The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
Go home

Almost a month after Andre underwent treatment from his coma. Andre had also seen how his face had been covered from the beginning. Two weeks after waking from the coma, the bandage on his face was opened by a doctor. He was so shocked by his new look that it was so terrible he thought. The blackened face next to the many stitches and tears until only the flesh is visible while the skin is gone making it so hit.

At first he was hit, even he felt God was so unfair because not only his legs were paralyzed but part of his face was deformed. He wanted to get angry and vent all his emotions, but Nadia quickly whispered a promise that was said in front of her three children at that time.

All who saw the condition of Andre's face was shocked to the point of gaping in disbelief if the damage was that severe but lucky because his eyes were fine. Nadia, Papa Reza, and Mama Anisa try to look ordinary when they see Andre's face so that the man is not sad, especially his three children.

"Remember the message Mother yes, later if you see the bandages on your face opened then you should not scream in fear. Later papa can be angry and snapped you again because you are terrified of his new face papa" said Nadia before leaving for the hospital at that time.

Sure enough when the bandage on Andre's face opened, the three little boys were surprised but because remembering the message from Nadia made them just stay silent while smiling. Nadia knew they did not understand what happened to her father, but the three understood that they should not shout in fear in front of Andre when his bandage was opened.

With his arms open, the three asked to be raised on the gurney of Andre's bed. They hugged her father who was still in shock and cried when they saw his new face.

"Father don't be sad anymore. For us, papa is very handsome because good looks are not only seen from the looks but from his heart as well" said Abel wisely.

I don't know where the words came from, but Andre can only hug his three children tightly. She is very grateful that her children are not demanding much of her who now needs more support. Nadia also hugged Mama Anisa tightly as support because for several weeks has been trying hard to make Andre more receptive to the situation.

Today Andre has been allowed to go home. He will undergo outpatient treatment with medication and outpatient therapy. All who heard the news of Andre's return were very happy, especially his three children. From morning the three were very enthusiastic to decorate the family room to welcome the return of the father. Actually, the three of them are just running around, while the ones who do that are Nadia and Mbok Imah. The ones who will pick up Andre are Mama Anisa and Papa Reza.

"Arnold, the paper cutouts are affixed to the wooden board" Nadia said.

"Related, unda. Cedali adi Anol was already too late, oba unda aja ang keljain" said Arnold while pretending to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

Seeing Arnold's style, Nadia was anxious not playing the article since Arnold just sat on the sofa while watching everyone who was working. On his forehead was not sweat at all, so Nadia was surprised by what was rubbed by the little boy. Arnold is a drama boy.

"Where is there a work adek? From earlier it was just running around, disturbing brother, continue to sit while eating" said Anara.

"It's been... It's been... Just let the baby puff up and sit down, so that his body is more puffed up" said Nadia teasing Arnold.

Arnold most dislikes if he is called a puffer because he thinks it will be similar to a teddy bear owned by his two brothers who look very fat even though funny and adorable. With his upset face, Arnold immediately came down from his couch and pretended to take the paper next to his brother. Nadia and Mbok Imah who saw it can only hold back his laughter.

Before long all preparations to welcome Andre's arrival were ready. Nadia immediately bathed the three, while Mbok Imah prepared food to be arranged on the family room table.

Everyone was getting ready in the family room when they heard the sound of a car stopping in front of the Farda family mansion. Everyone also knew that the car was carrying Mama Anisa, Papa Reza, and Andre. After a few minutes of waiting, finally the three people who were waiting for him finally showed their faces in the living room. Mama Anisa came by pushing Andre's wheelchair, while Mama Anisa and the security guard who worked brought some of the man's belongings.

"Welcome back, papa" exclaimed everyone there with a bright smile.

Anara and Abel carry the sign with the words "welcome back, papa" while Arnold blows a trumpet that did not sound because the boy did not blow it hard. Everyone just held back his laughter looking at Arnold who was so annoyed that the trumpet he was blowing did not sound.

"The wallet is broken" Arnold annoyed and then threw it on the floor.

Arnold immediately approached his father and hugged the man in the wheelchair. Andre who saw his son spoiled and was upset just rubbed his head placed on his thigh. Anara and Abel also follow Arnold who has embraced her papa first. Mbok Imah was surprised by the new face of his employer, but he tried to display a face that was ordinary for fear Andre would be offended.

Mama Anisa and Papa Reza were so happy with the surprise made by Nadia and her three grandchildren, while Andre himself did not care about it. Because when he came home, he just wanted to see his children and his lover alone. It was already a happy thing for him because it turned out that he was not left alone.

"Thank you" said Andre with teary eyes looking at his lover.

Nadia just nodded her head while smiling sweetly. Papa Reza immediately pushed Andre's wheelchair closer to the living room. That afternoon, they held a meal together with Mbok Imah and security guards who stood guard to welcome Andre back home. The warm and familial atmosphere was so pronounced, there was not even a distance at all.

Andre is very happy and he can only hope in his heart that this happiness will never end. He wants to always be surrounded by people who love him with all their heart. In this way, he will be more eager to do road therapy and other treatments for his recovery.
