Still Wishing He Back?
61. Heart Upheaval

What made him so rushed, he almost made a mistake. Darren seemed to be pursued by time, to look impatient and seem careless. His attitude also suddenly became different after leaving the hospital.

"We better eat first, because there is still time before the scheduled departure, at least we fill the stomach before going to the airport." Lucas told Darren after arriving at the hotel where they were staying.

"I don't have appetite anymore." Reply Darren who looks reluctant.

"Dude, don't be stubborn, we order a new meal first after that we check out from the hotel and leave for the airport." Lucas said.

"Whatever, but I still don't want to eat, there's eating alone." Darren replied indifferently.

"Jeez, this is a kid, so stubborn. That's how it feels, aren't you going home sooner? I'll be home, too, wonder." Lucas let out a sigh of incomprehension at Darren's attitude that continued to be stubborn.

"Why was your attitude like this? Is something bothering you? Tell me, don't you confuse me like this?" Said again who was surprised by the change in Darren's attitude.

"Here you go, wake me up when you're done eating. I'm gonna close my eyes for a second." Darren did not answer Lucas's question and preferred to lie on his bed.

"Obviously there's something with him." Lucas muttered as he saw Darren acting strangely today.

....

After Lucas left the room, Darren opened his eyes again. He seemed to be thinking about something with his expression that seemed to penetrate something because it was too serious and sharp.

"Haha..."

Suddenly there was something funny and made him laugh, but the laughter he did was not a laughter of happiness, but a laughter accompanied by putting on an expression was holding back sadness and feelings of disbelief. It was as if what he knew shook him so much, especially his heart and his feelings.

Darren who had previously laid his body on the bed, now chose to get up and then sat down. He again chuckled, and then let out a long sigh, as if comforting himself.

"If you're back, I'll have to see him soon. Before that, I have to meet Arsen first before I see him." Said later.

A moment later, Darren picks up his phone and tries to reach Arsen by phone. A lot of things he said to Arsen, who was also his personal assistant over the phone.

"Investigate that, when I get back, I want it on my desk." The words give instructions that then close the phone.

Time passed quickly, Darren and Lucas finally arrived at the airport to return to Jakarta. Still waiting for his schedule, Darren and Lucas chose to wait and sit on one of the benches.

....

In a different place, Airin was accompanying his son to play, although overwhelmed with curiosity about his son's problems, but because he did not want to burden the child, he could only observe the attitude of the child. Moreover, he was also waiting for Dava to come home from school, because he wanted to hear an explanation from Dava about Arka.

"May Arka really tell Dava." Please Airin.

In his eyes again the face of the child who was cool playing, he smiled happily when he saw it, but there was a look of sadness when looking at the face of the child.

"Arka." Call her.

"Yes, ma. What's up?" Arka stopped the game.

Seeing his son stop the game and answer as soon as he called, made Airin smile happily.

"Here, hug mom." He said as he spread his hands to Arka.

Arka greeted him with joy across Airin's arms and approached him immediately.

"Smart."

Airin immediately grabbed the child's body and then kissed the top of the child's head gently and affectionately.

"Arka dear to mama, right?"

"Yes, Arka dear and love same mama."

"Oh, huh? How big?"

"Wow, a lot of dong means." Airin smiled at the movements of her son.

"Yes, because Arka loves Mama." Said Arka who gave an expression full of affection to his mother.

Seeing that, made Airin re-hugged his son's body, but somehow his expression seemed to be holding back the sadness.

"Arka it's okay to just have a mama?" Still hugging her son's body, Airin tried to hold back her cries.

"Yes, it's okay, because Arka just wants mama." A small nod from Arka answered Airin's question, although the look on his face showed sadness.

"really? Mama's happy to hear it, because mama also only needs Arka in this world." Airin could no longer contain her tears, and eventually had to spill over her cheeks.

There's no way you're okay, you're also definitely looking for a father figure for you.

....

Like a close bond, what Airin was thinking, about his son who would one day need a father figure or look for his existence, is being experienced by Arka some days.

Arka who suddenly moody after school, feeling confused and sad because he could not go to the school event that must be accompanied by their respective fathers, considering himself who does not have a father. This is what makes him unable to tell Airin and choose to hold her, because Arka does not want to see her mother cry again.

His conversation with Dava before entering the school was the only one for him to tell about the problems that had plagued him these few days. At that time, Arka was so free to tell his anxiety to Dava, compared to when with Airin who actually chose to continue to silence

"Arka couldn't come to school because she didn't have a father."

"Well, what does that mean?" Dava who was quite surprised when he heard it, involuntarily cried out a little.

"That's a school event that should come with dad, but Arka doesn't have a father, so Arka can't come to the show." Arka with a sad face.

"That's it, but what's that show?" Ask Dava.

"Says a show for dad." Answer Arka.

"Huh!, oh, what do you mean father's day is that time, huh?" Dava is still somewhat confused by Arka's explanation.

"When was the show held? Maybe Dava can come there." Ask Dava again.

"No idea, he said in a moment."

"Hemm... That's when soon, huh? It's a little hard, too." Dava let out a sigh of difficulty looking at Arka's explanation.

"Ok, Dava will find out about this, and come to the Arka event."

"Om pretending to be Arka's father?"

"Yes, later we play a drama there, like in the movies that are usually watched by Dava, how? Nice, right?" Dava's words reassured Arka.

Arka who does not understand the meaning can only look at Dava.

"Let's talk again, ok. Now Arka goes to school first. But, this is still a secret!" Dava said while making a silent gesture with the index finger touching the lips.

"Secret, syut.." Arka helped make the gesture and made him who had been moody and sad, smile again.

"Well, now Arka goes to school first. Let's get an idea first, okay."

"OK." Arka complied and entered the school. And, the conversation of the two ended just like that.

Not only did Arka seem reluctant to tell this to Airin, as well as Dava who seemed hesitant to say his compassion to Airin later when he returned home.

"Ah, no, just think about it later, now mending me go to school first." That's how Dava finally left Arka's school after driving her into the school.
