My Child's Choice Wife
episode 7's

still at the same time, where Harold and Rendi were sitting while waiting for Rayhan.

"may I ask you seriously??" asked Rendi while looking seriously at Harold.

"what's up? why is your face so serious?" harold asked astonished to see the look on Rendi's face change.

"did Rayhan ever ask about his mother?? or talk about missing her mother?" ask Randy carefully.

Harold suddenly looked at Rendi with a surprised look, he did not expect that his best friend would ask that. "Why are you asking like that??" asked Harold astonished.

"No, I'm just asking." Harold let out a heavy breath. "Rayhan never asked about his mommy because he knew that his mommy was dead and it was right before his eyes" Harold said, staring straight ahead.

"don't tell me you're too busy that you don't have time for Rayhan so you don't know what the kid is feeling. "Yes it seems so, after Hana's departure I always busied myself with work."

"and I became oblivious to Rayhan, and you didn't even know what he was feeling" said Rendi cutting off Harold's words.

"what do you mean?" asked Harold who already seemed emotional, he did not expect that Rendi would judge him like this.

"did you remember when we were walking?? I always noticed Rayhan occasionally seeing another child being with her mother. I saw her shed tears but she quickly wiped them away again." Rendi's words made Harold startled, the chapter that Harold knew was only Rayhan who was happy while traveling with him but Harold realized that he did not always pay attention to the look on his son's face.

"this morning Rayhan did tell me if he wanted to have friends and I intended to enroll him in school" Harold said with a flat look.

"you'll send her to school at her age now ?" asked Rendi who was inexhaustible with Harold's current thought path.

"yes, why?? his age was indeed well deserved for school."

"oh come on, Harold, you have to understand what your son means." said Rendi a little frustrated.

"what do you mean ??" asked Harold to raise his eyebrows.

Rendi rubbed his face rough. "what Rayhan meant he wanted a friend was that he wanted a figure who always felt beside him, a figure who always spoiled him, a figure that was always entertaining and willing to listen to his complaints. He needs a mother, Harold." said Rendi frustrated.

"but he said he wanted to go to school" Harold said confusedly.

"oh come on Harold, you have to understand that your son doesn't want you to be sad or think about his wishes" Rendy said.

"i think you're right. Rayhan has never shown his sadness in the face."

"then what should I do now?" ask Harold.

"what else?? find Rayhan mom to connect." said Rendi lightly..

"are you crazy?? I can't possibly replace Hana in my heart" Harold said, not accepting Rendi's words.

"are you going to keep that ego and not think about your son's feelings?" said Rendi who had started to get emotional. It is very difficult to give understanding to this friend.

"get your ego down. I'm sure Hana will also be sad if you continue like this, without you knowing you've sacrificed your own child's feelings just because your ego just doesn't want to replace Hana in your heart." said Rendi who successfully made Harold speechless and began to think.

"think of my words" said Rendi again as she patted Harold's shoulder gently.

After their conversation came Rayhan and Roki who had finished going to the bathroom and approached them.

"daddy let's play again" Rayhan pulled the father's hand.

"it's noon baby, we eat first huha" said Harold while stroking gently the mane of the son.

"alright" said Rayhan resigned and after that the three men and one boy walked towards the restaurant for lunch.

After finishing lunch the three adult men returned to accompany Rayhan to play until the boy was satisfied.

"om Rendi, Rayhan come home first... Rayhan has cape." Rayhan said goodbye to Rendi.

"yes, be careful, are you happy today?" asked rendi while likening his height to Rayhan.

"very om, Rayhan is very happy today. Sometimes play again yaa om." said RAYhan with sparkling eyes staring at Rendi.

"by honey, whenever you want you can come here. If your daddy is VERY BUSY, you can ask the driver or Roki to drive you here and the kids accompany you to play." said Rendi pressed the word "Hugely BUSY" to quip Harold.

"okay om, once again thank you yes.I went home first." said Rayhan while greeting Rendi's hand and answered a nod by Rendi.

This time Harold shaking hands with Rendi, "I'm saying goodbye" Harold told Rendi.

"be careful and think carefully about what I said earlier, said Rendi patted Harold's shoulder softly which was only nodding his head by Harold.
