Not Runaway
CHAPTER 8

"Mama.mama.cepetan, the sheep will start." Vely shouted as he ran towards Airin who had just entered the school gate of Vely. The school is quite popular among the upper middle class, St. Valentinus. Airin is indeed a little wasteful if for the needs of Vely. At least papa Vely's legacy should be used for what it should be. According to Airin.

"Sorry baby, mom's late. Yuk, come in."

Today is Parent's Day held at the school. Vely and Airin will compete in the 4-7 category. They wear white and pink clothes. Actually Airin was reluctant to follow the race that should be followed by the two parents, but because he saw Vely who really likes to sing, he did not have the heart to say NO to Vely.

One by one the race participants have already started to act.

"We welcome the number 8 participant, Lovely Patricia Dewanto and Airin Princess Felicia's mother." the eyes of the audience seemed to look for a male figure who should be next to Vely.

'Care very much.' thought Airin.

......

Only this.chant..

A smile from my heart to my mom...

Just a simple song

My love song for..Mamma..

......

Vely's favorite song was sung perfectly by the two of them. The audience applauded for their performance.

The race participants continue to perform until the last participant is called by the MC.

"Last but not least. This is our last participant, Darren Kevin Alexander and papa Aiden Leo Alexander."

Airin knew the name and immediately turned to the stage.

'True Mr Aiden, I don't have a wife?' Airin's confused.

......

Somewhere over the rainbow..

Way up high's..

There's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby..

......

The crowd cheers and applause rumbled.

'Darren's voice is like a professional child singer. Mr. Aiden was also quite decent.' thought Airin while clapping.

The winner of the race was announced 20 minutes later. The Airin-Vely pair won second place, and of course Aiden-Darren became the first champion. Finished the prize and cup distribution, Aiden approached Airin.

"Hi Rin, I just found out Darren and Vely are one school. I rarely come here. By the way, your voice is good too." Aiden praised.

"Siang Mr. Aiden, the first new race sir, usually only can be in the bathroom ma car hahaha..."

"Hello Vely, remember the same oom?" ask Aiden to the beautiful little girl who was hugging her cup.

"This is my son, his name is Darren. Darren's Lovely Daddy's. Greetings to aunt Airin and Vely." Aiden introduced them. Darren followed without asking anything.

"Sister Darren, great champion one. Ajarin Vely singing English donk." exclaimed Vely. And Darren just.

"Sister Darren is quiet Vely, but he's good, he'll be taught." Aiden smiled at the seriousness of Vely.

"We're having lunch with Yuk Rin." take Aiden.

"Relax, there are no copies this afternoon hahaha." continued Aiden followed by Laughter Airin.

They arrived at the seafood restaurant Not Jimbaran with their respective cars. This somewhat overcast afternoon made them want to eat grilled seafood.

There is a children's playground. Of course Vely who could not be silent was pulling Darren's hand to play with him. And Darren would have just come along.

While waiting for their food to come, Airin and Aiden chatted while discussing their project which was only 10 days away.

"Later me and Richie tomorrow to Mr. Aiden's office."

"OK, about 10 o'clock yeah, because I had a meeting in the morning" Aiden said.

"May I ask a rather personal question?" aiden continued after three minutes thinking about asking this question or not. Airin was shocked, he nodded slowly.

"I know a little about your husband Airin. Mmh.. Mama Rianti told me about my time at your house yesterday."

"It's not a question Sir." Airin slightly frowned.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have discussed this. For now, I just want to be your friend Rin, not just a working partner." replied Aiden.

"I'm very honored if Mr. Aiden wants to be my friend. Really. I'm a person who likes to be friends with anyone." Airin answered sincerely.

"Let's start with this. Stop using overly formal language, and just call me Aiden. Without Sir. I don't think your age and I are much different. You're 26, right? I'm 29 years old" Aiden said.

"Yes right, I'm 26. Must be Mr. Aiden from RAF profile."

"No, gentlemen again."

"Hahaha.oh yeah. So, since we are friends, it may be my turn to ask. Mama Darren isn't in the race?" ask Airin.

One second.two seconds.three seconds.. Just as Aiden was about to reply, Vely's voice came closer.

"Ma, Brother Darren was helping me push the swing" said Vely while running away. Unbelievable, Aiden saw a smile on Darren's face. Very rare thing.

Their food came too.

"Well, the kids are handsome and pretty. Pas is already a pair. Please enjoy the food." a waitress said with a smile.

Aiden and Airin stared at each other in confusion. Airin laughed a little. While Aiden, gazed deeply into the eyes of Airin.

'I think this is what Darren needs. Darren or me? Ah same thing.' thought Aiden.
