The Ruler's Widower
Determinedly

Sahira is awakened from his. The sound of a quiet heartbeat resuscitated Sahira last night's heat.

Sahira only realized how foolish he was, easily affected by Filio's touch.

Sahira felt her cheek skin heating up when she realized the beautiful sight before her, Filio's abdominal muscles were clearly visible.

Filio stroked Sahira's hair over her chest. “You don't want to wake up, it's noon.”

Sahira pulls away and covers her body with a blanket. “You take a shower first.”

Filio waved off the blanket covering his body. He walked leisurely to the bathroom.

Sahira closed her eyes, Filio was so shameless as to show her innocent body only using ************ only.

Sahira peeked through the slit of his finger, after making sure not to see the whereabouts of Filio he opened both palms.

Upon hearing the bathroom door open, Sahira's reflexes looked up. His mouth was open to see the sight he did not want to see.

“Do you still want to see my plain body, let's take a bath together,” Filio's tease with smiling lips.

Sahira picked up the pillow behind her head, then threw it towards Filio. Filio swiftly closed the bathroom door before being hit by Sahira's throw.

Sahira bit her lower lip slightly, holding back the smile that was about to rise from her lips. Sahira got out of bed and picked up the clothes. His head kept repeating the smile he had just seen from Filio. He had never seen Filio's smile before.

Sahira patted his chest, as his heart was pounding. “Aware Sahira, he's just a crazy guy.”

After cleaning her body, Sahira goes to the kitchen to make breakfast. There was not much time because he was bad.

Sahira chose a simple menu, oatmeal with a mixture of fruits. With a fairly short time Sahira serves his homemade breakfast on the dining table.

Zeina was ready in her school uniform and sat down at her place to eat. “Waah long ago Zeina did not eat oatmeal, this is very tasty Mom,” praise Zeina. He eats very well.

When Filio arrives, Sahira avoids eye contact with Filio as much as possible.

Filio looked at the bowl in front of him. His head contained memories with Razita, his first wife was always lazy to make breakfast. Oatmeal is the breakfast that Razita always makes.

Sahira was about to feed a spoonful of oatmeal into her mouth but Filio's speech interrupted.

“I want fruit salad.” Filio pushed the bowl in front of him away.

Sahira was forced to pause her breakfast. He returned to the kitchen, took some fruits and a bottle of yogurt.

Sahira started cutting fruit. He was quite surprised when he found the presence of Filio next to him so that he did not realize the knife being cut made his finger hurt.

“Cracked.” Filio took Sahira's finger and sucked the blood out.

Sahira's body just froze, for some reason Sahira likes the warm and deft side that Filio has. In Sahira's view, Filio looked a thousand times more handsome than usual.

After making sure Sahira's finger didn't bleed again, Filio picked up the P3K box and started dressing Sahira's injured finger.

“Why is your cheek as red as a tomato?”

Sahira was in the fog and asked a question that made her very embarrassed. “Iii-this is because I saw blood,” replied Sahira nervously.

“Let me alone,” Filio takes over Sahira's job. He cut the fruit very carefully.

Filio looked at Sahira who was watching him. “Why are you still here, no breakfast?”

Sahira scratches her hair that is not itchy. “Aaah yes I forgot.” At full speed Sahira walks towards the dining table.

Sahira sat down next to Zeina and started eating her breakfast. “Zeina, Papi doesn't like oatmeal?” ask Sahira to Zeina.

Zeina swallowed the oatmeal in her mouth. “Papi used to love oatmeal, Mami who likes to make oatmeal for breakfast. There are many photos taken by Mami when Papi breakfast.”

Now Sahira understands why Filio does not want to eat oatmeal. Maybe the oatmeal reminded him of Razita. Sahira so remembered Rangga, during their marriage he never made breakfast for Rangga. Her ex-husband was not used to breakfast.

Sahira put a spoonful of oatmeal in her mouth. Until whenever the evil of Filio is not forgiven. Sahira will try to make Filio fall in love, and when the time comes. Sahira will dump Filio. A heartless man like Filio must feel the pain of loving.

That afternoon Filio kept his promise to accompany Zeina and Sahira shopping for tomorrow's event.

Filio was like an assistant carrying Sahira and Zeina's belongings. Filio regretted not including Erik.

“I wait at the resto there yes,” Filio told Sahira. He handed over his black card.

Filio went into the restaurant ordering drinks, he looked at the stack of paper bags beside him. The most annoying thing according to Filio. Moreover, her little daughter really likes shopping.

Filio enjoyed a cup of coffee while checking some important emails Erik sent.

Through the tail of his eyes Filio caught the silhouette of Sahira and Zeina. He turned his eyes towards his wife.

Filio approached them, Filio's hands curled very gently around Sahira's waist. “You are okay, baby?”

Sahira glanced at Filio in astonishment. “I'm fine, just hit by a cold drink spill.”

“Sorry I didn't mean to hurt your wife,” the man who spilled the drink into Sahira's body smiled meaningfully at Filio.

Filio who caught the perverted smile of the man in front of him, immediately pulled the hands of Sahira and Zeina.

Sahira pulled out a tissue and dried the sweat on Zeina's forehead. “Shortly yes, I order.”

After ordering a drink, Sahira walked to the bathroom. He had to clean his shirt that was hit by the man's drink earlier.

Capitalizing on tissue alone does not make the stains disappear, but a little lucky because the clothes are now starting to dry. Sahira came out of the bathroom, surprised when the man pinned her against the wall.

“Hi beautiful.” The man in the arms smiled meaningfully at Sahira.

“Go!” sahira. For some reason he felt the man before him was crazier than Filio. This was a public place why this man dared to approach her.

“I like married women like you.” The man leaned his head against Sahira's face.

“But I don't like it, so go!” sahira. He tried to push the man in front of him. But the man locked his hands.

“Release brengs*ek!” snapped Sahira again.

Instead of being scared and letting go, the man is increasingly attracted to Sahira.

Sahira felt lucky as the man staggered once he got a blow from Filio.

An angry Filio beat the man blindly. The man in the armour could not defeat Filio. His body collapsed to the floor, with a bruised part of his face.

It seemed that Filio was not satisfied enough, even though the man had already lost consciousness, he brought a trash can to smash it at the damned man who dared to tease his wife.

Sahira held Filio's hand. “It's enough, he's fainted.”

Filio threw the trash can in any direction. Her hands cupped both sides of Sahira's cheeks, “She doesn't mess with you?”

Sahira could see Filio's worried face. He hugged Filio, “I won't let anyone else touch me other than you.” It felt like Sahira wanted to vomit hearing the flutter coming out of her own mouth.

Looks like Filio got entangled because of Sahira's words. The man hugged Sahira no less tightly.

Sahira and Filio let go of their embrace. “Come quickly Zeina must be waiting,” invite Filio. Filio's hands clasped Sahira's. They joined hands towards Zeina's table.

“Papi and I really long, Zeina can't wait to eat soon,” complained Zeina.

before they came Filio had deliberately ordered some food for their dinner.

Filio stroked the top of Zeina's head. “Byok we eat.”

Zeina pursed her lips, “Papi Zeina wants to be in a bribe,” pinta Zeina with her potent tone.

“Unfortunately Zeina is not shy?” ask Filio.

Zeina shook her head, her mouth open waiting for Filio's bribe.

I don't know why her little girl is so spoiled today. Filio followed Zeina's wishes.

Zeina's food is up, she looks sleepy. Filio finished his meal quickly.

Filio decided to go home, because it was already night. Moreover, Zeina looked sleepy.

Arriving at the house of Vira immediately carry out her duties to cleanse Zeina's body and accompany her master's daughter to sleep.

Sahira and Filio return to their rooms. Sahira notices her groceries and Zeina piling up in the corner of the room. He separated some items for tomorrow's needs.

Seeing his busy wife Filio prefers to go into the bathroom and clean his body. Sahira's words continued to ring in Filio's head, there was a tickling taste in his heart.

Filio came out of the walk in closet in his nightgown. His gaze was fixed on Sahira who was busy tidying things up. “Go take a shower first, needs tomorrow so Vira handle.”

Sahira closes the backpack for tomorrow. His head turned towards Filio. “No need to be done,” Sahira said.

It was Sahira's turn to clean her body. Sahira bathing ritual is not too long, he wants to immediately rest so that tomorrow his body is fit.

Sahira joins Filio who is casually playing mobile. He slid his body beside Filio. Sahira pulled the blanket over her body.

The sound of a knock on the door caught Filio's attention, he got off the bed to open the door.

When the door opened there was the tired face of Zeina. “Zeina wants to sleep with Papi and mom.”

Filio carried Zeina's body to the bed. Zeina hugged Sahira's body tightly. “Mother never leave Papi huh. Zeina loves Papi very much, mom also has to promise not to make Papi sad.”

Sahira returned Zeina's embrace, peeking at the princess' forehead. “Iya dear, mother promised.” Despite promising Sahira was not sure of his words, however, Sahira was determined to avenge Filio's actions.

Zeina let go of her embrace, she changed her sleeping position towards Filio. Hugged his father very tightly. “Papi should love and love Mom. Don't be angry at Mom, Zeina loves you. Zeina is happy that Papi chose Ibu Sahira for Zeina.”

“Papi will try,” whispered Filio in Zeina's ear.

“Mother, Zeina wants in hug mom too,” pinta Zeina.

Sahira follows Zeina's wishes. He hugged Zeina's body, as did Filio who hugged Zeina tightly.

“It's a shame that Zeina couldn't meet Oma and Opa,” Zeina complained softly. His eyes began to close, to go to dreamland.

Somehow Filio felt a feeling of unwearing premonition. But he brushed it away, closing his eyes to immediately go to dreamland following Zeina.

Sahira's body is very tired, he feels like he has a whole family as he wishes. Sahira's hand hugged Zeina very tightly, there was regret in her for lying to Zeina.
