The Simpang Jalan
Chapter 24

Likha was very disappointed by Davi's decision, she rushed towards her mother's residence. Arriving at her mother's residence, Likha pulled her mother towards the room she used to occupy.

"When are you coming home, baby?"

"So afternoon."

"Where are the gifts for Mama and Nanda?"

"I can't think of my mom, I have a problem!"

"What is Likha's problem?"

"Davi left me ma."

"What's going on? Why is this suddenly? Did you over-shop when outside the country?" guess Eren.

"I didn't buy anything, the goods were all bought by Davi, I didn't ask."

"But this is surprising, Davi suddenly broke off your relationship, when everything was fine."

"I don't know, as long as it's abroad there's no problem either, we're enjoying our time together." Likha is not ready to accept Davi's decision.

"Is Davi bored of you?" guess Eren.

"That's impossible mama, mama knows for herself Davi is not easily attracted to women, I just need time and a mature plan to make her opiate me."

Eren felt that way too. "Did Kia know about your relationship?"

"I can't think of mom."

"The Davi panic is only Kia. Maybe this is why Davi decided to leave you, knowing for himself the man who panicked when his secret opened he would leave his toy, and keep his legal wife."

"Either mother, soon the parents' day at Nanda School, look there at how their relationship is, it will answer whether or not Kia knows it."

"Let it be like this, his name is also male when he is aware of his mistakes, he is trying to fix what he has destroyed, but some choose to keep a legitimate wife not because he wants to fix, he said, just panicking and calming down, after things subsided he went back rogue again."

"But I'm so scared of you right now, as long as I'm out of the country without safety, what if I get pregnant after Davi leaves?"

"Why are you so careless!" maki Eren's.

"I enjoyed everything too much" Mama."

"If you get pregnant, your burden will increase! And it's hard to find a companion, the man who came after Davi will also think many times if you have 2 children!"

"Mama .. please help me find a way out, not increase my burden of continuing to lecture me ...."

"Call Davi now!"

Likha grabbed her phone and immediately contacted Davi. The special number they used was inactive, while the usual Davi number could not be reached. "Looks like my number she blocked mom."

"Arghh!" Eren was very upset.

"If Davi really leaves me, do I have to move Nanda again? I can't afford the school fees there."

"Urusan Nanda to be a dependant of mama, Nanda school there is better, if Davi really leaves you, you easily find a replacement there, many rich people send their children there. better to live a good life even as a mistress of a rich man, than to be a queen, but every time but be a babu!"

What his mother said Likha felt directly, it was not easy to build a household just a capital of love, while with Davi, he could do what he wanted even if only as a savings.

In another part.

Davi secluded himself to a quiet place, to apologize to Kia still stuck in his heart, this guilt made him not dare to show his nose in front of Kia. Guilt and remorse tied strongly to his lungs and heart making him feel difficulty inhaling. Davi stopped the car as he passed the bridge. He got down from the car and looked at the river that was quite swift down there.

Davi thought, he wanted to plunge freely into the river filled with rocks, so that this guilt stopped torturing him.

"Every year we never miss Rachel's school, no matter what our problem, don't make an impact on Rachel."

All over Davi's body shook violently, he had hurt the woman on the other end of the phone with excruciating pain, just for the sake of the child, the woman kept contacting him.

"Can I go home?" said Davi terbat.

"Did I forbid you to go home?"

"Kia-" Davi couldn't get her word out, Kia had already decided on their call unilaterally.

Although Kia contacted him just for Rachel's sake, this made the confidence present in Davi, out of nowhere the gerik, he was sure Kia would forgive him for Rachel's sake. Davi undoes his intention to end his life, he goes back to his car and emboldens himself to go home.

Once at his house, Davi goes straight to his room and Kia. Seeing Kia standing by the window Davi was sculpting, the courage to meet Kia faded.

"Can you close the door? I still want to talk" said Kia.

Davi complied with Kia's request and immediately locked the door to their room.

"Have you got the answer to my question yesterday?" ask Kia.

Davi pegged at his place because he was unable to answer Kia's question.

"Did you forget that question? All right, I'll ask you again."

Kia walked over to Davi. "Try to tell me, what is my lack that makes mas turn to the woman? The only thing you're looking for is him and not me? How good is he?"

Davi took his breath so deep. "At least there is no excess of him that exceeds you, I cannot answer your question of what you lack, because you have no shortage."

Davi tried to catch his breath, it felt like he was drowning in the ocean imagining his mistake.

"You're too perfect Kia, so I don't feel like I'm standing with you. Maybe for these people it's a small matter, but not for me. Everyone praises you admiring you, I feel like a prankster in your life." Davi took a deep breath and blew it away. "But I'm a bitch, why did I forget this ...." Davi walked towards the wall and banged his head against the wall of their room. "Stupid me! I should be proud to have a great wife like you."

Kia shut up, she let Davi hurt himself.

"Do you know how much pain feels insignificant by your side?"

"I know! That's why I'm letting you continue with the company you're leading right now!"

"Is that enough?! Every time I've been humbled, all my successes that people praise are just you! I'm holding back the pain myself."

Davi wiped his tears. "Look, I'm so stupid, instead of being proud and happy I'm suffering. Since I was a fool, I could not resist the temptation that came, the temptation of Likha, this made me even more stupid. Likha came to me begging for my love. I felt needed by him, it felt like for the first time I felt like I had a special place on this earth. When I'm with you, I feel like I'm just hitchhiking."

"So, you want to be with Likha?"

"Since the beginning I received Likha's love, I had no intention of being with her, I was just saying, with you I feel isolated and worthless, being her? He put me like a king, so I fell for Likha's appeal "

"Doesn't that mean you're happy with Likha? If you are happy with her, please continue your relationship."

Davi shook his head. "I don't want to be with her, don't you understand my pain so I'm falling apart?"

Kia understood exactly what Davi meant, long before Davi complained he was trying to minimize the pain by giving full power to Davi. "Keep, now what do you want?" ask Kia.

"I hope you're willing to give me a second chance."

Kia did not respond to Davi, she walked towards the door and left Davi in their room alone.

Kia spent the night in her daughter's room. Every word Davi always rotates in his head. He himself realizes the admiration of people for him makes Davi feel inferior. Though the company that Davi manages the hard work of Davi and Kia, not Kia himself. But people only looked at Kia, and looked down on Davi. Kia deeply understands Davi's ill feelings for this situation, but forgiving Davi is also difficult for him.

Davi was alone there, he dragged his limp feet towards the walk in closet, packing some of his clothes, it felt so far sorry from Kia for him. The empty suitcase was already filled with Davi's clothes, with a heavy heart he lifted their palace.

Davi's mind was so empty, he dragged a pair of his legs towards his company. The private room in his room became Davi's choice to be his shelter for a while.
