Spirit of Life

"Don't let everyone know that we're officially married. Just pretend you're my babysitter," Marvel said.

"Well."

Merely what Nadia could do, she was confused about how to act. To refute, he also did not dare.

"In a little while, we'll be there. You should get ready to unload the luggage!" Marvel's orders.

Nadia was confused, Nadia forgot that she didn't bring any clothes.

"Why are you still daydreaming?" asked Marvel.

"I forgot to bring a dress," Nadia answered with a downcast face.

"Oh. I forgot you are indeed a poor person. What will you bring, you have nothing. Even just to buy a shirt, you will not be able to." Marvel again insulted and belittled Nadia.

Nadia could only cry at Marvel's words, Nadia wanted to jump out of the car. However, Nadia still remembered her mother's words. His mother once said, never to run away from trouble. Running from problems will never solve problems. As long as the breath is still in the soul, never give up. Must be strong and keep praying.

Nadia often remembers her mother's words, especially when she has started to despair in her life.

"Let's hurry out.!" Marvel pulled Nadia's hand into the shopping center.

"Where are we going?" Nadia ventured to ask.

"Before you go home, you have to shop for clothes first. What will he say later, if my babysitter is dressed like that." Marvel just kept pulling Nadia's hand.

Nadia didn't dare to ask again, Nadia didn't want to make Marvel angry anymore.

Nadia chooses clothes that she thinks are appropriate for women wearing hijab, Nadia chooses three clothes.

"You want to underestimate me, Hah.!" exclaimed Marvel.

"Why only buy three pieces, you're afraid I can't afford it," said Marvel.

"No, it's not like that. I just don't want to spend more of your money," replied Nadia

"Don't think my money will run out, just buy whatever you like!" Marvel's orders.

Nadia also chose clothes carelessly. Nadia didn't know what kind of clothes she had put in her shopping bag.

"I see," Marvel spoke proudly.

"Thank you."

"Come on, go back to the car. Poor Sherina, she lives alone in the car." Take Marvel when she thinks of her little daughter.

Sherina is still about ten years old. Marvel loved him just like any father would.

It's like there is a wound hidden by Marvel so that he can become a man who is temperamental and also rude.

Nadia also didn't know about it, there was only one thing that Nadia could understand. That Marvel was a good father to Sherina. Although to be her husband, his behavior is very much different.

Nadia and Marvel walked towards the car, they were both worried about Sherina. Poor Sherina was abandoned by her mother. From a distance, they saw Sherina had woken up from her sleep."Wherefrom, Father?" Sherina asked."From shopping, what do Sherina want to buy?" Marvel asked with a soul that reflected that of a father."I want ice cream, Dad," Sherina said spoiled."Wait a minute, let Dad buy it first." Marvel immediately re-entered the shopping center. Meanwhile, Nadia sat in the car with Sherina, chatting."Mother, do you like Daddy?" asked Sherina with her face so innocent."So why? Why do you ask like that?" Nadia asked again." I'm afraid, if mom leaves dad, as my mom used to," said Sherina. This time Sherina's tears fell, she remembered her biological mother.

"I miss mom, but mom never saw me and visited dad's house, maybe I was dumped by him," Sherina told a long story, telling all her feelings.

Nadia while trying to win her over and make Sherina more comfortable, Nadia tries to make Sherina not sad.

"I will not leave you, Sherina," Nadia embraced Sherina.

"That's right, Mom, I promise." Sherina gave her little finger, Nadia then grabbed her pinky. Sherina smiled again.

The two of them waited for Marvel to come along, it didn't take long. Finally, Marvel came with chocolate-flavored ice cream, Sherina's favorite ice cream. Marvel ran to the car.

"Sorry, old dad," Marvel said breathlessly.

"It's okay, Dad. Thank you very much, I like it." Sherina is excited.

Nadia who saw Sherina's behavior was happy, Nadia loved Sherina so much. Nadia has considered Sherina as her biological child.

"Let us go home." Invite Marvel while driving the car back. The atmosphere in the car seemed so quiet, Marvel and Nadia were silent. Meanwhile, Sherina is enjoying eating the ice cream her father bought. The journey to Marvel's house is so amazing, tall buildings are lined up. It is different in the village where Nadia lives. A few minutes later, they arrived. Marvel parked his car in the garage, the garage that was right next to his house. Nadia got out of the car, and marvel also followed.

As for Sherina, she is spoiled again to Nadia. He asked to be put down, and Sherina asked to be carried.

"Dad, can I play with Mom?" Sherina asked Marvel.

"Of course, you can honey," Marvel replied with a smile.

Hearing the answer from her father, Sherina pulled Nadia's hand.

"Come on, Mom. I'll just take you around our house." Sherina held Nadia's hand. Nadia was so stunned to see Marvel's house, it turned out that what her stepmother said was true. Nadia, who was never invited to her house even though she was a fiancé, now believes in it. Of the wealth owned by Marvel, his house is like a palace.

Beside Marvel's house, there is a small beautiful garden, there is a fish pond in the garden. When Nadia walked to the side of the garden, there was a swing that she could play with when relaxing. The garden also has so many flowers, flowers that are beautiful colors and blooming.

"It's a beautiful place, isn't it, ma'am?" Sherina asked.

"Yes," Nadia answered briefly.

"I usually when I'm sad, I play on this swing, Mom," Sherina said while pointing to the swing.

'Looks like Sherina needs a mother's love.' Nadia muttered while looking at Sherina's cute face.
