Love Does Not Come Too Late

Eating chicken

"Willi don't make much pity on her sick tantric leg" Raymond scolded his son, who kept moving while on Leah's lap.

"Mama Maura her legs hurt?, sorry ya." said William sweet while holding Lea's cheek. Raymond grieved in his heart, a young boy was already good at seducing.

"What Willi, Maura's adek, look at William make funny faces like that." Lea was also giggling to see William trying to make his daughter laugh, by changing her face.

"Piii .. laperrr." William put on a lethargic face while rubbing his stomach.

"So you haven't eaten at home?" asked Raymond in wonder.

"It was, but laper againii. We eat chicken yuk piii." William put on a hopeful face.

"Aunty's love is as good as last night, Will."

"Mama Maura is hungry, right .. isn't she?" William asked half forcefully.

Raymond looked at Lea with an uneasy feeling. Lea immediately understood the situation, she nodded in agreement.

"Yeeeiiiii, we're eating chicken opa. Maura wants some ice cream?, you'll buy me some ice cream." William was unceasingly cheering while hugging Maura.

Raymond's big black car broke into the parking area of the famous grandparent's fast food stall, which William always called chicken opa.

Once inside William brought Maura to a special playing area provided inside the booth.

"You find a seat first, let me order it. We haven't had time to eat on our way home either."

Lea nodded, choosing a place on the side of the glass near the children's play area to easily supervise.

Lea smiled looking at Maura who had just smoothly walked over, trying to chase after William who ran away avoiding her.

Sometimes William appears like a protector, when there are other children who will endanger Maura while playing.

Lea's attention was a little distracted when she saw a pair of men and women who were very familiar with her, coming out of one of the eating places that was still one area with the stalls she occupied now.

They walked hand in hand to the parking lot entering the car, and passed from Lea's sight.

There was a bit of pain that Lea felt when she saw Erik with Ghea walking together.

There may not have been a complete love in Leah's heart for Erik, but Erik was still her legal status as her husband.

Erik had initially given attention and love only to himself, but now he had to accept the fact that there were other women who also got it all.

As if something had been taken out of his heart, honestly the sense of loss existed.

Lea saw the message on her mobile phone, since she left until now there was no incoming message from her husband. Only from Nina, who apologized could not keep Maura today.

"Eat first." Raymond put a tray of plenty of food on the table. After that he headed to the play area, carried Maura and took William to wash their hands.

Lea looked at Raymond who was so quick to take care of trivial things for small children.

When the three of them returned Lea was still riveted, seeing Raymond sitting Maura in the baby chair (special baby chair) which was taken by William from the corner of the store.

"Mama Maura didn't wash her hands?" This time it was Raymond who asked in a mocking tone, with Lea's reddened face towards the sink.

When he returned Raymond looked painstakingly tore up chicken meat, so that his son could eat it more easily.

"Why?" asked Raymond who saw Leah still had not touched her food. Lea smiled, while still watching Raymond's hands that were still busy with William's chicken.

"Since William was a child, I myself took care of it, of course, helped Mbok Nah. So it's commonplace like this, there's no need to be fascinated like that."

"Great father," praised Lea sincerely. Bluusshhh. hot instantly Raymond's face heard Lea's words of praise, which although simple but able to make him out of focus.

The chicken meat that had been torn was given to William instead went into his own mouth.

"Piiii, that's my chicken" William protested scowling.

"Later on the change," said Raymond quickly.

"Where's William's mom?, uh .. I'm sorry to be so presumptuous." Lea could not help her curiosity.

Raymond looked at Lea, with all the past stories flowing from his lips.

"At the beginning of our marriage, I was nobody. I am just starting a business meeting with her who has become a famous model."

"Short story we decided to get married, apparently he who used to live a luxurious life can not stand a simple life with me."

"The height of my patience .. when I found him and another man in the bed we used to sleep in every night." Raymond looked at Lea. There was still anger in his eyes.

"I also dropped a talaq on him. If he does that outside the house, I still close my eyes. But I can't accept that William has to come to see his mother's rot" said Raymond.

Lea was stunned to hear the long story from her superior, it turned out to be more bitter than she had experienced.

"Ga need to be your gossip material in the office huh. If anyone else knows this story, it's certainly from you. Until the ant hole I'm looking for you." Lea grimaced to see Raymond's ferocious fashion return.

"Who was your husband?" suddenly asked Raymond. Lea did not expect that her boss had been watching Erik and Ghea since.

"Ghea" Lea said briefly, reluctant to talk about personal things with strangers even though it was her boss.

"The woman you were talking about this afternoon?" continued Raymond. Lea just nodded.

Seeing Lea's response, who did not want to discuss the household issue, Raymond decided not to continue the question.

"It's over?, we go home now. Poor kids too tired later." Raymond stood up and called out to the two boys who were still engrossed in play.

"Mama Maura, I'm sitting equally in the back may be yes," William asked as he was about to get into the car.

"Aunty who is behind the same adek yes, Willi in front of the same papi," bargained Lea.

"I want to sleeprr ... in front of the narrow." William returned to whining.

"Will!," Raymond's resolute voice made the handsome boy's tears begin to spread.

"Don't be angry, he's tired of being fussy. Ordinary kids are like that." Leah reminded Raymond who was about to continue the long verse to his son.

"Not crying. Willi can sit in the back equally adek, but promise not to jump around." Leah persuaded again.

After five minutes the car was running, the sound of laughter in the back bench was no longer heard.

Raymond glanced from the rearview mirror, his smile growing to see William and Maura asleep hugging each other.

In his heart praised Lea who was very responsive to face his son, which was sometimes very difficult to control his emotions.

The living room of Lea's house seemed to light up, Erik's sign had already arrived.

Raymond glanced at Lea who looked worried, "If there's anything don't hesitate to let me know. You kept my number, right?" Lea shook her head.

"Have worked three months you haven't saved your boss's number?" cetus Raymond sewot's.

"I've saved Kinanti and Mas Gilang numbers for office business" said Lea plain.

Raymond's face shriveled irritated because he felt Gilang was more advanced than himself, how not upset if he had already saved Lea's number first.

He mentioned a row of numbers quickly, "Save my number" said Raymond, who sounded more like a grumble.

"Already," said Lea, after making Raymond repeat many times mention his mobile number.

After saying thank you and taking Maura off the back bench, Lea slowly opened the door of her house.

"Why does the night come home once?, pity Maura can get sick with the night wind." Erik's voice stopped his steps.

"Sorry, my brother was ushered in a car so it's safe." Lea was about to continue her steps into the room, but Erik's voice interrupted her again.

"So since there's no car I left behind?"

"Sister!, please don't start again.I'm tired," lamented Lea.

Erik nodded slowly and said softly, "Sama, can we talk?" Erik looked at Lea.
