Bondage of Love

Barter

"Mommy, why doesn't Xander come here."

"He's sick, Axel."

""What's mommy sick?"

"His feet hurt." answered Kamisha still engrossed with her busy making cakes. A lot of orders came in today. And it just so happened that because of the holiday he was willing to take quite a lot of orders.

"Let's mommy take me there."

"Dear Axel, mommy is still making cookies and our car is in the workshop."

"We're calling onty Sofi to take us."

"But mommy's order is still a lot of pity. It's been taken that message."

"Alright," Axel replied in a disappointed tone. He immediately went into the room.

Kamisha could not bear to see his beloved son was disappointed.

"Mbok Sri can help me?"

"May I Misha. I have no job either."

Kamisha did not give a lot of work to mbok Sri because of his age is not young anymore. Only clean work - cleaning, washing and ironing. But because this time Axel wants to visit Xander makes it must quickly complete the order.

With the help of Sri and Suci mbok who had to go back and forth to the store and home, finally the order could be completed faster than Kamisha estimated. Put bread on the hampers.

"Holy."

"Yes to mbak."

"Later the bread you put here like this. Slowly - no need to rush."

"Good mbak."

"I guess I live alone can't I?"

"Mbak, Misha doesn't have to worry."

"Thank you holy."

Kamisha went into the room to meet Axel who seemed to busied himself with reading.

"Why haven't you had a shower?"

"It's ten o'clock mommy. I took a shower this morning."

"Oh, it means not to meet Xander dong."

"What mommy? we're going to Xander's?"

"Yes, onty Sofi is on her way here."

"I'm going to take a shower" Axel quickly got out of bed and took a shower.

Kamisha was happy to see her son's spirit back. Sorry Kyara if for Axel's happiness I'll sacrifice a lot of things. If only after you knew about this and were mad at me I would accept.

Kamisha immediately prepared the needs that would be brought to Xander's house.

"Mommy do I smell good?"

"Dear, let's get changed. It'll be bad luck."

"Good mommy."

Kamisha confirmed the cake order again. He also did not want to disappoint customers. After everything was settled, he could leave quietly.

"Hi Axel's. How handsome you are today." Sofi said

"I want to see Xander, onty."

"Well, onty's happy to take you there."

Kamisha smiled at her best friend. "Heh, remember you already have your fiancee."

"You're just amazed. I can, right."

"Let's go, get some daylight."

Kamisha took Axel into the car. The trip to Xander's house takes thirty minutes. Sofi drove her car casually. He was the only friend Kamisha had. He does have many friends but all you can trust is Sofi.

"This is Xander's house." Sofi cried so in front of the gate of Xander's house. "Crazy, very good. Luckily, Kyara was able to get a big class as a gini."

"Have not gawked, would you enter?"

"No, greetings to Xander. Later in the day I have to accompany my mom monthly shopping, mumpung holiday."

"Okay, thank you so much Sof."

Sofi immediately left them in front of Xander's house. After informing the security guard Kamisha immediately entered the house.

"Hi Axel."

"Of oma." Axel kisses mom's hand Attalia

"Om Xander is on top, yuk oma inter."

Axel was very enthusiastic about climbing the stairs. Because at home he had none. Moreover, Xander's large house makes it more free to run to and fro.

"Axel be careful, don't run" Kamisha warned.

"Relax mommy I'm as strong as Xander's."

Kamisha and mama Attalia just smiled at Axel's funny behavior.

"Sorry ma."

"It's okay, this house is so crowded with the voices of children."

"Mommy.. mommy..," call Axel.

"What's the matter, baby?"

"Which room is Xander, I'm confused."

"Those next door Axel." Appoint mama Attalia. "Come on the inter."

"Come on," Axel pulled the hand of Attalia's mama. "Om Xander must be surprised to see me."

Mama Attalia opened Xander's room door. At that time Xander was sitting at his desk facing a laptop.

"Om Xander."

"Hi Axel, come here. Who are you here with?"

"With Misha."

Xander smiled. He lifted Axel to sit on his lap.

"Om what are you doing? i bother you?"

"No, I'm just glad you're here. I'm on vacation often lonely."

Kamisha went inside while putting down the cake she brought.

"Axel goes down son, Xander's wounds can open again."

"It's okay what Misha."

"Ah, you always spoil her."

"Tumben is not formal."

"It's a holiday, so it's not office hours."

"A right too."

Kamisha approached Xander who was sitting at his desk. He squatted down a bit then checked the wound on his leg.

"Still not dry, you should rest on the bed. Not even this kind of work."

"I'm bored of Misha."

"Why can my leg get hurt?"

"I'm helping your mommy."

"really? om Xander looks like a superhero."

"Yes right, ask your mommy if you don't believe it."

Axel averted his gaze on Kamisha, and Kamisha nodded confirming Xander's statement.

"Well, um don't lie."

"I know om's great. Later when I grow up I will protect mommy. In the meantime I'm putting my mommy on om."

"Axel do not talk carelessly, mommy can take care of yourself mommy. You don't have to worry, baby."

"Oya Axel what do you like to eat?" tanya Xander switched the conversation.

"I like fried chicken, um."

"All right let the waiter cook you fried chicken. You're having lunch here."

"Yeah.it's fun." Axel shouted in excitement.

"You take it easy, Misha, you just go with my mama and talk."

"All right, I'm going down" Kamisha replied. "Axel mommy comes down yeah, don't be naughty okay."

"Good mommy."

Kamisha came out of Xander's room and met Attalia's mama who was gardening in the side garden. Kamisha helps her take care of the lily flowers which she happens to like too.

Kyara walks alone to a coffee shop at the top. It seems he has an appointment with someone.

"Why is it too late?"

"Racquet."

"Drink what?"

"Capuccino, sugar free."

The man immediately called the waiter to order a drink.

"Why did you call me here?"

"Casual.no need to strain."

"I'm the lover of your cousin Harvey, if people find out I'm meeting a man in secret - hide what they're responding to me."

"Don't listen to anyone." Harvey replied casually. He sipped his order coffe.

Kyara took a deep breath, and frankly she was annoyed at not wanting to deal with Harvey for the second time. Even deep down, the love is still there.

"Kyara."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"You're weird. Who invited me to meet whom? who wants to tell who?"

"Well, it seems you must be reminded of something you may have forgotten by now."

"What do you mean?"

Harvey pulled out a photo in his cell phone gallery. There is a picture of Kyara who is pregnant.

"Have you remembered?"

Kyara's face turned deathly pale instantly, hands trembling.

"Where did you get this picture?"

"Some time ago my wife and I came to Jogja to visit eyang Wijaya who was sick. I met some brothers and friends from school. They told me about your pregnancy, your mother going to jail and your family going through a slump."

"Why are you scraping all about my past?"

"I'm not at all prying or finding out about you, they tell me themselves. Because I used to think of it as monkey love, snot-boy love."

"Love monkey you said!" kyara said grumpily. "You've ruined the future, Harvey."

"I didn't ruin your future at all, you forced yourself to give everything to me. And now you blame me for everything that happened."

"I'm sorry I know you, you don't know how I tried to get up and look back at my broken future."

"Now I ask, where is my son?"

"Your son died when I was born."

"Huhahhh... Kyara's... Kyara, you're lying again."

Don't - don't Harvey already know everything inner Kyara. He clenched his hands, some sweat dripping from his forehead.

"I asked again. Where's son?"

"Well, after you know what you want?"

"I want the boy."

"You already have a wife. How could your wife accept all this. You forbid me to tell you about our past."

"I'm going to adopt her and Zeline doesn't need to know the boy's origin."

"She's already thrown away." Kyara replied as she looked away

"You lied again Kyara."

"I'm not lying!" deny Kyara.

"All right, look at this." again Harvey showed me a picture. "Kamisha, the baby was laid on your bull Kamisha. In other words Axel is my son."

"Da___where do you know?"

"It's clear that after the reports came in on me because you were pregnant I did an investigation. Right after you gave birth you left the house and your mother was in prison. The helper goddess in your family showed up Kamisha your mother's sister. I also investigated that Kamisha had never been married, had never been pregnant. How can I arrive - suddenly have children. My guess is right, isn't it?"

"I hope you didn't leak this matter to Xander."

"Hahahha. Your request is actually very difficult. Xander is my wife's cousin. I know him as a good man. How sad his fate would be if he got a woman like you."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'll help you keep everything a secret, but I want Axel."

"It was very hard Harvey, Misha loved Axel very much. He wouldn't take his eyes off Axel one bit."

"You're his mother and he's not. You're more entitled to Axel than anyone."

"But it's too much for me if I confess to Axel that I'm his mother."

"I didn't tell you to confess to Kyara. I just want you to use your status in front of Kamisha, press him to give up Axel."

"Mr Misha won't let go easily."

"It's up to you, give Axel to me or Xander will know everything." Harvey leaves Kyara alone. Without feeling her tears. Kyara is really confused. True Mbak Misha said, once lying will continue to lie to cover up other lies.

Axel likes to play at Xander's house. He also had time to swim, play in the park, read a book in the mini library owned by Mama Attalia and finally fell asleep in Xander's room. It was late at night and Kamisha decided to go home.

"Let Axel sleep here. You accompany him to sleep. I'll have the waiter prepare the guest room."

"I can't Xander. It's not good for a woman like me to stay at a man's house."

"There is a mother."

"Yes I know, but we have absolutely no family connection. I think decency would be inappropriate."

"Mama agrees with Kamisha's words, mama appreciates her decision."

"Thank you, ma."

"Can you take Axel?"

"You're funny, even though my body is small I'm strong. If the matter of the affairs of the carrier - carrying no doubt."

"All right." Xander helped lift Axel and handed him in Kamisha's sling."

"Can?"

"Yes can."

"I just carry it."

"Don't.remember the word of his foot doctor don't for a heavy pedestal - heavy first."

"Yes. yes, Sister Misha."

Mama Attalia smiled at such a sight. Had Kamisha wanted to be her inner daughter-in-law mama Attalia.

"Let the driver take you, it's night."

"alright. Thank you, Mama Attalia, Xander. Axel is very happy today. I've never seen him eat it before."

"We're also happy that Axel came here. Often - often yes come here." said mama Attalia.

After Kamisha went downstairs he immediately got into the car. With the driver, he immediately returned home.

Not long after Kamisha arrived in front of his house. "Thank you sir."

"Same - same."

Kamisha opened the fence of her house and closed it back. When he turned around he saw a shadow of someone standing in front of his shop.

"Who's that...!"

The shadow moved when it realized that someone was calling out to it.

"Hey, wait...!" with lightning fast Kamisha took the sandal she was wearing and threw it into the shadow.

A...!!!

The slippers hit the shadow's head.

"Mbok sri's...! mbok...! there's a vane...!" he shouted loudly - loudly. Because he was still holding Axel he could not freely pursue the shadow. Damn fail again I caught it inner Kamisha.
