Forced to endure
Chapter 88



"Where are you going after this?" I continued the conversation with Eva.


She shook her head. "Not anywhere. My only purpose here is to meet you. I want her since childhood to know someone who has been a meritorious person in her mother's life. I want him to be the one who knows the return."


"You don't have to overdo it like that."


"I'm not overreacting. You are so good in our lives."


"Can I stay here until a little afternoon? The bus I took to go home was leaving at four."


I'm nodding. "of course. You can also contain it here."


"Thank you." Eva smile.


"Aren't you going to get Kenzie to meet his father?" I switched the conversation so Eva wouldn't keep talking about "my cooperation" with him.


Eva looked at Kenzie, who was sleeping on the couch. I had asked her to put Kenzie to bed in the upstairs room, where my kids used to sleep but Eva refused.


"No. I told him his papa was in heaven. So he never asked."


"You don't want him to know?"


"Make what? Her father doesn't admit it, rather than her being hurt it's better not to know her at all."


"But he has to take responsibility."


"no need. I can raise Kenzie alone so far."


I'm trying to understand Eva's decision. That's choice. When she was at her worst and the man she hoped would help her raised his hand, it was hard to forget.


I took Eva to lunch after her son woke up. Kenzie said he liked burgers, so I took them to his fast food restaurant.


I didn't take my kids because Keisha was in school and Kirana was picked up by Mas Adji. They'll buy a bike right after Kirana gets home from school.


The three of us were at a fast food restaurant. We're coming in soon. But in the restaurant I saw Likha and her husband and son there too. It seemed like they were celebrating something because there was a small cake on their table. True news that I heard, Likha and her husband did look more friendly.


I wanted to take Eva back out before they saw each other but it was too late. Eva had walked away unaware that Likha and her husband were there.


Apparently Likha immediately realized Eva's presence. He glared as if in disbelief Eva was standing in front of his desk. Likha's eyes kept watching Eva's every move then turned to Kenzie.


I immediately pulled out Eva's hand before she realized it.


"We eat somewhere else" I said.


I don't want any fights in this place. I know how Likha's nature is, she will definitely attack Eva with a frontal no matter her surroundings.


"Why the hell Win? Kenzie ordered food."


Likha turned her attention to me. From the way I look at her I know she's very angry right now either at me or at Eva.


"View ... View ... First wife and second wife get along apparently." Likha's voice made Eva turn her head and realize her existence. I've memorized the nature of Likha so I don't really care about her grandchild.


Eva looks surprised to see Likha. But he can keep his attitude.


"We'll take it home to the store for the food. Don't make a fuss here" stop me.


"Wait a minute Win .., you take it easy. I'm not gonna make a fuss." No I guess Eva just walked over to Likha and her husband.


"Son, here ... I know another mom friend. There was Aunt Likha the same ... her husband Om Haris," Eva told Kenzie. Eva has no hesitation in referring to Haris as Kenzie. "Who are they dear ... "


"Hello om .. hello Auntie .. my name is Kenzie" said the boy boldly. Haris is silent, while Likha continues to look at Kenzie alternately with her husband. Maybe she just realized that Kenzie is very similar to her husband.


"What do you want pela*ur?" ask Likha without further ado.


Eva immediately closed Kenzie's ears. He did not want his son to hear how Likha called him.


"I don't want anything from you. I have lived happily with my son. May you also be happy. Bye bye!" Eva leaves behind Likha and her family.


I was honestly amazed to see the way Eva dealt with Likha. Pretty mature in my opinion.


"Win, we're going home now." I'm nodding. Eva stepped ahead of me while I turned towards Likha.


"Gen can't lie. The two of them are very similar," I said as I glanced at Haris who had been like a statue ever since. Likha looked angry at my words. I don't hate Likha, I just don't like their attitude that is like turning a blind eye to reality.


"What do you mean Win?"


I shrugged my shoulders and went after Eva. They know exactly what I mean. The resemblance of Haris and Kenzie's faces could not hide the reality. And I'm getting relieved by it. That clearly proves that Kenzie is not Mas Adji's son.


The three of us went back to the store. While in the car I saw Eva several times wiping the corners of her eyes. He did not let his tears flow.


"Please take Kenzie in, Win, I want to go to the toilet for a while" Eva said as soon as we arrived at the store. Her red eyes could not hide her feelings now.


I'm nodding. I know he needs time to be alone.


"Yuk yuk .. Your mom wants to go to the toilet first."


Kenzie according. He went straight into the back of my usual staff resting and having lunch. Kenzie immediately ate the food we had bought without asking for my help. He's very independent.


I accompanied Kenzie to a meal while Eva was still not back. Then I heard Kirana screaming.


"Mamaa ...!!!" Kirana ran towards me and immediately hugged me. He looks very happy.


"Home home, baby? So buy a bike?"


"Yes Ma, that's the bike papa brought." Kirana pointed to the front of the shop. Before long Mas Adji entered the bicycle with one hand.


"I had to buy some bike shops with little pony Win" said Mas Adji, putting the bike down. But then Mas Adji smiled and grabbed Kirana's body into his arms.


"But if for this beautiful baby papa want to mutter the whole city papa would." Kirana smiled shyly.


"Tried first, show papa that you can ride a bike," said Mas Adji again.


Kirana got on that bike. "Isn't it good, Ma?" ask him with sparkling eyes.


"Good dong, right papa who buyin," said Mas Adji.


Suddenly Mas Adji was silent and looked back. "Who's the boy Win?"


Jeez ... I was too happy to see Kirana's excitement that I forgot that Kenzie was eating behind.


How'this? Should I tell Mas Adji? How will he react if he sees Eva?
