Father Or Boyfriend ?
Chapter 75

Cia ran past the liquid paint that flowed towards her bag trying to save her bag.

That bag is expensive!

Cia is afraid that the things she doesn't want will happen to her.

"Yeah!!!" cia shouted as her right leg slipped on the surface of the floor filled with slippery purple paint.

Bruk!!!

Cia's body crashed on the surface of the purple-painted floor that made him lay on the floor like a lizard attached to the wall of the house.

"Ouch!" Cia got up and sat on the floor filled with paint spills, half of Cia's body had now turned purple. Cia's face is now filled with purple paint exactly like a donut cake that has been dyed into cream wine.

The angel laughed after seeing Cia's purple face there. Cia opened her eyes and laughed.

The angel laughed more and more at Cia's funny looking face, only her eyeballs and teeth were pure white while the others were filled with paint.

Firdha closed her mouth trying to hold back the laughter from outside after seeing the incident earlier. Firdha was curious about the painting that her daughter painted like what Jef told her to bring her back to this place.

There were tears of happiness flowing on Firdha's cheeks, the reason was only this time Firdha saw her daughter laughing again after so many years and it was all because of a girl named Cia.

Cia doused her purple face and entire body with water flowing from the water shells in the back garden before the paint dried on her scout uniform.

Cia stepped over to the angel who was now sitting on the long chair. Naini has changed the clothes of an angel with clean clothes even though the angel had revolted earlier, well how else the clothes of an angel was also dirty due to exposure to paint.

Naini had offered Cia to exchange her scout uniform for clean clothes but Cia refused.

Cia was sitting in a long chair right next to the angel with wet hair, well Naini had bathed the angel earlier. The angel smiled thinly staring at the pink flowers that looked blooming, looked very beautiful, well Cia was able to see that.

Cia grabbed the nail cutter from her black bag, the top of her black bag was now covered with purple paint. His intention to save his bag had failed miserably.

Cia grabbed the clenched fingers with those long nails carefully, Cia was afraid that the angel would hit her like that angel who had slapped Naini hard enough yesterday. 

"Cia cut the angel's nails, yeah?" ask Cia carefully.

The angel was silent, silent.

Cia smiled and carefully cut the long, dirty nails.

"After this, Cia's father will not say that the elder sister is kuntilanak" said Cia.

Firdha was silent on the balcony staring at her daughter and Cia who seemed to be sitting in the lower garden. Just this time someone managed to cut his daughter's nails, so far no one has managed to cut her long nails. But seeing this all feels impossible. Who's this girl named Cia?

Cia poured the hazelnut oil into her palms and rubbed it slowly.

"It's hazelnut oil, Cia rubs it in the hair of the angel, yeah?" cia said while showing her oily palms.

The angel was silent, expressionless.

Slowly Cia rubbed the long hair gently and then combed the hair of the angel with a comb that Cia used this morning. Cia is very happy today, it feels like Cia has a sister who is very beautiful like an angel.

"Mama Cia often loh comb Cia's hair," said Cia told him however, the angel was only silent.     

"Beautiful angel's hair."

Cia again combed the hair of the angel with affection, the occasional wind blowing through the long hair of the angel made it look very beautiful.

...____****____...

Cia stood looking at Abraham and Firdha with a smile right in front of the main door. Droplets of water seemed to drip in the uniform of Scouts Cia made a puddle of water on the floor.

Cia's black bag with purple paint is now on Cia's back.

Cia furrowed her brows in astonishment looking at Firdha who appeared to be smiling, for some reason this lady with the face of Magical Grandmother smiled at him. Is he amnesiac?

"I'm dying, sir" said Cia, looking at Abraham standing next to Firdha.

"Tomorrow you're here again, Dad!"

"Again?"

Abraham nodded.

"So tomorrow can Cia come here again, sir?" cia asked with a look of disbelief.

"Truly, sir," asked Cia again.

"Eh, Cia!" Firdha stepped forward touching Cia's shoulder slowly making Cia surprised to make her step back trying to dodge.

"I'm sorry, well, because I was angry with you earlier" Firdha said.

Cia could not believe that this witch said sorry to him, was this true but why did Firdha suddenly apologize to Cia?

"Would you please excuse me?"

"I.iya Tant..eeh madam," said Cia while biting her lower lip because she called Firdha again with the name Aunty.

"It's okay, if Cia calls me Auntie!" Firdha laughing made Abraham laugh while Cia just smiled stiffly.

"Perhaps if there's time, Aunt would like to see your Mom and Dad."

"My mom's sick Auntie."

"Oh, yeah?"

Cia nodded slowly and then lowered her head.

"Your father?"

Cia raised her gaze to look at Firdha who spoke again.

"Emm, my father has Auntie."

"Then Aunt wants to see your dad, can you?"

"Maybe for this week and next week my dad can't go out first because he has to keep Mama Cia sick" explained Cia. 

Cia turned to look at the black clock in her hand that had shown at half-six, well it was almost dark. Cia almost forgot about Loli's birthday.

"Cia said goodbye first, well, sir, Auntie," said Cia then turned away from Abraham and Firdha by running quite fast.

"He seemed to be in a hurry," said Firdha looking at Cia who was now getting away.

"That's it."

"But Mas, I'm so happy that Cia is always next to Kasha."

Abraham nodded.

"Cia brings its own happiness to Kasha" Firdha said.

...____****____...

"How's boss?" jef stood beside Abraham.

Abraham glanced at Jef and then fell silent.

"But why boss?" jef said he could not believe hearing Abraham's words.

Abraham turned his black chair and looked at Jef with a still doubtful gaze. Slowly Abraham got up from his chair and looked at the garden view from behind the window.

"I don't think Cia needs to be associated with her boyfriend who has a name and a face similar to that boy."

"Just get here, Jef!"

"But boss-"

"Jef!"

Jef speechless.

"Kasya was happy with the girl named Cia, after all I think the boy was dead."

"So?"

"That's enough to get here!"
