Same as the Former
CHAPTER 55

"Papa, I'm thirsty." Cheryl's words made all eyes look towards Cheryl who had a plain face but not with Kenzo who seemed to smile triumphantly.

"Chery..." Call Amanda slowly.

"It's okay, Honey." Kenzo said to Amanda.

"Papa?" Ask Willy to make sure that what he heard was not wrong.

Kenzo looked towards Willy. "Yes, she's my daughter and this is my wife. We were married five years ago, just that our marriage wasn't in publication because my wife was still pursuing her medical education abroad." Kenzo replied, leaving Amanda a little surprised.

Willy's face turned pale after hearing Kenzo's words. She is embarrassed to introduce her daughter to Kenzo and dreams of being different with the Wiguna family.

"Sorry Mr. Willy, if there's no business to talk about, we're resigning because my daughter wants to go to the playground." Kenzo stood still holding Cheryl and the other hand holding Amanda's hand, leaving Willy and Riana embarrassed to not be able to puckle.

"Pa, it turns out Kenzo's married." Lirih Riana's.

"Papa didn't know that, the marriage was not smelled by the media." Reply Willy.

"I'm ashamed, Pa.."

"Papa's more embarrassed, Ri. Want to put where Papa's face if he meets Mr. Kenzo or Lord Emperor."

Meanwhile, Kenzo takes Cheryl and Amanda to another restaurant. The restaurant has a playgorund and Cheryl loves it.

"Cheryl is very active." Kenzo said as he watched Cheryl play. Even Cheryl is considered to be so beautiful because in just a matter of minutes, she can have new friends in her neighborhood.

"Ken.. Don't get Cheryl to call you Papa." Amanda said it arrived.

"I don't have a problem with that, Amanda."

"But I'm the problem. I don't want Cheryl to depend on you. We just got to know."

Kenzo was silent and his lips were twisted. He still can't admit what he did to Amanda first, even though the DNA test results have not come out, but Kenzo feels sure if Cheryl is indeed his daughter, a masterpiece that he is proud of.

"What if we just get married?" Ask Kenzo.

Amanda scrunched her forehead. "Hey don't joke this far, Ken."

"i'm serious. I really love Cheryl. Cheryl seems to have a magnet that can make my focus only on her. I worry about him, I also think about his future, I want to be his Papa." Kenzo said seriously.

Amanda shook her head. "We only met yesterday, Ken. Marriage is not that simple."

Kenzo fell silent. He cursed his attitude that was too rushed without thinking about Amanda's feelings. Kenzo also had to mentally prepare to tell his parents about the incident five years ago to now have a four-year-old child.

"Don't forbid I'm close to Cheryl." Kenzo Pinta. "Don't limit Cheryl too to being close to me. Let Cheryl call me Papa 'cause I love that call, too."

"It's hard for me, Ken. We were just strangers before. I don't want to make Cheryl an excuse for anything."

Kenzo clasped Amanda's hand, "Amanda, please trust me. I don't mean to make Cheryl an excuse in any way. I really love Cheryl."

Amanda pulls the hand held by Kenzo as Cheryl comes in breathless.

Kenzo immediately held Cheryl back and took a tissue and wiped the sweat off Cheryl's forehead. Amanda averted her face when she saw that scene that made her chest rumble. So many questions in Amanda's mind, why Kenzo could be so attentive to Cheryl.

"Let's eat first, Papa feed ya." The word Kenzo calls himself Papa and there is a pinch in Kenzo's own heart.

Cheryl nodded and accepted a Spaghetti feed from Kenzo.

"It's so good, Pa."

"Cheryl likes?"

"It's so much, Pa." Reply cheerfully.

Kenzo looked towards Amanda who shifted her eyes. Kenzo knows that Amanda is not used to it and feels uncomfortable with it.

"Tomorrow Wednesday, and every Wednesday, I have no practice schedule."

Kenzo nodded his head. "Tomorrow I'll take you to one place. Be prepared."

"Where are you going?"

"Tomorrow I'll tell you." Kenzo and Amanda just kept quiet.

Kenzo takes Amanda and Cheryl to the apartment, "Cheryl's asleep." Kenzo said, smiling at Cheryl who had fallen asleep in Amanda's lap.

"Let me carry Cheryl."

"No, Ken." Reject Amanda.

"You've got a lot, let me help you carry Cheryl." Kenzo then parked his car and immediately went down to take over Cheryl, Amanda could only follow him.

"What floor is your unit on?"

"Floor 7."

They take the elevator until they arrive at the apartment unit Amanda rented.

Kenzo put Cheryl to bed and kissed her forehead and left her. Of course it was seen by Amanda.

Kenzo circulated his views observing the contents of Amanda's apartment which was quite neat and minimalist.

"Want a drink?" Ask Amanda in a stale manner.

"May if not troublesome." Reply Kenzo.

Amanda made a cup of warm tea because she never bought coffee for stock.

"Thank you." Kenzo replies when a cup of tea is in front of him.

"May I know what Cheryl's full name is?" Kenzo asks to discuss Cheryl.

"Just Cheryl."

Kenzo was silent and tried to be careful if he wanted to discuss something with Amanda.

"Where's Cheryl's dad?" Kenzo asked with more caution.

Amanda was silent, she was confused as to what to answer. But after Amanda thinks about it, Amanda chooses to tell it in order to get Kenzo to step down after learning what happened to Amanda in the past, just like everyone else who has looked at her contemptuously.

"I don't know." Amanda replied at the end.

Kenzo kept quiet and hoped that Amanda would tell him more so that Kenzo would be more convinced by what he had suspected so far.

"I'm an orphan who got a scholarship to study abroad and majored in medicine. At that time I was celebrating our graduation party at a club, but there was someone who pranked me and put the medicine*ngsang in my drink. Somehow the story goes I was taken into the room, I felt my body hot and I undressed myself until I didn't realize that there was a man in my room and at that time my vision blurred and I was unconscious."

Kenzo's heart is beating fast, Amanda's story is as percis as it was five years ago.

"When I woke up, I saw my body wearing nothing and only a thick blanket covering my body. My body ached and I saw a red stain on the sheet. I, who was about to return to my homeland, got dressed and left the club for the airport because my flight was about to depart."

Kenzo is still seriously listening to Amanda's story.

"Until a month had passed, I felt like my body had changed, and my fear was evident all along, I was pregnant with Cheryl and had no idea who the man who gave me the seeds that night. Everyone looks at me cynically, thinks I'm a lowly woman because they think I sleep with any man until I don't know who Cheryl's father is." Amanda rubbed her cheeks wet with her tears.

"You named her Cheryl?" Ask Kenzo.
