The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
Slap

Plaque... Plaque... Plaque...

Three slaps landed on both cheeks Andre given by Mama Anisa to her son. He was really fed up with the temperamental nature of Andre who could not control it. Fortunately, he never took it out on his children, but I don't know what possessed him to use the three innocent little boys as an outlet.

Andre just fell silent to let his mother vent all her anger on him. It's his fault, so he won't defend himself just to get his family's forgiveness.

"Not having your heart, Ndre. If you are rich in gini, what difference do you have with Aneta and her husband's family? You did not torture his physique, but you dropped his mental torment" Mama Anisa joked while crying.

He really couldn't see his three grandchildren being hurt inwardly like this. She did know that the company owned by her husband and children faltered but that was not a reason to hurt one of her family members. They must be united and compact to solve all the problems that exist, instead of hurting each other like this.

Papa Reza who saw his wife floundering immediately approached Mama Anisa. While Andre still lowered his head because he felt very guilty. Nadia and Anara hug each other while crying because they see the mother and child quarrel.

"Ma, take care of your emotions. Don't let Anara be shocked to see the violence in front of her" whispered Papa Reza right on his wife's ear.

Mama Anisa just nodded her head weakly then sat back in her chair. Arnold and Abel's bed vault is pushed by several nurses out of the IGD room. The five immediately followed the course of the gurney all the way to a VIP inpatient room. The family also asked Arnold and Anara to be made into one room to make it easier for them to keep both.

"Anara came home with grandma and grandpa. It's not good for a child to be in the hospital" asked Mama Anisa.

"No way, grandma. Nara wants to be here with mother, Abel's sister, and Arnold" Anara refused while shaking her head.

Mama Anisa and Papa Reza persuaded Anara to return home, but the girl was determined to stay there. Nadia who saw her parents had been wrong to persuade Anara was finally intervening.

"Sister Nara, go home with grandma and grandpa. Brother Nara needs rest, you do not want it if you get sick rich Brother Abel and Arnold? Young children should not stay in the hospital for too long unless they really need the help of doctors and nurses. Tomorrow Kak Nara can come again with grandmother and grandfather to their parents, mother tonight must take care of both" said Nadia gently.

Anara was silent for a moment thinking about Nadia's words. He was actually afraid if he had to stay away from his two brothers, but he also did not want to be sick because he was in the hospital for too long. Finally Anara nodded her head in agreement with Nadia's proposal.

"Promise your mother if you will take care of Brother Abel and Arnod. Don't be yelled at, pity them" Anara recalled.

Andre who heard the subtle insinuations of his son could only sculpt. Moreover, it was insinuations like stabbing his heart. From earlier, Anara did not want to get close and even talked to him. Nadia simply answered Anara's warning by nodding her head.

Mama Anisa also said goodbye to Nadia then passed away leaving the girl and Andre who was still standing. While Papa Reza approached Andre then whispered something that made Andre feel very sorry.

"Ndre, you solved the company's problem not alone. There are papa and mama who will help you, don't think too much. The important thing is that we are united and unbroken like this that will make your opponent feel victorious. Even if our property is exhausted, we still have families who support each other in order to get back up" whispered Papa Reza then passed away from the hospital room of his two grandchildren.

Nadia who saw Andre was very chaotic immediately pulled the two hands of the man to sit beside him. There was no way she would let her husband rest under her feet. Nadia immediately hugged Andre tightly while continuing to rub her husband's wide back gently.

"Don't do it again with the kids. Their brains and memory are still innocent, bad events like this will continue to be remembered until adulthood later. Do not let the consequences of this, their attitude will change to you and imitate it later as adults" advises Nadia.

Andre nodded his head in understanding in his arms to his wife. He promises in his heart to hold back his emotions when in front of children if they are facing problems. She wants to be a good father figure for her three children.

"Please rebuke me if I start to have signs of losing control" whispered Andre.

Nadia just nodded her head. It is his duty as a wife to reprimand her husband if he is wrong and always help her in a difficult situation. She wouldn't ask what kind of problem her husband was facing until his emotions got out of hand like this one afternoon. He will give Andre time to be more open to him.

"If there's a problem, tell me. Maybe I can't help you much, but I will always try to calm and support you in the face of all problems" Nadia said.

"Thank you" said Andre.

Only a thank you can be said Andre to his wife. He is very lucky to have a wife as good as Nadia who wants to accept his three children and also her imperfect self. Treasure is important, but without family it will worsen loneliness.

"Let's go to sleep" Nadia asked as she took off her embrace from Andre.

Andre also arranged a sofa cushion that they would then occupy to sleep together. The spacious sofa seat makes them choose to sleep there. The two sleep hugging each other in the hope of taking a break before facing the cruel world.

"Mother... Please Abel, be afraid." cried Abel while crying even to grab his hair.

While Andre and Nadia were still asleep in their sleep, they suddenly gasped in shock when there was a scream coming from the patient's gurney. Both of them immediately sat down and looked at Arnold and Anara who were sitting on top of the gurney.

Arnold fell silent with teary eyes while looking at Abel who was next to him. While Abel was still hysterical even the infusion in his hand until it bled because of the movement of the little girl's hand. Nadia and Andre immediately approached the two. But instead of being calm, Abel grew hysterical when he saw the arrival of Andre.

"Call..."
