Gamal's food order just arrived. Everyone enjoyed this meal.
Zara sat next to Gamal. Both of them pay attention to Zafran who is busy eating with his friends.
"I'm confused how to explain everything the same Zafran," Zara added. There was a worry lodged in his head.
"Maybe it should be done slowly. Zafran certainly will not immediately understand. He's a kid," Gamal responded.
"I knew. But I'm afraid he's asking about Anton. During this time Zafran always regarded Anton as his own father.." Zara's forehead frowned faintly. His anxiety subsided as Gamal clenched his fingers.
"We can get through all this together." Gamal tries to convince Zara. He managed to make the girl develop a smile.
Gamal took the phone out of his pants pocket. He contacted one of his employees who took care of the property business. Gamal asked to find a big house. The place that would be used as the residence of Wida and the children of the orphanage.
"Prepare everything as quickly as possible! Especially facilities for sleeping, eating, and kitchen items!" tell Gamal to speak to his subordinates by phone.
"All right, Master!" the man across the phone couldn't argue. He'll carry out Gamal's orders as soon as possible.
Gamal immediately ended the phone call. He successfully caught Zara staring with a sharp glare.
"Why? I'm a real good-looking guy, aren't I?" gamal.
Zara twists the lazy eyeball. "It's a shame, if you hear that you're so smart," he replied. He chuckled with Gamal.
"Oh yes. Are you the same Zafran will stay here?" Gamal.
"Eitherway. But I'm sure sooner or later Anton will definitely meet us here."
"If so, for a while you and Zafran lived in my place. Also, let's tell Zafran slowly about facts he doesn't know" Gamal said.
"Dead together? It seems like danger..." Zara was unsure.
Seeing Zara's response, Gamal couldn't pull over. Too much risk if they stay together. Especially without a legitimate bond.
Gamal thought hard, until something came to his mind. He decides to buy an apartment for Zara and Zafran. Gamal deliberately chose an apartment that was not far from his residence. That way, he could meet them more often.
After spending a lot of time in the orphanage, Gamal came home. He invited Zara and Zafran to come along.
"You don't live in a house, do you?" timpal Wida's. Seriously look at Gamal and Zara in turn.
"Well, Bi. We-"
"I just ordered an apartment for Zara and Zafran. They'll stay there. Aunty don't worry, we won't be desperate to stay together without a clear bond." Gamal accidentally cuts off Zara's speech. Though the apartment he bought for Zara and Zafran is not fully ready.
"really?" Zara widened her eyelids. He was a little amazed to know Gamal could book a place to stay that fast.
"Good then. You guys be careful." Wida allowed with pleasure. He also did not forget to advise Gamal and Zara not to overdo it. "You should know the limits. Remember Zafran! He was a little boy" he gave advice.
Gamal and Zara just nodded weakly. Smile, then drive away.
"Is the apartment really bought?" ask Zara. To be honest, he still doubts. As someone who has known for a long time, Zara certainly knows what Gamal is like. Especially when you lie.
"Yet. You guys stay at my place for a while." Gamal answered with a big smile.
Zara hit Gamal's head spontaneously. He did not think, why the man was still strong enough to invite him to stay together.
"Don't be crazy, Mal! I told you, if-"
"One night only? Yea?" please Gamal softly. He paused once again.
"Where are we going?" Zafran suddenly raised his voice. He looked at the two people in the front seat. Zafran was sitting alone in the back seat. In the bandage seat belt that had been paired with Gamal.
"We-we"
"We're going to Om's house again." For the third time, Gamal cut off Zara's words.
"To that fancy house of Om again? How wanting! Want to!" unexpectedly Zafran was excited. "Means I got another toy, right?" hopefully, high expectations. As a child, he had already imagined many toys in his head.
"Zafran. Yesterday's been all broken on you," said Zara. He is not the type of parent who pamper children.
"You go, baby. Let alone. We'll stop by the toy store for a while." Just like Zafran, Gamal also felt happy.
Hearing Gamal's words, Zafran's countenance instantly changed. He stared at Gamal.
"Darling? How do you call my Mother, dear? My father never called Mother that," said Zafran innocently. At the age of seven, he must have understood the meaning of the word dear.
Gamal and Zara hit the waves. The two exchanged sharp looks. Confused what to answer. Really, telling the truth to a child like Zafran is very difficult.
From behind, Zafran was still busy looking at Gamal. Waiting for the answer of the man she knew only as her mother's friend.
"Li-look! There's a toy store!" Gamal changed the subject. The existence of a toy store, successfully saved him from the question Zafran.
"Yeahayyy!!!" zafran's attention was immediately diverted. He automatically forgot his question.
The car stopped immediately. Zafran was left running into the toy store. That's when Gamal and Zara spoke with four eyes.
"I told you. Difficult right? How do we talk about Zafran trying?" Zara took a long breath.
"You didn't tell Zafran from the beginning. You should have told me Anton wasn't the boss" Gamal replied.
"What's? You're fucking me?" zara Response.
"It's not. I just give you an opinion." Gamal. He didn't mean to provoke Zara's anger.
"Just like a time! I never thought I would be able to reverse the same you know?! That's why I can never tell you the truth about Zafran! He is still a kid. I'm..." Zara fell silent as Gamal put his index finger to her lips.
"Udah. I'm sorry if that's it. We focus the same now, yes" said Gamal. He stroked Zara's shoulder slowly. His efforts calmed the woman.
After buying a toy, Gamal, Zara, and Zafran go to the apartment. Zara actually refused to spend the night there even one night. But because Gamal kept pleading, he could not resist. The man had already given him a lot of help.
Zafran bought a cardboard toy by Gamal. He was invited by Zara to play in the room. Gamal was busy taking care of something in the living room.
Gamal's phone suddenly rang. He got a call from Selia. Gamal initially ignored the call. But due to the ringing of the phone that continues to ring, Gamal is forced to pick up the call Selia.
Gamal's forehead shriveled, when he heard Selia's cry. Just this time she heard the girl crying hysterically.
