Papa Varest's Message

"What do you see, Re?"

Mama Jenny's voice spread Rea's daydream until the woman sitting in the wooden window frame was shocked. Rea stood up and approached the Mama who seemed not to take her eyes off observing a sad expression that was very clearly visible from Rea's face.

"Where's Zee?" asked Rea to find the Son was not near his mother

"You know Zee's here yet?" Mama Jenny paused her words, her hands outstretched around Rea's shoulders, "Did you also know that Varest was here too"

Rea did not reply, turning his face to the side while saying, "Zee can't come alone Ma, of course that person will take my child here"

Mama Jenny did not immediately reply, he noticed the facial features with clear eye bags were over, "Well, that person will definitely deliver your child, because he does not have the right to Zee, he said, that person isn't Papa Zee or maybe we can call your son now by the name of Alen?" He emphasized every word.

Rea was fixated, his eyes were heating up he could not deny if the sentence spoken by his mother sounded quite rude, he said, currently, Rea is very avoidant to deal with the man who has become a father, continued his son, but his instincts as a wife still work well.

It hurts to imagine that the words he heard were also heard directly by Varest, he realizes that even Varest's affection for Zee is greater than that of someone who only cares for and raises.

Her tears were dripping but she immediately wiped them off violently, and looked back at Mama Jenny softly, "Please Ma, right now Rea doesn't want to discuss that, Rea wants to see Zee"

Mama Jenny let out a slow breath, after which she said, "He's with your Papa in the room"

After getting an answer to his question, Rea began to walk away from the mother who was still standing at the door of her room. His smile immediately expands when he sees Zee climbing the stairs with his Papa Abhi-Opanya.

"Mamaaaa" Shouted the chubby-cheeked boy excitedly as he looked up and found Rea was waiting for him by stretching out his hands.

Zee releases her grip on Opanya and runs to Mama ignoring the call telling her to be careful until she falls over tripping on her own feet, Rea panics to see Zee sitting on the floor, rea quickly picked up Zee and sat the boy on his shoulder.

"Zee is okay, right?" rubbed Zee's knee that was slightly red because of the fall earlier

The cute boy shook his head a few times, "Ji's fine Ma" he said but with lips that started to curl.

Rea smiled faintly at Zee's overly restrained exertion, "His knee hurts well?" rea asked, his hand clutching Zee's body into his arms, "If Zee wants to cry it's okay, it won't make Zee's handsome disappear"

Zee again shook his head strongly not completely in agreement with his mother's words, however he did feel pain in his knee but remembering the message Papa enough to make him endure not to cry.

"Said Papa Ji can not cry, later Mama sad"

Rea pulled the tip of her thin lips turned to her parents who were looking at their interactions.

"Mama's not sad, there's Zee here, so Mama's gonna be happy"

"But Papa Kasian, Papa sad nights if Mama tidul lumah Oma same Opa, Ji nights can not roll kalna Papa hugging Ji transparent" complained Zee Long, who was, she said what she saw and felt last night before she slept in Varest's arms.

Zee led the Mama back to crouch after hugging her neck and closing her lips to whisper, a whisper that Oma and Opanya could still hear. The sentence that instantly made Rea's heart tremble was made.

"### This is a hug in Papa, Papa had the same message Ji to replace Papa hug Mama, telus said Papa dear Mama Sami Ji also"

"Can't you just drink vanilla milk, Rest?"

Andi carried Varest's tall body into the bedroom, all the way home the hipped man continued to babble to Varest who, although shouted at, still would not chimed in or even just hear what he was talking about.

After Varest's return from Rea's house this morning, the man went straight to the cafe to work on a report that had been delayed due to the Mama Nimas incident that called him. Although with a branched mind Varest still trying to stay focused with what he was doing, until the afternoon he gave the order to close the cafe earlier than usual.

Varest wandered the streets without direction, for almost two hours flashing from place to place until he decided to do something he had never done before.

The noise from the room was heard until it came out, the dim light and round lights with various colors were enough to make Varest's head spin. his feet stepped hesitantly towards the bar table which seemed to be lined with bottles of drinks from non-alcoholic to those with high alcohol content.

Varest sat in one of the chairs watching the bustling atmosphere of the bar, with the man ordering a drink.

"Is there any Vodka?" ask Varest doubtfully

One of the bartenders who saw Varest's doubts was seen smiling understandably, Varest's clothes and face showed strongly that he was not a man who liked alcoholic beverages.

"You want me to make you a Mocktail, sir?" tanyanya offers

"No, I want Vodka or Brandy, you have one, right?"

The bartender nodded, his hands agilely concocting Varest's order until a few minutes later the drink was already available in front of Varest.

And this is where the man now looks helpless instead of hearing the ravings of his best friend Andi he can only mumble softly.

"Gosh, you're too stylized a rancid boy.you can drink so much without parental supervision" Andi still blabbed while taking off Varest's shoes.

"If I hadn't found you, what would have been you in the middle of that person?"

"Whispering" Varest muttered as he threw a pillow.

"So if you still dare to go to such a place, at least you can contact me, why should you keep your own pain if you can share?" Andi sat on the bedside watching Varest who looked so pitiful.

"I miss my son and my wife, Ndi"
