Father Or Boyfriend ?
Chapter 174

Devan was now biting the bread with his trembling body, he was quite hungry this time, no different from the baby. Devan's lips also tremble it feels like he is not strong enough to hold back his cries. How can he now be the Son who can now only eat with a piece of bread given by a man who seems like a scavenger and even Devan does not know this old man. Devan is now reminded of his Mama, is he okay then what about his Father? Is everything okay.

"Huh," Devan complained, making her tears spill over her cheeks.

The man glanced at Devan quickly staring confusedly at the crying Devan.

"Why you?" ask the man.  

Devan shook his head while rubbing his cheeks. The man smiled and then returned to his original position, staring at the shops in front of him.

"You were dumped by your mother?" the man's question made Devan stare quickly at the man.

Devan was silent as if he did not know what to answer.

"That's your sister?" ask the man again while glancing at the baby who is still in Devan's arms.

Devan nodded quickly, he couldn't possibly say if this baby was his son. It would be a disaster for him.

"Why were you banished?" ask the man.

Devan was silent, he had not thought of an answer to that question.

"Who is this father?" devan asked, switching the conversation.

The man smiled then bowed, before long he lifted his gaze back to look at the shops.

"Now this time someone called me Father here. You see all those people?" Point the man towards those who are already asleep.

Devan hesitated.

"He never called me that name" said the man then pointed back to the passing vehicle.

"And that."

Devan.

"They called me a street guy and a useless old man."

Devan was silent, that was not the answer he asked for.

"You seem like a good boy but how could you be dumped by your mother?"

Devan bowed after hearing that made the man exhale deeply.

"Well but I realize life is full of pressure, your mother has a reason to throw you out" she said.

"Do you know son? Our lives were turned upside down, you were dumped by your mother and I was dumped by my son."

The man complained and then fell down sad.

Devan who heard that quickly turned his head to look at the man with an unexpected look. How can any child throw his father away like this.

"Why?" devan asked carefully, he was afraid that the old man would be offended.

"I think I'm a burden," the man replied and then he smiled, he was forced to cover up his sadness to make Devan bow down as if sorry with his question that made the man look sad. 

"Whose name are you, son?" the man's question made Devan move his head to look at the man.

"My name is De-" Devan's words came to a halt, now he remembered Mr. Abraham. Devan was afraid that they would look for him and say his name. 

"Who?" ask the man.

Devan now moves his head to look in all directions and then quietly looks at a store that says 'Ceoma' is probably the name of the store taken from the name of the store owner.

"My name is Ceo" Devan answered quickly looking at the man who had been looking at him with a serious look.

The man nodded, seemingly unsuspecting by the pseudonym.

"Then your sister?"

Fool, it feels like this old man has been asking questions that Devan has not thought of the answer.

"Emmm...Cia" replied Devan.

Devan doesn't know from out of nowhere his stupid brain gets a name like that, but what else must come up with just that name.

The man nodded back.

"Destiny," the man replied quickly then smiled.

Now it's Devan's turn to nod to make Destiny smile and then pat Devan warmly on the shoulder like his own family makes Devan feel comfortable with the clap.

"Sleep, Son!" said Fate then stepped towards the cardboard that was in the title on the floor that looked rather dirty right next to an old cart.

Devan was silent for a moment then looked at the little baby who had fallen asleep.

"Come, Son! I have a cardboard box for you tonight" said the man.

Devan was silent for a moment and breathed a heavy breath and after that he got up and also laid his body to the surface of the cardboard while hugging the body of his tiny baby.

...____***____...

The sound of birds chirping was accompanied by the sound of shop doors being opened as the sun began to slowly show its light.

Devan is now rising from a cardboard pedestal given by Mr. Destiny that has helped him not to get cold from the floor so cold. The baby, named Cia, also appeared to be sound asleep in Devan's arms last night.

"Away awake?" tanya Fate while tidying up her used cardboard bed and put it in a cart.

Devan nodded.

"Would you follow Father, soon the PP satpol will come and catch us one by one," said Fate while stepping away with his cart he pulled.

Devan was silent for a moment and then immediately took Cia and took her to pursue Fate anyway with a milk box and baby pacifier that was in a black crackle that both holes in the chain to the rope raffia it looks cross-sectioned on Devan's body exactly like a bag.

Fate smiled as he looked at Devan who was now stepping beside him.

"Where are you going?" ask Devan.

"Finding life," replied Fate to make Devan confused.

"meaning?"

The Fate Step came to a halt in a garbage can that looked so full, there was a lot of plastic waste there.

The man did not answer and then immediately fiddled with the contents of the barrel until it was excited.

"You mean looking for life it means looking for garbage?" devan asked as he looked at Fate who was still fiddling with the trash can.

"This is not rubbish" replied Fate, who was holding a plastic bottle and putting it in a cart.

"It's alive" Fate continued and then stepped back while pulling his wagon.

"Living?" ask Devan

Destiny nodded.

"With this trash I can live without having to be a burden to my Son," Fate explained then stepped up while pulling his wagon.

The utterance of Fate is now able to make Devan speechless, but continues to follow the steps of Destiny.

"You seem tired" said Destiny.

Devan shook his head quickly and smiled.

"Wheel up to the wagon!"

"But Sir-"

"It's okay, just go up!" tell Destiny while smiling sincerely.

Devan was silent, thinking of something. How could he get on the wagon and let this old man pull his wagon, this only added a burden to Fate . At the time of Devan who was still thinking From a distance Devan was able to see a line of cars that seemed to move on the paved road, Devan was able to see the line of cars that seemed to move on the paved road, the luxury car was similar to Mr. Abraham's car and then it was true that from one of the cars there was Mr. Abraham who was sitting sweetly in his car while Jef was controlling the speed of the car.

Before long some of the cars stopped by the roadside, getting Mr. Abraham and his men off the car.

"Find Devan and the baby right now and kill him!!!" abraham shouted to his men, without regard for those who seemed shocked after hearing the cry.

Devan's body instantly trembled and without a second thought he immediately climbed into the wagon. Devan pulled out a large sack and covered her body with the baby. Devan's breath was tight, he was really scared right now.

Mr. Destiny fell silent after staring at what Devan was doing. With a slow gaze he began to stare at the horde in black uniforms that had now spread out in all directions. Mr. Destiny smiled softly and then immediately stepped while pulling his wagon.

"Stop!!!" jef shouted then approached Fate which now stopped his steps.
