“I like you.”
Silent. Eiden's statement that impressed so quickly made Kyra confused. He did not know what to say with the words.
Kyra admits, slowly she begins to get comfortable near Eiden, her husband. It's just, to be in the stage of like or love, Kyra is not sure yet. After all, the figure of Wildan, her first husband, is always haunting. In fact, the name of the man still occupied a special position in his heart.
However, rejecting the love of your own husband does not taste good. Especially with Eiden's nature so rigid, surely the man needs a lot of struggle to be able to express feelings.
“Eiden, i—”
“I don't ask you to reply now,” cut Eiden fast. Her hands stretched out tidying up Kyra's hair child that fell on her forehead. “I just want you to know that I am comfortable with you. That's aja.”
Kyra nodded in understanding. “I'm also comfortable, really. Just love, sorry, I need time. But, from the beginning we married, I have convinced my heart to make you accept slowly.”
“Thank you,” reply Eiden whispered. The man's lips curved perfectly. Kyra who just saw him was fascinated.
Eiden's smile is so handsome, my God!
Kyra cleared a short throat. He began to distance himself because of wrong behavior. The understanding Eiden chuckled softly.
Eiden invites Kyra to sleep after promising to meet the woman with Brian tomorrow. Kyra who likes to hug Eiden again, even kissed the man's cheek. Eiden smiled slightly as he hugged.
That night, the couple slept in a hugging position.
...💫💫💫...
The next day...
As Darren said, today Eiden and Kyra come to school to talk about Darren's education. Emily who has been given understanding trying to understand although still not fully willing.
Along the way, Eiden, Kyra, Darren, and Emily are in one car. While the bodyguards boarded another car behind them—only Xania and Olin as today Eiden himself will be guarding Kyra. This time, Eiden chose to drive himself.
Arriving at school, Eiden and Kyra drop Emily off to her class before heading to the principal's room. Darren chose to join because he wanted to know the results of the discussion including the process.
“Good, Ma'am, sir, I will directly explain my point,” said the headmaster's mother when Darren's parents arrived. “The development of the son of the Father and Mother, Darren, exceeds children his age. Darren can always master lessons, even those that have not been taught. Currently, Darren alone can read smoothly, write neatly, count; from addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.”
“Add again, the attitude and nature of Darren is indeed more mature. His psychics and mindset surpass those of children his age. Therefore, I advise if it is better for Darren to be approved early in order to get into SD. But this is just my advice. The decision remains in the hands of Father and Mother, Darren's parents. So, have you and your mom thought about it? If you agree, we, the school, will prepare graduation papers for Darren,” explained the principal at length.
Eiden and Kyra looked at each other. Then it focused on Darren who was also staring at the two. “Darren want to go up class more cepet?” kyra asked wanting to know her son's opinion.
“Kalo Darren, anyway, just want. Darren likes to learn. But, it depends Mommy same Daddy,” replied Darren as is.
Kyra also turned her attention to her husband. His head nodded slowly, a code. The same thing that the man answered.
“Then, we as Darren's parents agree, Mom. We will find the best school for Darren,” said Kyra. He intends to enroll his son in a school that supports Darren's smart brain.
The principal's mother smiled. The woman with almost gray hair was pleased at Darren's parents' decision. “Good then. We'll get Darren's graduation papers ready. Until the letter is ready, Darren can still stay in school if he wants to. If not also it's okay.”
“Yes, Madam Teacher. Thank you,” said Darren sincerely. Her green eyeballs glowed, indicating she was happy.
The principal's mother laughed softly. “Seeing you are a genius and your eyeballs are unique, I so remember the boy,” he said suddenly. “But, he must be big now.”
“Wah, who, Bu?” ask Kyra curiously.
“Jovan and Jovin, they're twins. Her eyes are purple, beautiful and unique. Their intelligence is completely beyond reason. I remember, they are still 6 years old, but they have entered class 6 SD.”
Eiden, Kyra, and Darren are flabbergasted. It turned out that there was another child who was much more genius than Darren. In fact, the class is very different.
“Hm, I know them,” says Eiden. He knows who Jovan and Jovin are, Rayhan's children, friends who are like sisters to him. The man admitted, the twins are really geniuses.
Kyra surprised. “You know?”
“Yes, he's the son of my business partner.” Eiden would not elaborate further. Fearing, Rayhan did not want to expose the twins. However, Eiden still needs permission to say who Jovan and Jovin are to the people around him. “Now they are 11 years.”
Darren clucked in admiration. “Darren to see you, Daddy. Darren wants to learn with.”
As if nothing was important, Kyra and Eiden said goodbye. Darren chooses to stay at school to accompany Emily. The little girl must be panicking if she comes home without saying goodbye.
Not to the company, Darren keeps his promise to bring Kyra together with Brian. Her sister-in-law was detained in her mansion, which had witnessed Eiden and Kyra's first union before marriage.
Eiden sent Brian there. After all, the man was his wife's older brother which meant his sister-in-law. Plus, Eiden is not ready if his identity as a mobster is revealed as soon as this. Eiden will keep his wife dependent on him so that if that day comes, Kyra will not leave even if she is disappointed.
If necessary, Eiden will get his wife pregnant as soon as possible.
Arriving in front of the mansion, Eiden parked his car where it was available. Kyra remembers this building. For him, this place is very historic.
“Kakak in dalem?” kyra asked in a similar way to Eiden.
The man agreed.
Just a few steps away, Kyra can see the figure of Brian, a man who is so similar to Ansel, her brother. The man was snacking on chips with Erry— who was assigned to look after Brian. Both focus on watching TV.
“Ekhem!” Eiden is deliberately beating.
The focus of the two people was instantly distracted. Kyra and Brian both froze in their respective positions. However, their gazes hinted at many things.
For whatever sake, Brian felt the woman in front of him was very familiar. Usually when he meets new people, Brian will feel alien. But Kyra is different. Brian even felt close, as if the blood relationship was real.
Kyra glassy. “Ansel's sister!” his screeches. He ran and hugged Brian who was standing. The woman's cry broke out, Kyra really missed her humorous sister figure who always enlivened the atmosphere. “Hiks.. Kyra kangen's. Brother, hiks... Where to? Why not, hiks... dateng if he is still alive? Hix.. Kyra thought Brother already, hiks. died.”.
Brian's body is stiff. Heart's pounding. He looked at Eiden and Erry alternately, puzzled as to how to respond. However, at the behest of her heart, the man reciprocates Kyra's embrace, claiming to be her sister.
“Sorry.” That's all Brian said. When that warm feeling flowed into his heart, he tightened his embrace. Although no memory was awakened, Brian could still feel real emotions in his heart.
Kyra. Her eyes were red, her cheeks wet, and her lips pursed. “Do not go again, yes. Brother scared Kyra. Kyra thought, Sister is leaving Kyra.”
Brian smiles. “Iya.”
Eiden who noticed the interaction was both unhappy. There was a rumble created in his heart. He did not like his wife being hugged by another man, even his own brother-in-law.
Unfortunately, Eiden did not want to be selfish. He understood, his wife missed her brother. They have been separated for 7 years. Hence, for this time—ONLY THIS TIME—Eiden will give a chance.
After that, Kyra started telling her family. Especially important moments that occur so that it can stimulate Brian's memory. The man's head hurts every time he tries to remember something, but he insists. He looked at photos of himself and his sister shown on a mobile phone. There's alot. That way, Brian believes Kyra is his sister.
In fact, there are family photos. Papa, mama, himself, and his sister.
“Don't be forced if your head hurts, slow down,” Kyra pinta sad because Brian often grimaces every time he shows photos. “That's important we've collected, Brother still have a lot of time.”
“Oh, yes, this is Eiden, Kyra's husband, meaning sister-in-law Brother. Two weeks to go there's a wedding reception. Later Brother dateng, yes,” exclaim Kyra spirit.
Brian's confused. He looked at Eiden who nodded. As a result, Brian smiled and accepted the invitation.
“So I also have a nephew, two, you know. Later sometime we play together, yes.” Kyra kept chattering happily.
While Brian worried about the situation of his sister later. His fellow mafia members must have been aware of his absence. If they find out she's here, Kyra could be in danger. He's afraid this one-of-a-kind family will do anything. There is also his nephew.
The unrest was understood by Eiden and Erry. The two men had already thought of some solutions. Talk to Brian.
“Let's go to papa's grave! Papa must be happy if you come.” Kyra pulled the resigned-looking Brian.
Eiden took a breath. If he knew it would be like, he should have postponed the meeting between Kyra and Brian. Kyra doesn't remember it at all. In fact, he was not invited to the tomb of the in-law, even though Eiden had never been there.
“EIDEN!” Kyra went back into the mansion. “Sorry, I forgot about you. Come on you come too. You haven't met your father-in-law, have you?”
In that instant, Erry glanced at his strange cold companion. Since when can Eiden smile that bright?
