The Simpang Jalan
Chapter 64

After Davi leaves, Eren peeks back to make sure Davi is really gone. Now Eren turned to look at Likha. "Why are you willing to live like this?"

"How else do you want? How do I know if it's going to be in this situation, I didn't expect Kia to actually take the car and the apartment, I thought she'd refuse!"

"You are, without drama, returning the treasure you have won with the baby in your womb."

"Let's convince ma."

Eren threw his body at the long wooden chair located in the corner of the house. "Remember your goal only to destroy the Davi who dared to abandon you and slap at that arrogant Kia!"

"I remember it was mama, at least until this child was born ma, and wait until I recover."

"Good! Remember you have Nanda whose future you must fight for, yes you let your son live with you here."

"I have to make up my mother's plan, if I leave Davi alone it will be difficult for me to find a new, established husband."

"After the split Davi, yes moved the city! It's stupid to still live here."

"Distance may be far away mama, but digital traces are difficult to remove, of course my face will be remembered people who know this news."

"Yes mama knows, but after leaving Davi away from this city, your heart was too soft not to be noticed just a little mezzy, he said, mama's worried you forgot your mission and are already comfortable in this miserable relationship."

"Did you live again dong ma?"

"There's a mama for Nanda, for your baby it's just for Ingrid."

Eren looked at the circumstances of Likha's contract. "I feel sorry for supporting your plans, your lives are so miserable!"

"Don't you think, I just don't care about my circumstances, currently trying to make Davi not regret leaving his old life, yes at least until this child is born, and waiting for that time I want Davi to feel happy with me."

The sound of footsteps entering the courtyard of the house, made Eren and Likha change their conversation.

"Ma, Papa Nomad is a lot of acquaintances. Love work for Davi ma, it's okay even if only as ordinary workers," said Likha.

"Later to talk to my mom."

"Sorry old, the queue is quite a lot," said Davi who just came.

"Mas, mas is okay if you work as a regular employee for example there are vacancies?" likha.

"It's okay, for the sake of continuing our lives with whatever work I'm willing to do." Davi lowered his head for a moment, his mind whether he was able to face the crowd who must have scorned his stupidity. He who is a leader and then works as an ordinary employee, is he strong?

"If you're ashamed, we'll just move to my father's village, we can be farmers in the village."

"I taught you this." Likha opened the mica wrapper and made the cover part to hold the other pieces of fruit. "Here we go, let's enjoy it together."

"The mother who asked for buyin was forgotten!" omel Eren's.

"Sorry, since Davi was next to me I forgot everything, all I noticed was Davi."

When quiet like this Davi's head is made dizzy beyond 7 circumference. While Likha has been drawn into a dream, this is what Davi likes from Likha, this woman is very good at calming her head down. But not good at calming his head down.

Davi came out of the room, he sat on the porch looking at the dark street, because the street in front of his house was poorly lit. Davi massaged his pulsating head, not only was breathing even difficult, it felt like it really needed the help of oxygen cylinders to supply oxygen to his lungs. The breath is relaxed, but there is a sense that makes it feel very heavy, even if only taking one breath. No work, while the stomach asks for rations for grinding digestion. Especially considering that currently Likha is pregnant, let alone think about the preparation of labor, thinking about survival only Davi does not know how to.

Davi grabbed his phone which was like a loss of life. Mobile phones that have always shouted suddenly quiet after the situation changed drastically. Davi called one of his cousins, his call was not received, he tried to call another number, some received but could not help him give work or debt.

His mind glanced far away, trying to figure out a solution on how to carry on with the life he had chosen at the moment. "It looks like I should sell this apple for the next cost of living" he murmured.

There was no choice, he had to replace his krowak apple with a mobile phone like siomay, potatoes, or boiled eggs. Getting a temporary solution, Davi returned to the room and docked to dreamland.

*

Even the burden of life that he faced at this time not only made him dizzy in reality, even the pain reached into his dream realm, dizzy to think about how to continue this life, he said, in order to stay happy but not starve like this he did not find a new solution, how to fight for another happiness? But the sound of the rooster has been unpretentious to welcome the dawn which will soon show its light.

Nature is still quiet, Davi woke up while massaging his head. He glanced at Likha, the woman still sleeping soundly in a thin mattress that protected their backs from the coldness of the porcelain-free acian concrete. Davi immediately woke up, refreshing his tired body bathed in sweat at the non-soothing race last night. Finished with the activity of refreshing the body, he immediately struggled in the kitchen, cooking rice and making omelettes to accompany their morning.

"Geez, you're awake." Likha immediately hugged Davi from behind.

"Yes, take a shower there. Abis shower us breakfast."

"I'm ashamed, I should have done all this" said Likha.

"Who says your job, the household is helping each other, because I can't pay the services of the waiter, let me serve you and our future children myself."

Davi's treatment is very simple but it feels like the building of Likha's heart shook greatly because of the attention Davi gave. During their stay in this humble house, Davi treated her like a queen, even while she bathed, Davi washed their clothes. Likha looked at me towards Davi, the man smiled at her and continued to do homework.

If he keeps bringing me together like this, I'm afraid my mom's worries will come true, where I forget my mission and get really drunk in this miserable life.

"Capek, baby?" Davi sat on the floor, both hands massaging the calf of Likha who was no longer level, the pair of legs looked more and more joyful.

"When you can't be satisfied, it always feels like you want to see you continue." Likha grabbed Davi's face and pressed their lips together.
