Reynald glanced at the watch on his wrist. It's 11 o'clock, it's lunch time but Angel and Dion are not back yet. Reynald chose to take Alisha out to lunch at this time as well. It would take a long time to wait for Angel and Dion to return to the hotel.
Lazily, Reynald was forced to ask Edwin for permission.
"Tell Angel and Dion, I'll take Alisha to lunch outside. We'll be back in 2 hours" Reynald said. He stood up from his seat and approached Karin who was still cool to hold Alisha, also inviting Alisha's sister to speak.
"Why not permit yourself. Doesn't she have Angel's cell phone number.?" Edwin asked an unkind tone of speech in Reynald's ears. Impressed with arrogance by emphasizing his last sentence.
"I've sent him a message, you can tell him again after coming home.!" Reynald said firmly. He seemed reluctant to discuss and talk again to Edwin.
"Alisha's coming along with auntie first huh, we're having lunch outside," Reynald took Alisha from Karin's lap and carried her.
"But Alisha hasn't authorized the same mom and dad om,," Alisha's face is very innocent, typical of children her age.
"Mama and papa Alisha have given permission. We can go now," Reynald explained slowly and gently. It also gives a father's affectionate shady look towards his daughter. It made Alisha nod without hesitation.
"Come,," Reynald grabbed Karin's hand, asking Karin to stand up. Karin stood up, she looked at Edwin who was looking at her at the same time.
"I go first brother," Pamit Karin told Edwin. He smiled kindly as usual.
"Yes, hearts on the road. I'm taking Alisha,,"
Edwin's words immediately got a sharp gaze from Reynald. He seemed to be unable to accept Edwin as if Alisha was not a part of him. Alisha is his flesh and blood.
"You leave a child to his parents.?!" Reynald snaps ketus. His face looked irritated with sharp eyes.
Edwin just glanced lazily, it seemed like he was in no mood to respond to Reynald's remark.
"Sister," Karin called Reynald and asked him to get out by walking ahead of Reynald. If not tell him to hurry out, maybe Reynald will continue to look at Edwin with angry eyes.
Nothing wrong with Edwin's words. He just leaves Alisha to him, in the sense that he asks her to keep Alisha well. Then why should Reynald be so angry.?
Karin understands, all parents must be sensitive when it comes to their children.
"Alisha wants to be in front of you," Pinta Alisha when Reynald has opened the back door and will sit Alisha there.
"You're like a aunt," he said. Reynald glanced at Karin who was already standing next to the front door, his eyes looking down, right at Karin's belly.
Hearing Alisha who wanted to sit in front with Karin, Reynald seemed anxious to think about the condition of his future son.
Letting Alisha sit on Karin's lap while in the car, it doesn't feel right. Alisha will definitely lean on Karin and it will make Karin's stomach pressed by Alisha's body.
"You're behind, accompany Alisha," Pinta Reynald. He told Karin to come in first.
"It's okay if Alisha wants in front, I can hold her like that," said Karin confidently. He understood what was going through Reynald's mind right now. From the way Reynald looked at his stomach and his anxious face, Karin knew that Reynald was worried about his womb.
"Just obey my orders," he said firmly not to be denied again. He again told Karin to get into the car by moving her head towards the car.
Karin nodded and went straight inside. He immediately reached out both hands to Alisha as soon as he sat down.
"Here's Alisha, we're just behind," Karin invites Alisha with a fluffy smile on her face. Reynald immediately gave Alisha to Karin, then closed the car door after Alisha sat down next to Karin.
"Tante, why aren't we ahead.?" Ask Alisha. It seemed that he was more interested in sitting in front.
"In front of the narrow darling, later Alisha can not be like this," Karin leaned her body in the car seat and styled as comfortable as possible to show Alisha.
"Hehehe,,,"
Alisha just laughed a little at Karin who was leaning in a position that looked resigned. The head looked up, the hand that was left straight. It was as if he was lying on the bed.
"Why did Alisha laugh.?" Karin confirmed her position, she returned to sitting normally. He pinched Alisha's squeezed cheeks which were getting cubby as she laughed.
Reynald starts driving forward, staring at Alisha and Karin's interaction in the rear-view mirror. There was a happy feeling of seeing the two close easily.
"Cute aunt," Sahut Alisha. He still looks smiling.
Somehow there was a little bit of tightness in his heart every time he talked about Angel.
...****...
"Yeay, by the way," Alisha looked enthusiastic as soon as she got out of the car. The restaurant in front of him had already caught his attention since the car he was riding in entered the courtyard of the restaurant. There is a playground in there that certainly makes Alisha can not wait to enter and play inside.
"Alisha wants to play there aunty," Pinta Alisha half whined. He also pulled Karin's hand and invited her to come in immediately.
"Before a while, we wait for you, "," said Karin. He looked at Reynald, the man had just got out of the car.
"Om," Alisha ran to Reynald, who was greeted by Reynald's hands and Alisha was in her arms.
"Alisha wants to play it mo,," Alisha pointed to the playground which is clearly visible from the outside because it is only covered in transparent glass.
"May, but Alisha has to eat first," Reynald develops a gentle smile on Alisha, he walks while continuing to stare at Alisha and justifies Alisha's bangs covering her eyes.
The man did not realize that Karin was still in place and just stared at her from behind.
After a few steps, Reynald realized that no one was following him behind. He immediately turned around, in the face of Karin who looked dreamy with a look of eyes that look bright. Without a second thought, Reynald approached Karin and held her hand.
"What do you want to eat,,,?" Reynald asked as he asked Karin to step up.
"Anything," Karin simply answered briefly, and reviewed a thin smile.
Reynald seemed to catch his breath and threw it away slowly.
"Om there's a long slide,," cried Alisha as soon as she entered the resto.
"Alisha wants to slide om, want to swing too," he said while pointing at slides and swings alternately.
Reynald smiled, he looked anxious with the behavior and way of talking Alisha who tends to be chatty. His speech was as true as Angel.
"Alisha can try it all, as long as you have to eat first. Okay,,,?"
Alisha nodded obediently.
"Ok om,,," cried Alisha.
Karin took a deep breath. Alisha is innocent, she knows nothing about what happened between her parents in the past. Alisha is getting good treatment from Reynald. Reynald should have given his love, affection and attention to Alisha.
Despite repeatedly convincing her heart to sincerely accept Alisha who is indeed the flesh blood of her husband, but there is still a little jealousy in her heart to see their closeness.
What's wrong with feeling jealous of Alisha getting more attention than Reynald.? He is always treated well and spoken to in a soft voice.
Karin feels that she and Alisha have a different position in Reynald's heart and life.
She felt insignificant while being with Alisha like this.
"Sunday,,!" Reynald's rebuke jolts Karin.
"Sit down," Reynald said. He had already prepared a chair for Karin, had even called Karin a few times but Karin kept daydreaming.
Karin nodded quickly and sat down immediately.
"You why.? Wanna go home.?" Rose Reynald. He felt that Karin was uncomfortable.
"We can order food and take it home. But take Alisha first,,,"
"It's okay, just eat here. We go home after Alisha plays," Saut Karin quickly. He did not have the heart to go home, while Alisha was enthusiastic to play there.
Reynald just nodded slowly and rubbed Karin's back.
