Not Runaway
CHAPTER 26

"Rin, mama take Vely to your office first yes, mama want a dentist for a while to wash the coral. Busy huh?" mama Rianti called Airin.

"By Ma, when you get there, call. Airin' down."

Ten minutes later, Vely entered Airin's room.

"Om Richie." cried Vely approaching Richie who was sitting there. Richie stood up and held Vely.

"Kok Vely can come here?" ask Richie.

"Omma's washing her teeth again. He said hahaha yellow.." Vely laughed happily.

"Om, get down Vely. Vely will sit there." Vely pointed to the large work chair that Richie had occupied. Richie complied. Airin smiled at the behavior of his son. Actually Airin was afraid that Vely would discuss....

"Om, why don't you marry me to be Papa Vely?"

This...Airin closed her eyes at a glance, not believing what she was hearing.

"Mama says friends can't marry you. Don't be your friend anymore." Vely said innocently while doodling the blank note paper in front of him. While Richie glanced at Airin who only raised his shoulders and eyebrows in ignorance.

"Indeed, Vely wants to be Papa Vely?" Vely nodded. Richie's happy to see it. He loved that little girl very much. He often fantasized that one day Vely would be his son. When Richie started to let Airin go a little, he felt Vely grabbing her back. Is this a trial for her and Hannah? Or for Airin and Aiden? Richie doesn't know how to behave. Okay.. Isn't what matters most to Airin's happiness? Richie made sure and promised it to Airin.

"Vely darling. Mom and Dad promised to be friends forever. Friends can't break promises. Dear Vely, love Mama Airin too." Richie glanced at Airin.

"But papa Vely was chosen with God. God will give you the best papa for Vely. Like God also gave his best friend to Airin's mama, Om Richie." Either Vely understands or does not explain Richie. Vely just nodded small. At that instant, the door of the room opened again. Aiden.

"Hi Aiden, why didn't you tell me to come?" airin asked in surprise at Aiden's arrival. Aiden felt an aura of tension there. Vely who was sitting also looked uncharacteristic.

"Am I interrupting?"  ask again.

"Come on." Richie answered. Vely got down from his chair and approached Aiden.

No.no Vely's...Not anymore...Airin pulled Vely and hugged him.

"We're looking for ice cream baby. Richie I'm out for a second." cried Airin while pulling Aiden. Richie nodded.

Arriving at Gelato 88, they chose the flavor of the ice cream to order.

"Vely what's it like?" ask Airin. Vely who was still short could not see clearly the ranks of ice cream that was there. Aiden directly lifted Vely onto his shoulder.

"Well, Vely is high, can you choose donk want to taste what?" said Aiden. Vely laughed happily. He feels very tall now.

"You're om, oreo, strawberries too. Can I have cheese too?"

"May donk." replied Aiden. Airin looked happy to see her son laughing happily.

"Where's Ai?" ask Aiden to Airin.

"Dentist, wash the coral." replied Airin.

"Let's just pick up this brother, I'll get Vely and mom to come home." Aiden tidied Airin's hair, then took her hand.

"Ai, please grab the wallet in the back pocket. I'm afraid Vely falls if I take it. Please pay money there. From now on you should get used to managing my finances hahaha.." Aiden's words made Airin shake his head.

Arriving at the car, Vely who was busy eating ice cream started talking.

"Om, because of Om Aiden, so Richie isn't papa Vely?"

Yes sampuuunnn Velyyy... Airin has given up. He left everything with Aiden. Aiden was silent for a moment, as if asking for Airin's help. He was sure there was a reason for Vely's question.

"Emang Om Aiden can take Vely to school like Richie?" Good question Vely, thought Airin. Aiden was already starting to follow the path of Vely's mind.

"Can donk dear. Darren and Vely are a school. Om Aiden can also take Vely wherever Vely wants. Later we can take mama and brother Darren also to the mountain, to the beach, to the zoo."

"But Richie how Ma. He used to say kangen Vely. Kasian om Richie if we don't invite him." said Vely sad as if to cry. Be advised, Vely had known Richie long before Aiden came.

"Vely darling. Richie is not alone. Later Om Richie also married, had children. Vely can still see Om Richie. Don't be sad, baby." Airin tried to calm his overly creative son. Airin held Aiden's hand, either to apologize or to thank him. Vely..Vely.....
