The news in the media made Kezia unrelenting - ceaselessly feeling great fear and anxiety. The woman met Leah the day after. Now Kezia is at Leah's house and lets Excelo play with Reon.

"Kez..kamu gapapa right? You look pale, Kez." asked Leah with heart. Give me a glass of water and sit next to Kezia.

"I'm OK." replied Kezia who as much as possible displays a smile to make Leah believe.

But Leah is not that easy to lie to. Leah knew Kezia's nature. How the woman lied from the look in her eyes that looked sad and worried.

"You're not good enough to lie to me. Relax, Kez. Rafael has closed all connections so your tracks can't be traced" Leah said to ease Kezia's worries.

But Kezia did not feel good in the least. His heart did not stop beating. This feeling, the feeling he had once felt when Vernon was angry and took away everything that was on Kezia. At that time Kezia was an innocent girl. The naive girl with her love that covers up Vernon's vices.

Kezia squeezed out the strong dress she was wearing and looked at Leah with glazed eyes, "When or later she will find me, Le. You know, he has a lot of connections even he's working with the Black Center" Kezia said bitterly.

The Black Center is the largest and most dangerous mafia group. The leader is the final successor of the Gio clan named Petra. He said the man named Petra would do anything to achieve his goal. Petra also became one of Vernon's close friends. So no wonder if the person who wanted to take down Vernon would disappear after the enemy's plan was thwarted.

"I know, Kez. But Rafael will try to avoid Vernon's men. Raphael had also fallen into a dark world. Now think good, think of your son. Don't think about that jerk." Leah held tightly onto Kezia's two shoulders. Trying to calm Kezia down.

Kezia looked at the friend who had been helping himself with grief. Given how well Leah and Rafael have helped Kezia so far.

"Thank you, Le, you've always helped me. I don't know what my life would be like without your help or Rafael's. You guys are so good." Kezia said sincerely and started sobbing.

"I love you very much. You remember, Kez? You were the one who helped me when Rafael wasn't free from the dark world. So, I'm also grateful to you."

Kezia nodded and hugged Leah tightly. Trying to stop her crying that began to break. Kezia should calm his mind as well as his heart. He did not want to linger - long to be in contention.

Kezia returns home to put Excelo to bed in the room. When he returned to the living room, the door of his house was knocked several times.

"Yes a minute."

"Hi." said.

"Figo?" Kezia let the man in.

"Excelo sleeping?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Oh so. I brought toys for him." Figo, Kezia's friend or rather Kezia and Leah's neighbors picked up the gift box he was carrying.

Kezia sighed, "You just gave a toy to my son yesterday. Look, the room is like a toy store" he said with an upset breath.

Figo is like a father to Excelo. The man was just like Leah who always urged Kezia to accept the item they bought for Excelo. Kezia never thought about how to get the two of them to stop giving a lot of things that Kezia might not be able to reply.

Figo chuckled. Seeing the look on Kezia's adorable face made the burden of her work slightly subside. "Can't it? Excelo I've considered my own son." said Figo.

This time Kezia pinched Figo's stomach hard. "Quick find a wife there. I don't want Excelo to make people misunderstand me and think you're the father" Kezia said, accepting Figo's gift.

"It's okay - what. I'll also be your husband after you divorce the man b*****n that." said Figo flatly then sat down on one of the living room couches.

"You always talk senseless."

"Whatever."

Kezia waltzes off to the kitchen to make Figo a coffee. The man often visited Kezia to help her in taking care of the house. Not infrequently Excelo is very happy when carried by the man.

Even if the baby still wakes up and hears Figo's voice, maybe the boy will walk around limping and asking to be carried by Figo. Figo and Excelo are very close. Many people even think that Figo is Excelo's father when the three of them go to a place like a mall or baby store.
