupid man? can Mama propose to your parents?" mama Helena's asking confused Yasmin, proposing? old folks? what should Yasmin say?.
