(Family) Bound
Edo's girlfriend

Shaka and Kira followed into the living room and it was seen that the food Edo had ordered had already come. Adam looked still looking at the two lovebirds with an annoyed face while Rendra still could not stop laughing. Edo continued to be silent because he felt awkward after catching his parents.

“Now explain why you can be here..?? Edo called me and Rendra because you didn't come home all night and couldn't be reached. Edo also says Kira went to help Shaka who was in trouble. Don't you guys know you've got everyone worried..??!!” Adam's merciless.

“Sorry, brother. But it was true last night I had a problem. And I asked Kira for help to help me.” Shaka said.

“What problem..?? Why did you ask Kira for help instead of me or the others.???” Adam's question was still not satisfied with Shaka's answer.

Then Shaka and Kira also explain their problems with Kate from the beginning of their meeting with Shaka until last night.

“So that crazy girl put a stimulant drug into your drink.??” Ask Rendra.

“That's.” Answer Shaka.

“Why don't you just leave here and lock yourself in the bathroom.??” Ask Rendra again.

“That time I couldn't control myself anymore, brother. I was afraid that I would get caught again and my defense would collapse until I betrayed Kira. Had I been able to get out of this room I was afraid I would have attacked another woman for release. So I locked myself in the bathroom and called Kira for help.” Shaka said with a meaningful smile.

“So you mean asking for Kira's help is actually for.” Said Adam not continuing his words while glancing at Edo who was listening.

“Get rid of that perverted face of yours, damn it.!!” Adam continued to be upset because he saw Shaka continued to smile with pleasure. Rendra's laughter grew louder as Adam and Shaka were behaving.

“Then what's your plan now.??” Ask Rendra after she stopped laughing.

“Cooperation signature will be done today at 2pm. I'll see how they react after this. If they keep asking Kate to handle this partnership and even let it happen last night, I'll cancel our partnership. I don't want to risk Kate destroying my family. I can still find other partners to further my efforts. But I can't replace my family with anything.” Shaka said without hesitation.

Adam and Rendra continue to stare at Shaka, in their minds filled with admiration for Shaka's loyalty to Kira and his love for their family. The family is Shaka's strength, but also his weakness. And that's what Adam had feared all along.

“If anything happens tell me. I'll help you. I won't let anyone harass my family.” Said Adam.

“Thank you, sis. But for now, I'll handle it myself. I just wanted help to take care of my family. Because I don't know what Kate will do after this.” Shaka.

“Don't worry about that, dad. I'll take care of mommy and my sisters.” Said Edo.

“Thank you, Ed.” Shaka said as he patted Edo's shoulder gently sitting beside him.

“Better you guys go home soon, Shaka should also prepare to meet the CEO of Scarlett Group to sign the cooperation agreement.” Rendra.

“I leave from here only.” Shaka said as he continued to hold tightly onto Kira's hand.

Kira looked at Shaka with a faint feeling. While Adam squinted his eyes at Shaka and Kira's hands.

“Don't say that you will continue your activities earlier..!! Aren't you afraid of having another child.???” Adam Excited.

“As long as Kira's willing, I don't mind. What do you think, dear.??” Tanya Shaka was spoiled, while Kira was just silent with a face as red as a tomato.

“Do you not think of Edo..?? Your son will be in a few years' time to find the woman he loves and marry. Can you imagine his son will play with an uncle or aunt who is the same age as them.???” Adam's murmur.

Edo, whose name is called, just stood still and grabbed the glass in front of him.

“I don't think I need to wait that long. Edo already has a girlfriend and she is very beautiful, it seems also she is a good girl.” Said Rendra casually making Edo almost choke on his own drink.

“Eeehh. mom, I can explain. That..wait a minute. Why is Oom Rendra so sure that I already have a boyfriend.??” Edo's question didn't take it.

“Two weeks ago I took my wife and kids to an amusement park. That's where I saw you with a girl. You two look so friendly, you don't realize I'm only 2 people in front of you when you queue to buy a roller coaster ticket. And your son is really romantic. As her exhausted girl surrounded the amusement park, she carried the girl on her back to continue their date. Frankly, I never even did that to Maudy, my wife.” Said Rendra while laughing at Edo who was getting wrong. Edo's face immediately pale because two weeks ago he did go with Luna to the amusement park.

“I have a test this afternoon. Edo go first, mom. dad..” Edo said as he hurried out of the room.

In a hurry, Edo almost tripped over the items that were still scattered due to Kira's fight last night.

“Bie, does Edo really have a girlfriend.??” Ask Kira.

“It looks like so.” Answer Shaka.

“Do you think their relationship is serious..?? Edo is too young to get married.” Kira said.

“Darling, did you forget how old I was when I married you.??” Tanya Shaka pinched Kira's cheek.

“That's because you're too stubborn and impatient.” Kira sewot said.

“That's because I love you too much.” Shaka said as he rubbed Kira's hair with his nose. Kira hits Shaka's arm slowly because there is still Adam and Rendra there.

“Yaa Lord.. since morning my eyes and mind were completely polluted by these two shameless people.” Adam complained while he was pinching his head.

“We go, Ren..!!” Adam exclaimed as he felt his protest was ignored by Shaka and Kira.

“I'll just go home.” Rendra.

“You have no task.??” Ask Adam.

“I immediately applied for leave after Edo called me. After seeing them both I miss Maudy.” Said Rendra who suddenly missed his wife.

“As of you only.” Adam said, rolling his eyes.

Meanwhile, Edo who was currently on his way home using an online taxi could not stop smiling. He was embarrassed because he had caught his parents who were making out. But she also admires the love between Shaka and Kira which seems to be getting stronger every day. Even though there are so many differences between them. But Shaka and Kira have always been able to cope. They always seem to support and encourage each other. Edo really hopes that when they find the right girl, they will be able to love each other like Shaka and Kira.

Edo's smile disappeared as he remembered Aluna. For some reason when thinking about the future, Luna's shadow actually appeared in her mind. The girl really kept her promise. He stopped seeing Edo after their deal to date for a day ended. And now Edo misses Luna. He so missed Luna's attention and silly behavior to attract her attention. Edo misses Luna's nagging and possessive attitude. He misses lunch with Luna, misses the food Luna made, misses Luna's beautiful face which is always adorned with a sweet smile. The last two weeks of her mind were filled with Luna's figure.

“Looks like I'm out of my mind. Why do I keep thinking about that crazy girl.??” Rutuk Edo in heart.
