DREAM OF THE SHADOW

CHAPTER 61

"Pa, papa come down first. Longer if you take Shua Pa. Shua wait here. Please pick up Yuna ya Pa." William got out of the car and ran straight into the airport.

Shua hates her now unable to pick up her lover and instead troubles her father. But what he can do, he has to start accepting everything. Shua must accept whoever helps her as long as she needs it. Twenty minutes have passed. He could only wait in the car. What if Yuna still chooses to go home? Will he stay silent or follow her?

'It is the result of your stupidity and selfishness Shua! Isn't playing chases like this too childish for you??' The voice in his head could mock him.

Shua took her phone. He could call his father, why didn't he do it earlier. Three calls were not answered. Shua felt uneasy. It seems like it's too late.

"Bodooohhh!! Boohhh!!" Shua shouted at her own stupidity while hitting the dashboard.

"Who is stupid? Me or you?"

Shua turned towards the voice next to her. The figure of the woman he knew so well came in and sat in the driver's seat.

"Yeah...Yuna's? You're here?" tanyakanya.

"I'm always here. Near you. But why won't you accept me?" Yuna looked at him seriously.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, honey. Sorry." Shua hugged her tightly as if afraid Yuna would leave her. Long they hugged in silence, dissolving in their feelings.

"I'm so scared to let you down, honey. My condition is now.." said Shua after letting go of her embrace.

"Shhhhh...Stop talking about that. Have I ever doubted you? No. gabe. I can always count on you. So are you, honey. Trust me. Rely on me too. I want to be the one who has no boundaries with you." Yuna held onto Shua's cold hand. And finally Shua nodded in agreement.

"I believe in you, in our love. Please don't leave me. I will fight as I can to get back to normal. To always take care of you."

"To be able to carry me the day we get married." Yuna continued. Shua nodded then hugged her again and kissed her forehead.

"Goddessa!!! About William. I forgot!" Yuna pushed Shua's body.

"Papa? Where's papa?" ask Shua. Yuna did not answer because she was calling.

"Om, it's done. We wait in the car. Thanks Om."

"Om William, wait at Coffee Seven. He gave me a chance to have a conversation with you" Yuna said. Soon he sees a figure who saves his relationship with Shua and he immediately takes the initiative to move to the back.

William got into the car with a smile as he looked at Shua and Yuna alternately.

"Have you played the drama?" tanyakanya.

"What's the hell's Pa?? Go back to yuk's apartment. Shua hungry hahaha...."

William laughed in his heart as he felt greatly relieved. He misses his son as much as he is now, laughing as he used to. Relieved because the advice given to his son is not wrong. Joshua's happiness, his only child, is his top priority.

"Do you really have to go home tomorrow?" shua asked as she stroked the arm of Yuna who was hugging him from behind. They were enjoying the night view from the balcony of the apartment after enjoying their afternoon meal.

"Yes, I'm sorry. But there was an important meeting with a client and I couldn't skip it. Tomorrow morning I can still come here because the flight is at two o'clock." Yuna stroked Shua's hair.

"Tomorrow morning? You didn't sleep here tonight?" Shua turned her head towards Yuna who was standing behind her. Realizing her uncomfortable position, Yuna advanced to face Shua and leaned against the balcony railing.

"I'll stay at the hotel. The apartment is full, there are no rooms left. You can't possibly ask me to sleep with Vanya, right? Haha...Not that I don't like it. I am more receptive to his presence now. But to sleep in the room, it would definitely feel awkward."

"Just sleep in my room" said Shua while holding Yuna's fingertips.

"Huhuh? You're crazy! There's papa's mama. Don't be slovenly ah!"

"iii...Just your mind once. Not doing anything, darling. Just let me sleep. I'm still missing. Tomorrow you're back in the Indo." Yuna did not agree but also did not refuse.

"Here I help you stand. Yesterday I saw you standing up." Shua quickly shook her head.

"No.no...I can't."

"Come on. You forgot your promise to me you can count on me? Come, Honey. I'm pretty strong." Yuna pretended to show her arm muscles. Actually Yuna was very longing to stand next to Shua, but she did not dare to say it. Yuna started trying to lift Shua's body when there was no longer any rejection from the man. Shua also held the balcony fence made of stainless steel and tried to lift his body up. He could already feel a slight taste in his legs but was not yet strong enough to support his weight.

"Aaaahh... At last.. You did it, honey. Look, you're taller than me now." Yuna laughed loudly.

"Yes, thank you. It turns out that you are indeed my powerful medicine hahaha...." Shua had never tried to stand up other than her training in the hospital.

"Yes, not too long ago. You should practice more."

"Awhile more. Hugged me dear dong." Pinta Shua because both hands are still resting on the fence. Yuna chuckled at her childish attitude. Shua longs to smell Yuna's hair.

"Please stay here tonight" he asked again.

"But you're the one who said yes to your mama." Yuna released her embrace and helped Shua sit back down.

Shua pulled out her phone and called someone.

"Ma, Yuna sleeps here huh."

"........."

"In Shua's room. Just chill. No Shua is okay."

"........."

"OK." Shua put her phone back in her pants pocket.

"Beres, right? Mom and dad came home last night. After shopping they'll go to dinner." he explained.

"All right."

"Darling, may I ask you something?" ask Shua. Yuna moved a plastic chair in front of the man.

"Can. Whatever."

"When you disappeared yesterday, where were you?  I'm calling you, looking for you through Adit and Cathy, even Bik Sum."

"I'm just traveling" he answered briefly.

"really?" Shua was a little surprised. He thought Yuna was locking herself up somewhere.

Yuna nodded, "Right. I go to many places."

"Only?"

"Yes, by yourself." Maybe that answer is the safest. He couldn't possibly mention Dylan's name in front of Shua. Although nothing happened between them, but he did not want Shua to misunderstand because they had just made up.

Vanya looked at everything from the window while swallowing the cut fruit on the plate she was holding. Maybe it's true that only Yuna can make her brother Josh happy. Never had he seen Brother Josh happy like that. Not even with him. As hard as Vanya tries, she won't be able to. Vanya stroked his stomach. It was when she was declared pregnant, as if there was no more light in the world. It all felt so dark and swallowed itself. But ever since he could feel the movement of even a kick from that little whiz, his maternal instinct began to grow. Vanya is starting to make peace with everything.

'It's healthy, son. Mama will also try her best to be able to give birth to you into this beautiful world. Mama promised, you will meet Om Josh, Aunt Yuna, Oma Nissa, and Opa William. They're your family. Even though Mama will not be next to you, but you can count on them.' Vanya's tears also dripped as he felt the window in his stomach again due to Jovan's kick. Yes Jovan, a nickname given to the child in his stomach. Only he knows what Jovan means. Josh and Vanya.
