PASSION OF MY WIFE'S FRIEND
New Dad

This morning Elona was getting ready to go to school. Aruna is ready to drop off her daughter and sit on the porch while waiting for an online taxi to arrive.

The sound of car horns stopping in front of the fence of his house made them turn their heads. Kanaya and her daughter waved asking them to come over.

"Aruna, let's go with us," Kanaya took with her very kindly.

"Thank you, Kanaya. But I've booked a cab online."

"It's okay, it can be canceled. Let's get in!"

"Yes, Elona. Let's go with us, "take Cheryl who is sitting next to her mother.

"Mom, we're with Cheryl and Aunt Kanaya, yes, ma'am" Elona said expectantly.

Finally, Aruna accepted Kanaya's offer and chose to cancel her online taxi order. They're sitting behind the wheel.

On the way, Cheryl suddenly said something that made Aruna a little surprised and happy.

"Elona, you know, soon I'll have a new father. Isn't that right, mom?" cheryl then asked her mother to justify her sentence.

"Yes, baby."

"Is that true, Kanaya?" Aruna.

Kanaya sees Aruna from the rearview mirror hanging above. Then he confirmed his daughter's words.

"Yes, Aruna. I'll be married soon."

"Well, congratulations, yeah. You finally found a life partner again. May it be your last and certainly best mate."

"Thank you, Aruna. Hope you also get another partner soon which is certainly much better."

"Yes, thank you again, Kanaya."

"So I'm gonna get a new dad like Cheryl, mom?"

Elona's question instantly made Aruna surprised.

"Darling, what's Elona talking about?"

"Is my new father Haikal's uncle?" ask the boy again and now make Aruna a little nervous and misbehaved.

"Elona, baby. No need to talk about it anymore, yes. Who's gonna have Cheryl's new dad, son. Not Elona."

"I think I'll also get daddy's rock again."

Elona looked down, imagining that she could also find a new father like Cheryl. And he hopes his new father is the man he often calls uncle. Uncle Haikal.

Elsewhere, a man seemed to lose his work focus. Both eyes looked at the computer screen, but his gaze was blank.

His conversation yesterday with Gavin at lunch that made him lose focus on work.

"What if Aruna and Elona really get their new little family. And that person is Gavin's cousin. I'm still afraid that Elona will forget me, and I'm no longer valuable to her."

"Am I really going to be happy to see their happiness?"

"It would be a lie if I was happy too. Because that was the beginning of my own suffering. While I don't know who to live with, I don't even know if I'm going to get happiness from a woman other than Aruna."

"My hope is still much greater than my sincere feelings."

Abian rubbed his face a little rough, together with a small breath. He really lost his focus today just thinking about it.
