Two large suitcases filled with clothes and other equipment are already parked nicely in the corner of the room. Nara's been packing since her return last night. He has also met the owner of the rental house and told him that Nara no longer occupies the house.
This house has actually been inhabited since he sat in the High School bench first. Removing it also needs extra patience because Nara is already comfortable with a small house that patch. However, circumstances had chosen him to leave. Living with Arion as a housekeeper especially taking care of babies.
From tomorrow, Nara can start frugally. There is no need to spend money on taxi fees because he will ride Arion every day to go to the Office.
Many questions arise in his head about the reason Arion desperately wants to prosper the baby when clearly they do not have blood ties.
^^^Arion^^^
^^^|| Edsel has been delivered to daycare. What about you? packed already? will I pick you up later in the afternoon? ||^^
Nara
|| All ready. Today I will visit Mom ||
^^^Arion^^^
^^^|| Need a ride? ||^^
Nara
|| I've booked a taxi online ||
Nara put her phone back in the bag after talking briefly in the chat room with Arion.
Every weekend Nara has a mandatory schedule that she must do, namely visiting Lisa, her mother.
It's a long way, two hours' journey.
His gaze glared far into the clear sky of the city. Sunlight began to slip every gap of skyscrapers. A beautiful morning, but it must be contrary to the feelings of Nara who immediately turned moody. Not unhappy because he will meet Lisa, but the atmosphere of his heart will instantly feel melancholic when remembering a million stories of grief in the past.
The situation forced the two to separate for a long time. The longing to meet must be limited in a matter of minutes. I want to be able to come back like Nara Melody, the spoiled little girl. Always sleep under the armpits of the mother, always go together and do not want to be separated. Until something unplanned destroys all happiness.
"It's over, Miss." The taxi driver disperse all the reverie of Nara.
He got out of the car after saying a small thank you by giving more money as a tip. The taxi was asked to wait until Nara's business was over.
His steps tread the dusty tiles in the yard where he always met his mother. It's the fifth year since the judge's verdict was handed down that Lisa officially became an inmate in the Nara stepfather murder case.
Nara goes through the investigation in advance, such as showing identity cards and checking luggage. Only then was he allowed to visit Lisa in a special room.
They came face to face with iron bars as barriers.
"Mom how are you?"
Every time Lisa saw the prisoner dressed and sat languidly behind the iron barrier, Nara's heart was torn apart. Her tears sometimes just escaped without excuse.
"Mom should ask you, how do you sleep well right? still eat a lot, right? smooth work?"
His hands slipped with Nara's fingers at the small hole that was available in front of him.
"Nara good Mom, you have to eat a lot." those silent tears were even more heartbreaking.
The highest-caste twilight woman as a mother still remains at number one of her daughter's circumstances, although clearly she is the one who needs that attention. Even the weight of his body was reduced very much, his face was thin with wrinkled skin on the surface of the back of his hand.
"Mom ate a lot, slept well, I'm at home here."
She is a great woman who is always good at lying. How can a prison create comfort and peace.
The sentence of twenty years in prison is the most terrible scourge for Nara. It wasn't a minute.
"Mother's a criminal, can't be free."
"Mother is not a criminal, I have to get out of here, I have to be patient for that, and Nara's prayer is to get a lot of money."
There is nothing that cannot be bought with money. Nowadays Law and self-esteem even in cheap ecer with just a sum of money.
Even people who have thick wallets are like slippery eel fish and are not easily caught by the authorities or rather left to roam freely as long as illegal transfers continue to quietly fill the account them.
"Mom always wishes you the best. I believe my son is strong and great." The wrinkles in the corners of her eyes became clearer as she forced a smile. A fake smile to cover the pain in his chest.
"Thank you, Mom. Oya, now that Nara has an additional job from Mister Arion, Nara's salary will double."
"Thank God, he must be a good man."
So far, there has never been a crime committed by Arion on him, regardless of his attitude. But, Nara also can't trust too much in others, as her mother always reminds her every time.
Don't trust anyone but yourself. The person closest to you may be your enemy.
"The time is up." The guard gave a warning. In front of Nara, Lisa was immediately guarded from left and right again bringing her into the cell.
"Next week, Nara's here again ma'am." Lirih Nara with a tear wound that deepened.
Lisa looked over with a nod full of haru. There's still a lot of longing they want to spill in a long fairy tale, but not today. They are always reminded that reality must be accepted even though they are not ready. The longing must be pressed deep so that it does not spread easily, and it feels painful.
Nara comes with a feisty move, but comes home with a heightened sense of laziness. It was heartless to leave Lisa again huddled in the cold in the prison room.
"Nara, where are you?" Someone Nara knew greeted her when she met in the lobby. Yeri, one of the employees who works also in Arion company.
"Oh that. I look at you brother." Nara almost hesitated as she gave an answer to Yeri. The thing he didn't want to happen now. Though all this time he tried hard to hide the matter about his mother who was in prison.
"Sama dong, I also nganter Mami jenguk his daughter got a drug case." Clearly without asking.
It seems so coincidental. Nara has to meet her office friends at this place.
"I was first, the taxi was waiting. Cassian." Nara quibbled and tried to avoid some other questions that Yeri might ask.
"Oh, okay. Be careful on the road."
The two waved to each other and parted ways there.
Without Nara knowing, Yeri harbors a great curiosity for her visit to the prison. He was planning on extracting more accurate information from the prisoner officers here.
"Sir, who was that woman??" Yeri asked one of the officers.
"Oh he's here every week, look at his mother."
"Why Mother?"
"Inmate for her husband's murder."
"Oh." Yeri answered only briefly, but the grin on her face meant a sense of satisfaction.
