The Extraordinary Duda
Defend Yourself

Every problem faced by a husband and wife, the main victim is a child. Children who do not know about the problems and incompatibilities that occur to their parents, must bear risks and burdens that are difficult to understand.

Of course, Aara has a lot of questions about her parents who are no longer together. Moreover, in the past year he was only taken care of by Arion and very rarely met with Claire.

One reason why Amber immediately filed for divorce from her ex-husband as soon as possible was to avoid the presence of children among them. Incompatibility from the beginning was felt, so before the birth of a child, he decided to immediately separate. Before regret will be more burdensome.

"Did Aara really want to meet Mommy?" ask Amber.

"Hm." Aara nodded. He looked up, looking at Amber expectantly.

"Mama Amber can't promise. But, Mama Amber will try to help" replied Amber.

"Yeah!" exclaim Aara happy. The boy immediately hugged Amber with a cheerful face.

Just before dinner, Arion had already arrived home. He immediately cleaned himself up and saw Aara's situation in his room.

Upon arriving at the door of the child's room, Arion peeked in between the open door and found Amber and Aara reading a book together. The two sat on the bed, exchanging laughter.

Inwardly, Arion was happy. It was this scene that he liked, these kinds of things that he wanted.

Arion remembers the times he was still with his ex-wife. Even a few days after Aara's birth, Claire was preoccupied with a busy shooting schedule. The woman went away almost every day and came home at night, so she did not have much time to take care of the child she had just born.

From infancy, Aara was cared for by Aunt Mary. The butler who has served the Arion family for decades is concurrently working as Aara's nanny at once.

Arion has repeatedly asked Claire to quit her job and focus on their daughter, but Claire can't do it. Career is everything in a woman's life, taking off the career she has built since adolescence is certainly not an easy thing. Despite being married to a wealthy businessman, Claire is still reluctant to let go of what is attached to her.

"Daddy!" aara's scream awakens Arion from a flashback of her past. Aara caught the man peeking, the boy got off the bed and ran to his father.

"Hi, Honey. How are you today?" ask Arion. He hugged Aara and raised the little girl to her cradle.

"Aara happy. Mama Amber reads fairy tales" she replied.

"Well, great. Is Aara hungry?"

"Hm." Aara nodded.

"But Grandma was angry."

"Agrified grandmother?" ask Arion.

"Hmm, Grandma is angry at Mama Amber," explained Aara. Hearing that, Amber who was arranging reading books on the study desk shelf immediately approached Arion.

"No, it's not that. The madam just scolded me," interrupted Amber before Arion asked.

"You okay?" ask Arion. He's really worried. Arion clearly understands the nature and attitude of his mother.

"I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about."

"Alright, let's go down and eat together," Arion asked.

"Shouldn't I eat after you're done? I just don't want to make Miss Dayana feel uncomfortable."

"As long as there is me, Mama will not dare to say bad things in front of you. I'll talk to him" replied Arion. "Aara won't eat if she's not with you" she continued.

Amber took a deep breath. He had no choice but to obey the man's orders.

Arriving in the dining room, apparently Dayana had already arrived there. The woman was already sitting with a spoon and fork in her hand.

"Hey, Amber. Please make me squeeze a warm orange into the kitchen. This one tastes bad" Dayana said when she saw Amber sitting in her chair.

"Sorry, Madam. Here I am a nanny and I am only in charge of serving Aara. Please ask the waiter over there for help," Amber replied as she pointed at the two maids standing not far from their dining table.

Hearing that, Dayana rounded her wide eyes. While Arion, he smiles and is proud of Amber's courage in maintaining his principles.
