Jeremy
following Evelyn and Ayres to the dining room. He was happy to see the feet
the little girl walked beside her mother. He increasingly does not want two figures
walking in front of him away from him. He kept thinking how
so that the two do not leave this house.
Evelyn's in
into the room but then stopped his steps and turned to face
Jeremy stopped looking at him.
“I forgot,
I shouldn't have come here, maybe there's another woman who objected, I
I'm sorry, maybe I'll take Ayres out to eat. I gotta
take my money first.” Evelyn spoke slowly so that Ayres wouldn't sound, she would
go but his hand is firmly held by Jeremy.
The man tilted
his head to Evelyn's ears. “No other women. Be sitting. We eat, we eat,
I'm hungry too,” Jeremy whispered, glancing at the woman, smelling her hair, smelling it,
cast his shadow onto other things, wanting to kiss her longer and fondle her.
Evelyn let go
his hand then turned to Ayres who was already sitting on one of the chairs but
his desk was high, until he had to raise his neck to see the menu on
tabletop.
Jeremy who
seeing him smile immediately. Before Evelyn approached him, the man
he immediately opened his suit and was thrown into one of the empty seats, then approached
Ayres, raise his body and hold it in his lap.
Ayres
look at Jeremy. “Say Mom I have to eat alone.”
Jeremy
instantly fixated. “But you're still a kid.”
“I've already
large.”
“Ooh.
how do you eat? Your body is not up.” Jeremy looked at a tiny face
in front of it. I never get tired of seeing it. Is he really my son?
I have kids? It was like a dream of a living being being born as a descendant.
“I must
eat where?”
“Already
you're sitting here in the meantime. What do you want to eat? What's your favorite?”
Jeremy opened
the plate in front of him, taking out a knife and a fork was stored on the plate.
Ayres
looked up again.
“What's up
any more? What do you want to eat?”
“I don't
can use knife.”
“Ooh.”
Jeremy kept the knife replaced with a spoon.
“What is this
is it right?”
“Ya.” Ayres
nods.
Her hand
pointed at the menu she liked, then started eating with her own hands.
Jeremy is
looking at those little hands deftly eating meni on her plate, how
the food was very neat and clean, not scattered.
“How to
eat like you.” Evelyn's voice suddenly startled her, she was too focused
to Ayres.
Jeremy
looking at the woman who was filling her plate with food menu
ahead of him. His heart was not willing to lose both. Some time
gathering like this makes his house feel warm.
Evelyn
thrusting the plate in front of Jeremy. “Eat.”
Jeremy saw
towards the plate, it turns out Evelyn took a meal for her and her menu
it was his favorite menu.
“You're still
remember my favorite food.”
“Of course because
you are the only man who has ever been my husband,” Evelyn replied humbly
his voice should not invite Ayres' curiosity. But that little boy
so good to eat it seems so hungry.
Evelyn
take a plate for him to eat. Jeremypun ate it while paying attention
Ayres. True Evelyn said eating it was very clean and tidy, it seemed that it was not
I like to eat messy.
“Tonight
you slept with me, do you want?” ask Jeremy.
Evelyn
surprised and turned his head but it turned out that Jeremy asked not her but Ayres, who was,
the man looked down at his son, he thought Jeremy was asking him.
Evelyn continued
eat it and be surprised again to hear Jeremy's voice.
“By
Your mother also.”
“No. I slept
just with Ayres. Don't you have anything else?” Evelyn murmured.
Jeremy is frowning
her forehead is because Evelyn's like she's insinuating about women and in some
seconds later he remembered something. There's Selena in the guest room. He almost forgot
take care of that woman. Looks like Evelyn already knows there's Selena in this house
that's why keep insinuating.
“Honey,
eat a lot to get big fast. Do you have any goals?” Jeremy asked
at Ayres while he also ate it with one hand only.
“I will
I told you, I want to be a police officer to eradicate crime on this earth.”
“Oh, yes
forgot.”
Evelyn is just
Jeremy
close his nose to Ayres's head, smelling the smell of hair
fragrant. He felt that he loved her. Turns out to have the kid
it was so happy that Ayres did not know he was a father
birthmarks.
“Morning besokchecks
I have to go home.”
“Go home? Nope,
no, just later. Ayres just came here, let him settle to play in this house.”
“Dad.”
“Later me
talk to Dad, I'll call him to let him know you're in my house.
Hows it? You agree?”
Evelyn nodded
without talking and then eating again.
“Some
day only.”
That woman
still not answering.
Jeremy
sighing deeply, she was unwilling that evelyn go with Ayres. New
he also felt the warmth in the house. Tomorrow he won't work, he
I want to spend the whole day with my wife at home.
“What are you
know there is a very wide playground in this city?”
“I know.”
“Hem, you
ever been to that place?”
“He em.”
“You want to
there again?”
“He em.”
“Alright,
we'll be there tomorrow, how?”
“Really?”
Ayres exclaimed happily looking at Jeremy who nodded with a smile, delighted
once his heart saw that tiny face. What would Ayres react to if he knew
if he was his real father.
“Tomorrow us
there.”
“Hore, I
happy!”
“Ayres!”
The sound of Evelyn's voice, made the boy grim.
“Sorry Om,
I can't.” Ayres returned to eating slowly while looking down, visibly
once if disappointed.
Jeremy
look at Evelyn. “It's okay, I don't mind asking him to play, I
I will be taking a few days off to accompany Ayres. I want to take him around town. If
need to go abroad also no problem.”
“Autside?
No - no.” Evelyn shook her head.
“Exit
country?” the voice of Ayres. “What is it far?”
“Away,
Dear. But a little while by getting on a plane. Have you ever been abroad?”
“No, Mother no
ever take me out of the country.”
Jeremy
just tell me about the countries he often visited.
“Seems like
delightful. Om play often huh?”
“Ya, streets.
Anytime if you want to come.”
Evelyn gave
breath, seeing Ayres who began to be familiar with Jeremy caused a sense of anxiety
alone in Evelyn's heart. He's afraid Jeremy told Ayres that he
his real dad. He said his father was dead. Him
not wanting Jeremy to be close to Ayres, he does not want Jeremy's ugliness to be followed
by his son someday.
Until Ayres
sleeping in the boy's bedroom, Jeremy didn't want to be far away at all. He continues to accompany
whatever the boy did until he finally fell asleep in bed with
animal animal picture bed sheet.
Retrieved
a blanket covered the child's body. His heart was getting less and less willing to Ayres
left his house.
Whichever
turning to Evelyn who was standing leaning by the toy closet watching him
from earlier. His ex-wife was like a watchdog who feared he would
kidnap Ayres.
“I don't
want Ayres to leave this house. I want him with me.” Jeremy was honest
just about his feelings.
“I said
to Ayres if his father is dead.”
“I don't
what if you already said that, but I beg you, let Ayres
stay with me.”
Evelyn
I was silent at Jeremy's request. “You and I are divorced, I am not
you can stay in your house for a long time. I can't leave Ayres alone
with you, I don't allow it.”
“Then
as soon as we refer. Marry me again. Whatever you want to be like. I
will have a marriage in general if you want. I know our wedding
it used to be very bad. I'm sorry.”
Evelyn remained silent.
The refer? Talk to Jeremy?
Jeremy
she looked at Evelyn who was also looking at her. While both of them were silent.
