Real Dad's

Perplexities

“How about this, what should I say?” inner Lam raged, she really could not explain the word.

“Ah, soul mate is like your father and mother, baby!” chirping Andra.

“Dad? Mother?” Eunsu turned to Andra quickly.

“Yes, yes as it is, but ... between us it is different, a soul mate only as, eu, friend, yes, friend ...,” racau Lam trying to support the words of Andra.

“But ... grandma said, it was fate, they split up and left me because of fate,” Eunsu said.

Suddenly his eyes glazed over, his white face flushed red, holding back the flood of tears that almost spilled.

“What?” Andra is surprised, not expecting her words to hurt Eunsu and remind him of the bad events that happened to him.

“Sorry, Eunsu,” Lam said, “I make you sad and remember the incident not wearing it.”

Eunsu flinching, he lowered his head, not heeding Lam's words trying to withdraw her words earlier.

“Destiny Eunsu alone who is less fortunate, sometimes Eunsu hate the fate,” as always Eunsu, still trying to hold back tears.

“If you want to cry, just cry, don't pretend to be strong like that, isn't that very painful?” Lam.

Hearing Lam's words, Andra's face stiffened. Inexhaustible with the words of the half-baked man before him. Shouldn't Lam say sweet to appease Eunsu. Then why are his words always piercing and teasing, when he faced now only a small child who did not understand anything.

Why did those words come out, instead of choosing to hug the tiny body and caress it, Lam base was cruel. All bad things raged in Andra's mind, why the words should be exactly the words Lam had said to her.

Lighted by street lights reflected from a puddle on the asphalt, after the rain that flushed this afternoon, a man staggered on the sidewalk. Sometimes he looked up at the sky while raving unclear. Clearly visible from the behavior and swearing he uttered, a tragedy had just happened in his life.

After being satisfied, he laughed. Either laugh at who, maybe laugh at the tragedy. Shortly after, the twenty-five-year-old man met a group of bad boys who were harassing a student. As soon as he stopped his steps, a rough gasp of breath could be heard clearly from him. The face of the stern-headed man explained that; he did not like the thing that was happening right in front of him.

“Woi, Boy!” the man in the black shirt shouted.

Hearing his screams, the five delinquents abruptly stopped his behavior. Then, look towards the drunk men who are teasing their pleasure.

“What? Just walk there, don't mind us!” replied one of the children wearing torn pants here and there.

“You don't know, yes, if raising a child is hard, then why are you torturing a child like that,” mess with the drunk man.

“Many bacots, you, Bang! Even though standing alone cannot afford!” another boy said he saw the man who yelled at him several times lose his balance.

“You won't be a whiz by torturing people!” shouted the man furiously.

The responsible teenagers who seemed to be under the influence of the drugs, increasingly ignited emotions. They tried to gang up on the handsome man who had just disturbed all five, and the tall man was none other than Lam when young.

They easily fought Lam who was under the influence of alcohol. Lam was beaten here and there, although Lam was quite proficient in martial arts, but her current state made her lose focus. The stubborn boys managed to hit Lam bertubi alternately.

Until, finally Lam realized she would not be able to fight the horde of delinquent boys. Until he chooses to distract them. To save a high school student who is being bullied, just now. After being ganged up, Lam tried to run to make them stay away from the student.

However, just before he took a thousand steps, a hoodlum suddenly pulled out a sharp weapon from behind his jacket. Then, he pointed it at Lam. Of course Lam tried to fight back and avoid it. Nahas, another hoodlum pushed him from behind which caught him off guard. Easily the hoodlum holding the knife stabbed Lam right in the stomach.

The fierce struggle had occurred for a while, in the condition of injured Lam could still make the five delinquent boys fell for a moment. He also did not waste it, as fast as lightning he ran into a densely populated residential area to make it easy to hide. Meanwhile, the bullied student was still glued. Lam yelled at him to leave the place immediately.

The incident took place just before the textile factory workers broke up in the night shift. Making the situation quite crowded and it utilized the students to blur by mingling. While Lam is still in a chase action with the delinquents. Until fate meets Hana. The girl who saved his life.

Hana manages to give first aid to Lam and hides Lam in her room. While early in the morning Hana woke up and found herself sound asleep next to the man she had just met. Sontak Hana was surprised to realize his reckless behavior. Then, he hurriedly got up before the man beside him realized.

He saw the face of the man he helped so pale, his temple was sweating. As Hana had expected. Lam had a fever, probably due to an injury to her stomach. Hana's a little panicked. He muttered to himself wondering what he should do next.

Hana slowly walks down the alley towards the landfill where Lam hid that night, she will check Lam's trail. Worried the thugs who mistreated Lam came back. However, how shocked Hana was, all traces of Lam were already clean without any rest. Making Hana a little confused, it seemed like someone had cleaned it up first.

Hana rushed to check the landfill, again she was shocked, because someone had been there, Lam's hiding place. The man was holding Hana's jacket which he had previously used to clothe Lam's wounds.

Hana stopped her steps and did not dare to approach the man, she was afraid that the man was one of the delinquents who last night made Lam hurt.

“Who is he?” hana Mumbles.

In silence Hana was still watching the young man who was still focusing on his jacket, as soon as the man turned to her. The gazes of the two also intersected, making the man and Hana both shocked.

“Who are you?” ask the man.

“You who?” Hannah asked back.

Hana stared fixedly at the man, after being convinced that he was not one of the men last night. Hana also ventured to approach him.

“Why are you approaching?” asked the young man a little.

Looking at her behavior, Hana became more and more convinced that the man really had nothing to do with Lam.

“That's my jacket!” hana, getting closer.

“What?” The cute-faced man was shocked as Hana said about her jacket.

“Rogoh his pocket, there is my work card!” hana to the man.

Clumsily the man did as Hana commanded. It's true that there is Hana's identity inside. Every now and then he turned his gaze towards Hana once again he also turned his gaze to the card, to make sure the photo in the card was indeed Hana.

After he was sure, he handed the jacket to Hana. His hands were still trembling and thrusting the jacket.

“Still,” says Hana.

After the jacket was received, Hana threw it into a pile of trash there, then Hana crouched down, then pulled out a match from her pants pocket and burned the jacket.

“You're the one who erased the blood trail in the alley?” search Hana.

The man was shocked not to play, his eyes widened like they were going out.

“Ba–Ba–gai–ma–na you ..,”.

“I'll perfect it, thanks for what you did,” Hana said.

Fire began to spread burning the army's green jacket, stared by two pairs of eyes in the morning which was still not too bright.

“You know the man?” hana asked, then turned to look at the young man who looked innocent.

“No, but–but– he has saved me,” he explained.

“What's your name?” ask Hana, “you want to meet her? He's with me, I don't know him, maybe I'll need your help.”.

“Andra!” answer's short.

“Alright Andra, it seems you really have to meet and explain everything to me,” Hana said.
