THE PERPETRATOR (You Cheated, I'm Two)

Ariel

"Awaaass...." Naya shouted standing up quickly running.

"Yesameya....!!"

Ckiiittt.....

Andrian stared, he breathed a sigh of relief that the car did not hit his wife's body. Just a little more, and fortunately the car immediately braked.

Naya crouched down hugging the tiny body of the crying boy. Andrian ran to embrace Naya, grateful that his wife was fine.

"Are you okay, baby? is anyone hurt? where's that sick?" Andrian was worried, researching every body of his wife.

"I'm fine, Bee." she shook her head as she rubbed the little boy's back.

Blug...

The person in the car out closed the door violently.

"If you look around! you guys have no eyes anyway? haphazardly, fortunately I was quick to brake otherwise my car had been scuffed because of you guys." he screeched on his waist to scold them.

"Heeiii, you should have looked around! It's a public road, a lot of people are passing by here and you're just running the car at high speed. If anything happens to my wife, I'll drag her to the bars!" jak Andrian did not lose loudly did not accept his wife in anger.

Naya stood up while holding the little boy. "I'm sorry because I've made you almost wretched."

The man's eyes turned to look at Naya's face. "You almost got me in jail" he said, stepping into the car again and leaving the place.

"Honey, why are you apologizing to her, you're not wrong."

"I was wrong to cross. No, don't talk about this first. This kid's a bitch."

"Where are your parents, baby?" tanya Naya gently wiped away the tears that had soaked her chubby cheeks.

The toddler shook his head, his tears coming back.

"Honey, where's your house?" ask Naya back. And, the boy shook his head again. Naya saw Andrian.

"Do you have parents?" this time it was Andrian who asked and the boy nodded.

"He nodded, meaning to have parents. Is this kid separated from his parents, Bee?"

"Looks like. In the house where the boy shook his head, it's a sign that he didn't memorize the way of his house."

"Darling, I feel sorry for this kid. We just take it, if it is stored here afraid of why-why. Later, if anyone's looking, we can give it back."

Andrian thought, what he said Naya has a point as well.

"Wait a minute!" Andrian asked the people who were there about who the little boy was and they didn't know.

"Nay, they don't recognize this kid. Let's just take it home. Do you want to come with us?" andrian asked the toddler, and he nodded.

They took her because they could not leave a child alone on the road.

Tristan Residence

"What!! why is Ariel missing?"

"I'm there now!" claudia was surprised her son was missing.

Claudia immediately turned off her dial connection, picked up the bag and rushed off to see her nanny.

His heart was agitated, his mind was in turmoil, his hands were trembling in fear of something happening to the person he cared about. Ariel is the only one he has, Ariel is the only one who gets him excited about living his life.

"Lord, please take care of my son wherever he is. Don't let the bad guys hurt him. Even if he meets someone, help you meet him with a good person" he prayed in his heart.

After traveling quite a distance, Claudia reached the place where her nanny was.

"Anu, non. We were playing here, Ariel running after a chopped ice tradesman. Aunty lost track of her because she was lost in a crowd of people," explained caregiver Ariel looking down guiltily.

"Geez!" Claudia was worried.

"We're looking again, who knows he's not far away and there's good people who found him." And, they both searched for Ariel's whereabouts.

"Sorry Mom, have you ever seen this kid?" tanya Claudia showed a photo of her son to one of the park visitors.

"No Son. I don't see it."

Claudia looked down sad. "Thank you, Mom." He is constantly looking for the whereabouts of the child.

He continued to wander around the area until he found the person selling ice cut.

"Auntie said Ariel wanted to get ice cut, who knows the father knew." he murmured to the seller.

"Sir, may I ask?"

"Yes, please neng!"

"Have you seen this boy?"

The father was seen looking at the photo on Claudia's phone.

"Ohh, this kid. He almost got hit by a car."

"What! So, how is my son? where is he now?" panicked cercanya.

"He's fine. A couple of husband and wife helped him. They also asked who the boy was, we didn't know and they took him away."

What the ice seller told me made Claudia lethargic. He had to go where else to find his son while the child could not talk when he was two years old and it would make it difficult for them to find out where to live and the name of his parents.

"Non, auntie didn't find it. They don't see Ariel." said Ariel's nanny terlogoh-pogoh approached Claudia.

"Something saved Ariel, bi. But, I don't know who he is? where else should I find my son?" she could not feel her tears dripping worried about the state of the child.

"I'm sorry aunt, non. Aunt has neglected to look after Ariel."

While at Andrian's residence, Naya was very enthusiastic to invite the toddler to play.

"Whose son is he, Al? it seems that Naya is very happy to be able to play with the child as well as her son." asked Marko who happened to stop by Andrian's house after returning from the office.

"Al doesn't know either, Pah. We found her alone on the street and Naya felt sorry then, we brought her here. When we asked, the boy could only answer nodding and shaking his head," Andrian replied, noticing that his wife was teaching the toddler to move the remote car he bought while on the road.

"We have to report this to the police, fearing you'll be accused of abducting a child."

"If you report to the police, the child is even detained by the police until his parents pick him up and it will make the child's spikis disturbed."

"But at least you'll be safe from kidnapping charges. And, if you have a report, you can propose to take care of it temporarily with the permission of the authorities."

Andrian was silent thinking about Marko's words that had a point as well. "Later take care of everything," he said.

Naya took the boy to her lap.

"If aunt could know, what's your name?" tanyanya while playing the car remote.

The boy raised his hand to form one alphabet at a time and Naya noticed.

"A...R...I...E...L"

Seriate....
