Ting!
Eiden's focus is back. He frowned at the sight of an unknown number sending him a message. As Eiden recalled, this personal number was confidential. No one has but his family and friends. Then, this?
Out of curiosity, Eiden opened the message.
...__________...
...08******...
• hey, Eiden
• it's me, Clara
...__________...
The deg!
What the fuck?!
Eiden. Two messages back in. Through the notification bar, he knows if the sender is saying long. Mood Eiden was destroyed instantly. Without opening at all, he deletes the message and blocks the number.
After everything he's done, he's still brave enough to call me.
...💫💫💫...
City of Milan, Italy
A woman carved a faint smile on her lips. He looked at his phone with a loud voice. “He blocked me?” muttered.
“Yaahh..” The woman stood up from her crevice. His head turned, leading to a large figura containing a happily smiling husband and wife. Miss him...
“Should I go back.?”
...💫💫💫...
The next day...
“Mommy!” emily calls Kyra who just got out of the car. Ignoring the daddy, the little girl immediately ran over to Kyra who was ready to give a hug. “Emily kangen.”
Kyra chuckles. “Kan, yesterday met.”
“Iya. But, right, Emily wants to be the same Mommy teruuussss Emily's lips came crouching forward. The woman chuckled because this little girl in her arms was so adorable.
Darren who was sitting on the bench next to the passengers until clucked. He rolled his eyes lazy. It's mami forgot or what, anyway? Darren hasn't been booked on his car door yet!
Understanding the situation, Eiden opened the car door for Darren. The boy came out with a grumbling face. “Child Om makes sprains, ah. Nempel mulu mami from yesterday.”
Eiden rubbed Darren's head slowly. “Not you. Om also dicuekin.”
Well, that's a bad fact for Eiden. Usually, his daughter was very clingy to him. Unfortunately, Emily's spoiled object isn't Eiden now, but Kyra, the woman she's tipped to be her beloved stepmother.
Darren put on a look of pity, his hand moving to pat Eiden's hard arm. “Patient, Om. This is a trial for us. Women are the most difficult creatures to understand as men.”
Whether you want to react like what, Eiden confirmed in his heart Darren's statement. Women are hard to understand. Sometimes they can be gentle, but can be fierce in a second. Moodyanes.
“Udah, get in there. Later you guys are late to class.” Kyra tells Darren and Emily to rush into the yard. He gave a kiss on the top of his son's head. “Hwaiting!” he said encouragingly.
“Too for you, Mi.” Darren kissed Kyra's cheek at a glance. Then turn around while waving your hand.
Emily was still standing next to Kyra, expecting the same kiss from the woman. However, Kyra only smiled slightly as she rubbed her head. Emily wasn't kissed, Mommy?
“Emily, really, not logged in?” wonder Kyra.
Emily disappointed. However, as much as possible he covered up those feelings. It should not be too spoiled, later his mommy candidate is ilfeel. “Iya, Mommy. Emily goes in first, yeah.”
“Iya, Darling. Her learning spirit.”
Eiden knows that his daughter is disappointed not to get a kiss from Kyra. However, blaming the woman with one child was considered inappropriate. After all, they were still not officially one family.
In fact, Kyra and Darren's approval is still gray. It is not certain if they will accept his family's offer.
“You want to go?” Eiden tries to make small talk when Kyra is about to enter the car. He rubbed the nape of his head awkwardly when Kyra looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. “Busy?”
“Yes, I have something to take care of. Is there anything you want to talk to me about, Mister?” ask Kyra.
Eiden. “No.”
“Oke.”
...💫💫💫...
At recess, Emily goes to Darren's class to ask him to play together. Like the days before, the boy was eating the provisions brought in class.
“Kak Darren.” Emily sat down next to Darren. He peeked into Darren's lunchbox. “Wah, there are equal nugget sausages a lot. Mommy made it?”
Darren nodded. He stabbed a sausage and thrust it at Emily. “Mau?”
“No playing outside?” ask Emily.
Darren stared at the glass window that showed children his age running around in the field. Honestly, the little guy wanted to join them. Unfortunately, they always call it a small hulk because of its green eyeballs. Darren, right, so upset himself.
“You want to play?” Darren asked back.
“Iya! Brother accompany Emily, yuk. Emily has no friends.”
Darren frowned. “Kok can?”
“Nknow. Every time Emily approached them, they would stay away. When Emily asked, they said their parents forbid them to play with Emily,” explained Emily plain.
“Emang why?”
“They said, Emily is the son of a cruel CEO, so you can't wait.” Emily looked at Darren with an innocent twinkle. “CEO cruel what, Brother?”
Darren was silent, he understood the meaning. He knows Emily's full daddy profile. The man was a mafia leader—like his mom—as well as a compassionate CEO. Every time there's a traitor, Eiden doesn't want to punish them.
In Darren's eyes, the traitor deserves punishment. Trust, really, ignored. Who wouldn't be angry if they were treated like that?
“Come main.” Rather than answer, Darren would rather just accept Emily's offer. He closed the remaining half of his box and left the class. Emily followed cheerfully.
Darren helps Emily get on the swing. Then push it slowly. The little girl laughed happily. He wants to try the slide too. But the game was pretty much surrounded by other kids. So, Emily chose to wait for the slippery sloping object to be quiet.
“Kak Darren wants to ride the swing too?” bargain Emily.
“Neventless. You aja.” Darren pushed back Emily's swing. The boy secretly smiled. So it feels like having a sister...
Doorr!!
“Aaaa..”.
The other kids ran to and fro. Darren turned to the school gate. He was surprised to see the security guard lying beside the post with blood. He's shot. Darren hastily helps Emily get down so they can go to safety.
Unfortunately, it was just Darren's wishful thinking. Two men with very strong faces stood before them. Quickly, Darren pulled Emily behind him. “What's up, Om?” tanyanya tried to calm down.
“You two come with us!” tell the man to be fierce.
Darren watches around, the teachers stare at him and Emily is anxious from afar. Emily's body was also shaking violently behind her. “We are both or just me?”
“Are you deaf, boy?!! You two!!” snarl another man.
Darren was grimacing slowly. “Oke, we're coming. But, do not hurt my friends with other teachers.”
“Kakak...” Ogre Emily is terrified.
The two men grinned. The boy in front of them was quite brave. In fact, Darren was very able to work together.
“Bring them,” tell one of the men.
“Not bother, Om. My feet are still working. Om enough control, not need another.” Darren held Emily's hand tightly and walked between the two men who led them into the car.
The rest.. Darren believes in mom. Mami has to save Darren and Emily.
...💫💫💫...
Brakk!
Eiden's private room headquarters door was opened roughly. The perpetrators, Garry and Erry, look ragged. Judging from the movements alone, Eiden knew if something was wrong.
“What's up?” ask Eiden.
“Master, little miss..” Garry's sentence was interrupted because the man was still breathing.
“Emily why?” Highlight Eiden's eyes sharpen.
“Emily kidnapped, Eiden!” yell Erry panicked. “But, that's not the only problem.”
“What?”
“Friends Emily, Mr. Darren, also kidnapped, Mr.” This time Garry answered. “There is a photo circulating about your closeness to Mr. Darren and Miss Kyra. Therefore, the enemy is eyeing them.”
Both of Eiden's hands were clenched. This is one of the biggest reasons why Eiden refuses to marry or be close to any woman. Instead of getting happiness, they will just fall into great danger.
“Command our men to find the culprit,” Eiden said.
Garry nodded. “I've given the order, Sir. Then..” He paused his sentence for a moment. “Should we tell Miss Kyra about this?”
Eiden. Actually, he could solve this problem himself. But, according to him, Kyra deserves to know because this matter concerns her son. It's just....
“Ya, tell him.”
