After Divorce Season 2 Chapter 4: The Suffering of a Perpetrator Child

“Although the blessing of parents is important, but if their way of thinking alone cannot set a true example, we can determine our path without them.”

Chapter 4: The Suffering of the Son of the Actor

Using the towel she picked up, Rara dried Kimo's head sitting on her old chair to observe her laptop screen.

“Web your novels are cool. Who designed this?” praise Kimo without distracting him from the laptop screen. Even he deliberately looked over the features there.

“Yes me and Keinya,” reply Rara is still seriously drying Kimo's head.

Kimo smiled then turned his head and looked at Rara in disbelief. “You can design web?” It was hard for her to believe that Rara could design a web that required no-tick brains. To him, that typical Rara could only think of light things without any significant difficulty.

“Indeed, if I'm smart and versatile? After all, Gio was the best IT graduate after Athan, and I learned a lot from him. One more thing, a writer also needs a lot of research. And through that research, I also became a lot of learning.”

“Gio ..” Kimo nodded while blasting his lips. “Your ex is just Gio?”

Kimo's question made Rara frown in wonder. “Why?”

“Y-yes, I want to know!” reply Kimo gelagapan.

“No need to discuss the past especially the former with a partner, if the edges become a matter of debate.” Rara is indifferent and starts to dry the shirt on Kimo's back.

Kimo sighed while turning his gaze away from Rara. Jealousy can not be avoided just because Rara discusses other men, let alone men from the past like Gio even Athan.

“Wait a minute, I make warm tea first,” said Rara while attaching a towel on her shoulder as it passed.

Kimo let go of Rara with a sorrowful look. With his current state, he was actually afraid of not being able to be happy let alone glorify Rara. After so many wounds that women must feel, even from the closest people who should give the tree of happiness, it feels very unfair if his presence also can not give a better life. Even if he tried to go against the will of his parents, would Rara be okay? Will his efforts and love guarantee happiness for Rara?

Until Rara came back with the two cups of tea she brought with her tray, Kimo was still pensive. Even when Rara also slipped to sit next to him just after putting two cups of tea that still reflected smoke in front of them.

Without looking at Rara, with her face still down, Kimo clutched Rara's body. “Are you sure I can make you happy?” tanyanya.

“Why are you asking like that?” Rara who was originally smiling happily, became speechless and gradually lowered her head. Sadness suddenly greeted him.

“Sorry, yes. Maybe in the future there will be many difficult things that bother you.” Kimo said that with a heart that began to hurt, while Rara did not dare to comment.

Kimo gulped among the grief that began to strike. “I'm not the old Kimo who can give you luxury. Of course our lives will be very far from the lives of Keinya and Yuan.”

“....”

“Although I am also not sure, whether I can make you happy let alone give you a better life, but I will keep trying!” kimo firmly then after a moment of silence along with the warm grains that glowed from his eyes.

Kimo further tightened his grip where shortly after, one hand of Rara felt and supported Kimo's face.

“I do not need something perfect both treasure and physical, because in this world nothing is perfect without us alone who strive for it. But if you will always try, it makes me feel very lucky, let alone the reason I lasted until this second, because of you and loved by you!”

Kimo frowned, smiling in the midst of his tears.

“After this, we do not need to discuss things that only make us sad. After all, we also already know each other's circumstances, right?” rara said that actually also felt very sad.

Kimo did not comment.

“Oh, yes. Last afternoon your papa came here.”

Rara's story, making Kimo's decapitation stretch.

“When I called you, it was actually requested your papa.”

“Papa did not discuss strange things let alone hurt you, right?” sergeant Kimo.

Rara shook her head, then tried to face Kimo and wiped away the man's tears. “Ngak, anyway. Papa just asked us to be more patient. And the plan is, tomorrow night we'll have dinner together.”

“Ndon't need. Better not to think about them,” reply Kimo sewot.

“No can be so ...”

“This morning, I also met your mother,” sergeant Kimo cut off Rara's explanation and immediately made the woman was silent.

Kimo found many wounds that suddenly rested on Rara's face.

Rara bowed sadly without being able to comment back.

“We are born of selfish people. And in the future, do not let our children also feel it,” stressed Kimo.

If Kimo has spoken like that, Rara believes Kimo's meeting with Piera also does not produce good things. Or maybe, Piera just did the thing that made Kimo furious? So, is closing the relationship with parents for the sake of the dream marriage they crave, still justified? Rara felt very wrong. Why is there always a gulf in every happiness? At least, if he is not the expected son-in-law, Kimo's parents should not throw Kimo away. Enough with him, and he will prove that he deserves to be Kimo's partner.

“Although the blessing of parents is important, but if their way of thinking alone cannot set a true example, we can determine our path without them.” Kimo was completely with his decision. “Lusa,”

When the day after tomorrow was mentioned, all Rara remembered was about the wedding as Franki asked this afternoon. And when their gazes met, Kimo looked at her with confidence. So much love even passion emanated from the man's eyes.

“We got married ...”

Happy and hurt Rara felt at the same time. Happy because Kimo remains sincere and endures with him. But he also felt very hurt, because with Kimo choosing him, the man lost everything even his parents. The fact also makes Rara feel like a very selfish person.

“I'm still normal and I'm not sure I can hold it any longer!” kimo sounded grumbling.

Rara kept Kimo's face away from hers when the man almost kissed her. Where shortly after, his phone that was next to the laptop rang and it was a call coming in from Keinya.

Rara did not heed Kimo's complaint, because Keinya's phone call immediately made her very happy. This also made him immediately answer the phone without a second thought.

“Kei, how? You guys have arrived? Rainbow how?”

When Rara was so enthusiastic, Kimo chose to sip her tea then confirmed the notice on her phone. Email and WhatsApp became the apps he checked. Unfortunately there was no meaningful notification and he immediately left his phone next to Rara's laptop. Where, the laptop is also the focus of attention later.

“You're fine, right?” answer Keinya from across the street who asked back when he had not answered Rara's question.

Rara was confused.

“Yuan wants to talk to Kimo,” Keinya continued.

“Yuan, want to talk to, Kimo?” Rara repeated Keinya's words while looking at Kimo unconvinced and was immediately greeted with the same thing by Kimo who immediately looked at him while frowning.

“Ra,” connect from across there and that's Rara recognize as the voice of Yuan.

“Iya, Yu. What's up?”

“Me and Keinya have already talked about it with our parents. They will always be with you because they are also your parents.”

From across, Yuan said very seriously. The words that instantly managed to make Rara's heart beat. Even so, tears just slid from both eyes. Again, happy and hurt again he felt at the same time. Yuan and Keinya, those two people were indeed very sincere to him.

As Rara sobs, Kimo gets up from his seat and takes over Rara's phone. “What's up, Yu?” Anxiety Kimo can't avoid. While waiting for a reply from across the street, he clasped one hand tightly Rara.

“There is such a serious problem, you didn't tell me?” yuan said from across there.

Hearing that, Kimo could immediately understand Yuan's intent. He looked at Rara but the woman immediately shook her head.

“I never told you about personal problems especially our relationship,” lirih Rara assured. He sees the anger and even the disappointment of Kimo's expression that he believes he does not like if the problem is solved even if it is Yuan, his best friend.

“I will often spend time with Yura. You're okay, right?” Kimo looked at Rara guiltily. The woman was stepping towards him while carrying a plate of fried rice decorated with cucumber pieces and two eggs ceplok, while moving it from the pan.

“You're comfortable, aren't you? After all you have asked that 4 times.” Rara sat next to Kimo shortly after serving her breakfast.

Kimo sighed and ended with a sigh. “If you obey the will anyway, very lazy near Yura. I will be his subordinate, a team with him and in other words, I cannot avoid him. But in any case, finding a job is very difficult.” Not to mention my data has also been banned. It's hard for me to get a decent job except to be Yura's man. After all, what does Yuan mean to put me in a team even as Yura's subordinate if he really wants to help me?

Rara looked at Kimo. “Well, that's my answer to you.”

Kimo. “You mean?”

“Searching for work is very difficult. After all, why should you worry about me having nothing to do with your work? As for who your co-workers are as well as jealousy, you know better the answer, right? Take good care of yourself. That's it!” Rara looked at Kimo full of warning.

Kimo sighed. “Iya. For the sake of the future, we must fight.”

Rara nodded. “I will also be back busy taking care of script order.”

“Don't all jobs taken! You will be exhausted again!”

Rara just smiled. Shortly after Kimo went to the office, someone pressed the bell of his apartment and he was believed to be Kimo who wanted to surprise him. Unfortunately, it turned out that he was wrong. Because even though the figure that came did indeed immediately make him surprised, but it was Kiara who immediately greeted him with a cruel look following a hot slap. Rara's body was blown away, where the young woman also reflexively held onto Kiara's slap using both hands.

“Even you deliberately invited her to stay together!” pekik Kiara growled.

Rara remained bowed while holding onto the slap marks that still left the heat following excruciating pain without exception in her heart.

“If you really love Kimo, you shouldn't be doing all this! You even just gave bad effects to Kimo! Previously Kimo never denied let alone to get away from home! Previously Kimo was a submissive child and loved his family very much!”

“You are absolutely no different from your mother!” Kiara stared at Rara's disdain while spitting.

Rara gradually lowered her hands from Kiara's slapped cheeks with tears streaming down, as a sense of tightness filled her chest. He kept both his hands in front of his body.

“Regarding my mother .. please do not call her my mother because she also does not want to admit me...”

Kiara still stared at Rara's disdain with such a burning hatred.

Rara looked at Kiara earnestly. “I'm really sorry for having to be born from a woman like her. But please, just give me a chance once. I really love Kimo.” For Kimo's sake I was willing to ignore my pride, pleading while persisting even though it was the kick I got in return.

Yura who just happened to come out of the apartment was horrified at the sight before her. Rara, who was crying, was kicked by Kiara! He really can't believe it.

Rara did not give up. He looked up at Kiara. “If Aunt were me, what would Auntie do? I also never expected to be born or have a mother who was an actor, a mistress, or anything else that harmed others. Especially during this time, all I knew was that my mother was dead. Since I was nine, I was taken care of by my late father and his new wife ...”.

Unable to bear what was happening before her, Yura rushed over and helped Rara to get up. “Gosh. Why is aunt Kiara this hard? In this world, including Rara, even I can't possibly want to have an actor's mother or whatever it's called. After all, Rara also knew nothing. Rara was also the victim of her mother, Tan.”

Kiara became misbehaved, confused and even embarrassed. “You can talk like that, because you don't know how tormented it is to be aunty, Ra!” his firmness which then chose to pass a moment after staring fiercely following Yura Rara who was still downcast and teary-eyed.

Shortly after Kiara leaves, Yura leads Rara into the apartment.

“I'm fine, Ra. Thanks, yes,” said Rara who then lowered Yura's embrace from both shoulders. “Oh, yes. Please don't tell anyone about this incident let alone Kimo,” he continued shortly after turning around to look at Yura. Not to forget, even though he realized his tears could not stop glistening, he still commented a smile before passing into the apartment.

Yura felt wrong. Where maybe he just kept quiet, while what Kiara did already included the act of criminal Pun with the way Kiara treated Rara and for her was very outrageous. What will happen to Rara, and what will be Rara's relationship with Kimo, if Kiara remains unwilling for the two to be together?

“Hopefully this can be a learning for the people out there, because whatever we do will have a fatal impact on the people closest to us!” Yura stepped up with a feeling that still could not calm down. Moreover, he also had a background that he did not even know about.
