Happy Ending's
Chapter 48: Jealousy?

Darrel still feels pain from Keyla's bite. He did not expect that the woman had sharp teeth as sharp as the thorns of roses that were ready to hit the hands of anyone who tried to pluck them.

There was a red stain on his chest. Darrel touched and his mind raged. If only the woman had not run away, she would not have let go even though Keyla thrashed even if she begged for mercy and prostrated herself at her feet.

Darrel's blood seemed to be pumped quickly and his body heated up even though the water from the shower soaked his entire body. The man's blood seemed to flow rapidly and filled his copora cavernosa. He could not even remember the last time he used his weapon to fight on the battlefield until he was helpless. The women who slept with her all this time were only looking for their own pleasure. None of them were challenging, much less did they survive more than one night together.

The man wiped his wet body using a towel then dried his hair with a hair dryer and put on the clothes he had prepared on the mattress.

Keyla is cooking in the kitchen. While the Clouds and Stars prepare dishes and dinnerware at the table.

"Darling, please bring this to the table." The clouds immediately approached Keyla and raised a bowl of spinach soup with sweet corn and returned again to the kitchen to pick up grilled chicken and salmon grills. "Why cook so much, Ma?" tanya The curious cloud.

"You don't forget, you invited the neighbors to eat together" he replied casually. Though Darrel says he won't come, somehow his heart tells him that he will fulfill Keyla's wish.

"Mama! I want to help too!" The star approached Keyla with her lips turned red in annoyance not to be told to like her sister.

"If Binbin wants to help, please put this back in the refrigerator, yes." Keyla pointed to the rest of the corn kernel she kept inside the airtight box. In the spirit of the Star put it in the refrigerator and after it was done, he returned to the dining table and sat down in his chair.

"Honey, please open the door," he said as soon as he heard the sound of people knocking on the door. "Is that the neighbor?" keyla thought to herself. But, whoever it is hopefully not that girl named Fleur. Thought Keyla worried. He does not want on his son's birthday there are people who suddenly ruin the atmosphere. Although the Clouds themselves do not consider it an important day, for Keyla still today is a historic day. Where his baby was born. Where he struggled without the affection of a husband beside him. Even though James was with her, she still wished that she was her husband. Stevan Anthony.

The door is open. A tall man in neat clothes stood at the door. "Happy birthday, Awan" he said, giving a book to the nine-year-old.

Cloud's eyes could not escape looking at Darrel's face. "Papa?" the Cloud seemed unsure of what he saw. His tongue is mute, and his feet cannot be moved. Could it be that the one standing in front of him was his papa? "No way, Papa. I saw Papa die in the hospital. If they are similar, why are they identical? The face, body, eyes, even the voice were the same." The clouds were unceasingly asking themselves. Convinced that the man was not his papa. Especially ghosts. The clouds do not believe in mystical things such as ghosts let alone reincarnation.

"Who's coming, baby?" keyla shouted as she still saw her son standing at the door and not allowing guests to enter.

Out of curiosity, the Star came down from the chair and caught up with her brother. "Of!" he shouted as he saw Darrel.

"You know him, Bin?" The clouds asked in wonder.

"Yes. He once drove me home" replied the Star, then pulled Darrel's hand toward a meal.

"Sit, Om. Mama cooked a lot today."

"Thank you, beautiful," she replied and sat down next to the Star. While Clouds, still pensive while holding a book.

"Darling, this is what Mom meant. He's our new neighbor."

Mom's voice woke up the clouds and she returned to her seat.

"Thank you for the card" said Awan briefly and stared fixedly at the eyes of the man sitting right in front of him.

"Together," Darrel replied with a sincere smile.

"Eh, how do you know the Clouds are birthdays, anyway? I didn't say he was having a birthday. Hmmmm...really suspicious. Besides, how do you know my son's name? I never mention it before." Keyla replied with a contorted tone.

"I'm just guessing it."

"Your guess is very precise. Are you a fortune teller? Haha?"

Hearing his mama's words, Clouds had a bad premonition. Although her parents were no longer girls in their twenties, she was sometimes childish and strange.

"Mama, what's that fortune teller?" sahut Bintang with a sense of curiosity.

"Hmmm ... What, huh?" Keyla was confused on how to explain it. He tried to find the right words so that the Star could understand what he was saying.

"The astrologer is a person whose mental science is very strong. So, even if there is a demon that incarnates into the figure of the person we know, the fortune teller will not be fooled by the demon." Keyla explained excitedly while glancing at Darrel but the Star was even more confused. While the Clouds snorted loudly. My hunch never misses!

"Mama. Let's start eating" said Awan.

"yes too. Let's eat" said Keyla who just finished making sapo tofu specifically for Darrel.

When she was about to take the soup, Keyla prevented Darrel. "Wait on! Since you are our special guest, I prepared a special meal for you." Keyla put a bowl of tofu sapo in front of Darrel. "Please eat" she continued with a smile like a wife who had just gotten a ration from her husband.

"Darling, why are you eating so little?" keyla asked the Stars who only ate spinach.

"I'm full of cake."

"Oh, yeah. How does the neighbor feel? Do you like my tofu sapo?" ask Keyla curiously. He wanted to know the man's answer.

"Nob." Darrel answered briefly without looking at Keyla and focused on the bowl in front of her.

Tastier? Until when do you pretend to be someone else, Antony? Don't you know how much salt I put in your food? Normal people won't be able to eat it the way you do. The one in your bowl is not food. Except the sea of salt.

"Good then. Continue eating." Keyla smiled bitterly. Between happy, angry and disappointed.

Moments before Keyla to Darrel's house .....

Keyla punched the number on the cardboard of the chocolate cake she had just sent for her. "Hello, I'm Admiral Keyla, someone just sent a cake and it's from the Viola store, may I know who the sender is? All right, I'll wait a minute. Darrell Douglas? Fine ... good. Accept it still."

After contacting the bakery, Keyla knocked on the door of Cloud's room.

"Lake in."

Keyla went into Cloud's room and immediately sat down on the edge of the bed. While Awan is busy reading the Detective Conan comic series.

"What's up, Ma?" ask the cloud without stopping reading.

"What if your dad's alive, baby?" Keyla answered straight to the point. He knew very well that his son did not like long-winded talk.

"Which papa?" ask the clouds again. Focus on the comic in his hand.

"Your birth father."

"That's good. Mama won't be lonely anymore."

Hufft. Keyla did not expect that her son's reaction would be that relaxed. It was as if it did not matter if his papa who had been declared dead suddenly came back to life.

"Hmmmmm. The clouds don't mind if Mama gets married again."

"Heewww. What's that word?"

"It's okay."

"Huuff. You look so much like your dad. Oh, ja. Your grandparents have arrived at the airport. After the hotel, they'll be here. You and the stars go with them."

________🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼_______

When she heard the sound of people knocking on the door, Keyla got up from the chair. "It's like your grandparents have come, baby," Keyla said in a satirical tone. While Darrel pretended not to hear and tried to calm himself because he was being watched by a pair of eyes in front of him.

"Hi, dear ...," said Sabrina, Keyla's former in-law.

"How are you, Ma? Comein. We're having lunch."

"Good, baby." Sabrina hugged and kissed Keyla's cheek which was already considered like her own.

"How are you, Pah?" she hugged Mark.

"Papa good, dear."

"Let's go in." Keyla took the two to the living room adjacent to the dining room.

"Grandmas! The grandpa!" The star that saw his grandparents came down from the chair and ran towards them.

"Grandma's favorite grandson! Binbin kangen is not the same as Grandma?" Sabrina hugged her granddaughter and kissed her puffed cheeks.

"Kangen! Let Binbin know Om."

Om? Sabrina's eyes were fixed on Darrel. "Oh, God! What did that brat do?!" inner Sabrina gnash.

"Grandma just sat on the couch, baby," she replied while holding the Star. Keyla and Markus were on the couch whispering. I don't know what they're talking about.

"Awan .. come here, baby." Keyla called her son who had finished eating.

"Hi, Grandma. Hi, Grandpa," said Awan, kissing his grandparents' hands.

"Are you ready?" markus asked calmly as he was furious to see the man sitting at the other end.

"Your mama says Grandpa and Grandma can take you on vacation before the Clouds get to school."

Hearing the word holiday, stars are excited. Although not grandchildren, Sabrina and Mark treated the Stars the same way they treated the Clouds.

"OKAY. I'll take the bag first."

"No need to bring clothes, baby. Assistant Grandma has already prepared it."

"Okay, Grandma."

"Neighbor Master. Comeoverhere. I'll introduce you to my parents, "call Keyla who sounds like a mockery in Darrel's ear.

Darrel walked up to them and greeted Sabrina and Mark. Although they looked calm, yet their third eye emitted a rage. Keyla, however, is just waiting for the right time to unlock the truth.

__________🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼_________

"My children and parents ...." Keyla starts the conversation but cuts it off halfway once her children and Antony's parents leave her apartment and go on vacation.

" ... O. ups, I mean, my ex-husband's parents are gone and now we're both in this house" Keyla continued, crossing her legs and arms. She sat as if she was playing the role of a princess who wanted to seduce the prince to become her future husband.

"What do you really want to say?" Darrel controls himself from being profiled by Keyla.

"Not much. I just want to know why you're sending a cake for my son?" keyla asked with a seductive look then paused for a moment to take a breath. " ... I mean, our son. Darrel Douglas or Stevan Antonius?" continued again.

Darrel got up from the sofa, returned Keyla's gaze as if to pull him and drown him to the bottom of the ocean. "Which do you prefer? Darrel Douglas or the ex-husband who has let you down so much, Stevan Antonius?" Darrel said quietly and brought his face closer to Keyla.

"I have no obligation to answer your questions!"

"Then I'll find out for myself" he said casually.

Darrel stroked Keyla's lips gently and the woman was waiting for her to fall into the trap.

Keyla laid her body down on the sofa, "Are you getting hot?" Keyla pulled the collar of the man's shirt up on it. Slowly he smeared Darrel's lips whose hands rested on the elbows so as not to directly overlap the body of the woman below him. Keyla occasionally bit Darrel's lower lip and stroked her hair slowly. The slow, intense kiss lasted long enough, slow, and unhurried.

"Take me to the room, baby," he whispered right in front of Darrel's ear and whirled his tongue around Darrel's ear lobe that looked flushed and hot.

"Where's your room?" Darrel lifts Keyla's body.

"On the top floor." Keyla wrapped her hands around Darrel's neck and unceasingly attacked the man using her thick, sexy lips over Angelina Jollie's.

Darrel walked slowly, climbing the stairs very carefully as if he was holding something fragile. Something that is easily broken and very valuable.

Arriving at the room, he placed Keyla on the edge of the bed and looked at her face for a few seconds.

"Are you satisfied kissing me?" asked Darrel with eyes that seemed to want to prank Keyla.

"I want you to touch me here" Keyla replied, pointing Darrel's warm hand and looking muscularly at the mound that didn't look properly wrapped.

"Do you deliberately want to tease me by not wearing a bra?"

"Where might I dare tease you, neighbor? You seem to have misunderstood."

"You have to figure out the answer to your question harder" whispered Darrel and revealed a triumphant smile as he was not fully tempted and fell into Keyla's trap. He then moved from Keyla's room and left leaving the woman stricken with aggravation.

Arrgghhhhh! What a shitty guy!!! Even though we stay a little while longer. I have to open it! There is something behind your pants that can prove who you are!!!
