CHAPTER 34. We Can Live Without Papa

Gao was driving his car to school from Alea, he seemed to be late because before he actually left he had to chat first with a client he accidentally met while leaving.

The clock had shown at half ten while the Art Stage was running at nine which was confirmed Gao was already half an hour late.

"Well the streets stop gini?" Gao glanced and opened the window of his car and looked out and asked the traffic officer who was standing not far from him. "What's wrong with this?"

"Macet sir, there is a collision in front, wait to be evacuated," replied the officer who made Gao increasingly worried about missing his son's art stage.

Gao stroked his own forehead, long enough he waited until the access road could be used again, Gao immediately drove to school from Alea, after parking his car Gao immediately ran in there.

The sound of her footsteps along the corridor to the art room, but when she saw many people coming out, including father and son, Gao became more convinced that she was missing the stage.

Gao looked at the whereabouts of his wife and son until the art room was empty, he saw Alea sitting moody on the bench with Jia.

"Jia, Alea," said Gao running towards Alea. "Sorry Papa, dear, Papa is late."

Gao was about to hug Alea but Alea refused, The little girl immediately looked at the Father's face with a teary face.

"Bad, Alea hates Daddy!" Alea ran out of there.

Jia did not say anything, Gao himself felt so guilty about this that he chose to catch up with Alea but Jia held him back.

"He you to Car Brother, let him calm down first," said Jia who made Gao's steps stopped.

Jia took out something from her bag a paper containing an image of Alea. "At the end of the closing, the children gave this paper to their Father, only Alea did not give it, Big Brother must know the feeling of Alea?"

"Sorry, I."

"I'm sorry to Alea aja sis, I know you have other women you should be with, but you should also think about how Alea feels."

"Another woman?" Gao tickled. "You mean Syifa?"

Jia got into her car where Alea was waiting for her.

"Lea, Alea can't be angry with Papa, either" Jia told her son.

"Gabisa Ma, Papa is evil with Alea, on Father's Day you don't want to come, is it true that Papa has left us?"

"Dear, Papa does not leave us, until someday you will know," said Jia rubbed Alea's head.

Alea looked at Jia then cried softly, the tears that she was sniffing at finally spilling. "We don't need Papa, Ma, we can live without Papa, Mama can cry, we can live without Papa."

"You mean?"

"Alea just saw Papa with the Aunt, that's Papa's new wife huh? Mama don't be sad, I'll keep the same Mama, Papa is evil, he's not my Papa."

"Alea, don't do it, no matter where you are, Papa Gao is your Papa."

Alea did not answer, she wiped her own tears and then kept her silence between them, If she chose to drive her vehicle away from the school area where Gao was still there.
