Not Intentionally Cheating

Chapter 34 Meet

Nayla and Calista decided to look for an inn or a house for rent for them to spend the night with today.

The feeling of peace and comfort they get when they are there. Until they feel at home in the neighborhood and are reluctant to return to the city.

Nayla rents a small house for where she stays overnight. I don't know when, he hasn't decided yet.

He wanted to find peace there. In a quiet and comfortable place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the busyness that makes him tired every day.

"Yuk Ca, we're looking for stalls around here" Nayla said as she reached out to hold Calista's hand.

Calista smiled happily and welcomed his mother's hand. The two of them walked towards the food stall that the owner of the house told them about.

"Ma, would Papa be upset if he couldn't contact us today?" calista asked as he swung his arm around with their hands interlocked.

"It's possible that if Papa did contact us. Otherwise, Papa wouldn't know even if we weren't home" Nayla replied, chuckling and looking at each other with Calista walking beside her.

"You guys here?" 

Suddenly there was the sound of a familiar man in their sense of hearing. 

Nayla's eyes widened to see the figure of the man who was now in front of her. His throat felt stifled, speechless.

Calista smiled broadly at the man before her. He let go of Nayla's hand and walked over to the man.

"Om Devan is here too? Must be Om Devan visiting Kak Keyla right?" ask Calista while pulling Devan's hand to be invited to walk closer to his mother.

Devan smiled at Calista and nodded his head in response to the question Calista had given him.

Then Devan's gaze was fixed on Nayla who looked surprised to see him. Devan smiled at him, saying,

"How are you doing, Nay?"

Nayla is nervous at the moment. Devan smiled at Nayla's calm heart. Devan knows that the woman in front of him is not okay. 

"Ma, asked by Om Devan" said Calista, who tried to resuscitate her mother by moving her hand.

"Emmm. uh yeah, good Dev," Nayla said nervously and smiled clumsyly at Devan.

God... What else is this? Why are we meeting here? Is this the answer to my question this morning? Nayla wondered in her heart.

"Where are you going?" devan asked as he looked towards Nayla and Calista alternately.

"We're going to Om's shop, buy some food," Calista replied enthusiastically.

"It's a coincidence. I haven't eaten either. How about we have dinner together?" devan asked his opinion.

Nayla smiles in response to Devan's invitation to eat together. Unfortunately, Nayla's face was clearly nervous when she looked at Devan.

Devan was very understanding of Nayla's attitude. He did not blame her and did not protest against her. In accordance with Nayla's will, let their relationship flow as it is.

"Caca mau Om," Calista replied enthusiastically.

Calista drew his mother's hand in blessing,

"Let's go eat with Om Devan."

Finally Devan walks behind Nayla and Calista. He looked at the backs of the mother and child with a look of admiration and a happy smile. He imagined that the mother and child could hold his hand.

Calista looked back. He pulls Devan's hand and invites him to walk along with them.

Now Devan's wish is realized. Calista walked between Nayla and Devan holding her hand.

They look like a happy family. 

Devan smiles to see his current self as the father of Calista. 

Actually he didn't expect much from his relationship with Nayla. He just wants to help Nayla who is very depressed and of course her heart plays an important role in her closeness to Nayla.

Nayla and Calista ate with their food. They joked and laughed hearing the story of Calista playing water in the river and playing ball on the village field along with the boys who played there every afternoon.

"It looks like Caca is at home and happy to stay here" Devan said as he rubbed Calista's hair affectionately.

"yes Om. Caca likes it here. The kids here are friendly. Caca is allowed to play football with them. It's different from what Caca is now at school. They always make fun of me because I'm a girl who likes to play football" Calista told Devan, who looked at her with gentle eyes.

Nayla's heart was sliced. He felt that his daughter was depressed and unhappy. Without thinking, Nayla said,

"Does Caca want to go to school here?"

Calista and Devan look towards Nayla. They were in disbelief at what Nayla was saying at the moment.

"Mama seriously? If Papa finds out, Papa will be angry. Here is just an ordinary school, not a school like Papa wanted all this time" Calista reminded his mother.

Devan did not comment, he just listened and understood the situation.

"If you like and love living here, why not? And most importantly, friends at school. Mama doesn't want you to be a bully again at your school right now" Nayla said with a smile to reassure Calista.

Devan smiled at Nayla. She knew that Nayla would do it for her son. That's what amazed Devan. It is very different from his wife who is very indifferent to his biological children.

"Why didn't Caca just try to take lessons at that school for a day? Caca can definitely feel the school here is comfortable or not. Rather than just being a question mark, you won't know if you don't try" Devan said, giving input to Nayla and Calista.

Instantly Calista's eyes sparkled. He quickly nodded his head approving of the idea given by Devan.

Nayla smiled at the beauty of her daughter. He nodded his head as he rubbed his daughter's hair affectionately.

Devan looked at Nayla with a look of admiration. She was amazed at Nayla who became a tough and responsible mother figure.

Nayla and Devan look together. They were astonished at each other, as if channeling their longing feelings for several days without meeting or communicating.

Their eyes spoke to each other, as if greeting each other and asking how they were doing. From the look in their eyes, each of them knew the feeling in their hearts.

After they ate, the three of them took a walk around the village. Incidentally there is a night market that is very crowded with visitors.

Calista was very excited to invite Nayla and Devan to visit the night market.

The sparkle of happiness is implied from the faces of the three of them when Calista rides the game rides at the night market.

They forget their problems. All they feel right now is happiness.
