Happy After Parting With You

Chapter 27

"How are you feeling now?" Alvin asked Rani, the woman was still looking forward where her ex-husband was strayed.

"Of course." Rani answers weakly, she does not know how to describe her feelings. On the one hand he was glad that Ilham had such a punishment, but on the other hand his heart felt empty.

Suddenly Alvin's phone rang, the man answered quickly. His voice rattled, he even straightened his body and one of his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly.

"Alright, keep an eye on them I'll be there soon." Rani looked at the man curiously.

"My man's been getting a trace of where Karina is."

Alvin immediately started his car engine, his phone he attached to the side of the steering wheel in a standing position. On the screen is a map of the location that leads him to the destination.

"Where are we?" Rani asked as Alvin's car entered the motorway.

"Ke Bandung, they're there."

"Hand? Far-away. What's the residence of Madam Karina around there?"

Alvin shook his head, "no, Karina will take Ananta to the child model audition."

Rani covered her mouth with both hands. It is undeniable if Ananta has a face of a combination of father and mother. Even he said without an audition, Ananta would definitely be able to enter the world of modeling. Especially with the background of his mother who is also an artist. Maybe if she were Karina, she would do the same.

"I would never approve of Karina's efforts to make Ananta a model. Never will." Alvin's voice sounded firm, Rani could see that the man's jaw was hardened.

"Why?" Rani had to regret having said that word, because a little later she saw Alvin staring intently at her.

"I would never have agreed that it wasn't Ananta's own wish, after all he was a kid shouldn't have done the job."

Rani can understand, Ananta's life is very guaranteed while with her father. This man even noticed the slightest detail about his daughter's needs.

"Then, what's the reason Mama Karina made Ananta a model?"

Alvin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Because these few months his career has dimmed. He barely has a job."

Rani now understands why Karina was determined to bring Ananta. Apparently he was going to make the little girl his money machine.

Cars are increasingly moving away from the city of Jakarta, as long as there is no sound between them. By noon they were already approaching the location point. Alvin drove his car faster.

They have arrived at a modern minimalist style house. In front of the house there were two cars parked there. Alvin stopped his car not far from the house. And with slow steps they approached the house.

"No words, Maaa." His second ear caught the whining sound of a small child.

"Just for a second, honey, it won't be long." A woman was heard persuading the little girl.

"But, Tata's tired, Maa." The little girl almost cried.

"Awhile what's hard, anyway. Tata also just sat down while ngadep camera." The woman seemed to have exhausted her patience, heard from her tone rising by an octave.

Alvin moved forward, from the shadow on the window pane he could see that his little girl was being forced to do a photo shoot. From there also seen the face of Ananta who still looks pale, let alone the clothes he is wearing today that do not have arms.

"Mas! What the fuck are you? Put Ananta down, he's not done yet." Karina rebuked Alvin, she was stunned for a moment by the presence of the man.

"I won't let you drive Ananta!" Alvin's eyes looked fiery.

"Driven what do you mean?" Karina pretended not to understand the words of her ex-husband.

"Don't act stupid, Karina! I heard myself that Tata refused you to model. And don't you even realize your daughter's body is hot?" Alvin squinted his eyes, then handed the boy in his arms to Rani.

Rani is also surprised when her skin comes into contact with Ananta's skin, the girl's body temperature is really hot.

"Is there a pain, honey?" Rani asked softly in the ears of the boy whose head was drooping on her shoulder.

"It's not like Ananta's okay." Even though her mouth said so, Karina was scared. He did not realize that Ananta's face had been pale. It's just that his desire for the boy to be immediately diorbitkan made his instincts as a mother disappear just like that.

"Can't you see your son's face pale! Didn't you hear that she's been complaining tired?" Alvin came forward and said while pointing at Karina's face.

Some of the crew there did not dare to break them, all fluttering in their respective places.

"Remember, Karin! This is the last time you bring Ananta! Don't try to come to him again." After saying so Alvin turned his body and walked away from this house, followed by Rani who carried Ananta.

Alvin ignored the screams of his ex-wife asking Ananta to stay, the woman even followed Alvin's steps as his hand reached for the man's arm.

"Mas, let's talk about this carefully, allow Ananta just for a moment to do this shoot. I beg you, Mas." Karina was still trying to convince Alvin, but the man stepped in without even hinting at the woman's words.

Karina is getting inflamed, especially when she sees Ananta being carried by Rani. Make his anger rise to the crown.

"What because of that woman, Vin!" yelled Karina, making Alvin step stop. The man then turned around and looked at the woman who had been with him for almost six years.

"What are you, Karin?"

"Because of him, right, you're preventing me from seeing Ananta?" yelled Karina, her index finger right towards Rani who was staring in front of the car door that was open.

"Take care, Karin! Rani has nothing to do with any of this?" Alvin moved forward toward Karina, his jaw hardening.

"Oh, it's so sweet the way you call him. How far along is your relationship?" Karina asked while laughing.

"So your mouth, Karin! Just so you remember you left us long before Rani's arrival. And what if I have a special relationship with him? It's only natural, I'm a widower." Alvin said steadily which made Karina speechless. Even Rani who heard it also goosebumps, did not expect him to be faced again in this difficult position.

"Now don't bother us anymore!" Alvin immediately twisted his body and passed leaving Karina, he did not realize if the woman was smiling cunningly.

Alvin quickly turned his car away from this place, he wanted to immediately bring the body of his daughter who was empty in Rani's lap.

"How is he doing?" Alvin asked worriedly, he placed his left hand on the boy's arm.

"It's getting hot." Rani answered no less worried, especially when she saw the girl's lips pale.

"Could speed a little, sir, Tata should get help immediately."

Alvin quickly stepped on the accelerator, ignoring the horn from the vehicle he had passed. What was on his mind was that Ananta immediately got help.
