"Today, Papa and Al are going to the farm" Antonio said after finishing breakfast. Since he officially became a Grandfather, he has always wanted to be close to Alvian.
"Take it! Al wants to see horses with rabbits loh Ma," said the boy with great enthusiasm. He glanced at the Papa who was smiling at him. "Papa, cama Mama's at home."
Aina and everyone in the dining room chuckled at Al's words. "Mama's also planning to go out for a while. So Al played with Grandpa first ya."
"Where are you going?" el Barack asked, with his eyes closed. Since the incident last night, he was increasingly curious about Aina, although her curiosity was a little excessive.
"That, I .. um, that means I want to meet Yuna. He doesn't know we're married yet so I'm gonna see him for a minute." Aina looks misbehaved when the eyes of El eagle look intimidating.
El Barack felt so familiar with Yuna's name. He often heard and met. "What Yuna do you mean is the assistant planning manager?"
"Yes right" said Aina. Until now Yuna is still working in Rich Group with a position as assistant manager. Yesterday he was too shocked to forget to tell Yuna.
"Then you go with El" said Antonio, who has been busy serving his grandson. So happy was a middle-aged man who longed for grandchildren.
"It's not necessary, Pa. I had to bathe Al, get her gear ready for the farm too. I can take a taxi, Mas El has to leave early in the morning to the office." Aina glanced at El who was still looking at her.
"No problem. I'll wait until you're done preparing Al's stuff, we'll go together to the office." El stood up from his sitting position and immediately hugged the son. "Al's coming with Papa up."
"But he said he had to leave in the morning?" aina asked as El Barack was about to leave.
El Barack turned back, looking at his wife who was waiting for an answer from him. "Does anyone dare to rebuke me for being late? Ai, it seems like you forgot who your husband is. Get ready, I'll bathe Al."
El Barack stepped out of the dining room with the son while Aina and her father-in-law were still there watching El disappear from the door.
Antonio turned his gaze towards the son-in-law, he knew it must be hard for Aina to accept this marriage and also definitely at the beginning of the marriage it was difficult to get used to someone foreign.
"Aina, Papa hope you can be more patient with El. Sometimes he's the one who happens as he pleases. But actually he's a caring man" Antonio said in a soft tone.
The curvature of a smile expands beautifully on Aina's pretty face. He thought Antonio was cruel and scary, but he was wrong. "Yes, Pa. I used to face his attitude first, so now it's no wonder."
"Haha right too, secretary Ai. It used to be only you who could last a long time as his secretary. Oh yeah, Boril said while living alone in the suburbs, you sell cakes?"
"really. From the results of selling wet cakes that I can meet the needs of my life and Al. My friend Yuna offered to work as a woman in one company, but after."
Suddenly Aina's eyes seemed to be glazed, if given how she struggled while living in the region with a little savings and the results of selling cakes.
Antonio continued to look at Aina, he knew her daughter-in-law had gone through a lot of difficult things to market Al. "Thank you, Aina. You've educated and raised Al well."
Aina turned her face to wipe away the tears and then looked back at Antonio. "Ehm, it is indeed my duty, as his mother. Then I'll go to the room first, Pa."
"Wait a minute." Antonio stood up from his position while taking something out from inside his pants pocket. "Papa knows you will get bored if you are at home without doing anything. For that Papa has bought you a cake shop, all the equipment is there, you just set how good it is. It's the key."
A momentarily Aina was stunned as she looked at the key in Antonio's wrinkled hands. "No, Pa. I can't accept this gift." Aina could only shake her head.
"But this ...." Aina could not continue her words because Antonio had already stepped away from the place.
***
At nine in the morning, Aina and El Barack had already reached the company basement. When going down, El looks confused to see the behavior of Aina who continues to monitor the situation. "Hey, are you going to commit a crime. Why are you clucking like that?
Aina turned to look at El while trying to remove her seatbelt. "I just don't want anyone to see us together. We're newly married people will be surprised if you get out with a woman from this car."
Ck, does he intend to cover this marriage from everyone. The name of the wedding that is officially recorded must of course be announced, the inner El Barack.
"Ehm, I want to invite you to work together for the privacy of Alvian's identity" El said as he changed his position to face Aina. "I don't want the media to make bad news."
"What do you mean?" asked Aina who looked confused.
El-Barack leaned his body closer to Aina. "Listen to me carefully. All you have to remember about our marriage is, we got married in Melbourne four years ago and Al was born one year after that wedding."
Aina nodded her head, she could immediately understand the meaning of El's words. Yes, which mother wants her child to be branded a child outside of marriage. It was a fact that Aina always took care of for the mental health of the son.
"I get. So let's just say four years ago we loved each other and got married in Melbourne." Aina still seemed hesitant until she seemed to think hard. "But it's the same as we're berb-"
"Sst." El placed his index finger in front of Aina's lips. "You need not doubt. Just follow me, now we're out together. I'll publicize our relationship in front of all the office employees."
"Huh?" Aina rounded her eyes. "But I'm here to meet Yuna, not to follow your idea of a guilla." He kept looking at the unbelieving El. He did not think, why the man always had such a spontaneous idea.
Instead of answering, El went outside and circled the car to exchange the door for Aina. "Come out, are you ashamed to be my wife?"
"It's not. But we've never talked about this. Look at me here just using cheap dres and boots."
"What's important, you don't have to listen to people's responses, just look and trust me" said El, who began to look upset.
"But I also do not wear makeup and my hair is also tied sober.Tuan, I can not agree to the idea, later on yes," said Aina while putting her palms together, Aina said, begging El to change his mind.
"Why indeed?" El Barack's annoyance almost reached the peak when Aina seemed to lower herself. "You are the wife of El-barack Alexander, in my eyes you are more beautiful than the women who show off their social status with branded goods and expensive jewelry!"
"W-what?" Aina hoped that if just heard wrong. But it will not be enough if you do not make sure. "So you said I was pretty?"
"Huh?" Fill El's head suddenly empty. He was confused as to why those words had escaped his mouth.
