The Simpang Jalan
Chapter 72

Time is not too late, but it feels Davi's power is almost drained. Just taking a breath, there's another order call to deliver. Every time he passed the table of cafe visitors, their laughter made Davi's mind grimace, the nights he spent relaxing and laughing like the visitors he served, now? He is a servant who serves.

I swear by whatever he never imagined would be in this position. Davi walked towards a deserted place, he resuscitated his body on the wall. His mind continued to scream in the face of the current state. Be happy? This is not happiness.

Davi opened her phone, she looked at her picture with Rachel and Kia, a smile etched on her face. This was his happiness that he simply threw away. "If I find a teapot of jinn, I will not ask for 3 requests, I simply ask for 1 request, which is to be able to return to you."

Davi is very aware that returning to Kia is impossible, because it is only an unreasonable force that can make him in the position he dreams of.

"Mas Davi ...."

An audible call from the audio that connects all the servants is heard, making Davi's delusion about Kia and Rachel crumble.

Davi pressed the button to answer. "Yes, I'm here."

“Mas Davi! Please transfer this order to the VIP room!” said one of the workers from the end of the audio there

“Ready!” A pair of legs felt swollen, but the call could not be avoided. The work of delivering drinks and food, kept waiting for him. The other servants were as busy as they seemed, but they were used to this job, their smiles and their faces were so sincere. Not like Davi's smile he forced.

I'm at the Hospital.

Rachel's laughter became everyone's spirit of happiness, the doctor who treated Rachel was still examining the beautiful child.

“How about this dizziness?” The doctor asks Rachel to follow his steps.

“No doctor's aunt,” says Rachel.

The doctor smiled at Kia and the family. “Thank God the wound is completely harmless, even tomorrow Rachel can go home.”

“Assyc! Can school also dong?” said Rachel spirit.

“School later first, after Rachel home first,” sela Kia.

“Yah .. whereas Rachel wants to be quickly carried by Indra everywhere,” whining.

“Do not get it wrong, even though at home om is also ready to accompany Rachel, Rachel go where om fat!”

A smile again touched Rachel's face.

Kia's life goes very smoothly, Davi's loss does not affect her condition, her sadness is only Rachel. I don't know what the boy was feeling so he started not expecting Davi. This makes life easier for Kia. After Rachel leaves the Hospital, Indra keeps her promise to always come to the home of Kia's parents to accompany Rachel. The presence of Indra also makes Rachel forget Davi.

Indra became Rachel's model, Rachel's creativity really tarnished her identity. Her handsome face now changed like ondel-ondel, red lipstick, blush on, and eyeshadow was scrawled Rachel as she pleased.

“Yes Rachel, om Indra you what?” Kia Shock saw the situation Indra.

“Ya Rachel dandanin to be beautiful.” Rachel focused on her project of beautifying Indra's face, she didn't care about Kia's whereabouts.

Between pity and wanting to laugh look at Indra's current face. At first glance, Indra glanced at Kia.

“Om do not move, later the eyebrows are bent.”

"Wine is crooked baby, time is straight like a ruler?" tejek Kia's.

"Mother uh chatter ...."

“You laugh, just let go Kia not in hold.” Indra knew very well that her best friend was trying to hold back laughter.

Laughter was immediately released. “Replace ndra to indri.” Kia kept chuckling.

“Nah so dong loose everything, enough I just the nahan,” said Indra.

Indra's words were ordinary, but Kia understood where the words were going, as soon as Kia's laughter stopped.

“Mother tease me huh?” said Rachel.

“No, it turns out that om indra is beautiful if dressed,” said Kia.

“Mother want me to dance?” haggard Rachel.

“No, thank you dear.”

“Dih mother does not love me, it was just Indra om who loves me, Dad also used to not want to be my model.” Rachel's face was instantly gloomy.

“Not that, mom hurry. There's a call from Rachel's school, you go first. Oh yes if you need a wig ask for the same oma yes.” Kia kissed Rachel's cheek and immediately left before her son's mood was completely broken.

"Wear wig?" Rachel imagines Indra's face wearing a wig.

"Not om not dear, but what if om forget to be Indra? If Indri can't carry Rachel, he can tickle Rachel." Indra instantly struck Rachel's amused point.

"Omm, okay, but I'll finish it first."

Rachel finished her imagination on Indra's face. “Nah is done om. I'm a photo yes.”

“Photo use mobile phone om only.” Indra hurriedly gave her the phone. She's not ready if someone else sees Rachel's masterpiece on her.

“Oke, here om.”

Simple togetherness like this that Rachel wants, she feels very happy every time there is Indra.

“This when can be removed, face om itchy.”

“Remove aja now.”

“Not anything?” Indra makes sure, especially women like another in the mouth of another in the heart, the mouth Iya heart expects no.

“Iya can.”

Indra immediately ran towards the bathroom, she did not want more people to see her like this.

**

At Rachel's school.

From the direction of the school gate, Kindergarten children were seen coming home early. Kia slowly drove her car into the crowded school area. Kia was surprised to see the motorcyclist who passed her. The motorcyclist also looked at him.

“Mas Davi?” Honestly seeing Davi like that he felt pity, but considering Davi like that because of the struggle of his love for other women, the pity disappeared.

But the love that once grew in his heart for the man, seeing Davi riding a motorcycle, Kia remembered their courtship while in college, riding a motorcycle everywhere both.

“He doesn't deserve to be loved by Kia, so God took him away from your life by bringing in the actor!” kia said to herself. Kia tries to forget about Davi and focus on her goals in this school.

Kia went straight to Rachel's class teacher. Kia listened to all of Rachel's achievements during these 1 year.

"Mother Rachel, we know very well that things at home aren't okay, probably because of this Rachel's declining value."

"Yes miss, of course because of our condition Rachel became like this" Kia regretted.

"Do we need to bring a child psychiatrist to Rachel?"

"There's no need to miss, right now Rachel is used to it and accepts this situation."

"Rachel's achievements are very declining mother, as a teacher I feel sad, even though Rachel is known to be an outstanding student. Able to jump classes because of his intelligence that mastered the class subjects that he took at that time. Can jump 2 years, this is amazing mom."

The mess of his household is no secret anymore. Kia could only apologize because her circumstances had really taken a toll on Rachel. At the age of 10 years Rachel can sit in the 6th grade in the upcoming school year. Because of the rumbling of his household, his son was also dragged into the whirlpool of pain and disappointment.

"Hopefully we can work together even more to hone Rachel's intelligence."

"Yes miss, I will try as much as I can" said Kia.

"I'm very sorry to have to give this invitation, because usually Mother always sits on the front bench because of Rachel's achievements, she said, mother knows for herself that children who make great achievements their parents sit at a special gate, I regret because this year the mother must be at the public gate." Teacher Rachel gave an invitation to a class hike.

"It's okay miss, Rachel this is also the fault of both parents."

Kia immediately returned home, she was not disappointed in Rachel who declined far away her achievements. He was just disappointed in himself. Arriving at home there is still Indra who faithfully accompanies Rachel.

Seeing that scene Kia's heart felt squeezed. Other people love Rachel very much, willing to leave her job to make Rachel happy, while her father?

Stop Kia! Stop thinking about Davi, think he's dead!

"Mother is home? Got an invitation to class?"

Rachel's question awakens Kia from her daydream. "Dear, mom, take the invitation to school."

"Here Rachel look where you're sitting? Let Rachel perform later easily nyari mother."

Kia was forced to give her invitation card, sure what she was thinking, Rachel glumly saw Kia's chair away from the stage.

"Don't be sad about it" said Kia.

"It's because I'm less smart that's why you're sitting far away."

"Rachel's a smart kid, and Rachel's proud mother, you can't wait to see Rachel's performance later."

"Mother is not disappointed."

"No, for the important mother Rachel was happy."

The mother and son hugged.
