The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
Baffled

"Where's Mother?" abel asked.

"Nadia's brother has returned to his home. He won't come back here because Nadia's sister wants to go back to the village" Andre told a lie.

"Get up, fire unda. Papa ohong" cried Arnold.

Andre lies to his three children so that they can immediately forget the existence of Nadia. But what happened? Arnold did not believe his words, even now staring fiercely at him. Abel and Anara were pensive with teary eyes. Andre is going awry if it's like this.

"Udah yes, tomorrow we find a new nanny for you. Now you take a bath with Grandma" said Andre to divert the conversation.

All three were silent and did not want to get out of his seat. Andre could only sigh after seeing this. She ruffled her hair in frustration against her three highly critical children.

"Ndak au.." cried Arnold did not accept.

"Had Mother" exclaimed Anara and Abel.

In the middle of conversation Andre and his three children. Mama Anisa came and mocked her son.

"Racaine... Mother oh Mother, where are you? Here I can be frustrated taking care of children without you, oh Mother" mama Anisa taunted.

While Papa Reza who was behind him only held his laughter just saw his wife who mocked her son with a tone reading a poem. While Andre could only smile wryly seeing that none of them were on his side.

"Come on Anara, Abel, Arnold... Grandma took a bath" asked Mama Anisa to her three grandchildren.

"But mother?" ask Abel.

"Later your mother let be taken care of as papa tuh" said Mama Anisa cynically.

Finally, the three children of Andre also obey Mama Anisa's invitation to take a bath. The three were immediately led to the room to clean themselves up. While Andre bowed his head in the living room accompanied by Papa Reza.

"I'm sorry about Nadia, Ndre. Here he is innocent, it is true that everything was started by people in his past but Nadia also did not think that it would happen like this. When you have a problem with Aneta, Nadia never blames you, she supports you and still faithfully accompanies you. She's a nice girl and you don't want to lose her" Papa Reza advised.

"The real man is the one who apologizes and admits his mistake" he continued, patting his son on the shoulder.

Papa Reza soon passed from the living room leaving Andre still pensive with the advice his father gave. Andre is very concerned about the decision that will be taken for the good of everyone around him.

While on the other side...

Now Nadia woke up from her sleep when the sun had hidden behind the clouds replaced with a shining moon. Nadia was completely sound asleep as if the problem with Andre was just the wind. He woke up and cleaned himself up.

"Lho... Nad, how are you home? When are you coming home?" ask Ratmi's mother in wonder.

"That day, ma'am. But Nadia went straight to sleep" replied Nadia then sat in her chair.

Both of his parents just nodded their heads in understanding without asking any further questions then they did dinner in a state of silence. After the dinner was over, Nadia's parents immediately entered the room while the girl chose to sit on the terrace of the rented house.

Nadia looked at the pitch-black night sky without the stars and moon shining. Tonight the star and the moon are covered in thick cloudy clouds as it looks like it will soon rain. It seems like the sky knows about Nadia's mood tonight which is also being clouded.

"Huf... Failing to get married again" grumbled Nadia.

"Let her say the same to mom and dad about the annulment of this marriage" he continued.

Although Nadia looks sad but she is like this because she thinks about how her parents reacted when she failed to get married. He did not want to see his parents embarrassed and sad let alone yesterday's proposal attended by many people. After all, his feelings for Andre were still 30%, while the rest were for the three small children.

"Huaa... Kangen same bocil-bocil" cried Nadia suddenly.

Just a few hours without meeting the three little boys, Nadia already felt homesick for them. Especially now that they don't know when to meet again. Because she could not find the right answer about what she would do, Nadia finally chose to reflect while looking at the night sky.

While he was busy daydreaming, suddenly there was a car that stopped in front of Nadia's rented house. Nadia who saw the car felt that she knew who the owner was. The owner is Andre. Andre got out of his car while Nadia was still fixated on the arrival of the man.

When she realized what she saw, Nadia immediately stood up and then passed into the house. But Andre swiftly blocked the girl's wrist so as not to enter the house. Nadia rebelled to let go of the check, but Andre grasped it very tightly.

"Detach" said Nadia with great emphasis.

"No" said Andre did not want to lose.

Andre stared intently at Nadia and was stared at no less sharply by the girl. The two of them no one would budge, fighting through a single glance. After a few minutes of cold staring at each other, Andre finally chose to give up. He's here for a certain purpose, not for a cold war with Nadia.

Andre released his grip on Nadia's arm, then looked at the girl with a gentle gaze. While Nadia who saw Andre's soft gaze also shifted her gaze, she did not want to easily melt with what the man did. Afterwards Andre pulled the girl's hand to sit on the terrace chair side by side.

The two of them were struck by silence by staring at each other towards the night sky. But before long, Andre broke the silence by saying something that made Nadia frown in wonder.

"Go back to my house" Andre said.

"For what?" ask Nadia.

"To nurture and look after my three children" replied Andre.

Nadia was very surprised with Andre, to her home just wanted her to return to babysit and look after her three children even though the man had not apologized at all for the incident this afternoon. Nadia to think whether Andre did not feel guilty at all had lowered her pride as a woman. He also still wonders what his relationship with Andre will look like.
