Daughter of the Widower: The Single Daddy'S Daughter
#6 Beginning for Us

I belong to a lucky class. I often meet people whose looks are not helped. Little sister Nita alone, who was ten years old, was very handsome with her chubby cheeks.

My guess stopped next to my dad's desk. It was impossible to disagree with that handsome face of his. She looks so sweet when she falls asleep! My eyes can look at him 24 hours like a CCTV camera!

“Hhmmm!” he mutters. His head kept moving showing his complaints.

Oh... was he a nightmare? He looks so tired. He had to sleep at his desk. Being tired can easily lead to nightmares.

I'd rather approach him. Trying once again to stand up and directly grab the end of the table. Near his body in front of me. His face is too high. What shall I do then? Do I want to wait for him? Long dong!

Not much time to waste! If the residents of the house find me here, I can't continue my plan. Even worse, I have to repeat the effort for another two weeks! Could be worse. They can make me hold it in my own room because I think I'm going to disappear again! Don't make!

I touched her bent waist. I hope he wakes up. Push it, continue to push it even with baby energy that certainly feels like a 1st earthquake on the Richter scale.

“Mmm?” body jerks.

Push as hard as I can. I won't let him close his eyes again for a second. Wake up!!

“Who?” his head was raised and his hand was holding his forehead.

“Ii iiiih!” right here!

His head turned to face me. His eyes that were still narrowed looked directly into my eyes. Chipper... baa~.

I could feel a jolt back from his shoulder. Again he thought I was not there and avoided my eyes. That huge hand swept his black hair back, some time lingering above his forehead.

“Haa... Again?” he sounded annoyed.

Hu! Iya~ I know~ You don't like to see me. Get used to it or not! Don't think about running away because I've marked you as part of my survival plan.

Now it's time to hand over the emblem of peace. I took flowers in my hair. Fortunately, the flowers still look good.

Directly Iulurkan the flower, “Iii uen uu eppa~” This for papa~

Satisfaction watered me as she returned her attention. There was still a hint of confusion on that handsome face. I think he still wants to 'chew it' before 'swallow it'.

“A! A! Uen uuu ppa~” yes! Aye! To papa~

“Forku?” his finger pointed towards himself.

Duh~ Clever papaku this~ Take me for sure, “Nal! Nal!” aye! Aye!

Eh? It's just my feeling, or his face is soft. Just like when he carried me in the spider incident first. Calm and soothing.

She accepted? Waw. Although I was sure that he would melt as long as I prepared faithfully to keep trying, I never thought that it would work out on a single visit.

His guts soon hardened again. Why is he again now? His eyes were filled with fear. Uh! An unexpected fist squeezed the flower earlier. I should have expected it. There's no way I managed to take his rotten heart in the first try.

The umpteenth time he was surprised and ended up looking at me again. What was he thinking until it was so pale?

Her face was closed again, “why do you want to come here?”

Huh huh?

Back again his eyes looked at me, “hah..” like a swivel comedy back and forth, the next second his face was back closed, “I was crazy to ask the baby.”.

Aaaa... Did he ask me? Why am I here?

The sound of the chair shifting signifies that my papa's body is already standing upright. Wait for. Don't tell me she's gonna call a maid's aunt? Nah!

I immediately sat down trying to start crawling, “Pappa!”

We both seemed to have been cursed directly from the snake queen. I was impressed with my own mouth. My mouth can straightly say stupid things. Rizki could have been angry when I called her that. He never thought of me as—Rizki?

Rizki's tears are clear. There's still some surprise there. I really don't know what he's thinking.

“Why did you call me that?” his eyes were still looking the other way.

Why do you ask me that? Are you producing children without any intention of becoming papa? That's a fair name!

Ja. You don't like it, do you? Sad that the kid you want to throw away is too much to call you papa? Yeah, know. I don't like it either. How else would you like?

“Pappa~” Papa~ accept your wife's struggle—

BRUCK!

—Aaaaaaa! Aa...why did you fall like that?! You know I'm surprised?!

I might subscribe to his name by surprise today. My heart is beating unbecoming. Rizki was already kneeling near her desk. His face looked extremely gloomy bowed with pitch black hair in a mess covering part of his face.

Aaaa... Pa... Papa's? Why pa? Is it sick? Tired, maybe?

“Do.”

Huh huh?

“Don't call me that...,” the vibration of his hand feels sent to his desk.

I let out my breath. Still want to talk about that? Isn't it excessive to act like that just to indulge your dislike?

“... later they... they.. take you too..” his anger seems to surge. His expression was very chaotic.

Them? Take me? Trying as fast as lightning to decipher his words.

I seem to be too indifferent. I was too dismissive of the other reality I heard in the quarrel at the time. Frightened, his family dead, ‘gila’.

I guess... The man in front of me was confused. How bad are things out there with those killers still on the loose? If papa does that, it's already very bad, right?

I was expecting to stop nearby, “Pappa!” my hand touched his face.

His face is back. His hand returned my hand that touched his cheek. His eyes closed as if capturing my little warmth.

Does this mean we are at peace? Yeah. Let's just do it. You will protect me, right?

“Pappa!” smileyswrap.

Without even a second pause, Rizki immediately hugged me. His faint sobs were still clearly caught by my eardrum. His embrace was very gentle as if he was holding a glass cup that broke easily. His warm body screamed all over me saying that he really wanted someone he could hug all this time.

I can't cover my dislike with him. He brought bad thoughts towards the old man in my mind. His words made me very sure to label old— especially Sekar—'s as a bad person.

Rizki is my papa. Getting rid of that status is impossible. I also need it to be safe from chasing people who are still question marks for me. I decided to accept the presence of this man. For the time being I am calm and confident that this man will be my father.
