Him, my Daughter's Father
Chapter 9

" What do you mean my husband?." Tania the first sewot.

Puspita was actually made to hold back the laughter of hearing it. Of course because he knew they weren't married.

" Why are you laughing? Is something funny?." Tania asked angrily.

" Ah sorry, sorry. Please don't misunderstand me. Not that Mr. Mahesa will also be made a uniform, right?." Puspita acted calm after successfully holding back a laugh.

They are only strangers. That's what he's trying to put into his mind.

" Mahesa's still in the office." Santi replied, who was calmer among them.

After all, he felt that Puspita had completely forgotten what happened 5 years ago. Now he felt no need to worry, because the woman who had been his daughter-in-law no longer wanted to be with her son.

" When can Mr Mahesa be measured?. Because his clothes must also be made immediately."

" You can come again at dinner. I'll call you." Santi said to Riska.

" I'm sorry, there are still some clients that we have to meet. Maybe you can tell me exactly when, so we can manage the time well." Puspita.

" all right. I'll call for the exact time."

" All right then. So, have you chosen the design yet?."

Santi showed me the design he wanted to use.

" For soft colors only. And yes, please add a little brocade here." Santi pointed to the chest.

After finishing determining with the design and materials you want to use, Puspita and Riska go from there.

" Want to have lunch?." Riska asked as they were on their way back, almost approaching a restaurant

" Can." Reply to Puspita who is hungry.

" Mr. Burhan." He switched to his personal driver.

" Yes Ma'am?."

" Please pick up Dinda... I want to have lunch with him."

" Good Mom..."

***

" I'm sorry Mom?." Ask Riska when they're sitting at one of the tables.

" yes. Why?."

" Why don't you tell them the truth?."

" You mean, the Adinata family?."

Riska nodded.

" We have a bad past. I just don't want to reveal my life right now." He said remembering their meeting.

No one would have thought, behind the calmness he showed. His heart was filled with great anxiety. He felt afraid, if one day the calmness of his life during this must be disturbed because of this work.

But again he also could not risk the reputation of the boutique. There are many employees who need income for the family. Like Riska, the same as her, a single mother. The difference is that the woman was left dead by her husband.

" Dinda my daughter, no one can take it away from me." His mind is afraid.

He knew very well that Tania's son was not Mahesa's. If Santi finds out that she is Mahesa's daughter, he is afraid that she will take it from him.

" I don't know what's going on. But I know you're not the woman they're accusing me of."

" Thank you."

They ordered food, it didn't take long for their orders to come. Coinciding with Dinda who came with Revan.

" Revan, where's Bi Ani?." Tanya Puspita immediately took over Dinda.

" Home. It just so happened that my schedule was a bit off, so I came home to play with Dinda. So I brought Dinda here when Mr. Burhan picked her up." Revan.

" Okay, let's enjoy the food."

" Mommy."

" Yes?." Puspita looked at her assistant.

" I'm sorry for the ketoilet."

" ah. Alright."

" Skeletons." Call Revan when Riska just left. The woman who was taking food for her daughter looked at Revan.

" What's up?." Ask to help keep the voice down.

" Be normal, someone's stalking you." Revan said slowly, making Puspita reflex turn his head in all directions.

" Be normal Puspita." Revan warned me again.

" A yes." Puspita immediately bribed food for Dinda, so that there was no suspicious movement.

" Why do you think someone's stalking me?." Tanya Puspita tried to calm down. Honestly, he panicked when he knew someone was following him.

" There's someone outside the restaurant with who's standing and staring this way, I feel like he's watching you. He even takes pictures occasionally. We'd better act like Dinda's parents."

" What do you mean?."

" I feel this has something to do with Mahesa. I hope you can let Dinda call me dad for a while." Revan said slowly

" But why?."

" Don't you want Mahesa to know who Dinda is?."

Puspita immediately looked at her daughter, to be honest she could have let Dinda call father to Revan. But he was worried that his daughter would not stop calling him.

" But, what if Dinda...?"

" Keep calling me Dad?." Revan continued, Puspita nodded.

" That's not a problem, is it?." Revan laughed softly afterwards.

" Revan..." Although Revan only joked, Puspita still felt annoyed.

" Just temporarily, I'll try to persuade him. Dinda?." Call him to the little boy.

" Yes Unc..."

Puspita quickly smothers her daughter's mouth, preventing Dinda from calling 'Uncle'.

Revan chuckles at her, Puspita's frightened expression looking cute to him. The man whispered to Dinda.

" The next few days, Dinda can call Uncle 'Dad'."

" really?." The boy looked at the two adults in front of him with excitement.

" May Mother?." Ask the mother.

" If you don't want to, Dinda won't." Continue with a pouting face. Making Puspita again made moved by the attitude of her little daughter.

" May be dear..."

" Yeah..." His voice raised both hands. Dinda got down from her seat and sat on Revan's lap.

" Dinda dear Daddy..." He hugged Revan tightly.

Puspita looked at him with tears beginning to well up. He had no idea, that he would be this happy when he allowed Dinda to call someone.

Somehow the boy's reaction, if he knew he really still had a father.

" I'm sorry Mom." Riska comes with a crush. The woman looked panicked.

" Why Riska?."

" That's Mom, my son is sick. So..."

" Go away, the child is the main." Puspita said directly.

Risk is gone.

" Even you put children first for your employees." Revan.

" Riska isn't just an employee, she's the only person I can trust here after you and Bi Ani." Reply Puspita.

The three chatted and joked with laughter, exactly a happy family. Revan gets a call from the hospital and has to leave immediately.

" Drug of Dad." Shouted Dinda waving cheerfully as Revan walked out of the restaurant. Puspita then brought him back.

All of those moments have been recorded by Faris, the man Revan saw before entering the restaurant. Mahesa's assistant immediately reported to his superiors.

" Damn it! So you're really happy over my suffering." Mahesa murmured a clenched hand, after getting a report from Faris.

He had to admit, if he wished that Dinda was his daughter. But when he found out that the boy called Revan his father, he realized that what happened in the past was not a misunderstanding.

" I shouldn't have known about the traitor's life. Aaakkkhh!!!." His cry was full of anger, throwing all the files on his desk until it fell scattered. No exception laptop that is still on.

Seriate.
