The past gap

A small child, despite the watchful eyes of his guards, ran across the crowded street that afternoon. Making a car horn shout as well as a motorbike sounded noisy, messing up the streets. Evan was crying in fear, until someone chose to pull over his car, down approached him.

But from the front, a speeding motorcycle is not able to control its speed. Just a few meters away barely hit Evan just fixated with his cry, lucky someone suddenly clenched and brought him to the edge. Until he himself fell to hold the weight of Evan's body on it.

Arrghhh.jerit a woman who saw the horror of the incident. Then immediately ran up to him full of worry.

"Evan..are you papa dear?" Hana immediately grabbed the little boy's body into his arms. While Evan was still crying in fear, he hugged Hana tightly back.

"Sorry Auntie yes, the aunt did not see you run," he said regretting his boredom. Hana's gentle strokes slowly made Evan calm, leaving behind a sobbing that looked very pitiful.

"Thank you, my niece," said Hana staring at the annoyed look on the man's face. The face he had seen a few days ago.

"Other times take good care," he said with his forehead.

"So I was really late," she still blames herself. The man got up without seeing his injured arm.

"Mas' arm is injured, it's best to treat first," Hana said seeing the wide-ranging scratch.

"No need," the man replied, leaving.

Wasn't he the guy Mas Roman talked to at the party yesterday... Hana began to remember clearly, staring at her steps that were increasingly disappearing from view.

"Evan...are you papa dear?" kinar yelled at him, only to hear the news of the incident when he left from a store buying mineral water.

"Sorry Mba, my brother called. Evan slipped out of my hand, ran away. I'm the one who tipped off Mba" said Hana feeling guilty.

"Evan is not this papa." replied Kinara while reaching for Evan's body.

"It's a good thing there was that person who was nolong," pointed Hana towards Jay's disappearance.

"I was also wrong, Evan left too long ago," Kinar hugged his son's body warmly, grateful for God's protection.

"Evan is tired, I want to bring him back" said Kinar.

"Yes Mba...Mba carefully. Once again I'm sorry, but don't call Evan to play with me again yes mba," pinta Hana.

"Yes, I'm not even fond of someone who really loves Evan."

Kinar stepped with Evan in his arms, heading for the bus stop to get home.

And not long after, a car pulled over to approach Hana.

"Why is it so pale?" hana's face that left pale from the panic was not spared from Roman's vision.

"So freaked out, my daughter almost got hit by a motorcycle. Because I was late, the phone call from Mas even forgot to take care of the little boy," said Hana recounted.

"How is it going?"

"No papa, there was a nolongin earlier," replied Hana still look moody.

"Yes.kemarin, who did Mas Roman speak to at the hotel?"

"She's my friend, it's been a long time. Jay's name. Indeed why?"

"He was the one who nolongin Evan."

Roman furrowed his brows, "Evan...?"

"Yes, my daughter's name is Evan."

"Temen do you have children?"

"Yes.at age with me, maybe he married young. Evan's been almost four years."

"Ooo..."

Their conversation stopped, Roman was not so interested in the discussion about Evan.

Hana's footsteps tumbled toward the towering building where Angga worked. Carry a mini paper bag containing external wound medicines.

"Excuse me Mba..here is an employee whose name is Jay?" ask her at the reception.

"Jay which yes mba, as far as I don't exist."

"Just yesterday with Mr. Angga," Hana was confused, she did not know who Jay was.

"Tumben you're here so early, what's up?"sela Angga smiled happily.

"I'm going to tell Mas Jay, please give this to him," Hana put the paper bag in her hand, convinced that Angga knew her.

"What's this?" the look on Angga's face changed instantly.

"Drug.kemarin Mas Jay nolongin my daughter, she was hurt quite wide," little Hana explained.

"Can't you?" Angga tried to explore further.

"The story will be, I'm in a hurry to go to campus," replied Hana looking at the clock that was coiled around her wrist, nervous.

"Wait..!" Angga held Hana down quickly.

"Mas.I'm late," whined Hana.

"News now, are you the same Jay?" his insistence.

"There's nothing, it's just a coincidence that he's Evan, my daughter's daughter," Hana's face looks upset.

"Not usually you're so considerate," full of suspicion.

"He was hurt because I was wrong. Anyway if there's anything, what's the same thing with you?" hana's gaze sharpened, annoyed with Angga's attitude. Then stepped away leaving him growling in the heart.

You don't know Hana either...

"I'm at the resort now?" said Jay who suddenly appeared in the midst of Angga's emotions.

"Ni.drug for you," gave the drug roughly into Jay's hands.

"Whose medicine?" Jay was astonished by the boss's attitude.

"The medicine of a girl who cares about you very much," said Angga while waltzing away.

Jay was silent, trying to find his own answer. Until the memory of the girl, the same girl at the party yesterday. The beautiful girl who came with Roman.

"Ooh.apparently he is," he muttered smilingly.

Elsewhere Kinar prepares with his new job. After his appointment with Ms. Ira, he decided to accept the job. It's just that he didn't take Miss Ira and Evan with him. Because Evan was just enrolled in a school.

"You be careful.keep yourself well," said Ira.

"Yes Ma'am.After the work was done, I went straight home," Kinar felt heavy leaving Evan. The time to accompany him was less and less.

"If you're tired of staying there. It's just temporary. After the project is over you go back to the hotel" said Ira.

"Yes Mom..." Kinar kissed the back of Bu Ira's hand and then hugged and kissed Evan affectionately.

"Darling Mother.don't be naughty. Same grandma, mom came home last night. But I'm definitely going to have video calls, ok...?" Kinar tried hard in front of his son, even though his heart felt so heavy.

"Mother don't be long peginya.." whining Evan who actually also did not want to part with the mother for long. But the persuasion of the grandmother in various ways made it melt.

Kinar's heavy steps lead him to the hotel parking lot, to the car that will take him to the resort project where his new job is. Never thought there would be a car with the man.

"Come in." said Roman who had been waiting for Kinar long enough.

"I'm sorry.long wait," said Kinar.

"No papa." replied Roman flatly.

There is no meaningful conversation during the trip, they are busy with their respective thoughts. Until finally Kinar opened the chat.

"My debt.maybe I can just take the moon tomorrow," one reason that made Kinar agree to the job.

"As for you, I don't give you a deadline" Roman replied.

"Thank you.." The conversation lasted less than five minutes, Kinar focused on his screen. Shifting gallery contents. Looking at his son's funny portrait. Roman who focused on the wheel, had a glance. I saw the photo of the little boy.

"Who is that little boy? Could it be his son? Is he married, or...? those question sentences were crammed into his head. Demands to look further.

And at the project site there, Jay was already busy with his work. Supervise every activity of the workers, especially the logistics part that is prone to fraud.
