The Seed of the Ex!

Chapter 13 - Zalia's Father?

"Why did he have to come again in my life, why? Why doesn't he just live his own life." Trisya's body trembled with her cries, Jessy grabbed her and lent Trisya a shoulder to lean on.

"He's Zalia's father?" ask Jessy slowly.

"Yes, but please keep this a secret from Zalia, I don't want her to know about it, and want to get away from me" Isak Trisya said.

"What you're saying, it can't happen. Zalia your daughter, she'll just stay with you, don't think recklessly. After all, I'm sure even if Zalia knew her father was still around, she would still choose you, Trisya, trust me." Jessy rubbed Trisya's back gently.

"Jessy's right, Trisya. No one will take Zalia out of your hands, I assure you!" Ben added on.

While Zalia the girl was silent while leaning on the door leaf, listening to the conversation of adults while holding a pink teddy bear.

"Although I'm happy to know that I still have Daddy. But, hearing Mommy cry because of Daddy, it's better not to have Daddy." Zalia murmured in the heart.

...----------------...

The next day, Trisya and Zalia were ready to go and take Zalia to school.

"Hay, need a ride!"

Beyond suspicion Bryant was waiting for Trisya at the door in neat clothes. Zalia stared fixedly at Bryant's face with silent lips, no smile or greeting appeared on her tiny lips.

"No, I'll take a taxi!" Reject Trisya while pulling Zalia's hand to follow her steps.

"It's not good to refuse someone's good faith, after all by riding my car you can save money." He tries to influence. He followed Trisya behind him.

Trisya turned to face Bryant, "stop following me and take care of your own life, Mr. Maverick. I'm telling you, our relationship is over when you signed the divorce papers."

Bryant smiled softly, "i know, so I wanted to start over. As long as I'm alive, I'll follow you wherever you go, even after I'm a ghost!"

Zalia screeched in fear while hiding behind Trisya, "crazy basics!" hardik Trisya, he rubbed Zalia's head gently.

"I'm sorry I scared you, what's your sweet girl's name?" Bryant bowed to greet Zalia.

"Sway him!" Trisya retreated a few steps back, making Zalia reflex pushed Trisya's body to almost fall.

"Hey, hey, take it easy I won't hurt your friend's daughter, why would you react so." Bryant re-stretched his body.

"Come on, kid, we're gonna be late for school!" Trisya passed pulling Zalia's arm following her.

Bryant shook his head slowly with a smiling lip, "Trisya, Trisya, you think I would believe that she is your friend's daughter, from your reaction alone I could see that she is not someone else, but your own daughter. Why don't you just be honest with me, even if you already have a child from someone else I don't mind, I'll think of her like my own daughter."

Bryant breezed down and took the car to follow the taxi Trisya was riding, he noticed every movement Trisya from a distance, that was all he could do for now, he said, make sure Trisya gets home and leaves safely.

"For Trisya!"

"Morning!"

Everyone greeted each other, Trisya then sat at her desk with a cup of coffee for encouragement in the morning.

"Miss Trisya, you're called the room's boss!"

Trisya clucked in annoyance, "what else does she want!" furious, he squeezed the blank paper he was holding and threw it into the trash.

"All right, I'll be there soon!" Trisya moved, walking at a fast pace accompanied by a sense of annoyance.

Brak's...!

"Actually, what do you want-kan-," Trisya's eyes widened perfectly when he saw the two people in the room including the head of the Division where he worked.

"What are you doing Trisya, why are you being disrespectful" complained Mr. Han.

"I-I'm sorry sir, I-I'm just thinking a lot." Trisya looked down embarrassed, apologizing.

"I'm sorry to Mr. Bryant!" sternly with a sharp look.

"I-I'm sorry sir." Speak reluctantly.

"It doesn't matter, but you have to compensate me." Of course, Bryant did not want to waste this good opportunity.

"Compensation?!" Trisya and Pak Han repeated the words Bryant said.

"Yes, compensation! Does Miss Trisya not want to give it to you?"

"Haha, how could that be sir, of course Trisya would do it, wouldn't Trisya?" press Mr. Han with a threatening look.

"Yes, of course. I'll do whatever Mr. Bryant says." Trisya threw a look at the other direction.

"OK good then, I'll hold onto Miss Trisya's words," Bryant smiled happily, "but for now I want you to work on this report for the meeting later in the afternoon, he said, Mr. Han said there were some points to add."

"Well, I'll be working on it soon." Trisya snatched the file from Bryant's hand and passed.

"Ck, this woman," furious Mr. Han, he's not feeling good about his new boss.

"I'm sorry for Trisya's attitude, sir. Usually he's not, maybe he's too tired lately that's why his attitude is so."

"It doesn't matter, I understand, it's exactly the attitude that I like about him." Bryant said, sitting in his chair.

Huh huh? Mr. Han looked astonished at Bryant's earlier remark, "what are you and Trisya?" he guessed something.

Bryant put an index finger on his lips, gesturing for Mr. Han to remain silent, "ah, alright I understand, I'll keep quiet."

"Thank you Sir!" Bryant smiled happily.

"I will try to help you as best I can" Mr. Han blinked one eye.

"But I'm really curious what was your relationship before? Sorry if I'm sassy."

"No one else you know" Bryant got up and stood to the window, "I made a mistake, made Trisya walk out of my life, after everything happened I realized what I was doing was a big mistake, I realized that I loved her."

"So you're ex-lovers?"

Bryant shook his head softly, "no, we're ex-husbands and wives." Mr. Han's eyes widened perfectly.

"So you're the fucking ex-husband that Trisya talks about a lot, oops!" Mr. Han flinched, making him back silent for a moment.

Bryant chuckled softly, "does he talk about me often?" he looked curious.

"No, only a few times. That's because he's been caught having kids."

Bryant frowned, "he's got a kid?"

"Yes, he has a daughter, five years old." Answer Mr. Han made his words clear.

"Five years? She's also gone five more years, almost six years, if she's been missing for what she's supposed to be pregnant." Bryant widened his eyes.

"Did she ever tell you anything about anything else, like whose daughter that child was?"
