"Put, why is your face pouting so much?" asked Bunga when he saw his daughter sitting while putting her face on her folded hand on the table.
"Ma, Sunday there is an event at school and both parents must come. The princess was also asked by the teacher to appear reading poetry," the Princess fought with cute pursed lips.
The flower gulped its saliva roughly, why else should there be an invitation for both parents, he thought. Don't they think what about children who don't have complete parents? Surely the children will feel sad, as his daughter is now experiencing. Though actually not entirely wrong of the school because they hope with the event can make both parents more attentive and know the development of their children in school. Because not infrequently, only the figure of a mother who is always there for her child, while a father sometimes ignore the reason they are busy working, making a living. So it's a mother's job to take care of, supervise, and pay attention to everything about her child.
The princess was really confused, especially after her teacher conveyed about the event, children who knew she did not have a father immediately came to her.
"So, you don't have a father so your father didn't come?"
"Yes yes, Put. Kasian, you don't have a father."
The princess only fell silent, lazily responding to the words of her friends. The truth is, he doesn't have a father.
'Oh Allah, tell your daughter to come home quickly. Daughter wants father to come so friends do not talk about Princess does not have a father anymore, ' the Princess prayer in her heart.
Seeing the princess's gloomy face after notifying her uneasiness, Bunga immediately rubbed the Princess's back with a pity. He understood, Princess would want to be like other friends who have complete parents. But whether power, he could not suddenly meet Nathan and say that his son needs his presence at school during the event.
'Pardon the selfishness of mama yes, dear, ' watered Flowers in her heart.
"Darling, how about we ask Om Edgar for help? You agree?" ask the flowers suddenly. I don't know why he suddenly remembered Edgar's name. Didn't Edgar say willing to accept the Princess as his son, meaning it doesn't matter if he asks Edgar to come as his father later? Counting down he learned to be a father.
"Emang Om Edgar would, ma?" Said the Princess of doubt.
"God willing. Later mama asked me, hopefully will yes, baby," said Bunga reassured the Princess.
The princess nodded obediently, though unsure.
Evening came, unexpectedly it turned out Edgar came with a smile on his lips.
"Hi! Busy again?" Greet Edgar when he sees Flowers busy with his phone.
"Eh, brother Edgar. Just another balesin comment reader only," said Bunga while grinning widely.
"Well, you're a famous writer!" praise Edgar who has now landed his butt in one of the chairs in front of the storefront.
"Aamiin, doain aja sak."
"Whose daughter?" asked Edgar while looking for the whereabouts of the Princess.
"Oh, it might be next to you. He played alone on the side" said Bunga lirih. Seeing the look on Flower's face that changed suddenly made Edgar curious.
"You why? Any issues?"
"That sis, the Princess was sad because there was an event at school and both parents of children were asked to come to school. Princess is sad, sister knows what the reason is," complained Flowers make Edgar smile thinly.
"So how good is it? You want me to go to Temenin?" bargain Edgar.
"No, honey" said Edgar, smiling. Flowers are just a head bobble. He did not blush, let alone be amazed. He feels ordinary. Because that's how it is. He had no taste for Edgar. Or rather not yet, he thought.
"Thank you brother. Sorry ngerepotin," said flowers are not tasty.
"Nerepotin coke, Nga. After all, the Princess is my son-in-law and it may be time for me to appear in public to introduce myself as his father. So there is no one who will demean the Princess for not having a father" Edgar said, making Bunga smile happily.
'May Edgar be the right father-to-be for the Princess.'

The day that awaited the children of Kindergarten Hasanah arrived. Children already look neat by wearing traditional clothes so that children love the culture of their own country. They came with their two parents. Some even invited their grandparents. Their faces looked so happy, very inversely proportional to the feeling of the Princess who was moody.
"Princess is patient, maybe Om Edgar is stuck on the road so it comes a bit late," said Bunga trying to calm the Princess whose face is getting moody.
"But what time is it, ma? Soon it was Princess's turn to perform, but Om Edgar hadn't come yet. If Edgar didn't come, what, Ma? Even though the Princess has said the same cement, the Princess' father must have come. If Om Edgar does not come, the princess said Princess is a liar dong? The princess does not want to, Ma. The princess does not want to be told that the child is a liar. The princess didn't lie, Ma. But Om Edgar who can not come," said Putri Lirih. His eyes were even glazed. Heart Flower feels like sliced sembilu see the sad face of the Princess who has now shed tears.
"Daughter wait a minute! Mama try to call Om Edgar first. Maybe Om Edgar was on the road still stuck. Did Om Edgar have said it must come, Princess believe the same Om Edgar?"
The princess nodded in lethargy. His eyes turned towards the stage. There his friends seemed to take turns one by one to go up on stage, some were reciting poetry, some were singing, some were dancing, and some were walking like a child model.
A few minutes had passed, but Bunga had not yet returned to his seat with the Princess. The princess is nervous. Because the atmosphere there was so crowded, Bunga slightly moved away to call. Princess dizzy looking to and fro but never saw the existence of flowers. With her small legs, the Princess looked for the whereabouts of the Flower. Not yet had the Princess find the Flower, suddenly there was someone who called her name making the Princess immediately turn to the source of the voice and her smile instantly broke when she saw the figure who called her.
"Daughter."
"Om good," cried the Princess in a carefree tone. The princess was rushing to run which greeted Nathan with a stretch of both hands. In an instant, the Princess had entered Nathan's arms. Nathan also brought the Princess into his carriage while circling. The princess laughed with excitement to feel her longing that was treated because for several days she had not met the good omens.
But the twinkle was instantly dim when he saw the arrival of two people who were walking towards him.
"Mama," the Princess' great-granddaughter when she saw the arrival of the Flower accompanied by Edgar.
"Daughter," exclaimed Flower who had not seen Nathan's face because of his back position, while the Princess's face was right facing backwards.
Nathan immediately turned his body to see the mother figure of the little girl in his sling.
Instantly Nathan widened his eyes as his neutrals met the Flower Netra. The two were glued to the spot with mixed feelings.
"Machines ... "
"Naa-Nathan ... "
