Being a Night Butterfly

Being a Night Butterfly
TMFK-27



Vijaya chose to leave before Theo because he did not want any quarrel between them. Choose to suppress all anger that resides in the chest. Even so, Vijaya will still watch over his son and will not let him close to Melinda. In fact, he'll find out who Melinda really is. 


"Well!" 


After the departure of the father, Theo immediately threw his body on the sofa. Rubbing the face roughly. Right now, he had to search wherever Melinda went. You have to find the whereabouts of the woman. No matter if Wijaya has strictly prohibited. Tiringly, Theo is still trying to keep in touch with Melinda, but not a single one of his calls has been connected yet. Eventually, Theo enlists the help of his men to search for the woman. 


"Where are you, Mel? I really can't be away from you." Theo closed his eyes. Feeling resigned even though he will not give up.

"Mom, where are we going again?" ask Atha. Started to fatigue following Melinda's steps. 


"We're gonna find a boarding house around here, honey." Melinda answered softly. Seeing her son's pale face made Melinda feel unbearable. However, he also could not have stayed at Theo's place. No new problems will happen later. 


For Melinda, what she should be focusing on right now is Atha's jealousy. No matter what, he would look for money to heal his son. When she saw the exhausted Atha, Melinda asked her son to rest. Then buy food and drink for the child before they return to continue the journey. 


"I'm going to sleep first, Mom." Atha whining. Melinda nodded weakly and told the boy to sleep on his lap. The woman's hand gently rubbed the top of her son's head. He made Atha more sound in his sleep. Melinda closed her eyes when she felt her eyes wet. 


I want to complain, but I don't want the world to suck it up. She must be a strong woman who can stand strong in all circumstances. Although he was despicable and sinful, he was sure that God would not burden His servant beyond his means. He must believe that every difficulty must have ease. 


"You gotta get excited, Mel." Melinda mumbled softly. Encouraging himself. His gaze continued to lead to Atha until finally he fell asleep because he was too tired.

One week has passed. 


Theo's life has been hollow and there has been less since Melinda left. For a week Theo continued to search even he sent his men, but Melinda like lost swallowed by the earth. There was no sign of the woman. That made Theo completely lose his spirit. 


"Sorry, Sir. We haven't been able to find Miss Melinda and her son." Theo's men bowed deeply. Feeling worried about getting a tantrum from his master. If you come do not bring information about Melinda then Theo will ride black and sometimes even blindly. 


Everyone was really surprised because the departure of Melinda could make Theo so ruined. In fact, when Theo had to break up from his fiancee, the man could still remain steadfast, unlike today. 


"You guys are so stupid! How come you guys didn't find Melinda?" Theo's voice boomed. Fulfill that room. However, the man immediately threw out his body in annoyance. He breathed deeply and exhaled loudly. No matter how angry and raging it would not make Melinda found. 


"We will try again, sir. We'll find Miss Melinda bye." 


"Go from here! I don't want to be disturbed!" theo's orders. 


Theo's anger almost back overflowed. However, as much as possible he refrained from yelling at his own papa. Meanwhile, Wijaya looked at her son in horror. Theo's situation really makes him concerned. Theo looks so messy. Contrary to the situation of the man before. In fact, the look in Theo's eyes that usually look firm and challenging now looks cute. 


"Why did Papa come here? If it's just for arguing, you better go, Pa." Theo spoke softly and with great emphasis. He did not dare to look at his father. 


"Papa just pity to see how you are. Papa did not expect that a prostitute alone could make your life so messy like this," said Wijaya accompanied by a cynical smile. 


"Shut up, Pa. Don't ever come here just to mock or insult Melinda. I don't need that!" timpal Theo ketus. 


Wijaya applauded. "Well, whoa. You're so great. Do you need papa's help to find that cheap lady?" tanya Wijaya still continues to heat Theo's heart. 


"No!" Theo chose to get up and leave the house. For him, it was better to leave than to go back to arguing with the father. 


Theo drove his car without direction or purpose. Tracing each path while continuing to look right-left. I wish Melinda was around. However, Theo was again made to give up by the circumstances, he could not find Melinda's whereabouts at all. 


As the night approaches, Theo intends to return home. However, while on the way, his forehead shriveled deeply when he saw a woman who was holding a boy. His posture was almost exactly the same as Melinda's. 


In a hurry, Theo stopped his car and chased after the woman. I hope that his vision is not wrong. In fact, so impatient was Theo to hug the woman from behind. It did not matter even though the woman was struggling strongly. 


"Let me hold you for a moment. I miss you." Theo spoke while closing his eyes.


"Are you drunk, sir. We don't even know each other." 


Theo immediately opened his eyes and let go of the embrace immediately upon hearing the woman's voice. Not Melinda's voice. When the woman turned around, Theo was astonished at the fact that she was indeed not the woman he was looking for. 


"I'm sorry, Miss. I'm wrong people." Theo scratched his non-itchy nape. Feeling ashamed and misbehaving. 


"Basically men don't know themselves!" his scolding while leaving Theo. The woman's words were still heard even though they were quite far away. 


"Oh my God, why would I be wrong with someone like this." Theo sigh*hkan breathing into the air roughly. Then get back in the car. Across the street, he saw another woman holding a boy. However, Theo did not care and preferred to go from there. Don't want to if he's wrong people up to twice. 


"Sir, it looks like Mr. Theo is indeed in love with the woman" said Wijaya's personal driver. Unbeknownst to Theo, Vijaya has since followed his son. 


"Better now we just go home, Zul is already at home and it looks like he brought important information about the woman." 


"Good, Sir."
