Lenka's Dish
14
It's my fault that I could never, ever forget that he's with you.
Stiffened with guilt in the mind of Heaven, the reason for not accompanying Lenka to see the lecturer because there is a need and a need that she meant was to want to see Mayleen, how else?
The sky has long been looking for Mayleen who disappeared like the earth. Desperate Sky, making him try to accept an offer from his parents to approach a little jutek good girl, namely Lenka daughter of his father's best friend.
Afraid of the opportunity not to come twice, Sky decided to leave Lenka for a moment to finish his business with Mayleen.
The sky parked his car in a somewhat hidden position but was still free to watch Ola Voila and wait for Mayleen who had just come out of the restaurant after more than 1 hour.
"May.." Call the Sky
Mayleen instead sped up her steps away from the Sky.
"May, wait. We need to talk, you just left me. I need a reason, May." The sky ran small chasing Mayleen.
"Listen May, even my heart still thumped when near you. Where have you been all this time?"
"Don't make it up to Lang, even you already have the girl."
"May. tell me what's wrong until you leave me alone."
"Lang, I didn't know that you were in this town and I didn't expect it to be this easy to meet you. Just so you know, the reason I left and probably met you again is only because of 1 thing."
"We're looking for a good place to talk, May." Invite Sky who forgot his promise to pick up Lenka.
Flashback 5 years ago.
Sky and Mayleen are lovers. They both studied in Singapore. Different campuses, different classes and different majors. They met at an Indonesian student association and found out that they lived in the same apartment. This is the beginning of their meeting.
Mayleen's parents don't like the sky. Because according to them, Mayleen, their beautiful, smart and talented daughter must be paired with a conglomerate man. Not with men who can only study abroad because of scholarships.
Sky and Mayleen didn't care about it. It is even getting over the line. Those who were only 1 apartment building but different floors then chose to live together.
The sky is determined to make her lover happy and of course will spoil her puja with abundant treasure later.
Until one day, Mayleen forgot something so she was pregnant. Feeling unsure of the pregnancy test kit, Mayleen goes to the gynecology clinic to confirm her pregnancy. The use of a pregnancy preventer made her hormones disrupted and her periods irregular, so she thought it was just plain late.
Mayleen was happy when she saw the tiny figure as big as cashews and heard the heartbeat of the 10-week-old fetus.
Ah, it's a pity the sky is still busy with his survey. Mayleen put a print out ultrasound with a picture of her belly that is not too flat again on the bottom into the envelope and wrote 'patience waiting for her to be among us 7 months away' then he pitched a heart emoji along with the date he made the writing. Then Mayleen closed the envelope and slipped it into one of Heaven's books.
Honey, come home soon I have a surprise for you. Look at the blue cover book on the nightstand.
His Message to the Sky.
Mayleen prepared a special dinner while humming to imagine how Heaven would look when he knew he was going to be a father. Although unexpected, Mayleen believes Sky really wants this child. At least, because it is not long before the study of Sky will be completed and return to Indonesia, Mayleen has something to bind Sky, this child.
Mayleen heard footsteps coming in without knocking on the door. It's definitely..
"Say, what are you doing at the clinic?" The voice shook Mayleen.
"Mama.. What brought Mama here?" Ask Mayleen.
"You need to talk, I know everything." Answer mama Mayleen.
"A.. I'm pregnant, ma. How did you know I was there ?"
"I'm always watching you, bad boy. Leave that man, or you'll never see him again alive."
That same day Mayleen joined her mother back to Indonesia and that day Mayleen got the news that Sky was a severe accident.
"Mama.. Don't hurt Heaven, however he's the father of the child I bear."
"I know what's best for you, son."

"Who's our son's name and can I see him?"
"My son's name is Rigel, he's 4. She had thalassemia, had blood transfusions all her life except getting a donor.."
"I'm willing, I'll do whatever's best for our son." Answer Sky fast.
"What about the girl, will she understand ?"
"I'll talk to her, even if I have to cancel our wedding plans, I will.."
"No, I don't want you to sacrifice people for us."
"On the day I should be happy to get news about your pregnancy, I went home from my survey to a severe accident, 6 months of coma in the hospital, continued therapy to restore my physical function as usual. Fortunately the impactor was willing to pay all costs even gave me business capital. May, I've been looking for you everywhere, but.."
"Ah, Sky. Ii'm sorry. Forgive family. All under my mother's control." Cut Mayleen.
"You mean?"
"Mama wanted to separate us, when she found out I was pregnant.. My existence is also deliberately hidden from you. After giving birth I was separated from Rigel, then I married a man of my choice. While Rigel was arrested in an orphanage. At 9 months old Rigel was sickly, the parlour contacted my father and thank God I was able to take care of my son, even though I had to pretend to adopt him at first. Lang, I know how my mama is. I'm lazy to argue that all I thought was your safety and that of our baby. I followed Mama's plan, hoping that later we could fight for our love. My mama was behind your accident, including the good-natured hitman was my mama's man, Lang."
Sky sculpting.
"I'm. I'm gonna come see your mama for her blessing."
"Can't, Lang."
"I'll beg him, May."
"Can't, Lang. Why do you think I should apply for a job at the restaurant ? My family's business went bankrupt as a result of my mother's choice of man.
The damned man who became my husband was also in a relationship with my mother. He had fooled my mother. My mom was depressed and committed suicide. Then we, Rigel, papa and my confidant who later married me, moved to this city, started a new life, opened a bakery here while treating Rigel, I.. Even though my husband works, I'm trying to find an extra cause it costs a lot to treat Rigel."
"You know, it's not by chance that we met. I'll take part in Rigel's treatment. Don't refuse, Rigel is also my son" Sky said.

Queen Acasha smiled looking at the look on the walls of her palace.
"What do you think Miss Emma?"
"It's a must, queen. If I was Lenka, just let the Sky turn back his ex and mending be the same Arnold deh."
"Is that so? If fate writes the truth, actually Mayleen is not the time to meet the Sky.
"Ah, then why is it like a queen?"
"I want to see how Helena makes her decision. And I won't affect her mood." Queen Acasha.
