KUSUT season 2



The seven-monthly event at Davin's luxurious residence was quite lively with the presence of their entire extended family. Moreover, Ken also invited Ritsuki to visit Indonesia for the first time for the young girl.


Ritsuki, who is not fluent in Indonesian, chooses to be quiet and listen to the chat of his new family, wants to join in chiming in, he does not really understand what they are talking about.


Ken occasionally tells the meaning of their words to Ritsuki. Although the man looked cold to his younger brother, Ken never left Ritsuki alone and would make the girl feel alienated later.


And now the show is over. According to parents, Davin and Alsa's first child was male. However, both Davin and Alsa never bother to have a boy or girl their first child later.


Because the most important thing is the health of the baby and the mother herself, it is the most important for Davin.


Now they're gathering in Davin's backyard. The atmosphere is so warm as it is now very difficult for them to get, for that both Alsa and Davin do not want to lose the happy moment and decide that the whole family relax while chatting lightly. A bonfire and grilled corn will accompany a happy night for the Wijaya family.


"Wear this," said Davin, wearing his jacket and scarf for Alsa, who he did not want to invite into the house. His wife was indeed very stubborn since the age of her womb entering the fifth month. If his will was not obeyed, the woman would be angry and silence Davin for more than three days. Even if it was just a trivial matter.


"We already have a partner here .. live my cousin Adek doang kayaknya who is still at home mgejomblo." Gerry deliberately insinuated Ken who was busy with a cellphone in his hand. I don't know that the man was deliberately busy himself so as not to feel so sick when he saw Alsa and Davin who were so friendly, or indeed he was busy playing online games like the last few weeks.


"Same as grilled corn!" ketus Ken chimed in on Gerry's innuendo.


"When do you want to give Auntie a grandchild, Ken?" now it's Vani's turn to ask something that always makes Ken's mood worse.


"Ntar, Tan," said Ken as if he did not care, the man was busy playing online games with Ritsuki who was also staring seriously at his cellphone screen.


"From last year also ntar-ntar mulu!" Gerry seemed to give the cooked grilled corn to everyone there. The man was in charge of burning corn along with Levin and Davin.


And don't forget Alsa who keeps clinging to her husband.


"Gue is a fiancee! Masa'u is still a karatan singles," chirped Levin who is embraced by Tyas so enthusiastically.


"The two of you are together!" ken's frontal remarks led Tyas to throw a pea shell at him.


"Anyway by the way!" refute Tyas who continues with a fight with Ken. Maybe the ex forgot, if in the business of fighting and beratai people, Ken jaga.


"Yaaahhh, lose," complained Ritsuki softly. Ken, who remembers the game with his younger brother, hurriedly looks at the screen of his phone, and sure enough what Ritsuki said, Ritsuki, they lost because Ken was more concerned with fighting than continuing the game on his smartphone.


"Follow up!" pickle Ken on Tyas after seeing Ritsuki's bent look. The man felt a little guilty towards the young girl beside him.


"My shell?! It's just you who can't maen! You are the Cemen!" kilah Tyas is fully supported by Levin, if to upset Kenzo, they are both experts.


"Lu who I'm sure is making a fuss about Mulu from earlier, *******!"


CTAK!


"Akh!" pekik Ken Kala got a pretty loud jolt in from Davin, the man carrying a serving of spaghetti for Ken.


"If you are guarded!" hardik Davin to Ken who grieves is upset at him.


"Cih," decanted Ken once again.


CTAK!


Twice Ken got a hard enough jolt, making him reflexes to hold his forehead that felt quite painful.


"Eat first, you didn't eat anything, did you?" Davin patted Ken on the shoulder slowly, the younger man just stared at Davin with a hard-to-understand look.


"Mr my attention?" ask Ken not to believe it. Davin smiled briefly and nodded faintly.


"I always look out for everyone near me, including you. I'm glad you came to fulfill my invitation. I was pessimistic about waiting for you here." Davin saw the young man in front of him looking down, staring at the plate of food he was holding.


"Thank you, because you still want to pay attention to me" said Ken who felt touched just because of Davin's small actions.


"A lot of people love you, Ken. They also always pay attention to you, especially Alsa ... she is always worried about the situation of you who live alone there." Davin recalls that Alsa was always worried about Ken's situation if the New York winter had arrived. Ken hated winter so much, for the man winter was just like the worst day of the year.


"But, he felt calm after there was Ritsuki beside you, Ken." Davin saw the man looking at Ritsuki who was talking to Grace. It seemed that his gaze was dimmed in the fog of sadness that Davin himself did not know what caused the sadness to appear.


"I just love Alsa, sir. My whole life," said Ken with a view that can not be separated from the figure of Ritsuki. Davin just smiled faintly, the man knew that Ken was hiding something from everyone. The boy was indeed less open to anyone other than Alsa.


"If you did love Alsa, you wouldn't be this light as expressing your love for her in front of me. And again, it should be when you say that, your gaze is on Alsa, not on Ritsuki" explained Davin who made Ken back down. Davin rubbed the top of Kenzo's head briefly, knowing the young man in front of him needed a friend to tell a story.


"I must hate him, Mr. .. I mustn't look weak." Davin follows Kenzo's view that leads to Ritsuki.


"What's wrong?" davin asked confusedly, "let's just say if you have a problem, Ken."


"That ritsuki is the son of Izumi, my stepmother. She's a bad woman, she's ruined my family. Even because of the woman, I was evicted from my home and had to separate from my Dad. It's not fair to me if his son doesn't live to suffer." Ken said softly and softly. The dark shadows of the past flashed filled his mind. Her mother's cries when the woman quarreled with her husband, her father's slap on her Mother, until the departure of her Mother and Brother, all re-twisted in Kenzo's brain.


He wanted to cry, but his tears felt dry only to cry for the poor rice experienced by his mother and sister.


"Ritsuki is not wrong, he does not understand anything about the problems created by his mother. Look at him, he looks very cheerful and depends on you. And I think you've been taking care of it pretty well. Not like you said you wanted to hurt her."


"Yes .. 'cause I'm weak."


Ken confirmed Davin's remarks, all this time he did take care of Ritsuki quite well even though he looked sniffy at the girl. It is undeniable, if Ken indeed began to fall in love with the figure of the innocent girl.


"Ken, we're all here loving you. After all you are part of our family, and I hope that you can also give that affection to Ritsuki. Try to be at peace with your own heart, Ken." Davin smiled and held Kenzo's hand, making the young man stare at Davin with a hard-to-understand look. To be honest, Kenzo felt overwhelmed by all the words Davin had made for him.


"I love my dad too." Kenzo returned Davin's hand.


"Wasn?" Davin reflexively pulled his hand quickly. Suddenly, he felt his fur on his back standing when he saw Ken smiling at him. The man quickly shifted his seat.


"So really, I love you too." Ken further affirmed his words, while Davin continued to retreat with a sudden feeling of fear as Ken continued to advance closer to him.


"Soyal Father is like a big brother figure to me," continued Ken who made Davin breathe a sigh of relief.


"Mrs ... ."


"So you look so relieved?" ken asked confusedly. He still maintained his face and seemed not to pay attention to the pale face of Davin because he had previously been mistaken for Ken.


***


Later that night Kenzo and Ritsuki decide to stay at Davin's residence. Maybe for the next few days too. If Grace and Gerry choose to return to their old parents' house with Hiro and Vani, Ken is reluctant to return to his lonely apartment. In addition, Kenzo's apartment bears a silent witness to how cruel he used to be to Alsa.


When remembering past events, Kenzo is always overwhelmed with guilt. People say that regrets always come too late. But he promises in his heart to be a better person to make amends for his past mistakes.


Kenzo tries to close his eyes and hopes that all the bad memories have been lost as he closes his eyes. However, it was precisely Ritsuki's shadow that now filled his head. His heart was beating faster than usual.


Unlike someone who was frightened or someone filled with anger, his heartbeat this time was different. Like the middle man .. - fall in love?


"Why can't I hate him?" he murmured in Japanese. Kenzo seemed to want to curse himself when he reneged on his promise in his heart.


He had promised to make Ritsuki feel the same suffering as it seemed, but the opposite happened, he actually felt affection for his new sister.


Tok ... tok ...


The sound of Kenzo's room door being knocked slowly, but he was just about to enter the dreamland in just a matter of seconds. However, he again had to wake up because of the sound of knocking on the door.


With a lazy Ken walked there and opened the door of his room that he had not had time to lock.


"Sister." Ritsuki called out to Kenzo in a soft voice as the door opened and displayed the figure of his handsome brother. Kenzo gasped in shock, his heart beating so fast it felt like he wanted to jump out of his chest cavity.


The man was misbehaved, he slightly cleared his throat and reassembled his cold natural, in order to maintain his image, "my room light is broken," continued Ritsuki while looking down. The girl would rather look at the tip of her slippers than look at her brother's eyes which would make it difficult for her to breathe.


"Hm?" The insensitive Kenzo just muttered indistinctly, making Ritsuki even more misbehaved and confused.


"Can you replace it? I ... I. am afraid of the dark," he said softly and barely heard at the end of his sentence.


"Attent." Kenzo came out of his room followed by the Little Sister in the back, the man also tried to be as normal as possible in front of Ritsuki.


PATS!


"Yeah!!" Ritsuki screamed loudly when the lights in Davin's house suddenly died, it was pitch black and the girl was very afraid of the darkness. The shadow when he was locked up by Kenzo's father in the darkened pavilion, was again present in his memory.


Unknowingly Ritsuki sobbed with a trembling body. Kenzo who noticed the change from Ritsuki, immediately pulled the girl in his arms. Gently rubbed the girl's back and whispered sedative words to Ritsuki.


Elsewhere ....


"Nealain is not?" levin asked, who was near the electric panel of Davin's house, the man along with Tyas who was holding a flashlight.


"Ntar first! Nanggung," said Alsa who was looking at the romantic scene of two people who are now in the middle room.


"There's no kisses, huh?" ask Davin who feels his own grunt when he sees Kenzo who just hugs Ritsuki and calms the girl down. It seemed like the scene Davin was looking forward to would never happen.


"Basic gum!" scorn Alsa whose waist is now being hugged by the Husband from behind.


"Si Kenzo is still a man, why so tired?" hajat Davin who actually upset himself with Kenzo who felt could not act quickly (it seems Davin forgot what he used to be like).


"Remember first, Brother, before speaking," whispered Alsa who succeeded in making Davin silent, unlike Levin and Tyas who had been holding their laughter back so as not to get up suddenly.


"Your cadre, Al," Tyas half-whispered.


"Where?" ask Levin who is now coming closer to the position of Alsa and Davin. Not to forget Tyas who is also busy looking for a place to watch the romantic scene in person.


"This is if the family has less picnics!" levin told Davin who was now glaring at him. Luckily it was dark, so Levin could not see Davin's eyes, which were glaring at him, as if skinning him alive.


"Don't be afraid, I'm here" said Kenzo, who now calmed Ritsuki in his arms.


"Don't leave me, brother, I won't go back to the pavilion." Ritsuki trembled fearfully in Ken's arms. While Ken himself is trying to neutralize his heartbeat that feels abnormal.


"I'll never leave you, I won't."


"Really?" ask Ritsuki hoping Kenzo says 'yes'.


"Yes, I promise I won't leave you."


"Jsjdnjfjfjdjkx ... ." Kenzo whose hearing is sharp, felt the sound of some people who were whispering whatever it was.


"Be quiet here" said Kenzo, who told the girl to stay still.


Immediately he snatched a flashlight lying on the table near the second-floor staircase, he settled quietly towards the source of the sound, and ...


PATS!


Like a thief who was caught by the owner of the house, the four people who were busy peering while arguing that their reflexes were misbehaved when their actions were discovered by Kenzo who immediately glanced at their faces one by one.


Kenzo just shook his head like a parent who was looking at the mischief of his children. Davin scratched his nape clumsily.


"A bad example" said Kenzo, looking at Davin. Feeling himself being cornered, the 35-year-old pulled the Wife to stand nearby.


"It's all Alsa's ideas, but I've banned them" said Davin, who did not want his image to be bad. While Alsa just glared annoyed at the husband who smiled awkwardly.


"Sister Davin, from tonight until next week, Brother sleeps outside!" alsa's successful ultimatum puts Davin in his place, while Levin turns on the lights of their home.


"Patiently, sir. It's a test" Kenzo said, patting Davin's shoulder as if he felt sorry for the man. Though in his heart he was widened when he saw the face of Davin who suddenly looked sour.


"Shut up!" hiss Davin who felt like he wanted to stuff Kenzo's mouth with a grenade.


Sleeping outside for Davin was a disaster. Moreover, Alsa is very difficult to melt lately, maybe the baby is born.


Imagining him who will not be able to embrace Alsa and perform rituals every day, making Davin seemed to want to turn the clock and choose not to interfere with the idea of his wife.
