Daddy's Naughty Hands
Chapter 44: Choice
5 Years later
"Mrs ...."
A little boy ran for joy to the mother who had just come to pick him up. The greatest happiness for the child is the moment to go home from school. The little hand hugged his mother's body warmly.
"Hello, honey, is today fun at school?" ask the mother with her sweetest smile.
"In school I was happy. But I'd rather meet Mama. I want to go home quickly" said the boy innocently.
The mother smiled back. "Alright, then we go home now!"
The young woman was Jessy. And that little boy is Zylan, the son he gave birth to four years ago.
Jessy never imagined that she would give birth to a child without marriage. The child is Mark's son, the only man he has ever slept with.
The flash back
"How do you want now?" ask Mark.
They had just made it out of the Wilson family residence. Jessy herself was confused by her decision. Justin won't go with him as planned.
Mark took Jessy's hand. "If you have nowhere to go, stay with me" he said.
Jessy let go of that hand. "Sorry, Sir. I said I wanted to end this relationship. I can't be with you."
"Then what do you want? You also have no clear purpose. You think living out there can be easy?" Mark is not out of thought with Jessy's stubbornness.
"I feel so guilty for destroying your family. Please, don't add any more weight to my heart."
"The Wilson family won't forgive you easily, Jessy. You can't stay in this town."
"I understand. That's why I'm going as far away from here as possible."
"Without Justin?"
Jessy nodded. "I'm going to go where Justin and I agreed. Please keep the promise not to interfere in my life again. I want to go now" said Jessy.
He stopped a taxi that happened to be passing by. Without thinking for long, he entered the taxi and left Mark.
"To the station, sir!" jessy Pinta.
"Good, Mba."
Jessy wiped her tears. It was enough to cry because there was no point. His fate would also not change despite continuing to cry.
There is nothing to be sorry about what happened. Even without Justin, he will still open a new page in his life.
Arriving at the station, he boards a train that will take him far away from the city full of memories.
Flash back off
"Mrs ...,"
"Hm?"
"Said Dio, he's seen dinosaurs before."
"Oh, dinosaurs ... Look where?"
"Not knowing." Zylan shook his head.
Jessy just smiled. He knew the dinosaur hang his son meant a new playground that was recently inaugurated in their city.
"I also want to see dinosaurs, Ma ...," whined Zylan.
Zylan was singing his lips. "When is Mama off? Even at home, Mama is still working" the little boy complained.
By the end of the year there is usually an audit. All employees at the company including Jessy must accept to do overtime. Moreover, there is a plan of employee and leadership change. If he can't show his best performance, he can be cut off.
"I'm sorry, honey. My mom has been pretty busy lately. Later if it's not busy, Mama promises to take you to see the dinosaurs" said Jessy.
"Hello, Zylan ...."
There was a man waiting in front of Jessy's house while showing Zylan a package of toys. The little boy reflex took off Jessy's hand and approached her.
"Om Nino ...," exclaimed in excitement.
"This is for Om Nino!" he gave Zylan the toy box.
"Yeah! It's escavator!" Zylan exclaimed in excitement.
"You're happy, right?"
"It's so nice, Om. Thanks," Zylan smiled widely.
"Nino, I told you you don't have to buy Zylan toys. Mending you to save money from your work" Jessy protested.
"I don't buy Nino toys every day either, sister. It just so happens that there's work outside the city just keep looking at these toys so remember Zylan."
"Yes, go inside!" take Jessy.
Nino is the son of Mr. Dasiran who at that time Jessy helped the cost of kidney surgery. The kid just graduated college and got a job. It just so happens that he works in the same town as Jessy so they can meet.
"How are your mom and dad?" jessy asked while serving a glass of warm tea to Nino.
"They're healthy, brother. The plan is that if I've been appointed as a permanent employee at the company, they'll move me to this city."
"Craftsmen save up if you have a payday, don't spend your money to buy Zylan a toy."
"What I gave to Zylan is nothing compared to the help that Big Brother gave me."
Zylan plays his new toy with enthusiasm. Moreover, the toys that Nino gave can run alone with remote control control.
"I haven't told my mom and dad that Jessy's sister has a child" Nino said.
Jessy smiled. "You don't have to say it. I'm afraid they'll come to mind. Besides, I can take good care of Zylan, too."
"Areally who is Zylan's father, brother? What's that guy named Justin?" ask Nino.
Jessy remained silent. He had not heard the name Justin mentioned. He had almost forgotten the man who was his first love.
"It doesn't feel fair that the man can live happily with his son and wife while Brother here is in his own distress with Zylan. In my opinion, Big Brother still has to hold that man responsible!"
"Zylan's father isn't him, Nino. Please, you don't talk about it anymore."
Hearing the name Justin makes bitter memories that want to be forgotten reappear. He already knew the news of Justin's marriage with Ellena finally held five years ago. Justin also has a daughter. Perhaps his age was also not far adrift with Zylan.
After deciding to go to the city, every day Jessy waited for news from Justin. He still hopes Justin can change his mind and catch up with him. Justin never came.
Jessy was surprised by the results of the pregnancy that the doctor told her. Unexpectedly, she was pregnant while leaving her old town. The last relationship he had with Mark turned out to present Zylan in his stomach.
"If not him then who, brother? You two will live like this?"
"Nino ...," Jessy pulled out a swirl.
Nino did not dare to ask again. He drinks the tea Jessy made and plays with Zylan.
Jessy let out a breath. Sometimes he wanted to tell Mark that he had a child with him. However, not necessarily Mark also wanted the child. Especially a child born to a poor woman like her. He was afraid that his son would be removed by their family.
