Still Wishing He Back?
39. Pazzle Arrangement
"Now I remember, that little boy we saw back in the supermarket. He's the kid that caught my eye, remember him?" Lucas recalled his meeting with the little boy he saw this morning.
"Not remembering, so get out there." Darren doesn't want to hear any nonsense from Lucas. He then made a gesture of expelling it to Lucas who was still in his room.
"Eh, wait a minute. Remember that little boy we saw at the supermarket, right? Doesn't he look like you?" Lucas remained cool with his eyes despite being pushed out by Darren, who wanted him out of the room.
Besides, hearing Lucas' words, Darren's body suddenly froze with a stunned expression.
"What do you mean, similar to me?" Darren stared at Lucas.
"Lu didn't see him just now?, if you saw the boy, you must have felt that you guys had a resemblance, especially if you wanted to take the same picture of your childhood." Lucas said he felt sure.
Hearing that, Darren became silent. He came to mind with the words of Lucas, but when he tried to rethink it, he smiled silly. Remembering Lucas' words makes no sense.
"I'm going to sleep, so stop talking nonsense." Darren closed the door as soon as he finished taking Lucas out of his room.
"Basic, the guy I told you this was real." Lucas protest was kicked out of his room by Darren.
Still standing in front of Darren's room, Lucas tries to recall his encounter with the boy he met at the supermarket this morning.
"Gue sure as much as the face of the little boy I saw earlier." Lucas was still trying to remember the face of the boy he saw. Because somehow so familiar and impressed similar to Darren as a child.
"Ah, jeez, just go to sleep." However, after arguing with his own mind, he instead chose to give up and ended up leaving Darren's room.
...
The boy Lucas saw at the supermarket was Arka. At that time, Lucas saw him together with Airin. However, Lucas is surprisingly more interested in Arka than Airin, who is the woman he met first with Darren at Silvia's wedding a few days ago. Unlike Darren who is more concerned with Airin, Lucas actually thinks otherwise when he sees Arka, to put his attention on the boy he just saw earlier. His familiarity when he saw Arka, made him think, to pay more attention to a small child who has the same stature as his acquaintances.
Now, both Lucas and Darren, have had a keen interest in different things for different reasons. Darren is annoyed by the expression Airin is pointing at him, and Lucas is drawn to the boy's face that feels familiar to him.
"Either why their faces look alike." In the middle of silence and his position lying down, Lucas was still thinking about the child he saw earlier.
"Did? They don't have blood ties, do they?" He said again, who felt the two had a resemblance.
Lucas suddenly woke up from his sleep after saying that, and immediately looked towards Darren's closed room with a slightly surprised expression.
"Eeiiyy, it can't be you." He denied it later and laid his body back down, feeling it was impossible. He closed his eyes as soon as he finished ending his sense of urgency.
...
Photos that are old, but the picture can still be seen clearly, because it is stored properly. In the photo there is a boy who looks 5 years old and is sitting with his mother. Both of them put on a cheerful face when facing the camera. The expressions of the two look happy when looking at the camera, and show a sweet relationship between mother and child.
The view of Lucas who had just seen Darren's childhood photo somehow made him remember the thing he had forgotten, because Darren's childhood photo looks to have a resemblance to Arka, a little boy who he had seen for the first time. From the hairstyle that looks the same, the shape of the face that looks similar and chubi cheeks that both have a small time adds its own confidence to himself who sees it directly. Although the truth is still vague, but because the photo belongs to Darren, Lucas keeps his mind and assume themselves if indeed the two are similar to each other.
Although when he saw the figure of Arka he saw first, it made him feel wondering and a little fixated, considering his face that felt familiar to him. Because he was still not sure and remembered it, making Lucas immediately forget it. But once he saw Darren's childhood photo that he accidentally saw in his room, he made it so that he recalled the figure of a child he accidentally saw this morning.
Because seeing that, he unconsciously made Lucas think the two had a blood bond. Although he immediately denied it, but the sensitivity of Lucas when he saw it was so unexpected, considering Darren himself could not feel the same feeling as what Lucas felt now.
The Darren in question seems to have been thought of by Lucas' babble. In his room at this time, he was also still awake and rethinking the words of Lucas who said there was a boy who looked similar to him.
"Similarly said?" Darren smiled in disbelief as he imagined what Lucas was saying.
"Little boy, huh?" His mind became distracted with the woman who was with the little boy. The memory of Airin again appeared in his mind.
"Is that his son?" His speech leads to Airin, a woman who has been disturbing her feelings since her meeting with Laura this morning.
"His expression was quite disturbing to me, even until now I still remember very well how he looked at me earlier."
Darren, who had been lying in his bed, suddenly woke up and tried to pick something up. His cell phone was the thing he was aiming for. Once he got his phone, he tried to contact someone with a pretty serious expression.
"Maybe by this I'll know who he really is." He said he finally put his cellphone back on the table after a long conversation with someone through his phone connection. Walk back towards his bed, and lay immediately his body on it.
