The Fate Or Destiny

Eps. 20. It Should Be Perfect Today

The children were already sitting waiting on the steps of the side door of the shophouse with carefree faces. Keke rarely takes them for a walk because of the routine throughout the day, morning take care of the food, afternoon continues with a cake or dessert, sometimes late afternoon before the new night orders are completed.

Keke had been fighting with discomfort for the situation, but seeing the expressions of the two boys who were so happy, Keke tried to get rid of the reluctance in his heart.

"Mami Thethe. omen it cana. (sana)."

Lisya came closer to Keke who was sitting on the stairs to the top floor. The kids go straight down the street and Ben helps them get into the car.

"Mel.. big brother go yes.. door big brother key from outside..."

Keke shouted from where he was sitting. He picked up one of the black flatshoes on the staircase.

Finished locking the door, Keke stared at Ben who had not yet entered the car, looking very casual and fashionable. As already agreed to wear the same outfit with him, Ben uses faded blue jeans with a white polo shirt left outside, while Keke jeans with a white t-shirt. There were sunglasses perched on his nose, looking perfect. Keke quickly averted his eyes, before he had never judged the appearance of a man. His hand moved about to open the door in the second row...

"Good in front of Rens. There are children there..."

The sound of the bass but the calm from Benaya made Keke raise his head, finding Ben's smile on him. The smile that messed up the circuitry inside Keke's brain, so Keke just followed what Benaya asked without a rebuttal.

Keke is a mature woman who also has a taste. He can tell which is the friendly attitude of a man and which is the attitude of attention with frills. In silence he can digest Ben's attitude and Ben's gaze. He once knew of Ben's normal attitude toward women, and it didn't appear at all.

At first she accepts Ben's concern for them due to their family's closeness in the past. Ben insists he is not someone else, maybe Ben feels there is a family connection here he himself too. It may also be because of Ben's concern about him for the loss of his papi and mama.

But her sensitivity as a woman feels something else now. But he did not want to be rash and afraid of misinterpreting, so he just let Ben's attitudes as long as it was reasonable and acceptable to him. Anyway, Ben's been on a whim, so there's no way he's on a whim.

From behind the wheel Ben glanced at Keke who was sitting stiffly beside him. Ben plays the audio in the car, a soft song plays and occasionally Ben follows a small singing. Before long Keke was also carried away, although not singing, but Keke's stiff face began to soften. Occasionally also fingers on the hands above his thighs to move to the rhythm of the song. Ben who stole saw Keke's movements smiled a little. He understood now, Keke should be approached slowly, don't press him, he'll be away soon.

"Want to play in the playground?"

Ben asked a little backwards.

"Yica tatut... (Lisha's scared, there's a bad brother)."

"Why afraid?"

"Tata natay doyong Yica (Bad naughtiness thrust Yica)."

Ben's forehead is wrinkled yet to catch Lisya's intent.

"She played, there was a child who pushed her down, since then she doesn't want to anymore..."

Keke explained in his clear voice, not stiff anymore. Ben enjoyed it. The longer everything on Keke the more beautiful it is.

"If Omen is going to play?"

Ben is still trying to offer Lisya a play.

"Nda... Yica beyi yapa ja (don't want to, Yica bought a giraffe)."

"Buy what?"

"Grapah, Om Ben... Dede's giraffe doll has a lot of loh, buy more time?"

Livia connected later, as well as protesting at her sister's wishes.

"Yica wants to beyi bayu (buy a new one)"

Lisya's voice began to change...

"Eh... Don't cry, we'll get a giraffe, okay?"

"Yec.. beyi yapa..."

The afternoon was very sweet for Benaya, serving the wishes of two children with pleasure. What Yica Ben wants, Via is also initially still shy but then he follows his sister spoiled to Benaya.

"Eh. don't obey all the children's will..."

Keke approaches Ben while Via and Yica are picking hairbands and bandos at a booth selling all sorts of female twists.

"Nothing Rens, justin aja.. not every day right, see them hepi I also hepi kok..."

"Omen... boyeh bana-bana?"

"Rens??"

"Many..."

"Oh. can...can..."

Haha, the Rens sometimes become a translator if Ben is not connected to the same meaning Yica. Keke hepi also actually saw two of his bangs. He used to be so burdened to take care of them. Slowly from the feelings of pity and do not want them to experience the bitter thing because of the loss of both their parents, finally changed the affection of a mother. Who else would care about them other than her. And now there is the figure of Ben... The children so sticky to him, is it okay?

Finally after the cape circled around the mall with some plastic groceries that had been loaded on the trolly, now they were sitting waiting for orders at a famous pizza outlet. The two boys were sitting on the sofa in a place chosen by the waiter leaving two chairs side by side, Keke had no choice but to sit next to Benaya. Someone is really happy for sure.

"Pica bana bana..."

"Yes. eat a lot of... It's your Rens..."

"Sir Bens still remembers what I like..."

Keke's voice went into Ben's ear. Sensory functions in the nervous system of the body Benaya immediately respond to the sound well, Ben added hepi. A gentle smile she threw towards Keke who was looking at him.

"All about you still I remember well Rens..."

Keke pulled his gaze nervously..

He remember? All of? Meanin? Why was his voice and gaze like that?

Keke started eating a little restlessly, where their distance was so close. Sometimes they both clasped hands, and Keke felt like he had an electric shock. Ben seemed oblivious to it, but Keke was a bit distracted. He ate in silence while the children ate with a babble that did not stop asking this. Even the quiet Via became talkative at the moment. The presence of Ben gives a good stimulus to the emotions of the children apparently.

"Rens.. eat this yeah..."

Ben replaced the empty Fettuccine container with a plate containing a complete slice of pizza there was a sauce on the plate. Keke who had seen a family at the next table, so it feels strange served Ben, feels like served husband? Ahhe... Strange thoughts flashed, what if anyone recognized Ben, knew Ben's wife, then took a picture of them. Keke shook his head slowly expelling the uneasiness.

"Why? Don't like it?"

"Eh.. no..."

Keke was more silent. Ben let it go, not wanting to ask, he was afraid of being wrong again and did not want this happiness to stop. While walking out of the mall in the hallway between the shops near the toilet, Ben stopped lowering Lisya from his carrier and sat down on an available bench.

"Rens, I'm going to the toilet for a second..."

Unanswered, Keke pushed the trolly near the bench and sat down by Lisya's side, Livia also sat down.

A family passed by noisily, there was a small child in the sling of the mother who was grumbling, followed by a man who also replied to the woman's grunts with scolding. A few meters past them, Livia stood up and chased...

"Rapa..."

Keke could not hold back because Lisya was leaning on him. His former brother-in-law and his new family turned out. Keke watched anxiously. He pushed slowly from his body. And something happened to make Keke climb black, Via's hand was thrown by the man he called papa violently, Via grabbed back the man's hand and then Via's small body was pushed to the ground.

"Heh..breng sek! Why be rude to a child!!!"

Keke lifted up the body of Via who was already crying.

"Who's the one who bothers me..."

"Heh because you are the papa!!! Still good he remembers you!!!"

Keke yelled even more with anger.

"I have nothing to do with you, don't bother me..."

"Papaaaa.. hiksss..papa..."

Via still called his papa while crying. The boy recognized his father, there was a photo of him three papa mama tucked in his clothes. He was also grown when his father left.

"I'm not your father!!!"

Rocky's hand papa Livia almost pinned Livia's head if not immediately pushed off Keke.

"Bajing!!! Want to play hit??? Not a dime of your money makes them big... You tyre ci.. irresponsible!!! Good not to mention their papa!!!"

Keke stood in a stand-by manner with a fierce gaze facing this rude man, once again the hand of the man before him was raised then Keke would serve no fight at all. Via crying, Lisya was also heard crying on the bench, finally Keke went to pull Livia still with anger on her face. From behind a woman was about to attack Keke but his hand was quickly held back by Benaya's one hand.

"Don't play rough.you can get punished, there's a cctv here. I can also play rough if I want!!"

Ben's voice and his gaze were very intimidating, making Rocky's wife pull her hand and retreat.

"Go...!"

Heavy Ben's voice rang out again, he was still standing firmly between the couple with Keke and the children. Keke sat down the sobbing Via on the bench next to Lisya who was also crying right now. The family left, their son was also screaming.

Keke was confused who would calm down, his two pounders were already crying. He could only hug the two. Before this, they were very happy. A trenchant taste crept in Keke's heart seeing these two boys.

A swab he felt in his head for a while, but the strange sense of being left so attached. There was a soft voice that followed later...

"Rens.. We go home..."

Keke did not answer but he stood up and realized there were some people watching them, yes they were in a crowded place. Keke held onto Lisya who was still crying out for pleasure. Trolly's been pushed by a security guard, not knowing when Ben called him. He followed Ben who was already holding Via. It should be perfect today, but...
