Father Or Boyfriend ?
Chapter 25

"Why ?" Cia asked seriously while looking at Devan's back who was now stopping his steps.

"Why do you always avoid that, I asked about mama ?"

"Gue just wanted to know who his mother was, Cia."

Devan was still there not turning his head. Cia tau Devan is still hearing her speech.

"Gue hope you can understand ! I just want to know who Mama is, Cia."

"Because, Cia never saw Mama's face even her name Ajah Cia did not know," said Cia again.

Devan slowly turned his head but, not looking at Cia's face but Devan looked down as if he did not dare to look at Cia's face. Devan breathed a deep breath from his lips not knowing what to say.

Devan turned his back to Cia quickly and walked away without saying a word.

Cia was silent staring at Devan's departure, again the question was no longer answered.

..._____******_____...

Adelio brushed the black bag belonging to the grumpy girl with a hard, white soap foam appears to cover the surface of the bag. Several times Adelio flushed the bag that seemed to remove all the brown dirt. I don't know how long that grumpy woman hasn't washed her bag. Adelio did not know why he brought the woman's bag home and washed it. Honestly Adelio could not bear to leave the bag in class alone, Adelio also did not want if the bag was lost taken by people. Actually Adelio had been waiting for the grumpy woman for an hour more in class but, she never came.

"Adelio !" Bitch Julia.

Adelio who was surprised to hear the reprimand of his mother turned quickly and hid the bag behind his body.

"Ngapain over there, son ?"

"A.a.a... anu, ma'am sa.sa.sa..me..," he answered stammeringly. Adelio doesn't know what his mother will say later if, knowing he washes the bag of a girl he took from class.

Julia glanced at something Adelio seemed to be hiding from behind her body. Julia knew very well if, there was something Adelio was hiding from her plus the nervousness that Adelio showed.

Julia smiled slowly and then stepped to the left to look at the basket not far from Adelio. Adelio shifted her body trying to hide the bag that was behind her while continuing to look at her mother.

"Why the hell, son ?"

Adelio shook his head quickly.

Julia smiled again and put the dirty laundry in a red basket filled with dirty laundry.

"what do you want ?"

"Wash your clothes why ?"

Adelio was silent to hear his mother's answer if, his mother remained here then his mother would definitely see the bag he was washing and Adelio did not want it to happen.

"Don't, Ma !"

Julia was silent staring in wonder at Adelio's manner.

"I mean let Adelio just wash i.. i.. mother just rest !"

"Well but, right ?"

"Let Adelio do the washing, ma'am."

Julia furrowed her brows cluelessly with Adelio who suddenly wanted to wash clothes. I don't know what Adelio is thinking right now. Julia nodded and smiled sweetly even though she was still confused by Adelio's behavior.

"Ok, then," he broke up.

Adelio gave a quick look at his mother who now began to step slowly with a still confused look..

15 Minutes later....

Adelio ran towards the balcony while tightly grasping the black bag that Adelio was washing, water droplets seemed to pour from the black bag making the floor of the house look wet leaving a long trail that Adelio had crossed. The bag was firmly squeezed by Adelio and hung it on a white iron clothesline. Adelio stepped back when the bag was already sunburned, hopefully the bag was dry before morning.

...____****_____...

The sound of birds chirping is heard above the pink tabebuya flower branches that look more like cherry blossoms.

A few leaves fell to the ground as the wind blew through the tree branch. The morning that was still dark now slowly appeared bright in the sun.

Adelio hit his phone when the chat from him never returned by Harni, his girlfriend in Makassar. Adelio knows if he is wrong because he has left Harni but, Adelio has promised to return to Makassar. Adelio did not know why Harni's attitude changed even though he himself had allowed him to leave despite a little rejection and the agreement to not be too familiar or talk to women in Jakarta but, instead, he was the only one who had asked to leave, why doesn't Harni reply to the chat and pick up the phone from her.

"Adelio !" Julia's voice was heard from outside accompanied by a knocking sound made Adelio wake up from his daydream.

"Yes, ma'am," Adelio said quickly.

"Breakfast !"

"Yes, Mom" said Adelio.

"Lo don't know, Ci how sick I was in the inject that night, beh it feels ah steady !" Babeh Haikal while controlling the speed of the motor that is traveling is on the asphalt.

Cia fell silent behind Haikal with reddened eyes, still sleepy. Cia did not care about the haikal babble that he uttered during the trip to school. I don't know why Haikal likes to tell stories about last night while he's not interested in hearing them.

"Ci !"

"Ciaaaa !!!" Shouted Haikal while staring at Cia's face in the rearview mirror of the motorbike.

"Ah, what, Kal ?" ask cia quickly.

"Ehh, from earlier heard. I asked which bag of Lo ?".

"Oh, it's in class" Cia replied as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Lo why, Ci ?"

"Congratulations, I."

"Oh, that's it." Haikal.

They were silent no more words were thrown out. Haikal glanced at Cia again from his rearview mirror. Perhaps, this was an opportunity for him to inquire about Cia and Ceo's relationship. Haikal took a deep breath and exhaled through the tip of his lips trying to calm down.

"Ci !"

"Em," said Cia lazily.

"Gue wants it but, Lo don't tell Ceo's boss, yeah !".

"Ep,"

"Actually Lo is the same-".

"Front of it, kal !" peech Cia while patting Haikal's shoulder slowly when the distance of the motorbike with the school gate is near.

Haikal stopped his motorbike slowly in front of the school that looked crowded. Cia stepped Turung from the bike, tidied up his white shirt and looked at Haikal who looked silent.

Nging !!! the first hour immediately began all students and high school students of the nation entered their respective classes !!!

The sound of the warning sign was heard making Cia exhale in relief. This time he was not as late as usual.

"Why, Kal ?"

"Ah, not !" Haikal shook his head slowly.

"So, I'm asking you something, what's something, Kal ?"

Haikal fell silent as to whether he should continue his question to Cia about his relationship with Ceo.

"Buck !"

"Well, why ?"

"Lo, what's wrong ?" Cia laughed a little with a confused face.

"Ci." Haikal rubbed the back of his warm neck, feeling hesitant.

"Actually Lo equals Ceo what's the connection ?" ask Haikal.

Cia's smile disappeared from her lips after hearing Haikal's question. I don't know what Cia has to say to Haikal who is still staring at him waiting for an answer from him. Cia has promised Devan not to tell people that Devan is his real father. Well even though Cia often refused because, not getting a reason from Devan is clear.

"Ci !"

Cia looked at the face of Haikal who was now calling his name, smiling doubtfully.

"Gue go in first, yeah." Cia turned and slowly stepped her feet.

Again, the question is unanswered. I don't know why that question was so hard for Cia to answer. What is cia's relationship with Ceo ?

"Ci !!!" Shouted Haikal again looking at Cia who did not look at him in the least.

"Entar I'm picking you up, yeah ?!!"

Cia's steps stopped. Nika, Haikal picked her up again then she would definitely ask the same thing, honestly she had no answer to it.

"Not to ! Let me go home with Fika !!!" cia yelled and then walked back without looking at Haikal.
