The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
Mall

Today is a Sunday that coincides with almost everyone taking a break from work. Similarly, Andre who is off from all work in his office. Today he will take his three children to the mall to buy them clothes and shoes, especially Abel who has no equipment of his own.

For almost a week living together, Abel was still wearing clothes and equipment belonging to Anara. Not alone, Andre also invited Nadia to come with them because Mama Anisa was there a need to go to the Arisan place. While Papa Reza chose at home because he did not like the crowd.

At exactly 10 a.m., they gathered in front of Andre's house. When they felt everything was ready, they got into the car with Andre who was behind the wheel while Nadia was beside him while holding Arnold. Anara and Abel were in the back seat.

On the way, the car filled with laughter from Anara, Abel, and Nadia. While Arnold and Andre only display a thin smile and cool face. Seeing Abel and Anara laughing this way made him a little relieved because his son was not too late in grief. As much as possible, she will try to make all her children happy.

After a few minutes on the way, the car they were riding in arrived at the largest shopping center in the city. All got out of the car and walked into the entrance of the mall with Arnold who was in Andre's arms while Nadia held Anara and Abel's hands.

"Gee... It's so big" Abel marveled.

Abel's eyes look sparkling when entering the mall area, he was very curious about some of the shops and rides there. Andre and Nadia let it go because they already knew that for sure for Abel this is the first time to come to a place like this.

"Sister Abel, is this your first time?" ask Anara.

Abel nodded his head without turning his attention towards the rides of the game. He looks very happy to see the excitement of the arena playing as he saw on TV.

"Emang kak Abel if you buy clothes where if you have never been to the mall?" ask Anara again.

"Never bought a shirt. All clothes are given by maids who work there secretly" said Abel Lirih.

Hearing that, making Andre's anger increasingly culminate in Aneta's behavior. Though every month he always sends monthly money for Abel's needs but in fact his son did not get his rights.

"maybe it's ndak unya money uat eli aju" murmured Arnold quietly with a nod of his head so that no one can hear it because the sound in the mall is very crowded.

Nadia who understood that Andre was holding back her anger also gently rubbed the man's arm making the master look at the girl.

"Don't show your face when you're angry in front of the kids. Let them not be afraid to see your face" whispered Nadia.

Andre immediately neutralized his reddened face and stiffened to become more relaxed as he looked at his three children. True said Nadia, in front of her children she can not make them afraid.

"Sister Abel, from now on if you want something to immediately say the same papa, grandfather, and grandmother yes. As much as possible they will grant all Abel's requests" Nadia said gently.

Degs...

Abel, who was listening to Nadia, nodded his head. Now he has a father, grandfather, grandmother, and brothers who will always accompany and meet all his needs. He does not need to think again when he can eat well and have good clothes.

All of them finally entered the store one by one while buying clothes and shoes for the three children. Plus buying school supplies for Anara and Abel. Andre really spoils his three children without thinking about the money that will run out or not. The most important thing is that all the needs of his child are met.

After buying all the needs of the three children, they decided to eat at one of the restaurants in the mall. After the order was delivered at the table, they dined voraciously being fed by Nadia and Andre. They really look like a happy and harmonious family.

***

After they finished eating, they were still sitting there talking and joking cheerfully. But the moment did not last long because suddenly humans were not invited to come there.

That person was Aneta and Lian, her husband. Apparently Aneta has healed even been able to walk. Aneta immediately pulled the body of Abel who was still sitting in the chair and then hidden behind him. Seeing that, Andre and Nadia stood in front of Arnold and Anara who was still sitting.

"Abel's machine" press Andre.

"Tell my son, so I'll take him home" exclaimed Aneta.

Seeing the debate between Andre and Aneta made some people interested to gather. It turns out Aneta deliberately raised the intonation of her voice to attract people's attention.

"Son said? He's my son" Andre said.

"You can't be selfish dong, mas. Abel is also my son, although we are separated you cannot separate me from my own son. I gave birth to her" said Aneta Lirih.

Aneta acting sad made-up makes people there fooled by her words. Aneta's words made everyone there pity and blame Andre. Seeing that, Aneta showed a smile of victory that was not seen by anyone but one person there, Nadia.

Andre, who saw the atmosphere did not support him, made him a little excited especially Anara and Armold who had been fussy calling his brother.

"Oh... You're Abel's mother? If indeed you are her real mother, why when Abel was beaten by your new husband's family, you just keep quiet not defending. Even just look at it on his legs, hands, and back is still a lot of bruising. Oh... Unfortunately you are Abel, you have a mother who has no heart like her. Indeed you fit in just living with your loving papa's family. What's wrong with his biological father keeping his son away from his mother's new husband's family? The child was tortured every day both mentally and physically" Nadia asked as she looked at everyone there.

Everyone there immediately looked at Abel's feet which still looked a lot bruised even on his wrist as well. Abel was also seen crying and depressed near Aneta and Lian made everyone squint at her husband and wife. Moreover, Abel was now crying sobbing and rebelling from the hand checks Lian who gripped him tightly.

Aneta and Lian panic themselves when everyone is suspicious of them.
