Son of Genius: My father's Conglomerate!
Chapter 11: The Story of the Dumb Princess

Black smoke billowed from the kitchen, as Richard stood in front of the stove with a blackened face. The atmosphere of the kitchen looks messy, food and furniture scattered beneath the floor there is also a table.

Uhuk...Uhuk...!!

"Nici's home?!" He said while scratching the nape that did not itch.

"What is Om doing? Do you want to burn down my house?" Nici said annoyed.

"Emh... Excuse me. Om wanted to prepare lunch for you, but...." Richard breathed a heavy sigh.

"Should not, Om did not need to cook for me, I can cook for myself, besides Mami always keep food in the refrigerator, I just keep warming it." Nici keeps her school bag at sopa and walks into the kitchen. He began cleaning the table, stove and put the furniture in the sink. Nici then warms the food for him to have lunch with Richard.

"Well, I didn't see that food. How old are you, Nici? See you're so independent."

"Five five years ahead." Say Nici while pouring the soup into the bowl.

"Be careful it's hot! Let's just say this." Richard takes over Nici's job and tells her to sit down.

"Five years? But you can do your own homework, son, you're great!" Richard did not believe it.

"That's because I'm used to it. My mom, she works every day, I don't want to be a burden." Answer Nici.

Richard was just a beard, he had no more words for Nici. He's too smart to even be called a genius. When considering his age, where maybe this small child can take care of himself and take care of the house.

'Why does the affection in my heart for Nici, the cleverness and the timidity of her face, make me want to hold her. The words she said just now made my heart ache, Shelia had to fight to support Nici alone, and Nici. If only he were truly my Son, Richard's inner.

"Why is Om daydreaming?" Ask Nici wonder.

"No, Om not papa. Continue eating, Om wants to go to the bathroom first." Nici just nodded and continued eating.

'Hem... Is Om Richard already beginning to realize the resemblance between us. I have to keep finding out if he's my father or not.'

In the afternoon, Nici was playing in the living room with Richard, he was like children still love toys such as cars, robots and so on.

Ceklin...!! The door is open.

"Nicki! Mommy's home baby!" Shelia came while carrying a paper bag in her hand, she then put it on the table.

"What did you bring!" Nici peeked at the contents of the paper bag.

"Emh... Here, to... She's." Shelia pointed to Richard, "in our house there are no adult male clothes. When he's, he's got to put Mami's shirt on again." Shelia folded her hands on her chest.

"Well, Om bought Mami's clothes. What am I, Mami?" Nici put on a face full of enthusiasm.

"Of course Mommy bought you this too!" Shelia buys Nici a panda dress with a panda-eared headdress, too, "mayo Mami is wearing it!"

Nici is just flat expression, she thinks her mom bought her normal clothes, why she always treated her like a baby.

"Waw, my Nici is so cute and handsome." Shelia pinches Nici's cheek, until Nici follows the direction of Shelia's hand, "if Mami takes a shower first."

Shelia was about to pass, but Richard's words paused for a moment, "Shelia thank you." Shelia simply nodded in response.

In the evening, Shelia, Nici and Richard were sitting at the dinner table to enjoy their dinner. They look like a small family, making Nici's heart warm up like this is what she always wanted all along.

"Mommy!" Calling Nici, Shelia simply replied with a slight lift of her chin.

"Would holding hands produce children?"

Brush... Uhuk...Uhuk...!! Shelia spouted food in her mouth, while Richard coughed as he choked on the food that slid freely in her throat.

"What did you say, Nici? Don't think about anything beyond your understanding. You're a little girl." Shelia raised her voice.

Nici lowered her head, "i just want to know, how Mami can have me, without Papi."

Degs...Degs...The...!!

Shelia was silent for a moment, Nici's question this time had opened up her old wounds. Shelia got up, without finishing her dinner.

"Mommy!" Call Nici, she feels guilty about the words she said. Nici did not expect her mother would be so offended by her words.

Shelia sat pensively in front of her bedroom window, her eyes staring blankly at the deserted streets. The memories he was trying to forget and the bitter memories he was trying to bury deeply now again incised the wounds in his heart. Shelia knows, Nici does not mean to hurt and bring up her sensitive mass, Nici does not even know what she is going through until she gets Nici in her life.

Ceklin...!!

Niki walked into Shelia's room with slow steps, her head lowered to the floor, "Mommy." He quietly, "sorry." he muttered while looking down.

Shelia let out a heavy sigh, then grabbed Nici's hand and kissed her, "you're not wrong, son, you don't have to apologize. Nici was right, how Mami could have Nici without a Papi. Does Nici want to hear a story?" Niki nodded. Shelia sits Nici in her lap and begins to tell stories.

"One day, there was a stupid princess! He was so foolish as to leave the Palace for the sake of the person he cared about, he even had the heart to hurt the King and Queen who loved him so much. They escaped through the streets in the forest, on the way they met the wolf, his friend said do not run later he chased and we will be caught. Better, you wait here I'll find some wood to hit him, remember you don't run. The princess was silent and obeyed him even though she was terrified. Not long after his friend came with a stick and drove the Wolf away, the Princess was very happy and very grateful to her friend because she had been protected. They also went to a cave to spend the night, the cave that was found by the Princess' friend while looking for wood for the wolf. The princess came in, and first, she asked, Why didn't her friend come in? He just said trust me. The princess nodded with a smile. He believed in the words of his friend. Until he saw with his own eyes it turned out, the person he loved was not a good person, he had the Wolf eat it and now the Wolf was back with one other Wolf, he said, and the cave that he came to right now was that wolf house. The princess could only cry when the Wolf started biting her, the friend she believed instead smiled seeing the princess suffer." Shelia ends the story.
