Chapter 35. Beginning to accept
POV Marchel.
I just got out of the car and my children welcomed me warmly, yes, I just got home from work.
It has now been a week since I explained who Hana and I were. finally, now Cynthia can accept me little by little. Even though sometimes the woman still seems reluctant to me, from time to time her character is starting to get better.
"Dad," Caecilia shouted excitedly.
The girl ran towards me, I swiftly just carried my little daughter. I also kissed his cheek fondly making him giggle.
"Where are your mother?" I asked Caecilia.
"Mom is with Hana," Caecilia answered.
Indeed, now Hana also lives with me at Cynthia's house. They also got closer, I also forced Hana a little to want to live together at Cynthia's house.
I also ordered Hana not without reason, I wanted someone to look after my child and also my mate while I was away. At least it puts the account at ease.
"Dad, I want to buy toys!" Cleo shouted suddenly.
"What toys do you want, Boy?"
"What's important is from Dad," Cleo replied with a wide smile.
Seeing them makes my heart feel very calm. I am happy for their presence in my life.
"Yes, then get ready! Invite your mom and also Hana as well. We're going to look for toys, shall we?"
The excited voices of my three children immediately entered my eardrums. Cleo and Calix excitedly enter the house again.
Maybe they're getting ready? I followed into the house with Caecilia in my arms.
Upon entering the house, I couldn't see Cynthia or Hana. Where are the two girls?
Did Cynthia play hide and seek because she hung out with Hana? Indeed, Hana's type doesn't exist when you look for it, but when you don't look for it, it suddenly appears, right?
"Where are your mother, honey?" I asked Caecilia.
I've been waiting for this when I come home from work I always look for Cynthia. I don't know why I love this woman more and more every day. Not seeing her alone makes me miss half to death.
I chuckled when I realized I was like a young child who was just feeling love.
But indeed loving Cynthia is my addiction. I'm willing to sacrifice anything as long as I can still see that woman's smile.
“I was here with my auntie,” Caecilia answered.
Akh, I'm more and more sure this must be Hana. Where did she take my wife?
I walked towards the kitchen but still nothing. I stopped when I heard laughter from behind the house. I just stepped my foot towards me there. And sure enough!
There I could see Hana who was laughing heartily while Cynthia was still awkward. I immediately directed my feet to approach them. It seemed they were oblivious to my presence, Caecilia and I remained silent for a while and also listened to what the two girls were talking about.
“That man is indeed very handsome! Even more than Marchel. If only you knew, I'm sure you would fall in love with her,” said Hana passionately.
I cleared my throat to break their conversation, and without taking long they immediately turned to look at me. Especially Hana with her shocked look.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
“What do you mean? Did you brainwash Cynthia? Don't mess around, you!” I said annoyed.
After all, who isn't annoyed when your sister discusses another man with your lover? Worst of all, the comparisons began. Isn't that an annoying thing?
What is the greatness of the man they are discussing?
"What? I have heard it all. who do you like? Which clan did she come from? Human too? Or werewolves?” I asked insistently.
“What are you doing here? Don't nod at me and Cynthia. This is a woman's problem, how do you understand?" asked Hana while mocking me.
"Why are you so annoying?" I replied angrily.
"What's wrong, Marchel?" Cynthia asked, looking at me confused.
“I want to spell you and the kids to the supermarket. They said they wanted to buy toys, so for that, I invite you all to buy groceries if needed," I explained. Cynthia nodded happily. Unknowingly you smiled at that.
"You didn't invite me?" said Hana.
"Of course, who will bring groceries later if not you?" I asked Hana.
That's not true, I also only teased Hana. Besides, I can't possibly order Hana to carry groceries.
After everything is ready now I just go to the supermarket with my little family.
Arriving at the supermarket, Caecilia and Cleo followed Hana to a place where toys were sold. While Calix joined me and Cynthia looking for food ingredients.
"Have you accepted me?" I asked on the sidelines pushing the trolley.
Cynthia, who was choosing fruits, stopped for a few moments to stare at me, then returned to her fruit-picking activities. But my question has not been answered at all.
Is it possible that she doesn't love and accept me yet? She did this all because of the children?
I was silent and did not restart the conversation when the woman did not answer my question.
“I'm trying to accept you, Marchel. You take it easy because it seems I also fell for the charm that you have. Am I stupid?” asked Cynthia. But the woman didn't look at me at all.
She was busy picking some fruit, but Cynthia's words pleased me. Whether it's just a hoax or real, I don't care. What's clear is that I'm happy because Cynthia said she started loving me.
If only this wasn't in a public place, maybe I would have hugged her tightly too. But the account had to discourage me from going home later.
“I am very grateful to you, Cynthia,” I replied with a big smile.
Cynthia turned to look at me, the woman also smiled at me. “I should be the one thanking you, Marchel. Thank you for wanting to convince me.”
I feel like this is a happy heart for me, I then continued my shopping interspersed with small sales and jokes.
“Dad, Mom, I want to eat,” Calix said suddenly.
"What do you want to eat?" I asked with concern.
"Chicken!" she clucked happily.
"Marchel, let's buy some food for Calix first, shall we?" I nodded in response. without Cynthia asking of course I also have the initiative.
"I want that," Calix said, pointing to the butcher cupboard.
"You want me to cook it?" asked Cynthia confusedly.
"No! I want to eat it straight, uncooked!” Calix said.
Cynthia and I looked at each other for a few seconds. Yes, what else can I do?
No matter what, Calix still has the blood of a wolf who can have desires at any time. like this example, he wants to eat raw chicken meat.
"If now and here will not be possible," I replied while looking at the visitors who were quite busy.
This was the second time Calix had asked for a raw chicken like this, while Cleo and Caecilia had shown absolutely no sign of what Calix was experiencing.
I'm also still confused why my two children don't, but if I don't want to bother, no matter what, there is human blood flowing in their bodies. It might have slowed down his wolfish desires.
“You can go to the car first, Marchel. I can't bear to see Calix starving like this,” said Cynthia.
“While I left you here alone? What if it gets lost later?” Cynthia tapped my shoulder lightly. It didn't hurt at all, but I still winced to dramatize the vehicle.
"I'm not a child, Marchel!"
"Okay, Calix, come with me, you want something to eat, right?" Calix nodded with sparkling eyes.
I'm a wolf too of course you know what it's like not to eat raw chicken of course it's torturous I don't want Calix to be like that.
So I bought three packs of chicken and paid for it. After that, I went to the car with Calix.
"Dad, I am hungry," said the little man again.
After Calix entered the car I followed and closed the door tightly.
When I felt safe, I handed the three bags of raw chicken to Calix.
Calix Just ate the raw chickens with gusto.
Initially, I thought that Cynthia would not accept her fate when she found out that her child was wolf blood and was already showing the signs. But the guess turned out to be wrong.
Cynthia became more protective of her child and accepted me. That woman drives me crazy!
"Dad, why don't Caecilia and Cleo like raw chicken?" asked the little man innocently.
"Do you know? people's tastes are different. Just like you who like strawberry milk and Caecilia vanilla. Isn't that different?" Calix nodded and then returned to continue eating.
After a few minutes, Calix finally finished letting go of his desire to eat raw chicken. When finished I cleaned Calix's lips then entered the supermarket again to look for the others.
"Dad, I want to be with Caecilia and Cleo," Calix said when he saw his twin brother and sister looking for toys together with Hana always accompanying them.
"Yeah, you go there. I will look for your mom," I replied.
Calix quickly ran towards Hana and her brother. While I was looking for Cynthia's whereabouts.
My eyes have searched in all directions but there is absolutely no Cynthia. My feet have also been around the supermarket.
"What are you looking for?" I looked back and found Cynthia's figure staring at me confused.
“What are you looking for, Marchel?” repeated the woman.
“Of course you are! Where have you been? I've been looking for you since earlier,'' I replied.
"Is it true? You don't see me? I can very clearly see you are confused," said Cynthia.
I opened my eyes in surprise, finally, so she saw all my movements, looking for her here and there, but couldn't find her.
"You should have come straight to me!" I answered annoyed.
"What about Calix?" asked Cynthia suddenly.
"It's done. He went after Hana and his twin. Have you accepted this fate?”
"How many times do I have to tell you that I have accepted you?"
