Clara's first dad call

*****

Rania's life turns out to be very heavy, Rian really wants to protect her. He contacted Dion and ordered to delete the video post. Ardian did not intend to prolong this problem. However, currently Rania is worried about her daughter's safety. Rian had to make sure this wouldn't happen again. Seeing that the woman was frightened, Rian tried to calm her down.

Rania was still drowning in her anxiety. A look of worry and fear appeared on her beautiful face. Her crying had stopped, Rian rubbed the back of her hand and gave her positive energy. The man will try to make the woman as comfortable as possible.

Rania has absolutely no appetite for food. Rian continued to persuade the woman to eat even a little. Only two mouthfuls, Rania stopped eating. The man took a deep breath.

"Why didn't it run out?"

Rania shook her head and looked down.

"Get ready, I'll take you home."

The woman's eyes lit up, she really misses Clara, her baby. He had never once separated from his little daughter. After giving birth, Rani always took care of Clara's needs by herself. Her former mother-in-law once came to help, and even then only for three days after giving birth. Clara's father is also always busy with his own business. So Rania had never left her daughter to sleep without her. Only after she got to work did Clara get used to living with her mother, never fussing at all. It was different when he was raised by his ex-in-laws.

"Thank you," said Rania curtly and she hurried off to get her things.

He quickly returned with a bag and a paper bag containing his clothes from yesterday. Rian immediately cleaned the table quickly without washing their used food plates.

In the car, from time to time Rian noticed the look on the woman's face beside him. While staying focused on driving, he also had to make sure Rania was okay. The woman looked pensive ever since.

"Ra, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing, I just miss my little girl," he said weakly without looking at his interlocutor. His gaze was just straight ahead.

Ryan was silent for a moment. "Ra, you're still thinking about that video? All the news is gone, so you don't have to worry anymore, okay!"

"Thank you," he answered simply.

"I promise to protect you and Clara."

"I will not accept promises, Rian. Because every promise made will be lost."

"Okay, I won't promise, but I will definitely protect you to the best of my ability," he assured the woman.

"Hmm… that's better, thanks." His tone was weak and lackluster.

How much suffering has Rania experienced? So he no longer believes in a word of promise. Rian wanted to hug tightly and hold the hand of the woman he loved. Rian wanted to immediately tie him into a knot and bring him happiness for the rest of his life.

Arriving at their destination, Rania quickly wanted to get out of the car. Rian held his hand as the woman lowered one leg.

"Ra, wait a minute… I want to say something."

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Rania looked up.

The man brought his face closer until they were only an inch apart, he whispered. "I love you so much. My world is you. Even though you can't see me, I'm still there. Keeping my world beautiful is my life's goal. So don't remove me from my world, okay?"

Rania gasped, Rian's words made her body and heart tremble instantly. Feel the warmth of every word spoken. The tremors of his heart immediately spread throughout his body.

"Remember this, stay calm and smile!" Rian caressed the woman's cheek gently.

Rania could not reply to all the romantic words that were heard, she just nodded and smiled. It turned out that Rian could make him this calm, his anxiety was instantly forgotten.

With her heart still fluttering, Rania came into the house and shouted for her daughter.

"Cla, mother is home, honey. Beautiful, where is your mother, huh?"

From a distance he heard the faint voice of his little girl, Rania immediately approached. Dahlia and Clara were in the family room, with a jog she met her little daughter who ran towards her. The little girl was caught and carried in his arms, kissing the cheeks and the whole face passionately.

"Muachh, muachh. Honey, I miss you..."

"Clara misses you too, Mother." The little girl jumped with joy when she saw her mother's face.

Dahlia looks happy to see Susana. "How was the trip, Ra?" asked the middle-aged woman then.

"Everything went smoothly, Mom," he replied, forced to lie, he didn't want to surprise his mother with Rian's sudden appearance.

A moment later Dahlia stared at the figure of a man who had entered the family room. Rania looked into her mother's eyes and smiled.

"Mom, that's Rian. You still remember right?" he asked softly.

Dahlia frowned and narrowed her eyes, the man smiled at her. Rian approached so that the mother of the woman he loved could see more clearly. Dahlia is a mother figure who she considers like her own mother.

"How are you, Mom? Do you remember me?" Rian kissed the back of the middle-aged woman's hand.

"Oh my God, Rian... is it you?" Dahlia couldn't believe she could meet the boy who used to come to her house often. "Where have you been? Why don't you ever play here again?"

Dahlia patted Rian's shoulder, the affectionate pat he used to do. Dahlia even often scolded the child like she was angry with her own child. The woman is a fussy but loving mother, and that trait is passed on to her daughter, Rania.

"Let's sit first, Son Rian."

Clara, who had been in Rania's arms, suddenly spoke. "Dad, Dad." Point it at Rian then spread his hand.

Dahlia and Rania looked at each other, the first 'Father' Clara spoke. And it was aimed at Rian who was not his father. Even though Rania often shows her father's photo to Clara.

While Rian was surprised that the little girl recognized him as the father, of course he was very happy. He took the little girl's outstretched hand and took her into his arms. Rania also released Clara from her arms.

"Hey, honey... you're so cute!" Rian lifted Clara above his head, then kissed the plump cheek. The little girl laughed with joy when the fine hairs on Rian's jaw tickled her cheeks, Clara was amused.

“Kya… Dad…!” He exclaimed as he patted both of Rian's cheeks.

'Adorable little girl, just like her mother.' Rian thought exasperated with Clara's behavior.

"Yes, honey. It's dad, you can call dad." Rian kissed the adorable cheek again, then sat down and carried him into his lap.

Rania and her mother watched with emotion, they hugged each other and smiled happily. The closeness of father and son that Clara had never felt, now she got for the first time from Rian. A character he had never met before. While living with her biological father Clara rarely gets any attention.

Rian really enjoyed playing with the little girl. Tickles, kisses, and engages in conversation. Clara, who is still two years old, can speak, although not much. Rian really likes to serve him.
