Child Friendly Approach

Franz POV

A few days after the Olympics, Hana no longer saw me or forced me to marry her. I also felt guilty for hurting Hana's heart and of course her child, my flesh and blood. Otherwise, how could I have married both girls at once? I couldn't marry Karina and Hana either. I want to have one small family, not two. But if I marry Hana, Karina will be hurt.

Franz ruffled his hair. He had been walking back and forth in the living room with his arms crossed over his chest. Thinking of a way to do the two girls justice. His mother, who saw her son confused, frowned at him.

"What's wrong, Franz? I see you've been thinking a lot lately. Did you have a fight with Karina?"

"No, mom. I just have a headache."

"Hurry up and marry Karina, she's a very nice girl. You've been in a relationship with her for a long time, you've even announced it in the media, right?"

"That's the problem, mom,"

"Problem?"

"Yes, I was wrong for announcing my relationship in the media,"

"That's the right thing to do, as long as you want to marry her, Franz. It's rare to find a girl who will take care of all your needs when you go to the Olympics, and accompany you wherever you want. It's true that the media should know. In my opinion, Karina is the perfect girl for a wife."

"But there's another girl who's already the mother of my son, just so you know. Franz thought.

"I'll think about it later." Franz said listlessly and walked towards the stairs to his room.

"What's so hard about just getting married? Why do you have to think about it again? Strange." Grumbled his mother.

Franz POV END

Today, Franz wanted to see Hana. Out of nowhere, his heart suddenly moved to see Hana. He had previously contacted Hana and asked for the girl's apartment address on the pretext of wanting to see his son. Franz stood in front of Hana's apartment door and pressed the bell.

TING TONG

The door opened, and Hana was no longer surprised because she knew it was Franz.

"Come in." Franz nodded, the two entered the apartment and Hana handed the baby to Franz.

Franz played a little with the baby boy who seemed to be at ease in his arms with his eyes open and looking at him with a smile on his small lips.

"Did you give him a name?" Franz asked. Hana shook her head.

"No, how can I name him without his father?" Hearing that, Franz certainly felt a little insinuated.

"Okay, let's name him together," Franz said.

"I don't have a name recommendation, maybe you," Hana replied awkwardly. How could she not? She wasn't ready to accept Franz either, and vice versa. Just because this child existed, they were trying to be good parents to the child. Franz looked at Hana sadly.

"What if his name is Daniel, and later his surname uses my surname? After all, he is my son," Franz suggested. Hana just complied.

"Well, I don't have a surname. Then you can add your surname to his," Hana replied with a smile.

"Now your name will be Daniel." Franz stroked the baby's head and kissed it.

Days passed and weeks passed. Franz met Hana at her apartment every day to see his son. He didn't want to be considered a bad father for being irresponsible and unaware of his son's condition. Although it was done secretly so that the media did not know, Karina certainly felt suspicious because Franz's attitude began to be strange and seemed to be away from her.

Unlike usual when going to the Olympics, he always told Karina and the girl prepared all her needs. Not this time, before leaving for the basketball Olympics, Franz met Hana and Daniel.

"I have the Olympics today. But because I miss Daniel, I intend to come here first," said Franz who had prepared all his equipment in the large bag on his back.

"Karina prepared everything?"

"No, this time I'm alone, do you want to see my match this time? With Daniel too,"

"No, what about the media? Karina will find out about this and get jealous. Not just your name, my name will also be affected because I work for a television channel," Hana said.

"It's okay, you can wear a cloak and mask to cover your face."

"Seriously?" Franz nodded.

"Alright, I'll get ready."

On the other hand, Karina was watching television and remembered that it was Franz's scheduled match against Heaven City.

"Oh my, I forgot that Franz has a basketball game today! I'll call him."

She tried to call Franz, but Franz's cell phone was off.

"Tsk! Where the hell is that guy? How can he not pick up the phone from his own girlfriend? He hasn't updated me lately either. I wonder where he really is?" Her monologue. Then her brain thought of something else.

"I'll just go to his house." The breakup was because she was already annoyed with Franz's attitude.

Arriving at Franz's house, Karina asked Franz's mother.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Oh? Karina, I thought it was you. Come on in."

"Auntie, is Franz here?"

"You know, don't you guys often hang out together? Why are you asking Auntie?"

"No, Franz hasn't called me lately. I guess he hasn't left yet."

"But your relationship is fine, right?" Instead of answering, Karina excused herself.

"Alright, I'm going to Franz's match,"

"Yes... yes." Franz's mother must have felt strange about the whole situation.

Franz had finished the Olympics well and won the gold medal and trophy for his group.

"You're the real deal, bro! I salute you," Ian, Franz's basketball teammate, praised with a face full of sincerity. The praised one smiled victoriously.

"Relax, it's normal for our team to win," Franz said.

"Hahaha, yes-iya. By the way, isn't Karina sticking to you like usual? Where is she? Aren't you going to marry her?" Asked Franz's other friend Terrence.

"Karina's not feeling well, maybe next time she'll come along," replied Franz with a fake smile.

"Then, who prepared all this?"

"I did it myself, why not while I can? Let's go home!" Franz said, patting his two friends on the shoulder.

Franz waited for his friends to leave first and then met Hana san Daniel.

"Are you hungry? Let's go to a nearby cafe."

"Okay."

.

At a cafe called 'Bear', they were eating without talking. Fortunately the baby in Hana's arms wasn't fussy or anything, he was just sleeping peacefully, so the mother could eat in peace. Suddenly Franz's voice startled her.

"I'll marry you as I promised." Hana is startled, sucking her lips inward, then just as she's about to speak, another voice interrupts her.

"No!"

It turned out to be Karina. She heard everything and it made her heart really hurt.

"You've gone too far, Franz!" Karina pointed at Franz with tears streaming down her thin cheeks. Hana and Franz were shocked, how could Karina be in the same cafe as them?

Then Karina came out of the cafe still crying deeply. Franz immediately chased after his girlfriend. Meanwhile, Hana was also confused by her own thoughts.

"Should I accept Franz as my husband?"
