Pursuing the Duplicate Love of My Wife
14. Miss Syifa and Daddy are getting married

Joe nodded. "Yes. I'm so sorry Syifa, because I didn't realize it. What I've been thinking about since yesterday is to get you into a relationship" he said with a guilty face. But Joe really felt hurt.

Moreover, he also imagined Robert's face later after hearing the story from him, surely the boy was very sad and languished.

"It's okay, sir," Syifa said with a faint smile. "But if you may know, what this Father did for Robert?"

"Yes." Yeah." Joe nodded.

"That's not from the heart, yes, and you don't like me."

"From the heart, Fa," replied Joe quickly. "And when it comes to his liking, I still doubt my own feelings. But you need to know also, if the day when we first met .. I could never sleep because I kept thinking about you. My heart also beats faster every time I look at your face" she explains.

However, for some reason everything that Joe threw out sounded like a fistfight. And made Syifa instantly speechless.

He was confused as to what kind of response. But indeed from the bottom of his heart, he did not hold any taste to Joe. Moreover, they only met a few times.

Teeett ... Teeett ... Teeett.

Suddenly the sound of a bell sign for class. His voice that was loud enough to make the two people who were silencing were shocked.

"Ah, it's in, sir. Then excuse me for teaching, okay?" Syifa stood up holding a bouquet of flowers, then bowed politely. His feet were about to step, but it was immediately stopped because Joe called.

"Wait a minute, Fa!" prevent Joe from getting up from his seat.

Syifa. "Why, Sir? I think everything's clear, right?"

"It doesn't matter if you reject me. But please accept ...." Joe immediately reached into the pocket in his suit to pick up a box of rings. He forgot to give the thing, but the intention of the ring was given if Syifa received it.

However, despite being rejected, it doesn't matter if the ring is given. Toh—indeed his intention Robert bought it for Syifa.

"Here, this ring please accept," Joe asked as he opened the ring box. And showed it to Syifa.

Syifa looked at the sparkling ring, the first time she saw such a luxurious ring.

"Sorry, Sir. I can't take the ring." Syifa. He feels bad. Joe's been rejected, so the ring is not acceptable either.

"Why? Just accept it, Fa, I beg .. who bought it is Robert, please respect him."

"But it's too expensive, I can't take it, sir," Syifa refused again with a headband.

"It's not expensive, and you can't refuse it. It is also a form of sustenance. Please accept, yes." Joe looks pushy, he has taken the ring from the box, then grabbed Syifa's right hand. "I'm sorry, I have your hand on it" he said, then linking the ring. It looks very fit and suitable.

Syifa looked silent. Confused what he should do. But on the other hand, he felt an amazing thing when he saw the beauty of the ring that had been coiled in his sweet finger. Joe was the first to give her a ring other than her parents. That certainly makes it a new experience.

"It's pretty and it fits. You look even more beautiful, too" praised Joe with a smile. But clearly, there was a hue of sadness in his eyes.

"I don't feel good wearing it, sir, I'm rejecting you." Syifa was about to release the ring again, but Joe was arrested.

"Don't removable. No matter you reject me, I appreciate that, everyone can express their opinion, Fa," said Joe by trying to be ordinary, although he honestly endured the heartache.

'It turns out Mr. Joe was a very nice guy. But unfortunately he's non-Muslim, Syifa's inner disappointment. "Thank you, sir. Then excuse me, good morning," he said.

Slowly Joe massaged his forehead, because he felt dizzy in the head. His breath sounded angry. "Rob .. sorry Daddy. Miss Syifa is your duplicate Mommy, but she's not your new Mommy candidate."

At exactly 12 noon, all SD students from grade 1 to 6 were out of class. They are ready to go back to their homes.

"Rob, today play to my house, yuk! I have a new game, you know. My dad, who just came home from America, bought it," asked Leon, who walked with Robert, out of class. She was his classmate sitting in the back. Like Robert, he is also a Christian.

"Tomorrow, Leon, because I'm going home from school to Daddy's office. There's something important to talk to him about" Robert said.

Sandi the driver has opened the door for his employer's son.

"Oh that's okay, it's okay" replied Leon. "Eh but, said the Maira .. he had seen your Daddy and Miss Syifa chatting in the cafeteria, Rob." Maira is their classmate too.

"If that I know too." Robert immediately smiled. Both of his cheeks instantly blushed.

"When about giving flowers and rings all you know, don't you?"

"Tau, that's my Daddy again expressing love to Ms. Syifa." While passing, Robert saw Syifa clearly wearing the ring he had bought. So that he feels sure—if Joe is definitely accepted.

"Well! I think soon you'll have a new Mommy, yeah!" goda Leon nudged his friend's arm. Robert was already excited, even his legs had started prancing around.

"Yes, Leon. Soon Miss Syifa and Daddy are getting married. And I'm gonna have a new Mommy!" robert jumped up and down..

"Who's getting married?!"

Someone from a distance called out. And made the two boys look over. It turned out that the one who called out earlier was Juna, but he was not alone. Except with Atta and Baim.

"This, said Robert ... Ms. Syifa and her Daddy are getting married to friends" Leon said. The three friends stepped closer to him.

"Well, seriously?" Baim looks enthusiastic.

"It's great that your Daddy, Rob, can get you Miss Syifa," Juna praised and patted Robert's left shoulder.

"What's so great, Jun?" ask Atta wonder.

"His Daddy's Robert's widower, has a son too. While Ms. Syifa is still a girl. Aye, right?"

"Oh yes!" Atta mangosteen. "Yet, his great Daddy Robert could conquer Ms. Syifa's heart. Besides, Ms. Syifa is also beautiful and kind, isn't she?"

"Yes." Yeah." Robert nodded with excitement. It was so good to hear the compliments given by his friends.

"The important point, Ms. Syifa also does not like gossip. Not like Bu Gisel who lemes," Baim replied. The five boys giggled, laughing at his high school teacher.
