Jungki carried Ezra to the boy's residence not far from the park. There were still the remains of the sadness of the girl's grief. Hugged the nape of Jungki and drowned his head on the young man's shoulders.
"well, we've arrived." let's bring Ezra down.
"thank you, Uncle." he said, hoarsely.
"Okay, come in before you get home first." Ezra's fine hair was cut.
Seeing that the boy had disappeared behind the door, Jungki immediately turned right to pull it out of there.
"who are you?"
deg deg deg.
I swear by anything, the man almost fell right after turning his body ready to leave the yard of the minimalist type 36 house.
Two pairs of eyes were looking at him coldly.
"Niel, come in first. Mother will follow."
Danniel also said. He walked past Jungki who was still sculpting. The boy didn't even give greetings or just a pleasantries.
Jungki looks wrong. This was the first time he had come this close to his older sister, Roze. It felt very unfair because Roze did not know him as a younger brother.
Should I introduce myself? Saying we're brothers?
If you do not remember the message of the father to keep a secret who he is, Jungki would like to be frank. However, he was also afraid because of course Roze would not easily accept himself well.
"Why silence? What have you done to my daughter? Why are you carrying her? What's your relationship? Don't you dare touch someone else's child."
Roze was sure if there was nothing, Ezra would not be that familiar with strangers. Moreover, this man before him was a young man. Who knows what kind of person this man is.
"Hi, sister, um.-"
"Don't get along. I don't have a sister." Roze broke the greeting with a stern word. It was not easy for him to be friendly to strangers.
Uhhh! Is this what it feels like to be heartbroken? Brother rejected me even before I was honest who I was.
Roze's words without feeling were very painful, like a spear that was stuck with all its might stuck in his heart.
"sorry, I ... earlier .. I saw the boy playing alone in the park. Oh yeah, I live near the park. Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable." Jungki gave a small smile at the end of her sentence.
Although this man seemed to be fluttering with random words coming out of his mouth, Roze tried to believe him. He could not imagine the strange things that happened to his daughter. After all, Ezra does often play in the park alone because no children in this complex want to be friends with him.
"you may go." coldly Roze asked Jungki to leave, unceremoniously offering the man in for a glass of tea perhaps, he walked past Jungki, just like the boy before.
"sorry,"
Tap
Ros stopped stepping. Why else would this guy say 'Sorry' inwardly.
"My name is Lee Jung Ki."
Jungki took the initiative to introduce herself even though Roze just stood in place without turning around. After that Roze continued on. Jungki stared at the departure of her only brother with haru feelings. Until Roze disappears behind Jungki's door.

Entering the house Roze steps quickly to find Ezra's whereabouts.
"Ezra, dear ..!"
Chequek, czech,
Open the room door. There were two completely different scenes from the two little humans. Daniel was reading a book, while Ezra was rolling his body with a blanket.
"Dear, what's wrong with you, son? Ezra why are you crying?"
Ezra ignored his mother and covered her face with a pillow.
"Niel, why your sister?"
Daniel just shrugged his shoulders at the tah know sign.
There were many questions Roze had thought of. What has this little girl been through? Who would dare make her cry? Usually this child is what causes others to cry.What was that man? Has Ezra been harbored by the young man?
"Ezra, are you sick, baby? Where's the pain, son? Did uncle beat up Ezra? Come on, wake up, tell me the same story."
Roze forced the small body into his lap. Ezra continued to hiccup in the arms of the mother.
"Sup ...! Tumben you're crying, baby ..."
"Mother ... when will you come home? Are you sure you're busy working?" ezra's sad face demanded an answer from the mother who now only returned her gaze without saying anything.
"Mother, Arif's father also works out of town. But Arif says his dad calls every day."
Arif is a neighbor's son whose father is also not at home for reasons of working out of town. Not because Arif told Ezra directly, but Ezra only heard a glimpse when the neighbor's son told another friend.
"Ezra, does Ezra miss you so much?" finally the mother began to speak. Ezra turned a little quiet. He also nodded.
"Mother, Ezra is tired of waiting for you. Is Dad not going home?"
Deg deg, deg deg, deg,
Roze felt his heart break as after listening to his daughter's innocent question. This little kid how can you ask a question that can tear feelings? Roze felt as if the world was completely impartial to him. Should he break the heart of his fragile daughter? Waiting all this time had made him tired. Ezra waited without anyone asking him to wait.
"Ezraaa, forgive mother, son .. Mother has made you wait without certainty."
What his mother is feeling, Ezra may not understand. His little hand wiped away the tears that flowed into his mother's smooth cheeks. In his heart wondered, which part made Mother Roze sad, why now she looks more sick?
"Mother, sorry for making you sad. Don't be sad anymore, Mother, Mother is not wrong. From now on Ezra doesn't wait for dad anymore. So stop being sad." he said gently.
"Darling, I'm not going home, son. Dad's somewhere and we can't be with him."
Roze began to explain in easy language by his daughter.
"I'm sorry baby, you've been lying all this time." Roze hugged his daughter again, giving her the warmest hug hoping to defeat the flames of anger that belonged to his little boy.
"Bun, Ezra, it's a drink and it's been a sad drama." Daniel used to act first. Watching her mother and sister crying over the man made her feel dislike. After all, why cry for someone who is happy with his life? Just wasting positive energy. That's what that handsome boy thinks.
"Niel. Sit here." mother Roze patted the spot next to her. The three now sit next to Roze in the middle of the two. He hugged the two children at the same time with his right and left hands.
This situation has never happened before. The atmosphere almost never happens in this small family.
"Darling, you can't have your father. But ... Wherever you are, he's still your father. You can't hate him. There's no resentment in your kids' hearts toward anyone, okay?"
"Mother, why did you leave us?" perhaps still curious, Ezra still asked and promised this was his last question about father.
"Ezra, Niel," he rubbed the heads of the two children. Well, it's time to tell the truth even though maybe not everything.
"Honey .. listen and remember this well Son, when someone has grown up, they are free to choose. Dad had a better choice for his life, and it wasn't with you."
