The Arrogant Widow of Father Choice
Chapter 3

My annoyance was still carried along the way even when I got home.

I don't understand why there can be a human being with such a haughty attitude as the man before.

After refreshing myself I also tried to dampen my emotions by lifting myself to sit on the chair where I was lazing in front of the terrace of my room.It so happens that my bedroom terrace view facing the garden Rima.By accident I again saw Rima playing with the cat she often talked to.

But this time Rima's house looks very crowded like there is a special event.And by chance Rima who was playing was also looking at me who was standing on the terrace of the room.

"Mother teacher Naima....?"

Call Rima wave her hand.

"Haiy....."

I waved my hand too.

"Come here, ma'am...."

Rima again waved her hand at me and asked me to go down to meet him.Of course I was happy to go down to play with him.Because I felt all my sadness was lost if I saw him.

I don't know why I feel so close to him.

"O..so the teacher's mother's house is here?"

Rima asked me as soon as she approached her.

"Dear, it was actually a few weeks ago."

"O..so it turns out we're neighbors huh?"

Ask her again in adult style.

"Yes.as it turned out, haha...."

I replied with a laugh to see the style of Rima that is so funny when invited to talk.As if I was talking to my friend in college.

"So since we're neighbors what if at home don't call me teacher's mother."

I said.

"Why?"

Ask Rima.

"Because if it's neighbors, it means friends.Tell me do you agree that we're friends?"

I asked Rima while reaching out to shake hands.

"Well...the teacher's mother wants to be my friend?"

Ask Rima back.

"Of course..."

I nodded my head and laughed.

"Well, I want to, that's gonna be fun."

Rima said and shook my hand.

"So we're friends?"

I stared at him with my hands still shaking.

"Friends...."

Reply Rima with great pleasure.

"Then if I'm a friend, what should I call you?"

Ask her back.

"You may have my aunt Naima or you may call my name Naima because we have become friends."

My answer.

"Alright then I'll call aunt Naima just let it be polite."

Rima's reply again made me gobsmacked with all the words he said.

"Oh..honey you're such a smart and adorable kid."

I said while pinching her cabi cheeks.

"You know aunt Naima I'm so we became friends."

Rima's story while petting her cat elus.

"Oh yeah, why?"

I asked to keep smiling.

"Because all this time he's been my friend."

Rima pointed to his cat.

"Well, what's the name of this funny friend of yours?"

I also pet the white cat.

"Name as binggo."

"Binggo introduce this new friend of ours is Aunt Naima."

Rima introduced me to her cat called binggo.

"Hi binggo .. fun to be friends with you."

Sapaku who has begun to understand the world of the two of them.

"Rima, why does it look so crowded in your house today, are you having a celebration?"

My toot.

"No aunt Naima, but we're making preparations to welcome someone special."

Answer Rima.

"Wow...Who is that special person?"

Askaqua.

"My dad...."

Rima replied that the look on her face had turned cute.And there was a big question in my mind looking at the expression on Rima's face.

"Oh yeah?"

"Wow...You must be really happy, right?"

I asked again to try to find the meaning of the reason for Rima's facial expression.

And he just shook his head.

"Hey..why?"

"Isn't that good, baby, and your dad must miss you a lot ."

I said and convinced him.

"Aunt Naima, please,actually I have never met my father at all.Grandma said dad has been going abroad since I was a baby to work.Every time I make a video call dad never answer my call on the grounds he so I thought maybe dad didn't want to see my face, then how could he miss me."

Rima's story to me is so innocent.

"Oh..honey.."

I immediately hugged her tightly.To hide my dripping tears feeling sad to hear the story from the five-year-old child.Either why I began to understand that Rima is a lonely child.

"You know, actually the love of a father with his child is as great as the love of a mother.Only they have a little prestige showing that feeling to his child...but in this world there is no father who does not want to see the face of his son let alone not miss him."

Obviously I tried to give understanding to Rima.Although actually I was a little annoyed with the figure of the man who became Rima's father after hearing the story.How can a father so heartless not answer the video call of his son who never he look despite being so busy.

"Ehm.well forget about dad, please,because all fathers are always busy working because they have to fulfill their responsibilities as the head of the family.But do not worry, unfortunately everything will be fine because there is our mother who is always there for us.Justen....?"

I said try to comfort Rima whose facial expression turned sad when talking about her father.

"But aunt Naima, even I don't know my mother.Grandma said my mother left me since I was a baby.."

Rima lowered her head and shed her tears.

"Oh.my dear, forgive me for this friend of yours has made you sad."

I said back hugging Rima tightly.My heart was so soft on hearing the story of Rima.My heart asked why this little boy should know everything he should not deserve to know.So strong his heart he can still smile and play though his parents did not accompany him in his daily life like other children.

"No aunt Naima, now you are my best friend, and there should be no secrets in friendship."

Said Rima who came back with the words grown up.I also returned no power to hold back the laughter of hearing it.

"Well, I promise to be a friend who loves you very much."

I said to hug Rima with all the affection I had.

"Binggo too?"

Ask her in my arms.

"Of course, dear ..now the three of us are friends who love each other."

We laughed so loosely and for a moment was able to forget the sadness of Rima.Although it crossed my mind who was the woman who could leave a daughter as funny and as smart as Rima.

In our laughter so happy arrived Rima's grandfather and grandmother came out of the house and stood beside us at the follow-up with my father and mother who had turned out since bearada inside rima's grandparents' house.

"Dad mom...What are you doing here?"

I was surprised to see the whereabouts of my father.

"Loh Naima, are you here too, son?"

"It's a coincidence."

Dad said it made me confused.

"meaning?"

Askaqua.

"Father and mother meet the invitation of Rima's grandparents all we want to introduce you to someone.We want to ask you first but because you are also here, too,then it's good there's no harm in getting acquainted first."

Answer father.

And I'm getting confused too.

Seriate....
