Chapter 5 : Call Me Daddy

These 5 days living with big boss as housemate, make her believe that she had 2 child to be taken care of. As usual, her baby will wake her up every early in the morning to have some milk and she will prepare a breakfast. After done having a breakfast, she will clean the house, this is the most annoying part because her housemate had showed and proof a lot that he is lazy bum! He seems to like to throw his cloths every corner of the house and left unfinished pack snack everywhere he goes! The living room, the dining room even in the toilet! He is totally like a 3 years old kid!

After finished cleaning the house, she let her baby play on the mats and as usual, she open her laptops to check her progress of work. Louis never visit the café and only stayed in the house, so she will always discuss with him about the planned and progress while they have their dinner together. Louis really don't care about his café but he always nod for every words she said and finish with a reply 'Well done.'

"Good morning little lady!" A husky voice greet behind her.

"Aaah! Eehhh!" Her baby who was laying on the mats while biting boringly her hello kitty quickly turn herself and roll sideway towards Louis. It her new technique to move faster!

Seeing her unique rolls Rosa can't help to shake her head. She was not sure whether to laugh or to cry. Looking at Louis, he is now wearing a white sweater and black tracksuit. His messy hair and face full with sweat. At first she didn't believe Louis had this habit to jog early in the morning because of his lazy traits. But when she remember back at their first meeting, his top body naked that time do shows his athlete body muscle. At least he had some good habit, Rosa thought to herself.

"Good girl!" Louis pick her up after the baby had touch his legs.

"Hey. Hey. Don't let her touch your wet beard! I had just wash her up." Rosa warned. Her daughter really like to play with his beard, is it because her mother don't have it? Should she eat beard hormone, so that her daughter will not abandon her for this?

Louis carefully hold Damia without letting the baby touch his sweat and put her on baby chair. Then he give her biscuit baby and he eats his breakfast that Rosa had made it for him. Louis and Rosa didn't talk a lot, it makes Rosa think that he is quiet person, man who only talk when he need. However, Rosa was wrong again. Louis is talkative person when he with her baby!

"My lady, is the biscuit suit your taste?"

"Ahhhhm!" Damia wave her right hand shows her biscuit with a big smile.

"I glad you like it. I promise you, I will buy more tasty biscuit so that my lady will not lose this beauty." Louis pinch gently Damia round chubby cheek.

Damia eyes interact him like she really understands Louis. She nod with satisfied face and continue put her hand on her mouth, to eat the biscuit.

Rosa chuckled seeing both of them. Looking from a far, Louis look like a big grizzly bear and her daughter is big fat baby grizzly bear. They both have same hair color and same gusto when eating. She was laughing but then, she feel a sting on her nose and eyes. Her husband was actually very good man. He love his son, always play together and bought a lot of toys for him.

He was very good with words, when she found out he was cheating once, they had living happily again with his sweet words. When she suspect he cheating again, her husband will show how much he love her, making her fall in love again and again. But every 2 – 3 months, she always notice a hint his husband cheat behind her back with different other girls. Until she saw it herself, her husband brings other woman into their love nest, their own house! Making love on their bed! It was the worst heart break she had ever felt!

Since than, she can't even look at him. She felt disgust and her heart felt like being stab deeper and deeper. She ask for divorce. He won't let her and no ones support her and only blame her. She wants fight it in court. However, her husband rape her and make her pregnant again. Then, her baby was born and the baby looks so much like her husband. She almost had a mental break down but with a support from her late mother and her friend, Laila, she made this huge decision. She will run away. She will vanished from his life and only left him the only one that proof their once true love, their son. She takes away the baby to remind her painful memory, a baby that not come from love.

"Rosa… Rosa…"

Rosa blink her eyes again and again back to reality. But she only saw a blur in her eyes. Her cheek was wet.

"What happen? Have a headache? Stomach pain?" Louis was kneeling, patting her back to coax her and her baby on Louis right arms, looking at her with sad face.

Rosa shake her head. To assure to him that she is ok but however, the gentle pat on her back make her wanted to cry loudly. Feeling embarrassed being look by Louis at her pitiful side, she grab her baby, hug her and buried her face to her baby neck. She try to stop to cry but she couldn't.

When her baby been hug by her mother, the baby feel an intense sad feeling from her mother and she wail loudly hugging her mother neck tightly. This make Rosa lost her mind and start to wail too.

Louis who was worried before, also lost. Their wailing was very loud and he don't know what to do. In Louis eyes, he saw two white ducks hugging and crying like being abandon on cold place. It makes his heart hurt too and with instinct he open his big arms and hug. Hoping that both will feel warm by his hug.

Damia already sleep on Rosa chest and Rosa also had stop from crying she had buried herself on her baby before, now realize Louis were hugging them to calm them down, she can't stop from feeling embarrassed again. She wants to buried her face on her baby forever!

"Feeling better?" Louis ask with low voice. After Rosa stop crying, he didn't let go his hug yet but only watch Rosa until Rosa body turn stiff and her once red ears and neck before was from crying but it turns redder because she embarrassed. Louis smile lips, hidden well with his beard.

Rosa nod.

Louis loose his arms and Rosa quickly stand up and run towards her bedroom with her baby. Louis can't help from laughing after he saw Rosa red embarrassed face.

Today is Tuesday, their café is closed for every Tuesday, so it is Rosa first time stay in the house for the whole day. With her housemate or should we call him big boss? Its almost noon, her stomach was growling but she don't want to get out from the room. She look at her chubby little baby on the bed sleeping with red nose and puffy eyes. She feel sorry making her baby cry to sleep. Her baby never cry like that before.

While feeling sorry, she muster up herself to get out to cook. She need to eat for her baby! It just a cry. Everybody cry! Nothing to be ashamed of! Feeling confident, she open the door before she could step forward, she turn stiff and all her confident had been drain. In front of her, there were a wide chest wearing a black t-shirt. She look up. The tall man hand was in the air, seems like he wanted to knock the door.

Louis chuckled quietly after saw Rosa suddenly turn red. "I just want to tell you that our stock of food had finished."

"Oh." Rosa feel something stuck on her throat and quickly she clear her throat. "Ehem! Well, ok. I will go to the grocery store."

"We will go together." Saw Rosa confused face, he continue. "Remember the rules? We have to shop together."

My sister really wants to kill me. Why sister? What I had done for making me suffer like this? Before she can speak, Louis face turn bright, he smile wider with a creased on the corner of his eyes.

"Oh, my lady. You wake up with a smile!?"

Rosa look at behind her, her baby awakes with a smile and she looks shy. Baby? Why are you shy?

"You look like an angel!" He came inside without Rosa permission and shamelessly crawl to the bed and kiss the baby face.

The baby giggled.

"My lady, lets get ready. We are going to shop and I let you buy anything you want!"

And so, In the eyes of public people, a big grizzly bear and two little ducks was roaming around in the groceries store. The store was not far from their house but because they wants to buy a lot, they bring along Louis humble black car, Audi SUV. Rosa can't stop worried that her big boss is wasting his money for something luxurious. Then she realize again, his house also must had been cost more than he can afford. Did he robbed a bank? Even the café can't afford to pay her salary yet!

"My lady, it seems that there are a lot of flavor biscuit baby, which one you want? Oh, look! This must be tasty. Mix fruit. Wow. Strawberry also tasty! Honey!" He take the box one by one and he throw it all into their trolley. Even her baby was very happy clapping her hand whenever Louis show the biscuit.

"What are you doing???" She put back the biscuit to the shelves.

"Buying my lady a snack."

"Its too much. We don't need to buy all of it. Just choose 2 or 3 flavor for her."

"Alright." Surprising he agree. "Your mother is jealous because I pampered you too much, so we only buy few for you, ok?"

What jealous? I am saving your money!

They bought a lot of fresh food and house necessities and Rosa can't stop Louis from buying Damia more toys. When they were line up to pay their things, there were group of aunties line up in front of them approach her baby and of course her baby round cheek always makes them want to squeeze it and her cheeks turns red!

"How bless is this, you have beauty face like your mother and your father hair and eye color. This shows how much your parents love you!" The aunties teased them.

"Do you just move in the town? We never met you before."

Rosa smile friendly, "Yes aunty, we are new here." She meant it for her and her daughter. She was very lazy to explained to them about Louis.

"Oh, Good. Good. We can meet again and play this little girl next time. Where do you live?" One of the aunty ask.

Rosa smile widely and rummage her baby backpack and handout a flyers. "We can meet here, I am a new manager there. I always bring my baby there."

"Oh. Wow. Interesting. We can make this place for our next gathering."

"Goodluck dear, we sure do visit you there."

Before their turn to pay, Rosa heard Louis whispered happily to Damia.

"It looks like we share same things here." Louis touch the baby hair. "My lady, you can call me daddy after this. Ok?"

"Da Da!"

Louis hand froze and Rosa also watch her baby with big eyes.
