We, Without Me

Forgotten, Removed

A grown man constantly flips his body. Trying to be calm and comfortable in his sleep, but nil. His whole body was sultry, tired and somehow sick everywhere.

Just barely asleep from a restless sleep, Keven jumped in shock at Yuki's shrill voice that caught his sense of hearing. Grazing with his jaw hardened with emotion, Keven spread his gaze around the room filled only by his presence.

Carrying his tired body up from the top of a soft mattress, Keven walked straight to the bathroom. Flush the body with warm water flowing from the shower.

“Ki..? Yuki...!??” Shouted Keven calling out Yuki's name while rubbing the back of her wet hair. Keven's eyes continued to stare at the still messy mattress and none of his usual work clothes Yuki had prepared.

“Tumben today not ready to wear clothes. Hid.. She finally gave up.” Keven said with a slanted smile, sneering at Yuki's attitude which had been considered as mere imagery. For Keven there was no way Yuki could be fine after he blatantly refused. But even more foolishly Keven did not realize that he was starting to depend and his heart was shaken by the figure of Yuki who was brave, arbitrary, chatty and did not want to budge but was very attentive to everything about Keven.

“Ki..!! Black leg t-shirt with grey stripe pattern on the sole of his foot where?” Once again Keven shouted while scrambling the contents of the closet that Yuki had neatly arranged when bored struck. Even the interior of the limited edition asset cover and her socks have mingled together painfully collaborating the eye that is looking.

Giving up on the plain black socks he was already wearing, Keven went down the stairs in a hurry. Yuki usually wakes up. Of course not in a romantic way, but a rough pull on the blanket that Keven still wears, a short blow nan hot on the arm and the most Yuki happy certainly pinned Keven's nose pointed.

“Tumben no coffee for me, where else is the boy?” Keven murmured softly, watching the empty dining table, no breakfast or even just hot milk coffee as usual.

Leaning his head towards the kitchen, Keven also did not find Mama Agni and Yuki who used to joke cheerfully in the style of mothers in the kitchen. A second later Keven felt that something strange and unusual was tickling something hidden in his mind, but Keven had not yet discovered what he should have remembered.

“Work?” Papa Leigh suddenly said from behind, running lethargic to grab a teapot of water and pouring the water into a transparent glass as high as 11 centimeters.

“Iya, Pa.” Keven answered briefly, looking back at Papa Leigh, thinking that maybe Mama Agni will appear as before Yuki was at home. “Where's the name, Pa?”

“Newly can sleep. Don't noise! You better find Yuki out there! Free you teriakin until this house collapsed also Yuki will not appear.” Papa Leigh's words are fast and sniffy, hitting Keven's consciousness on reality if Yuki disappears and hasn't been found yet.

“Shiit!” Umpat Keven cursed his stupid brain that could forget the departure of the obscure Yuki.

“Do not sat-sit!! Yuki's your wife! Papa never give you an example of being a brash man. Do you now feel good so dare to be rude to be beaten?!!” Said Papa Leigh with anger peaking, stylish rolling up his sleeves to the extent of elbows, even though the shirt worn only covers a quarter of his arms.

Yesterday night Papa Leigh was deliberately holding back emotions that actually overflowed. Can be serious if you have to add to the chaos of home conditions like lava volcano levels. Just look at the evidence later if Mama Agni woke up from an impromptu sleep due to fatigue almost around the City looking for Yuki.

“Not that, Pa.” Denied Keven who wanted to tell the truth that he forgot Yuki disappeared, but he stopped when he saw Papa Leigh's fierce gaze. Although Keven was 28 years old before 29 years, in front of his parents Keven still a small child who can not fight if his earlobes are pulled suddenly.

Huuftst..

Sighing deeply and furiously, Keven this time used the sharp eyes he used to stare at Yuki to highlight every corner of the street he passed. Hope his eyes catch Yuki's figure that might not be visible when it's still dark.

In addition, Keven's hands are no less busy trying to contact Yuki. For her in-laws' cell phone number, Keven had it, but according to Keven it was not yet time to contact her parents-in-law.

With the information of the occupants of the house that he thought was the wrong address and a seller who had chatted with him, Yuki ventured to find the figure of Gibran Abian who he said had made a sensational furore.

“Pa-pa..” Yuki said softly with a raucous voice. He wanted to deny, but the fact before his eyes could not be removed even though the puddle of natural water seeped so unstoppable again.

“Ha ha ha.” Laughing with tears flowing without wanting to be held back or just wiped away, Yuki strengthened her heart, raising her feet stepped closer.

A moment later the mature male figure that had matured, could even be said to be almost rotten was aware of the existence of Yuki with a look of surprise. A happy laugh while fondling a boy who was a little similar to Yuki inevitably had to stop.

Whining with a rebellious body, the voice and behavior of the toddler could not resuscitate a surprised Gibran Abian not playing over the presence of his first child. Stifled and confused, he was cornered not to dwell. It felt too sudden for Yuki to know everything.

“Blessy yes, Pa?” Yuki asked when she had reached exactly 5 steps in front of the Papa she missed. Unfortunately the longing evaporated, changing disappointed, angry, sad and desperate. Yes, Yuki is desperate to get the warmth of her parents if the facts in front of her eyes are very clear without needing to be exposed again.

“Yuki.” Papa Gibran said with low intonation, full of guilt. He realized that Yuki must have been injured, without being spoken, it was also very visible from the voiceless cry that accompanied the young girl's steps.

“I contact from earlier can not, apparently Papa was happy here with another Papa child. Why, Pa? What's wrong Mama? What's my fault?” Swallowing her saliva violently, Yuki tried to remain sane. Holding back an evil monster dominates a body that is tired of facing the reality of his messy life, before he even realizes everything.

From the little information that Yuki got 4 years of his parents separated, but it was clearly twisted Yuki's memory that 3 years ago he still felt the warmth of the family. The theatrics, reality or people he doesn't know are lying, I don't know if Yuki has trouble believing and digesting everything.

But one thing Yuki believes, her Papa is not just hers anymore. Yuki's desire is granted to have a sister, but why should it be born from the womb of another woman who did not give birth to her?

For a moment Yuki wanted to laugh again at her lonely life. Stay only accompanied by a housekeeper who is not even 24 hours there for him. While Mama Maria and Papa Gibran only contact potluck. Returning to City B could be counted fingers for several years leaving him. Wajarkah now Yuki thinks all this time he was removed?

The original title Light Up Our Love Without ME It's Us, Without Me. So the title of this novel I returned to the original idea, but the cover I let, did not have time to edit again.

Do not know whether the original title has appeared or not after this chapter UP, which certainly hopefully in this chapter everything is quite satisfied.😄
