Don't (Blame) Love
SESION 2 PART 25

"Mamaaaa I want mama, Pa... Mama where?" whine while crying in Aditya's arms.

While the man was just silent as he patted the little boy on the back without saying anything.

With great difficulty he put his daughter to bed and went out of the room to call someone.

"Hello, Nov. Don't you think about our son? If you hate me, it doesn't matter. But, I beg for Axel."

"Mas, don't you remember? From the beginning of my pregnancy I didn't want the child, I was willing to throw it away. But, you forbade me and married me instead,"

"I love you, Nov. I also love our son, I want us to live happily together. Isn't this our dream when we first met, Nov? I support you as a flight attendant and vice versa. Don't you remember our moments during the video call before you flew or took off?"

"It's all the past, Mom. You bring it up too, I want to live alone without your presence. For Axel he's also my son, as soon as I'm off and there's no flight schedule I'll go there and take him to stay at my house."

Tuuuttt...

Without Aditya guessing, the morning when he feeds his son Novita comes. He invited his son to play with his father. So that anyone thought that Novita undoes his intention to separate.but, who sangaka during the day when Axel was asleep Novita took the map out of his bag.

"Please sign this!"

Aditya looked up in disbelief, his hands shaking to see that the paper asking for his signature was a divorce letter.

"What's your max, Nov?"

"You said you love me, right? You love me the same? And want me to always be happy, now prove your words, Mas. I'll be happy if you let me go. Doesn't love have to be?"

"What made you this way, Nov? Didn't you promise? And if you don't want to be with me why are you giving me false hope?"

"But I dare swear, Mas Axel is your flesh and blood!" Novita seru teras.

"Did I accuse you that he wasn't my son? That's why you want to..."

"Father, Mama. Why are you guys fighting?"

From outside the door appeared the little boy limped while rubbing his eyes. It seemed like her new sleep was interrupted by the quarrel of her parents.

"Here Axel. We're not fighting, we're." Aditya reached out to his son and held him.

Novita only froze for a few minutes and squatted under Aditya.

"Axel, from now on we won't live together, Mama and Papa will get divorced. All right here, huh? Every now and then if Mama's off, she'll come see you.

The three-year-old boy was crying loudly even though he did not know what divorce was. It's just that the child's expression really shows that he really needs his mom and dad to stay together.

The boy quickly escaped from the lap of his papa teaching his mother and embracing her strangeness at the foot of his mother's level.

"Mama, Axel promised not to be naughty anymore, Ma. But mama don't go. Mama don't split with papa, huh? Axel wants mom and dad together. Axel promises not to fuss if mama will fly to work. But, don't say goodbye, Ma."

The boy kept crying. No matter what, even though his mother tried hard to release the embrace on his feet.

Aditya was too shocked not to think that the woman he had loved all this time was like that, a calm and educated woman said firmly without guilt in front of a three-year-old child if she was going to divorce.

How would Axel's psychology be like this?

Especially with the heart of Noviya pushing hard the small body hard on the ground until it fell down.

"Axel, you're as stubborn as your papa, always making your mother's patience run out!" His impact while glaring.

"God! Novita! He's your son with your flesh, you have heart, huh?" yell Aditya emotion.

Without any explanation the woman went half-run.

"Mamaaaaa... "

The little body thrashed his hands and the kakinua moved freely crying out in solidarity. While the woman he called with the call of mama, his heart was not shaken.

"Your work, Nov." Bait Aditya while wiping his tears. Not happy with his son.

After the incident Axel was seriously ill, but, Novita was not even a bit of a nod, even though Axel had been treated in the hospital. And the fifth day when Axel was allowed to go home Novita makah change his phone number and block all Aditya social media accounts.

For almost two years Aditya maintained his household until he finally gave up and chose to let go.

🌸 🌸 🌸

Quen bengong heard Aditya's story, he did not expect people to be even in vain.

With Reflek Quen stroking Aditya's left arm to give spirit.

"Prophey, sir? I hope Axel's mom wakes up soon."

"Yes, Quen. Thanks though. Sorry if I had to tell you everything.

"I don't mind, sir. But, if one day he wants to come back would you be willing to take it again?"

"It seems impossible, Quen. He found his happiness. A week ago she got married."

"Huh, are you married? Isn't she still past her idiom as a Widow?"

"He's very stubborn, no one can advise him. All this time he's been thinking about himself and doing whatever he wants."

Soon the car entered a large yard to the left of an old man of Andreas' age playing ball with a child about five years old.

Quen and Aditya got out of the car. He was greeted warmly by the little boy who hugged him.

Aditya who was crouching received the collision the boy fell down lying hugging his little hero.

"Papa, I managed to score five times while training with my grandfather" he said happily.

"Oh, really? Papa champ is indeed the best," said Aditya while standing and grngdong Axel on both shoulders.

The boy laughed happily, barely seeing the sadness on his innocent face. Maybe he's tired of expecting his mother back. Or, just don't want to make his papa sad. It is not that the toddler is very sensitive to the feelings of the closest people.

"Axhelen. This is papa's friend, his name is Brother Quen."

"Wow... Beautiful name, Grandma says Quen means queen. Brother is also beautiful, fit to be queen, hahaha."

Quen blushed in embarrassment with the flailing of the toddler in front of him. He crouched down and got to know each other.

"Your name is Axel, right? Your dad told me about you, he said you were a great kid" Quen said with a smile.

"Sister, come with me, can you play football?" The boy immediately pulled Quen's hand to ask him to run.

"Axel, let brother sit down first, we'll play him inside, okay good boy?" Shouted Aditya.

The boy stopped and agreed to his request.

"Ok, okay. Let's get our brother inside." And again the boy ran very nimble. Although Quen could pursue a career. But, there's no way he's running fast at people's houses, right? Moreover, this was the first time he came to his lecturer's house.

"Quen, introduce him to my mom and dad." Aditya's eyes looked towards Quen and the two old men in front of him in turn.

"You smester brapa now, son? Look so young?" ask Livia, Aditya's mother.

"I'm a student this year, Mom. Just gonna pass a smester." Once again Quen smiled sweetly showing a shagged tooth and a dimple on his right cheek.

"Yes, sit down first, son. Dad, try to keep an eye on your granddaughter first" Livia told her husband and they stayed alone in the living room.

The two sat facing each other awkwardly. Suddenly Aditya asks Quen something he never expected before.

"What did you call my mama? Mommy?" tanyanya while chuckling.

"Indeed I should call him Grandma and Grandpa, sir? Or auntie? Looks like an ethical kidam. It would be more polite to call me mother."

Aditya giggled small, "Make practice, ntr if it's not awkward, huh? Because I'm used to it."

"Ih, what the hell?" Quen smiled shyly as he hit Aditya's arm.

"Son, Quen. Please drink the tea."

Livia carried 1 small teapot of tea and four cups in a white melamine tray.

"What a repot, Mom?" quen said he felt bad.

"Just tea, it won't be troublesome." replied Livia and sat down next to Quen.

"Have you been close a long time?"

Tanya Livia starts the conversation when Aditya goes inside.

"New one month, Mom. But, our closeness is no more just limited to students and lecturers. If even more likely Mr. Aditya thinks I'm a friend."

"O, so, huh? You know my son's status?"

Quen looked at Livia seriously.

"My son is a widower, he just got divorced with his wife."

"So you told me, Mom. If I didn't know." Quen looked polite. I feel a little uncomfortable asking questions like this.

"Because you already know, so I'll let you know. You are the second woman that Aditya brought home introduced to us after his ex-wife. And after all these years, only this time did I see Aditya smile without such a burden."

Again Quen just smiled because he did not know what to answer. Get to know emang has been since five months ago, but, their closeness is also only this one month.

"It's time for lunch, son, Quen. Do you eat with us here?"

Suddenly his father Aditya appears from behind a sign separating the living room and the living room.

At the dining table that is not so wide but gives comfort Quen sits face to face with Aditya and Axel. While to his right Aditya's mother and to his left his father.

Secretly the girl smiled looking at the argument between the father and the rampage before her.

"Axel wants chicken, Paaaa!"

The boy continued to shake his head and covered his mouth with both hands.

"Grandma said you had chicken this morning, honey. Now it's time to eat vegetables and fish, okay?"

Aditya kwalahan.

"No way, I want fried chicken!" exclaimed the boy again continued to insist on his stance.

"The chicken feather is not good for your growth, Axel. Eat lots of vegetables and fish!"

Refer Aditya again.

"It's fried chicken, Pa!"

Quen smiled amusedly at the sight. Aditya's half-forced persuasion urges remind him of Alex who forced him to finish his meal. But, at the end of the day he himself spends the rest of the food.

"Axel, did you watch Upin Ipin?" ask Quen.

"Like a big brother. Upin and Ipin his favorite food is fried chicken thighs," the boy replied with a very cheerful twinkle of an eye.

"Oh, so? When have you seen Upin and Ipin?" Quen asked again, relaxed and attentive.

"When did it start? That's a long time, brother. Axel didn't go to school that time."

"Ooo, is that it? Upin and Ipin have been around since Ipin was in elementary school. Until now there is still, brother has entered the faculty lo, so it has passed three years of Junior High School and three years of High School" said Quen.

"Well, is it true that you also like to watch?"

"Yes, I like it very much. But sister does not imitate their lifestyle, merrka wayward and just want fried chicken. You see, from the time he was a kid, he should be the same age as a big brother, but still not grow up and tall anymore, where his head is shaved."

Aditya held back a laugh upon hearing the chatter of Quen and his son, he clenched his right finger and used to cover his mouth.

"mmm yes, brother? Axel used to be a child now even equaling their gedenya, indeed why are they so, brother?" ask Axrl curious.

"They can't grow big and tall because they only eat fried chicken, if Axel doesn't want to be like that, so eat fish and sagut in many other, according to what Grandpa said, Grandma and Papa, okay?" Quen smiled as he showed his right hand which formed a circle from his index finger and thumb.

"Papa, give me lots of vegetables and fish. I don't want fried chicken anymore. I don't want to be short and bald" said the boy innocently.

After eating Quen chatting alone at Axel's playground.

"Axel's in school?"

"Already, brother. I'm now a big zero."

"Well, great, huh?" praise Quen. "at school taught what are the same teacher? Take a look at the book."

Shortly afterwards Axel returned with a few books in his hands. Quen smiled looking at the boy.

Open the book one by one each sheet. He taught Axel very carefully. Starting from reading, counting to know the color, the name of the fruit and vegetable animals.

Until one o'clock, Axel's time to sleep, Quen also helped Axel wash his hands feet and deliver to his room.

"Axel sleeps first, huh? Brother wants to go home." said Quen although actually not heart.

"Sister why are you home? Am I being naughty and disobedient to you?" the boy's whine objected.

"No, Honey. You're a good and obedient boy. But, you have to go home, tomorrow you'll play here again if you have time, how?"

The boy did not reply other than holding tightly onto Quen's right wrist.

"How about I read the story first, if you go to bed you'll come home. I promise if you're not busy, you'll come play with you again.ok?" persuade Quen.

"All right! But, brother has to promise!"

"Yes, Axel's big brother promised.
