RTB 2: I Want You Back

21

. Aldi catches up with Reifan and takes him back into the house. He did not heed the whimper of Reifan who kept calling Alvi while crying. The cry grew louder and the Goddess immediately ran over and picked up Reifan.

"What are you doing Aldi?"

"Oma.

"Yes, his father has affairs dear. Play the same Oma ya.." persuaded the Goddess by bringing Reifan out of the house. Aldi only glanced for a moment at the departure of his mother who brought Reifan, there was a sense of relief but there was also a sense of tightness when he saw the disappointment of Alvi when he forbade Reifan to be met by Alvi. With a heavy sigh, Aldi followed the Goddess and he followed where the mother had taken her son.

Until the Goddess pulled over in a garden and immediately Aldi followed.

When he patiently waited for Reifan to play, accidentally someone he did not recognize nudged his arm, but the stranger did not have time to apologize because Aldi immediately turned his eyes away.

"Daddy.." call Reifan running and make Aldi more attached to look at him. "Ujan." His voice again pointed at the increasingly blackened clouds. Aldi looked over and he felt sad. Even the day was getting darker because he was not aware of it.

"Let's go home. It's raining soon." Said the Goddess who followed Reifan but was still reluctant to talk to Aldi.

"Daddy... go home." Take Reifan with her innocent and adorable look.

"Ma... Mama's still mad? sorry ma... Aldi who always busy himself only to forget Syifa." Sluggishly.

"The more you try to forget, the more clearly Syifa's shadow comes to your mind."

"Lantas, how should Aldi?"

"Stop going far and just focus on Rei. Mama sure, with you not going out of town too, you will get enough sustenance." Hearing the mother's request, Aldi only sighed deeply. He was still reluctant to move even though the Goddess had passed carrying Reifan into the car.

Soon, the rain came down hard. Aldi felt the cold rain that began to touch directly to his skin which was only wrapped in a shirt.

Dewi looked at Aldi who he felt was indeed being hit by anxiety. Because it is not that easy to forget Syifa, especially the presence of Reifan even more makes Aldi continue to remember his late ex-wife. Not because of anything, the Goddess alone felt how there was in the position of Aldi. Adam died, and plus his eldest daughter left him.

"Omm... Daddy It's raining." His speech was so innocent looking at Aldi from behind the car glass. "Eifan wants to rain Oma." he continued enthusiastically and then he went and looked for something in the back seat. The goddess was suddenly alarmed when Reifan picked up the umbrella and immediately grabbed the door.

"Where'd Rei go?" Ask the Goddess firmly even though she knows Reifan will follow Aldi.

"You Daddy Oma." The answer then turned back to Aldi who was still reluctant to move.

It seems that some people offer umbrellas, but with courtesy Aldi always rejects it.

Until someone managed to attract his attention and he turned to look at the girl who was thrusting an umbrella for him.

"Rain is not good for your body. You can have a fever if you leave it like this. Pity your mama later, you might trouble her. You should've thought so because you were old. Even though you're not 30 yet, but still-" Dinda's words stopped instantly as Aldi suddenly hugged her tightly.

"Thank you there is always." He said with a heavy voice. "If I asked you not to go, would you stay?" Dinda's eyes rounded hearing the question. He himself did not know the meaning of the question Aldi felt so suddenly.

"Al... What do you mean?"

"I want us to be more than friends."

"Al. I..."

"Dinda.. I want you to be Rei's mother." To his surprise, Dinda immediately withdrew and moved away from Aldi. The umbrella he held fell down making him drenched in the rain.

"I...."

"Oh.." said Aldi slowly and clearly will not be heard by Dinda.

Reifan stopped revolting from the lap of the Goddess when he saw Aldi moving from his place. His face was flat and his gaze became sharp. The goddess turned to see Dinda who replaced Aldi sculpt there. His umbrella was left lying down and he allowed himself to be drenched in the torrential rain.

It feels very anxious to approach Dinda, but Dewi feels unsettled at Aldi who suddenly left just like that.

"Follow Aldi away." Said the Goddess to her personal driver.

"Good ma'am." The answer was to follow where Aldi went. Once the Goddess turned her head for a moment to Dinda who happened to pass by. Crying out. That was the only word the Goddess thought of. What did Aldi do until Dinda cried? Thought Goddess.

"Stop sir. Let's take the girl first. Poor he must be cold."

"Good ma'am." And, the car backed off until it was near Dinda. Dewi lowered her car glass half before calling Dinda.

"Son.. What are you doing?" As if I didn't know what was going on.

"Mama?" Dinda's brows furrowed at the Goddess who opened the door for her.

"Let's go in, son, you can get cold later." Said the Goddess who was responded to a slow nod by Dinda. Just a moment ago, he hurt his son, and now even his mother gave him help. Whether because of what encouragement, he seemed not to refuse the invitation of the Goddess because he also wanted to meet again with Aldi and explained that Emilio alone had not given him certainty.

"What am I thinking? Lio and I have been in a relationship for 2 years, and now Lio is here. I should have had no reason to leave him, or even turn away from him. What's wrong with my brain? Why wouldn't I be willing if Aldi got angry and stayed away from me." Inner Dinda while revealing her wet clothes. Even the appearance of his body curves that make him even more uncomfortable.

"Wear this, son. At least it won't make you too cold." The goddess gave her a coat and she helped Dinda put it on.

"Mother cold?" Tanya Reifan grabbed Dinda's trembling hand. Reifan immediately hugged Dinda with the intention of wanting to warm up. But Dinda just smiled. Let alone warm, Reifan decoction alone is not felt.

"Mother why?" Reifan asked now with more innocence.

"No. You're so good. Who taught you?" Dinda turned to stare at Reifan with anxiety.

"Mommy."

"Ohhh mommy huh? What's Mommy like in Rei's eyes?"

"Mommy is beautiful, fine, but ghrrrr" Reifan replied while putting on a spooky face.

"I mean ghrrr?" Dinda frowned not understanding.

"I mean Rei, fierce. That girl is so fierce. Mama admitted. Especially with Aldi." Timpal Dewi answered Dinda's question.

"Is Miss Syifa like that?" Dinda was curious. All he saw, Dinda was like a meek person.

"No. Not Syifa." And, Dinda was taken aback. Is there another girl who was the mother role for Rei? Wh who? All he knew was Syifa.

"If you may know, is Rei's mommy his stepmother?"

"More or less like that. But now their relationship is not good."

"If Aldi's married again, why would he want me?"
