The Stupid Shaft

THE VOICE OF THE PAST

"Is he your son?"

A voice across the phone makes Deta's heart beat. The voice did not belong to Angga, it belonged to the man who had been missing for five years.

Deta quickly disconnected her phone. Just hearing his voice alone could make Deta like this, what if he had to come face to face with the man?

"Gosh, is that him?" deta muttered, his face paled like he was bleeding out.

It was never imagined by Deta if he would again hear the man's voice, although now there was no softness in his voice. However, Deta knew that the man was still the same as before. His feelings were still the same as they had been when they parted, no one could ever take the place of the man in his heart. He's the only one, Ricky Sanjaya.

The atmosphere was quite gripping as Ricky sat in front of Angga with an unfriendly gaze at all. Their compactness and togetherness have never existed. Even their two loyal assistants were staring at each other like they were preparing to pounce on each other.

"How are you?" ricky asked breaking the silence between himself and Angga. Actually he just wanted to find out about Deta through Angga, because what he did had managed to lure Angga out of his hiding hole.

"Me?" A thin grin appeared on the handsome face of Angga. "I'm very nice and happy" he added.

Ricky folded both his hands on his chest. "really?" Both of Ricky's eyebrows shot up demanding an explanation.

"You can see it for yourself. We have a smart and handsome son. What else do we need?" Angga smiled with satisfaction. "Ah, we need a princess to complete our perfect life" he added.

Ricky stiffened, his heart burning at the words of Angga. "Then make a princess. If your woman wants to do it."

This time the burning Angga, Ricky almost guessed his life with Deta for five years.

'Did Ricky know the truth?' inner Angga.

"What are you thinking? How to make a baby? Didn't you guys manage to make one? Then do it as before." The rush of questions was thrown from Ricky's lips, ending the obvious laughter as a mockery.

'We see, to what extent will you hide my woman, Angga.'

Deta was so agitated that night, she thought of canceling her departure to the city of xx. That means Deta won't be able to meet her old best friend, and Deta won't be able to meet Dito either. His longing for his younger brother was already very great, there was no way that Deta could delay him anymore.

"Sister, are we going or not?" dania asked, her hands still piled on the empty suitcase that the waiter had just dropped off.

Dito Riady chose to be a military soldier in his own country. That is why, after completing his education Dito returned to xx country to settle there about one year ago.

"Dania miss Dito?" Deta asked Dania who was still staring at her suitcase blankly.

Dania nodded in response. Her cheerful face was gone, her hands that were used to busy playing mobile phones were now just busy fiddling with suitcase zippers.

Deta took a long breath. It seems he has no other choice. "All right, we're going."

"Really, Brother? Brother didn't lie, did he?" Dania's narrow eyes were perfectly rounded, she stared at Deta in disbelief.

"Yes, honey," the dear cubit landed on Dania's white cheeks and left a little red in there.

"City xx, I am coming (i am coming)!" yells Dania glee. He immediately opened his suitcase and ran towards the closet to tidy up the clothes he was going to bring.

"Aunty.. aunty.. where're you wanna go (where are you going)?" Rayyan ran into the room, her face filled with glitter and chocolate.

"Travelling (walking)." replied Dania relaxed while putting the clothes she needed.

Rayyan looked at the aunty who looked so happy. "Mommy, why aunty look so happy (Mother, why does aunt look so happy)?"

Deta crouched down to match Rayyan's height. He looked at the adorable face and hugged her for a moment.

"Rayyan, do you love me?" ask Deta who just let go of her hug on Rayyan.

"Of coulse, Mom (of course, Mom)." Rayyan hugged Deta's body again and kissed Deta's cheek.

"Then come with me!" A warm smile adorned the face of Deta who was countered by Rayyan.
