Happy Ending's
Chapter 44: Why I Care

"Darling's? Have you finished your room?" shouted a woman who was cooking for her family dinner. Although today she has just moved to Paris, Keyla decided to prepare her own meals. In addition, two of his liver is not used to eating junk food. Not only is it unhealthy because it contains too much protein and sugar, but since childhood Keyla did get used to them eating home-cooked foods themselves.

"In a moment, Ma," replied Awan from inside his room while tidying up the books on the table.

"If it's done, please help Mama lift some things that are outside the door, yes. Not heavy, really. Some dolls belong to your sister."

"All right."

While Keyla is busy cooking, she forgets that the door to her apartment is still open. He also forgets that the Star is a child who cannot be silent and always wants to find out what is around him.

Bruk!! The star hit someone and accidentally spilled ice cream on his dark blue shoes.

"Hey, careful, dong! Where are your parents?" said the blond girl grumbling.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." The star bowed while apologizing.

"Just apologize. Tauk expensive shoes?!"

Seeing the little girl a little scared, Darrel spoke. "Here you go, he's just a kid. No need to exaggerate."

"Hummmmphi! You're more defending that kid than I am!" Fleur could not hide his frustration that the shoes had only been bought last week. The girl left first and quickly got into the elevator.

Darrel could only waste his breath. That girl is still in her twenties. So it is only natural if it is childish.

"I'm sorry." Once again Bintang apologized when Fleur was no longer in the corridor of the apartment.

"It's okay. What's yourname?" Darrel crouched down so the girl wouldn't have to look up when she spoke.

"My name is Star" he answered kindly.

The star? What a pretty name. Think Darrel. Her face was beautiful and her eyes were shining. It was like he had seen that face before.

"Where's your house? Let Om interven."

"1001." The star points to the most end of the apartment. Close to the elevator.

"Let's go back." Darrel raised the body of the Star and the four-year-old girl did not reject it. He was not afraid or suspicious. In fact, his mother often advised never to talk to strangers. Don't be invited by strangers. Refuse if given food or toys.

Tok ... tok ...

Darrel knocks on Keyla's open door. Hearing a guest, Keyla turned off the stove and ran to the door.

Antoninus? Keyla looked at the man standing in front of the door with his mouth agape. His face was tense and his legs were like they were trembling slightly. At first glance he felt he had seen the undead.

"Hey, honey ... Where have you been?" keyla asked a little confused.

"Walk!" he answered and the girl ran towards the Cloud room that had not finished cleaning the room. He still puts his clothes in the closet.

"Sorry interfering. The door was open. Maybe that's why the stars are walking outside." Darrel's voice roused Keyla from the daydream.

That voice, that face, his eyes, his body, he was exactly like Antonius. Have I been dreaming? But, that can't be Antony. He has died.

"Mmm .. thank you so much for bringing the Stars. I'm cooking for dinner. Will you join us?" keyla said a little awkward because she felt faced with the person she loved and her ex-husband.

"No, thank you. I still have an event" Darrel replied, then in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of the thirty-five-year-old woman.

"Who's Ma coming?" The clouds asked out of curiosity. He just finished his closet.

"Ep? Only neighbors. Your sister walked alone because the door was open."

"Is he a man?" tanya Cloud probed with a worried face. After his father died, he was the only man in his family. Although only nine years old, Awan has a mindset that is more mature than children his age.

The clouds lifted his sister's toy outside the apartment, then closed the door without having to lock it because it was automatically locked. "Next time don't let a foreign man into the house. We don't know if he has bad intentions or not. Remember that your mother is a woman."

Keyla just assented. He did not know exactly when his son had become so critical. He remembers when Cloud was the age of a Star, she was so cute, innocent, and her behavior was always adorable. But the other day the boy's getting annoying. Not much to say but once spoken directly make greget.

"After eating, you call your grandfather, yes," Keyla told the Clouds and Stars who were chewing chickpeas and salmon in their mouths. Fortunately the apartment was very close to the supermarket, lived down and then crossed the street.

"Whose grandfather, Ma?" ask the stars innocently.

"Three, baby. Mama told me that after dinner you'd call them."

"Where have you gone? Why so long?" fleur's protest has been waiting for Darrel, his girlfriend.

"Taking the kid home." Darrel got in the car and drove him to a hotel where the event took place.

"There's no need to be kind to a kid like that. Look what he's done to my shoes!"

"I can buy you another hundred pairs if you want. Now stop talking."

Darrel looks so cold. Unlike usual who always succumbed to Fleur.

Hmpph!! Watch out you little boy. If I see you again, I'll pinch your ass! Because of you Darrel was cold to me!
