Pizza’s Luv

“Mom, where's Daddy?”

Jessica stared all over the crowded restaurant. They're almost half an hour here, but Matt's not coming. Did Matt forget his promise? Couldn't it be that Matt did the same thing a second time?

“Actually I was so envious to see that sister's family over there.”

Lyn points to a small group of families celebrating the child's birthday. Father, Mother and a little boy and a birthday cake in front of them. Jessica looked at the girl, Lyn just looked down deeply as if hiding her sadness.

“Hei Honey, wasn't your birthday yesterday we were like them too?”

“I don't want his birthday, I want their complete family.”

Jessica flinched, Lyn stared at her with teary eyes. Jessica swallowed her saliva, this was the honest speech of a six-year-old. Lyn just conveyed what she had in her heart, just to express her feelings.

“Mommy, am I wrong if I want a Daddy?”

Lyn looked at Jessica curiously. He had thought that Daddy going to work and not coming home was common, but when he saw that some people were always traveling with their father. He realized that only his father was different. Even the last two months his father never invited him to play as usual.

“Honey, dear. Don't you want a vacation to Disney Land? Daddy is looking for money for us to go there.”

Jessica looked at Lyn with a smile, while her heart was crying. To be honest he also misses Matt, misses the man who always accompanies him every night, chatting together before going to bed, even watching any movie after Lyn has fallen asleep.

“If I say I don't want to go to Disney, will Daddy give me Mommy time?” Jessica was silent, she was too afraid of mispronouncing

“I'll tell Daddy we don't need a vacation to Disney, I need Daddy more than seeing that big Disney clown.”

Jessica could see the little girl smiling happily, as if all her plans were going to work. Jessica was just staring pity, even the last two years Lyn whined to go to Disney Land and he would cancel it all if it could be exchanged with the attention and time of the father.

“Jessie!”

Jessica and Lyn turned to look at a man who called. Jessica flinched, a few meters from where they were sitting stood a man with pale skin in a casual dress. It was about five or six years ago that he saw the man, the man who became his first love and also the man who became one of his mistakes.

“Hai Jessie, How are you?” The man was now beside Jessica, Lyn who saw there was confusion and a hue of happiness on her mother's face was looking at them both suspiciously.

"I'm fine Mike, how are you?"

Mike smiled wryly, the man was no hypocrite, he missed Jessica so much. His face, his smile, even his voice. She misses everything that has to do with Jessica. After nearly six years he tried to forget the girl, but now he knew, he couldn't.

“Jess, i-“

“Mom, who is this man?!” Jessica and Mike flinched, they saw a little girl who was staring resentfully at the two of them. Mike looked at the curious little girl.

“Lyn this-“

“I'm Mike, and who are you little girl?” Lyn stared at the stranger from top to bottom, not liking how he looked at his mother and how he looked at this stranger.

“I Lyn, and Uncle don't like my mom!”

Lyn spoke out loud and hugged Jessica. Jessica and Mike flinched over Lyn's words, as if he thought Mike was going to snatch Jessica from her. Mike smiled at Lyn's behavior. To be honest he was quite surprised to see Jessica already had a child with Matt, anyway what he expected again from Jessica.

“Uncle will not like your mother, me and your mother are just friends.” Lyn remained silent and still hugged Jessica tightly.

“So do you want to be friends with Uncle?”

Mike reached out his palm, ten seconds Lyn was silent but immediately welcomed Mike's high five. Lyn let go of her embrace with her mother, thinking that this uncle in front of her was quite pleasant.

“Uncle knows my mom where?”

Lyn sat back in her chair and looked at Mike closely, the two of them sitting down. Mike was quite surprised by Lyn's question. It is obvious that Lyn is a little girl who is quite mature and also smart.

“I used to go to school with your mother, your mother used to be the prettiest girl in school.”

“Really?”

Mike nodded in response to Lyn's question. Lyn looks so sparkling, Mike just smiles knot. Jessica looked at the two of them sadly, if she hadn't chosen Matt in the past, would their family be like this?

“Uncle want to order Pizza? Since this is our first meeting, my mother will treat.”

Jessica and Mike laughed, Lyn really is an innocent girl. Mike stared deeply at Lyn, actually rather than looking like Matt, Lyn was more like him. Brown hair, pale skin, as well as bright blue eyes. If he had a family with Jessica, would he have had a child like Lyn?

“So, what pizza do you want to order Uncle? I'll order it like Miss Sherlyn's orders.” Jessica said

Lyn smiled happily at her mother, Mike who saw Lyn so happy to come smiling. As if the little girl was his spirit, this pedahal was the first time they met.

“Pizza Rocca, small size only.”

“Of course, let me guess. We like the same thing?” Lyn nodded with excitement.

“Good big size Rocca Pizza for both of you will come soon.” Jessica said and went to the cashier to order again.

Jessica ordered, and from a distance she could see Mike and Lyn laughing together. For a long time he had not seen Matt and Lyn chatting and laughing like them. Jessica began to think, if she had chosen Mike first, would Lyn get more attention? Lyn is obviously Mike's real son.

“One Pizza Rocca big size.”

Jessica paid for it and brought the big pizza. Lyn looks sparkling staring at his favorite pizza. Mike looked at Jessica, if there was no Lyn in front of him, wanted to feel like he was hugging Jessica as tightly, not as he used to be, just to express his longing.

“You are offering Uncle Mike, Uncle Mike who must first eat it is not?” Lyn put down the Pizza piece and her face pouted looking at Jessica, Mike smilingly staring at Lyn's cute face.

“Indeed like that, your mother sucks isn't it?” Lyn nodded approving of Mike's remark, back the little girl smiled cheerfully. Lyn is quite happy how Uncle Mike defended her, while Daddy Matt would also scold her if she behaved that way to his mother.

“But what your mother said was right Lyn, that's manners. But since you're a kid, Uncle took it. Let's eat together.”

Jessica was just about to protest, but after Mike's next speech he paused. Jessica saw the two of them pick up a slice of pizza and ride on five ria. Jessica was touched, almost two months more Lyn was not happy, even lately he saw Lyn so sad because he could not play with Matt.

“Jess!”

The three of them flinched, next to Jessica had stood Matt who was staring intently at Mike. Jessica's feelings are not good, can't Matt misunderstand them? If Lyn is here, Matt shouldn't be doing anything silly.

“Daddy, look at this Uncle Mike! My new friend.”

Lyn exclaimed, Lyn's smile faded as the father simply stared at her coldly. Jessica stared confusedly at Matt, what is the matter with this man? If he's jealous, or upset that he met Mike, can't he hide it in front of Lyn?

“It's been a while we didn't meet Matt.”

“I didn't even expect to see you. Let's go home!”

Matt's right arm was holding Lyn, and his left hand was dragging Jessica out of Resto. Mike just stared at the family's departure with sadness, he felt six years could not get rid of Matt's hatred for him. Mike sat down and stared at Lyn's seat. That girl, that little girl. If Lyn were his daughter, he would have taken her away from Matt. Take the little family that should be his.

The Boltom Family Home

18.45

“Lyn go to your room and sleep, Daddy wants to talk to Mommy alone."

Lyn looked at her father with fear, for the first time she saw him so sinister. His little eyes looked at the mother, and he was so nervous and afraid, the most feared of the little girl was only one, he was so afraid that his father would hurt his mother.

“Daddy, please don't hurt Mommy. I love him.”

Matt and Jessica gasped at Lyn's words, the little girl looked scared. Lyn then climbed the stairs to her bedroom. After Lyn is nowhere to be seen, Matt looks at Jessica with rage.

“Do you want to let me down again, Jess?”

“Matt, you just misunderstood, I accidentally met with-“

“And this time you brought Lyn to see him? Would you like to tell that bastard guy that Lyn is his real son?!”

Jessica was surprised, Matt started screaming. He swore he didn't want to do what Matt said, after all it's been six years since the events of his past. Has Matt been able to forgive himself and Mike? He knows the trauma was intense, but this time they had Lyn. Than anything, for Jessica her life was just for Lyn.

“Matt, I know the events of those six years are so devastating. But this time I swear on behalf of Lyn, I don't intend to-“

“Don't take my son on your false oath Jessica!” Mike stared intently at Jessica, Jessica felt her head dizzy. What should he do to explain it to Matt? The man did not give her a chance to talk.

“Matt, I beg you. Please believe me, I will not betray you. I love you Matt.”

“Quite Jessie, the first two years after Lyn's birth, I hated that little baby so much. But after this moment, I love Lyn so much more than my life. If you want to go back with Mike, go. But Lyn stays with me.”

“Stay with you? Do you realize what you've been saying? Almost every time Lyn cries because of you, have you not realized so much your lack of time with Lyn? But this time, you're acting like Lyn's your life? What do you say that is not too hypocritical Mr Boltom?!”

Prangs!

Matt slammed a small vase of flowers that had stood beautifully on the guest table. Jessica's breath was excited, actually she did not want to say such a thing, but seeing Matt's childish attitude made her so upset.

“And when you didn't realize I was like this for whom? For you, for Lyn.”

“I didn't ask for any of this!” Jessica said coldly, Matt sighed harshly.

“I'm gone, it's better to wrestle with office paper than to face a cheating woman like you."

“Matt, Matt wait! Matt!”

Matt ignores Jessica's call and exits the mansion, only to stare sadly at Matt's back who has been lost behind the door. He regretted, so sorry, he should not be provoked by emotions, he should be able to explain the presence of Mike. Jessica scrunched her forehead, and her tears forced her out.
