My Boss, My (Ex) Boyfriend
7. Who, Dad?
"Wouldn't! Tio doesn't like Mommy!" Reject Tio getting sullen.
His big eyes then turned to look at the figure that had been protecting him from the attack of the skinny hand owner. He immediately ran over and hugged his spoiled thigh looking to complain.
"Uncle Dimas.uncle Dimas please tell Mommy that Tio doesn't like cold shower.." If Tio had spoiled like this, Dimas would not have been able to refuse his request.
Dimas let out a long sigh, bringing Tio into his arms as he walked closer to the owner of the skinny hand.
"A small piece of water is that hard, Rein? Kasian knows your child is still small but has been forced to take a cold shower." He complained to Rein but his right hand did not stop chewing on Tio's puffed cheeks.
Seeing how thin Rein was, he suspected that all his best friend's nutrition had been sucked out by Tio every day. Because Rein and Tio are very inversely proportional when it comes to physical.
"Gue is not lazy to cook water, Dim, but I want to biasain my child so that it can live as it is. I don't want to keep him going especially with our economic situation like this." Rein reasoned.
He stared helplessly at the puffed up flesh that was inside Dimas' embrace. Whether viewed from any side Tio seemed to be born into a small version of a man who had already broken his heart.
"He was 4 years old, Rein, still a kid. You cook the water there, let my Tio take care." Dimas sat on the floor with Tio.
Sit Tio in front of a pile of toys that have been disheveled because of Tio himself.
"Huh.lo, ah." Rein relented.
He went into the kitchen to cook warm water. While waiting for the boiling water he took the time to cook the fried rice as their breakfast. The fried rice that Rein made was divided into two parts. The first part for Tio and Dimas who like to use soy sauce but do not like to eat spicy. While the other part is again for Rein who does not like to use soy sauce and prefers spicy sensations.
In this small apartment they only lived three. Rein works as the man who cleans the apartment and cooks while Dimas is in charge of making a living. But in recent months Rein has started working as an office girl at the company where Dimas works and can make her own money even though not much.
It doesn't feel like it's been 5 years since Rein lived here with his son Tio.
"Lo breakfast first, Dim, let's not be late for work." Rein hurriedly gave Dimas and Tio their fried rice.
"Today I entered a bit of a shadow so I can still relax a little." He said while putting in a mouthful of fried rice.
"No eggs, Rein?" Usually there is always an egg on top of their breakfast.
"His eggs were eaten yesterday by Tio." Answer Rein from the kitchen.
He then brought the hot pot into the bathroom. Spilled into a bathtub filled with cold water.
"Mommy.. Mommy.maem.." Tio outside screaming.
"Tio ate the same uncle Dimas first yeah.." Rein was still busy in the bathroom.
He had to stir the water in the bathtub to quickly warm up.
This should mean nothing because as hard as it is to stir the water will warm up when the time comes. It had become his habit to kill boredom years ago.
"Mommy..Tio lapel's.." Tio and Dimas were already standing in front of the bathroom door.
"Tio doesn't want breakfast if it's not the same, Rein. Udah.biarin aja water so, after we finish breakfast the water must have been warm." Dimas pulled Rein inside.
On the floor was a plate of Rein fried rice that looked more bland than the plates of Dimas and Tio.
"Spoiled base!" Rein gnawed at the cheeks of the bully Tio felt anxious.
"Tio followed who the hell works, Mommy used to be a child not spoiled like this."
"Yes, if you don't follow you, Tio will follow his father.." Dimas originally spoke.
He forgot these words were very sensitive to Rein.
Rein's hand movements immediately became stiff. Both of Tio's big eyes were now staring at him with a plain look.
"Who's Dad?" His small mouth asked in confusion.
