Looks like picking up and dropping off Austin has become Alvaro's routine this week. Austin seemed to like Alvaro very much, from the man he found the father figure he had longed for. The cold-faced man seemed to understand what Austin wanted. So no wonder in such a short time they look so close.
But it looks like for a while Austin will miss Alvaro. Because the man is going back to his country. There are some jobs that require his presence there.
"Uncle's driving me wrong, right?" ask Austin while chewing the bread that has been coated with jam.
"Yes, but there's something uncle wants to tell you."
"What is uncle?"
"Uncle will return to uncle's country today. So when you get home from school, uncle's man will pick you up."
Austin did not reply, he looked at Alvaro with a gloomy face. He just got comfortable with Alvaro. But it turns out that his uncle will also leave him like Kenji.
"Uncle bored here?" ask Austin.
Alvaro. "There's an uncle's job there that requires an uncle's presence. But uncle will be back here soon after uncle's work is done." promised Alvaro.
"Uncle promise?"
"Of course." said Alvaro while gently rubbing the top of Austin's head.
"Aren't you coming home this afternoon?" asked Iren who had just walked into the dining room.
"Yes, you're ready. We take Austin the same." said Alvaro.
It just so happened that Iren was able to leave during the day, so it didn't matter if he had to drive Austin first. Usually he avoids Alvaro for a thousand reasons. This time the exception, because today Alvaro will leave for his country.
The face of sumringah Austin while holding the hands of his mother and father into the school yard made Iren think again about his decision. Austin so craved a whole family like other friends.
"What a promise to come home soon, right?" austin asked as soon as he arrived in front of the class. Making Iren gawk at the two men. Papa's? It wasn't that just now in the car the boy called Alvaro, uncle. Then why now papa?
"Will your father go abroad, Austin?" ask the miner beside Austin.
Austin was proud. "You want to be brought by my father?" ask Austin to the boy. The boy nodded quickly.
"Well my papa will definitely bring you some, won't you?" ask Austin while looking at Alvaro.
"Of course" said Alvaro with a smile.
"Insimpress pa." Autin hugged Alvaro's body tightly, Alvaro took the hug warmly. The boy's eyes looked dewy, as a clear grain almost trickled down the corner of his eye. Quickly the boy wiped it. Iren was stunned to see that, his heart felt like it was in a sharp iris, feeling sore and poignant. Was he too selfish all this time, to the point of not realizing how much Austin needed Alvaro by his side.
"Come in, papa has to go." said Alvaro as he took off his arms. The boy nodded and ran inside. At first glance Iren saw Austin's tears dripping down his cab's cheeks. Iren was really hit by that.
Because he did not bring his own car, Iren in between Alvaro to his office. "I'll take Austin, don't be too hard on him. You know we don't owe him that much" Alvaro said.
Iren looked at the man beside her carefully. 'Titip? He's also my son.' Inner Iren.
"What's wrong? You're not happy with my words?"
"Not displeased, just hearing that sentence come out of big brother's mouth. Sounds weird to me. I have not forgotten how my sister doubted my pregnancy. No one touched me at the time." Sahut Iren was still with his fixed gaze.
Amvaro took a deep breath. "I'm sorry about that, but I'm really sorry about what I've been saying for almost five years. Iren there are a lot of plans in my head for us and Austin. But baby, you chose to make it happen with someone else. Honestly, I don't accept it, and want to take you by force. But at the end of the day, I thought a lot that my feelings were no longer important. For me right now, Austin is more important than anything" Alvaro said.
But he wanted to enjoy this game first. At least Alvaro must get a reward for the misery Iren suffered so far.
"How's mama doing?" tanya Iren switched the conversation.
"Mingkin's fine. If anything happens to mom she'll call me." Alvaro said flatly.
"Maybe? How long have you not been communicating?"
Alvaro did not immediately reply, he looked at Iren with a smile. "Yourselves, how long have you not seen my mother? Mama filled your departure like crying for her own son. But you didn't even tell mom once."
Iren bowed. "That's because I'm avoiding big brother."
"You're great at hiding. I can't even find your trace. Did Glen rent you a private jet so it's untraceable?"
Iren shook his head, making Iren frown his flow in wonder. There have been no flights on their behalf for five years.
"Why did you go abroad?"
"Ship."
"What?! That's right!"
"I'm not lying. We went on a freighter. There's a ship of acquaintance of Glen's that happens to be leaning there and will sail this country. Brother Glen knows, if you use a plane, you can track me down." Obviously Iren.
Alvaro laughed and looked at Iren. "Sneaky ground, I haven't given Glen any calculations. So he can calm down now." he said.
"Janga gagagu him, I'm the one who made him do that. At that time I was desperate, I was afraid that big brother would force me to abort my womb. I think that's the only way out for me. You know, I don't have anyone to ask for help other than Glen."
"I still think he's guilty. By the way, you and Kenji, can't you think about it anymore?"
"What is thought. We've been close for a few years. My situation he knows too. Then what to think. He loved Austin very much. That's the most important thing.
Alvaro clenched his fingers tightly, trying to control his angry feelings. Imagining her woman at the touch of another man makes her unable to not feel angry.
"You don't know what his family is like. They are not the same as us. Maybe Kenji can accept you. Not necessarily with his family. I'm sure your engagement wasn't known to Kenji's family, was it?" guess Alvaro.
"He was willing to leave everything if indeed his family did not accept me." said Iren very casually.
"Can't be so Ir..."
"It's over." Cut Iren while staring out the window. Their car stopped right in front of Iren's office.
"I'll go down first. Big brother be careful on the road." said Iren before moving down.
Alvaro just silently looked at the pretty face of Iren. Even when the girl had gotten off and the car had already sped up, her gaze was still fixed on the girl.
As there was something missing in his heart, there was also a pain that pierced his heart. But he could only sigh without being able to do anything. Is she that weak now?
