The Simpang Jalan
Chapter 49 The Calm Water

After the incident that night, Kia tried to refrain from thinking ugly again about Davi. His household situation with Davi also slowly improved, like calm water. There is no wave that waves the two. Kia returns to her daily routine at the restaurant, as does Davi. Davi's job was no longer emotionally draining, reprimand from him and the threat of other company officials made Fanny behave better.

The cellphone notification made Davi's attention to the rectangular flat object, he opened the message that had just entered.

*Davi, can we have lunch together?

Davi immediately replied to a message from Misye.

\=Can, you set the place.

Message back in, seen the address of Misye's restaurant. Davi immediately prepares for lunch with Misye. The two met at one of the restaurants not far from Davi's office.

"Thank you for your help that night, if you don't come, I'm sure I'll be eating the Caucasians" Misye said.

"Sama-sama, you are my business partner. Not only that, Indra also helped my family a lot, still not comparable to Indra's help for us."

Misye recalled the story of her assistants that Kia had raided her hotel room. "Davi, did you betray Kia?"

Davi is confused to explain in what way, one thing that amazed Davi, Indra did not open his disgrace even to his own sister.

"I heard stories from my Assistants who couldn't get into the VIP area that afternoon, they said your wife went berserk."

"It's not a rampage, it's just a misunderstanding" Davian said.

"The woman's feelings are sharp, Kia's a smart woman, she won't think about that stupid thing if you don't cheat her." Misye's gaze was full of deception.

"I did that stupid thing once" Davi admitted.

"cheating?" Misye.

"But Kia was willing to give me a second chance. To this day, I still hold my oath when I ask him to come back to me."

"You're really the dumbest guy!"

"Yes I realize I'm stupid" Davi said.

"It's simple, but what's inside of her, you can't find in any other woman, even though Kia's 30 years old, for me she's still the dream woman of many."

"I admit it, I always curse myself for my stupidity."

"May you keep your promise, for there is no such thing as a third chance." Misye ended their discussion of Kia, both of whom focused on enjoying their lunch.

***

In the parking lot Kia accidentally meets Eren, Likha's mother. Kia continued her steps as if she did not know the middle-aged woman.

"Hi Aunty Kia," said Nanda.

"Hi's beautiful too." Kia continued her steps.

The middle-aged woman stared cynically at Kia. "It turns out you're getting used to accepting your future stepchildren."

Just as Kia's steps came to a halt, she turned around to approach Eren. "Did I hear wrong? Step-son candidate?"

"Yes, soon enough, surely Davi will marry Likha."

"Good, but before that happens, you have to be mentally prepared, because if Davi is still plunging himself into the mud puddle, he's not carrying anything, just carrying the clothes on the body."

"Owh doesn't matter, we're ready to accept Davi any way."

"Good, at least I don't feel guilty about throwing Dad out of my Son, because his life is definitely taking care of him" Kia replied.

"For sure, don't be afraid we'll take care of Davi if you throw him away."

"I didn't throw it away, but your son snatched it away."

"My son didn't snatch Davi, he's willing to share with you, he's sincerely second."

"Mom needs to remember, the devinisi shared it, the owner divided it willingly, while my husband was snatched away in a subtle way. One more thing I have never been sincerely polygamous, sorry I am not a great woman who has a strong mentality to share a husband. I already know not that I don't want to share mine, if the mother's son is reckless to take, that's his name snatch!"

Kia looked at Nanda who looked confused. "Nanda should be cared for by her real father, if you are, dangerous. He's afraid he'll be the next generation of actors."

"You!" Eren was angry to hear Kia's words.

"If Nanda is a bad actor, you are happy, but what if Nanda's position is a legitimate wife whose position is shaken by immoral actors like you?"

Eren could only clench his hands, if not in the school environment he was snapping up this talkative woman in front of him.

"Life needs money, everyone needs it. But fight mom, don't snatch!" Kia pretended to be sorry for what she said. "I forgot, if you're lazy to fight, so use the hole between your thighs to become money." Kia left just like that leaving Eren who was holding back his hatred for Kia.

Eren stared cynically at Kia who was getting further away from his gaze, his palm still clenched, without him noticing he was firmly grasping at his grandson's wrist.

"Grandmother ... pain ...."

Nanda's screams make Eren's anger run out, he crouches down and apologizes to his granddaughter, for accidentally hurting her.
