Yuan walked out of his mother's restaurant, he stepped into the parking lot, where he saw Rose standing next to his car.
Yuan looked at Rose with a sigh, as he remembered, he told the girl to get into the car and wait for him inside. Why was Rose standing next to her car?
Was he not tired of standing like that? Ah base, the girl. — Inner Yuan.
“Eh wait a minute, if he has been standing next to my car since, it means that when daddy came earlier, dad must have seen it right? Holy hooch! How'this? What dad would suspect?” muttered Yuan while stopping his steps, then for a moment he looked back, looking at his mother's restaurant.
“Yuan, what's wrong? Is there anything left inside?” rose asked Yuan who was a few meters away from him.
Yuan turned his head back towards Rose, he smiled with his head shaking slightly.
“No.” replied Yuan. After which, he stepped his legs back, approaching towards Rose.
“Why didn't you get in the car? I told you to get in the car and wait for me inside. You stood here long enough, didn't you feel tired? Why do you like to trouble yourself so much?” yuan said as she tidied up the strands of Rose's hair that covered the girl's face.
Rose smiled. But it was not a sweet or warm smile that he displayed, but rather a smile that revealed his growling and uneasiness to Yuan.
“What's with your smile?” yuan asked, feeling astonished, because normally he never got such a smile from Rose.
“I know you told me to get in the car, I remember it, I didn't forget, let alone accidentally forget it. But the thing is, how do I get in the car if you don't give me the keys? Look, you see, the door is still locked perfectly.” Rose said, making Yuan only able to respond with a wide smile featuring a row of white teeth.
“Ah yes, sorry yes dear, I— forgot.” said Yuan while scratching his head that did not feel itchy.
Rose breathed, though,
“No problem.” said.
“But if you know the car door is still in the lock and I haven't given you the car keys yet, why don't you go back inside and ask me for the keys?” ask Yuan.
“Yuan, didn't you just say you wanted to talk to your mother. I how could I suddenly come in while you guys are talking about something, it's so disrespectful.” Rose said.
“You consider yourself a stranger huh? Why are you saying as if I were talking to that mom you can't hear her?” ask Yuan.
Rose sighed again, the girl looked at Yuan while confirming her sling bag.
“Don't I hear it? That's why you told me to get out of the room first and wait for you in the car. You're like that, if it wasn't for me not to hear your mother and you, then what else?” said Rose.
“Rose, are you suspicious of me? Do you think I'm talking about something bad about you with my mommy?” ask Yuan
“Yes, I was suspicious of you, but I didn't suspect that you were going to talk badly about me. Besides, even though I suspected you, my heart still believed in you. Shitty right?” said Rose.
Yuan looked at Rose, for a moment he fell silent in that gaze. Then a tremor in his pants pocket, made Yuan flinch from what he was thinking.
Yuan immediately picked up the phone he had stored in his pants pocket.
When the phone screen was on, a message came in from his mother. Anna sent him a short message.
‘My dear son, you and Rose have left the restaurant yet? Dad and your mommy are gonna be out of the restaurant soon. Do not let you have not gone from the restaurant and make your daddy see you two.’ — Ana said in a short message.
After reading the message, Yuan immediately turned his head back, staring at the translucent window glass that could display the atmosphere inside the restaurant.
From out there, Yuan could see his mother and his father looking fresh out of the room.
Looking at her parents, Yuan moved quickly, suddenly opening the door of her car and pushing Rose slowly, telling the girl to quickly get into her car.
“Yuan, what's wrong? Why do you look like a panicked person?” rose asked, feeling strange about her lover's attitude.
“Ssttt... just shut up. Later on the road I'll tell you. I pledge. But now, shut up and obey.” said Yuan who then immediately closed the door on the left side of the car.
After closing the car door, Yuan stepped foot to the right side of the car. He got in the car, put up his seatbelt, then started the engine, as quickly as possible out of his mother's restaurant area.
Just as Yuan's car left the parking area of Ana's restaurant. Just then, Ray and Ana step out of the restaurant.
“Isn't that Yuan's car?” ask Ray.
Ana, who had previously seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, now turned to look at Ray who was standing next to her.
“Yes, did your tiredness make you forget your own kid's car? Isn't that car, you bought it directly for Yuan? Ck, how could you forget.” Ana said as she hooked her hand to her husband's arm.
“Come quickly, we go home.” Ana said, then she pulled Ray's arm. But, the man felt like a huge stone that did not move.
Ana turned back to her husband, and she frowned in wonder looking at Ray.
“What's up?” ask Ana.
“So I also thought that it was Yuan's car. But when I just came and parked my car. I saw the girl who helped Kenan, she— if I don't remember her name wrong, she's Rose, ah yes Rose, I saw her trying to open the car door. But it seems, the car was locked, so he was just standing in front of the car door.” Ray said.
Hearing her husband's words, Ana felt like she wanted to pat Yuan on the forehead. How could the child act carelessly, if it was like this, Ana should how to give an excuse to Ray?
“Ah that, you may have seen wrong baby. You may be too exhausted so your vision is a little disturbed as well.” Ana said.
“Eh? Is it tired to make people like that? But I really don't see it wrong, I really remember it clearly. Did he get in the wrong car?” said Ray.
“Oh yes! Right, maybe Rose got in the wrong car. He sometimes came home from work to pick up his cousin, I often see him, his cousin's car does look the same as Yuan.” car said Ana, forced to lie to Ray.
Ray nodded his head, like someone who had understood what Ana had just said.
“Berarti— Rose's cousin is from a fairly rich family too huh? Though the Yuan car was a special message, if it looks exactly the same as it— means family cousin Rose— ”
“Darling, never mind, you're thinking too much about other people's families. Besides, does it matter now? What's more important now is let's go home quickly. The problem is, not only are you tired, I am also tired.” said Ana, saying, deliberately cut off Ray's conversation so that her husband stopped talking about the ins and outs of Rose or anything related to her child's lover.
“Ah yes, alright.” said Ray, obey his wife's words. After that, he walked after Ana who had already stepped in the direction of their car.
Alex parked his car in front of an arts and culture faculty building.
Not long after he parked his car, Alex got out of the car, then closed the car door again, then stepped into the multi-story building.
“Alex? Is that you?” said a woman who accidentally saw Alex.
Hearing his name, Alex turned his head, staring at the source of the voice that had called his name.
“Oh Rachel, you turned out, how are you? Long time no see, last time we met at President Barack's birthday party. Then, a few days later, I heard the news that you were sick. Are you better now?” alex asked, greeting the mother of his son.
Rachel, the woman who called Alex's name earlier, she smiled because she got a friendly greeting from Alex.
“Eh, have you also heard the news that I am sick? Now that I'm fine, as you can see right now, I'm fine. Oh yeah, how's Miss Calista? I heard it from Nana, said Nana, Miss Calista has improved. But even so, he said— he still needs special care. I'm sorry about his condition.” said Rachel.
Alex smiled, though,
“Well, he's fine. But not entirely good either. After all, my mother's age was no longer middle-aged let alone young. He's already into his senior year. Doctor Liam said, it is very natural for people who are old to get sick easily. But first thank you, you already want to ask him the news and worry about him.” said Alex who returned to Rachel with a thin smile.
“Did you come here to pick up Nana?” rachel asked, changing the subject.
Alex responded with a nod.
“Yes, a few days ago, I promised her that today I would come to campus and pick her up. You— let it go, right?”
Rachel sighed, inwardly saying that she actually really did not want to curb Nana in the affairs of the girl's real father.
But sometimes, when he sees Yohan who slowly has a distance with Nana because Alex is too close to his daughter. Rachel was afraid, she was afraid that something she did not expect would happen.
But, if it's like this, how could he refuse a request from Alex who asked for permission to pick up Nana.
Right now, Rachel could only nod and agree to it.
“Iya, please. After all, you're still his real father. It's natural for you to meet him. Ah, then, I left first, there's still a lot of work to be done. See you Alex, say hello to your family and my sister Ana.”, Rachel said.
“Ya, sure. Thanks.” says Alex.
After that, Rachel left in front of Alex. The woman who had entered middle age walked into the art faculty building, she walked towards the lecturer room.
Not long after, Alex also went inside. But, again and again, as he was stepping foot to meet Nana. Someone called his name back. But, this time the one who called out to him was a young man, and again, the man called out to Alex with a very polite call.
“Presdir Alex?”
Alex turned his head towards his right side, looking at a man with an age who looked the same age as his daughter.
“Oh? You who?” ask Alex.
“Ah, sorry in advance, introduce my name Julian, I am a friend of Nana as well as the son of manager Jim, therefore I know you.” said Julian, the man who called Alex.
“Oh.” says Alex, potluck.
Ah, it turned out to be just a kid who was making small talk to me. Just ignore. — Inner Alex.
“Eh that, president Alex, are you looking to meet with Nana?” julian asked who was replied with a nod by Alex.
“Iya.” replied Alex, briefly.
“But just now, just— Nana, she's gone with Kai.” Julian said.
“What? Who did you say just left?” alex asked, asking Julian to repeat his words again.
“Nana, she just got on her car Kai” replied Julian.
“Kai?” alex said, repeating the name called by Julian.
“Iya.” reply Julian.
Kai? Like I've heard that name before, but where? Uh! Ja. He was the guy who was accompanying Nana to pick me up at the airport, he was also the guy I met at the night market with Nana. How could I have forgotten. But why did Nana go with him? And why didn't my daughter tell me she wanted to go home with her boyfriend. Even my little elf forgot her promise with me. — inner Alex, between sad and jealous.
“Hey boy, what was your name?” ask Alex to Julian.
“Eh, my name is Julian, president.” replied Julian, politely.
“Ah yes, Julian, do you know where they go?”
Julian seemed to scratch his head, he himself also did not know where the two went, because he thought it was not important to him. If only he had known that he would meet Alex who would ask him this question. Julian must have asked Kai or Nana about where they were going.
“Sorry president, I don't know. But chances are— they usually go to the hill that is at the very end of the city park. It's also still a possibility, I really don't know for sure. Sorry president Alex.” Julian said.
Alex smiled kindly,
“No problem, thanks for the information, it's enough for me. Oh yeah, from now on you don't call me president anymore. Just call uncle Alex, after all you're Nana's friend, my daughter.” Alex said.
“Ah yes, yes, I understand uncle Alex.” Julian said with a happy smile.
“Yes, then, I go first.” said Alex who then went out of the art and culture faculty building.
