Look at me, Delilah

Fall in Love

"I will arrange a visitation schedule for you" Nayaka said.

"I want to be with him every day."

"Can't be, Del. You know how hurt Kyomi was when she found out that you were the mother who threw her away."

"I'm sorry, but don't tell me I threw it away" Delilah asked.

"That's the truth, isn't it?"

Delilah just shut up. He does not want to discuss the past, rather too tired to argue with Nayaka again.

"I agree" said Delilah.

"One more condition" said Nayaka.

"Otherwise?"

"Don't interfere in my personal matters. I don't want you to keep me close to anyone, including the woman I want to approach right now."

"Sister!" delilah.

"What?" challenge Nayaka with a voice no less loud. "We broke up, what else do I expect from you?"

"You want to be with Angel? You want to make her a companion? Listen, Nayaka. I don't want Kyomi to have a new mother."

"The new mother is better than the real mother. If I can't get married, then so must you. But what is the evidence? You're getting married, right? With a rich man and certainly worth your degree."

"Enough!" delilah. "We're talking about Kyomi."

"You're the one who fished it. Do you accept it or not?" ask Nayaka. "I don't have to kick you out again if you agree to my terms."

"You forgot me?"

"You deserve to be forgotten, don't you?"

Delilah nodded. "Well, I agree that you can stay with Kyomi."

Nayaka looked at Delilah for a moment, he pulled the doorknob, then walked out of the woman's study. Delilah sat on the sofa. He is allowed to see Kyomi, but Nayaka gives a tough condition.

"You want to be with Angel?" Delilah smiled cynically. "You can't, Nayaka. You are mine and forever is mine."

Nayaka did not know if the decision he made was right. If obeyed after the betrayal of Delilah, surely he would not give permission for the woman to be close to Kyomi.

However, back again if Delilah there is a mother who gave birth to her daughter. She has the right to take care of Kyomi, and this Nayaka does is for Delilah to abandon her intention to take custody of the child.

On that matter, Nayaka is not sure he won if Delilah to make a claim. Nayaka doesn't want to lose her daughter and taking care of Kyomi together doesn't seem like a bad idea.

The fighting will also decrease. At least Delilah will not continue to disturb his life. It is also not good for Kyomi to see and hear the quarrel between her father and mother.

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

During the break, Nayaka goes to pick up Kyomi at school. The first day and the child has not had a solid activity. With Angel, the three of them immediately slid into the house.

"Tell Papa your first day of school" said Nayaka.

"Kyomi is acquainted with all the classmates and they don't understand my language."

"Use the Indonesian language, dear."

"He fits in at an international school" Angel said.

"But I want her to remain a simple girl. You also know that I can't afford the cost."

The deal with Delilah is already in place. Nayaka could have asked her to send Kyomi to a good place, but Nayaka wouldn't have done that. He did not want to be called a beggar anymore. Delilah will only act as a mother who gives affection to her daughter.

Nayaka smiled looking at Kyomi. "Something Papa wants to talk to you about."

"What's that?" ask Kyomi.

"Kyomi change clothes first and take a shower. After you get home from work, Papa's gonna talk to you."

Kyomi nods, then leaves in front of Nayaka and Angel. After Kyomi enters the room, Nayaka can talk to Angel. She is a helpful friend and woman at the moment, and Nayaka feels compelled to talk to her.

"Me and Delilah have agreed" Nayaka said.

"What?" ask Angel.

"We agreed to babysit Kyomi together."

Angel was silent for a moment, and then she smiled. "You're back together?"

If it's true, extinct is Angel's hope. He used to put his heart on Nayaka and now so does. However, that love seemed to be clapping one hand again.

Nayaka shakes. "No, but I allowed Delilah to see Kyomi. She's his mother, right?"

Nayaka did not want to explain the reason he struck a deal with Delilah further. It was just that, and Angel was happy that Nayaka was talking about this to her. That means, he was special in front of the man.

"I won't come here again" said Angel.

"Don't say that. Kyomi will be looking for you. You are his friend and he is close to you. I'll arrange a schedule for Delilah's arrival."

Angel once wanted to tell Nayaka if Delilah had threatened her. It was unexpected that the woman managed to prevent her move from getting closer to Kyomi and Nayaka.

"I'll come if you want me to" said Angel.

Nayaka grabbed Angel's hand, then patted her. "Thank you for your help all along."

"Little help only" said Angel.

Whether this is good or bad news, Angel clearly feels she will soon lose Kyomi. Delilah is indeed the child's mother, but Angel is already so close to Kyomi.

"Angel!" nayaka Tegur.

Angel jerks. "Yes, what's wrong?"

"I have to go back. You take care of Kyomi for a second, yeah."

"Yes, don't worry about that."

Nayaka smiled as her hand rubbed Angel's head. "Thank you."

Anyone would feel special if treated that way. Angel's heart beats very fast, and she doesn't want to deny having fallen in love with Nayaka.
