Look at me, Delilah

Counteracts

Nayaka smiled at the arrival of an old friend. Fortunately their communication was not cut off even though Nayaka had been living abroad for a long time. The two often share the news even though they only greet each other or wish each other a happy day of celebration that Nayaka celebrates in the land of people.

"Difficulty finding my address?" ask Nayaka.

The sweet lady nodded. His body was small and not too tall. It is estimated that about one hundred and fifty centimeters. His skin is white, his nose is not too sharp, but the appearance of his face is not bored to be seen. Her thin lips always spread a sweet smile. His hair was straight and always ponytailed.

"I thought you were going to stay in Paris forever" Angel said.

Nayaka laughs. "No. My birthplace is here. Come on, come in."

Angel went inside. A little messy because Nayaka was decorating his house by sticking wallpaper to cover the old wall paint.

"Kyomi, here for a minute, honey," call Nayaka in French. Nayaka continues to use foreign languages when with his daughter to be more honed.

Kyomi stops her activity against the wall, then approaches the father. "He who?"

"Meet me, she's Aunt Angel" Nayaka said.

"Hi, Miss Angel," Kyomi said with a hand.

"Hello, Kyomi. Nice to meet you," Angel responded by welcoming the hand of little princess Nayaka.

"Kyomi just continue to stick to the wall. Papa talked to Aunt Angel" said Nayaka.

Kyomi nodded, then returned to work. Nayaka invites Angel to sit on the sofa.

"There is only bottled water" Nayaka said as she placed the mineral water on the table.

"No need to bother" said Angel. "Your daughter is beautiful just like her mother."

Angel knew that Nayaka was Delilah's lover even though the two had never spoken. Angel also remembered how jealous Delilah was to Nayaka who had a female friend. Before Nayaka called her first, Angel would never call or text her best friend.

Nayaka turned to Kyomi. "Yes, she's beautiful. I have to take extra care of her." Then, he turned to look at Angel. "I need your help. Kyomi has to go to school, but I have to work this Monday. Documents complete. Kyomi also has a birth certificate just for other completeness I don't have. It's a little complicated you know that. Kyomi's my son, but I'm not married."

"For school, don't worry. My aunt's the principal. We can ask for his help, but for other things I don't know either. You can put Kyomi on your family card" Angel suggested.

"How's state?" ask Nayaka.

"Yes, son," replied Angel. "But I don't know either."

"For this problem, first. I need help for Kyomi to go to school."

"Just calm. Kyomi can still go to school" Angel said. "Oh, can I help you decorate the house?"

"of course. We decorate the house together."

Kyomi is also happy with Angel. The name of the girl must be something to ask. The two even promised to shop for clothes together. It seems that Nayaka will soon be forgotten.

...****************...

Nayaka woke up at five in the morning. Today is his first day at the company. He has to make breakfast, preparing Kyomi who will also go with Angel to enroll in school.

"It's still too early, Papa," Kyomi grumbled.

"But you need to get ready, Kyomi. Papa has a lot of activities today. Take a shower, Papa will dress you up."

"No want. Cold," refused.

"Come, Kyomi. Don't argue."

Father and mother to a six-year-old child. Not to mention if facing the chatty Kyomi like now.

Kyomi came out wearing an underwear shirt and shorts. He sat down on the edge of the bed and Nayaka immediately combed his daughter's long hair.

"Oh, sick!" shout Kyomi.

"Papa has said that if you can't take care of your hair, cut it off" Nayaka said, then apply hair oil on Kyomi's head.

"Papa comb it slowly."

"It's been slow. Your hair is just tangled."

"Kyomi wants to wear bando" he said.

"Your hair is neat if it's braided in two."

"But Kyomi wants to wear a bando."

"Tomorrow," said Nayaka kekeh. "We have breakfast first. Aunt Angel is coming. It's not good to make him wait too long."

Time passes so fast. It felt like the sun had not appeared yet, and now the weather out there was already bright. The sound of a call was heard from outside because Nayaka had opened the door so that Angel could enter immediately.

"Thank God you've come. It's my first day of work. I don't want to be late. I'm taking Kyomi, yeah. When you sign up, leave it. Kyomi used to live alone" Nayaka said.

"I think you need a guard, Nay. It's not Paris here, let alone leaving Kyomi at home" Angel said.

Nayaka nodded. "Yes, I'll look for her" she replied, then hugged Kyomi. "Papa go first. Kyomi don't be naughty."

"Okay, Papa," he replied by giving a kiss on the cheek.

...****************...

"Is the position in the marketing division already filled?" ask Delilah.

"Already, Mom. He is in the personnel section. Would you like to be appointed as a direct marketing manager in place of Mr. Dedi?" ask Nela, secretary of Delilah.

"No, he hasn't worked here for a long time. Bring the man here. I'd like to see and interview in person."

"But he was accepted. This is the CV of the father ...."

The knock on the door broke Nela's sentence. Delilah invites people out there to come in. Apparently the reception guy who came.

"I brought ...."

"Oh, just tell me to come in. You can go," Delilah sidestepped.

"Come in" said the man.

With an expanding smile, Nayaka walked into Delilah's room. However, that smile turned into a shock. The door was closed by two outgoing Delilah employees. Delano Jewerly is a jewelry company that Delilah founded. Delano is an abbreviation for Delilah, Dila, and Dion.

"I got the wrong company" said Nayaka.

"Stop right there!" delilah said when Nayaka wanted to leave.

"I won't bother you anymore. I don't know if this is your company!" Nayaka.

Delilah got up from her chair, she walked over. "Well, how are you?"

"You can see for yourself. I haven't died after being beaten up by your thugs."

"I just don't want you to look for me."

"Why don't you just finish me off, Delilah? You can make them kill me and Kyomi."

"You don't know how I feel!" shout Delilah. "I don't think we're together. Can I set up my own business? Can I make my family proud? It's not a matter of money, brother. I felt like my life was over when I gave birth to Kyomi. My youth has been taken. That's how I feel, brother."

"What about Kyomi? She needs a mother. Love of a mother. Where are your thoughts, Delilah? You'll soon even be a wife. You're gonna be a mother."

"From the beginning I shouldn't have obeyed your curiosity. I should have aborted my fetus at the time" Delilah said.

"Is it because his father is incapable? That, right, makes you hide our relationship. From the beginning you shouldn't be with me!"

"Shut up!" delilah. "You dare yell at me?"

"Who are you until I always have to obey you? I'm not the Nayaka I used to be, Delilah. I'll fight you!"

Nayaka pulls the door, then exits her ex-boyfriend's study. Delilah could not do anything because the quarrel later would make a rowdy whole office.
