KAYLA, The Substitute

KAYLA, The Substitute
In reality


Dev stared fixedly at the child who was celebrating the victory with his team, photo ria with friends and teachers who were present.


He became unfocused since meeting the child, Andre's babbling was not he listened to anymore, his eyes only focused on seeing the motion of the boy's movements that really caught his attention at this time.


Until Dev was interested in following the steps of the boy who ran towards a group of parents present, he somehow became curious to make the child.


His steps stopped when he saw the child wearing a white jersey was hugging a middle-aged woman who was carrying him with a cheerful face.


They seem to be celebrating the victory. Dev sharpened his eyes, if only he had seen wrong.


"Mama Hana?"


"I don't think my eyes are myopic eyes!" dev muttered as if in disbelief.


The view that was less than 10 meters away made Dev stiff in place. He confirmed his heart that the true thing he saw now was the Mama of his ex-wife who lost track of his years.


Mama Hana's appearance is not much different, still beautiful and simple. Dev approaches, knowing once that is Mama Hana.


But just about to step in the midst of the frenetic frenzy of the noisy and noisy SD children, her legs stiffened again when the boy carrying Mama Hana suddenly came down and went to a woman who had just called him while shouting.


"Adrians!"


"Mama!!" adrian shouted so excited when he saw his new mother coming and approached them in a hurry.


Kayla greeted her son in excitement, they hugged him in a frenzy while shouting victory.


Unmistakably, Dev's heart seemed to have slipped out of its current place.


"Sorry, Mama is late to not see your game dear," Kayla said regretfully to her son.


"I think it's important that I can keep the promise of giving Mama a victory gift today" replied Adrian girang, the boy has not lost a smile since.


"Grandmother has recorded it, later your mother can watch it again at home" said Mama Hana who slowly approached.


"Wahhhh, this is Mama's most memorable birthday, Mama's naughty son managed to win, usually also lose," joked Kayla.


"Mama, I'm embarrassed!!" adrian shammy whine.


Kayla chuckled, "Mama was just kidding, now how is it? Can you kidnap you from this show? We've been waiting for the pretty aunts waiting for you to eat at the store!"


In fact, they are used to celebrating birthdays at the store by eating with employees of the Kayla cake shop.


Not yet said Adrian first he saw a figure of an adult man who approached them.


"Kayla Khanzaniah!!" exclaiming Dev without a stale base, now their distance is very close only a few meters.


Kayla who was facing Adrian was suddenly stiff when she heard his name called by the voice of a man who she thought would never meet again.


Devano, yes Kayla knew once that Dev's voice without having to look at her. The woman who divorced her shoulder-black hair was surprised not to play when she turned her head.


Long he was fixated, meeting each other's eyes with a man who had given him a handsome descendant of Adrian.


"Bang Dev?" kayla said as she gulped with great difficulty.


Adrian is confused, he looks at Dev and then looks at his mother again.


"Mama?" lirih Adrian cut off the view between the two.


Mama Hana saw it becoming more ambiguous, she did not expect Dev in front of them at this moment.


Mama Hana immediately pulled Adrian's body away from Kayla, I don't know what the ageless woman thought now that she did not think long to secure her grandson first.


"Kayla, is this really you?" as Dev approaches Kayla, he is not even shy about grabbing the face of his ex-wife, staring fixedly at the face and beads he has been looking for all this time.


Kayla immediately moved away.


"Bang Dev don't be like this!" kayla said with a chest that rumbled by a great tremor between being surprised and not believing that the man was really real even touched her cheek a moment ago.


Adrian was just confused and stuck like his grandmother.


Dev turned to the figure of flesh blood that he had not known all this time, then turned to look at Kayla who was starting to shake.


"Kayla, who's this kid?" tanya Dev started to get serious.


Kayla fell silent, she turned her son with teary eyes.


"Kayla, answer me!"


Kayla has not answered anything.


"Bang Dev, nice to meet you! How are you?" kayla said, diverting the conversation.


"I asked who the kid was? Why does he look like me?"


Kayla returned Dev's gaze which began to turn red.


"Kayla answer me!" insist Dev.


Kayla felt her tongue twitch to answer, in addition to the tears that began to come down from her beautiful bead.


Kayla was silent. Mama Hana was already crying, Adrian who was confused could only hug the grandmother while wailing, "Is he my real Papa? His face is similar to my Papa's photo"


Hearing the question made Mama Hana align her body hugging Adrian, she was confused to answer what because she and Kayla did not cover who Adrian's real father had been, even Adrian is told what Dev's face looks like through the photos.


But what they tell me all along is that the Papa will not come back again because it is abroad to make Adrian understand that he can not meet his original Papa until he also considers Gilang the father figure he needed.


Until he grows up now, nor does he demand to know the whereabouts of his Papa after parting with the Mama, Adrian knows if he offends it his mother will certainly be sad.


So from him he never wanted to mention his biological Papa who did not return home. And he buried hope to meet.


But this time the boy recognized Dev, he had memorized his father's face even though only through photos.


"grandmother?" adrian as if he wanted a definite answer.


Mama Hana looked at her curious grandson's face.


"Give your mom a chance to talk first okay?"


Adrian looked at Kayla and Dev once more, then he nodded.


"Kaila? I saw myself in that child, answered Kayla," Dev said.


"He, he's my son!!" kayla answered.


Taking a deep breath Kayla raised her face staring at Dev again.


"His name is Adrian, I was pregnant when we parted," Kayla said, followed by a clear grain that flowed beautifully on her smooth cheek.


Hearing that Dev was like losing his footing. His body felt weak, then he turned to the child who was still at home standing next to the grandmother with a strange look at him.


The man looked at Kayla with annoyance, he looked up like he was holding something that wanted to come out of his eyes.


Dev clucked for a moment and walked up to Adrian and aligned himself with the son who was not afraid of the meeting.


"You know who I am?" asked Dev at a very close distance.


"Are you my father named Devano Putra Sanjaya?" Adrian asked back.


Dev clucked again, he glanced at his ex-wife again and then back at Adrian's face which did not avoid him at all.


Kayla could only stare at them with tears. He did not expect that this meeting would happen in the end.


"That means you are Adrian Son of Sanjaya!" sahut Dev is upset himself.


"Why I've just come home now, I only know you in photos!" adrian plain said.


"Mk..... What did your mother say?"


"I have a real Papa who is abroad, isn't abroad far away?"


"All right, just think of it that way. Can we hug?" asked Dev who could not hold back his tears anymore.


He spread his hand waiting for Adrian to respond.


Adrian turned to his mother as if asking, Kayla closed her eyes while nodding in response.


After that, Adrian entered Dev's arms with his innocent attitude. The frenetic and noisy crowd where they currently could not muffle Dev's cry even more cry and he cried a hiccup while hugging his son tightly.


As well as Kayla and Mama Hana, they couldn't stem the crying of seeing Dev and Adrian cuddling without coercion.


Dev carried his son with an indescribable feeling at the moment, he walked towards Kayla.


"I think there's a lot you have to explain to me about my son you've been hiding all along, I want to hear about Kayla!"


"I've never covered up who Bang Dev's father is, I'm sorry!" kayla said slowly.


"I think we need a special place, come with me!"


Dev pulls Kayla's hand and takes her to follow the man's path. Seeing that Mama Hana can only massage the chest while following where her child and granddaughter are taken by Dev.


"Bang Dev let me go! Where are we going?"


Kayla tries to escape Dev's hand. But Dev did not budge, he kept walking and clasped Kayla's hand firmly while holding Adrian who was still watching his father's face carefully.


"Why see me like that?" tanya Dev glanced at Adrian.


"I just found out that your real face is more handsome than a photo, but I didn't expect Papa to be so good at crying."


"Yes, I just realized it today!" answer Dev in tears again.


"No offense, I won't tell anyone, don't cry anymore! Shame we are men" replied Adrian hugging Dev with his adorable demeanor.


"You really are my son!"


Dev kisses Adrian's cheek with haru feeling.
