"Mother .... "
"Yes, honey."
"Where's Zia's father? Why didn't you come home to see us? Do you hate us?"
Airin was startled, like being struck by lightning in a quiet Sunday afternoon, upon hearing a question from the innocence of Zia.
Although it has been often asked by his daughter, Airin still confused to find the right answer so that Zia does not ask the question in detail.
Moreover, looking at the clear eyes expectantly from Zia, making him unable to throw an answer that will only give false hope to his child.
"Dad is going to work. But don't worry, I'll be home someday soon."
Again, only that sentence could Airin say to Zia. Not once did Airin say anything bad to his daughter, hoping that Zia would be able to move on without any resentment growing in the heart of the father.
"really?" Zia was getting excited to hear that answer.
"Of course." Airin was forced to develop a smile to make it look convincing.
"Hopefully your work will be done quickly, and then go home soon. Zia misses dad," Zia replied.
"Mother also misses .... "
Airin recalled his dialogue with Zia at that time. Have put high hopes on people who do not deserve to be expected.
"Hiks ... "the stuff that he has withstood with all his might finally escaped from the vibrating lips.
Hearing the increasingly heart-wrenching sobs. The owner of the pair of eyes that had just noticed, now finally courageously grabbed Airin's body, then held him in a sorry embrace.
The masculine aroma that Airin had memorized began to seep into his slightly congested breathing.
Instead of being calm, Airin's cries were even more broken. Crying in the arms of a man who has inflicted too many wounds.
"M-sorry .... "
"I'm sorry .. "repeat Keano half whispering. It was as if his voice had almost disappeared due to restraining the sobbing that kept pressing.
Airin's body trembled violently at Keano's lips. Immerse your head in the chest of the field, like seeking tranquility.
Airin's common sense kept telling her to stay away, but her body seemed unwilling to obey. Still letting his body endure the pseudo warmth.
Keano's tears had already fallen on Airin's back. The two people who hugged each other on the edge of the lake at dusk, as if channeling their sadness.
"I'm sorry I doubted you. Can I meet my real son? I mean, our son?" keano pinta.
A request that can only be answered with a small nod by Airin. Actually he was upset with himself who was always unable to resist Keano.
By removing all the turmoil of the heart, Airin just resigned. Never imagined what the next life will be like. All he knew was that after this incident, things would never be the same as before.
...***...
After making sure Airin was completely calm, Keano drove him home. Of course after forcing the woman with all the debate that occurred.
The man was just driving the front gate. Because Airin hasn't allowed Keano to meet with Zia at this time. He needs time.
Time to set the heart, set the situation, and to explain everything to Zia with the right words. I don't know until when. Airin himself does not know.
Not to forget Keano handed over Zia's tiny bicycle, as well as Airin's purse.
"You pickpocketed me?" airin asked with a face full of probing looking at the wallet in Keano's hand, as well as the sinless face the man before her alternately.
"Actually, you've been picking at my heart since I first saw you, Airin," teased Keano.
Airin.
Maybe he seduced when his heart was not like this. It's a baper.
"I'm sorry again. Sorry for everything I've done so far. I'm not around when you need a shoulder to lean on" Keano said, looking down.
"Watery!"
The call of someone then disconnects the eye contact of the two people standing in front of the gate.
" ... I need you, "Airin continued, immediately grabbed the wallet from Keano's hand, then approached Rain who had just come out of his house.
I don't know what Airin thought, so I can say that. Keano felt increasingly guilty. Even he had seen the eyes of Tirin back in tears.
"Hi, Mas" said Airin who was in front of Rain, smiling sweetly.
"I'm pampering. Zia had just gone to sleep" Rain said, her tail accidentally pounding on Keano's monolid netra staring at her sharply.
"Thank you, Mum. Why rush? I just want to make coffee."
"Either. But there's no need. There's something else I need to do."
"Oh, so."
Rain's hand was raised to touch Airin's cheek, then rubbed slowly with his thumb. " Don't cry anymore."
Airin surprised. Rain's attitude has never changed. Anything in Airin never escaped his sight.
"Where did you come from, you know?"
"looks."
Rain smiled warmly, then passed. Leaving Airin still blushing in place.
Rain's eyes instantly changed as he looked at Keano who was watching his every move from behind the gate.
As their distance got closer, it was as if there were lightning sparks emerging from the look of their eyes. Looking at Rain from this close distance made Keano think of someone. Even the sneer from Rain's lips that he accidentally saw made him more nostalgic.
Keano only realized that despite having met several times. At the first meeting, he did not notice it at all, being blinded by the flames of jealousy.
"Wait!" exclaimed Keano, preventing Rain's increasingly distant steps.
Rain. But not a word came out of his lips.
"Have we met each other before?" ask Keano.
"It looks like you're wrong."
"No. Your face is no stranger. I'm sure I've met you in the past."
"Whatever it is, I don't care. But please remember one thing. Don't ever hurt Airin again, or you'll deal with me. And if you want to get close to him, then let's compete in a healthy way" Rain explained, before continuing.
Leaving behind Keano who was looking at his back fiercely.
"Did he just challenge me?" muttered Keano with clenched hands.
Coming home with a feeling of fear makes Keano unable to focus on the streets. Finally he decided to pull over for a while.
Hearing all the facts that Airin revealed today, made his heart as slashed. Very disappointed, because he missed many important things during this time.
Not to deny the fact that if he became Airin, he would also do the same. This time he admitted wrong.
"I'm sorry, I had a chance to doubt the whereabouts of our son. You're pregnant without a husband figure beside you. Who buys you something when you're cravings? Even worse, I missed the moment of our child's birth .... "
"What kind of father am I?"
Clear water that began to pool under the eyes, has now spilled back. Just this time Keano felt a strong desire to cry. The desire that if held back will make his heart more crowded and sick.
"Aghhhh!!"
Groaning full of regret, to make his voice become hoarse. Even his roar sounded heartbreaking in his own ears. Today Keano showed his weakness. To let himself look so pitiful.
