This is Love Not Suffering

Victims of the Past

The Inara POV

That morning after dawn I had to go with Mas Indra because there would be a board meeting at my Design office. I left Sasha with Davin. Of course I was before I left I had said goodbye to them. After work I want to go straight home, but friends invite me reunion. He said because he rarely had time to sit with senior designers like me. It felt like I wanted to refuse but considering how much I was an example to them, I also agreed to spend my afternoon with them in one of the city malls.

Not too long just from the finish of Zuhur time until 2 pm. I went home to them and ordered Grab. Because I was at the mall, so I did not forget to buy Davin's favorite cake and tried to buy Sasha some new clothes. I arrived home at 3. I entered the courtyard of the house, I saw Davin's car had been salted. His grandfather really spoiled him, still High School has been bought luxury goods. I went in and called them, but there was no answer. I went to the kitchen because I was thirsty. I saw Bik Inah running from the backyard.

"Bik, Davin and Sasha are back?. Where're they?". I said to our housemaid who has been working since Davin was a child.

"Ah anu mistress. That's that's what. Non Sasha drowned in the back pool. I'll take the towel first". Said Bik Inah almost making my body limp. Sasha can't swim. How could it be in the pool. I immediately put down my things and immediately ran towards the pool. What a heartbreaking sight. Whatisthis? Davin kissed Sasha. Not my son just gave him artificial breath. But wait why he smashed Sasha's lips. Ahh I've been wrong to educate the child.

"Davinnn's. You're being insolent!!". My screams left Davin shocked and caught red-handed.

I don't believe what I saw just now. But Sasha's safety is now more important. I told Davin to bring Sasha to his room. I told you to call Dr. Diana and Davin I told her to change clothes and eat. Because I see they're still wearing school uniforms, I didn't forget I told him to meet me when I was done eating. The doctor came and examined Sasha.

"How's Doc?". I asked Diana.

"Ah it's okay, he just got a lot of pool water. But the condition of his body is weak at this time, it's good I infuse 1 bottle yes". Answer Diana.

"Yes just do your best, you get out first yeah". Saying to him. Diana's a competent doctor. For 8 years he worked for the Syailendra family. Now I'm heading to the lounge at the end of their hallway. I'm naenunggu Davin. Don't forget I took the cake I bought earlier. Bik Ianh said he was still eating downstairs. It wasn't until 10 minutes that he came up to me. I deliberately positioned myself behind him.

"Mam, what's wrong?". Ask me. I turned around to see it too.

Plakkkp.. I slapped him. Surprisingly he smiled at me. Ahh, I shouldn't have played with my hands. I try to sit down. He also sat down.

"Dav, you know Mami saw it, right?". I asked him to clarify what I saw in the pool.

"Yes Mam". Answer's short.

"I pushed into the pool". His reply again surprised me.

"Why are you so brave. Don't you know he can't swim?". Jerk me again.

"If I knew I wouldn't throw him in Ma's pond either!, I just wanted to punish him". This time Davin was starting to be fiery.

"What's wrong with you?". My question was met with laughter by Davin.

"Hahah her fault. Mom asked. Well answer. I waited half an hour for her to be parked but she went home with another man, haa Mami you know!! Your foster kid's starting to itch he's starting to show his daggers. Just get involved again he will bring a man or sleep with another man". Davin's words stirred up my anger. I stood up and slapped him again.

Plakkkp.. This time my slap almost made a strong sound to buzz in this room. Davin's holding his cheek, yeah g's probably hot.

"Ahaaha, slap on. I'm not wrong to have a mother like you. You know what else Sasha's fault is. Because her presence has made me your Bladder's son like Inara's stepson". Davin's getting disrespectful.

"Enough Davin". My yelling.

"Why? that's right. You have never cared for me since childhood. I've always grown up alone without your affection. You just sat daydreaming at the window and were busy drawing. You never care about me. You should hear this Mommy. And I assure you that at any time I will never be willing to assume that your foster child is part of the family no matter how dear you are to him". Now that Davin's anger has made my heart cut, my tears have fallen. I couldn't bear it and chose to leave.

"Dav, just so you know, son. Until whenever you remain Mami's favorite child". I said while crying in front of him. I went downstairs and continued the pain of my heart over Davin's words. She's right I'm not a good mother to her. I failed at being a mother. I really have failed. My tears broke unstoppably. That day I promised to pay more attention to Davin's heart. He was just a victim of my selfishness in the past.
