Rain for Airin
43 Eps. Wounds are Getting Deep

"Hey, Aunt. Why did Auntie peek at Mother and Om Keano from behind this tree?"

Celia flinched with the voice of the little girl who was suddenly already beside her.

"Mother? About Keano?" muttered Celia, throwing a glance at the two people sitting in front of her and the little girl alternately.

What this boy called the mother ... Airin's?

"Celia?"

The deep voice shifted its attention to the source of the sound. The face full of questioning turned into shock. How not?

His hiding place has been discovered. The goal behind the tree is to spy on Keano.

A few hours ago ....

Celia just walked into the apartment after inserting a pin she had memorized out of her head.

"None ... Well, you know if I'm gonna take lunch." Celia immediately smiled as she saw Keano was already dressed neatly preparing to leave.

"I have business."

Celia's smile faded hearing that.

"Where?"

"It's none of your business." Keano passed by without even looking at Celia at all.

"No! I'm here, loh. How dicuekin? I'll pick you up for lunch. Noo!" shouted Celia who was unfortunately only considered the wind then by the man.

Keano doesn't want Celia to mess up her meeting with Airin. Because the tumben once the woman contacted him to invite him to meet. Although all that he did because of Zia's insistence.

But still, Keano was very enthusiastic about it. To the point that she did not expect Celia to follow him from behind. Until finally they arrived at a playground with a shallow lake located on the edge.

Seeing Keano prefers to meet Airin rather than accompany him, making Celia upset half to death. But again he felt astonished by Keano's interaction with Zia.

'Why is that boy always around Airin?' his inner. Celia's instincts smell suspicious.

So he hid behind a tree not far from them to observe and dig deeper information.

Celia's goal is to hear Arsen's name mentioned. He knows the owner of that name. Because he had several times passed him when he was in High School first.

......................

"Celia?"

Hearing his name called, his reconnaissance was automatically revealed. Instead of answering, he fell silent on the spot. Shocked at the estimate that was just thought.

Airin, who realized that Zia was near Celia, immediately approached her daughter. Keano who did not respond quickly followed behind Airin after the woman was several steps ahead.

"Zijah. Let's go home, honey," asked Airin to grab Zia's hand immediately, about to take her away from there.

"But, Bunda—"

"Mother? The girl called you Mother?" Celia turned to look at Airin while squinting her eyes. Ignoring Keano who was looking at him nyalang.

Airin did not respond.

"You're secretly following me, Cel?!" sela Keano noticed Airin's nervousness.

"Don't switch the conversation. Now explain who the boy really is?" It turned out that Celia was unaffected. He was still tight with his question.

No one opens their mouth. All speechless. But suddenly Zia interrupted. " Don't call the boy. My name is Zia, Aunt."

Old Celia exchanged glances observing Keano, Airin, and Zia. An idea flashed through his brain. It is obvious that Zia is similar to Keano. Starting from the eyes, nose, to the lips. Celia was like looking at a harmonious little family while looking at them.

"W-we have to go home" said Airin.

Realizing the situation was not favorable to him. He was afraid that Celia was aware of the reality and leaked everything this time— in front of Zia.

Just a few steps away from where she was standing earlier, she heard Celia's loud voice. "That boy named Zia is your son with Keano, isn't he?"

Airin longed to ignore him, but his former best friend kept pressing.

"Airin! Answer me! Don't be a coward."

Even Zia had now stopped her steps, looking at Airin with a questionable gaze. Then throw a glance towards the back where there are two humans fighting their mouths there.

"Celia, stop. It's none of your business. You have no right to force someone to answer your question." Keano blocks Celia's hand before she chases Airin.

"Don't defend that woman ja lang, No. I know you understand the situation. So you're the boy's father, aren't you?" challenge Celia.

"Z-Zia, come!" Airin forced Zia to follow in her footsteps Celia's voice made her more upset.

Zia remained unmoved. "Mother knows the aunt?"

Now those round eyes were staring at Airin waiting for a reply.

"Yes" whispered Airin.

"Get me talking, Cel! Ja lang yelled ja lang. Who the fuck are you? The baby you bear is not my son. Aye, right?" Keano couldn't accept hearing his ex-wife insult his past.

Airin, who overheard him, turned to look towards the two. Inner wonders. 'What does Keano mean? Celia's not pregnant with her child?'

"OKAY. We are both honest. That'd be better. How's it?" bargain Celia.

Airin pecked in place. I don't know what steps he's going to take. If that reality is opened right now, I don't know what's going on in the future. Of course it won't be the same anymore. It all started with a reunion he should have avoided.

But late. Everything that wasn't supposed to happen has gone so far. Want to turn back time backwards is not possible. Can only follow the flow of destiny that will somehow take him where.

"alright. Zia is my son and Airin. There is no need to prove it with a DNA test, because face-to-face it is clearly visible. Zia is very similar to me," Keano explained at length without thinking about the consequences of his words.

Two grown women and one little girl were struck by what they heard.

"So right, you're Zia's father?" asked Celia who deliberately raised her tone.

"Now it's your turn to be honest" Keano said, as if ignoring Airin's angry gaze.

"If I guess Zia's age is now about 5 to 6 years old .... " Cellia turned her head, making sure Airin heard what she was going to say. "That means Airin was pregnant before or even after we got married. So it can be ascertained if Zia is a child outside marriage, or rather an illegitimate child."

Airin is getting worse. His hands were firmly clenched. Even he tightened his hand on Zia. He is being played at the moment. Only made into profit material by both. Okay, it doesn't matter if you want to call Airin not a good woman, or what she doesn't care. But when it comes to Zia, Airin can't stay still.

But before he could take a step, Zia shook her hand. Airin looked at his daughter. He saw Zia's round eyes widening. " What's an illegitimate child, Mother?"

The voice was so soft but it sounded like a crushing blow that had just struck the soul. His chest was claustrophobic by regret. Similarly Keano who gasped to hear it, only realized that Zia was still around them.

"Is it true that Keano is Zia's father?" The clear eyes looked at the faces of the three adults around him in turn, waiting for an answer.

"Zia, I'll explain everything. After this Aunt's same Om business is done." Keano immediately took over the situation to make it less complicated.

It was as if Celia was moving away from there.

"Zia's my responsibility, so you don't have to interfere. Now it's your turn to be honest," insisted Keano, already impatient to face the cunning woman in front of him.

"okay-okay. I'll be honest. The child I'm carrying is your son, No. Don't you remember doing it with me?" Celia grinned triumphantly.

"Suck!" keano's circus, his frustration has reached the crown.Foolly he just realized already provoked emotions by a poisonous snake like Celia.
