Alfonso knocked on Alicia's room door but there was no word from inside the room. Alfonso tried to pull the doorknob turned out that the door of the room was not locked. Before entering he turned his head inside to see his daughter Alicia was lying on the bed, Alfonso thought Alicia was still awake because there were people singing from the cellphone screen. Alfonso went into the room he frowned right terns Alicia was doing a video cal, Alicia, the man who soon entered the age of 65 years was walking closer to the bed of his daughter he looked at the bed turned out Alicia was asleep then Alfonso raised his head staring at the screen of the phone was Rey still singing while playing guitar. Alfonso stared hard at Rey. Alfonso just found out maybe this is Alicia's habit, before going to bed doing a video call until she fell asleep and the young man why is the man still singing, while Alicia is sound?
Alfonso was getting closer to where the phone was placed, the young man slowly raised his hands and cupped his chest slightly lowered his head like an apology. Alfonso raised his index finger and moved to the left-right to signal an immediate end to the video call.
Rey nodded her head, before ending Rey's call waving while the mob boss stared intently at Rey. Because, not wanting to die in vain Rey ended the call.
Alfonso picked up the phone of his eldest daughter, which was placed on a pillow near Alicia's head. He then put Alicia's phone on the nightstand.
Alfonso stood looking at his daughter's sleeping face exactly the wife, he then rubbed Alicia's hair again, " Sorry Daddy is still reneging on Daddy's promise." He sighed, then looked at Alicia's face with a smile, "If you knew Daddy's past you would understand why Daddy was always so wary when you asked for permission to go out with your friends. No, don't believe it's just Daddy doesn't want it to happen again." Alfonso then turned off the room lights in place of the sleeping lights.
"Sweet dream of my daughter. Trust me whatever Daddy did it all for the good of the four of you. Daddy just wants to keep Daddy's promise to mommy and keep Daddy's oath to God." After saying so Alfonso came out of Alicia's room.
It has become a routine Alfonso, checking his four children from infants until the children are eighteen years old like today. She was still checking her children's room especially at night, she wanted to make sure the children were sleeping and blamed the lights. Because of the habits of children sometimes they fall asleep at the study table. Alfonso did not have the heart to let the children ache because it was not comfortable to sleep he would carry his children and lay them on the bed with a good and comfortable it was a habit Alfonso had done since his children slept alone eighteen this year.
After coming out of Alicia's room, she walked into the living room there was Aleijo who was playing online games with Alonzo. Alfonso sat in the middle of Aleijo and Alonzo.
''Any games? Schoolwork done? Have you studied for tomorrow?'' The same question every night he asked his four children.
''Already, Dad. Daddy hasn't slept? Now it's ten o'clock dad.'' said Aleijo who is still focused on his phone.
''Daddy's son is serious about playing games? So talking to daddy did not look at daddy?'' Alfonso smile. He was never angry if he wanted to rebuke Alfonso always said softly and smiled. Although his words were never quite rude his children already understood he must soon change to do things that Alfonso did not like.
''Forgive us daddy. Again it's about.'' Aleijo and Alonzo apologized and put their phones on the table.
"It's okay, Daddy understands." Alfonso raised both hands that he had stretched behind his two sons. He then rubbed the backs of his two sons, "It's Daddy's teenage son. If only your mommy were still with us she would be a very happy person." His eyes dewed when he spoke to his wife.
"Daddy," said Aleijo.
"Nothing Boy, Daddy's fine. Only sometimes Daddy finds it hard to control the feelings of kangen for your mommy." Eventually the tears rolled down her cheeks. The man has become whiny lately, after finding out his two girls are starting to fall in love with the opposite sex.
"Daddy..." Aleijo stood up to get a drink for his father.
"Thanks, baby."
"Yes, Daddy."
''Jo, high school graduation is still busy with online games? Daddy hopes daddy's kids don't forget the main task as a student.'' Alfonso bent his body open the paperbox, cheese cake? Mommy's favorite.'' Alfonso sighed again, he then took a piece of cheese cake and then fed it to his mouth. Honestly, Alfonso does not like cake or bread, but since married to Leticia he finally learned to eat cake because the wife likes cake.
''Yes, it was brought Alicia for Alisha but because Alisha was sleeping.The cake Alicia loved for Jo.'' explained Aleijo she then took a piece of cake and fed her mouth as well.
''Hmmm...Alisha and Alicia always eat everything that mommy likes.'' He took a deep breath and threw it away violently.
''Daddy miss mommy?'' ask Alonzo.
''Hmm..daddy always miss mommy every breath daddy.'' Alfonso stared at the ceiling of the room.
The miss was even more passionate after he found Alicia was making a video call with Rey until her daughter fell asleep. Alfonso felt failed and was afraid of not being able to educate his two daughters. He realized he was a father not a mother while girls would be more comfortable if advised by a mother because fellow women would understand their feelings better.
''There's a problem, Daddy?'' Aleijo who seemed to know Alfonso's nervousness immediately asked at the core of the problem.
''Daddy's afraid of neglect educating your two sisters. You yourself know your two sisters already have a lover, daddy is afraid daddy failed to be a good father.'' Alfonso rubbed his face rough.
He is not a hypocrite and has not forgotten who he was in the past. This past that always haunts him if there is Leticia beside him he will certainly be appeased by the wife. Because, only Leticia could calm Alfonso down.
''Daddy was calm and Alonzo was ready to take care of them for twenty-four hours. Al, just ask daddy permission Al to take action if anyone dares to disturb them both.'' Alonzo's jaw has hardened.
Alfonso shook his head he refused because he knew his son would definitely play judge himself.
''Why does daddy shake his head? Daddy doesn't believe it, Al?'' Alonzo looked disappointed.
''It's not so, son. Daddy doesn't like to play judge by himself. That daddy's point you two just keep your two sisters out of their lover's mischief doesn't mean not letting them not be approached by men. Daddy understands this is a time when you fall in love with each other, just know the limits. Because, earlier daddy followed Alicia in the daddy mall saw that young man did not deserve to be Alicia's lover. You two keep an eye on Alicia from the guy but remember don't be a vigilante especially you're Alonzo. Daddy is tired of being called your BP teacher every day.'' said Alfonso at length.
"Good, Dad. We understand. Aleijo and Alonzo will guard them from the mischief of their lovers." Aleijo and Alonzo replied simultaneously.
Alonzo smiled cynically as he understood what his father meant. The three men enjoyed the cheese cake Alicia brought. After eating the cake they go to bed because the clock has shown twelve nights.
''Good sleep my children.'' said Alfonso when his hand was about to pull the doorknob of his room
''Sweet dream daddy.'' reply to the two simultaneously.
