Dad's Bladder

"Oh Aunt Inara. I'll say hello to my mom."

"Yes Cleo, thank you very much."

"Together, I go home first" Cleo said as she waved her hand at Inara and Kenzo. Inara smiled at Kenzo. "She's a very pretty and jolly girl, just like her mama."

"But he's also very annoying" Kenzo grumbled.

"Don't be like that, he's so much fun, someday if you part with him you'll definitely lose a figure like Cleo."

"No way."

Inara smiled and looked at Kenzo's face. "You're a big boy, you're selling a little bit like your father when you first met me."

"Papa Rayhan?"

Inara nodded her head. 'Not Rayhan but Abimana, your real father is Abimana.' Inara murmured.

"Tante, let's go inside. Doesn't aunt want to meet papa and mama?"

"Yes. How's Sharen doing?" inara asked as they entered her house.

"He's good, next month we'll go to London. Kak Sharen majored in design while we majored in business."

"We?"

"Oh yeah, I mean me and Cleo."

"It looks like you guys are really being fooled."

"Tante don't taunt me continuously, we have nothing to do. Aunty moment I call papa and mama, please aunt sit first."

"Yes, thank you very much."

Kenzo then walked into the house to call Ananda and Rayhan, while Inara sat in the living room observing the surroundings of the room. They saw some family photos. Rayhan, Amanda, Sharen, Kenzo, and Amanda and Rayhan's biological son, Clarissa.

"A complete and perfect family, just like Vallen and Firman who also had two children. They're lucky, not like me. Seventeen years ago, I had to fall in love with Abimana, a prisoner sentenced to death. Maybe it's true, love does not know logic until I have to fall in love with it, the love that is so deep that whatever I do for it, it even felt like I had lost my mind to have fallen in love with a prisoner who either had a future or not" Inara said with a wry smile.

After a while, Amanda and Rayhan leave the house. They then approached Inara.

"How are you doing Inara?" greet Amanda while hugging her.

"Okay, very good."

"Message?"

"Yes, he wants to see photos of Sharen and Kenzo. Last time I went here, when they were in elementary school after that I was so busy that it was so hard to take my time to go here. Abimana also never asked Kenzo and Sharen because he also has many activities in the correctional institution. Until this morning, she said that if she missed Sharen and Kenzo so much, when I was about to call you, I realized that I don't have your phone number anymore, so I went here on Abimana's wish to ask for a photo of Kenzo and Sharen."

"Oh of course, I'll give you their pictures, Inara," Amanda said, then walked into the house. While Rayhan and Inara who were sitting in the living room looked so awkward. Inara could only smile at Rayhan.

"Why did you choose a path like this, Inara? Isn't waiting so painful? You're beautiful and rich but your life is all you spend with Abimana who's in custody. I thought that after separating from me, you could get a much better man than me."

"Come on, I don't know. My love is too big for her."

"When you're in love you never use your common sense, Inara."

"Indeed love never uses logic mas, at least the stupid things I do today do not harm others, not the same when together with you first."

"But this is also harming you, Inara. You can marry another man instead of waiting for Abimana who doesn't have any certainty. It's been seventeen years Inara, you can't be like this all the time."

"Rayhan, let him choose the course of his life" said Amanda, who is now near them.

"It was Inara's life choice, and we have no right to judge her. Let Inara choose her way of life according to her heart, maybe for us it is a stupid act but not for Inara. It's a sacrifice for the sincerity of her love, and I think she's the greatest woman I've ever met" Amanda said, looking at Inara.

"Thank you Amanda."

"Yes Inara, these are pictures of Kenzo and Sharen, you just take them. We have a duplicate, I've written down my phone number and Sharen and Kenzo's, just call us whenever you want."

"Thank you very much, Amanda."

"Yes are the same."

"You never talked about Abimana to Kenzo and Sharen, did you?"

"No we've never said that but one day we'll definitely say it. After all Abhimana is their real father, they deserve to know that."

"I also have the same thoughts as you, but Abimana doesn't want Kenzo and Sharen to know he's their real father, she doesn't want them to know if their real father is a prisoner."

Without them noticing, someone stood behind the wall and listened to their conversation.

'Detainees?' muttered that figure.

NOTES:

What if Kenzo and Sharen find out that their father is a prisoner? Later also othor tell me yes, about they want to accept their real father?
