Pursuing the Love of a New Widower
Don't give up Sandra

"Yes, I'll call Bang Cio first." Sandra in the end.

Sandra walked out of Aileen's room, while her cell phone was still connected to Aleera, Sandra left it on the table. Sandra needs to talk to Daven first, and she doesn't want Aleera to hear the conversation between herself and Daven.

Actually Sandra could have brought her cell phone with her and then she whispered while talking to Daven. But.. ribet, so it's better his phone left in the room only.

Arriving outside the room, Sandra was just silent while staring at the door of Daven's room which as usual is always tightly closed if there is a man inside. Sandra hesitates to tell Daven about Aleera's cravings. Sandra was worried that this would make Daven even more uncomfortable for her, like Aleera's cravings yesterday. But, Sandra also could not ignore Aleera's cravings. What if Aleera's cravings weren't met then when her bangs were born, she'd be withering? The pity.

Finally, after gathering courage and determination, Sandra knocked on Daven's bedroom door.

Tok...

Sandra then lowered her hand. Waiting to see if the door opens or not. And apparently, it is not until 1 minute the door of the room is open. Featuring the figure of Daven standing at the door with his flat face.

"What's up, San?" Daven asked Sandra.

Sandra cleared her throat for a while before answering Daven's question.

"Eehmm, this Bang. I'm sorry to hear about Bang Cio. But..."

"Just Sandra, I don't like it when you're rambling like this. What's up?" Ask Daven.

"Aleera was craving again, she said she wanted to watch a video of me and my brother cooking together." Sandra followed Daven's words to speak directly to the point.

"I cooked with you?" Ask Daven.

Sandra nodded her head.

"Can you cook it? Don't you want me to you can't cook?" Ask Daven again.

Daven had absolutely nothing to say about this question. It's not meant to underestimate Sandra. But as long as Daven, Sandra can't cook, right? Didn't Aleera know that Sandra couldn't cook? It was impossible for Aleera to know. Sandra and Aleera have been friends for a long time. Plus now their status is also brother-in-law's sister.

Hearing Daven's words, Sandra could only smile wryly. His heart suddenly pinched. Daven was right, Sandra couldn't cook.

"Yes, you can't cook Bang." Answer Sandra. "But if I just cut it up I can do it, good at it." Added again.

Without Sandra guessing, Daven smiled faintly afterwards. Making Sandra suddenly feel nervous because she was fascinated with Sandra's smile.

"Eehmm, mending Brother talking to Aleera first. This is what Aleera said she wanted to talk to you, too." Sandra told Daven.

Without waiting for Daven to answer her words, Sandra turned her body and walked into Aileen's room leaving Daven just like that. Makes Daven unwilling to follow Sandra's steps.

"Bang Daven, I'm so sorry that because of this cravings I became a sibling." Aleera.

"I also repotted Ly, but you didn't apologize to me." Sandra grumbled in her heart.

"No papa, relax, Ly. Instead of later your child even ileran if not followed his wishes." Answer Daven kalem.

"Udah, that's a Bang. Just a video of Sandra cooking together." Aleera.

"What Ly? You just said? That's all if you want to ask young mango doang." Again Sandra could only grumble inwardly.

"But I'm the same Sandra should cook what Ly?" Ask Daven.

"Eehmm, what yes. What a Bang Dave. It's simple, but not fried rice or noodles." Aleera replied with a smile without feeling any guilt.

Daven nodded his head.

"Yes, that's it." Answer Daven.

After Aleera got her wish, now call the live video call with power off. And now Sandra and Daven are alone. Eehh, three with Aileen anyway. But Aileen was already asleep, so just count on both.

"Don't agree to cook, that means you can cook, right?" Ask Sandra to Daven.

Sandra doesn't know if Daven can cook or not. Because if Daven is the same as Sandra who can't cook. It's gonna be fucked up, right? Sandra and Daven were both cutting and cutting materials.

"Not good, but better than you." Daven replied in a proud tone.

And this is the first time Sandra has seen Daven flaunt his arrogance. Not to upset Sandra, but to make Sandra happy for whatever reason. Could it be because this was the new tone and expression of Daven that Sandra saw?

"Well, yes, he can cook. I do what oruh. It's just waiting for mbok mateng's cooking." Sandra said, dramatically.

And that made Daven laugh. Remember that! Laugh, not smile. Sandra's? I don't know how many times he's been fascinated with Daven.

But Daven's laughter certainly wasn't long. Now Daven has returned with his flat face as before, making Sandra suddenly so confused by the change.

Suddenly Daven stepped his foot towards Aileen who was sleeping soundly. Daven slowly sat himself on the side of the bed. His hand gently rubbed the top of Aileen's head which now had her fine hair started to grow long.

"Aileen turned out to be this big." Daven said muttering.

Of course Daven's murmur was clearly heard by Sandra.

"Yes, it's been 3 years." Answer Sandra.

Daven breathed a slow sigh.

"I've never been far from Aileen. But even so, I never really paid attention to his development, San." Daven said in a soft tone of voice. "When Aileen started teething, when Aileen started crawling, when Aileen started saying her first word, and when Aileen started walking. I didn't witness that. I was too busy with work and lamented Larisa's departure. And all this time I've been ignoring Aileen, Sandra." Daven.

From the tone of her voice, Sandra was able to catch the feeling of disappointment that Daven was expressing. It was self-disappointment that had been ignoring Aileen all along.

Sandra herself chose to be quiet. Sandra realized that what Daven needed now was a friend to listen to her outpouring of heart. Men can also show their weak sides, right?

"When did you first meet Aileen, San?" Daven asked suddenly.

"Aileen is 1 year old." Answer Sandra.

"At that time, what could Aileen do?" Ask Daven again.

"Aileen can just crawl and say a few vocabulary words, including Daddy." Javan. Sandra again.

Daven smiled.

"For so long, it was indirectly you who had cared for and raised Aileen. Thank you Sandra." Daven said as he looked gently at Sandra.

Sandra herself was just glued to her place.

"Which why? Is there anything that bothers Bang Cio's mind?" Seeing Daven's unusual attitude certainly made Sandra worried. Because Daven had never been like this before.

"Yes, I'm bothered by the attitude I've been doing to you, Sandra. I'm sorry that I've treated you so many times so badly." Daven.

"Remember..." That was all Sandra could get out of her lips.

"I should have treated you better, San. And I should thank you for all your sacrifices so far. Not even know yourself like this." Daven. "I realized being you wasn't easy. At a young age, you have to play as a wife and mother. Moreover, you are married to a man who is still shackled with his late wife. Once again forgive me if I've hurt you all this time." Daven looked into Sandra's eyes.

"No need to apologize. Marrying Brother, being Brother's wife, and also being a mother to Aileen was my own decision. Since the beginning, I also knew that Bang Cio still loves Kak Larisa. It's okay, I'll wait until later where Bang Cio can also love me a little." Answer Sandra.

Daven got out of bed and walked towards Sandra. Without Sandra guessing, Daven hugged her.

"Don't give up, now I'm going to try to love you. I hope you can wait. I realize that both Aileen and I need you in our lives."
