Not Runaway
CHAPTER 18

They arrived in front of Airin's house at 10 p.m.

"Oh, thanks for everything." Aiden peeked at Airin. Something he's been holding back from a week ago.

Airin smiled, she realized that all the moves on needed a process. Aiden escorted Airin in and then parted with Rianti's mother.

After Airin kissed the sleeping Vely, she went to her room. Her mother came in.

"Where's Rin?" kepo mama Rianti's.

"What's Ma?" Airin pretended to bego.

"Aiden.where were you?"

"Eat."

"Continue?"

"home."

"What do you mean by mama?"

"Naaah Ma, forgot Airin recorded."

"This is all. If you are not the same mom, who would you like to tell?! Cepetan donk." mama Rianti is indeed impatient for this.

"Aiden wants to take Airin Ma seriously."

"You ain't ya?"

"He uh" Airin nodded. Mama Rianti smiled happily.

"But ma, is mom really not a problem Aiden is also a widower? Have children anyway." asked Airin.

"Not ma, Airin's story later. Slow down." Airin smiled stiffly. He was also confused on how to tell Aiden that.

Airin was daydreaming alone in her bed. He opened a photo gallery on his phone. A folder that has not been opened for a month. Photos of Nathan, from them dating to Vely.

'Honey, may I accept all this from a man who is not you? You will always be in Vely, I will never be able to forget you. I trust God and you will give answers to all my prayers and Vely. Don't hate me, baby. Restui me.' Airin's prayer in his heart. Tears flowed every time he remembered Nathan's smile.

"Darren, if Darren has a mama what?" Aiden asked that carefully while looking at his son's expression. Darren who was playing the game stopped while looking at his daddy.

"You mean mama Darren came home to Dad?" ask Darren.

"It's not so dear, what does Daddy mean if Daddy knows someone who could be a mama for Darren? Can love Darren, help Darren for PR, take a report at the school kayak-temen Darren." explained Aiden.

Honestly Aiden is confused. He was just too excited about all this and felt like sharing it with Darren. She hasn't even told me about this with her mother.

"Who has Dad?" asked Darren with a flat expression.

"Later Daddy knows you, don't tell me the same story first. Promise?" Aiden felt that one way to bind a child's heart was to make a little secret between them. At least that's what he read in one of the children's psychology books.

"Ok Dad." Darren smiles. Tuh... Aiden felt winning had made Darren smile.

Aiden went back to his room. He smiled remembering Airin. No one has ever made it this way but Evelyn. His ex-girlfriend after he divorced only three people. It also can not be considered a girlfriend, only 2-3 times dating before they break up. He remembered Chris' message to choose a "not tacky" girlfriend". Ah, I can't wait to introduce Chris to Airin. It's easier for Aiden to move on than Evelyn. Evelyn left him and Darren to pursue her singing career in France. Right after Darren turned 7 months old, Evelyn left. That's really the heart. Evelyn had sent various clothes and toys from France, but Aiden had advised the maid and the people in her house to throw them away. He did not want Darren to know Evelyn in any way. Whether it was right or wrong, cruel or not, Aiden did not care. His anger covered it all up. And now there's Airin. A woman who has rekindled her feelings to want to love and protect. Aiden remembered Nathan's photo in Airin's living room. It must be hard for Airin to forget her husband, Aiden thought. Jealous sebersit pierced his heart. 'I mustn't be selfish, I must try for Airin.'
