Happy Ending's
Chapter 47: Want to avoid me?

Early in the morning Keyla went to the supermarket near her apartment. Since the supermarket was open 24 hours, she did not need to store too many groceries in the refrigerator.

Upon entering the modern market, Keyla glued the jacket she wore. Perhaps because she was over thirty years old and had given birth to two children, she could no longer stand air-conditioned rooms.

Keyla picked up a yellow shopping cart located in the corner, near the entrance. The first storefront he visited was a vegetable place. He took some spinach ties, fresh shitake mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, and also peppers. After that Keyla went to the fresh meat place. Take the chicken breast and also the reddish orange-colored salmon that has just been cut by the butcher.

Today is Cloud's birthday, he does not intend to celebrate because the Clouds no longer celebrate such things. He doesn't like crowds. I also don't like meeting a lot of people. The young man who is now growing up prefers to spend time in his room. Read a book, play a game, or play with the Star, his beloved sister.

After shopping, Keyla walked slowly to the cashier and lined up. After waiting for a few minutes, it was his turn to pay.

"Please just put it here," he asked the cashier while giving his bag that could be folded. I don't know how long Keyla's been using a bag made from parachutes. In addition to strong and fit a lot of groceries, the shape is also stylish because there are colorful pictures of flowers. He knew that what he was doing was not necessarily able to reduce the effects of climate change, but at the very least, this was all he could do to suppress plastic use.

After making the payment, Keyla came out of the supermarket area and her eyes were suddenly drawn to a small cat-shaped chocolate cake on display in a glass display case.

"I want to buy this one" Keyla told the cake shop counter guard in the open area. It is located right in front of the supermarket exit.

After making the payment, Keyla was about to walk back. But baby, when he turned around someone hit him from behind and the cake he just bought fell on the floor. Although not to be destroyed, but the shape is not funny anymore because the butter cream is attached to the lid made of plastic.

"Hey!" Keyla tried to call the man who hit her earlier. He escaped not even apologizing. Yeah that's it. Keyla thought limp. He'll tidy it up a little when he gets to the apartment.

"Mama!" The star ran when it saw Keyla entering the house.

"Hi, honey. Are you awake?" Keyla kissed her daughter's forehead. "Please bring this, baby. Put it in the refrigerator," he said again, giving a plastic bag filled with cake to Bintang.

"Why don't you wake me up if you want to go shopping, Ma?" The sound of clouds came from the room.

"Oh, are you awake, baby? Comeoverhere. Let me hug you," Keyla pinta anxiously. The clouds came out of the room, approaching her mother but just as Keyla was about to hug her, the young man stopped with his hand.

"Don't childish. Mama shouldn't have hugged me." The clouds said as they snatched the grocery bag from Keyla's hand. And the woman could only be silent to see the behavior of her son who was getting further and further away from her.

"Darling ... My heart hurts so much I can't hug my own son." Keyla pretended to be sad as if she was heartbroken by the rejection of the man she loved.

"Darling? Did you hear me talk?" said Keyla again put herself on the sofa and then check the laptop on the desk.

"Darling? Do you ignore me now?" ask Keyla groped. The clouds don't care. He put freshly bought vegetables and fish into the refrigerator.

"Sister?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm hungry." The star looked at her brother with a glare. In fact, when he woke up, Awan had made him a cup of toast with strawberry jam filling.

The clouds grabbed the fresh milk at the refrigerator door and poured it into a glass. He then gave it to the Star, "Drink while sitting down. Don't stand. Okay?"

Without saying a word the Star walked towards Keyla who was sitting. He smiled at the star carrying chocolate milk in his hand. "Binbin, Mama is so jealous of you. Your sister treats you like a princess. But with me we're like enemies." Keyla spoke loudly so that the Clouds who were still in the kitchen heard him.

"Because Binbin is prettier than Mama," replied the Star with brown milk that littered the corners of her lips.

"Haha. Really true?! My mom is getting old. That's why your brother ignored me."

"Mama take it easy. There will be me."

"Stop acting like a kid" said Clouds flatly and placed a glass of orange juice in front of Keyla.

"Is this for me?" his god on the Clouds always looks flat both nature and face. He rarely smiles, let alone laugh. If his interlocutors were people who didn't know him well, they would have been irritated by him.

"Thank you, I'm aaaang" Keyla continued with a smile as Clouds walked into her room.

"Sister is the best sister in the world!" the Star put an empty glass on the table.

"really?" now the Star seat is no longer on the sofa. Except in my mom's lap. Keyla smelled the brownish Star's hair. Fragrant. Typical baby shampoo.

"Hmmm. Binbin wet the bed and cried. Big brother immediately got up and changed the bed linen, kept washing it."

"Binbin is so lucky to have such a good brother!" Keyla hugged the Stars tightly and did not feel her tears falling and she hurriedly wiped them.

Since the Stars began to crawl, the Clouds are no longer like other children. He learned to do his own homework. When not studying, the clouds will help Grandma sweep or help grandfather mow the lawn in the yard. When her sister cries at night, she will accompany Keyla to suckle her until the stars fall asleep again.

"Binbin was also lucky to have a Mama!"

Hearing that, Keyla wanted to cry and hug her two hearts. Now, they're the only purpose of his life. The filler of his lonely days and stress-relief as he yearns for a place to lean.

Tok ... tok ....

The sound of someone knocking on the door. Keyla got up from the chair and opened the door slowly. A courier was standing at the door. Bring a bouquet of roses and also a box of cakes with a size of 23 cm.

"Mrs. Keyla?" ask a courier dressed in orange who at first glance reminds Keyla of the uniform of an Indonesian post office courier.

"true."

"Please sign here" he said, pointing to the phone's screen for Keyla to sign.

"I don't feel like ordering this." Keyla. Refusing to accept and sign proofs.

"Sorry, Mrs. Keylas. I'm just in charge of dropping off."

As soon as the courier left, Keyla brought the bouquet and the cake in and put it on the table. "Cantiiikk ..," said Bintang and stopped drawing when he saw the red rose bouquet. He sniffed the fresh and fragrant scent of the rose. "Is this from Mama's lover?"

Keyla was struck by her son's question? Who taught him the words 'to ka anyway'?

He opened the card on the cake box, where it said "Happy Birthday, Cloud."

"Honey, come here!" his orders were on the Clouds with a bit of panic.

"What's up, Ma?" asked Awan while sitting on the sofa.

"Read, baby. It's meant for you."

Cloud opened. The card was intended for him. And this isn't the first time. Every day the Clouds and Stars, there will always be a mysterious gift. If that happens when they live in Indonesia, then Keyla is not confused. But, this is in Paris! They have no relatives or relations in this country of more than two million people.

"Dispose of the cake!" said Cold cloud.

"It's food, baby. We can't throw it away. Quickly get a match in the drawer and we cut the cake."

The clouds are moving towards the kitchen. Take a match, two small plates and also a fork. While Keyla and the spirit star set the candles one after another.

"Let's blow out the candle, baby," he asked the Clouds.

"Binbin, blow out the candles." The clouds asked the stars to blow the candles.

Without ba bi bu, the Star blew out the colorful candle and instantly, the flaming flames were extinguished. Not to forget also a little spit from the Star will make the cake taste softer . Afterwards, slowly the little girl who wore a purple polka-dot skirt prayed. Prayers for my brother, mother and father.

"Darling, eat the cake." Keyla told the clouds. Although he was reluctant to open his mouth, Keyla's gaze was intimidating as if it could not be rejected by his son.

"Happy birthday, sister." The star shows the picture book. Cloud painting holding the Star in the left hand and Keyla holding the right hand.

"Thank you, my sister."

"Sister likes?"

"This is very good. I'll put it on the wall of the room."

"Let me help you." The star pulled her brother's hand into the room and left their envious mama looking at the sisters' affection. Keyla felt invisible and considered non-existent.

Keyla .. You have to get ready to be a lonely old woman. Soon your children will grow up and leave you.

_________🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁________

Darrel looked at the mirror in front of him. Closing her eyes and imagining someone she loves hugging her tightly. Oh, how almost crazy he was made. Years passed, the woman could still arouse passion even if just by imagining it.

The doorbell of his apartment sounded. He immediately walked over and opened the door without even seeing on the monitor who was coming. But deep in his heart, he hoped that not to let the one at his doorstep was Fleur.

When he opened the door, it turned out, Keyla. The woman stood with a plate of cake complete with a fork.

"Hi, I'm sorry to bother you. My son is having a birthday today."

"Oh, thank you. Come inside."

When entering Darrel's house, Verga looked around. The design of the apartment was like no stranger to him. Wall paint is white, furniture that is made of wood and looks classic, especially books on the shelf. Neat and inexplicably her mind was immediately fixed on one person. Antoninus. Keyla shook her head. That's not possible! Antonius is dead and he saw his body in the hospital himself! And about the exact same Darrel face, probably just a coincidence.

"Sit down." Darrel. He wiped his sweaty body using a towel. He had just finished exercising when Keyla arrived. And he was only wearing shorts at the moment.

"Am I bothering you?" asked Keyla who was secretly watching Darrel. He put the piece of cake in front of the man whose skin was slightly brown and looked .. ummm ... how would ya describe it? sexy's?!

"If you're being honest, you're really bothering me."

Jem! Those words were piercing right in Keyla's heart. She did not expect her new neighbor to be so forthright. Between embarrassment and annoyance, Keyla ventured to speak. " Hehehe .. Before I bother you any further, have lunch with us. I told the kids you were coming."

"A birthday is your child. I have no obligation to celebrate."

Aharggghh!!! I want Keyla to scream! Throw the cake into Darrel's face that looks irritating! His manner of speech was gentle, pitchedless, but somehow every sentence that came out of his mouth contained a sharp weapon!

"You're absolutely right. Hehe ... Then I'll go home."

Keyla got up from the couch and her mouth was kamit like a witch doctor reciting a spell" Hhmpph! Handsome looking, so arrogant! The one who's your wife must be the unluckiest woman in the world!"

"Are you talking about me?" ask Darrel who followed Keyla from behind.

"Ah, no. I'm just memorizing some of the drama scenes I've been watching a lot."

"Oh. No wonder you're as stupid as the characters in the drama."

"What?" Keyla turned. He looked up to see the face of the man who said he was stupid.

"It's okay. I'm just talking about reality." Darrell answered casually.

"If I'm a stupid woman, do you think you're a smart man?" Keyla. He doesn't want to lose.

Humphs! Don't be so handsome, I'll give up on you, yeah!

"Thank you for praising me" Darrel replied with a smile.

"I don't praise you!" reply Keyla while biting Darrel's chest in the center of the brownish color very hard. The man cried out in pain and Keyla took out a thousand steps. Quickly he ran into the house and locked the door!
