INCEPTIONS
Chapter 20's
Still at the same cafe. Fina was still unaware of Kenneth at the Cafe. The woman called her personal driver to pick her up immediately. He came out of the Cafe, standing in front of the Cafe waiting for the invitation to come.
While Kenneth was getting glued to sit inside the Cafe. Look at his mother and his car alternately. While thinking, did Fina want him to take her home together. His mother would reject him as usual.
Kenneth shook his head, removing that desire. But his heart was moved to do that. Kenneth finally stood up, walking out of the Cafe after paying for his meal.
The man stood far from Fina's reach, still looking at Fina without blinking.
Suddenly he shrieked softly when he saw someone accidentally bumping into his mother. The cup containing coffee from the man's grasp also hit his mother's clothes. The man hurriedly apologized, offering a tissue to clean his mother's dirty clothes.
Fina shook her head, Kenneth knew her mother was feeling uneasy.
Kenneth decided to approach his mother after seeing the man leave. The man stepped slowly towards Fina, thrusting his handkerchief at Fina.
Fina glanced at the handkerchief, then turned to look at the owner. While Kenneth raised his face, looking at his mother who was now staring at him flatly.
"Let's not let mom's clothes get dirty". Kenneth said with a faint smile.
Fina remained silent. His ego was bigger than he had imagined. But Kenneth did not stay silent, the man pulled Fina's hand, clutching his handkerchief at Fina. He then smiled faintly, passing by with heavy steps.
While Fina was silent, the woman stared at her old handkerchief. To roll a glance at Kenneth who was still standing near the car, smiling at him. The woman took turns staring at the handkerchief and her son.
Until her invitation came, Fina squeezed the handkerchief. Walked past Kenneth just like that.
Once again Fina saw her son through the car glass, still looking at him with a smile that never stopped.
Fina's car drove out of the Cafe area, leaving Kenneth with his silencing. The man smiled bitterly, squeezing his hands in frustration.
He chuckles small. "No papa, maybe next time". Monologue with a small snort.
Believe not believe. Only that sentence was able to balance the pseudo expectations he experienced. For him, his parents' bondage during this time was time. Time for him to fix himself. Time for him to seek his identity. Time for him to relax. It was always in Kenneth's mind. Until the right time. The moments he waited for would come. He just needs to be happy with them.
About when it happened. Kenneth just needs to wait. And hope there's a miracle of time that he hopes it hastened. For her life to be perfect, and her life to be happy.
There will be no more hatred. No more rejection for reasons he doesn't know. And there will be no more 'unconsidered' words that haunt him always.
He just wants to live a normal life like everyone else. Without any faults and resentments he was experiencing now.
Kenneth entered his car quietly. His mind was still raging about what he had done earlier. I think that's the best move. Things his mother who considered him like what would he tepis far away bad thoughts. And hope Fina will do the same.
Not to start it all, he had to fight from the small things.

Kenzo sat on the sofa in the living room, waiting for Kenneth who had not been home for three hours from the school bell. Although he knew Kenneth would not feel at home and choose to spend time outside. But still he was worried. Because, while in the school parking lot earlier, he did not find the whereabouts of Kenneth with his entourage of friends. Their formation was incomplete, there were only Bastian, Dylan, and Cameron.
When Kenneth's three friends were asked about the whereabouts of the man, they shook their heads not knowing. Although there is suspicion between them do not want to tell or really do not know. Their faces were so plain earlier, Kenzo had almost forgotten that they were really Kenneth's friends. The four of them seemed to have fused together and had one thing in common.
Equally hard to guess.
Door opens. Kenzo stood with a face, though a second later the man smiled wryly.
Not Kenneth. But his mother just came home from an event.
"Mama's home". Said Kenzo who stepped forward as Fina walked towards him.
"Yes. Sorry for a long time, it rained on the road". Answer Fina as it were.
"It's my mom cleaning up first baby". He continued walking towards the room.
Kenzo nodded. The man looked at his mother's back with a frown. His mother looked lethargic and not as cheerful as usual. Did his mother have any problems. Is her mother sick.
"Not papa?". Ask worried.
Fina paused, turned her body and then smiled broadly. "Mama is not papa. Oh yeah, you've eaten?".
Kenzo nodded his head, then looked back at his mother who was walking towards the room.
"Mama why?". Kenzo is confused. "Ahh Kenneth hasn't come home yet, this is mama why?". Kenzo ruffled his hair in frustration, taking his phone to call Kenneth.
One time not lifted.
Twice he refused.
Three times in lift.
"What's?".
"Where are you?, I didn't see your face in the group".
"eat".
"Lo can eat at Ken's house. Ken, we can enjoy your mama's cooking in your room, or in my room. Why are you eating out?".
"It's usually gini, right? What's wrong?".
"Ck! Yaudah dehh, straight home does that mean this is over?".
"No promise".
"Ahh you don't_".
The sudden connection was decided unilaterally, who else would have done it if not Kenneth.
Kenzo snorted, he then sat himself roughly onto the sofa. Moving his body to the left right lazily. Not forgetting the annoyance and rough grunts coming out of his lips.
On the other side Fina stood beside the door of her room, sticking her cheek on the door. He ruffled his hair in frustration, then took out a small cloth from inside his bag.
Kenneth's handkerchief.
That innocent and sad look suddenly flashed through his mind, without being forgotten what parts Kenneth had done earlier. Everything's still warm. About Kenneth saying a sentence. And about Kenneth giving this handkerchief.
In an instant it shattered a part of his heart, melting half of his ego which usually always rejected the presence of the child. Fina was very confused. What feelings did he experience when he saw Kenneth earlier. Why does he not refuse. Why isn't he angry. Why doesn't he just stay away. Why does his heart and body settle. As if to pave the way for the boy to come back in his life. After years of being forgotten by hatred. Why did the boy change his heart.
"Akh!!". Fina doesn't know. He threw the handkerchief.
