152. the affection of a father #2

Armand completed all administration of the child's return. "Where was Melvin here?" armand asked confusedly. "Maybe the young master has gone home first sir" replied bi Nah. Dinka just kept listening.

Melvin disappeared from the hospital. He doesn't want Dinka to see him languish. "You get to when you're like this baby" Melvin said, looking at his wife from a distance.

Dinka is led by her father. Bi Nah followed from behind carrying a bag containing Dinka's clothes. "Mr Armand let me also accompany the lady while at the master's house" said bi Nah. "No need to be there will be a nurse who will take care of Dinka during my home" said Armand.

Dinka sits himself slowly in the car seat. "Be careful son" asked Armand. The car is traveling at regular speed. "Bi Nah later told Melvin to follow Dinka home" said Armand.

"Yes good sir" replied bi Nah. "No sir" said Dinka quickly. "Why?" ask Armand. Dinka was silent not responding to him. Same with bi Nah.

Armand had indeed smelled the strangeness of Melvin's domestic relationship with the child. But Armand will find out exactly what happened.

It was at Armand's house. The wife who was relaxing was surprised by the arrival of her stepson. Betty then approached her husband and asked "why can Dinka come here?".

Armand simply told his wife to shut up. "Your son will occupy the room next to Bobby huh. The room has been prepared in advance when you want to go home or stay here" said Armand. Dinka tries to accept her stepmother. He approached Betty and kissed her hand. As proof of a child's service. Although Dinka has not fully accepted the presence of a stepmother in her life. But it is better to live with a husband who has betrayed him.

"Auntie Betty how are you?" dinka asked in a soft, soft voice. "Well, Dinka" Betty was quite surprised by the attitude Dinka showed her. This Betty could actually accept Dinka as her stepson. What she did not accept was when her husband, who was considered a loved one, lied to her for decades. Armand admitted that he was single when he married her. But time has gone by for so long, he must accept the fact that Dinka is part of his present life.

Armand immediately told Dinka to rest in the room accompanied by bi Nah. "You rest in the room let bi Nah take care of and accompany you" suggested Armand. "Yes sir" Dinka walks slowly led by bi Nah upper floor.

Betty grabbed her husband by the hand and invited him into the room to talk. She wanted to ask for an explanation from her husband. "What do you mean reward by bringing Dinka here?" ask Betty curious. Armand sat on his soft bed. "He who asks for his own wants to stay with me. So I brought him home" Armand explained.

"There can't be no meaning for anything from Dinka suddenly wanting to stay with us for a reward" Betty said. "That's exactly mah, papah suspects that Dinka and Melvin's household is in trouble. Papah once told me about Melvin who had an affair with his future fiance Bobby" said Armand.

"Yes pah mamah remembered. That woman named Serin, right?" ask Betty to make sure. "Yes papah suspects that Melvin is still in touch with the devious woman. So Dinka wants to part ways with Melvin. That's just an assumption of papah" explained Armand.

"Don't talk that way. Where maybe Melvin wants to get back in touch with Serin anyway pah. He knows for himself what kind of woman Serin is" Betty said. "Father don't want to bother about Melvin mah. What is clear is that if Melvin hurts Dinka again papah will not take it for granted even though he is the son of Arya and Sarah. Papah will tell Arya everything" Armand said at length.

Now his parents are dead and the one who took over the company is Armand. You could say Armand was the lucky one to marry Betty even though she was a widow with one child.

"Yes I want to go back to the office, if there is anything you call me as soon as yes" said Armand. "Yes pah carefully" Betty drove the husband to the door.

Melvin walked back and forth around her in-laws' home complex. He was confused himself to do it. "Not enter" he said himself.

"God why even be confused yourself anyway. I had to go in and take my wife home" Melvin got back in his car and drove up to the gate of Armand's house.

"The lady is looking for you" a waiter told Betty. "Who's bi?" Betty walked into the living room. "Oh, Melvin, yes" Betty smiled. "Yes aunt, how are you?" ask Melvin.

"Good aunt, please sit down" Betty invited. "Tante knows what you're coming here for" Betty said. "Yes, I can't guess aunty" Melvin said.

Betty smiled looking at Melvin's handsome face. "Your wife is in the room again rest you just meet her she talks well" Betty suggested. "Good aunt thank you" Melvin walked to the room where Dinka was.

Melvin went inside without knocking on the door first. It looks bi Nah is sleeping and invisible existence of the wife. But there was a splashing sound of water falling from the bathroom. 'Could Dinka be in the shower?' inner Melvin.

He dared to open the bathroom door that was not locked. Seeing the wife without a thread also makes Melvin creeps up the crown. Even if it wasn't the first time he'd seen her.

Dinka was surprised to see her husband in the bathroom. "Melvin you can come in here" Dinka immediately picked up her towel and wrapped her body.

"Darling I was just.." Melvin's speech was cut off by Dinka. "Get out" said Dinka a little loudly. Melvin did not move from where he stood. His eyes looked at his wife deeply. Melvin hugged his wife and apologized. "Dear forgive me" said Melvin.

Dinka just kept quiet not returning hugs from her husband. Melvin turned to look at Dinka's lips. A warm kiss landed on the wife's lips.

When the wife did not refuse him, Melvin kissed Dinka again and cut off her lips. Tears came out of the eyes of the two men.
