Narendra sat on the edge of the bed smilingly looking at Aileen who was asleep. He had just finished his bath, so did Glacia who was now busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast for them.
Narendra's outstretched hand stroked Aileen's head. His eyes shone on the princess, until a while later Aileen blinked, then narrowed with a heavy look.
The little girl muttered hoarsely. "Mrs ..."
Narendra smiled again. This time he rubbed Aileen's round cheeks which gave off a distinctive smell of babies waking up. "Morning, Pumpkin."
Aileen opened her eyes. For a moment he was silent, then before long his face turned bright as he shouted. "Fuck up!!"
"Yes, baby. Papa is here." Narendra clasped his daughter's tiny back as she soared. Now Aileen has hugged Narendra tightly while immersing her face in the chest of the father.
"Who is it? Ilen lindu, "the frowning Aileen is spoiled, with its distinctive lisp sura. What Aileen meant, she missed Narendra very much.
Narendra chuckled furiously, rubbing Aileen's hair and back gently. "Father's working, honey. Sorry, Papa didn't call Aileen yesterday. Papa fell asleep on the plane."
Narendra did not say at all that he had a pickiness and lost a cell phone.
Aileen keeps her face away while puffing her cheeks. Her tiny lips pinched with narrowed eyes staring at Narendra.
His behavior made Narendra more anxious. He laughed at Aileen's body, and carried her away from the bed.
"Princess Papa don't sulk. Papa promised to buy you shopping today. Now, let's take a shower. Mama's waiting downstairs."
Aileen hugged Narendra's neck, her head leaning against the papa's broad shoulders. His eyes are still puffy and sweet, especially yesterday he cried all out.
"Aileen plays Papa," he muttered lightly.
Narendra chuckled again. He dyed Aileen's hair which still left the scent of shampoo. "Papa loves Aileen more."
"How much is it?" ask Aileen cute.
Narendra laughs. "Howooooooo. As much as Papa loves your Mama."
Aileen also laughed with joy because she felt the jambang Narendra tickle. "Haha ... Papa smells like mama's millip!"
"Yes, Papa's got Mama's soap on."
"Well, don't you wear Ilen's?"
"If Papa had Aileen, there wouldn't be one bottle. Having Aileen is small, has a big Mama, so it can be used together," explained Narendra reasoned. Actually, he took a bath with his wife, and because his soap was still in the suitcase, so all Narendra used had Glacia.
The little talk continued in the bathroom. Narendra bathed Aileen while continuing to tell stories, which the boy responded cheerfully.
***
"Papa, Papa."
"Hem?" Narendra, who was chewing food, turned to respond to Aileen's call.
"Kemalin, Mama met Om Ganteng," said the boy.
Glacia almost choked as Narendra turned to her. The man looked at her full of probing, questioning the truth of Aileen's remark.
Glacia sighed. "Yesterday Aileen was fussy because she missed you. I took him to the mall for snacks. Then, we accidentally met an old friend of mine."
"Old friend?" Narendra still looked at him suspiciously. The man's manner was so serious, to the point that Glacia felt intimidated. After this, Narendra will demand this explanation.
"Yes, just acquaintances, not close friends. I also forgot a little." Glacia then turned to Aileen who was eating in Narendra's lap. "Aileen, you're dirtying Papa's shirt, son."
"No problem. His name is also a child. You better not divert the conversation" said Narendra. His voice sounded soft, yet also threatening.
Glacia biting lips. After that they refocused on the breakfast at the table. Narendra had even returned to respond to Aileen's endless babbling. But after this, Glacia was convinced that Narendra would not let go.
Glacia grimaces in the heart. If her father had also eaten breakfast here, Glacia could still find a defense. Unfortunately, early in the morning John said goodbye because there was a meeting. The man wants to play golf and eat with colleagues.
After breakfast, Narendra invites Aileen to play in the garden behind the mansion. The man taught Aileen how to plant the right flowers. Accompanied by several servants who took care of her, Aileen actively ran to and fro whenever she saw something that made her curious.
"Father! Pupu!"
Narendra laughed crisply in response to his daughter's call. "Butterfly, honey." He stroked Aileen's hair after removing her dirty rubber gloves.
"Pupu," murmured Aileen, continuing to observe the beautiful winged animal, and trying to touch it.
But Narendra immediately held Aileen's tiny hand while softly saying. "Mama made watermelon ice. There's Aileen's favorite pancakes, too. We've planted the flowers, yuk?"
Aileen blinked, then turned her head towards Glacia in the distance. My mom was waiting for them in the garden. He waved as soon as he found Aileen's sight.
Aileen smiled back widely until some of her newly grown milk teeth were seen. While his eyes narrowed like a crescent moon.
That kid is so cute and adorable. Narendra chuckled as Aileen thoughtlessly ran over to her mother.
"Be careful! Watch your step, Pumpkin!" exclaim Narendra.
Though worried that Aileen had fallen, he and Glacia never forbade the boy from running. Aileen is in the growth stage. Therefore, Narendra let his son do anything while still under supervision.
God, how much he loved those two women. I don't know how many times Narendra's heart bounced every time he hugged them after work. Glacia and Aileen are relievers for fatigue.
"In the meantime, you're cheating. We were suit, and Mama won. The one who got this pudding was Mama!" Glacia exclaimed as she prevented Aileen's hand from taking the only pudding on the fruit ice.
Aileen scowling. He stared at the beautiful fruit ice nanar that lay in the shell of a rabbit-shaped watermelon. Very cute, but he was sad because he failed to get the pudding that his mother always put on the pieces of fruit.
Aileen's lips were about to cry, she also looked up at Narendra who had now arrived before them. Narendra looked at the two in turn.
"Don't ask Papa for help. This is a competition between us" Glacia reminded, as well as thwarting the actions of Aileen who wanted to whine at Narendra.
Aileen puffing cheeks. His hands were closed, throwing his face away from Glacia. The girl looked sulky not wanting to see anyone. Of course, it makes both Glacia and Narendra amused, but they just keep quiet and observe the emotional changes in the child.
"Because Mama won, so this pudding has Mama," said Glacia, as well as Aileen's lips increasingly pursed.
Glacia silently held back a smile. He took the pudding from the top of the fruit soup. His eyes could not be seen Aileen who was still silent, there was no resistance.
Aileen thought she was going to eat her favorite pudding, but she was wrong. Glacia put the pudding into Aileen's mouth.
Glacia smilingly looked at her twitching daughter. "This pudding has Mama's, so it's up to you to give this pudding to who."
Aileen's originally tangled coat was gradually normal. The boy looked at the mother with his innocent look.
"Come, open Aileen's mouth, "persuade Glacia.
In the end Aileen opened her mouth, and she could feel the delicious pudding that had become their grab.
Narendra smile. He knew Glacia was only intending to tease their daughter. Who would have thought Aileen would obey and accept her defeat.
The more here, Aileen's patience is growing. The boy no longer whines whenever he has to wait. He always stays silent when he has to lose something.
But, his indulgence in Narendra was ingrained. He will not budge if it concerns the father, even though he has to compete with his mother though. They often race for the attention of the man.
Narendra chuckled Glacia against the wall. They were already inside the house, while Aileen was still playing with one of the maids.
"What are you doing? If Aileen sees, it's not very good. Move away." Glacia pushed Narendra's body standing as strong as a rock.
Strange, Narendra gestures when it looks relaxed, but why did he not move even a little when Glacia pushed?
"Naren!" whispered Glacia.
Instead of listening, Narendra kissed Glacia's lips quickly. Not just once, but many times until Glacia uncomfortable because the sound of his decapitation has the potential to invite the attention of the waiter. Even though Narendra had taken her to the quietest corridor, it did not guarantee them safety.
"I'm not done with you yet" whispered Narendra in a seductive voice, right beside Glacia's ear. "Don't think I forgot our discussion this morning. You have to explain, Sunshine. Or will I give you a punishment?"
Glacia. "Come, Naren. Why are you taking issue with a child like Aileen? He only knows what he saw."
Narendra. "really. Precisely that, because he was just saying what he saw, it means our son is not lying" he said. "Say, who's that guy you met?"
A long sigh sounded from Glacia's mouth. He looked at Narendra with a clear face. "Don't I just say, he's just an old acquaintance that even I forgot his name?"
Narendra did not answer. He continued to stare at Glacia with a demanding look. It certainly made Glacia confused himself. Facing the jealous Narendra was much more difficult than persuading the rampaging Aileen for some reason.
"Naren's? You still don't believe me?"
"Whatchu mean? I always believed in you. But it's your attitude that sometimes makes me feel alert" Narendra replied in denial.
"That means you don't trust me. Supposedly if you believed me, you wouldn't always be jealous just because of a little thing like this."
"Little thing? Glacy, what I did was to keep you by my side. Where can you call a little thing? I won't let anyone take you away from me."
Glacia looked at Narendra trying to be patient. "Naren, without you taking care of me, I will always be with you. I've chosen you, so you take it easy, okay?"
In a dispute, there must be one who must give up. Glacia will always give up when it comes to Narendra's jealousy which sometimes makes him anxious himself.
Glacia understood that Narendra's attitude was triggered by their past. For Narendra, Glacia's love is still like a dream that she fears letting go.
It seemed, after this Glacia had to think about giving Narendra a special surprise. For the man to know, how big and important Narendra is in his life.
"Am I wrong? Jealousy is human nature, right?" ask Narendra.
Glacia nodded with a smile. "But jealousy should also make sense. Let alone the handsome man out there, I chatted with the gardener only your eyes were like knives."
Glacia's insinuations aren't just nonsense. Narendra's level of jealousy was already that severe. Glacia was astonished, the kindness of what he did in the past to get a man who loved him very much like Narendra.
Glacia clapped both her hands on Narendra's chest, as if removing dust that was not really there. "It has. Do I need to kiss you unconscious so you don't worry anymore? I won't turn away from you."
"You want us to go home, or stay overnight at Papa's mansion?" continued. "You know? Your attitude is sometimes like that of Aileen sulking. For a long time I felt like I had 2 babies if you kept going like this."
After saying that, Glacia pulled Narendra over to Aileen who was playing, inviting him to prepare to return home to Narendra's house. The boy looked a little unwilling to leave his opa mansion.
Although he did not say anything more, but Glacia did not know that Narendra's eyes had been staring at him. He would still investigate the man Glacia meant as an old acquaintance.
