31 — Cafe Lwost (2)

Kezia and Leah talked about many things. Women no longer touch the past. Leah tried to refrain from cursing at Vernon. The man managed to get his best friend back. After the shooting incident, Kezia returned to the capital without informing Leah. Of course so that Leah does not marry Kezia again.

Kezia had to build trust in someone with great difficulty. After all, the trust was like porcelain, once it broke it could not become one again. Although many times trying to need the porcelain still leaves a visible and visible crack.

If Kezia and Leah talk about women. Vernon and Rafael only chatted occasionally. Both are more silent to listen to their two wives who are busy talking about many things.

"Well, you're finally back as a singer. There are a lot of people waiting for you to come back. Especially me, haha." Leah laughed, now Kezia can free a career back. Kezia hiatus because of Vernon. Before this, the man did not want Kezia to plunge into the world of entertainment after marriage.

Only Kezia and Vernon know. Vernon doesn't want Kezia out of the house often. He wanted to keep Kezia to himself. And free to touch Kezia which often makes him out of control. But now Vernon has trouble getting close to his wife. It could be said Kezia was traumatized by the touch Vernon gave her. Their past is really bad because of Vernon's treatment of Kezia.

"Yes. All because of the support of many people. I decided to sing and restart my career." Kezia smiled and drank the drink he ordered.

Leah gave a small nod, "Sure, you mustn't keep your voice to yourself. People are already in love with your work." Leah was honest. Back then Kezia still contained Excelo and decided to run away. The woman never discussed her profession.

"thank you. You're the best, Le." Kezia gave a sincere smile. Then glanced at Vernon who was putting on a flat face. Vernon watched Kezia from earlier and eavesdropped on the silent conversation.

Rafael smelled a smile. She did not expect a woman as good as Kezia to forgive Vernon who had hurt her repeatedly. It doesn't make sense to a person who thinks of himself. But for a woman like Kezia it is natural given her good nature.

"Alright enough talking. Leah, Reon's coming home soon. We have to pick him up after this" Rafael said.

"You want to go home?"

"Not really. We'll stop by my father's house before we go home" replied Rafael.

"Yes that's it. Reon won't stay silent once he gets out of town" Leah said.

Kezia chuckled slightly, "Yes already then. Give our regards to the family." Kezia stood up after Leah packed her things and intended to get out of the dining table.

Vernon rose up and wrapped his hands around his wife's slender waist.

"OKAY. Don't forget your promise!" Leah received Rafael's hand and bid him farewell to go home.

Rafael gave a meaningful smile towards Vernon. Vernon nodded faintly and smiled faintly.

"We go first" said Rafael.

"wait. If you need help, you can call me or Kezia." said Vernon stopped the steps husband and wife in front of him.

Rafael turned, "Sure, dude." Leah smiled at Vernon's offer. Before leaving Leah could see Vernon's change even though it was only minor.

Rafael and Leah leave the Lwost Cafe. Meanwhile Kezia looked up to stare at Vernon who was taller than him. "Thank you" said Kezia.

Vernon returned his wife's gaze and displayed a grin tightening his circle of hands on Kezia's waist. "I should have told you. Thank you, sweetheart." said Vernon.

Kezia smiled widely and began to blush. Vernon turned sweet. Though his very rigid nature almost makes Kezia think that Vernon can not be romantic. But the fact is that the man proved that he can be romantic near Kezia.

"Excelo's okay?" asked Vernon after coming out of his study to meet Kezia and his son who were in the room.

Kezia looked at Vernon anxiously, "He won't stop crying." Kezia stroked the back of Excelo who was crying loudly and acting rebellious.

"Remove, I want to hold my hero." Vernon approaches and holds Excelo after Kezia moves the baby in Vernon's hand.

"Rest, I'll catch up." Kezia nodded and went into the bathroom to do the routine before going to bed. Wash your face, brush your teeth, wash your hands and feet.

"Why is papa's whiz crying? Something's bothering you, hm?" Vernon tried to calm Excelo down. Invite Excelo to speak so that the baby distracts and stops crying.

And sure enough, Excelo stopped crying. Seeing his father curious. But drowsiness made the baby fall asleep in his father's arms.

Kezia spent a little time in the bathroom and then came out with satin pajamas. He looked at Vernon in amazement. Kezia quickly concluded, Excelo was crying because he missed his father's sling.

"Excelo's asleep?" Kezia steps up to the dresser. Started applying some night cream on his face.

"It." Vernon walks to put Excelo to bed near the bed.

After that Vernon decided to take off his work glasses and do the same thing as Kezia, which is to clean himself before going to bed. His body was very tired because he languished in the workspace long enough.

Coming out of the bathroom, Vernon shook his head and smiled amusedly as Kezia was not yet done with the woman's affairs.

The man immediately got into bed and relaxed himself comfortably. His back relaxed feeling the softness of the mattress.

"Until when do you use those fluids? Quickly sleep. It's getting late, Kez." Vernon propped his head with his elbows and faced Kezia who was sitting behind him.

"In a moment, this hasn't seeped in yet."

Vernon sighed softly, "Alright."

Vernon changed his sleeping position as before. Both eyes looked at the roof - the roof of the house. Every night he always thought about the future he had to work on to build a happy family with Kezia.

Vernon loved his wife and his son. Apologies and thanks are not enough to make amends. He should be grateful always because all opportunities always come to improve everything. Not everyone can get a rare opportunity like Vernon. Therefore, Vernon, could not waste this.

Vernon felt the bed move as Kezia joined to sleep beside him.

"Is there anything that bothers you?" Kezia approached to rest his head on Vernon's chest without any cloth attached there.

Vernon shakes a little with his hand to gently stroke Kezia's hair."There aren't. Sleep on." Kezia, according to him, began to close his eyes and feel comfortable because Vernon held him warm.

Both are deep in their minds. There was nothing else they could think of but the future. The most important thing right now is happiness. With Excelo, they are more and more convinced to understand each other. The key to happiness is being with a small family and solving all problems with the right heart.
