"Kharisa's...." Kharisa stopped his steps, looking back when he heard someone calling him.
"Are you really not getting together? My car is still empty if you want to come along." said the young man with a sturdy body and a face that can be said handsome, his name is Reza classmate Kharisa, Kharisa, one of the many men on campus who put their hearts on Kharisa. Who is not interested in Kharisa, a beautiful girl in white, with her hijab adds to her appearance more and more look perfect. Plus her friendliness, and her ability to communicate in public, including her ability to speak English fluently shows that she is a smart girl. Unfortunately, Kharisa always withdraws from his friends, including from activities on campus if it is not too important he does not follow him. Try not to get too close to his classmates, talk as necessary but still be friendly, and will avoid men who try to approach him. No one knows why, of course, Kharisa feels different from other mahasawi friends, because he is a student who has had a son without marriage. No one knew it, except Faisal, his faithful companion.
"I'm sorry I can't go with Za, there's a sudden important affair." Today is Reza's birthday, she invited her classmate to a meal at a restaurant in Bandung, Bandung, deliberately choose a place in Bandung because his friends want all the streets in the largest mall in the city of Bandung. Coincidentally their lecture schedule is only until noon, this is the fourth day they enter college after an odd semester break, campus activities are not too crowded.
"I'm first yeah." Kharisa passed away leaving Reza, Reza could only look at Kharisa who was getting away, looks of disappointment on his face, of course his intention to treat his friends to go with Kharisa, what he expected was not even able to come. Kharisa was going to come, so he wanted to go to the bookstore to buy some books that supported the eyes of his lecture which was recommended by his lecturer. But earlier he got a message on his HP from Bi Nani if there are unknown people coming to his contract, of course making Kharisa not calm and want to go home soon.
He walked with a hasty step towards the gate of the campus, buses and student transport cars that pass in front of his faculty look full, if waiting for the next bus does not necessarily come again in a fast time, if you are waiting for the next bus, so he chose to walk even though the distance to the campus gate is quite far. While walking in the heat of the sun his memory continues on his little son, who is about an unknown person who came to his contract. Said Bi Nani in her message, which came two men asking where Rakha fortunately Rakha was sleeping in the room, so only Bi Nani approached the unknown guest, out of fear, Bi Nani went straight in and locked the door without asking who her guest was.
Does this have anything to do with what happened yesterday? Ask Kharisa in his heart.
Two days ago Kharisa received a phone call from an unknown number, with a doubtful feeling Kharisa pressed the green button on his HP screen and heard the voice of the woman claiming to be Rafael's mother, he invites Kharisa to meet and ask for the address of Kharisa's residence. Between happy and confused finally Kharisa willing to meet with his mother Rafael but not at home, it is impossible for Kharisa to bring Rafael's mother to his very simple contract, precisely a tenement. Rafael's mother agreed to meet the next day after Kharisa's college, for the place to be determined again later.
And the next day after finishing college, Kharisa went straight to the place determined by Ms. Rafael, a hotel not far from the campus, less than ten minutes using the Kharisa angkot has arrived at the hotel specified by Rafael's mother.
They met at the hotel restaurant, and it turns out that Rafael's mother was not alone, she was accompanied by a young, beautiful woman, with a beautiful body, she was about thirty years old, and her face was similar to Rafael's mother, and she was very beautiful, it seems to be her daughter which means her brother Rafael.
"How's your son doing? Asked Rafael's mother to open the conversation, his voice seemed cold, but made Kharisa's heart flow a little because Rafael's mother asked Rakha news, meaning he cared about his granddaughter.
"Alhamdulillah Rakha is healthy." replied Kharisa with a friendly smile, although Rakha actually had a bit of fever since last night, but this morning the temperature had dropped to 37°C which was originally estimated to be 38-39°C.
"You must be bothered and tired of taking care of your son, your college is only second semester right?"
"Yes aunty, but I don't feel bothered let alone tired, there is Bi Nani who helps babysit Rakha." Answer honest Kharis. It is true that he did not feel any hassles let alone fatigue caring for his son, his fatigue would disappear when he saw his little son playing cheerfully or while sleeping soundly.
" I'll help ease your burden so you can focus on your studies." Kharisa furrowed his brows, not understanding what Rafael's mother meant.
"This is Arlita the oldest child in our family, let her take care of your son, she has a lot of free time to care for and raise your son, she is very expecting offspring after being married five years ago, she is very much looking forward to the children, so he'll love your son very much."
"What auntie mean?" Kharisa is confused by the words of his mother Rafael.
"Your son needs a full family, complete parents. Arlita and her husband will adopt your son, they will take care of him with affection, provide education and a good life, I make sure your son is guaranteed until he grows up."
"Just a second..seventually....." Kharisa laughed for a while, not laughing happily, but saddened to hear the words of a woman who had been thought to bring happy news for him, but instead threw him to the bottom of the pit of pain. His eyes began to water, but he was held back not to wet his cheeks. His heart was sore, not expecting the real woman who was the grandmother of his son to separate him from his son who had been an encouragement for his life.
"I mean aunt? Aunty will separate me from Rakha? Which is not recognized by the family of his biological father, even lightly asked to abort him? Sorry aunt, don't ever think I'd give Rakha let alone adopted, ha.ha.ha."
"And need aunty to know, Rakha never lacked affection even though there was no father figure beside him, many people around him who sincerely love him, even love him very much, love him very much, so auntie doesn't have to worry Rakha will be happy with us. Please tell Rafael, me and Rakha will not demand that he is not responsible and will not admit his son. Also tell me I'm waiting for his explanation, I don't think it'll be hard to meet me if he's really looking for me and my son." Kharisa stood up from his seat, it felt like he wanted to leave in front of the woman who he thought had no heart.
"I think it's enough to get here to our meeting, sorry I'm sorry." Without further ado, Kharisa left his mother Rafael and his brother who were still silent to look at Kharisa.
Given the incident, Kharisa believes that the one who came to his contract was Rafael's mother's man, maybe they will take Rakha forcibly.
Kharisa hastened his steps, so that he could get to his house immediately to make sure his favorite son was okay. Finally he arrived at the gate, he walked again to the angkot stop, but suddenly there was someone blocking his step.
" Take us for a moment" said one tall, well-built man. Of course Kharisa was surprised by the presence of two men in front of him who were not known. Her memory was directly on Bi Nani's message that there were two men coming to the house, whether the same person in front of her.
With a sense of anxiety he followed the steps of the man in front of him, another person kept him behind so that Kharisa did not run away, he said, when they arrived in front of a white luxury van parked in the yard of a fairly spacious restaurant, the atmosphere was not too crowded.
"Lake in." Orders of one of the men who opened the car door. Sure enough in it was her mother Rafael and her brother sitting in the back seat.
"What else do you want a auntie?" kharisa asked after he sat in the seat next to Rafael's mother.
" Oh so auntie told people to come to my house, aunt told people to bring Rakha? Auntie wants to kidnap Rakha? Aunty is not afraid I report to the police" he asked again with courage and confidence that the person who came to his house was the man of Rafael's mother.
"Listen to me." This time her mother Rafael's face looked red, as it held back anger, probably because of Kharisa's bold attitude towards her.
"Give your son to us, in exchange we'll cover your tuition and living expenses until your college is over, and you won't have to live in that crowded tenement again, you can live in a comfortable apartment, and that apartment will be yours."
"And we made sure your son would live a secure and happy life with us, unlike now living in a narrow, dirty plot and probably many sources of disease" his mother Rafael said in a cynical tone.
"Aunty, I told you, I will never give up my son let alone exchanged for an apartment.ha.ha.ha.ha, auntie must have thought me cheap could glare with wealth. I emphasize aunt is wrong, need aunt know, I instead leave material pleasures for my son that is not recognized by his biological father and family. So don't ever expect aunty to take it from me. I feel sorry for my aunt, my dear aunt, beautiful, rich, educated, but I have no conscience." Whether there is a power from which Kharisa dared to speak such words, indeed to protect his child a mother will be able to do anything, as well as Kharisa, so, there is no fear of facing Rafael's mother, including two men who look like bodyguards.
"I'm sorry aunt, thank you for coming all the way here." Kharisa pressed the door opening button, and immediately got off the car as the door opened, half running he left the luxury car.
"Miss...Neng....." Kharisa looked back when he heard a familiar voice calling out to him.
"Let's go up." Without thinking long Kharisa sitting in the seat, behind Faisal, Faisal also drove his motor matic towards Kharisa's rented house.
On the way to his house finally clear crystal fell down on Kharisa's cheeks, while continuing to think where exactly Rafael, whether he really did not want to be responsible, until his mother could not afford to adopt her own granddaughter, rafael does not love him anymore when he knows Rafael is very afraid of losing him. How can he contact Rafael....?
seriate.....
My beloved Assalamualaikum readers. Thank God my second novel has passed 20 episodes even though it is slow. But Othor make sure the story will continue until the end with a happy ending of course, even though he does not know what kind of happy, which is clear Kharisa will definitely be happy with his small family. Who will accompany Kharisa and make him happy? Is Rafael still recognized as his lover (they have not broken up yet) plus the father of his son? Or Faisal? His helper angel who was always beside him and supporting him? Or other men like Reza for example, or there is a new character again, a man who loves charisma?
Which reader should choose? Let's give the input well, give me a comment to support Kharisa happy with whom?
Don't forget the likes and comments well, send flowers to Kharisa, must be happy for him. Thanks yeah.🤗🙏
Warm regards🤗
