45 Darians

[Can we meet?]

[Alright.]

Rara immediately put the cottage on the table, she sat leaning her body, and not long after she left the boutique.

Twenty minutes later Rara arrived at the cafe not far from her boutique. A man was sitting in the corner of the cafe, drinking a cup of coffee whose smoke was still billowing.

"Sit down, honey."

Rara sat down immediately. Ha's face scanned the man before her. Still looks young and handsome, although it also looks to save a lot of burden.

"Who's papa's name?"

Deg

One question and one name made the man's heart beat.

"Darians. Papa's name, Darian."

"Did you know that papa used to see me?"

"No."

"Do you know where papa is right now?"

"No."

Okay, Rara nodded in understanding. Rara wanted to ask what really happened to her parents, but she herself was not ready to listen to any of it.

Whatever the reason, he was very sure that he would be disappointed.

Infidelity

That's one word he had in mind, the reason his parents were no longer together.

What else is it?

There's no reason for not having children, right?

Those bad thoughts really hurt Rara. He tried to hold back his tears, so as not to drip in front of the man who had wasted him and his mother.

If anyone is having an affair, he is very sure that it is his papa. Her mother has never been close to any man, let alone married.

He knows nothing at all. There is no proof that the father is not cheating, let alone getting married again.

Rara lowered.

Darian saw sadness on his daughter's face. He had not even said anything, but on the face it had already shown a huge disappointment.

How could she tell about her past and Rara's mother?

Rara wanted to ask, why was she abandoned, did the papa not want her? Doesn't love him? Then why come again now? Tore up the life of him who for a few years was fine.

Who is that girl?

The woman who had taken the father from him and his mother.

Rara subconsciously shook her head. No, he did not want to hear any explanation, because only pain would he get.

Rara set her breath.

"Don't see me again, don't send messages or anything related to me and my mom. My mom and I have been fine all along. We are happy even without the presence of a backbone between us."

Darian squeezed his hand. He immediately got a rejection from his son, when he had just heard his son calling him papa.

"Honey, please listen to me first ...."

"No. I don't want to be hurt."

Heartache.

Yes, of course that is what the person who is dumped will feel. Do they hope that after leaving a dozen years, they will be welcomed with open arms?

"Give me a chance, Ra. Papa loves you very much. Papa won't leave you again."

"Why didn't papa see mom? Papa's meeting me secretly, right?"

Not that she didn't want to, but Darian wasn't ready with her own heart. Just like how she felt to Rara, she was also afraid of being rejected.

"Papa .. will find time to see your mother."

"When? Wait for mom to discover papa's whereabouts? Meeting papa like this makes me feel like I'm betraying mama."
