Chapter 5 - The Role of Substitute

I ended the call and put the phone in my jacket pocket. I was looking for fun on my short vacation. Moreover, the caffeine made by Bella did not make me calm, I was awake in the room without interest in doing anything, even closed I could not. Feeling alone like it wasn't my behavior, I got used to being in the middle of the busyness and hustle on set. I want to get out of the house.
I watched the sky clear from the window. That's where the idea came up. The big bike I had raked and I panned was waiting in the garage of the house.
"Sir, ask Joe to stay at the mall. I want to follow the kids there."
The eyes of aunt Marni's son instantly implied worry. He spread his hand. Guarding the door so I don't pass it.
"Don't go to mas, Neo is just as old as Ollie. What will people say if they see mas and mas Joe meet?" Aunt Marni's eyes told me to think.
I pulled my smile lazily. This scandal is really complicated. First pregnant, no one sniffed the suspicion of our relationship after officially getting married in Spain. We live life by Kevin's strict rules. Only abroad did we feel free, which is one reason Bella raised her pregnancy in Germany after her bulging belly was no longer able to hide with her clothes.
Two years of marriage we feel full of busy cats with journalists. Until we gave up on the show openly, Bella wanted everyday life as usual. She has to work and be a beauty doctor. Free to move all over the place with Neo until the idea of making Joe his pretend husband after our relationship was forced to run aground and become two strangers.
The lie was widened, Joe transformed into a widower berambak one “Noe” with a wife in the setting is gone. Bella and Joe fall in love with each other after getting together. They got married pretending to be overseas in my honor, but they just showed me a picture together after Bella and I got married in Spain.
I was feeling dwarfed, jealous. The mature and beautiful Joe has Bella freely in public. They look harmonious and romantic. Even Narendra thought they were really made. But all that no longer matters to me as long as everything can still be under control. I stayed with Bella in the room and Joe stayed married to the woman who was willing to play the drama with us until Bella was second pregnant. After that, Bella Ellis sank, no one sought her whereabouts, discussing her behavior except the author of articles discussing the names of Abhimanyu's former lover Julian Rudolf.
Conditions gradually safe, they decided to divorce. Bella's announcement was made to make her look her own, as well as Joe's. He can open his personal affairs more freely. But the problem is that Bella's condition is widowed and alone makes Narendra om a bully. She was like a troublesome vineyard while running our household territory. Om Narendra is like a person who longs, regrets and is burdened with feelings of guilt but prestige. He's a real bitch.
I smiled weakly, om Joe was an outstanding substitute role, my role model man figure, he said, I learned a lot from him as a man and he remains a father figure to Neo who only understands Joe is his father. He misses the man while Ollie knows me better as a father figure with a call om. So for the sake of our son, Joe continued to serve his duties as a father who drove and picked up my son to school.
"I just want my closeness with Joe and the kids as the beginning of my return to Bella, Ma'am. Itung-itung assume that I can not move on from the ex!" honest reveal. I want to open my marriage to Bella slowly.
"Remain mas?" Aunty Marni's eyes were watching me, her hand clutching the door wicket was squeezing as I nodded. Aunt Marni's son who already had one child who she lived in the village with her grandmother ran small opening garage doors and gates.
I'm wearing a helmet, getting ready to meet the kids on this big bike. They must be happy. But I'm not sure they'll be happy? I am the only one who sleeps in their house. Sometimes they also accompany them to sleep and then go early in the morning before they wake up or at night after they fall asleep.
Everything real, weird, and happy colored my days. I may not be a perfect father. But I can fix it slowly for them. Stand next to them, give the best smile for them and hear the morning babble until dusk. Someday.
An hour later, wearing a hat and a mask, I looked for a children's game on the top floor of the mall. From afar, Joe, who plays a father with no blood ties, holds Ollie while watching Neo throw a basketball into the ring, warming me up.
I nodded, my hands outstretched. Asking Ollie into my arms. This little boy who was soon five years old moved into my arms. I kissed her puffed cheeks.
"Thank you." I said sincerely and smiled warmly. I owe this man a lot. He lived his role sincerely and losing it was impossible. Joe's role meant something to me besides him as Neo's father, he changed my dead father's role.
"Welcome." Joe patted my back. "busy? Where's the hostess?" ask while looking behind me.
"Regular, meeting." Neo turned around, clutching my feet with twinkling eyes. "Om is finally coming." he said happily.
I swear, these two kids are gonna think of me as a father. Not Joe, not him. I just need to cut down on the filming schedule and communicate with Bella.
"Well, is there lunch?" I asked while stroking Neo's head, while Joe was swapping the results of their game for a reward at the store counter.
"Who's at school." Ollie nodded then observed the mask on my face. "This is what om?"
"Mask."
"For?"
I smiled broadly. This kid, off my mask and then kissed my cheek as usual. "Ollie's drowsy, but Ollie wants to see om's face." His head leaned against my neck, his long black hair braided one despite being a mess.
My heart was pounding, but Joe was able to convince me that my decision was to open up in time.
He smiled and never failed to make me feel like a child.
Joe gives the little doll that Ollie is now holding in his arms.
"There's information that the madam is hiding from me, Om?" ask me after getting out of the game rides in the door that is full of excited sounds.
Joe held Neo, while on his back in a bag of Ollie-shaped polar bear dolls. He looked comfortable and did not care about the amused gazes of everyone who saw him. Joe looks like a typical real hot Daddy and his wife is proud. And to be honest, I also want Bella to be proud of me for the success I have done or rather she accepted it.
"I don't think so, but he was dizzy with his old friend's invitation to become a member of the council. You know the past, right? He was the target before the political party on the title."
Yes, I nodded. Bella is good at it. But he already said he would reject her desperately. While I feel it must be, I can go crazy myself Bella is burning rays of ambition and busyness. I can go crazy, he who has not yet clearly laced out a fragrance that provokes lonely beetles to tease him. I cannot let it go, I am tormented.
