KAYLA, The Substitute
Mutual forgiving

Kayla hugs Rafi fondly, this afternoon she meets Gilang and Rafi. The boy misses Kayla's figure already since Kayla and Gilang's relationship has not improved in recent times.

A pretty awkward meeting, Dev was also present there. The jealous man stared intently at Gilang as if he wanted to swallow him alive but because of Kayla he was forced to just shut up and see how Gilang shamelessly met Kayla for Rafi's sake.

"I miss Mama" said Rafi, holding back tears, she hugged Kayla's waist that stood taller than her.

"Oh baby, Mama misses you too Rafi. Come on boys can't be whiny, Mama never forbid you to come here, so don't hesitate okay? You're a kid so don't get too put into your Mama and Dad's business, okay?" kayla said as she rubbed Rafi's cheek after they were satisfied hugging.

Rafi glanced at Adrian who was looking at her with a smile beside Dev at the moment.

"Now play with Adrian, Mama wants to talk to your dad, okay?"

Rafi nodded. Kayla smiles off the child to greet her son who immediately welcomes Rafi as usual.

Dev held Kayla's hand as he approached Gilang.

"I want to talk to her," Kayla said as she glanced at Dev's hand holding her arm at this moment.

"Can't!" refute Dev.

"Do I have to give you permission?"

Dev hush.

"Don't be silly Bang Dev, I just want to talk to Gilang anyway it's none of your business!"

"You hear that? Kayla doesn't need anyone's permission to talk to me!" cetus Gilang was sharp on Dev, the man stepped forward when he saw Dev holding the arm of his ex-wife-to-be.

Dev clucked, he wanted to answer but Kayla first mastered the situation.

"Stop! My house is not a place for quarrels. I want to talk to you Mas Gilang, just the two of you!" firmly Kayla.

Dev looked at Kayla in disbelief. "Does that mean I was expelled?" argue Dev does not accept.

"Understand Bang Dev, I want to talk to him. You can join Adrian and Rafi, right? Or you can go home, I'm not pushy" said Kayla slowly.

Dev breathed in deeply, knowing he could not twitch if Kayla had put on an annoyed face like this.

"Alright, I'll monitor you so don't fuck around!" said Dev who was upset half-dead on Gilang's face who looked at him with a paltry smile.

Dev nudged Gilang's shoulder as it passed, the man also couldn't fight back as he looked at Kayla's face that shook her head at this moment so that she wouldn't serve Dev.

"Are you going back to him?" sindir Gilang after Dev left.

"That's none of your business, let's talk on the patio chair!" refute Kayla while allowing Gilang to walk first.

Quite silent as they sat together there after what had happened between the two.

"Kayla," Lilang started the conversation.

"Our business is over, doesn't mean Rafi can't meet me. I've started forgetting everything, let's make peace. Don't forbid Rafi to meet me, I beg you not to do that to the children, they have nothing to do with the complexity of our affairs" Kayla said at the core.

Glazed, he thought Kayla was still angry with him.

"It's me who's afraid that if you don't want to see Rafi, it's really Kayla......" He paused for a moment while breathing.

"Rafi loves you sincerely, I'm sorry for everything. I realize I'm not the man you deserve" said Gilang, grabbing Kayla's hand.

Kayla smiled bitterly, her relationship with Gilang was quite long. He knew this man had never hurt him.

"I've been trying to figure out what's going on between us, and I'm better now! I'm sorry to your family, because it was me that you guys accepted the shame."

Long time they talk from heart to heart about what happened since breaking the relationship some time ago, it seems Gilang and Kayla have forgiven each other.

The scenery was cool since last they were in the heat of the chaos of the almost married relationship. Forgiveness is the best way of any problem. The two are relieved when they meet at this time let alone see Rafi and Adrian getting along like before.

"Mas Gilang."

"Yes!"

"Can you be honest with me?"

"Is it true, Rafi is the son of her brother Bang Dev?"

Glazed speechless, he glanced at Dev who was staring at him sharply from a distance. Apparently the man was monitoring Kayla and Gilang without turning back since. He tried to hold back the jealousy and annoyed with Gilang's face since then, but could not dwell if Kayla did not allow him to interfere in the conversation.

Gilang nodded slowly, Kayla knew there was regret in each nod.

"Does that mean Rafi's Adrian's cousin?"

Gilang nodded without making a sound, for some reason he could not argue if he had talked to Kayla.

Kayla took a deep breath, then exhaled violently. He did not expect Adrian to be friends with his own cousin all this time.

Kayla wanted to get out the harsh words of her taste, but he was oblivious when he saw the face of Gilang who began to want to be invited to make peace with the past.

"Can I ask you one thing?"

Gilang raised his face.

"What's that?"

"What do you feel at peace with me?"

"Lega, I'm really ashamed of you Kayla. I can't see my son grieving for missing you and Adrian."

Kayla smiles.

"Do that one more time, make peace with Bang Dev's family. Take Rafi to meet her real mother's family, you can't hide her mother Mas Gilang's family identity, Rafi will be disappointed if she finds out when she grows up, and you have to be fair to her, don't teach him to be a coward, you're enough!"

Gilang.

Not knowing what Kayla said until Gilang was stunned, he could not argue at all what the woman said. Gilang could only be silent to contemplate what he had done to his son all this time.

"I beg Mas Gilang, Rafi should know everything including her two sisters from your mistress who until now you are still hiding from your family, let's get better before it's too late. Regrets always come later."

Again, Gilang could only fall silent.

Kayla long enough to persuade, until in the end Gilang nodded as well. I don't know if he's getting weaker when he's dealing with Kayla now. He cannot argue for now.

Gilang grabbed Kayla's hand. "I'm sorry Kayla, I'm sorry I hurt you!" said Gilang inside.

Kayla smiled, "I'm glad to hear that Mas Gilang. I'm really happy to see you like this, you're still the nice guy I know."

Dev walked closer, he could not help but watch Gilang holding hands with the woman he craved.

"Take him off!" said Dev pulled Gilang's hand from Kayla.

"It's none of your business!" refute Cross upset.

"It's my business, Kayla will come back to me so don't you dare touch her one bit!" cetus Dev starts to get emotional while grabbing the collar of Gilang's shirt.

"Bang Dev, stop it!" Kayla breaks up and keeps the two away.

"What are you guys talking about? Why hold hands?" ask Dev annoyed.

Kayla wants to smile, the face is a jealous face that makes Kayla de javu in her college days where Dev displays an adorable red face when jealous of Zian first.

Dev's face that made him even more infatuated while still a substitute at that time.

"You see Kayla didn't answer you, I doubt she'll accept you back. Don't dream of Dev, Kayla isn't an easy woman to conquer. We're both here on a child's business, so there's no need to fight, right? What we're talking about is none of your business!" said Gilang smiling mockingly.

Dev provoked emotion again, he looked growled as Gilang underestimated him.

Kayla held her arm while shaking her head.

"I'm tired of fighting, embarrassed to see children. Please don't make my mood worse, or I'll kick you out of here!" firmly Kayla.

Dev could only exhale violently, again he could not wrinkle.
