Orion's Secret

Chapter 30

5 YEARS LATER

In Jakarta, a girl with a little boy about a year and a half roamed the floor casually. Walking down like an artist with his popularity. Ignore the envious gaze or seductive gaze of some visitors in the airport.

The little boy of the male sex took off his sunglasses, looking up at his Mommy.

"Where's Daddy Mom? How come you haven't arrived yet?"

"He's waiting at the car park, baby. Now we're there."

The little man with a big smile on his face kept walking beside his Mommy. She clasped Mommy's hand not to be separated. Debaran longed even more when she saw the silhouette of an adult man similar to his face. There's nothing different from all the physiques that these two different-aged men have.

"Daddy!" The little man screamed and grabbed his Daddy. A warm kiss landed on her as her body was carried by the adult man she called Daddy.

"Daddy's good, right? How long has it never taken me to nengokin?"

"Sorry baby, Daddy is busy until there is no time for you to go to Australia. But relax, from now on we will be together forever. Here."

"here?"

"Yes, here. In indonesia. Daddy and Mommy's house first. You happy?"

"Whatever it is, I'm happy. Just as there's Mommy and Daddy."

The little man kissed Daddy and Mommy's cheeks in turn. Making that last laugh sound crisp with happiness.

"How are you, baby?"

"I'm good. I miss you."

The girl that Mommy called the little man hugged the two men of distant age tightly.

"You are my happiness now."

"Yes, come on. We'll have lunch first."

Enter their private car, then go hurtling away from the airport quickly. Immediately switch places to famous restaurants there. Fill an empty stomach with a tinge of happiness that they have achieved for 5 years.

Protect, protect, and love each other as much as they can. Until there is a junior hero with 80% resemblance to his Daddy. Giving happiness is complete. Not less than one.

Rio walked into a place that would soon be filling his empty stomach. Looking around, making sure the girl he invited here had come first. A hand wave he got when his sight landed on the number 7. The girl smiled sweetly, a smile that was always able to hypnotize her easily.

"Old old?" He asked, and he sat down before the girl. The girl who just shook her head, heard his question.

"What do you want to meet?"

"Shill, I don't want to talk. But I think our relationship stopped here enough."

"But why Rio we have been fighting for so many years for the blessing of your parents."

"Until every time Mama and Papa I will not agree with our relationship Shil."

The girl breathed her breath out violently. Yes right, fighting with everything and all means will not be able to melt the heart of Haling and Manda. All the ways Rio and Shilla have done, but it still does not produce results.

"I know Rio. But I really can't if I have to lose you."

"Shill, when are we gonna buy some time? For decades, Mama and Papa would not agree with this relationship. Free right? You don't want to find someone who can accept you and your family for who they are? Are you tired of this relationship?"

"I understand Rio. I understand. You just don't want to disappoint your family. I know it. I appreciate your decision whatever it is. Including to separate from me. I will try to make the same decision as you. May you be happy with whoever your soul mate will be."

Rio looked down when Shilla just left him there alone. Exhaling his breath roughly, throwing out the tightness in his chest. Twice he lost someone he loved. If perhaps the former is his own fault, perhaps this one is karma for having wasted someone in his past life.

The man circulated his gaze before he finally ate his food that had just come. It feels so bland. Sometimes his eyes rested on the stifling sight, witnessing the happiness of others when he could not yet feel such happiness as well.

Yes, the happiness of a small family. A wife, a child, and a father. A small family with a cheerful laugh across from his place, now became the spotlight of his eyes with sadness. Haven't caught the faces of the people he's been looking at since a while ago.

But instantly, his pupils widened when it was just realized who he was looking at right now. The girl's smile was so familiar. And the man who seemed to have become her husband was also not a stranger to her memory. Who're they?

Rio walked over to their table. The little family that occasionally heard his laughter continued to be the center of attention of his eyes. Undivertable.

As soon as he arrived at the table, the girl and the man who was familiar to him stood up and looked at him in surprise. Unlike the little man among them, he just stared in confusion because he did not know the man who was the same age as his Daddy came over.

"Rio?"

"Ify?"

***

Many things that feel heavy to go through without you, but still must be passed. difficult to accept but must be accepted. The universe sometimes likes to take things without cues.~

Shilla stepped small while kicking a small pebble in a garden that wide. He repeatedly exhaled only to relieve the tightness of his chest due to Rio's decision some time ago.

He was sitting in the long chair provided there. Staring fixed on the fingers embedded in the sandal that he wears. It is true, years of relationship will not be a result if the blessing is the obstacle.

"Shilla?"

The girl looked up, looking at a girl who was slightly shorter than herself. Her black hair decomposed beautifully with thin storm bangs. His smile broadened with thin eyes on him. He sat next to Shilla without warning.

"Lo how's Shill doing?"

"Don't you find me?"

Acha, the girl who met Shilla was smiling sideways without looking at Shilla. His gaze was straight ahead staring at the little boys who were playing prosotan in the park.

"Gue accidentally met you here. Out of the supermarket."

Shilla just kept quiet not wanting to respond. He threw his face rough. I don't want to talk to this girl next to him. He wanted to move, but his wrist was already grasped by Acha. Brutalize, without looking. Shilla continued her steps.

"Shilla wait. I want to talk to you."

"What by the way?" Shilla paused for a moment, still turning her back to Acha's body.

"Gue, I was the one who framed Gabriel at the time. He's not wrong. I was wrong. I got into his drink in the car when he picked me up."

"Why? Because you want to be touched? Because you want to be caressed?"

Truly, Shilla had just learned the truth after all these years. After he sacrificed everything. Why did the girl just show up now, what's wrong with her?

"Gue's sorry Shill. I think, all this time I could have Gabriel completely after taking him from Lo. But I was actually wrong. He really can't have me. And I feel guilty about you."

"After everything I've sacrificed all this time, you just realized? You just feel guilty? I hope you're not drunk right now."

"No Shill. I'm sorry about you."

Shilla. He was at a loss for words to describe his heartache.

"What difference does it make to me like Shil? I'm khianatin lo, but lo khianatin ify. We're the same, right? Both give our bodies to people who cannot unite with us."

"And us? We can only accept our karma."

"We? Lo aja time I'm not." said Shilla still not staring Acha. Maybe he forgot, that he had already ruined Ify's life by taking Rio for granted. Then he was devastated because he could not unite with Rio.

"Udahlah, free I say the same lo. The important thing is that I apologize the same. I want to go back to Korea. It doesn't matter that I'm here."

Shilla stared at Acha's departure wryly. As easy as the girl who left him destroyed her happiness. And that's as easy as it is to destroy Ify's happiness. Own friend. It may be true that what happened to him and Acha is karma.

Now all I need is time, let the time make me sincere. Maybe it is time for us to separate and mature each other.~

***

Ify and Rio stood up without looking at each other. Yes, Adam kindly gave Rio some time to talk to Ify with four eyes. He remembered that Rio had also stopped in his wife's heart.

"So you married that doctor?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"And that little guy?"

"Our son. My son is Adam."

"Well, that's great for you guys."

"As you can see."

"Fy, look at me."

The girl looked closely at Rio's eyes. It was as if conveying the desire that he really had erased all feelings for this man before him. Not with Rio. His eyes really implied that he misses the girl in front of him.

"Fy, maybe it's too late. I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry about you. We have our own couple. We each have our own happiness. We're done."

"Thank you Fy."

The girl just nodded while clearing her throat.

"I'll go back first. Adam must have been waiting for me."

Now change Rio who nodded while clearing his throat. Yeah right, they're done. There's nothing more they should discuss. Ify has found her happiness and Rio is still looking for her happiness. Let it pass properly. Destiny only God knows.
