"Eh, Mum. Wait!"
A woman approached Keano with a run in shock. Seemed a tired look implied from his face that swept thin make up.
Keano looked at the woman.
"The bill, Mas." The woman thrust a piece of paper at Keano.
"God! I may forget," he complained, patting his own eel.
He took a piece of money out of his pants pocket and gave it to the woman. Without saying any more words, Keano immediately disappeared from there. Chasing Rain who had already gone home.
"Damn!" erang Keano's. Hit hard on the roof of the car, channeling resentment, because Rain avoided it.
"Just wait. You can't run away from me" he stared at the road ahead where several vehicles passed at normal speed.
...----------------...
"None .... " That deafening sound made Keano's nap interrupted.
Damnit. Giving Celia an apartment pin was a bad idea, he thought.
"Lunch, yuk?" Celia sat on the bed beside Keano.
"I'm sleepy."
"Come, No. It's demi—"
"For whom?! My kid? Or someone else's child? Huh?" keano. Can't hold back the emotion anymore.
I'm tired of the woman's reasoning. For the sake of his son. Let's not be that. Want to be called an irresponsible father even he does not care. All we want now is certainty.
"Evil!" whine Celia. The net is already glazed.
Since the incident at the hospital the other day, Celia's survival seems threatened. The man who became his only hope now doubted his confession.It is impossible that the baby he conceived would be born without a father. Even impossible if he finds the biological father of the fetus.
Celia will also not be able to accept if the baby's biological father is a delinquent. As he recalled, before being completely drunk, the group of men who approached him looked like thugs.
Celia was already roaring loudly to gain Keano's sympathy. Instead of feeling pity, the man grew even more irritated. She thought Celia was full of theatrics.
If someone already knows if he is being lied to, will he still believe in people who have lied to him? There is certainly suspicion even if only a speck. As self-protection from the pain of being betrayed for the umpteenth time.
That's what Keano feels now. No doubt Airin did that to Keano.
'Dangerous. All this time I always thought that I was the one who kept getting hurt. Airin was the one who was hurt the most. I have to meet him.' Keano's determination in mind.
The man got out of bed leaving Celia who was crying, covering her face with a palm.
"Cry as much as you can" said Keano. Wish Celia hadn't heard of his disappearance.
Keano darted out quickly, using an evasive stance from reality. Ride his favorite Ferrari with the direction of the destination to the house of Airin. At least Keano can still use Zia as a bridge to Airin's heart again.
It sounded sneaky, but at least he could keep the woman away from the man named Rain.
"I'm sure the mafia boy planned something bad for Airin. His father escaped from prison easily. Their family is slippery eel," muttered Keano growled. His hands crumpled the steering wheel of the car firmly.
"I'll expose your family's rot. Just look," he determined while stepping on the accelerator pedal to accelerate the speed of his iron horse.
Keano can see Zia who is playing bicycles around Rain's yard, there is also a young girl watching Zia up close.
Keano's forehead is wrinkled deep. Rain is the only child of the Arsenio family. Then who's the girl?
The man preferred to stop his Ferrari in front of Airin's house. Making the two girls of different ages turn their eyes towards him.
"Of Keano!" pekik Zia, immediately jumped down from her mini bike, then ran closer to Keano who just got down from the car with both hands busy carrying some paperbags.
"Zia, wait!" Nisa who did not know Keano immediately followed Zia from behind. Afraid that the man is the bad guy who wants to kidnap Zia.
Srett!
Nisa pulled Zia's hand before the tiny fingers reached Keano who had already stretched out both hands, ready to welcome Zia in a hug.
"Why, Brother? Om Keano is good, really," Zia protested, moving her tiny hand that was gripped by Nisa.
"really. Om has no evil intentions. Nih, Om even bring souvenirs." Keano showed me some paperbags on his right and left hand.
"Who is this?" search Nisa.
"Om this—"
"Friends mother," continued Zia suddenly.
"Yes, Zia's old friend. And who are you?" Keano leaned towards Nisa.
"I'm Nisa. Brother Rain."
"Let's go in, Om."
Keano slightly flinched, as Zia's tiny hand was already tugging at her stocky arm to enter Rain's courtyard.
"Wow, wait, Zia! Looks like we're going the wrong way. Om intends to visit Zia's mother's house. Not to that house," Keano refused, pointing at Rain's house with her chin.
"But Zia used to play at Rain's house if you haven't come home yet." Zia looked at Keano with her plain clear round eyes.
Akhs! Where can I refuse it. Never mind.
Keano also resigned. Following the two girls entered the two-story house.
They were in the living room. Keano landed his ass on one of the sofas. Put some defaults that trouble him on the table. Zia immediately followed sitting next to Keano, while Nisa pamit headed into the house.
"Om bring Zia's favorite food. Make Mother Zia there too." Keano takes food out of one of the paperbags.
"Yeay, cool. Spaghetti bolognese." Zia's clear netra is increasingly sparkling to see food in plain sight.
Shortly Nisa comes while carrying a tray containing a glass of drink.
"Please, Om," he said as he put a glass on the table.
"thank you. Smart kid." Keano let out a deathly smile. Instantly Nisa's cheeks blush made.
A little tickled at the response of Nisa, Keano suddenly remembered Airin when he was in school. Every time he smiled, it was certain that the two cheeks of Airin would meet red. Although Airin tried to hide his face with his head down, still the pink hue would appear in contrast to his white cheeks.
"Om Keano why smile for yourself?" ask Zia. Success made Keano flinch, then stare at the little girl.
Meeting Zia after remembering the past made her feelings begin to surround her heart. I can't believe he's a father now. Every time he saw Zia, his determination to melt Airin's heart continued to stir within.
"Who? Om, why?" panicking Nisa, watching a drop of clear water glisten on Keano's cheek.
"So a smile, now a cry. Om Keano is sick?" Zia reflex wiped those tears with her tiny fingers.
Which father's heart is not filled to see his son who is considerate like this. It looks simple, but it is quite deep in the heart.
...----------------...
The moon has already appeared, replacing the sun's duty in the sky there. It did not feel late at night, but there was no sign of Airin's return.
Keano was already in Zia's room. She asked Nisa for the key to Airin's door. It was fortunate that the girl had already believed that Keano was not a threat to Zia. The power of his deathly smile was indeed beyond doubt. Unfortunately, Airin no longer works with that style.
For the first time Keano had the opportunity to put the princess who had not known.There was a sense of haru, sad, happy, mixed into one.
"I love you, Daddy's darling."
Cup.
After muttering a fond sentence, Keano landed a kiss on Zia's forehead. However, when he turned around intending to leave the room, his heart almost jumped out of his position.
His monolid eyes immediately collided with Airin's sharp gaze. Rain was also beside the woman.
'Since when were they there?' inner Keano in her shocked mode.
"Hai—"
"Please out!" Airin spoke before Keano finished his sentence. Then leave the room just like that.
Keano, who was aware that Airin was angry, immediately rushed out of the room. When they passed Rain, their eyes briefly clashed.
"I'll unravel your rot right now" challenge Keano, before returning to pursue Airin.
He immediately approached Airin who was now opening the front door. Help widen his way out of that house.
"There's something I want to talk about" Keano said with a serious look.
"Go home, Ke." Airin did not flinch.
"But—"
"There's nothing we need to talk about."
"It's important."
"Please, To. Don't disturb my life anymore. Go back to Celia, and be happy."
"You heard what Airin said, didn't you?" Rain suddenly came from behind Keano's back.
Before Keano turned around, Rain had already pushed her body first, guiding her to the outside of the house.
"Airin! Just so you know. Rain was involved with the man behind the accident that befell your parents."
