New Daddy To My Son

"I just want daddy," her son muttered. Lily only smiled bitterly after hearing that sentence. A simple request that turned out to be very difficult for her to realize. The long-haired woman was silent for a long time while looking at her son who was busy eating lunch."Want more, hmm? Fried tempeh or fish?" she asked with a face that looked cheerful again."No, I don't. I'm already full," Farel refused quietly. "Did you hear what I said earlier? I want you to come to my birthday party.""I-yeah. I'll try, sweetheart," Lily replied, not sure."Or should I call daddy instead? I miss him already." Lily's frown made the almost four-year-old pout instantly. "What's wrong? Daddy doesn't love me anymore?""No! Who said that? Daddy is busy working. You have to be patient. I will call your daddy later. Now quickly finish eating, then take a nap. Okay?" Farel's nod made Lily breathe a sigh of relief. In her heart, she cursed her ex-husband who had not given any news

"Daddy, stay here. Don't go anywhere else," Farel pleaded with his face still looking pale."Honey, it's okay. The nurse wants to put your IV in first. Soon the medicine will be inserted. Listen to mama, son," said Lily who was almost frustrated. Farel was about to rebel, but the body of the adult man who he thought was his father was getting closer. So he nodded and finally obeyed not to move anymore."Pain is bad. So you have to get better quickly," he said in a flat voice. However, it succeeded in making Farel happy because he felt cared for."You promise not to stay away from us anymore," Farel murmured with a sad look in his eyes. "Tomorrow is my birthday. My friends will ask me where I am again. So don't go.""I have-"These words were interrupted when the doctor who was treating Farel came into the room. "Good morning. Wow! Did you lose the IV?""Sorry, Doctor," Farel grinned, showing his horse grin. "I was too happy to see my daddy."The doctor turned to the man in

"We're not going to do battle in bed," Keenan muttered with a lopsided smile. Lily's face, which had been looking tense, now looked flushed. "Why, are you not getting enough petting, hmm?""Watch your language!" snapped Lily then. What he just said offended her pride. Ah. She had almost forgotten that she had lost it since she decided to marry Adrian."So how was it?" Keenan did not care about the change in his interlocutor who looked depressed. "Since you're silent, then I assume you agree. I'll take care of this with my lawyer. So tell your son that I'll be back." Without wanting to hear Lily's reply, the arrogant man just walked away. Now Lily sat on the sofa in her son's luxurious treatment room. On the other side was her aunt who was already fast asleep on the bed beside the patient. While she had still awake since two hours ago. Lamenting the seemingly endless misfortunes of life. She had married Adrian for love. Soon she would do the same, but this time

"Sorry, sir," squeaked Lily in her hoarse voice."This time I forgive." Keenan looked at her sharply. "Listen carefully, Lily. I don't like you calling me in such a high tone. Be obedient if you want me to treat you well."              The woman nodded silently. Then she walked side by side with Keenan back to the car. The place where his son was now."Dad, where are we going?" asked Farel when the two were on each side of his left and right."You just wait. We'll get there," Keenan replied with his cold and flat face. That made Farel look down and no longer said anything."Hey, what did daddy say earlier, hmm? He wants to give you a surprise. So don't disturb him yet," Lily whispered as she rubbed the top of her son's head. "Daddy's like that because he's afraid he'll say something, honey.""Oh. Yes," Farel said quietly.        

"Awwh!" The woman winced as her hand was grabbed firmly and jerked violently. She growled and then turned to the perpetrator. "Keenan??""This is my house!" Keenan gave the woman a sharp look and then pulled her quickly out of the room."Keenan, come on. What kind of charade are you doing, heh? I know that you're pressured to get married, but why does it have to be with a one-child widow anyway? Look at me!" The silver-haired woman confidently approached. "I can be your wife."Unfortunately, Keenan laughed discordantly. "Lisna, stop making things up. You'd better go home now.""I'm serious. What am I missing? Oh my. You're probably being patted down by that woman."Keenan snorted softly then said. "I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Go away."            Meanwhile, inside his room, Farel was listening to Lily's explanation regarding the incident."It's okay, sweetheart. That a
