Artist And Army

Meet a strange man

The next day, as planned today, they will visit the one-year anniversary of the tragedy that befell Richard and his friends, everyone was asked to wear black with red roses in their hands. They will place the flowers on a place that is symbolic of this commemoration. At 09.00 am they are all already in the place, Vivy can feel the atmosphere feels very sad, the weather is also very supportive not hot and not overcast.

"Wherever you are, I hope you mean the best place that can make you happy" Vivy said.

The event took place, the family witnessed how the military forces began to do their duties, previously this place was one of the very dangerous places because this is where the war occurred, in the last year the war has not happened again and that is why they also they can only do this honor after one year of the incident.

The citizens were asked to approach a monument that became symbolic of the placement of the red rose, Vivy with her son walked up to the monument, before putting it Vivy lent her eyes so that tears would not fall, for now crying is something he tries not to do. Especially now there is Chris, he does not want Chris to see him continue to cry.

"Dad…"

"Hey dear Dad," said Vivy as she rubbed her child's face gently.

After the event was finished they both decided to return to the hotel, today Vivy also decided to go on vacation with her son. If you wait for tomorrow again their vacation time will be shorter, while still being able to make good use of the time Vivy wants to take advantage of it.

"Where are we going, mah?"

"We just walk, baby, than we are in the hotel alone we better take a walk," said Vivy.

"Streetings.. Asik street street.." Chris looks very happy.

Before leaving, Vivy must have permission first, previously she had told the military if she would continue her own activities with her son not to join the group again, because Vivy is an artist and has good finances they do not matter Vivy does not join the group anymore.

For Vivy's re-buy airfare, the ticket she bought at the time was cancelled by Reni and luckily she still could. Reni has also confirmed to the hotel if Vivy comes early, they do not matter as long as the money goes smoothly.

"Either why I want to go there, it feels very uncomfortable here," said Vivy.

They left the hotel, before going to the airport to a restaurant first to fill their stomachs. Moreover, the plane they were about to board was still a few hours away, so rather than waiting vaguely at the airport it was better to wait for him while filling his stomach.

"Why do you suddenly want to leave," asked Reni who was on a video call with Vivy.

"Why I don't feel right here, I want to get out of this place and visit the country that I'm going to make for a vacation" Vivy replied.

"Where do you know there to find your soul mate, no one knows right," said Reni.

"No, I won't find it" Vivy said.

"Don't do that, may Vivy find someone who is able to conquer her heart" Reni said.

"Hmmm, I want a grave bye.." Vivy turned off the video call.

After eating and sitting for a while they both continued their journey to the airport, Vivy and her son were already impatient to fly to the country where they were going on vacation. The distance is not so far, maybe only about 1 to 2 hours of flight.

**

In the afternoon they both arrive in the country they want, Vivy brings her son a hotel that has been booked by Reni. Before they go for a walk Vivy wants to put their things in a hotel room first, then the two will take a walk around this city.

"Let's walk the road." Chris pulled his mother because he could not wait to go around, before going to the hotel they both did cross paths with a playground filled with many exciting games, of course this child wants to go to that place.

Vivy also brought Chris to the place, he wanted to let his son play along with other small children, while he waited for the child in one of the chairs not far from the game place.

"You be careful, don't talk to people you don't know. Mom is waiting for you there" Vivy said.

"okay." Chris ran straight to the game.

Vivy shook her head as she walked closer to the empty seat. Not just sitting in the chair suddenly he wanted to urinate, immediately Reni looking for a toilet so that he did not pee in his pants.

And unfortunately the toilet was quite crowded with people, so Vivy had to wait a moment to be able to complete her wish.

"Hopefully she's fine, I won't be around for long" said Vivy.

After completing her wish Vivy immediately returned to the place of the game, her head looked to the right and left looking for the invisible child. The children who did not look Vivy immediately panicked at once, this place there was no one that the child could talk to it made Vivy panic.

"Chris. Chris.." Vivy ran here and there where her son was.

Until he saw the back of a little stranger in his eyes, of course it was Chris who was happy to buy ice cream with others.

"The kid." Vivy ran over to the boy.

"Honey," said Vivy.

"Dad.." Vivy frowned while looking at this man.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why he called me Dad" the man said.

Vivy's eyes were glued to the man's face, looking more deeply at the man a little like Richard.

"Honey it's not dad, sorry sir. My son really misses his father" Vivy said.

"No papa, he came to hug me and said I was his father. Introduce my name Ken, nice to meet you." Ken extended his hand to shake his hand.

Vivy just smiled, she did not want to come into contact with a foreign man.

"Sorry." Ken pulled his hand back.

"He's my dad's mom" Chris said, hugging Ken.

"Darling can't be that."

"No papa, don't get angry" Ken said.

Vivy feels a strange feeling when close to a man, why can Chris also think if this man is his father. Chris was never like this before.

"This is ice cream for smart children, next time do not just hug others, fear they are not good people," said Ken.

"Yes yeah." Chris took the ice cream.

"Thank you, come on baby we have to go back to the hotel, it looks like it's going to rain afraid we're even raining again."

"I don't want to be with my dad" Chris said.

"Had mama told you she wasn't your father" Vivy said with some emotion.

"Moment." Chris was crying hard.

"Have no papa, don't be angry yes he doesn't know anything, he misses his father. I have time if I may I can accompany him for a while," said Ken.

"You sure want to accompany her," asked Vivy.

"Surely I will accompany him, you take it easy I will not do anything that is not not for him and also for you" replied Ken.

To be honest Vivy is very curious about this man, it seems that it does not matter if he wants to give this man a chance to be close to his son, after all who do not have the heart to see a winning child like this.

"Have not cried now you can be with him" said Vivy.

"Dad.." Chris spread out his arms. Soon Ken was holding the boy, it felt very comfortable with the boy, that's why Ken was playing with the boy, he was very curious why this boy could call him a father. He is not married and has children.

Because the weather was not supportive, and it looks like it would rain the three of them directly to the hotel where Vivy was staying, Viny gave the permission to enter his hotel room. This is a very strange thing, because Vivy had never wanted to be close to any man before. Now with his bundle he gives important access like this.

"Why am I so comfortable around her," Vivy's inner.

Inside the hotel room the man was playing with his son, Vivy was just monitoring from a distance. She thought that if her husband was still alive, it was certain that her husband and her son would play like this, unfortunately fate said otherwise, everything could not be in accordance with her expectations.

Shortly due to the fatigue of the boy's sleep required Ken, Ken himself was very happy to be able to put this child to sleep. As if he wanted to stay close to this child, Ken also felt that he had found half of himself missing.

"Why do I have this kind of thought, I just met this kid," said Ken.

Ken put this boy on the bed, then he walked up to Vivy, To be honest he was also curious about this woman.

"I'm sorry it made you bother" Vivy said.

"No problem, I don't feel any trouble even though I'm very happy to be playing with your son" Ken said.

"Oh yes you don't know my name yet, my name Vivy is happy to meet you" Vivy said.

"Your name feels familiar to my ears."
