The Extraordinary Duda
Sincere Taste

Amber stopped her steps. He turned and looked at Arion.

While he was upset and agitated by the man's attitude, Amber forgot the figure of the little girl who loved him so much and always expected his arrival.

If Amber is selfish and reckless, she could break the heart of a child who has given her most of his heart.

Aara, repeatedly the name crossed Amber's mind.

"You know Aara always wants to be with you. Even this morning, I had to persuade her to go to school and lie so she wouldn't be disappointed because of your absence" Arion explained.

"I beg Amber. Now, you're one of the most important people in Aara's life" she continued.

Amber took a deep breath. Feeling upset and disappointed with Arion, must impact on children who do not understand anything.

"May I have two days off?" ask Amber. He needs time to be alone, as well as to strengthen the heart so as not to be easily tempted by all the persuasions of the man in front of him.

"Of course, sure. As long as you come back, I don't mind" replied Arion. The man looked happy. At least, now he already has a definite answer when Aara asks about Amber.

After hearing Amber's willingness to remain Aara's nanny, Arion can now breathe with relief. If Aara had to lose Amber, Arion would not have forgiven herself.

After Arion's return, Amber decides to go to the ballet house and calm herself there. As usual, he used an iron pole as an outlet for all the feelings that burdened his heart. Dancing is her favorite thing, a thing that calms and pleases her heart.

...****************...

After three days of leisurely and idle time, this morning a chauffeur had arrived in the front yard of the Amber house, signifying that the workday had begun.

Although parenting is a job, but not for Amber. Taking care of Aara and taking care of the little girl was not a troublesome thing. It is now a new favorite for the woman.

"Mama Amber!" Aara shouted happily. The little girl was already standing in front of the main door. He was still wearing a nightgown, complete with a doll in his arms.

Aara runs to the yard and welcomes Amber when the car she is riding in stops.

"Mama!" exciting Aara.

"Darling, why did you wake up so early?" ask Amber. He hugged and carried Aara into the house.

"Aara misses Mama. So Aara wait for Mama," replied Aara innocently.

"Mama Amber misses too, honey. I miss you once," said Amber, kissing Aara's cheek with anxiety.

Amber carried Aara back to her room. As they were climbing the stairs, Arion quietly watched Amber and Aara and the door of her room slightly opened.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Aara was ready in her school uniform, while Arion was waiting at the dinner table.

"Daddy!" Aara shouted and ran a little closer to Arion. Amber followed the boy from behind.

"Hi, Honey. How's your sleep, good?" arion asked as he lifted Aara into his lap.

"Hm." Aara nodded. "Aara is happy to have Mama Amber" he continued. Arion smiled, then moved his son to the chair beside him.

"Eat" Arion told Amber. The woman just nodded and smiled.

Before eating, Amber first took rice and side dishes and vegetables for Aara. The woman had gone to great lengths to teach Aara to eat by herself. Despite having many servants and a nanny, Amber wants Aara to learn to be independent early on and not depend on others.

"Today I have a lot of work. Are you ready to stay? Maybe I'll go home in the morning, or even stay at the office" Arion said after the three of them finished breakfast.

"All right." Amber nodded.

"Darling, okay at school. Same with Mama Amber, yeah." Arion rubbed his son's hair gently.

"Ready, Daddy!" answer Aara.

Amber and Aara return to the room to pick up the school bag, and Arion prepares to leave for work. Once all is ready, Amber and Aara are quickly out of the house. A driver was waiting to drive them.

"Amber," said Arion as she was about to get into the car. Aara came in first.

"Yes?" Amber.

"Thank you for keeping your promise to return to this house. Again, I'm sorry."

"Hmm, let it pass."

"Thank you."

Amber nodded and got into the car, Arion helped her close the door. The man waved as the car walked away from his yard.

Hearing Arion's thanks and apologies this morning, Amber felt strange. Amber could feel Arion's sincerity as well as the regret the man felt.
