"Mother and child are both cold and flat" Deon muttered lightly imagining Qanaya's flat and cold face as she spoke.
"Deon why you've been here so long, Gerald's been waiting for us all day" Nick said so relieved when he saw Deon coming, he was so tense because of Gerald's mood that seemed not good.
"i'm sorry, I had a little business" Deon said, then walked with Nick to Gerald's room, which was waiting for them to meet the three of them.
but just now they entered the cold directly into the bones made both of them creep and became very afraid because they knew that such an atmosphere must be Gerald was angry.
"why come so long?"gerald asked around in his oversized chair looking at his two subordinates.
"sorry Mr. Gerald I had a little business so it's a little late" Deon replied.
"really?what business?"tanya Gerald looked annoyed with Deon.
Deon frowned, it's not usual for Gerald to ask until asking like it's too late with even longer time, "just a little business is nothing sir" he said again.
"I don't like time-disciplined employees, if you're late again I'll cut your pay 15 percent" Gerald spoke so seriously and decisively.
Deon and Nick look at each other asking what makes Gerald's mood is not good now, whereas his mood during coming to the country is always good.
"Okay sir" said Deon did not want to linger anymore otherwise his salary would be cut even more, then sat in front of Gerald opposite the table.
Nick also sat down next to Deon and felt so depressed.
***
to the next day as usual Gea went to campus leaving his mother with Windi.
He walked to the front of the alley to wait for the taxi he had booked.
but when he got to the front of the alley he did not find a taxi but a luxury car parked there, "maybe soon"he thought he was standing there waiting while sending a message back to the taxi driver, which was usually his order.
"Aren't you waiting for a taxi?"asked the man who got off the luxury car with his Baritone voice.
Gea was surprised and immediately saw the man who spoke to her, "be. right" she replied, watching the face of the man wearing the hat and wearing the mask.
"Then why are you still here?"the tan is so cold.
Gea was stunned to hear her,he saw the man's clothes from top to bottom not at all look like a taxi driver let alone with his tall body that is athletic and bright-skinned unlike taxi drivers usually in addition to his car it looks more and more impossible.
"Akh may not be my order" he said walking a little away worried that the man had malicious intentions.
"from now on I'm your private taxi driver, I'm the son of the taxi you always order" he said still so flat and cold without showing his face.
Gea was still in disbelief until a message from her taxi subscription said the same thing as the man in front of her.
The man seemed so relaxed getting into his car that Gea was so confident getting into his car.
Although a little doubt Gea finally decided to enter, color if you order another Taxi will not have time again so he was forced to get into the car.
but he had just opened the door behind the man stopping him, "Sitting in front"he told him in an indisputable tone.
Gea was confused as to why there was such a taxi driver, but because she did not want to take much longer she immediately opened the door in front sitting next to the man.
the handsome-looking man behind the mask smiled faintly as Gea sat down beside him and looked so worried and doubtful yet still walked in.
"whose name are you?"the question was not to make Gea look so tense.
"Gea" she replied slightly turning to the man with a small smile.
"How old are you"
"eighteen years old"
Hearing Gea's age the man seemed speechless, "Still 18?still so young" his murmured slightly sighing.
because the distance of the campus is not so far away, so the trip is so short that Gea has arrived and quickly wants to go down, he put his taxi money, "already arrived, Thank you very much" said Gea.
the man was confused why it got so fast that he immediately brake suddenly, but he was more surprised when Gea put the pennies in front of him.
Gea turned towards him, "what's the matter?"ask her a little surprised.
"What's this?"asked the masked man to show the money.
Gea tilted her head a little confused, "that's a payment because I've been riding this taxi" she said hesitantly because she saw the man's gaze that looked at the money so strangely.
The masked man laughed loudly, did anyone pay for his expensive car ride so cheaply?that's right.
Gea removed her arm from the man's check and immediately closed the door and left.
The man opened the mask and his hat showed his almost perfect handsome face, He laughed at the money but then put it in his pocket and looked outside looking at Gea who was walking so fast.
"really an attractive girl", muttered her with a slanted smile then drove away.
"really a strange man" Gea muttered lightly as he continued walking quickly.
...
Windi who was about to sweep the courtyard was slightly surprised when he saw Jonathan in front of their house."Uncle?"he said he made the man smile by nodding.
"Is your mother home?"tanyakanya.
"yes, the mother is inside I'll call her" she replied.
"thank you" Jonathan said before Windi came in.
not long after, Windi came out to bring out his mother.
Qanaya is surprised to see Jonathan at his house.
"does he want to meet me?"qanaya asked Windi to make Windi nod.
"sure ma'am, I'm going in" Windi said, not wanting to interrupt the conversation.
"Qanaya..."
"go, I don't accept guests" said Qanaya firmly before Jonathan finished his speech.
"Qanaya I beg you to give me a chance to speak" Jonathan said in a heartfelt and pleading tone.
"there's nothing to talk about between us honorable master Jonathan Wilson" he said, pressing down on his every utterance and his unblinking eyes.
"Qanaya I beg you, this is about Gea!"jonathan said no longer want to give up just like that.
qanaya's gaze instantly sharpened,"go!!there's nothing between us and there's no bond either Gea, though" said Qanaya, so angry.
"Qanaya don't be selfish!are you going to let Gea stay in a place like this!!he had a father who could give him a better place" Jonathan said with ease.
it certainly made the blood of Qanaya boil.
the plaque!!!
a loud slap landed directly on Jonathan's face.
"Shut your mouth Jonathan!!you yourself are abusing me and don't want to take responsibility when I hold you accountable when I say I'm pregnant!!"Said Qanaya with a trembling body because she was so angry when she brought it up.
"but I..."
"you do want to be responsible but you're humbling me!!!you're a fucking guy!you ruined my life and ruined my whole life!!you treated me by asking me to be a mistress?hah"Qanaya laughed in disbelief.
"now you come and talk about my son?you're insane!!don't let me see you again or I'll kill you!!"Qanaya who is now covered in anger and resentment sad and hateful will not hesitate to kill anyone because he has lost his mind more precisely crazy.
"I'm sorry, Qanaya, I swear I really loved you and wanted to take responsibility at the time but my circumstances were not good and I was forced to marry by my parents' choice",jonathan tried to explain and give understanding to Qanaya hoping he could understand.
"I know and I wish you knew!!!if at that moment I decide
