The Seduced Teaser

Full of Wounds

...***...

Tonight this week, really a memorable day for Ziya. Not because of his friendship with Delfin, but more because he felt he had a whole family. At Delfin's house, Ziya is like having a sweet father, mother, and sister, like Farah. Ziya continued to notice the familiarity of Delfin and Mahendra in the living room while playing chess. Also the happy laughter of Farida and Farah, while with him in the kitchen to make a cake. For a moment, he kept quiet and thought of something.

“God ... May this time I think to be greedy. May I wish to have ‘dia' in its entirety? Is it wrong, if I want it to always be by my side?” inner Ziya was filled with various hopes of having a happy family with the person he started to care about. A person who is clearly forbidden to have. However, the daydream had to end immediately because the oven in front of him rang, indicating that their homemade cake had been cooked.

“Kak Ziya, the cheese cake is ripe. Brother would have liked. Because Mama's cheese cake is the best cheese cake I have ever met,” praise Farah on the cake that she just lifted from the oven.

“Hemm, very fragrant. Looks like this cake is very tasty,” murmured Ziya who was clearly heard by Farida and Farah.

“Of course it's good, brother, even very, very good. This is, right, Delfin's favorite cheese cake. One meal Delfin legs can be used up three pieces,” explained Farah who continues to boast cakes made by Farida.

“Already, do not need to discuss the cake continue. Now Farah's the same Ziya cut the cake, yeah. Let mama make the tea. Poor, tuh, Papa and your brother must have been impatient to eat our homemade cake.” After saying that Farida took a cup then made tea to serve. While Ziya and Farah began to move to prepare a small plate and cut his homemade cheese cake into pieces.

In the living room there are two adult men playing chess with different auras. Mahendra with his fighting spirit tried to defeat the son. However, Delfin actually looks not excited, because his brain is currently thinking about the center of his world that has not given each other a week.

“Skakmat!” mahendra made Delfin surprised. For the third time, Mahendra defeated Delfin.

“What's up, son? It's like you're not focused. Can you help me?” mahendra asked Delfin. Delfin immediately shook his head showing that he was doing well and changed the subject. Delfin did not want his father to be suspicious. However, as a father, Mahendra can smell the bad things that happened to his son.

“Come, Pah, let's replay the game. This time Delfin definitely won.” Delfin tried to be calm so that the father would not continue interrogating him. Mahendra smiled, trying to understand Delfin. Mahendra began giving his son encouragement on the sidelines of their game.

“Nak, have you heard of the philosophy of chess?” mahendra asked Delfin who answered by shaking his head.

“In playing chess we need clear steps. Step forward. Every step we take determines our lives. What it will be like and how. Life must have a purpose. Because with a purpose, we will be more careful in acting. Whether consciously or not, what we do now will be the determinant of our future" Mahendra continued.

“Papa knows you miss him. Papa think one week is enough for you to introspect each other. It's time for you to go back to him. Don't make him wait for you too long.” Delfin tried to digest every sentence Mahendra said, until the presence of Farida, Farah, and Ziya broke his focus from the words of the father.

“What discussion, anyway, how do you think it's so serious?” ask Farida to her two favorite men. While Ziya and Farah were arranging their cakes and tea on the table.

Delfin who began to understand Mahendra's words began to move from his chair and approached his papa.

“Pah, now Delfin knows what Delfin should do. Delfin will walk ahead like a pawn that will continue to protect his king, so that his position will never change,” said Delfin reciprocated Mahendra's philosophy. Mahendra replied with a smile and a nod. Making Farida, Farah and Ziya stare in surprise because they do not understand the sentence Delfin.

“Ziya, later you will be sent home with Farah, yes. There's something I have to do. Mah, Pah, Delfin go first, yeah. Pray that Delfin will succeed. Oh, yes, Dek, Ziya's big brother, yes. Please get Ziya to her house safely!” After saying the long sentence, Delfin then ran towards the nightstand and took the car keys that he put on it.

...*****...

Currently Delfin will return to the apartment to meet his beloved Cia—istri. The center of the world that is always in his heart. He decides to budge and suppress his ego by apologizing to Cia first. Delfin tried to fix everything so that his household remained intact. It did not take long for Delfin to get to the apartment, with a fairly reliable driving skil Delfin able to overtake the cars that blocked his way.

After thirty minutes, Delfin arrived at his apartment. However, Delfin was surprised because he did not find Cia's whereabouts there. After paying close attention, Delfin thought that during the week Cia did not return to the apartment. Because what Delfin was seeing right now, was still the same as what he had seen a week ago, not a single object had moved. That means Cia never came home.

“Where are you, honey? Why don't you ever go home? Have you been living in a boutique all this time, or have you gone home to your grandfather?” Delfin begins to question Cia's existence on himself. Delfin regretted yelling at Cia at the end of his meeting a few days ago. After thinking for a long time, Delfin began taking out his phone to contact the boutique where Cia worked. However, the boutique staff said that during the week Cia never came to the boutique.

Delfin's sports car has arrived in front of the fence of Pramono's house. The security guard who recognized himself was quick to open the fence for him.

“Eh, Mr. Delfin. I've been a long time, yes, I never saw you. The master is getting handsome aja.” Praise the security guard who also admires the husband of the master's grandson.

“Still, Sir. Oh yes, sir, is Cia inside?” delfin asked the security guard.

“There, Sir. Please come in, Sir,” replied the security guard invited Delfin.

Because Delfin misses Cia so much, he finally hastily enters Pramono's house, hoping that Cia the woman he misses also misses him. However, Delfin's long strides had to come to a halt when he saw the familiarity of Cia and Farel. He saw the two humans were busy sitting in the garden behind the house enjoying the silence of the night with a glass of hot chocolate.

In the back garden, Cia was engrossed in sipping her hot chocolate with Farel. Farel kept looking at Cia's face. However, Cia remained unconcerned and continued to drink her favorite drink.

“You drink or eat something like this, huh?" ask Farel

“How much do you mean?” Cia asked back.

“You if you eat or drink what is always a cane kayak gini. Like a child, anyway,” kekeh Farel while wiping the corner of Cia's lips from a short distance. So when someone sees it from behind, they think Cia and Farel are kissing. And that's what Delfin saw to make his emotions increase. Without further ado Delfin immediately approached Farel and beat him blindly. Farel, who in fact holds a black taekwondo belt, makes fights between men inevitable.

“Stop. Please stop!” shout Cia. However, it was ignored by the two men. Eventually, Cia had to call four security guards to separate them.

After successfully separating the fistfight between Delfin and Farel, Cia began to approach Farel and ask about his condition.

“You're not pa-pa, are you, Rel?” ask Cia worried. She cared more about Farel than her husband Delfin.

“I'm not papa, Ci. I'm doing fine. But I didn't know that he—” Farel pointed at Delfin with the look in his eyes.

“CIA! You what the fuck? Here, I'm your husband, not him. Why are you paying more attention to him than I am who is clearly your husband?” shouted Delfin emotionlessly then walked towards Cia to pull her hand which was immediately knocked down by Cia.

“You are my husband, Fin. But you do not realize that during this week you have never been there for me. Even when I need your attention, you are never there for me. But Farel is different. I don't need to call her attention, she has given it with sincerity" Cia replied loudly.

“Now you better go, Fin. I don't want to let Grandpa know about this commotion. Anyway I'm getting tired of this situation.” Cia exhaled heavily then turned towards Farel and helped Farel then left Delfin in the garden alone.

“What the man has replaced me in your heart, Cia. This time I was really disappointed with your attitude?"

Disappointed, Delfin left the Pramono residence with a heart and face full of wounds.
