The Extraordinary Duda
Arion Maverick
When he arrived at the security guard post, two people who were watching there were surprised to find Amber was holding Aara. But Amber explained to them that she was Aara's ballet teacher and was going to take the little girl home because no one came to pick her up.
Politely, the security guard invited Amber in and Aara took the woman down the front yard.
From the outside alone, the house that is many times the area compared to the houses in general this makes Amber amazed. Large white poles to wide glass walls make him admire in his heart the taste of the homeowner. Moreover, this house has a front yard that is quite spacious, equipped with a children's playground, fish pond, and a place to relax.
The main door happened to be open, Amber wanted to press the bell but Aara dragged her in.
"Daddy!" shout Aara. A thirty-year-old man was sitting in the living room with a cup of coffee in front of him.
"Aara, honey." The man was surprised, he left his chair and hugged the little girl who was waiting for his arrival.
"Don't Mommy come to pick you up?" tanyakanya. Aara shakes.
The man hugged Aara, rubbing her cheeks with dried tears. While Amber, stood looking at the two.
After hugging Aara, the man realized Amber's whereabouts.
"Thank you for driving her home, Miss," said Arion. Amber nodded politely and smiled.
Amber said goodbye because the day was getting late, Arion's phone rang loudly. The man's face looked irritated, he handed Aara to a middle-aged servant who had long since stood behind them.
The middle-aged maid carried Aara away from the living room, and let Amber sit in the living room. But because the day was almost night, Amber could not linger and decided to immediately leave home.
Before returning home, Aara asked to get down from the servant's arms, then hugged Amber's waist and smiled sweetly.
In the living room, it seemed that Arion's anger could not be contained. This afternoon Aara's mother had come to pick her up at the ballet house as planned. But because of the busy schedule and busyness of the mother, Aara had to take the risk.
"Aara's done at three, Claire. If you can't keep your promise, don't ever promise Aara anything!" exclaims Arion upset. The man turned off the call unilaterally and threw his phone on the table.
Divorce is not an easy choice, but that is the best path Arion took since one year ago. He even won custody of the princess solely because of the mother's inability to care for Aara. Not unable to financially, but the woman who gave birth to Aara is a famous actress and model, she has a variety of activities so she does not have much time to take care of her children.
After calming down, Arion left the living room. He searches for Amber and Aara.
"Well, it's okay, Bi. Where's Aara going?"
"Young Miss is in her room."
Arion rushed up the stairs and followed Aara into her room. He saw his little daughter sitting on the side of the bed.
"What's up, honey? You sad?" ask Arion. Aara nodded.
"Mommy must be busy. Forgive mommy, yes," said Arion softly. He sat down in front of his daughter.
"Aara wants a new mommy" the little girl replied innocently. Arion was shocked to hear his daughter's request.
"How can you, honey? Aara has a mommy Claire."
"Aara wants mommy Amber."
"Mommy Amber?" Arion scrunched his forehead.
This is an expression as well as an unexpected request. The five-year-old certainly did not clearly understand the meaning of their conversation, but Arion was surprised if Aara had any thoughts of having a new mother. This must have been triggered by Aara's disappointment with her biological mother all this time.
Arion tries to give understanding to Aara, that the position of a mother can not be replaced just by others. There are many processes and stages to go through. But no matter how hard Arion tries to explain, Aara's age is still not ripe to be able to understand it.
"Tomorrow Aara's ballet rehearsal again?" ask Arion.
"Hm."
"Alright, Daddy will be with you for the whole day. How's it?"
"Yeah! Hooray!" Aara shouted happily.
