Cursed Night
CHAPTER (36): Mother and Child Meeting

Time may have passed so long ago, though,

but my love for me will not pass from my heart

~Arya Panggalila~

A beautiful woman in T-shirt combined with a jacket and subordinate knee-length skirt, looks graceful walking to Soekarno-Hatta Airport, while pulling her suitcase.

The milky-white legs stepped into the airport waiting area, the glasses he raised above his head to look for the figure of the man who had been his best friend since twelve years ago.

"Xerion this how the hell? I told you not to be late to pick me up, but look now at the stem of his nose that he always adored, has not yet appeared."

The words of annoyance just kept coming out from those thin, pink lips. The woman continued to step towards the airport exit, trying to call a friend who did not know him.

"Thank you Xerion, he forced me to come to attend his daughter's birthday, but he didn't even send her home address and didn't pick me up, which sucks!"

Tere Queenera, a woman named Tere Queenera, had just returned from neighboring Singapore to attend a Medical Seminar held in Singapore, because he was invited by the event owner to provide knowledge and motivation to students who attended the International Seminar, the, and Xerion forced her by threatening to break their friendship if she did not return to Indonesia before the birthday of Xerion's daughter, Jenara Meirata.

BRUUKK.

Tere, who sees no way because he is typing a message on Xerion, causes him and someone to crash. It felt like Tere was yelling at whoever hit him, when he saw his phone shatter formless again.

"You?!"

Tere stared dejectedly at the juvenile onus in front of him, an expletive vow ready to come out of his lips but stopped when he saw the beautiful face of the juvenile in front of him.

The beautiful face and the face of this teenager like a replica as a teenager, Tere did not know what happened to him so he just kept silent not saying anything in front of this beautiful teenager.

"What?! You want to be mad at me? Here you are guilty, but even you are angry, you old man!"

The silence of a Tere when he heard the impudent speech of the teenager in front of him, the tiny lips did not match the harsh words of the teenager.

"How dare you say it's a stupid girl! Who do you think you are to dare say I'm an old man! Look, I'm not your parents!"

A look of hostility and a flash of anger emanated from the black-colored eyeballs belonging to the two, as if those gazes could burn each other.

The speech of the girl in front of him was able to make Tere back silent, somehow the events of twelve years ago revolved again in his brain when for years he had managed to expel the memory by working and working, and for many years, but the boy in front of him managed to remind him again.

"How are you, my son? You must have been as big as this brat in front of me, I hope that if you were a boy or a girl, you would be similar to your father, because I don't want to add to Arya's burden the weight of my shadow inside you, son" Tere said, his little heart wanted him to meet only once with his daughter but his common sense managed to control his little heart, by continuing to say 'it all ended twelve years ago'

"Let's daydream!"

This brazen girl shout in front of him made Tere's daydream come to an end, Tere staring at the girl in front of him from top to bottom making the girl in front of him stand clumsily and uncomfortably due to Tere's intense gaze.

"Did you see me like that?!"

"I'm just judging you, surely your mother never taught you manners so that your behavior is rude to older people!"

Tere did not know his eyes were wrong or indeed the girl in front of him looked gloomy even the girl's eyes glazed over after hearing his words.

"You're right, my mother never taught me manners, because she's been dead since she left me with my father!"

"You deserve it, it's a good thing your mother left you so she's not ashamed to have a child like you!"

Tere was actually pitying the girl in front of him, yet he was already irritated and angry at the brazen words of the girl in front of him, so he continued his scathing words.

Tere tried to expel his little heart to hug the tiny body and apologized for hurting the girl, Tere chose to continue in his footsteps leaving the girl who was silently pecking even unconsciously tears were flowing slowly on the girl's cheeks.

Tere's steps came to a halt when he heard the girl's shrill voice that he could still hear clearly. Tere did not know the teenager, but when he heard the girl's words, Tere seemed to know and know what the girl felt.

The girl felt lost, sad, and angry at her own mother.

"And I'm grateful that my mother was never in my life, because I would have hated her, especially after seeing you, I became more and more convinced that my mother was a vicious, demonic woman."

Tere and the girl looked back, looking at each other. Tere with his blank look, while the girl with her nanarrow gaze before the two of them stepped forward without looking back.
