Toronto, Canada

"So?" The Japanese youth asked curiously, looking at his lover with a look of supplication.

"Positive" said the woman who had just come out of the bathroom hoarsely, ready to cry. His body was limp as soon as the flat object in his hand showed results they did not expect.

They had just broken up, but the misfortune still seemed to be on the side of the two.

" Kusso!" Hiss the young man slowly. (Damn).

"Kenji-hiks,"

The young man called Kenji kicked the nightstand in annoyance, venting his anger. Then a long time of silence fell, before the cry held captive the woman became a powerful sobbing that broke the heart.

"Are we getting married?"

"Married? " Tanya Kenji couldn't believe it, "We just broke up Nana Chan, "Kenji's jolt is inexhaustible.

"But I'm pregnant!!!"

Kenji fell silent again, the young man of Japanese blood looked frustrated, "Nana-Gomen" (Maf Nana)

"Why hicks?"

"I Really can't Na, I'm not interested in marriage." The Japanese youth said regretfully. And after that sentence was spoken, the sound of fragments of expensive perfume echoed against the wall.

"You-After I'm in this position you dare say that you have no interest in marriage huh, hix"

"Well, I really can't

"Evil, you're evil"

"Nana-chan, gomen (Sorry)" Whispered Kenji flat, 

"Hiks, so how? My college? I still want to go to college, my father will be angry if he knows this problem" Tangis Nana heartbroken.

"We're dead" Kenji said firmly.

"But-but

"You're still going to college, right?" Cut Kenji impatiently.

Nana blinked, before nodding confidently. He didn't want to suffer just because this damn baby was in his stomach. If her ex-boyfriend easily refuses her pregnancy, then she can do the same.

***

"Nana, don't be childish!" Kenji snapped when Nana ran away from the clinic house where they were going to have an abortion.

"Karena Tanaka!" Kenji yanked Nana's hand, who was still trying to escape.

"No, no Kenji, no. You want me to die like a girl? you want me to bleed like that woman huh, no Kenji, no torment, I want to go home, I want to go home. Please" Nana pleaded, the woman's body falling down her shaking horn. He hugged Kenji's leg, begging to deny their intentions when he saw the blood and screams of the abortion women inside.

They are desperate to have an abortion, but because they are both foreigners and look out for their parents' connections in Japan, they choose illegal clinics away from their campuses and apartments.

"Kenji hiks, I beg you, please Kenji, I'm afraid of the torch"

Kenji rubbed his face, then came down and kissed the temple of his former lover. I can't bear the cry of her ex-boyfriend.

Silently, the young man carried Nana's frail body in his car, taking her home to the apartment with much thought and wiles in his head.

****

"So you want how, it's been 3 months Na, your stomach is getting bigger. The campus will also know for a long time." Kenji snapped when Nana again refused an abortion.

It's been three months since they found out about Nana's pregnancy, and there's nothing they can do but fight, blame and judge each other. And during that time they choose to maintain the content because Nana who is still afraid and will be hysterical if brought to the clinic.

"Keep me how! Do I have to resign when I squirm with my own eyes how the doctors are full of blood huh, you have Ken? You can have me die like a girl back then" cried Nana again. His body trembled as he recalled how the woman of the same fate with him had finally died and became the cry of his lover.

"Yes how is it? Minun pill you do not want, he said the pain is getting worse, to your clinic like that." Pissed Kenji.

"For a long time I was sick of you Na, if you really want to defend the baby, then there is a defense. But don't take me in front of him" Kenji threatened to leave.

"Kenji hiks, yes, yes, I want an abortion, "A frightened Nana immediately hugged Kenji's leg, pleading. He can't solve his own problems.

"Yaudah, go to the clinic again huh" Kenji said back down, hugging Nana expectantly.

Nana shook her head, "To the official hospital yes"

Kenji sighed harshly, "Hospital you said? We surrender to our stupid parents. His medical record will continue in the hospital later. Our tracks will also be visible. I'm not that good at volunteering with my parents" Kenji said, trying to explain, however, that both of their parents were influential people in Japan. Even though they are currently in Canada under the pretext of college. Their parents can still know later. As smart as they cover.

Nana was glued, she thought hard.

"Kenji"

"Yes"

"I'm going to have this child,"

"You're crazy huh-huh

"I'm going to take a college break, and after giving birth. We just dumped this kid in an orphanage. Yep. You want to" said Nana. "I promise, I won't bother you again later, after this matter is over"

Kenji was silent for quite a while, "As far as you are" he said at last.

***

"You sure don't want to see or kiss this kid first, Ken, he's a boy" Nana said, hugging the baby. She has just given birth in her apartment with the help of an obstetrician who was contracted with Kenji during Nana's pregnancy.

"I see" said Kenji flatly, reluctant to care.

"She looks like you, she's handsome"

"Karenina Tanaka"

"Hiks, one week Ken, I'll keep him for a week, at least let him be strong later"

"KARENIN!!!"

"hiks, i-iya, T-but you sure want to dump him. He's a very young Ken"

"Nana, don't childish. That was your promise first"

Nana cried loudly, she hugged the tiny baby who was still feeding on her tightly.

"Kenji"

"Na-don't be gini baby, he doesn't have the same expectations as our parents"

Nana nodded, still crying. "Kenji"

"Hm"

"You don't want to give him a name. I beg you" Isak Nana was sad.

Kenji rubbed his face, then looked at the red baby who was still nursing it blankly.

"Hm, I beg you. You're his douche, you're entitled to love him's name."

"Alzeos"

"What?"

"His name is Alzeo, Alzeo immanuel." Kenji said sure.

"Without Takahashi behind her" Tanya Nana trembled, her son was born without his father's surname. Nana's heart hurts amazing.

"Without Takahashi behind him" said Kenji confidently.

And that very afternoon, the tiny baby named Alzeo Immanuel felt the cold of his first winter in front of the orphanage. With the cry of the mother who continued to accompany him.

*****

A year after that, Madame Takahashi came to the orphanage with an angry face. Taking custody of his granddaughter after he heard the confession of Nana, his son's former lover who at that time came to cancel Kenji's marriage with his other lover.

Tanaka's daughter yells that Kenji already has a child with her, leaving her after she is severely depressed due to guilt on her little baby.

At just 12 months of age, Alzeo Immanuel officially bears the name Takahashi behind his name. Even without his father's consent.

***

At the age of five, Zeo's parents were married. They got back together at the coercion of both sides of the family because the ex-lovers had embarrassed his family name. Kenji's name has been labeled bad because of the failure of his marriage, while Nana gets family discrimination because even in Japan, his family is still bloody Indonesia which leads to the high end of eastern culture.

But even so, little Zeo still lives with his grandmother. In Japan. Without her parents who after marriage choose to move back to Canada. Leaving him in solitude, Leaving him who was then roaring after his parents' car as the two continue to blame Zeo for their marriage.

Little Zeo was always wondering, why the okaasan and his otousan ignored him. But always met with hateful glances by both.

From then on, Zeo kept quiet.

****

In the two years of his parents' marriage, Zeo got two younger sisters from both parents. His names are Alzea and Alzee. Almost the same name as him. Fate too.

Because after the birth of her twin sister, her parents heard great in front of her eyes. Otousin's cheating. Okaasan her severe depression. Therefore, eventually the two twins were handed over to Grandma Zeo. Being taken care of as hard as Grandma took care of Zeo.

Then three years later, his parents were back together, aware of their sin. But he was unable to change Zeo's hatred for his parents.

Plus, after being together, his parents did not try to approach him and his sisters. They just moved to Indonesia. Again, he left his children. Leaving his responsibility.

Zeo did not know why, but in his High School, his otous asked him to come and attend school in Indonesia, because Zeo was tired of being pressured by Grandma and her grandfather, Zeo also agreed.

And their relationship is more rigid because they force a smile over hatred.

Zeo has a bad relationship with his parents. And Zeo, not wanting to when he grows up, the cycle of hatred flows to his children.

Zeo doesn't want to repeat the past.

Therefore, he forced Adhira with him. For their children's sake.

And because of that too, today, Zeo steadied his pace. He will return to Adhira after he receives a message from his father-in-law that Adhira is down and needs him. Zeo didn't want to be looked at as cowardly as he looked at his father.

"You still choose to go?" Kenji asked as Zeo stepped out of the house that night. Ah, yes, Zeo took a midnight flight because he didn't want the housewives to know.

But it seems his plan failed when his father crossed his chest near the gate of the house arrogantly.

"I chose to go home, not go." The cold Zeo fizz.

"This is your house"

"Adhira my home"

"Immanuel Takahashi"

"Without Takahashi"

"Eye"

"Then, Otousan himself said. My name is without Takahashi behind it"

Kenji was silent.

"I used to cry because I was torn apart by my Maths book just because I made Takahashi's surname on the cover. Though that day, I only asked to correct the task, but apparently that corrected my name" Zeo laughed softly.

"And do you know, I've chased your car that went to Canada until my leg sprained. Crying alone on the streets, WHAT OTOUSAN TAU HAH, DO YOU KNOW!?" Zeo faced his papa, his eyes full of hatred.

"I asked the same author, once we communicate like father and son, "Said Zeo swallowed.

"You are my son"

" Yes, I am your son, the son whom you make the foundation of your hatred of the world."

"Alzeos"

"Have you ever come to school to pick up a report card or fulfill my sensei call?" Ask Zeo suddenly.

"Alzeo-kun"

"Have you ever taken Otousan to take me for a walk, or a vacation for example on my summer vacation, hm?"

"Have you ever had a hug and a passion for me when I was about to die from martial arts!"

"Did Otousan ever come and defend me when I was examined by business science with Obaachan and Ojiichan? Ever been?"

"No, right?"

"It never did for Zeo and Zeo's sisters, did it?"

"Which Otousan knows, Otousan must keep running - and run away like a coward. Don't want to know and don't care"

"Ze

"And if Otousan cannot love what Otousan should love Zeo and Zeo's sisters, please, this time Zeo asked Otousan for help. Don't stop Zeo from making the love that Zeo is supposed to give Zeo's children"

Kenji froze, he made no sound at all.

Zeo retreated, "Zeo's home, Otousan"

And for the first time, Kenji lamented his dark youth.

Sensei: teacher.

Oi-oiiii, spit also yes through likenya. It dong, it's the spirit of wkwkwk.

So how the same chapter, answered, why did Zeo used to say the same three friends if he wanted to maintain his marriage.

Why does a little Zeo have to be like his son.

Why did Zeo try so hard to be someone who deserves to be seen as not a coward. Hm? You know why he used to say that he didn't want to repeat the same history...

About side strory who else would you like to know?
