CEO Seed
Chapter 14

"What do you feel, Ka?"

"I'm getting crushed, Ram. More devastated than I ever knew I was pregnant."

Kania kissed the face of Shaka who had fallen asleep on her lap. After being satisfied playing in the square and Shaka was exhausted, now the boy had closed his eyes.

Only Shaka is the reinforcement now. Shaka's all he has now.

Suppose Kania completely aborts her womb, she may never again be able to have a child like Shaka.

Clever, intelligent, and he is so affectionate and caring to Kania. His protective soul had grown from an early age. The proof, Shaka cries to get out of the car and intends to scold Wening and Karno who is considered to have made Kania cry.

"Sometimes I think, Ram. Did my parents really think I didn't exist anymore in this world, huh? You saw that, right? Their faces were ordinary as if they had never lost their child."

"Shhhhh!" Rama put his finger on Kania's lips. Asking Kania to stop talking a no-no. "Don't talk like that. We never know what's in someone else's heart."

Rama stared fixedly at my eyes Kania. Eyes that radiate despair. "They must have lost you, missed you, worried about you, no matter how deeply they were disappointed in you. But life has to go on, right? Not that they don't feel like they lost you just because they smiled happily like that. They just hide their sadness. Seeking entertainment so that they do not dissolve in sadness. Believe, Kania. Behind their disappointments, you are still the son they always love and they miss."

Kania couldn't bear to not shed tears.

Rama immediately grabbed the bodies of Kania and Shaka to get into his arms. Kania sobbed in Rama's chest.

Until now, Kania still thinks, why is the destiny of his life like this?

Kania never regretted Shaka's presence. But Kania regrets the way God brought Shaka into her life.

I don't know when he has to go as far as before. Leaving Surabaya and loved ones in it.

Is it forever, or will it all be over soon? I don't know. Kania can only hope that her parents can accept her back. Forgive Kania and accept Shaka as their grandchild.

"I love you and Shaka, Ka. Allow me to be your protector. Under any circumstances."

Rama's words increasingly make Kania's heart and mind become uncontrollable. On one hand, Kania was comfortable being near Rama. Also with Shaka who is always happy when with Rama.

But on the other hand, Kania feels unworthy to be with Rama. Rama deserves better than himself.

The filthy woman who only hitched a life to Rama for years.

"You know my answer remains the same, Rama. Find a better woman than me."

"For me you are the best. You are willing, God and the universe bless. That's enough for me."

Kania. Can no longer reply to the words of Rama who did not want to be denied.

***

Often Kania reads books to Shaka at bedtime, making the child store a lot of memory in his brain.

When asked to follow the dongen race or the story of the prophet, Shaka eloquently told the story of one of the prophets. Even without prior preparation.

Usually, a child race like this determines for itself the story of the prophet who or what fairy tale will be told. But this time it was decided by the jury at that time. When the contestants stand before the judges.

Hanum, Bram who already knew about his grandchildren, the judges, and also Kania and Bu Vanya looked at the amazement of Shaka who was telling the story of the prophet Yusuf AS smoothly and in great detail.

Kania is so proud of her baby. He grew up without a father who knows who and where he is now. But he was able to boast of Kania with the brain intelligence he had.

Not in the use of his intelligence, but indeed his intelligence that needs to get appreciation.

"Maaallah... Mother's son is great, son." Kania kissed Shaka's face, looking at Shaka with pride as Shaka got off the stage.

Shaka laughed innocently. " There's nothing wrong, right, Mother? When Joseph dreamed of the stars, the sun and the moon, there were eleven stars, right, mother?"

Kania nodded for sure. "Rubber, baby. Shaka's a great kid, a smart kid, a smart kid. Say what, son?"

"Alhamdulillah. Maashayallah... May Shaka's intelligence be of benefit to others."

"Aamiin's."

"Aamiin," said Kania and Bu Vanya who also looked at Shaka with a proud look.

The best of man is that which benefits other men. If you have knowledge, do not be stingy to share. Practice and teach. Later there will be a reward that flows from every science that we teach to others.

Devan repeatedly played video footage as Shaka told the jury. Also when Kania hugs Shaka with pride.

Devan could see how astonished the people looked at Shaka. And they should also know that the intelligent child is his son, his flesh and blood. The result of the seeds embedded in the womb of Kania.

From here Devan should be proud. His descendants have no doubt about his quality. His good looks and intelligence are completely diminished in his son, Shaka.

It can be seen what the next offspring will be like. It's not far from Shaka now.

Devan wanted to run to the venue. But again the queen mother has not allowed Devan to meet Shaka. I don't know until when.

Or maybe Devan needs to warm up first. Meet the mother of her child, maybe. The apology and gratitude for letting Shaka grow Devan felt enough to mince words with Kania.

Shaka is playing with his new friends. While Kania and Vanya are chatting with Hanum and Bram as the owner of the show.

"I was so impressed with Shaka, Ms. Kania. She's a very intelligent ana" Bram said sincerely.

Kania smiled faintly. "Thank you, sir," he said in response to Bram's praise.

"Mr Kania is a great mother. The proof, his son can be this great. A great son must have been born of a great mother."

Kania just smiled. If they knew how Kania lived, they would not praise Shaka and Kania like this. That's what's on Kania's mind.

As Kania knows, Bram and Hanum are nobody. They have no idea how Kania is taking the trouble to rearrange her life after everything she's been through.

And what Bram and Hanum have in mind, Kania is a great figure who can pass the test of his life. His once beautiful life has been destroyed by their only child.

"What kind of work do you have, Ka?" tanya Hanum provoked Kania's reaction.

The smile on Kania's lips dimmed at the question. Again. People often ask where their husband is. "I'm a single parent, Mom." The same is true when people ask where her husband is.

"I'm sorry if my question made you uncomfortable, Ka."

Kania nodded and smiled bitterly. "It's okay, Mom. It's normal" he replied sarcasm. "I'll excuse you, ma'am. Go to the bathroom for a minute." Pamit Kania to avoid.

Bram and Hanum invite Kania to move.

***

I didn't really go to the bathroom. He just wants to walk away from Bram and Hanum to avoid questions about his life. He fears it will affect Shaka's worth.

Sometimes, people look one eye with the life experienced by Kania. And Kania didn't want that to happen this time.

Kania's eyes stared straight at the dapan. Empty views. There were a lot of things spinning in his head. And honestly, it made him tired.

His heart and mind were tired enough to live his life. Fortunately, there is Shaka who is the amplifier.

"Ouch!"

"Eh, sorry, sorry. I was not intentional."

Kania tried to stand back up after someone hit her so hard. I don't know whose fault. It was either Kania who was daydreaming, or that person who had not seen Kania.

"That's okay," Kania replied after she got back on her feet.

Kania's heart felt loose when he saw the figure in front of him. His breathing stopped in his throat. Her chest rumbled violently. His eyes warmed up along with the translucent circles dripping down his cheeks.

The man is now in front of him.

Five years passed by and Kania did not forget that face.

Devan. The man who ruined his life. The man who ruined all his dreams. A man who has taken away happiness in his life.

The world of Kania stopped turning. The night went back to spinning in his brain. The pain as the man snatched away his sadism, the disgusting sound that escaped from the man's lips, was all still clearly recorded in Kania's brain.

Kania closed her eyes tightly, trying to cast off those shadows. The more Kania tried, all the more clearly visible until finally the darkness picked her up.

Kania fell down and began to lose consciousness. The only thing he heard before his consciousness was completely gone was the mere cry of his puppet child.

"Mother!!!"
