My Child's Choice Wife
episode 4

When aware of his daydreams Harold directly memelui the son very closely "forgive daddy dear.daddy forgot you" he said while hugging the beloved son.

"daddy must be strong, only daddy I have. I love you dad and I will take good care of you" said Rayhan who is still in his arms.

Hearing the words from the son, Harold let go of his embrace and looked inside the son, he did not expect that his son could think that mature. Harold thought his son would be just like any child his age would cry for his mother when she died, but in fact this son was different from the other children. This son looks very strong even though Harold himself feels very bad because of the departure of his beloved wife.

"Daddy don't cry anymore, okay?! we're going to get through this together" rAyhan said again, wiping away the father's tears.

"Daddy's son is very smart and strong.I'm sorry daddy baby... Daddy promised after this he would learn to be stronger like you" said Harold while smiling warmly at the son.

"Let's go home daddy. I'm sure mommy doesn't want to see us grieving for too long" Rayhan said, staring at the mother's tombstone.

"Yes you're right, baby. Let's go home." said Harold as he carried Rayhann to walk out of the cemetery.

Arriving at Harold's house, he asks a servant for help to bathe Rayhan. While he went into his room to clean himself, but when he opened the door Harold again cried in memory of his wife, the aroma of the room that was very attached to the fragrance of perfume that Hana always used to make Harold again shed tears. He recalled his fond memories with Hana in the room, the room that became a silent witness how happy they spent time to joke before going to bed at night. He walked up to their longest wedding photo on the wall.

"Why did you leave us so soon, baby?? Rayhan and I still need you" she said, looking at the photo. "Rayhan, our only son. The most precious treasure you left me. I promise to take care of him and raise him well, I will educate him to be a man full of responsibility so that you can rest easy there, baby, we love you." after saying that Harold decided to clean up and take a break.

At night on the dinner table, there was only Harold with his son, Rayhan. They ate in silence, until Rayhan finally broke the silence between them "dad, can I sleep with Daddy tonight??" rayhan asked with a glare.

Harold stopped his eating when he got the question from the son.

"If not, it's okay dad. I'll just sleep in my room." said RAYhan again when he did not get an answer from his father.

"Of course you can, why shouldn't you?" Said Harold smilingly looking at his son.

"Recycle your food, after that we play in the daddy's room" he said again.

"are you sleepy??" harold asked as he gently stroked Rayhan's hair.

Rayhan shook his head. "can we play first or daddy read the story to me" Rayhan said looking at Harold.

"so you want to play or read a story?"

"just read the story dad." looked at Harold with his innocent eyes.

"alright then, you just wait here for a second... Daddy's gonna pick up the storybook in your room." After saying that Harold immediately went to pick up the story in Rayhan's room.

after the father disappeared behind the door, Rayhan looked at the wedding photo of Daddy and his mommy with teary eyes "i miss mommy" he said in a soft tone.

As he looked at the photo with tears streaming down his puffed cheeks, Rayhan did not realize that his father had entered the room again and had sat down beside Rayhan.

"you miss your mommy??" harold asked as he rubbed Rayhan's head.

"da-daddy" said Rayhan stammered and immediately wiped away his tears.

"cry if you want to cry, son." said Harold as he hugged the son, which made Rayhan's cry break.

"mo-mommy.." Rayhan murmured interrupted his cry.

Harold still holds the son while gently rubbing Rayhan's back. "sorry Daddy can't keep and save your mommy, son." Harold said in his heart. His heart was so sore when he saw the son crying so bitterly. Only now Harold saw the son crying so bitterly because from yesterday night until the funeral was over Rayhan only let out a few tears that made Harold think that his son could be strong and strong accepting the mother's departure, Harold's thought was wrong. Rayhan is still a small child who is still very fragile and needs the figure of a mother beside him.
