My Perfect Stranger's
The Warmth of the Family Part 2

Before Friska started her story, Vano turned her body to face her father.

"Pa, let's sleep here with Vano and mama" said Vano surprised the two adults in the room. Friska only widened her eyes for a moment, but returned to being normal

"Vano alone who sleeps with Mama, Vano can not sleep when he hears Papa's voice" said Ardigo again reminded Vano's speech earlier

The boy chuckled slightly towards Friska

"This time it was Mama who would read the story to Vano. So you sleep with Vano. Vano is comfortable when hugged by Papa"

"really?" ask Ardigo

"Yes. Later Vano will tell Cecil that Vano can also sleep with Mama and Papa"

Ardigo sighed for a while and looked at his son

"Alright" Ardigo started walking towards the side of the empty bed

Friska felt a little uncomfortable with their current position. Because the three of them are very close to Vano, who is the separator between himself and Ardigo

Ah, after all, we're just sleeping. And there's Vano between us

batin Friska then began to tell the story to Vano. Sure enough, before long the boy had already fallen asleep with regular breaths. Friska glanced at Vano's face more closely to see if she had slept properly. But his eyes accidentally collided with the husband's netra. Suddenly an awkward feeling covered his heart when he realized his position was so close to Ardigo

"Mas hasn't slept?" base of Friska

"You think I'm the kid who goes to bed when told a story"

"And you've been tired all day working, I thought you'd fall asleep"

Ardigo no longer replied to Friska. The girl looks to have laid herself down next to Vano.

"Thank you" Digo said after a moment of silence

"For what?" ask Friska confused

"Have told Vano the story"

"When will you continue to thank me? didn't you agree that Vano called me Mama? Do any parents receive thanks for taking care of their own children?" friska said in a quiet voice probably for fear of waking Vano up

"Should you always say thank you? isn't it like you're appreciating someone else who's done something for Vano? Do you still consider me a stranger?" ask Friska. Even unconsciously he had tilted his body to face Digo. Their eyes clashed against each other and dived into the windows of each other's souls

"You think of it that way?" said Digo who was immediately replied to a definite nod from Friska. Ardigo was silent for a while before saying

"Everyone has a different way of expressing their gratitude. And that's the way I'm grateful and appreciative of the effort you've put in, no matter how small"

Friska felt a slight touch in her heart when she heard the husband's words. It wasn't a flabby sentence, after all Friska doubted that someone like Ardigo could utter a ridiculous sentence called a mace. Friska blinked her eyes without answering Ardigo's words. The lentic eyelashes are moving up and down. It's like seeing the other side of an Ardigo. After that no more chatter was created, they had already overtaken Vano to dreamland

Without them knowing they have done Pillow talk as commonly done by married couples in general when going to sleep. And sure enough, the short time they use to talk before going to bed provides a quality of chat that can make Friska change her view of Ardigo a little. Behind his arrogant attitude, it turns out that he has his own soft side that is able to make Friska feel a little?

Morning at Ardigo's parents' house

The whole family gathered at the dinner table to have breakfast together. Friska and Ardigo are seen sitting side by side with Vano in their midst. If Friska usually never took food for Ardigo, now the girl is seen serving the husband by taking rice and side dishes. He did it because he felt bad for Mama Rini and Dinda who had served their respective husbands first.

After finishing breakfast, they all gathered in the backyard which is suitable for a place to relax. Mini garden with clean grass and cool air, and shady trees are a very fitting combination to accompany the warmth of their families in this morning.

"Pa, let's play ball" Vano asked the father after relaxing for a while

"Should it be now, son?" asked Ardigo who was feeling a little lazy

"Yes, come on Pa" please Vano

"All right"

Initially Vano was seen only playing together with Ardigo, they look to enjoy this dueling game. They chase while guarding each other's goal. Ardigo who initially looks lazy to play, now looks excited to be able to beat the child. Other family members become supporters for both parties. Soon Reyhan ran into the field because he wanted to play as well. Seeing that, Dinda did not want to stay silent. He also wants to play with them. He handed Clara into Friska's lap before running into the field and asking to play along.

"I picked Clara up first, Fris. I want to play with them" said Dinda then darted to the field

Eventually they formed two teams. Ardigo and Vano, who had previously been Rival, are now part of a team. Reyhan and Dinda are on the same team. Laughter seemed to decorate the game this time, the offense continued to occur and was done by Dinda. Starting from holding the ball, cheating to get the ball and others. They ran and laughed like children. Likewise with Rini, Reno, and Friska, they are no less excited and continue to laugh at the silliness that occurs in the middle of the field.

Your family's been a lot of fun, Mom. Will I be able to leave this kind of comfort?

friska suddenly felt a bit of sadness in her heart, considering this warmth she could not enjoy for a long time

It's okay, at least I've been in their midst. The most important thing is that I am here with them. Inner Friska encouraged herself

Clara who was in her carriage was as if she was comforting herself. The baby was seen laughing and touching Friska's face with her tiny fingers. Friska was anxious to see it herself, she then kissed Clara's face with a tube, inviting laughter of the baby. Rini and Reno are very happy to see the togetherness of their children and grandchildren. A wide smile ceaselessly adorned the faces of the two lovebirds.
