However, there was one thing he badly wanted to see, and it's her smile . Those smile that brought always the suns.h.i.+ne to his life, he missed them so much . He wanted to see her smile once again, laugh again like she used to do . He badly wanted her back in his arms right here, right now, but he knew it will never be easy . He knew that mending of a wound and healing takes time . That was why he was doing everything the best possible way, that even if it takes using his own son to help hasten it, he won't hesitate at all .
…
Last night…
The father and son actually had a man to man talk when Little s.h.i.+n awakened in the middle of the night .
The boy left his room the moment he realized that his mother wasn't there anymore . He was walking towards his dad's room when he saw him sitting quietly near the window .
"Dad, where is she?" He asked .
"She returned to her work . Go back to sleep, don't worry, we will see her soon again . " Sei replied, looking like a terrifying boss of the underworld sitting in the dark . However, the little boy approached not fazed at all . His forehead creased with displeasure as he looked at his father .
"I never saw her wearing those uniform in the photos of her including the ones uncle Zaki showed me before . Why didn't you tell me that she's a soldier?" Little s.h.i.+n asked and Sei signaled him to sit beside him . The boy obediently sat as he looked intently at his father, waiting for his answer .
"How do you feel now that you finally met her?" Sei asked instead of answering him, Little s.h.i.+n tilted his head for a while before he touched his chest and replied .
"When I hugged her, it's warm here . I believe I felt so happy . I knew I love her so much . " The boy honestly replied and Sei ruffled his hair as his slips slightly curved up . This son of his was just like him when he was young . He has that advance mind and not acting like a child at all . However, Little s.h.i.+n have characteristics Sei didn't possess when he was at his age . Unlike him, Little s.h.i.+n was curious about everything . His interest in every single thing was overwhelming that he won't hesitate to flood everyone around him with numerous questions every single day . And that's the reason why he was able to easily understand what he feels .
"Good . Tomorrow, we will go visit her in her work . Go back and sleep . " Sei said but the little boy's forehead creased once again .
"Dad, you didn't answer my question yet . " He replied without moving . He looked at his father as though he was telling him he will never leave unless he gets proper answer . Of course, Sei was already aware of his son's att.i.tude, he knew he won't budge if he won't answer him .
"Because I want to surprise you . Why? You don't like her being a soldier?" He asked and little s.h.i.+n stared at him for a while before he shook his head .
"I find her cool but, isn't her job too dangerous? What if…" Little s.h.i.+n paused as worry flashed across his big beautiful eyes .
Seeing his expression, Sei lifted a brow .
"Did you think your dad didn't do a thing about that yet?" He asked and the little boy tilted his head again on the other side .
"I just . . . want to make sure . " He replied and Sei's face turned a bit dark .
"Are you saying you don't trust your father enough?" he asked, his voice was a bit cold . However, the boy remained unfazed as he answered him honestly .
"I do but dad is so busy . " He answered, leaving Sei speechless .
" . . . "
"Also dad, teacher said tomorrow is our school's family day . She wanted to call you but i said i'll be the one to tell you . " The boy continued and Sei's eyes lit the moment he heard his son's message .
"Little s.h.i.+n, how about you invite your mother to attend the family day?" Sei suggested . He was asking but truth be told, he already formulated a plan and his son will be the one who will do the first step .
"I can?!" The boy exclaimed . And excitement immediately filled his eyes the moment Sei nodded .
On the sidelight, Zaki who was quietly watching for a while now could only shake his head as he smiled . He can't believe that these father and son were plotting a move in the middle of the night . They exactly look as though they were soldiers discussing a certain strategy to capture something very important .
Sei was speaking while the little boy was nodding, intensely focused onto his father . It was as if he was listening to an important mission .
After the heart to heart planning, the boy dozed off and he fell into his father's lap .
"Hey, i can't believe you will really use your son . " Zaki said as he smiled mischievously, walking closer to the two .
"There's nothing wrong about it . And besides, two is better than one . " Sei replied as he carried his son .
"I didn't say it's wrong, okay? I think that's the best idea . Little s.h.i.+n might even be a better medicine to her than you . " Zaki retorted, throwing him a teasing smile .
"Anyway, go back to Country H and fetch your fiancee . I'm sure Davi will be happy to see her . " Sei said before he walked away, leaving Zaki scratching the back of his neck . He then raised his head and looked outside the window . His blank eyes started br.i.m.m.i.n.g with wild antic.i.p.ation as he thinks about the fiancee Sei was talking about .
