The Simpang Jalan
Chapter 76

For 3 days the newlyweds kept themselves locked in the room. But this time Davi wore a t-shirt and pants material.

"Where are you, baby?" ask Fanny.

"You go to Likha's hut for a minute."

"Don't dip in there!" fanny's Nagging.

"No, I'm there to take care of our pain. She fooled me with her love drama, and I wanted to pay for it all along with the flowers." Davi held back Fanny's nape and kissed the woman's lips wildly.

This kind of romantic treatment is what Fanny hopes from Davi, she really enjoys every second of her togetherness. Eventually the link was released. "When's it back?"

"Maybe scoundrels. But I have to go to Rachel's school first, yeah .. play a good stepdad supporting a love-drama."

"From there directly to my apartment yes, I want us to spend the night there."

"Dear, I'm going."

Davi borrowed his mother's car, and soon headed for Likha's contract.

***

Likha felt familiar with the car parked in her rented yard, she had not remembered who the owner of the car was, but suddenly her happiness exploded, the figure she missed for 3 days is back.

"Mas Davi ...."

Likha tried to get up, but Davi still approached her first.

"Mas, why is it difficult to be contacted, is it not possible to reply to my message even once."

"I purposely ignored all your messages and did not receive your calls, all of them made me feel valuable and missed, I got more passion working every time I saw my screen there was your name and there was a message from you, if I answer your message or I receive your call, the spirit just goes away, because once you know how I am, you don't call me anymore."

Likha's face was met with red, for what's sake? Davi deliberately ignored all that so that he always contacted Davi. "Bad brass! I'm worried to know!"

"I know, and I'm happy because I feel like you miss me so much, and worry about me. This concern of yours makes me happier to have you. I love you dear." Davi landed his kiss between Likha's eyebrows. The kiss she gave off instantly made her stomach feel wrapped around, doing this sweet thing to Likha right now felt nauseating. From within him, he instead wanted to bang this woman's head against the padlock and kick her as hard as he could.

"Mas ... kangen ...." Likha signals Davi to their horse race.

"Mas is also kangen, but now Nanda's show, mas wants to go there as Nanda's papa."

"Just Nanda?" Likha.

"Only Nanda needs me." Davi grabbed his wallet, took some money from there and gave it to Likha. "For your needs as long as I'm not at home, I get extra work from another cafe. May my work be good in order to be happy in you."

"When are we overtime?"

"Until the job doesn't need me anymore. I'll go first."

"Who's car, man?"

"That's mom's car, and mom started to melt down when she heard you were pregnant, she lent me this car so I could work."

Likha grew happier hearing Davi's mother begin to notice them. But the happiness was instantly gone, because what he longed for had to go again. Davi's arrival for Nanda, this was more than enough, although his inner screaming could not climb to the top of satisfaction with Davi.

School Events.

Rachel appeared to recite a poem about her mother, the poem not only made Kia's tears drip, but the other mother also moved. Rachel's poem finished, the sound of thunderous applause appreciating Rachel's performance.

"There are words you want to say to your mother?" ask the show host.

"There's."

From her seat Kia continued to pray, may her son not say anything.

Rachel put her mouth closer to the mic.

Mother, she's a selfish beautiful woman. No one else scolded his son, but he scolded me himself until I cried.

Mommy, she's the strongest race I know, she can be anything to me, so Dad, be a friend, be a friend, but sometimes you can be my rival.

Kia tried to hold her breath.

This time Kia's wish was granted, Rachel finished her sentence and stepped off the stage.

"Ah .. thank God ..." said Kia slowly.

The class hike went well, each child had their own story. In a corner of the school garden, just under a shady tree, Misye opened her son's report.

"Everything is below average." He massaged his head which started to throb.

Many parents post their children's achievements on their social media, while Misye is just a contributor of likes and congratulatory comments to them.

"Mama also wanted to post Ziel's success huh?"

"Nothing Ziel does not perform, it's okay Ziel is not number one, but Ziel number 1 from the back, keep Nak!" misye said in a half-mockful tone.

Not demanding the child to be better, it's just that as a parent Misye also hopes her child achieves out of whatever things she likes.

"Hey Ziel ...."

The greeting caught the attention of Azriel and Misye.

"Hi Rachel too, you want to use a wheelchair?" Azriel observes Rachel's condition.

"Yes must, kasian ma'am guru gendong me if I do not use a wheelchair, because today om Indra there is an important job."

"Oh yeah, I forgot that om was gone last night."

"Where's Rachel's worth, Ki?" ask Misye.

"Satisfying." Kia gave her sweet smile.

"I'm not Aunty's champion this time" said Rachel.

"But Rachel is a champion in your heart" interrupted Kia.

"Mrrrt ...." Rachel was deeply moved by Kia's attitude.

"Congratulations Rachel, now Rachel's in 6th grade."

The smile on their faces instantly vanished due to the arrival of that person.

"Mother, we're going home now!" Rachel stared cynically at Davi.

"Salim used to be with Dad," persuaded Kia.

"Relieve it!" Rachel moved her chair wheel with the power from her hands.

"Dear ziel, help Rachel yuk." take Misye.

"Yes my mom." Azriel immediately pushes Rachel's wheelchair under Misye's supervision.

How could he struggle to get Kia back, seeing Kia's gaze alone he could feel women uncomfortable looking at him. Davi stared at Rachel who just left. "Happy Kia, you managed to make Rachel hate me."

"Udah can not take care of the heart, now plus can not keep the mouth!" nagging Kia.

"Look at Rachel's change right now, you're gonna teach her to hate me!"

"Your son hates you for what you did! I never taught Rachel to hate people, let alone her father. As depraved as you are, I still respect you as the father of Rachel, I just don't hate you, even though I'm the one who's hurt the most!"

"Reply Ki, I know the pain I gave was overdue."

"Enough God retorts, I don't want to get tired of dealing with you."

"Owh, so that's why you blocked everything about me."

Kia stared cynically at Davi. "The less obvious you are!" Kia immediately turned around wanting to leave Davi, but at the same time there was a child running in front of him, so as not to hit the child Kia held back his movement, but at the same time there was a child running in front of him, this made him lose his balance and fall in Davi's arms.

Davi is eager to stop this moment forever, this is the most beautiful moment of his life.

"I'm sorry, intentionally." Kia let go of Davi's embrace violently, making the man's body stagger, Kia immediately left the man.
