Love, Let it Get Lost

The perfect family

I went downstairs to look for Kara, then I found her still swimming with her Opa and accompanied Oma by the pool by holding a towel in her arms.

I approached them at the pool.

“Not finished swimming her?” I asked Mama who was smiling happily to see Kara and her husband in the middle of the pool.

“Not” replied Mama while smiling happily.

“Thank you Ma, it's been so good to me and Kara, I feel like I have a family back” I said as I looked at Mama Nicko with my day.

“Nak. We will always be your family no matter what. Mama and Papa will always be there for you when you need them, so please, never go again ya” said Mama Nicko.

“Iya Ma” answered me with a smile and hugged her.

Kara and Papa finally rise to the surface, and Mama immediately gives the towel to her husband, and dresses Kara with her other towel.

“Have finished his swim?” Ask Mama while rubbing Kara's body with a towel.

“Oma”

“Cara happy?” Ask her again.

Kara replied with a nod of her head.

“Later Kara has to play here often yes, and later Oma and Opa will invite Kara to play to the amusement park”

“Amusement park?!” Kara exclaimed with her eyes round.

“Iya. Kara want?”

“Mau Omaa” then Kara immediately hugged Mama Nicko happily.

I was very happy, seeing their happiness, just suppose this situation will be met also one day when all the truth will be revealed, but, is it possible?

“Please, den Nicko already want to go home” said a maid who approached us.

Mama frowned and immediately stood up and walked quickly into the house.

I'm confused, why did Nicko come home? Is he no longer here?

Then I brought Kara into the house by wrapping around Kara's body with a towel. I walked into the living room and found Nicko and his mother arguing in the middle of the living room.

“At least eat first Son, Mama has prepared for us to eat with” said Mama Nicko.

Kara and I stopped to listen to their conversation from afar.

“I no need important Ma, I can be late”

Then I came to think back to Nicko's schedule today.

“Nak. Eat first, long time you do not go home”

“Later. I'll come back here if my job is done”

Her mother wanted to hold her back but like her she couldn't, then Nicko was about to walk away regardless of her Mama's wishes.

“Nicko” call me make Nicko stop walking and stare at me.

I walked up to Nicko and Mama while holding Kara.

“We eat first, for your meeting schedule let me handle it, I will accompany the meeting” said I coldly stared at him.

“No need, I can go now” he said with about to leave.

“Nicko!” call me once more in such a creepy tone.

He stopped his steps, and turned his body staring at me so lazily.

Nicko turned his face away in annoyance and with a face so forced he walked back into the house by passing me and Mama without speaking .

Mama was smiling and seeing Nicko listening to me like a child.

“Funny yes. Nicko if he has met you he looks back like a child” he said.

I could only smile stiffly at Mama's words and go straight to my room to give Kara clothes.

I had finished changing Kara's clothes in the room, I had Kara's seat on the bed, and I knelt before her to comb Kara's wet hair.

Kara noticed the wall behind her.

“Kok many photos of Mama and Om Nicko here?” Ask Kara.

Suddenly I was confused to answer Kara's question.

“Oh yes it...” replied I was trying to find an answer.

“Because Mama and Om Nicko are good friends since we were little”

“Iya darling” answer me.

Then Kara and I went back down and headed to the dinner table to join the others there. I saw Mama, Papa and Nicko sitting at the dinner table in silence.

“Hay dear” greet Mama by pulling a chair beside her.

“Sini sits next to Oma” Mama told Kara.

I helped Kara sit in the chair that Mama had provided and then I sat next to her.

Nicko sat next to Papa who was right in front of me.

“Let's eat” said Papa immediately started our lunch event.

I put Kara's food and side dishes into her plate, followed by everyone at the dinner table and put food on their plates.

“Nicko how about Kirana?” Ask Mama Nicko who makes me jerk silently for a moment.

I went back and took food and pretended not to hear it.

Nicko seemed to glance at me for a moment and his face turned so lazy.

“Today I've had a meeting with his family about the Royal Choice” housekeeping

“Then?” Ask her mother again.

“Everything went smoothly” answered him by starting to put food into his mouth.

“Good, hopefully you can handle all well”

“This is also thanks to Fawnia”, Nicko said, making Mama and Papa look at me at the same time, and making me clumsy.

“Yesterday Fawnia took part in a meeting with us, and Mr. Handoko agreed more with the decision set by Fawnia”, Nicko said, sounding as if he was proud of my presence yesterday.

“Really?” Ask Papa in disbelief.

“I just put forward an opinion only Pa, and it just so happens that Mr. Handoko agrees with my opinion” said I straighten out.

I don't want to look prominent in the Kirana family.

“You are smart, son, you bring down the talent of Jordy, Papa mu”, Papa Nicko said.

I smiled so wryly at him. And I glanced at Mama, smiling so proudly at me, and then I went back to eating seriously.

I don't know, did Mama and Papa know about my gossip at the property company? But they don't seem to know my skewed gossip about my company's problems.

After the meal ended, Kara and I went home outside the house.

“Bye Ma, I will definitely always play here with Kara” saying goodbye to me while hugging Mama.

“Hust. You should come home as often as possible with Kara” said Mama.

“Iya” answer me with a smile.

“Pamit used to be the same Oma and Opa dear” pinta me to Kara.

Then Kara kissed the back of Oma and her Opa hands sweetly.

“Oma,Opa Kara go home first ya” part.

Then Nicko walked from the house to all of us.

“Ma,Pa. I say yes too, I want to meet” immediately said he while kissing his parents' cheeks.

“Om Nicko want to go?” Ask Nicko.

Nicko held Kara.

“Iya. Om Nicko should work first”

“Om Nicko when to play again with Kara?”

I looked at Kara with fret.

“Iya. Later Om will definitely play again with Kara yes, Om will contact Kara” soon

“Appointment?” Kara asked with her index finger.

I was surprised by the promise that Kara asked. The Pledge was a promise I've always made with Nicko since we were kids. If other people always wear pinkies to make promises, Nicko and I use our index fingers to look different.

Nicko smiles looking at Kara's index finger and hooks her index finger on Kara's tiny index finger. Nicko looked at me as if he had caught me still perpetuating our past well to Kara. I turned my face away so that my worried face would not be seen.

“Janji” replied Nicko with a smile to Kara.
