The Red Thread of Destiny

Chapter 21

Six years later.

"Gol.." exclaimed a five-year-old boy along with his mother. Both of them are watching the football game with a frenzy.

"Ma, look at the ball sometime in the stadium yuk!" bring Elvan. He loves football because his mother also loves football.

"Yes later if mama's off and payday" replied Alenka.

"Now sleep!"

"However, haven't you finished the ball yet?"

"But it's a shame, El. Sleep on! Tomorrow Andreas took a walk" Alenka told her son.

All this time, Alenka lived with the help of Andreas. So, Alenka's son was quite close to Andreas. Because Andreas always gives him the attention and affection of a father.

Elvan said what his mother said. He was a good son, never denied the orders of his mother, a submissive and devoted child, also a fairly intelligent child among children his age.

"Ma, can I go to school in the city? Let's get on with Andreas." asked Elvan before he closed his eyes.

"What's the matter here?" ask Alenka.

"Said Andreas, in the city it's delicious, everything is there. Can you please ma?"

"But Mama works here, son."

"But at that time I was horrified om Andreas told mama, if mama is ready, mama can return to the office om Andreas in the city. Mom not ready yet, why?" ask again.

Alenka rounded her eyes. He did not expect that his son would hear his conversation with Andreas some time ago.

Andreas asked at the time. "When are you ready to go back?"

"Not yet, sir."

"If you're ready. I'll take you to the company again" Andreas said at the time.

Alenka really did not expect if Elvan heard the conversation. He did not answer his son's questions. Just tightened his embrace. "Bobok yuk!" said.

Elvan nodded his head. Seeing the sad face of his mother. Elvan no longer asked questions that would make her mother even sadder.

"Ma, can't I see my papa!" the longing that he has forever is not strong he is quiet anymore.

"Why is papa evil ma, why don't you want me? Why did papa leave me?" elvan's question made Alenka sad again.

"Your father doesn't leave you. He just doesn't know you exist." Alenka didn't want her son to hate her papa. No matter what Samuel did to him. He remains the biological father of his son.

"But why didn't you tell us?"

"Because.. Because your father has a life of his own. But it's not because you don't love me." Alenka tried to create a positive impression on her son on his father. Although he did not know whether Samuel really wanted his son or not.

"Sleep ah, mama is sleepy!" Elvan then curled up in his mother's arms.

Lovingly, Alenka kissed her son's forehead. The little guy that kept him alive all this time. The little guy who made him strong faced life that seemed unfair to him. The little guy who gave him the strength to keep going.

In the morning, the birds sang happily. The sun showed a bright smile. Alenka was preparing breakfast for her son. It just so happens today Sunday. He was rather calm as he did not rush to the office.

The steaming cooking smoke creates a distinctive fragrant aroma. Elvan's favorite chicken soup.

The smell of the food was smelled by Elvan's little nose. He opened his eyes and then sniffed the fragrance of his mother's cooking.

"During the morning, my boss." greeted Alenka as she watched her son walk into the kitchen.

"Mama cook chicken soup?" ask the five-year-old.

"Yes dong."

"Ah.. Make laper.." he said.

"Wash your face first, keep eating!" Alenka's orders.

Elvan then ran to the bathroom to wash her face at her mother's command. Then he went back to the kitchen for breakfast.

"Poppet.. Nyams.. Nyam's.." Elvan eats with gourmand. He really likes his mother's cooking, especially chicken soup.

"You want to add more?" Elvan nodded his head quickly.

"Eat a lot, let's spit big!" alenka said adding food to her son.

There was a car outside Alenka's house. Elvan jumped out of the chair and immediately ran to open the door. He knows who's coming.

"Om Andreas." he exclaimed as he ran towards the door.

And it's true. Andreas got out of the car with some toys. That is what Elvan is waiting for.

"Of Andreas.."

"Hallo champ, um.." Andeas crouched down then Elvan immediately hugged him.

"This is for me?"

"No. Does Elvan want this toy?" Elvan immediately nodded his head quickly.

"If you want to.." Andreas pointed at his cheek.

Elvan knows what Andreas means. He immediately kissed Andreas' cheek repeatedly. "Fruit.. Muahs.. Muahs.."

Andreas smiled happily. He then gave the toy he had brought to Elvan. In fact, he deliberately bought the toy was indeed for Elvan.

"Sir Andreas why bother anyway?" Alenka also walked out of the house.

"It's okay. I'm glad that Elvan is also cool." replied Andreas.

"Sir Andreas has breakfast?" Andreas shook his head. He left early in the morning from home.

"Let's have breakfast!" bring Alenka.

For six years. Andreas is used to Alenka. Every time she came, Alenka often cooked for her. Andreas was like a big brother to Alenka.

Andreas enters Alenka's house. He immediately went to the kitchen to have breakfast with Elvan and Alenka.

"Om taking me to my mom's hometown, right? I promise you!" ask Elvan.

Alenka rounded her eyes. He never knew about the promise. "To mom's hometown?"

"Yes ma. Om Andreas wants to take me for a walk there. He said while looking around at the school there." answered Elvan honestly.

"Sir??"

"Yes. I promised to take him there." replied Andreas.

"You're coming too! Because the company needs you. Other designers do not like you. Because the company is having a big project, it's worth hundreds of billions." Andreas added.

"So, ready or not, you have to go back!" andreas said again.

"How do you want to be here, sir?"

"There are Ade and Desi that can be sandeled."

Alenka. He felt shocked because of Andreas' sudden decision. However, he couldn't possibly refuse his boss' orders.

"At least a month. But if Elvan stays there, he lives there! It is time to make peace with the past. You have your own lives as well" Andreas convinces Alenka to brave her past.

"Yes ma. I just want to meet papa and be close to papa. Even though you never knew where I was, it didn't matter. I just want to know what my papa is like. We see it from afar is also okay, ma." said Elvan.

Alenka's eyes immediately glazed over. He knew his son must have longed for the affection of his father that he had never had since he was born.

"Aren't you sad that papa you didn't think of you? Not sad if you already have another family?"

Elvan shook his head quickly. "I have enough mama. I just want to see Papa from far away. Besides I have Andreas who loves me very much." replied Elvan in a raucous voice. It is undeniable that he was actually feeling sad. But, he tried hard to get close to his papa.

"When my mom is ready to come back. You will face your past and never run away again. For mama to have you is more than enough." replied Alenka confidently.

Yes, he will come back and will not run away again. He will face the past and obstacles in front of him.

"Spirited ma!" exclaimed Elvan exuberant. Eventually he will see his father in person.

"Good Alenka. After all, education here in the city is very different. Elvan's a smart kid, baby if his abilities and talents aren't channeled."

The fact in the city is much more advanced than in a small town like this. Plenty of containers to accommodate Elvan's talent and intelligence.

Alenka and Elvan immediately got ready. They tidied up their belongings to the residence that Andreas had prepared.
