Zazkia climbed the dorm steps one by one following the steps of Vino who walked in front of him. Finally they reached Vino's room.
"Sister Vino.", Flo immediately hugged Vino.
Flo who had not been fluent in speech looked towards Kia. He looked at Kia and smiled.
"Who...?"
"Friends Brother Vino. His name is Kak Kia"
"Beautiful", said Flo.
Kia crouches down and Flo hugs Kia. The boy was very happy to meet Kia. Looks like the fever has gone down, from earlier the babble did not stop.
"You're back, Rev"
"Ooh, yes mi. This is my friend, Zazkia"
Ellene held out her hand. Kia held out the hand of the woman in front of her. He watched Ellene from toe to head. Not wrong again, this is the woman who was yesterday with Vino, the inner Kia.
"Maye ..."
"Grand ..."
"Your college buddy, Rev?"
"Not"
"Hmmm..."
"Ami Special", said Vino 1)
Ellene only gave a small nod of attention to Zazkia more closely.
"Come, Flo .. We go home. You need to get plenty of rest" Ellene took Flo home.
Flo shakes. He won't leave. Vino patiently persuaded him. And finally the little girl obeyed the words of her half-brother.
"Take care of yourself, Rev"
"As long as Papi hasn't come home yet, just call me if there's anything important. Mami don't have to worry" said Rev who drove Ellene up to the car.
"Mami?", the inner Kia who was listening from behind Vino.
The Mahawira family car drove towards the residence of the Mahawira family home, approximately fifteen minutes drive from the dorm. Vino invites Kia inside. He made a cup of warm chocolate for the long-unseen woman.
"You're how you are, Kia. I'm glad you're here"
"You owe me an explanation, brother"
"alright. I-i know. I'm sorry if this makes you sad"
"Explain everything, brother"
"Hmmm..."
"Who's Ellene?"
"Ellene is papi's second wife. They got married three years ago"
"Ellene your stepmother?"
"Are you too young?"
"He's my little friend. Our house is next door. Then he went back to France following his French-blooded Papa"
"Your best friend or ex-boyfriend, sister?"
Vino speechless. He turned his head towards Kia who was staring at him waiting for Vino's reply.
"Rather precisely the woman I once loved"
Degs... Kia's heartbeat seemed to stop for a few seconds hearing Vino's words.
"You still love him?"
"No"
"But what did you do, brother. Your eyes can't lie when you caress your stepmother's cheeks. I can't take all this"
"I'm sorry, Kia. I just got carried away. For God's sake I don't have any feelings for Ellene anymore. I wouldn't be that crazy about my papa's wife, Kia. I'm still sane"
"Should I trust you, brother. While you and Ellene are on the same ground"
"Close to you, Kia. I'm not asking you to trust me. Let time answer it. I'm still the Alviano you used to know"
Drr... Drr...
Kia's phone rang.
Click ..
"Hello .. "
"Where are you, Deck", asked Kevin from the other end of the phone.
"I'm around Route de Saclay Kak"
"Together Vino?"
"Hmmm..."
"We're flying to Jakarta tonight, baby. Kevin's brother wait at the hotel"
"Yes, Brother. Kia's going back to the hotel now"
Kia hung up. He intends to return to the hotel. Vino forced him to deliver the hotel. Kia refused.
"Let me take you"
"No, I can do it myself"
"Don't insist, Kia. You are now with me. I have to make sure you get to your sister safely. I don't want you to reject my offer"
