The Affair with my Stepfather
Asa Setik

Patiently, Arsen accompanied Alana on the bed while Kanaya sat down on the end of the sofa.

Kanaya is confused as to what she should do, whether to be there or leave Arsen and Alana alone.

"Mommy.no pelgi.." Alana's whining makes Kanaya step stopped at the door.

"Mommy here...!" Alana whined again as she waved her hand at Kanaya, her nose was about to cry.

If only Arsen glanced at him a little, of course Kanaya would immediately run to return, but Arsen did not seem to care. The boy was only focused on his daughter.

With heavy steps Kanaya also fulfilled Alana's call then sat at the end of the bed while Arsen was at the other end.

The two were silent only occasionally was the sound of Alana's whining uncomfortable with her body temperature still rising and falling.

Their silence is broken with the presence of Hana and the waiter who delivers a tray of dinner for Arsen and Kanaya.

"Please eat Mr. Arsen !" hana said kindly.

Hana accidentally delivers their dinner to the room because she believes that Alana will not want to be left even if only for dinner.

"Thank you " replied Arsen.

"Naya.kamu also have to eat dear, since you arrived do not eat anything "Hana touched her daughter's shoulder.

Kanaya nodded

Hana and the waitress came out leaving her ex-husband and little daughter.

Alana's whining was slowly not heard from anymore as the little boy began to fall asleep.

"Please eat Mr. Arsen" Kanaya said.

Arsen's heart melts because Kanaya calls him Mr. Arsen no longer the Daddy he used to be..Arsen did not like the call.

Because he was very hungry, Arsen took a plate and began to eat as well as Kanaya.

"Why do you have to cook a Rica-rica duck ?" inner Kanaya stared at the plate on her lap.

Kanaya recalls stealing food to deliver to Arsen's apartment unit upstairs..Kanaya cast her gaze in any direction to hide her suddenly foggy eyes.

Kanaya does not know if actually Arsen thought the same thing.

Arsen so enjoy the food that has been included in the list of favorite foods while enjoying a piece of the remaining memories.

It does not feel that now the Arsen plate is empty in contrast to Kanaya. The food full of memories was like a rock that was hard for him to swallow..Kanaya did not finish her food.

"Why not spend it ?" ask Arsen

"Oh my God, the bule finally spoke to me "inner Kanaya.

"It's full "Canaya replied in a stifled voice.

Maybe Kanaya will go back to eating if Arsen persuades her, but of course it's just a dream.

Arsen didn't care.he just asked. After finishing eating the bule went to the balcony and smoked there.

Alana's whining sound back awake makes Arsen hastily grind his cigarette in the ashtray and return to see his little daughter.

"Daddy bobo cini want to peyuk..Mommy also cini ..peyuk also "pinta Alana.

Arsen and Kanaya climbed into the bed and hugged the tiny body of Alana who was in the middle between them.

Before going to bed Kanaya changed clothes Alana who was wet because she began to sweat signs her fever began to subside.

Alana who seemed to be getting comfortable after Kanaya changed her clothes finally went back to sleep in her Mommy and Daddy's arms.

Kanaya and Arsen fall asleep.

Two days later, Alana's condition began to recover and Arsen returned home.

Arsen's return was colored by Alana's heart-wrenching crying voice for not wanting to be abandoned again by her Daddy.

Arsen visited Alana every weekend. Widianto and Hana even prepare a special room for Arsen if the ex-daughter-in-law is staying overnight.

This weekend, Widianto and Hana allow Arsen to take Alana to stay at her apartment.

Alana who has started to be close to Opa and his Oma looks happy when invited to stay.

Kanaya, who feels joined by being abandoned by her daughter, finally chooses to accept the offer of Dimas, her schoolmate, to hang out.

"Where are you going, Nay ?" ask Arman who has returned from Lombok.

"Same brother" replied Kanaya

"Who was his friend ?"

"His name is Dimas my schoolmate.kak why so chatty anyway ?" Kanaya protest.

"Not a fussy but--"

"Kepo "sambar Kanaya while hastily leaving because Dimas' car has come to pick him up.

Arman was just shaking his head at Kanaya's departure. Honestly Arman is happy to see Kanaya back cheerful but he is happier if Kanaya re-unites with Arsen.

After Kanaya leaves, Arman leaves because he has an appointment to go hang out with Simon.

But eventually Simon and Arman did not go to hang out, the two men instead went to follow Kanaya and Dimas.

Dimas and Kanaya went to a coffee shop and had coffee there.

"Next month there will be a reunion of our forces Nay.the place and the exact time will still be discussed again..You came yes " said Dimas.

"If I'm not busy I try to come " replied Kanaya.

"Si Meta and Viona will also come. I called them "

"You know the exact time and place" Kanaya said.

Dimas nodded.

Going with Dimas turned out to be not bad, Dimas turned out to be quite fun. The man remained kind to Kanaya despite his love for Kanaya several times.

"If you don't mind this weekend I want to invite Lu to hang out at my friend's coffee shop, where cool you are, you must love " said Dimas.

"If the place is really cool, I want to " replied Kanaya.

"Surely, Nay.lu would have liked " said Dimas convinced.

Kanaya and Dimas do not realize that there are two pairs of eyes watching them.

"That's Dimas one of the staff in the office.Where do they know him? " Simon kept an eye on Kanaya and Dimas.

"Naya says she's her schoolmate" replied Arman.

Arman and Simon kept an eye on Dimas and Kanaya until they came home and Simon immediately reported the findings to Arsen.

Arsen seemed to respond normally, the bule did not seem to care about making Simon feel annoyed because he considered his efforts in vain.

The Arsen Office

Simon, who was about to enter Arsen's room, interrupted his intention when he found Arsen talking to Dimas.

"What's that Dimas in the morning in the Boss' room ?" ask Simon to the secretary of Arsen.

"Lacking the "secretary Arsen shrugged his shoulders.

Simon, who is about to meet Arsen, waits until Arsen's talks with Dimas are over.

Soon Dimas came out of Arsen's room and went back to his desk.

Dimas took his gawai and sent a message to Kanaya.

[Sorry Nay. It looks like our plan to go to the coffee shop was canceled ]
