“Now it's autumn. How about we go on vacation to the beach?” hugo asked Frisia at breakfast.
Shadow only listened while serving Moreno.
“Do you want to go to the beach, Moreno?” ask Hugo again.
“What does the beach look like?” Moreno turned his question to Shadow.
“That beach is the waterfront with the sea. Here, the edge of the water with the lake,” is obviously Shadow.
“Isn't it the same?” ask Moreno.
“Sea water and lake water are different. The atmosphere and the weather are also different. If Young Master has never been there, I suggest you go see once. After that you can conclude whether to like it or not.” Shadow smiled sweetly at his son.
“Good, I want to go there!” Moreno said confidently to his father.
“Good! You'll love it,” Hugo said.
“But Shadow must come!” add the little boy again.
Hugo did not answer.
“If he doesn't come, I don't come!” the boy said he didn't care. He again asked to be fed by Shadow.
“Alright ... Your nanny can come!” Hugo did not hide his grim face. But Moreno didn't understand that his father wasn't happy. He was happy to go out of the house again with Shadow.
The next day, Shadow had Moreno ready early in the morning. They'll leave after breakfast. The boy looked very enthusiastic to see the shape of the beach.
“Is there anything left behind?” ask Hugo from the front seat.
“Mrs Frisia are not in yet,” says Shadow.
“He brought his servant. So follow with another car in the back,” Hugo said coldly.
“Let's go!” orders to the driver. Two cars go hand in hand to another city that has a beach.
In the car, Moreno asked Shadow a lot of things. Whatever he saw, he asked. And Shadow answered him patiently. In the front seat, Hugo leaned back his back and closed his eyes. He pretended to be asleep, but continued to listen to the conversation of the son and the nanny.
“Why can't Frisia get close to Moreno like this nanny? My son can now be more cheerful since two months ago Shadow came.” Hugo kept thinking.
“Why did Grandpa choose such a woman to be Moreno's surrogate mother?” Hugo was inexhaustible. But he was helpless with his Grandfather's pressure.
“May all this soon end well,” her inner self.
They arrived at the beach in the afternoon. Moreno was overjoyed to see the white sand lying in front of the hotel room. He impatiently ran and set his little foot on the beach. Shadow chased after, thinking the child would instantly plunge into the blue water.
“Young Master!” shaytan panicked. But the boy immediately turned again to the terrace of the room while crying.
“Panaaasss ... huhuhu ... My feet are hot!” crying loudly.
Shadow immediately carried him to the bathroom and placed the child in a bathtub filled with cold water.
“Is it still hot, Honey?” ask Shadow to worry. He blew that tiny foot away sadly.
Moreno was still crying. Shadow hugged and rubbed his back. “It's okay. It was just sand that was hit by the sun. Later will also be healed,” persuade Shadow.
“But it hurts!” Moreno insisted.
“Iya, sick. I'm here to take care of you now. It's nothing.” Shadow carried Moreno in an embrace and kissed him to soothe the boy's cries.
Hugo who had run away immediately heard Moreno's cry and followed to the room, stunned to see Shadow's attitude that was so sincere and full of fanfare to his son. He left quietly, not worried at all. Somehow, he believes Moreno is in safe hands.
it was really shady, then Shadow brought Moreno out. He put on sandals so that the child would not have to fear the sand anymore. Slowly but surely, his trauma to the hot sand, has gone. They play sand castles on the beach. Chase with the waves and roll with wet clothes until the evening.
“What is Young Master happy?” ask Shadow.
The boy nodded and skipped around nimbly while being bathed by Shadow under the shower.
“Switch a little. There's a lot of sand on your scalp,” persuade Shadow. But the boy kept prancing around and interrupting Shadow's work. Make him not finished - finished cleaning sand grains in between his son's hair.
Hugo, who was about to take dinner, was stunned to see Shadow's wet body under the shower. He gulped before hurriedly coming out from there.
Finally the more playful show shower was over as well. The two of them came out of the bathroom after they had finished their bath. Shadow checked his flickering phone. There was a message from Hugo, telling him to hurry to bring Moreno to dinner.
They prepared quickly and followed to the restaurant. There was only Hugo waiting at the table. Moreno came up with a bright face and immediately sat down. Shadow took the food for the two of them, because Hugo was done first.
Shadow didn't see any other dirty dishes on the table other than Hugo's. But he didn't want to know why Frisia didn't eat together.
“Do you enjoy playing on the beach?” ask Hugo to his son.
Moreno's sparkling eyes in a nod of his head were already the answer. “I'm happy!”
“Then, quick rest tonight. Tomorrow's a long day at the beach. The day after we return,” Hugo said.
“Ya, Father.” Moreno answered obediently.
Shadow can sleep with Moreno tonight. He carried the child in his arms and soon fell asleep.
The second day of vacation on the beach, Moreno was still the happiest. Shadow just followed him. Until they enjoy lunch at the seafood restaurant by the sea. The food was already ordered by Hugo and ready at the table. Frisia was sitting there.
“I'm going to the toilet, Shadow,” take Moreno. Shadow nodded.
Hugo let the two go and started to take his food. There is also Frisia. At the other table, Frisia's personal servant and two drivers, were also eating. Then there was a commotion that made Chief Hugo look directly at it.
“I'm sorry that I didn't
be careful,” said Shadow bowed. He hid Moreno behind
his back, so as not to need to see the anger of the person he had just hit
by accident.
“Sorry? That little boy made my food spill!” the woman was angry.
“You can order again, I will pay it,” said Shadow please understand.
“Hah! Pay out? Are you the mother of this child? Are you very rich?” ask the woman disrespectfully. People started whispering unhappily.
“I'm the nanny,” Shadow replied, still with her head down.
“Only a nanny, pretend to change my food. That's an expensive meal that you can't necessarily pay with your salary a month!” it was loud and attracted people's attention.
Shadow was silent. He didn't know what else to give the woman who just wanted to make a fuss.
“Now you shut up, Heh!”
Plakk! A loud slap, landing on Shadow's cheek. “You have too much nonsense!”
