Our Love Is Not Over
The Part 69
The one who picked up the twins was Edgar. Edgar did not immediately bring the twins home, but took them to his office.
Upon arriving at Edgar's office, the twins were completely amazed by the building soaring into the sky.
"Pi, is this really Papi's place of work? Very big. I couldn't blink. Very different from Mami's workplace which is only two floors doang."
"Surely, this is a tall building. How many floors of Pi?" ask Kia.
"There are 7 floors, baby. Papi's room is on the 7th floor. You guys wanna see?"
"Can it be Pi?" ask Mia.
"Of course you can. What the hell can't make Papi's favorite kids."
Both of them smiled happily. The twins entered the building with Edgar holding his hand. All the employees went straight to the two little girls who were with Edgar. As far as they know Edgar does not have a son and nephew Edgar was not a girl. Whose floor is that little girl? His face is similar to Edgar's.
"Consider everything."
Edgar began to make a sound, the man was about to announce that the twins were his children. Not to forget, before that Edgar asked his employees first to gather there. Until almost all employees get together, Edgar just announced it.
"You guys saw two little girls that I was holding, right? They are my little girls. My real son."
The atmosphere there began to grow noisy and in disbelief. How can Edgar widower without children have children? Some of them were wondering which child of the woman the two little girls were.
"They are the children of my ex-wife. I didn't know my ex-wife was pregnant when we got divorced. The point is if you see my kids hanging around this building. Please treat both well. Because if you ever get them hurt and even cry, the reward is to be fired. I don't care how long you work here, or how good your job is. Understand!?"
"Eye sir!" answer everything at the same time.
"Try introducing yourself to Papi's employees."
"Oke Pi," the twins answered simultaneously.
"Hello om and aunty all. I'm Papi Edgar's son. My name is Mialisa Anggika, call me Mia. Oh yeah, I know this is my sister, her name is Kiana Larisa. We are twins, I know for sure om and aunt it is difficult to distinguish us from the face. But calm down, our attitude is different. I'm more chatty and Kia's more into the fridge-rich because of her silence. So, thank you," said Mia ended with her sweetest smile.
Some employees began to get anxious with the cute and pretty look of the twins. Moreover, Edgar's treatment to his son was very paternal. It is very different from the fashion of Edgar who is a boss.
After making the announcement, Edgar immediately brought the twins into his room.
Whispers of admiration of the employees to the two little girls continued to be heard throughout the office.
He said the twins were cute, funny, gemesin. Even until someone suspected that Edgar's marriage was canceled because of the presence of the two little girls. But that's just people's assumptions. They could not even ask Edgar the truth for fear of being fired.
What remains a mystery to them is the face of Edgar's ex-wife who has never been shown at all.

"Never before, your mother has entered Papi's room. At most your mama's only up to the front of the building."
"Why? How come you've never been in Pi?"
The one who asked was Kia.
"Because your own mother doesn't want to" replied Edgar.
When the truth happens, the old Raisa, does not want to be introduced to Edgar's employees. Even he did not want his face shown in the company media at all. Raisa wants to be Edgar's wife whose face is not recognized by anyone except the edgar family itself. Because what? For Raisa was afraid of the words of the people against her. Better not to be the center of attention for the sake of his life than to be the center of attention but to keep him depressed. And fortunately, the Edgar family didn't mind it.
"Pi, if Mami and Papi are together again. Where do we live? What's in the house we live in with Mommy?" ask Kia.
"Yes, don't dong darling. We'll live in our own house. Maybe for a while we stayed at Oma and Opa's house until Papi found a nice house."
"Will Mami keep working Pi?" It was Mia's turn to ask.
"That problem, it's up to your mom. Papi according to me."
"I want Mami at home, let Papi work. All this time Mami always worked hard to make money for us even to go home at night. Mami always limit whatever we want, because in addition to Mami's finances, Mami also teaches what it means to save money. That's why sometimes Mia and I always ask Aunty Lala for anything. Because he will grant us whatever we want. Just a kasian too, sometimes Aunty Lala likes to be scolded by Mami too. The point is, Mia and I want Mami at home. Let's just get us home from school, we're not just at home but there's Mami too."
Hearing the outpouring of his son's heart, Edgar frowned. Maybe the twins were unable to get their hearts out to Raisa for fear that Raisa was sad. Especially if they say they want their Mami at home, then who is looking for money? Edgar felt guilty about why he had only met the twins after eight years had passed.
"I'm sorry, dear Papi. Sorry Papi came so late. Papi promised, Papi will redeem the time that has passed with a lot of happiness. We're gonna be a happy family."
"Promise? Didn't lie to Pi?"
"Dear, come hug Papi first."
The twins embraced Edgar affectionately. Edgar loved the twins. He promised himself to be a good husband and a good father. Past events have made him realize that what he thinks is best is not necessarily the best for others. A decision can not only be decided by one party but both parties so that no one else is hurt.
Thank you for coming to Papi's life. Without you, maybe the story of Papi and Mami is really over. Maybe Papi will regret for the rest of Papi's life if he remembers your Mama. You guys really are a unifier for Mami and Papi.
