The Simpang Jalan
Chapter 73

Life like this does not feel like going on, Likha's stomach is getting bigger, the court's decision to divorce Davi and Kia also just waiting for the final. Working night, coming home at midnight, this is Davi's current routine. But he is the one who wakes up first, but he is the one who sleeps last. Davi cooks, washes and finishes the house. The more boring this work day, this makes him miss the more life with Kia, and the worse in regret.

While living a long life with Kia at the beginning of the marriage, He only helps, Kia washes, she sunbrows, Kia sweeps, she mops, Right now? He's all doing it himself. Until when do they keep on being so lazy? How long does he have to be like this? The thought kept spinning in his head.

Once the food was ready, the house was clean, and Eren and Likha opened their eyes. Now that they were all sitting on the floor in a circle, they began to enjoy the food Davi cooked.

"How much do you pay a day?" ask Eren.

"50 thousand ma, but if crowded visitors can be 100 to 150 thousand."

Brusssh!

Eren choked on spitting out his food. "You are wrong to love the Likha people, who used to earn tens of thousands!"

"Mas Davi is like this because he loves an unlucky lady like me." Likha stopped eating and went to her room.

"Likkah!" call Eren.

But Likha did not care.

"Let me follow up." Davi got up and soon caught up with Likha.

Arriving in the room, Likha was seen crying in the corner of the bed. Staring at Likha who was very pitiful, Davi did not know at this moment what her feelings were, which she knew had to fight for her next life. The life he lived was completely beyond his imagination. Davi approached and massaged Likha's ankle.

"Not you the unlucky bearer, but I'm the unlucky one. Because when I asked for Kia back I swore on behalf of both my parents and on behalf of God. But .. I forgot my promise. Because my love for you is greater than anything."

As Likha grew weaker, Davi's treatment served her, her son, and her mother really made her fall in love with this man.

"You're the unlucky one for loving me, if you could stop loving me, you wouldn't be in this position, your mother would still be Nomad Lady, she said, maybe you're the young miss in one of the rich families. Me being? The successful and intelligent are only Kia. I'm just a pebble kept in a jewelry store's glass display, making you fall in love with that worthless rock."

Davi took a deep breath. "I used to look precious because my place was, like the stone looked precious because it was with precious stones, when I came out, when I came out, my fate returned to my original self which was only a pebble that decorated the side of the road."

Likha could not say, she only wanted to be hugged by the man who used to pretend she was in love, but that feeling right now was not pretending anymore. Davi was silent, he was silent as Likha hugged him. He kept asking his heart, where was the passionate love that left him blind, deaf, and dumb? There was currently no sense of being with Likha.

"Heh bucin couple! Remember time! There's a kid who wants to go to school!" shout Eren.

Davi had to give up their embrace, whereas before there was Eren himself and Likha could be more than just a hug, even the state of their bed was gripping, because it cannot hum spoiled as much as they are because there are other residents in the house. The current situation is getting bland, completing the limited naffsu, plus he is like numbness.

Davi came out and immediately took Nanda to the bike.

"You're holding on?"

"It's already pah."

"Heh Davi! You're not thinking of adding a job?!" sambar Eren's.

Davi took a deep breath. "Not ma, but getting extra work is hard, I always try without a mother." Davi grasps the handlebar of his motor. His life was already depressed by the circumstances, his pressure was increasing due to Eren's nagging and demands.

"Mas, help sell my phone, buy a million cell phones, the proceeds of sale we can use for the cost of the loan later." Likha gave her an apple phone along with her box.

"Yes, I'll sell it. Go get Nanda first."

Likha smiled, she waved her hand off the departure of Davi and her daughter.

Rachel and Azriel sit back and wait for Indra. They keep talking about a lot of things. Azriel's courage to protect her in the classroom makes Rachel feel closer to Azriel.

"Are you going to be angry? Yesterday I hit those friends who ridiculed you" complained Azriel. She doesn't accept it when their classmates taunt disabled Rachel. Until he attacked until his friends were injured.

"Om not going to be angry, but you're going to be proud of you."

"Eh, isn't that your dad?" Azriel pointed towards the parking lot. Seen there Davi dropped Nanda. "It turns out that took your father Nanda." Azriel laughed blandly.

While Rachel was staring intently at that direction, her heart was hurt to see her father hugging and holding another child, it was clear that his father loved the child, Rachel did not accept there was anyone else his father took with him other than himself. At the same time Nanda and Davi walk up to Rachel hand in hand, Davi is shocked to see Rachel's leg bandaged, and the boy is seen covered in bandages.

"Why can you be with Nanda?" ask Rachel cynically. His eyes were fixed on Davi's faithful hand holding Nanda's hand.

"Nanda is now Dad's son too, he's just like you, and now he's Rachel's sister" Davi said.

Rachel's heart ached more and more hearing that, no one was allowed to take her place, but now her father's dividing her instead.

"Rachel why is this?" ask Davi gently. His heart was very disappointed Rachel's situation like this Kia did not even contact him.

"What does Daddy care? Love your new son." Rachel looked at Azriel. "Can you help me walk?"

"Can!" Azriel gives her shoulder to Rachel.

But only a few times jumped, Azriel did not support Rachel's body, making both of them fall. Davi was shocked to see that to make him sculpt. But at the same time, Indra came and helped both.

"It's not that I told you to wait, om" said Indra smooth.

"Lazy sitting there for a long time" said Rachel.

Indra turned towards the chair, and she saw Davi holding Nanda, now she understood Rachel's disappointment. Indra immediately carried Rachel and took her to class. Davi is like a fool who can only see.

"Papa, come on to my class, you're gonna have to pick up a school invitation."

"Yes." Yeah." Davi and Nanda walk together into the school building.

**

Arriving at Rachel's class, the children who had previously shocked Rachel stood in front of the class with their parents. Azriel immediately hid behind Indra.

"Azriel, om proud that Azriel can protect women, but next time do not give lessons alone, report the same om only, let om who love the lessons of their parents, because the punishment of om isn't a blow, but they can't snack because their parents don't have a job."

Suddenly the faces of the parents were panicked, Indra's influence was very strong, not difficult for Indra to conjure them into unemployment.

"Please forgive our children" said one of the parents.

Indra escorted Rachel to her seat and helped her sit comfortably. "How dear? Sorry no?" ask Rachel.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for Azriel too" Rachel said.

"Not only that, they had to promise not to disturb Rachel and not to shock Rachel!" Azriel added.

Just as Rachel and Azriel wanted to, the children apologized to both of them. Indra's business at the school was finished.
