My father's charm
Chapter 27 - Shireen Falls Sick

Alka sat down with a blank look, she could see clearly her ex-wife laughing fondly with the man who was ruining her household.

Shireen was laughing with Alka's three children, setting her eyes on the man sitting pensively.

Shireen chose to focus on looking after the children.

Raline ran over to Alka and hugged her while laughing cheerfully.

Alka regained consciousness while getting a hug from her daughter. "Have you finished playing?"

"Already, Dad. I'm so happy!" revealed.

"Then let's go home!" bring him.

"I want to eat, Dad!" raline pinta.

"Tante will treat you!" sahut Shireen's.

"Shireen..."

"Don't turn down my offer, Mas!"

"You've been too kind to my family" Alka said.

"I'm sincere, Mas" Shireen smiled.

"Relatedly? We have not known for too long, you have been so good to us," said Alka.

Shireen faded her smile and slightly nodded.

"Let's get aunty's looking for the restaurant!" take Raline in a not-so-obvious style.

"Come on!" Shireen holds the little girl and hands Sean to Alka.

They walked to a local restaurant typical of Java island.

Sean fell asleep in Alka's lap while ordering food.

It wasn't until 15 minutes that their order arrived.

"Mas, just eat first. Here's my Sean on the bench!"

"You ate first" said Alka.

"I'm still full" Raline forced Sean out of the man's lap.

Shireen stroked Sean's hair so as not to wake up.

Alka was hesitant to start eating when her two children were greedy. Seeing the little nods and smiles of Shireen, he also enjoyed the dishes.

Alka took a little bit to finish quickly and changed into carrying Sean.

Not until 5 minutes, Alka finished eating.

"Why so fast, Mom?"

"I'm full, now it's your turn. I don't want you to get sick from eating too late" Alka replied.

"Mas, what a concern," he chirped.

"I don't want Raline to always ask you" Alka gave an excuse.

Shireen was weeping her lips unhappily at Alka's excuse.

A few minutes later, they finished eating and rushed home.

When I go home, at the entrance of the mall building. Accidentally met with Rani.

Raline yelled out, "Mother!"

Rani turned her body.

Raline ran over to him and hugged him, "I miss Mom, don't go again!"

Rani gently pushed her daughter's body without saying anything.

"Raline, you're wrong!" Varrel pulled his sister's body away from her mother.

Instantly Rani's heart became sore.

Shireen and Alka only looked at the meeting of mother and son.

"Come on, we're home!" bring Varrel.

Rani stared at the backs of her two children.

Shireen and Alka passed through the body of Rani who was still standing transfixed without smiling or talking.

In the mall parking lot, Alka took over the driving. In the car Varrel chose to stare silently at the street.

"Father was mom, right?" ask Raline.

"Yes, son."

"But why did you say someone was wrong?" ask again.

"Raline, she's not our mother!" varrel Sentak.

"Sister, why are you angry with me? I just want to hug her," Raline said with teary eyes.

"Raline, Varrel, don't fight. If you're like this, I won't take you back!" alka Advice.

"Dad, Miss Varrel is wrong!"

"You're wrong!" Varrel doesn't want to lose.

"Raline, Varrel, yes. Don't make your father angry!" Shireen glanced at the man who was driving.

The two boys were silent, though they turned their backs on each other.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived home. In front of the gate is parked a motorbike.

Siska who was waiting on the porch of the house stood when she saw a car stop right behind her motorbike.

All five passengers in the vehicle got off.

"Master Teacher!" greet Varrel.

"Sore, Sir!" say hello.

"What is it, Mom?" ask Alka kindly.

Shireen chooses the first way home, putting Sean back to sleep in the car.

"I want to tell Mr. Alka, if there are two more days of dyeing contest at the sub-district level. Is Varrel ready?" siska asked the man holding the little girl's hand.

"Would you like it, son?" alka asked her son.

Varrel.

"Then, tomorrow I'll pick up Varrel to sign up" Siska said.

"Yes, Mom. Thanks" said Alka.

"Grandfather and children from where?" Siska.

"Take them for a walk, ma'am" replied Alka.

"Oh," he said briefly. "Then I say goodbye. See you," Siska waved her hand at Varrel, she turned on the motor and passed.

Alka and her children went into the house.

"What did you want, Teacher?" Shireen was also curious.

"He offered a coloring competition for Varrel."

"Oh, so."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Sean's in her room, I'm coming home, Mas." Shireen stood up and greeted Varrel and Raline.

Shireen passed away leaving the small family residence of Alka.

...----------------...

The next morning, Lilis looked after the children. At 9 am, Varrel had been picked up by Siska and he at once asked permission for his disciple's grandmother to go home for a long time because he wanted to take the boy for a walk.

Lilis allowed it.

Alka sent a message to Shireen ordering a meal for lunch and dinner. However, it has been an hour the message is not answered usually at most 10 minutes the woman immediately replied to him.

Alka then contacted Shireen, shortly after from the end of the phone a weak voice answered her. "Hello, Mum!"

"Shireen, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm in the clinic again, Mas."

"You sick?"

"Yes, Mum."

"Where's the clinic address?" ask Alka.

"Not far from the shophouse, Mas. His name is the clinic Fast Sehat," he replied.

"Well, I'll be there!" Alka hung up.

Shireen who heard it, looked in disbelief. "Will he come see me?"

Alka changed her workshop clothes with daily clothes, she rushed to the clinic called Shireen did not forget she stopped with some fruit.

Once there, the female employees who guard Shireen say goodbye out of the room which is only 1 patient only.

Alka stood beside Shireen who looked limp and pale. "What did the doctor say?" put a small basket of fruits on the nightstand.

"Just tired, Mom."

"Next time, don't be too tired. Tomorrow, let your employees deliver the order."

"What if Raline asks?"

"I'll explain it."

"I couldn't if I hadn't met Raline let alone Sean" Shireen said in a soft voice.

"Why do you love my children so much?"

Shireen could not answer.

"I don't like it, if anyone comes close to us but has a specific purpose" he said.

"I like you, Mom!"

"I hope you're not like that!" alka.

Shireen smiled faintly, he slowly rose from his sleep and sat down trying to grab the bottle of drink on the nightstand that was to his right using his left hand.

Alka helped get the bottle open and close to the mouth of the woman who looked difficult because her right hand was attached to the infusion hose.

Shireen sucked the mineral water in a bottle Alka held.

Shireen let go of the straw, Alka pulled the bottle, closed it and put it back on the nightstand.

"Thank you, Mum."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'm going to call one of the employees to deliver the side dish today" Shireen said.

"No need, I've called my mom to cook the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator only," said Alka.

Shireen moved her chin slightly.

"Then I went back to the shop. You're healing fast and healthy, excuse me!" Alka also passed.

Shireen pulled the corner of her lips to look at the man's back which somehow when looking at his face, made Shireen always smile and happy.

The Shireen employee came back in when the superior guest had left. "It turns out Mr. Alka was so considerate 'yes, ma'am."

Shireen just laughed.
