Chapter 33: Chapter 33

"Atreus, Daddy will go home. Come here, hurry up!" Anya called her son who was sitting on Andrius' thighs. His two arms clung to the young man's neck as his head pressed against his chest.

Atreus shook his head. Anya sighed from the sight. She looked at her wristwatch and saw that it was already dawn. She also turned his gaze to Andrius who was sitting in their bamboo chair in front of her.

The two of them faced each other as he hugged her child. Anya motioned Andrius to convince their child to come down from his arms but the young man just shrugged. When she looked at her Pappi for help, his only response was a raised eyebrow.

"Can Daddy sleep here, Mommy? Please, Pappila ..." Atreus said while still clinging to his father. Her voice was full of anticipation so the girl had a harder time deciding.

"There! Your son is also stubborn. He will inherit that from you because you were like that before. You don't even want to obey the law," her father whispered. He was just next to her. He was free to stare at Andrius while carrying their child while still shaking and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Pappi," Anya bowed. She knew her father was right. She was too stubborn, then.

"Come on, Kiddo. Daddy will come here again tomorrow, okay? I'll be back again, I promise," Andrius whispered to his son. He even kissed the top of Atreus' head. He also stroked the child's back because it looked sleepy as well.

Atreus was crying in his arms earlier as Anya introduced him as his father. He knew the child was tired and it was too late so he just had to go to sleep.

"But you said, you won't leave me again Daddy? Please ... Atreus wanted to sleep with you. I miss you, Daddy!" Atreus said to his father as he nodded.

When Andrius saw the child's appearance, he wanted to take it home. It was too cute to miss. He wanted to kiss him as if there was no tomorrow. Up to this day he still couldn't fully imagine that an idiot like him would have an angel like this.

It was as if a warm hand was caressing his heart. Fulfillment was evident in his being. He also glanced at Anya in front of him. He sighed as his father whispered something. Andrius smiled and shook his head. Even though time had passed, Anya didn't change a bit.

On the other hand, Anya was back to her senses when her Pappi pinched her on the side. She stared at him with a shrug on her shoulder.

"Put that to sleep in the bedroom. It's late. Good thing there was no business tomorrow," her Pappi whispered in her ear. Anya nodded and glanced at Andrius who was also staring at her. The girl immediately looked far away from him and bowed her head.

"Yes. Thank you Pappi," Anya replied to her father.

"Is there anything else I can do? Look at your son, Anya. Pity," his gentle response to her. Her Pappi's eyes filled with tears before she glanced at Andrius and his son.

Anya nodded to her father in agreement. The longing for the father's face was already visible on the child's face. She looked up as her Pappi stood up.

"Oh, you can sleep here Mr. Monterio. Stand by your son. Not my son daughter," he said to Andrius. He stared at the young man while raising an eyebrow.

"Yes! Sir," Andrius answered politely. He also nodded Anya's Pappi which was also answered by the latter with another nod.

Before turning to another room, Anya's father glared at her. Although she was confused by what she was doing, the girl also nodded. When it finally left, Anya just released her previously held breath.

"Ah..."

Anya ordered herself. She lost her words again when the young man was with her like this. When she looked at Andrius, his smiling face opened up to her. He glared at the young man who was just shaking the latter.

"Come on, baby," Andrius informed the girl.

Anya was stunned by what he said. He also opened his mouth and seemed to be deep in thought. "Du bist wunderschoen, Anya. Even when your mouth is open," the young man added while shaking.

"What? Come on. What are you talking about?"

Anya stood up and quickly left in front of Andrius. She tried to hide her reddened cheek from him. It was not very clear but she knew the traces on her face were the effect of what he said. She smiled secretly afterwards.

Anya knew a little German language. She studied it somehow. Even in cooking, the girl knew how to cook. She did that for him. Somehow, she did not even believe that they would ever meet but he knew his heart was hoping.

"Just stay here and put down Atreus," Anya said as she made a thin bed with a superman bedsheet.

Andrius carefully laid down the child who was sound asleep. He also adjusted his pillow and floated carefully. Anya just watched quietly as the young man did all that. She could clearly see in his blue eyes a father's love for his son. She knew Andrius would be a good father to her son.

When the young man finished, the two stared at each other. Both waited who wanted to speak first. But in the end, Andrius was still the first to break the silence.

"I will go, now. I'll be back tomorrow," he said.

Andrius stretched out to kiss the child on the forehead. Then he walked out of the room. But even before he left, Anya stopped him. She held one of his arms with his two hands.

"Ah, you can stay with Atreus. I will sleep on the other side, too. Pappi is right. It's late. Besides, I also know that my son will look for you tomorrow," embarrassed Anya said.

Anya was just surprised when he removed her grip. The young man then pulled her up and presented her with him. Even though she was surprised by him, she hugged him back tightly.

"Our son, Anya," Andrius whispered over her head. "Atreus is our son. You and me," he said firmly to Anya as he gently stroked her hair. Anya nodded at his statement while he was still hugging her.

Moments later, the two lay down next to their son. Even though the bed was small, the three on top of it still fitted. Even though she was not sleepy, the girl forced to close her eyes and go to sleep. She would leave it for now. It was up to tomorrow.

As Anyal closed her eyes, Andrius watched her. Like the maiden, she could not sleep either. He was very overwhelmed by the fact that he was laying in the bed beside his son and Anya. His heart felt happy for what was happening and it was unbearable.

"Thank you," he whispered softly as he looked at the girl's closed eyes.

Andrius woke up early the next day. If he really slept he did not know. He immediately opened his eyes when the feeling of someone tightly hugging him was evident.

Andrius looked at Anya's beautiful sleeping face. He slowly raised his hand and caressed her gentle face. He also carefully brought his face closer to hers and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Daddy!"

Andrius immediately signaled his son to be quiet as he slightly shouted. Atreus was behind the young man and he looked like he was awake earlier than them. He first untied the girl's hug from him before turning around to face the child.

"Hello, kiddo. Good morning!" he greeted him with a smile.

"Morgen, Daddy. I wanted to go to the beach. Beach! Beach! Beach!" Andrius' eyes widened and he got up quickly. He also quickly took off the stripped clothes last night and put them on. He quickly picked up the child and glanced at Anya slightly before finally leaving the room.

Andrius just breathed a sigh of relief before the child shouted again. He was afraid that Anya would wake up and disturb her sleep. Just a few steps later the two reached the living room. Andrius immediately saw Pappi drinking coffee on the small table inside the kitchen.

"Pappila, let's go to my Daddy's beach!" his son shouted again.

Upon hearing, Pappi raised his head. He immediately looked at Andrius with a critical look. He stood up to approach the two with the coffee he was drinking.

"Hey, where are you taking my grandson? Aba! Aba! Mister Monterio you can't do that!" he said immediately as soon as the two of them met.

"Pappila, we're going to the beach. Right, Daddy?" her son's innocent answer. Atreus looked at Andrius with a smile and then begged to look at his grandfather.

"Oh, my gosh! You're one cute little monster," Pappi's surrendering statement to his grandson. He even sighed as it dropped his shoulder to return to the kitchen. "Now, you two. Go away!" he said as he pushed the two away.

Atreus' smile was so big that his grandfather finally agreed. Andrius also smiled as he carried the child towards the beach he said. It was a public beach just across from Anya's house. A few meters from the area highway. It was still connected to the Pacific Ocean and was often used as a surfing spot by foreigners.

"I wanna swim, Daddy." Atreus said immediately upon seeing the place.

"Sure, baby. Let me take off your clothes first," Andrius replied as he lowered the child into the sand.

Andrius smiled from the fact that his son looked like him who loved water. After undressing the child, he also took off his clothes. He also took the cellphone out of the pocket of his jogging pants and called his sister.

"Hey, baby. I missed you!" Andrius opened immediately when Sofia answered his call.

"How's your stalking? Oh, Andrius. You might cry over that again." Sofia foolishly answered to the young man immediately.

Andrius laughed at what she said. His sister knew what had been happening to him since Anya disappeared. Even so, he knew she was annoyed with the girl for what she had done to him before, his sister still supported him.

"I have a surprise for you. Come in here. You'll love it, baby," Andrius said to his sister as he watched his son playing with the sand.

"Okay, we're coming. We're just close from your area.. The kids also wanted Mabua Beach, too. See you, later!" Sofia said goodbye to him before killing the other line.

Andrius first set the GPS of his cellphone so that his sister could quickly track him down. Then he sighed. He sat on the sand while still watching his child who was just on the edge of the vast ocean and chasing the waves.

Moments later, he remembered to call his four bodyguards. Up to this day he was still irritated when they kept the secret about his son.

"Hello, Mr. Monterio!" opened immediately by Arthur. One of his four bodyguards.

"Fuck you!" he said emphatically before glancing at the child. He breathed a sigh of relief as he did not hear his swearing.

"Relax, Mr. Monterio. Why?" his innocent question on the other line made him even more annoyed.

"Why is it that you didn't tell me that I have a son?" Andrius asked directly. The other line fell silent. He thought his call was gone but when he peeked the phone it was still there.

"Surprise! Mr. Monterio! Yehey!" simultaneous shout of four bodyguards on the other line.

Andrius held the cellphone very tightly. He was even more annoyed by their silly response. If they were just in front of him he might have stumbled them.

"Daddy! Come here!"

Andrius was distracted when his son shouted. When he looked at him, he was bathing in the sea. He blushed at the thought and immediately turned off the call. He left the cellphone on the sand and hurriedly took off his jogging pants. The young man was wearing boxers when he went to his son.

"Are you, okay?" Andrius asked anxiously. The son nodded and swam not far from him. The waves were so strong that he was afraid to leave him alone while taking a bath.

"Umm, yes daddy! Just wait. I'll just pee," Atreus said goodbye to him. Andrius nodded as he watched the child come out of the sea.

When the child finally got up, the young man swam to the deep part of the sea. He had fun swimming so it was a while before he thought of going up. He frowned immediately when he saw that his son was with someone on the beach. When the image became clear he saw that it was Anya. He smiled at them and swam even faster.

Andrius forehead furrowed even more when he saw her sobbing with her son who was also crying loudly. The girl only stopped when she saw him and at the same time put up their child.

"Hey, what happened? Is everything alright?" he asked while also comforting the child who was still sobbing.

"You asshole! Are you going to kill me? Look what you did to my son!" Anya said angrily to the young man as she wiped away her own tears.

"Why, baby? Hush, now Kiddo. Daddy is here," he comforted the child. He looked at it with pity.

"I thought you drowned. I thought, you will leave us again. You are so good! You are really very rude! Your tendency to--"

Everything Anya said was interrupted when Andrius' lips silenced her. He struggled but the young man held her tightly.

"The only way to shut your mouth. I'm a professional diver baby." Andrius said foolishly after releasing the girl's lips.
