JUST HUG ME FOR A SECOND

Don't Leave Excuses

After playing in the Timezone. Aluna and Caroline take a walk back to the mall. They shopped a lot of things happily together with Manuela, Liam and Kyu. They were so happy that day. Unknowingly the day had started late afternoon but Aluna and Caroline were still engrossed in playing in the mall.

Aluna was very happy with Caroline. She felt the same Aura between Caroline and Evan, Aluna was very comfortable beside her. He's like Evan, he can make someone feel safe with him. The same sincerity that Evan had. And the same warm eyes too.

They began to feel tired and decided to sit temporarily on a bench in the mall while enjoying their order. Then they continue their journey, until they stop at a jewelry store that looks quite attractive to Aluna. Aluna looked at him for a moment. Suddenly Caroline cried out.

"We go in, yuk," Caroline took Manuela and Liam by the hand to a jewelry store. At the same time they saw jewelry that was on display in the storefront

"This is beautiful, Buk," pointed Aluna at one of the models with diamond-eyed bracelets.

"Beauty, baby. You likey?" ask Caroline. Aluna replied with a nod and a smile.

Caroline without saying much again immediately called the jeweler's maid to take out the bracelet and hold it in her hand.

"I take 2," said Caroline, who made Aluna frown.

"For you 1, for Ibuk 1. We wear the same," he explained, which made Aluna smile in agreement. She started to like her husband's mother. Turns out he's a good guy. Aluna was comfortable with him. He doesn't talk much like Evan. But when he is near, he can tell a lot.

Aluna and Caroline are enjoying their time together. So did Manuela, Liam and Kyu. Caroline was very kind and very affectionate to her three grandchildren.

For a moment Aluna gets a vidio call from Evan. Aluna was confused as to how. If he lifts up he's afraid Evan will get angry. But turning it off is also impossible. Evan must be worried because he left without permission until this magrib. Aluna hesitantly raised the video call. He was looking for a place a little far away.

"Yes, baby," replied Aluna.

"Where are you? I'm not home" asked Evan. Evan is aware of Aluna's existence. "You're at the mall? You brought the kids? Same who?" evan asked worriedly considering Aluna was a very riweh person if she had to bring her three children alone. Considering her nannies are all home.

"I ... I ... Same ...," Aluna's speech was cut off when Caroline suddenly came.

"Yep, Lun. It's all, right," said Caroline who made Evan across the street shocked when she realized who Aluna was going with.

"Wait for me there. I'll pick you up," Evan said quickly and turned off his vidio call.

Aluna panicked. Caroline looked calm.

Evan did not come long. Aluna immediately approached her about to explain everything, she did not want Evan to be angry.

"Van, I found your mother today because tomorrow she will come home" Aluna explained. Evan doesn't care if he pulls Aluna away without caring about Caroline's whereabouts, just as Evan is about to leave Caroline calls him back.

"Can't we have a good-bye before I leave?" caroline asked still seemed calm even though she was actually holding tightness in her chest as hard as she could.

Evan was caught in his footsteps. Then he turned around, he saw that the bracelet he was wearing was the same as the one Aluna was wearing at the moment. Evan soon learns that the bracelet Aluna is wearing is Caroline's bracelet. Without Aluna guessing, Evan immediately opened the bracelet.

"Go away, and make sure no one is left behind so there is no reason for you to come back again" Evan said, handing Aluna's bracelet to Caroline's hand.

"I'm sorry, I left you then. If I can turn the time back, then ... I will stick with my choice first. Because by leaving you here you can find your happiness," she cried with tears. While pulling his hand from the grasp of Evan who was handing back the bracelet given earlier to Aluna.

Evan remained unconcerned as he pulled Aluna back and held Liam and Manuela to follow them. Caroline stared at the passing of Evan and his little family. Suddenly, a plan came from Caroline.

"At least say thank you to me" exclaimed Caroline who managed to stop Evan's steps.

Evan who had been trying hard to calm down became hooked again. He flipped his body and looked at Caroline back with a sharp look of dislike.

"Thank you for how bad I was, I gave birth to you. I saved your son. At least express your gratitude to me," challenge Caroline to try to master the situation. Evan smiled at her sinister smile.

"Thank you!" Said Evan coldly. And turn around and prepare to leave.

"I said thanks. That means you have to pay me something" Caroline said.

Evan turned back and frowned.

"You ... Blackmailing me?" Evan started thinking badly.

"Dining. I want us to have dinner. I choose the place and I will pay. You just come," Caroline said, confusing Evan.

"Give me one night. After that I'll go. Because there's nothing left here that's why I came back," Caroline said showing the bracelet that Evan returned to her with a trembling voice holding back her tears. His heart ached but he still wanted to be with his son, at least for a while.

Evan did not answer Caroline's statement. He left with his wife and son without a word. While Caroline was sitting limp while crying alone on the floor of the mall without caring for a few eyes is now watching her. He is the center of attention at the moment. Until a mall visitor approached him and tried to calm him down.

***

In the car Evan continued to drive without a word from earlier. Even at home, he still did not speak.

Aluna was starting to feel scared. He called Dea right away.

"De', come here, yes,"

"Why else, Lun?"

"here anyway. Evan was angry because he met his mother at the mall. I'm at home just like the kids, Daddy again in Bali has not come home."

"Ngerepotin," Dea wrote before turning off the phone.

A few moments Dea came. Aluna started to feel calm. He greeted Dea with joy. Although welcomed Dea with his face in the bend.

SERIATE....
