Bond of Love
Second meeting

The first day Shanum became a lecturer at YMCA University went smoothly, there were no obstacles either when giving material using English, or with students.

They even highly valued Shanum as his lecturer.

Speak words and a soft tone, as well as facial expressions that seem pleasant, able to hypnotize the attention of students as well as students. They even immediately understood the explanation of the material that Shanum gave.

After teaching, Shanum stepped foot out of class, he went straight to his room where there was Nonik the assistant in charge of organizing the schedule and preparing the material that will be delivered the next day.

"How was the first day, miss? Smoothly?"

"Currently" Shanum replied glancing at a glance at Nonik's face adorned with slightly thick glasses.

"What student? They don't make a scene, do they?"

"Absolutely not" Shanum smiled, he placed himself in the oversized chair that had been provided in his room.

"Good" said Nonik briefly, then refocused on his work.

"Today's another show, Nik?"

"No miss, most to the state library to find a book for teaching materials tomorrow"

"Well, after college, we'll go straight to the library"

"Neither miss"

Both are back in focus with their work.

But the conspiracy seconds later, on the sidelines of his teaching break, Shanum again remembered with a sketch of Mikayla's face as well as his chattering. Unknowingly, he lowered his head, shaking his head while smiling.

That kid is really adorable, to the point that I can't cast his shadow out of my mind. And somehow remembering him just makes me feel calm.

Mikayla??

What a pretty name.

He is still monologuing in his heart, a thin smile still survives adorning his sweet face.

Until late afternoon, he was getting ready to go home because the activities on campus had ended.

The two women then walked out of the office building and stepped into the MTR station.

Shanum is deliberately not using private vehicles, because riding public transportation is much more efficient and safer.

"What do we eat tonight, Nik?" Shanum asked when he was already inside the fast train that would take him to the state library.

"I soak the ear mushrooms, want me to cook with chicken wings. I will also cook fish steam, mustard oseng and rib soup"

"What kind of cooking does the wings chiken want?"

"Ozeng-oseng love oyster sauce" Sahut Nonik returned his superior gaze.

"Okay" Shanum nodded in understanding, then kept quiet until the train stopped at the station they were heading to.

The two rushed down, out of the station area and the library was immediately visible once they were outside the MTR building.

The distance of the library which is approximately one hundred meters from the station, can be reached in just not less than ten minutes by foot.

Nearly an hour into the room, while the book he was looking for was in the hands of Nonik, he was again surprised by the attitude of the little boy who recognized himself as his mommy.

His body was in a scowl when suddenly there was a figure hugging his legs.

"Mommy"

Automatic view of Shanum downcast to find out who the owner of the hand that circled the base of his thigh.

"Mikayla?" He looked at the little girl whose hair was tied high.

"Mommy" The boy looked up, still with a hand condition attached to one part of his body.

Shanum thought he would never see Mikayla again, but in fact, his guess was wrong. He was actually found back with a girl who had managed to make his brain fall apart.

Not wanting to make Mikayla continue to look up, Shanum knelt before him to equalize the level of their eyes.

"W-are you here?" Shanum asked as he circulated his gaze in all directions.

"Kay same daddy again accompany aunty Allea find a book, keep Kay see mommy become Kay samperin mommy"

"Then where's your daddy?"

"Daddy was smoking again, Kay was aunty" he said, answering Shanum's question.

"Mommy wait here yeah, Kay call daddy first" The boy pulled Shanum's hand to get up, then took him to sit on a soft sofa available in the library room.

"Mommy's here a minute, Kay's not long"

"Yes" Without a doubt the woman nodded her head complete with her lips on her back.

"So soon, mommy don't go" he said again while running, but his gaze looked back.

He looked at the little girl who was running away from him still with a sitting position and hands on her lap.

Mikayla herself continued to run, looking for the father who was in a smoke-free area, breathing heavily with her chest up and down.

While Ben frowned when he found his daughter running closer and closer to the sweat droplets filling his forehead.

"Daddy!"

"What's wrong, baby?" tanyan Ben while throwing away the cigarette butts that are still half left after previously turning off the embers.

"Let's go to mommy"

"Mommy?"

"Yes, mommy is here, Kay saw mommy, let's hurry up and samperin mommy"

"But baby, there's no mommy here"

"There, mommy who was with Kay yesterday saw a peacock"

"That's not mommy, son"

"Okay-okay, let's go to mommy"

Because Ben felt very curious about the figure of the woman Kay said was his mommy, the man finally obeyed the request of the princess.

"Where's mommy?"

"On the sofa there again sat down" Kay replied as she continued to direct her feet to the place where she left Shanum.

"Where on the couch?" Ask Ben again with an impatient look.

"At sa_" Mikayla hung up the sentence because, the sofa looked empty. There was no one sitting there, making him circle his gaze in all directions.

"Where's Kay?"

"So sitting here" Kay pointed at the black sofa.

"Nothing, it's been ordered not to go"

Ben looked at the princess with a glare.

"Well, don't lie, daddy. Kay met mommy, Kay asked mommy to sit here because Kay wanted to call daddy"

Feeling both pity and pity, Ben knelt before Mikayla. His hands held both sides of his daughter's arms.

"That's not Kay's mommy, that's somebody else dear"

"That's mommy, mommy in the photo, in daddy's room"

"Okay, we'll look for it again tomorrow, yeah"

The child's lips trembled like they were holding something back, while his pair of round eyes were already glazed over.

"Here you go, pray again tomorrow Kay can see you again mommy"

"But if you don't see me again, dad?"

"Definitely see you again" Entertain Ben as he lifts his daughter's body.

Inwardly, Mikayla hopes and promises that if she reunites with Shanum, she will not let go. The boy even steadied himself to follow him quietly until he really knew where the woman living in his photo album was.

"Oh sister, where is the man in searchin too" Allea said.

"Have you got the book?" Ben ignored his sister's words.

"Already"

"Yes we're home"

Instead of responding to her sister's words, Allea was attracted by the sad murat on her nephew's face.

"What's up with aunty? Why is his face wrinkled?"

"So Kay saw mommy, but just as Kay went to call daddy, mommy wasn't around" the racer looked down lethargic.

"Mommy? Mommy was Kay's friend yesterday?"

The boy nodded.

"Oh my goodness, Shanum's time is here. Impossible"

"No" Sentak Mikayla. "I didn't lie to Autny. Kay's right look at mommy"

"Come, let's just go home! Tomorrow aunty take Kay to mommy's house"

"Aunty knows mommy's house?"

"Know"

"Your!" hiss Ben rounded a pair of his irises.

The mlyric allea. Not at all afraid of Ben's sharp highlight.

"Where? Let's go over there now"

"Later, if aunty does not go to college, aunty takes Kay to Indonesia"

"Yelin!" Ben again shook his voice.

The girl just smiled slanted.

"We'll go home first" Allea grabbed Ben's arm and stepped her leg.

Flashbacks...

"Miss!" Nonik felt astonished at his strange-looking superior. He directed his pair of neutrals to follow where Shanum's eyes looked.

"Miss Shanum!"

"Oh, I-iya Nik. Already?"

"It is" he answered with a heart full of questions. "Miss is okay?"

"Yes, I'm good"

"If so we go home now, soon maghrib"

"But" Shanum's gaze was blank, he felt he had promised to stay here until Mikayla returned with his daddy.

"What's wrong, miss?" Tanya Nonik was confused.

"No-no, there's nothing"

"Let's go home"

"Yes, come!"

Doubtfully, Shanum stroked his feet, his gaze continuously directed where Mikayla ran a few seconds ago.
