SINGLE DAD - by Mudathir Abdul Hafiz

???? Babysitting his Crazy kids ???? ???? Episode 2 ???? ???? DAVID ???? She sat beside me while I drove on and I couldn’t help but marveled at her beauty. I wonder why she cried when she lost her money, I mean, it was just a hundred.Bet it meant Alot to her. She look gloomy and I just wish I could help brighten that smooth face. My phone suddenly Buzzed inside my pocket as a message popped in. I opened and read within me .It’s my Colleague. Alicia. ???? You’re almost late for lunch Babe. I shrugged my shoulders as I pocketed it back. Lunch? Speaking of lunch my kids must be really hungry. And for the record, Alicia is just a female friend who hasn’t met my kids.If she has, I wouldn’t think she’d see a reason to keep pushing her Feelings for me. I know she has Feelings. Every lady in this town who knows me has mites of crushes on me. I’m charming, you can say that again. Single mothers and even the principal of my kid’s school has a liking in me. And that’s one thing I’m never gonna let my kid know about. They do not like seeing me with other women. Not even talking to their classmates mom. I don’t know why..!their rules is always straight.. *Do not get involved with ladies. They do not want a second Mommy* Wait…! My brain tried to transfix it..I turned in bewildment to the lady sitted beside me. “What? Is there a problem?” She asked Also, read Single Dad. PrologueShe couldn’t help but notice the way I was staring at her.So weird. “N-Nothing..” I swallowed hard. There’s a lady beside me now. And we are both on our way to pick up the kids. Why didn’t I think of this earlier? My kids are gonna fry my hair????. ????THE KIDS???? “I’m Hungry…” Kayla complained bitterly as they waited outside the school gate for their dad.Obviously running out of patience. “How long does it take someone to drive down here!!” Janietta almost freaked out . “Maybe he’s buying us a suprise food-pack” Noel squiled in excitement. He’s a total foodie. Janietta scoffed in disbelief.“The day you stop thinking of food all the time, that’s the day you’re gonna mature” “Whatever…” Noel rolled his eyes “Wait.. I think I see dad coming” a smile stretched on janietta’s lips. “Yay!!” Kayla jumped up overwhelmed.As they watched their Father’s car halt almost before them. David stepped down from his car as he met the smiling faces of his kids. Not for long.Their smiles soon turned to a hard frown when Rosiana stepped out too. “Who’s she?” 5 years old Kayla asked looking puzzled. “I think Dad has some explanations to give us..” Janietta muttered under her breathe. ???? DAVID ???? “Dad what took you so long?..” they chorused at a time. Looking almost angry. “Hey I’m sorry kids.. but I got held up in something. ” I spoke out, walking towards them. “Something? Or her?” Janietta frowned staring at the lady standing beside my Jeep. I don’t even know her name. “What. No no . She… Also, read Single Dad. Episode 8“Daddy is she your girlfriend?” Noel suddenly asked. “Hahaha.. no no.. she.isnt “If she isn’t who’s she then? And why was she sitting on the front seat with you?” Janietta ranted out and I felt short of words. Before I knew what was happening, Janietta charged towards the Lady. Oh god! What sort of child is this? “Janietta come back here!” I whisper-yelled. But she didn’t hear me. Soon enough, Kayla followed suite. Alongside Noel.. “Haha.. these kids are gonna be the death of me” I laughed hysterically.. almost crying. ???? ROSIANA ???? I stared closely around the environment when suddenly I heard a little girl’s voice. I turned my face straight just to see three kids marching towards me. They must be his kids. ” Hey miss” the older girl spoke out. Looking up at me. I’m way taller than her and I almost laughed out seeing the seriousness on her face. “Hi..” I smiled.. “Who are you?? What are you doing with our dad and how did you even know him?Where was the spot you met him and most importantly, why were you seating on my seat in my dad’s car?!!” “Whooa! Slow down fiesty.. too many questions. Which one am I supposed to Answer first?”I looked suprised but mehhhnnn. This girl looks d@mn serious. “Were you trying to kidnap my daddy?”The other little girl softly spoke out. Almost in tears. Gosh! What’s this? He was the one riding not me. “No darling.. I wasn’t. Something happened and I would like it if you let Daddy explain to you.” I patted her on her cheeks. “Daddy is a big guy. He can’t be kidnapped okay..” I added trying to soothe her. And it worked. She giggled at my touch and ran back to meet her dad. Aww. What a sweet little girl. I stared up and my eyes met with the older girl. She still looked furious and I don’t know why.. I wasn’t doing anything with her Dad. “I swear girlie. I wasn’t doing anything with your father..” She had doubts in her face. I seriously can’t handle this alone.. her dad better come right here and talk to her himself. I looked over to his direction and saw him talking to his sweet little daughter. “Mr. David. Please your attention is needed here..” I called out. Seems I just made a big mistake cause the look on the older girl’s face was terrific ” OH-MY-GOD! You know my dad’s name?? How the hell did you know his name???You are not supposed to know his name since you aren’t my mom or his girlfriend….” She paused a little and looked suprised at me. “Or are you??? …..” Her eyes almost bulging out it’s socket. “DADDY!!!!!!!” She shrieked out almost deafening my ears. What have I gotten myself into ????..
