My Mom Wants to Mate
61. Doll

"Well, it's past, Non. I moved to 2nd grade before I worked there. I just got a story from Mbok Idah. Kasian Den Daniel."

"Huh? How kasian? The guy who hit me."

"I also don't know the details, Non. Anyway Mbok Idah said kasian is doang."

In his mind, he confirmed Haris's words. Mami Seli did put Daniel as a victim. No wonder to see the nature of Mami who is too fond of her child.

In order to get a daughter-in-law, Mami kept a few things secret including the room containing the comic. Although this marriage is only a stepping stone for Karen, she still feels unhappy with Mami's dishonesty about Daniel.

"Yes, Bi. I want to continue reading." Karen returned to her favorite position when reading the comic, lying on her stomach with a pillow to support her chest.

Aunt Sum took a picture of Karen secretly. But Aunt Sum's base who forgot not to turn off the flash, Karen found out she was being photographed.

"Ikh, Bi Sum, what are my photos? Don't you think Bi Sum likes to take my photos? Ngefans huh?"

"Eh no, Non, sorry. Not for me."

"Huh? Who is Bi? Don't mess around giving my photos to people, later if you make a crime how? Remove, Bi!"

Karen snatches Aunt Sum's phone to erase a photo of her there. However, he found that the screen that was open was the Chatsapp application. It turned out that the photo was Daniel's request through Chatsapp.

Huh huh? Daniel's? (Karen).

"Oh, make Daniel. Um, I pinjem his cell phone for a minute, Bi."

Karen opens Bibi Sum's history chat with Daniel.

📱Daniel: Don't forget later nginep at home ya Bi. Later the entry do not be noisy, Karen was sleeping.

📱Aunt Sum: Yes, Den.

📱Daniel: Haven't arrived yet, Bi?

📱Abibi Sum: Just arrived, Den.

📱Daniel: Karen again does not want to eat, later please cookkin that she likes.

📱Aunt Sum: Yes, Den.

📱Daniel: Karen again what, Bi?

📱Aunt Sum: Again read comics in the book room, Den.

📱Daniel: Please photoin yes.

📱Aunt Sum: ⁇ ️

Apparently from earlier, the incoming message was a chat from Daniel. Karen's heart rippled slightly reading those messages.

At a resort in a hilly area, the annual camping of Happy Family Hospital is held.

Tents are set up in the campground located in the side yard of the resort. However, the tent was only used for sleeping at night. Dinner and bath are done inside the resort.

That night after a bonfire and a show of talent, Daniel, Nathan and Dion are in front of the remains of a bonfire. The other employees have entered their tents.

Nathan gets a call from Lana, his wife.

📞"Hello, what is my dear?"

📞"Tomorrow if you go home with a lot of fruit there."

📞"Yes, tomorrow I buyin. Still nauseous, right?"

📞"Now it's not. Mama made mango."

📞"Althan not fussy, right?"

📞"No. Yeah, I'm Boboin Althan first."

Dion burns corn, while Daniel is still busy with his cell phone.

"Than, you didn't camp before? You're still upset with Lana hahaha" Dion recalled.

"Inget, my whole life won't forget how I fought."

"Now you want two children."

Daniel was surprised to hear that.

She doesn't know Nathan's wife is pregnant anymore. In fact, Karen who already knows first because Inda is friends with Lana. And Karen never told Daniel.

"Oh, I haven't told you yet, Niel. Nathan is pregnant again. She's a big boy, she doesn't know contraception!" said Dion.

"It's not cluttered, but you want to breed with the maximum." Nathan laughed a little. "Niel, why not spirit, why? Another fight with the wife?"

Daniel nodded. "He ... is angry."

"Lack service your times." (Dions).

"Heh, where there are less service newlyweds, there is over service." (Nathan).

"Oh, yes, too. Well maybe it was, too diligent a time?" (Dions).

"Sampe scuffles?" (Nathan).

"Hush, don't be equal to you. You know Pretty Boy is calm, he must be gentle not like you." (Dions).

"Eit, don't go! Story, Niel," Dion persuaded.

"Where can he not be angry?"

"Classic, apologize for begging." (Dions).

"If you need to use eye medicine so you can cry bombay." (Nathan).

"Forced hugging until she's sorry." (Dions).

"Buy favorite food." (Nathan).

"Buy something special." (Dions).

"Buy flowers, give me an apology card." (Nathan).

The morning.

Hospital employees take a walk to enjoy the view of the sunrise on the hill. After that they had breakfast and made a visit to the museum.

Daniel bought some souvenirs for Karen.

"Niel, you want to apologize for the ginian's?"

"Yes, why?"

"I don't know the character of Karen. But what I mean by special stuff is not this. Women usually like funny things. Cook you give a museum display like this?" said Dion.

"Cute objects, or branded objects can also be," Nathan added.

"Tuh, Niel, love big dolls" Dion suggested.

Distraught, Daniel buys a large display and doll. However, he did not buy branded goods.

His wife once said that he did not like to be bought branded goods. In addition, Karen prefers to buy her own goods.

He only has a few branded items to validate his predicate as boss. It also only cost 5 million. He never bought anything more expensive than that. He prefers local brands to support SMEs (Small Medium Enterprises).

Daniel went home at 16:30.

Karen got home from work first. He is currently reading comics in the book room. Daniel went into the room.

Karen stood up, but instead of welcoming, she intended to leave the room and be indifferent to Daniel.

Daniel pulled her, preventing the red-haired woman from leaving. Karen looked at her husband in annoyance.

"What?" ask Karen, ketus.

"Sorry."

"That's doang?"

Then Daniel handed over a large package containing the doll.

"What's this?" He opened the package. "Dollies? You think I'm a kid?"

Night

In the room, Karen looked at the display bought by Daniel that made her mood change for the better, anubis statue display.

"Gwffhttt."

Dolls bought also no less make it amused himself, kudanil dolls. He pinched the doll's head.

"ppfflttt. You know, the hardest guy, can't smile, can't talk."

He put the display on the table then slept hugging the large kudanil doll. The soft doll was very comfortable and made Karen sleep better.

Daniel went into the room to rest after feeling short of breath for a moment in the book room. She looked at the astonished sleep of Karen hugging her gift doll.

Surprisingly, he was angry with this doll. Finally now it's being embraced too. (Daniel).
