My Babysitter, My Ex-Love
A Rose For Lyra

...CHAPTER 23...

...A Breadful of Roses for Lyra...

The next day...

"Key... Keyl... Papa's coming home, baby.." Raffa called his daughter after entering the house.

That afternoon, Raffa came home early. He wants to invite Keyla to meet Lyra at his store like he promised yesterday, maybe that way Keyla will come back cheerful.

While in the office, Raffa did not stop thinking about his little girl. At the moment Raffa wants to spend more time with him.

"Where's Keyla?" his question was to Bi Sumi who was busy arranging the food at the table for their lunch.

"Oh the Non, again the same Mrs Den is behind the fish pond" he replied.

After many hours Ambar found it difficult to persuade his grandson to come down and have breakfast. Ambar had to buy a new fish first in order to please his grandson. Keyla really likes fish

"Thank you Bi."

Raffa rushed to the back of his house and saw his daughter with the woman who had given birth to him standing next to the fish pond. Ambar was surprised to see his son coming and slowly walked up to him.

"Raffa, what's the news until you get home this afternoon?" tanyanya.

Raffa smiled and rubbed his mother's back gently.

"Today Raffa deliberately went home during the day Bun, want to take Keyla for a walk" he said. Keyla who heard the voice of her father looked back.

"Repo!" Keyla who was busy feeding the fish immediately stopped him and ran towards Raffa. Hugged his father's stomach tightly.

"Darling, let's get ready. We're going to Aunt Rara's shop now." Raffa said. Keyla took off her embrace and looked up, wide-eyed.

"Now Pah?!" ask Keyla.

"Yes dear." said Raffa with a big smile.

Keyla rounded her eyes. A smile also rose on her small lips, with a twinkle of eyes full of haru. Keyla was happy that her father had not broken his promise to take her to Lyra.

Keyla ran quickly to her room to change clothes. He can't wait to see his nanny.

"Are you sure you're going to see Lyra? Didn't you say her mother forbade you to meet again." lontar Ambar was surprised to hear Raffa who would invite Keyla to see Lyra again.

Raffa sat on the porch chair behind his house, looking softly at the rose plant in front of him. Flower plants are always Ambar care every day with painstaking until it becomes a beautiful plant and soothing eyes for people who look at it.

"Keyla's happiness is more important Bun, if this keeps Keyla from going to school. I'll try to talk heart to heart with Lyra. That Keyla still needs it the most." he said softly, with teary eyes.

Ambar breathed in. Then sit next to his son. Swiping the arms of his second son.

"Patience my child, this may be the little rebuke God has given you. Because what you did to her, betrayed Lyra's true love for you. If indeed you are still in a match with him, it is easy for God to reunite you." Ambar said his heart was also sad to see his son who still craves the love of Lyra.

Raffa smiled faintly, hearing his mother's words. His advice was able to comfort his troubled heart. But here, Raffa also does not want to be too hopeful for him, because everything is no longer possible for him. But for Keyla's sake all Raffa's gonna do. As long as his daughter could smile happily, Raffa was already very grateful to God.

Raffa and Keyla are ready to leave. They joined hands and got into the car.

On the porch of the house, Ambar smiled softly at the departure of his son's car. In his heart he kept chanting prayers. That the Lord may reunite his son and Lyra. Because for him, only Lyra can turn her grandson back into a good and obedient child.

"Are you happy to see Aunt Rara?" raffa asked smilingly as she rubbed her daughter's head.

"Yes Papaa!" his smile smiled widely.

"Oh yeah, before I met Aunt Rara, how about we buy something for her first?" raffa's advice suddenly. Keyla rounded her eyes wide looking at Raffa. Then he nodded in agreement.

"Well yes, Pah... Yepy!"

Raffa smiled more and then he slightly accelerated the pace of his vehicle. The car arrived at a flower shop. Raffa came down and bought a beautiful bouquet of roses. Not to forget he also bought a box of chocolates. Raffa was stunned to stare at the flower and the brown box that was now in his hands.

In his mind, Raffa again imagined the future with Lyra. Raffa did not love Lyra. But he still remembered, the day he first gave a flower and a bar of brown silver queen to Lyra.

In the park, the view of Lyra can not be separated from a pair of lovers who are not far from him. The woman smiled happily as her lover gave her a bouquet of flowers and chocolates on the special day of February.

"Still honey." she cried small while hugging tightly to her partner's waist.

"Ehm, you don't want to buy me what is it?" chirp Lyra and then suck the orange juice again.

Sontak Raffa turned to the pair of lovers who kept Lyra watching since. Then he shook his head and laughed a little.

"What do you want?"

"Basic is insensitive. No time, if today's what day?" with his face bowed.

Raffa smiled and ruffled Lyra's hair as usual. Then pulled Lyra's hand and took her away to a large house, which in front of her had many flower plants. Then pick a red flower there.

"It's..." Raffa offered the rose to Lyra. Lyra slit her eyes

"Not romantic, the meticulous time of flowers in front of people's homes anyway! Who has seen how?" ketus.

"Not anything. Mumpung who has his house no longer exists. If you don't want to, I'll love another woman!" gertak Raffa took the flower again in Lyra's hands and was about to give it to the woman passing in front of him.

"Excuse me!" Raffa called a woman who was riding a bicycle.

The woman stopped her bike and turned to smile at Raffa with a shy face.

"Yes, yeah..."

"Want not flowers from me?!"

"Sorry he's just kidding, excuse me!" Lyra hurriedly ran away while pulling Raffa's hand and taking him away from there.

Raffa laughed out loud at Lyra who was upset by jealousy.

"I'm not rejecting your flower. But I don't feel good, if the flowers you pick from the house of a random person!" his grunts while pinching Raffa's cheeks because of his arrogance.

"Say that you were jealous!" spiciness. Lyra snorted in annoyance and then clasped her hands.

"Who is jealous? Not staying" he said, then walked quickly away from Raffa.

"Relatedly jealous. Yes already then I love this as well as other women." said Raffa while taking out something in his jacket pocket.

Lyra looked back and saw a chocolate bar in Raffa's hand. Then he smiled widely and ran to Raffa, trying to grab the chocolate in his hand. But with a quick motion Raffa keeps the chocolate behind his body, until Lyra accidentally kissed Raffa's lips. The two stared at each other closely and closely

"Father... Ayooo!" Keyla pulled out Raffa's hand which was still fixed where he stood. His daydreams were gone for a while, because of Keyla's call.

"L-yes baby!" stunt. Then the father and son walked to their car, having bought flowers and chocolates for Lyra.

"Let's find a meal." whispered Fadil beside Lyra's ear who was still seriously calculating financial records with her calculator.

Lyra was surprised and stayed away from her face a little. "You just surprised me! A minute, I'll count this first.." instead.

Lyra also focused again with her busyness. Ignoring Fadil there, whether it was on purpose or not. But Fadil's feelings say that Lyra did it deliberately to make Fadil bored when he was with her.

At a glance Lyra glanced at Fadil who continued to sigh long. Lyra knew at this time that maybe Fadil was tired with his attitude that was too cold.

"Today I'm going home in the afternoon. You better go home after lunch, so you don't have to wait for me here anymore..." Lyra got out of her chair and closed her financial records. Then approached Fadil near the door of his small room.

Fadil smiled gently and shook his head small.

"It's okay I'll stay faithful waiting for you. Oh yeah how about this lunch... We'll go to the jewelry store first. We're looking for a ring that's suitable for our wedding." take Fadil with a smile.

For a moment Lyra was stunned. He could no longer avoid and choose. Lyra resigned to all the destiny of her soul mate, may the man of her mother's choice is the best for her life in the future.

It doesn't feel like their marriage is two weeks away. And Fadil's family has been preparing everything since yesterday. It's just that Fadil hasn't had time to buy their wedding ring.

Lyra nodded and smiled slightly. Both of them walked out of the shop. There Noni and Dini were each other's nudges and small whispers. The two of them were happy, finally they could see his boss walking alone with a man. After a few years, the boss was single. They also already know if Fadil is the future husband of his boss. Because yesterday Fadil himself introduced himself without first being asked.

Fadil ran over to his car first to open the door. Lyra followed him. When you get in the car. Suddenly a Pajero car belonging to Raffa stopped right in front of Fadil's car.

Keyla called out to Lyra in the car. "Tanteee Raraa!!"

Lyra looked surprised, undoing her intention to get into the car of her future husband.

"Keyla.." he muttered softly, then smiled softly. Eyes glazed.

Keyla got out of her papa's car. Then a little run towards Lyra.

"Tanteeee!!" Keyla hugged the neck of Lyra who was already crouching in front of her.

"Honey Aunt .. Beautiful boy.." Lyra wailed while rubbing Keyla's head lovingly.

"Tante Rara's... Key kangen with Aunt... When is Aunt coming home again?!" stuffing, crying.

Lyra could not help her crying. How much he missed that boy. Lyra cupped both of Keyla's cheeks that looked a bit thin and then rubbed them gently. "Tante also misses you dear." he said lirih.

Beside his car, Raffa saw the two of them go in tears. Likewise with Fadil who did not move at all who stood on the side of his car. Resisting the tightness in his heart. Will he separate the two of them?

"It's Aunty flowers and chocolates for Auntie..." Keyla gave me a bouquet of flowers and chocolates that Raffa had bought.

Lyra also smiled wryly, wiping her suddenly dripping tears. Then look for a moment at Raffa who suddenly turned his face.

"Thank you so much Key, the flowers are so beautiful." said Lyra smiling sweetly, to Keyla.
