Hi Love Come Back
chapter 55. Me and Lea
"Hi you? You are so beautiful. Where's your mama?" chris said to the two-pointed little girl.
"Mami.ii tuch." said the little girl.
"Let's go to your Mami." take Chris while holding the child.
In the hall next door appears a woman with mini A Line is looking for something.
"Lea.. Where are you, baby?" call the woman.
"Tuch.. Mamiii.tuch.." said the little girl slurred as she pointed at the woman.
Chris just looked at it from behind.
"Excuse me!" greet Chris.
Turns out...
"You?" said the woman.
"Sally." said Chris quietly.
"Mommy.. Mamii." said Lea, asking to change hands with me.
"Where are you from, baby? My mom just looked at me for a while you were gone. Don't be like that again, will you? Mommy's worried." I said to Lea.
He answered a nod from her.
I'll take Lea from Chris. I hugged and kissed my soulmate.
"So??" ask Chris.
"Hi Chris what's up? Yes, Lea my son." I replied.
"I am. yes as you see. This kid's face reminds me of someone" Chris said with a smile.
Chris looks curly. His face began to be decorated with mustache, sideburns and beard. Different than before.
"Who are you with?" tanyakanya.
"Just the two of us with Lea. Excuse me first." I said.
Chris actually wanted to stop Sally's steps, and wanted to linger with her.
But he still couldn't get started.

"Dean. I miss you so much. How are you doing there? Our son Lea is over 2 years old. The bigger the eyes and nose look like you. Eyes that always make me helpless with his gaze." I said to my beloved husband.
1 year ago Dean left us. He did not tell me about his illness.
It used to be that Dean's school became a closed and shy person. It was because of the illness he had. Until the incident in front of the class with me at that time. Slowly his spirit grew. A few years later he was declared healthy.
Until 2 years ago, it turned out that the disease had recurred. Dean never complained or anything. He always tried to look good in front of me. But it must end with his departure. At that time Lea was only one year old.
I was devastated at that time. I am not willing to lose my lover. Not to mention the fruit of our love that is still so small.
But I must rise for Leah. I don't think Dean wants me to keep wailing. My life is for Lea. Slowly the last few months I've only been able to accept Dean's departure.
Leah just looked at me and watched me.
By the time Dean found out I was pregnant with Lea, he was so happy. Especially when Lea was born. We enjoyed being parents. Well, although it doesn't last long. At least Dean had seen his beautiful daughter, the fruit of our love.
"Have a good rest, dear. I always loved you. I will always take care of my son. See you later when my time comes." I said, staring at Dean's picture on the tombstone.
Lea and I went from there. We walked to the place where our car was parked.

Chris knew all about Sally. There was not a single story about Sally that escaped her.
He wanted to comfort the girl he loved. But he doesn't know how. He was afraid he would make mistakes again.
Take a razor. He was robbed of his beard, sideburns, and mustache. After cleansing, her body was laid on the bed.
His longing for Sally has not gone away. Moreover, after this afternoon accidentally met at the supermarket. Makes his longing grow.
***
The sound of my doorbell ringing.
"Hi Tom! Come on in." I said to Tom.
Lea knew Tom. Tom met her a few times. Tom came to cheer me up and play with Lea.
When we played three...
"Sally.. Can I keep waiting for you?" said Tom.
"Hmm..you mean?" I was surprised by his sudden question.
"I still and always love you. Can I be a father to Leah?" tom asked while looking at me.
"I just need an answer if there's still a chance for me to wait for you. I don't care how long it takes. I'm willing to wait until you're ready." continued Tom.
"Tom. I can't promise anything. Right now, my life is only to raise Lea as best I can. I don't know what will happen later." I replied.
"I don't want to talk about that for now. Sorry Tom." I said again.
"Ok" replied Tom briefly

This morning at my desk was a pile of chocolate.
"The sweet taste of chocolate can soothe a troubled heart. Eat as much as you want." It was written inside the card that was attached between the chocolates.
From that mysterious person. A few times a month someone sent it. And this has been going on for a few years.
