Back To Yes

Chapter 14

Tristan got out of the elevator, then walked towards his room in shaky steps. Truth be told Tristan is still lazy to go to the office, but delaying work is not Tristan's nature. He is a CEO, and a good boss is always a good example for his employees.

The arrival of the man caught Maura's attention, the girl immediately got up from her seat then gave Tristan a greeting.

"Morning, Mr. Tristan."

Tristan just nodded and walked into his room. Maura looked at the man with pity, Maura knew, Tristan must still be grieving.

Maura was eager to hug the man, giving Tristan strength to stay strong even though he had just left his loved ones.

Tok

"Lake in!"

Maura emerged from behind the door, making Tristan frown.

"What's up, Maura?"

"Eh, um.. It's okay, sir. I just want to ask."

"Ask what?"

"Em.. What is the truth, Father-s parents died?" Maura was very careful. As if scared to make Tristan sad.

And really, Tristan immediately looked down to make Maura feel guilty.

"Sorry, Sir. I didn't mean to"

"Here, Maura."

"Eh, what, sir?"

"I say here" said Tristan flatly.

Maura is manut though her heart is tight-fisted. Actually she was scared, was Tristan angry at the question?

Maura approached the man with her head lowered.

Grep's!

Unexpectedly, unsurprisingly, Maura widened her eyes when suddenly Tristan hugged her, tightly, warmly.

"Eng-, Mr. Tris-"

"Let it be like this, please.I need a backrest," Tristan sideline slowly, her chin is at the top of Maura's head, because she is only as tall as her chin.



Maura could only be silent, each breath filling the silence of Tristan's room.

Honestly, Maura was happy. Finally, after five years, he was able to take another hug from Tristan. And it still feels the same, comfortable.

And Tristan knows the same thing. He thought, after the painful incident that Maura made, that the feeling of comfort was gone. But it turns out not. Tristan just frowned again, and in the arms of the same woman.

"Patient father, I believe God put both parents in a Beautiful place, next to God. All this is just a test so that you and Kauki are stronger," said Maura rubbed gently Tristan's sturdy back, making Tristan relax.

"Thank you, Maura."

Maura nodded, she closed her eyes, hoping for time to stop this time as well. Just him and Tristan. But Maura realized she had an Alpha. Maura felt evil.

But Maura could not deny, being in Tristan's arms, everything felt right.

While continuing to embrace Tristan, Maura continued to give thanks and forgiveness. Thank you for feeling Tristan's warm embrace again, and sorry for Alpha.

"Sorry, Alpha, but I'm comfortable with Tristan."

🍁🍁🍁

The pastel blue vespa motorbike stopped in front of a house, the house was neither too big nor too small. More like a kindergarten school.

Nando turned to Kauki who was writhing the house in front of him with a frown.

"Come on, Ki," Nando asked.

"Nando's." Kauki held Nando's hand without taking his eyes off the house in front of him.

"Why?"

"Why did you take me to the orphanage?"

Nando smiled, Kauki was confused, Nando was worried that Kauki did not like him to take him to this place.

Nando takes Kauki to an orphanage. In addition to making Kauki forget his grief, Nando also wanted to show something to Kauki.

"Get in first yuk, I'll explain."

Kauki could only be fainted when Nando holding his arm gently entered the parlour.

"Hello everything.."

"SHARE NANDOOO.."

"Hey.."

Kauki was flabbergasted when a group of little boys, ranging in age from 3 to 10, splashed into Nando's arms.

"Babang, where are Nando's branches? How did you never play here? Lita kangeeen is so Bang Nando" said little girl in her 5s, Lita.

"Yes, Fano also misses Bang Nando" added Fano, a 3-year-old boy in Nando's lap.

Nando chuckled in anxiety.

"Bang Nando is also kangeeen.very same tuyul-tuyul's cute Babang," jolted Nando tickled the little children around him to make them giggle and avoid.

Kauki who became the audience can only gawk, he was astonished and amazed by Nando who turned out to be familiar with small children.

"Eh, look, Bang Nando ngajak who," pointed Nando at Kauki who was silent like a pancoran statue.

All the cute boys immediately threw their gazes towards Kauki, and the dozens of innocent eyes looked at the girl with their mouths open.



Kauki waved his hand hesitantly, then greeted, "Em. hi, kids.."

Lita gasped, "Bidadariii.."

"Not bidadali, but belbii!!" rebut Icell expressed his opinion.

"No, it's mama peli!"

Nando held back his laughter hearing Fano's words.

"Fairy mother, Fano, not the peli."

"But Fano can't say 'R', Bang Nando."

"Well that can."

"That's an example," elak Fano made Nando's naughtiness.

In an instant the boys moved in front of Kauki, while Kauki himself looked confused.

Kauki lowered his head as someone tugged at his shorts. He saw a 4-year-old boy.

"Hi beautiful brother, my name is Fedro, I'm the most handsome here."

"Wooooo!!" Cheers do not agree immediately echoed when the boy named Fedro introduced himself. Kauki was a bit shocked but felt amused as well.

The girl crouched to equalize Fedro's position.

"Sister's name is Kauki, but you can call Kak Uki."

Fedro smiled gushing both dimples of his cheeks. "Hi, Brother Uki. Big brother, it fits Fedro."

"Huuu.."

Nando laughs wryly at Fedro's flirtatious behavior to Kauki. Among other boys, Fedro is the most centile. Maybe a dozen years later, Fedro will be a master seducer. Think Nando.

While the Kauki that Fedro combined can only giggle amusedly. How not amused, combined with a 4-year-old boy. You get curious, Fedro giegombal gini who's trying?

"Sir Uki, I'm Lita, my beautiful sister is like a Lita." Lita shows her Barbie doll.

Kauki smiled gently. "Thank you.. Lita is also beautiful," she replies, making Lita smile.

It didn't take long, Kauki was able to get along with those cute boys. To Nando's amazement, there hasn't been an hour, the boys seem to have known Kauki for a long time.

Fano, the bully who is difficult to get along with does not even want to escape from the lap of Kauki. But Nando was grateful, Kauki was able to accept his little companions well.

---

Kauki looked at the row of baby boxes in front of him with a confused face. After painstakingly persuading Fano to escape from Kauki, Nando takes Kauki to a room.

And the room contained dozens of baby boxes.

"Nando, what room is this?"

"This is a special room for babies."

"Oh.." Kauki approaches one of the baby boxes and finds a tiny baby playing with his bite toy. "Eh, this one is the baby's waking up, Nan," Kauki said.

Nando walked up to Kauki and grinned, the baby staring at Kauki with a gesture as if asking to be carried.

"I think he wants to be carried away, Ki."

"Times, anyway?" Kauki held the eight-month-old baby up to his carrier. "Adudamudu. heavy as well it turns out. Hiya.."

Smiling, Nando explained. "She's called Teguh, the caretaker of her home near the river, in cardboard."

Kauki. "I mean, Teguh dumped?"

Nando nodded his head, Kauki's eyes immediately glazed over. Staring at Teguh, the toddler was staring at Kauki with his plain clear eyes, then laugh typical of babies.

"This cute baby is thrown away?" lirih Kauki looked at Teguh who was busy playing her long hair.

"Yes. It was a newborn, still red from blood. Maybe her parents dumped her because.. Constantly born from a forbidden relationship."

"********.." That swear word reflexes out of Kauki's mouth. He can not imagine, there are people who firmly throw innocent babies.

"Yes, they are not ********. Tasting a moment of pleasure, the abis threw away the results of their own actions. They're garbage."

Kauki nodded in agreement, even more than trash, Inner Kauki added. The girl hugged Teguh in her warm embrace, the baby did not refuse, instead seemed comfortable.

"You're strong, Dek. Your parents must have wasted as much treasure as you," said Kauki, his voice choked with tears.

Then there was the sound of crying from the box beside Nando, making the man take a baby who was still 3 months old.

"Well, if this puffer's name is Rachel!" nando exclaimed at Rachel who was beginning to calm down from her cries.

"What is Rachel's fate..same as Strong?"

Nando shook his head, but the look on his face remained sad.

"Rachel was born from a legitimate relationship. Unfortunately, Rachel's mother died after giving birth to Rachel. Her dad's the nitipin she's here. When we wanted to find his father again, it turns out Rachel's father died by suicide, he was depressed because his wife died. Plus they come from less capable families."

"Oh my God..." Kauki rubbed Rachel's tiny legs with a poignant feeling.

Why do babies as small as Rachel and Teguh have to suffer this unfortunate fate? It's not fair to Kauki, it's too much for a baby.

"Kauki, I know you're sad to be left by your parents. But look on the bright side, Ki, you can feel their affection even for a moment. But look at these babies, Ki, let's not lose the affection, squirm their parents' faces, they don't have time."

Kauki was crying about Nando's words just now, the girl nodded, she agreed. Indeed, he was devastated, even wanted to protest to God because God had taken his parents.

But here, in this orphanage, and probably many other orphanages, there are still many children who are not as lucky as Kauki, who can take a warm embrace of parents, affection.

These babies are not as lucky as Kauki who can grow and develop with parental upbringing.

Imagining the fate of the children of the orphanage makes Kauki's chest tight. Now Kauki knows that he's not the most unfortunate person in the world.

While continuing to shed tears, Kauki hugged and rubbed the poor babies one by one with a feeling of sadness. Kauki prayed that they would all grow up happy and successful in the future.

-----

Kauki carved her smile when Lita asked her to twist her hair.

And now the beautiful girl sat braiding Lita's hair at the request of the boy.

"Well, it's done!" exclaim Kauki.

Lita immediately got up and approached the glass. A wide smile was engraved on her tiny lips.

"Waaah.. Lita's like princess Elsa!" exclaim Lita happy.

Kauki was happy to see him. What else when other girls ask him for the same thing. Honestly, Kauki is troubled, but Kauki sincerely complies.

From a distance Nando watched it with a big smile. While playing with the police-police boys, Nando's views never separated from the figure of Kauki. Kauki is like an angel who brings happiness to the children of the home.

"Bang Nando, hands up!"

Nando flinched as Fedro nyodorin pistol in front of his face.

"Bang Nando has to go to jail!"

"Well, what's my fault, Mr Police?" Nando acted like a wet forearm.

"Salah Babang because I've been watching Kak Uki."

"Well why?" Nando frowned.

"No, Brother Uki has a Fedro. Anyway Bang Nando should be sentenced to prison for 1 day."

"Oh, don't dong, sir. I haven't graduated school." Nando pretended to be a masang.

"Well.."

"Aahaha.."

The laughter of the children of the home echoed when Nando's writhing was pulled and locked in a small tent, a tent that used to be a toy if the children were playing camps.

The squirming Kauki also chuckled and shook his head, then returned to his activities of braiding girls' hair.

"Kak Uki pinter ya nguncir hair," praised Lita, apparently the boy was very satisfied after being made beautiful with Kauki.

"Hehe, thanks. Kak Uki can shave his hair because he taught his late Mami Kak Uki."

"Waaah.. Iceland also wants to have Mama like Mama Kak Uki. But baby, Iceland doesn't have a Mama."

"Lita doesn't have a mother either. All of us here don't have Mama, brother. In fact, Lita would like to be in your mama's pocket, masaakin Mama, dinina-boboin Mama.."

The look on Kauki's face turned sad to hear Lita and her comrades talking.

God, these children crave the figure of mama but can not make it happen. Inner Kauki was concerned.

Kauki's heart ached as he stretched their sad look.

"You can call Kak Uki Mama kok," comfort Kauki by holding back her tears.

"Really?" Lita's eyeballs sparkle.

Kauki. "Yes, Kak Uki's cat also calls Mommy's sister. Hehe Kak Uki can be anyone's mother."

"Waaah.. Asiiic.. We have Mama. Mama Ukiii.."

The sad cry that Kauki was holding back from then turned into a haru cry. As soon as Lita, Iceland and her friends embrace her, Kauki feels her heart warm.

Nando grinned, joined them, as did Fano, Fedro and the boys who were busy playing police.

"But. if there is Mama, there must be Papa dong," chirped Nando reciprocated nods agree Lita, Fano and friends.

"That's it, Bang Nando's the Papa!" cetus Fedro was greeted by the happy cheers of his friends.

A red tinge adorned Kauki's cheeks upon hearing Fedro's remarks. That made Nando chuckle.

"Horary.. Mama Uki's.. Papa Nando..!!" fano's cheers rattled the body of his bully, the cute boy pulling Nando to sit next to Kauki, making Kauki even more misbehaved. Nando can only scratch his head.

Kauki chuckled haru, but then her cheeks flushed red as Nando looked at her. That guy actually did not lose salting from Kauki.

Ah, happiness is simple.

🍁🍁🍁

Alpha pacing in his room. He has no appetite, he is lazy everywhere, his mind is always on Kauki.

Even the chat from Maura was Alpha cuekin. Alpha opens only to see Kauki's reply, but the messages he sends, all no response. Huft..

I swear to God, Alpha messed up with Kauki. He has made his little friend stay away just because of a girlfriend who is not too familiar.

"I'm sorry, Ki. I'm sorry, I don't want to be far away from you. I didn't mean to make you go."

The handsome-looking guy grabbed his phone, trying to contact Kauki. But many times he tried, there was no response at all.

Al Ghazali's clone immediately went to the balcony, then crossed to the balcony Kauki. He tapped on the glass of Kauki's room, but there was no answer.

Alpha shifts the balcony door and goes into Kauki's room, but when he makes it in, the room is empty.

Alpha returned to his room and ruffled his hair in frustration. "Where is Lo, Ki?"

There's a fear in Alpha remembering what Kauki said.

"Elo want me to stay away from you? Okay, I'll stay away from you, until you can't squirm me anymore!"

Alpha shook his head violently, he didn't want Kauki to stay away. Alpha doesn't want you to be his enemy anymore. Not again!

🍁🍁🍁

After a week Kauki awayin Alpha, the bright brown girl even moved rooms because she did not want the same room decket Alpha. She's smashing face to face with Alpha.

Even at school Kauki continued to avoid, they were one class but as if far away. Kauki moved to the back seat, my equal Nando.

At home, Alpha has trouble meeting Kauki. After returning home from school, Kauki goes with Nando to the orphanage, and returns home after Tristan returns home.

And during this week Kauki's relationship with Nando became closer. So is Kauki who is increasingly familiar with the children of the orphanage and caretaker.

Kauki often bring new toys that are welcomed happily by children. The happiness of Lita, Fano, and his little friends seems to be a relief from Kauki's fatigue after passing through the complexity of school lessons.

There is something different about Kauki's heart. Lately Kauki so often blushed if the deck-deket Nando.

And Nando, that guy was really confused to shoot Kauki. Nando can't get his feelings anymore, he wants Kauki's soon.

But, Nando doesn't know how to froh! This is more difficult than the material design of the Riemann Hypothesis.

Uh, not with!

"Nando!"

Nando flinched from his daydream. "Eh, huh? Why?"

"That's Icha crying even dumbfounded!" kauki exclaimed as she nenangin one of the babies in her carrier.

Nando gasped then turned his attention to Icha in front of him. The 7-month-old boy was crying loudly.

"Eh, ouch... Cup cup cup, sorry Bang Nando yes, already nyuekin Icha."

Nando does various ways to nenangin Icha. Starting from nimang-nimang to play ciluk ba, but the toddler continued to sob.

Nando scratched his head in confusion. Then a bright smile rose as his brain got the idea.

Nando leaned Icha on the pram, then started jogging.

"Ning nang, ning nang eu. nang ning nang ning nang eu!"

Icha who was crying so laugh.

Nando continued to sway until he was unaware that Kauki and the orphanage children were looking at him cengo. Nando who was aware of the silent atmosphere immediately stared around.

Instantly scratching his head clumsily when he found everyone staring at him. "Goddess.."

Kauki smiled little, unexpectedly, the girl instead jogged floss dance, follow the way Nando with joggers cheerfully to nenangin baby boy in front of him. Make the baby laugh.

Nando chuckled and the two teenagers finally danced together to the claps of the children's home. Occasionally laughter echoes bring happiness in the orphanage.

🍁🍁🍁

"Kauki.. Ki, plis horrified me first. Yuki!"

Alpha walks off following the steps of Kauki who continues to shy away from him.

"What the hell, pelein!" kauki's jolt took off the coarse grip of Alpha's hand.

"Kauki, we need to talk, please!"

Kauki clucked then looked at the lazy Alpha. "Lo what else to say, huh? You want me to be away from you, right? Or do you want to do me PHO again, do you?"

Alpha shakes loudly, "No, Ki. Kauki, please. horrify me first."

"What's more, Alpha, if you want us to keep our distance, that's what you'll get."

"Kauki, you misunderstood. Keep your distance doesn't mean stay away from me."

"Alpha elo**** or whatever, I don't understand the same thought. Keep that distance!"

"No, Ki, no. Okay, I'm sorry if yesterday I was too late to talk."

"Gue's tired of being sorry. Elo tuh always did, Alpha, confessing abis's mistake apologizing, and you confess the two things over and over again. I'm boss, Alpha, I'm tired! I'm always sorry, doesn't mean you can keep hurting me. I've done this for you, but your reply?"

Kauki snorted cynically, then shook his head. His eyes glazed over recalling every Alpha's fault on him.

Alpha returned Kauki's sharp gaze with teary eyes as well. "Elo's doing the real thing, Alpha. I let go of the girl you puja-puja, elo it's real. Forget me, let's just say we don't know each other!" kauki said sharply.

"No, Ki, I don't. Elo my best friend. Please, Ki, I'm sorry."

"Stop, Alpha, stop! You don't have to say sorry anymore. Because no matter how many times you apologize, you know what the answer is," Kauki's voice whirled.

Alpha looked at Kauki grudgingly while continuing to hold Kauki back, but the girl always dodged. "Kauki, Kauki please"

BRAKKS

"Forgive me.." - Alpha when Kauki got into the car that Kauki ordered through the application and drove away.

Alpha sighed, shuffling her hair in frustration.

Save your advice cause I won't hear

You might be right but I don't care

There's a million reasons why I should give you up

But the heart wants what it wants..

🍁🍁🍁

Kauki rubbed his tears which again had to be wasted because of Alpha.

He doesn't want to stay away from Alpha, but Kauki is tired. Alpha is his best friend, but that doesn't mean the man can easily scratch the wound in his heart.

You love Alpha, but that doesn't mean he can't hate that guy. Kauki has a saturation point and he's at that point. You can't wait for Alpha.

And every second was like torture

Hell over trip, no more so 

Finding a way to let go

Baby, baby no I can't escape

🍁🍁🍁

Bruk!

Alpha throws the origin of his school bag, he fails to get an apology from Kauki. The girl seemed to be too sick because of her actions.

Salahin Alpha, who was blinded by love. Alpha blind, until you can not squirm Kauki who is hurt to sacrifice time, energy and feelings just for the sake of his interests.

Drrt..

Alpha's phone rang, the man immediately saw, who knows from Kauki. But Alpha sighed in disappointment because what he found was Maura calling.

"Hello."

"Alpha, where are you going? I'm home from work."

"Gue's tired, Maura, you can find a taxi."

"Loh but-"

Late, before Maura spoke, Alpha immediately turned off the call. Fuck Maura, all Alpha wants now is Kauki!

Kauki. considering his best friend, Alpha's face was immediately sad.

"Kauki.."

"Gipz!"

Alpha flinched while writhing Mia's mother tau-tau in her room.

"Mother, just ngagetin."

"They were daydreaming," replied the mother. "Eh yes, Al, Kauki how rarely look at it now? You guys usually stick together."

Hearing his parents' questions made Alpha again throw a breath. Alpha can't tell mom that she's in the same mess as Kauki.

"Ep.. You are busy."

"Busy what?"

"Yes, I don't know. Ask yourself."

"So you're just as cool as you don't know."

"Why is nanyain Kauki?"

"It's okay, Mommy just misses the same Kauki."

Hm.. Let alone mother, Alpha is also kangen kalik, bun.. Inner Alpha.

"Yes already, Mommy wants to go to the house of Ms. Sinta first. You if you want to go, eat first, already Mother masakin fried chicken same sambel terasi tuh. Oh yes, later if you meet Kauki, ask to play here, sayin; Mother kangen cook together," message mother before going to make a huddle at her friend's house.

Alpha clucked, which Kauki would be told to come here if there was him. Mommy is wrong to give a message, should say it to the person directly.

The manic-nosed guy took a figura on the nightstand, where a photo of Maura was attached.

In the photo Maura really sweet smile, but that's not the purpose of taking figura, not to squirm Maura's photo. The removal of the Maura photo that turns out behind him there is a photo of Kauki and himself while wearing a super mario costume.

The costume that Kauki loves, aunty flowers her name - but Kauki calls her Tia Flower - on Halloween day.

A drop of clear water flowed from Alpha's eyes, the flash of his memory along with Kauki re-spinning in his brain.

"Kaukiyi... How do I make you want to apologize to me? I miss you, I miss our moments together," muttered Alpha hoarsely stroking Kauki's face in the photo gently, as if stroking Kauki's face directly.
