Perfect Duda
Three Month Baby

The room was narrow, as if there was no air there. The gripping atmosphere whackened, three people sitting face to face on the sofa that was in the hotel room.

It was a dream for a high school math teacher. A few minutes ago he caught his wife playing with another man. The anger was mounting, but he held it as much as possible. He remembers well the words of his mother if angry will not solve the problem. Let him keep it.

"How long has it been?" binar asked with lips curved to form a smile, but in front of him there was a wife and her affair.

Maya and her affair could only duck while squeezing their fingers. The two men were still wrapped in blankets because they did not have time to wear clothes again after a hot struggle.

"It's been a year" replied Marvel, Maya's mistress and friend from Binar.

"I'm sorry, Bin," said Maya, the woman still looked down not daring to look at the man who had been her husband for one year.

"Why would you still marry me if you were still in touch with her, my own best friend." As much as possible to hold back his emotions. A year? Means all this time he did not love himself, and during the marriage only betrayal he received.

"I'm tired. I'm a woman, Bin. My needs are so much, the money you give me is never enough to meet my needs. To buy the needs of our children you are overwhelmed. Therefore I did this, I'm sorry," Maya said sobbing.

Yes, Binar was very conscious. He was just a math teacher in a private school with a meager salary. It must also be divided with the orphanage that the mother and herself manage. Of course that would make any woman unable to live with it. During this Maya turned out to only pretend in front of him, the woman really deserves to be given an award for the drama she played.

"Go home, pack your things. Divorce papers will be taken care of soon, and child custody will be taken." Binar immediately moved from his seat and out of the room was– room that witnessed their divorce.

Many times the man rubbed his face violently, hoping that tears would not drip. His heart really hurt when the person he loved with all his heart even betrayed his own best friend.

...*****...

"You've been like this for almost three months. Don't you want to find another woman?" ask Melati, Mrs Binar.

Binar just smiled, while continuing to serve coffee to his customers. Yes, the man chose to sell coffee by opening a small stall in front of his house located next to the orphanage. Good result.

"You don't want to take Clarissa anymore, do you?"

"It's not like that, Mama is still able to take care of my granddaughter. You think Mama's old and can't take care of your daughter anymore? Don't get me wrong! Hey, Clarissa, look at Papa, you've got grandma..." The middle-aged woman then complained to a three-month-old baby who was in her cradle.

"Let me carry it, Mah."

Binar takes over Clarissa, as usual, she will play with her little daughter when the tavern starts to quiet down. She felt so sorry for the baby, only a few months after she felt the warmth of a mother, and now she will never feel it again. The pain caused the man to close his heart tightly. He didn't want it to happen again, quite traumatized. The most important thing now is how he can be successful with the coffee shop he manages and also become a math teacher.

"When you want to be happy, look for a surrogate Maya. Mama's going back to the parlor, you take care of Clarissa. Sanjaya's family is coming soon" said Melati, who kissed the baby before leaving the store.

...*****...

"Sanjaya's family has arrived" exclaimed the children at the home as they stared at Sanjaya's family car parked in the courtyard. They were cheering, very happy with the family.

Aksa, Aza, Aiden, and Ailee get out of the car with joy. They often go to this home, bring things for the needs of the children of the home.

Melati immediately gave her greetings and invited the family inside. Aiden and Ailee, twins who are now 17 years old, immediately play with children, letting their parents joke with Melati.

"Ailee, where's Clarissa? Why don't I see him?" ask Aiden. The boy's eyes split in search of the existence of the tiny baby he had always longed for.

"Where I know, I'll ask Ms. Melati first, yes. Once I know, I won't tell you because you won't let me carry her" said Ailee, whose hair was braided, as she approached Melati.

"Clarissa's with her dad in the coffee shop ahead."

Hearing that answer, Aiden and Ailee immediately ran away from the orphanage.

"They're always like that" said Aksa shaking his head.

Aiden runs faster, upsetting Ailee, always losing to her annoying twin sister.

"Sister, why are you running it so fast..." Ailee set her breath when she arrived at the coffee shop that was meant by Bu Melati earlier.

"No, the same as always. Maybe you're the slower you get, your body is a little fat," replied Aiden who immediately got a hard blow from Ailee.

"You want to buy coffee?" asked the tall and very charming man, his smile fascinated anyone.

"Wahh, there's an angel, brother! How handsome!" Ailee was amazed to see the Binar who floated that smile. It was like being in heaven, Ailee really liked that guy's smile.

"Aren't you a math teacher at Cendrawasih High School? Ah yes, I remember," said Aiden staring fixedly at the man holding his son in a pink sling. He used to play basketball at Cendrawasih High School and had met with Binar.

"really?" ask Ailee. Although often to the orphanage, but never once he saw Binar because the man was really closed and never appeared when the Sanjaya Family came.

"Yes, he said he was fierce!"

"Hey Aiden, that's impossible. Look at his face, he's so handsome, there's no way he's fierce."

Binar was silent at the sight of the twins who were clashing their mouths. He did meet Aiden, but what if Ailee? He's never met before.

"Are you guys here to buy coffee or to take part in a debating race?" it was Binar who made the twins speechless.

"We want to meet Clarissa" they replied in unison. The answer that the man did not offer.

"Ah, I mean I'm just dropping off my brother" Elak Aiden. He was so embarrassed by Binar, when he met first he was famous for being ignorant, stubborn, and a little naughty. He also did not want Binar to know the other side of Aiden, which is none other than liking a tiny baby.

"Hey, you said you wanted to see Clarissa."

"Just take you! Never mind, I'll be back at the parlor." Aiden kept dodging, and he left Binar and Ailee.

"Let me hold her, give Clarissa to me" Ailee said, preparing to hold Clarissa. But Binar just frowned, why suddenly the boy asked his daughter.

"No, you better get out of here. Look, Clarissa's sleeping. It should not be disturbed" said Binar.

Oekk...

"No, she was crying. That must have missed me. Give me!"

Ailee immediately grabbed Clarissa from the sling of Binar, she then cradled the baby to ask him to joke. Clarissa instantly kept silent in Ailee's arms, smilingly looking at Ailee's cute face.

"Wahhh, my baby is more beautiful. Hurry up, yeah, we'll play together."

"Heyy, why did you say it was your baby? That's my baby!" binar's exchange doesn't take it if Ailee calls Clarissa 'My baby'.
