After returning from Anggi's house, Reynald immediately headed for Clara's apartment. Along the way he really cursed no stop at the complicated situation that hit him.
"Damn! Why would I hide like this between them?".
"Until when can I hide it?".
"What should I do with both of them? gosh darn.. It's dizzying!".
Reynald monologues with himself while pressing the gas pedal deeper and grips the car's steering force.
In less than an hour, Reynald had reached Clara's apartment but the man did not park his car into the basement but instead drove his car right in the pick-up area in front of the lobby.
He had asked Clara to wait for him directly in the pick up lobby area rather than having to follow up. Before long, Clara is seen by Reynald walking by pushing a stroller.
Reynald smiled faintly when he saw the appearance of Clara that was all closed to leave no side of the woman's skin.
How did Reynald know it was Clara?
I don't know. It's just that Reynald's eyes have been used for years to seeing Clara. Until perhaps only by closing his eyes was Reynald able to recognize him.
Reynald got out of the car as soon as Clara was nearby. He holds Jessy, his daughter, while Clara folds the stroller and puts it in the trunk.
Clara immediately grabbed Jessy from Reynald's sling and the two got into the car.
"Do we need to buy something to bring to your parents, Rey?". Ask Clara when the car is moving.
Reynald shook his head slowly. "no need. They just want to see their grandchildren. That's enough".
"really? But I don't feel good about visiting your parents empty-handed".
Reynald glanced at Clara and commented a faint smile.
"It's okay. You don't have to worry".
Reynald then stroked Jessy's cheek with his hand free from the wheel.
"Did he always sleep like this?".
"Why is it that every time I meet him he sleeps?".
"He's not sick, is he?".
Clara smiled warmly as she looked at her daughter.
"A baby sleeps more than an adult. There will come a time when he will always want to play and be adorable". Clara chuckled.
"Are you tired of taking care of it?". Ask Reynald.
Clara looked at Reynald in confusion. "He's my son. The child I held in my womb for 9 months. Tired of taking care of the baby is natural, Rey. But I enjoy it more".
Reynald glanced at Clara and clasped the woman's hand.
"Thank you for giving birth to her".
"If this situation is complicated enough for me, but I also try to understand your struggle alone from the time of pregnancy to giving birth to my child without me by your side".
Clara smiled warmly at Reynald. "I did it because I've always loved you, Rey".
Reynald did not answer, but his hand held Clara's hand.
"Rey... Can I ask you something?".
Reynald turned a glance at Clara and nodded his head.
"You always tell me that your situation is complicated, what does that mean? You told me if I didn't walk away from you, then it'd be easier for you".
"What happened while I was gone?".
Clara threw a question that made Reynald freeze instantly and pulled his hand from Clara's hand just like that.
"Rey?".
Reynald tightened his jaw and gripped the steering wheel until his fingers turned white.
"There's nothing. You don't have to think about that". Reynald said coldly without looking at Clara.
An hour later, Reynald's car had entered an elite residential area that looked like a row of house like a palace was seen.
Clara looked around and turned to Reynald.
"I thought you'd take me to your penthouse, Rey".
"Why do you think that?".Ask Reynald
"Because I thought your parents lived in your penthouse. Were they at a relative's house in Jakarta?".
Reynald shook his head. "No. They're in their own house".
"Have I ever told you?".
"They have a main house in Jakarta. It's just that if they're in Germany, who live in that house, only a few servants take care of it".
Clara was surprised. "Why didn't you ever say? Then why don't you just stay home on appeal in the penthouse, Rey?".
Reynald raised his shoulders. "That's not important. I'd rather live in a penthouse anyway". Her speech.
Before long both of them have arrived at a house with European style. It is the largest house in the area. The architecture is charming and magnificent with detailed carvings in various corners of the walls and towering pillars.
Reynald and Clara got out of the car and immediately stepped in. If the view from the outside has made the eyes sparkle, then the area inside the house really makes anyone will gawk at it.
Clara circled her gaze all over and stared in awe at the interiors of Reynald's parents' home.
Shortly thereafter, we heard footsteps coming from behind. Reynald and Clara turned around and saw a middle-aged couple walking up to them.
Reynald then approached his parents and kissed their left and right cheeks while Clara was only able to stand glued because of overwhelming nervousness.
Rose approached Clara and looked at Jessy who was in the woman's arms.
"God.. It's my granddaughter.."
"The cave... Looky here... This is our grandchild". Rose turned to Dave, her husband.
Dave immediately stepped closer and threw a thin smile at Clara and turned to look at Jessy.
"Let me carry it". Rose looked at Clara with a smile.
Clara swiftly gave Jessy who was sleeping into Rose's sling.
Rose also stepped into the living room that Clara believed was a family room. Reynald walked by his side without a sound. But the man seemed to give strength to Clara so as not to be nervous in front of both parents.
The four of them sat around the sofa. Jessy who looks awake also blinked her eyes. His tiny lips occasionally evaporated to make anyone who saw it nervous.
"Look at Dave, his eyes are exactly Reynald's eyes. Gosh. I kind of saw Reynald in the female version". Said Rose endlessly staring in admiration at her grandson.
"What's your name Clara?". Rose asked, looking at Clara.
Clara nodded. "Yes, Aunt. My name is Clara".
"Welcome to our family, Clara. Thank you for giving birth to such a beautiful grandson for our family". Sahut Rose while looking at Clara with a shady view of a mother.
Clara reviewed a warm smile and lowered her blush. Reynald sighed softly seeing Clara's interaction with her mother. The relief as well as the immortality mixed into one within him.
