The Unmissed Family

Suspiciousness

The street crowds in the city that never sleeps happen even when the sky is already very dark. Even though it is night, there are still many vehicles that pass either to work or just look for fresh air. And among the many vehicles, there was one of the cars driven by a young man who was still wearing his High School uniform he was stopping at a red light waiting for the green light to turn on.

While waiting, the young man turned on his car radio to relieve the saturation that bothered him. For most people, waiting is boring.

"Lad..." Said the young man as he looked to the right side and saw the car that turned out to be his Papa's car.

"Ah, Papa must be going home too." The young man thought with a faint smile.

Just as the young man was about to open his car window and call his Papa from inside the car, the green light he was waiting for finally lit up and made him undo his intentions, but there was one thing that made him feel curious.

"Why isn't Papa going home? Where are you going at this hour?" Asked the young man to himself who was astonished.

The young man was still looking at the car his father was driving until it disappeared from view, before being startled by the horn sound of another vehicle that could not walk because it was blocked by the young man's car. The young man hurriedly came to his senses and drove forward his car, but his mind was still filled with curiosity.

Anika is sitting casually in her reading room while reading a novel, she is indeed a woman who likes to read let alone read novels that are romantic genre she can even spend hours to read her favorite novel. Wearing her round glasses, Anika looked beautiful and young.

As he opened to the next page, suddenly something fell from there. Something that looks very shabby and the color has faded a little.

"What's this?" Anika picked up something that fell while paying close attention. A faint smile was engraved on his lips when he found out it was an old photograph.

"Ah this is yes, it is still there even though it is shabby." He said while looking at the photo he had in his hand.

The photo is a photo that has been for years, a photo where Anika is pregnant and Rendra imitate the style of a pregnant person, her stomach is made distended with something input from behind her shirt. They posed with their backs and laughed, clearly they were very happy in the photo.

"Why don't I remember having this photo, and since when did I put it in this novel?" Anika asked herself.

Anika rubbed the photo, she smiled but her tears slowly dripped. She recalls the old memories of the times when she felt as the luckiest woman to marry Rendra.

"Do you remember this Rendra? Where you took care of me when I was pregnant. I can't do this I can't do that, Ah! Many of the rules you made made made me want to give birth quickly at that time."

"Ah see, you even imitated my style, until you intended once to put a balloon in your stomach to look like a pregnant person. No, not only that, you even lengthened your hair hahaha." Anika continued to talk even though she realized she was alone and no one was listening to her in the room.

"Can we be like this again? Even though I'm old, but don't think I can't get pregnant anymore, it's at my age that I can now have two to three babies at once." Anika spoke alone. He spoke with crying and laughing simultaneously.

"Ah but it feels impossible yes... Although I can get pregnant again, but moments like this can't be repeated you've changed and no longer love me." His lips quivered as he said the sentence, he started crying as he pleased.

Anika cried loudly when she realized she was no longer expected to no longer get a place in Rendra's heart, which was worse even her existence was no longer considered by Rendra. Anika continued to cry on the table, as her cries began to subside she was startled by a person's voice.

"Ma... Mama why?" Yes, it was the voice of the Emperor who was suddenly already in the reading room.

Hearing her son's question, Anika reflexively wiped away the tears then raised her head and looked towards the Emperor, "Geez! If you want to go in, knock on the door, son, you're shocked to know."

Hearing her son speak kept Anika smiling and forgetting her sadness. He stroked his son's hand and said, "New home baby? Surely it was not immediately involved in the task of playing first for sure."

Why every time we make a mistake, parents' questions are always right on target. It feels like they're putting cctv on our bodies, so they know what we're doing.

"Hehe, play Ma." The Emperor answered while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Eh, Mama's eyes why so? Mama crying? Why did Ma, Mama cry why who hurt Mama?" The Emperor continued by throwing a few questions at Anika, both of his hands holding Anika's hands.

Anika smiled at the Emperor's question before showing the photo on the table and said, "Mama cried because this is dear, Mama remembered the happy times of the past so Mama nangis was moved, grateful our household has survived so far."

"really? Mama's not lying anymore, is she?"

"Dear, Mama didn't lie, why lie? Who would dare to hurt Mama, if there are you who dare this." Anika replied with a slight joke.

"Ah Mom... Kai thought why." The Emperor said as he hugged his mother tightly, a warm embrace that was able to calm Anika's heart.

"Have you not come home yet, Ma?" The Emperor who had still not let go of his embrace.

"Not yet son, Papa overtime may go home at night if not tomorrow, why?" Answer Anika

"Why-why did Ma, just now on the road the Emperor saw Papa's car."

"Hm? Where's darling?"

"So it's at the red light there but Papa..." The Emperor stopped his sentence as if hesitating to tell his mother.

"But why, baby?" Anika asked curiously as she glanced towards the Emperor.

"Not Ma, maybe Kai is wrong hehe." The Emperor replied while releasing his embrace.

"Jaudah Ma, the Emperor went to the room first and took a bath immediately went to sleep. It feels like the body pegel all this." The Emperor continued by stretching his entire body.

"Yes, take a shower with water anget do not get cold ya later get wind again." Anika reminded gently to the Emperor.

"Ready boss!" The Emperor replied, going straight to his room.
