Lies
Will You Come Back to Me?

Amidst Karan's chaotic feelings, Raya looked at him intensely. The woman even extended her hand until it touched Karan's hand. His eyes seemed to want to say that everything would be fine. Karan will be able to carry out his duties as a father very well. All Karan needed to do was increase his confidence. The man must be able to convince himself that he can be a good father in the presence of Luca.

“So, can we go home now?” raya stopped the conversation between father and son. The day is near noon, for Raya and Karan who just left the hotel is not a problem because they have just had breakfast at the hotel. Their stomachs are still full. But for Luca who only had breakfast, the boy would definitely starve. Especially leave Luca at Edgar's house who will not remember preparing lunch for Luca. Let alone lunch for the boy, Edgar often forgets to bring his briefcase. If Raya did not remind her, the man would often leave for the office without carrying a briefcase. “Daddy did not put lunch in your bag ‘kan?” guess Raya.

Sure enough the woman's guess was because Luca nodded his head quickly. “Yes, Daddy forgot. I was screaming from upstairs. Daddy always forgets everything if there is no Mommy.”

Karan's heart pounded with great jealousy upon hearing Luca's words. The boy seemed to explain how the proximity of Raya and Edgar to Edgar could not live his life well without the presence of Raya by his side. Raya is like that. Its presence always affects the environment. Karan had already felt it for almost a year of their marriage. Karan could not live well when Raya left him.

It was only one year. Then what about Edgar who lived on the side of the Kingdom for five years? The man must have felt a feeling of being bound to the Sososk Kingdom that was much stronger than what Karan could feel. Moreover, the presence of Luca in the midst of them that makes the lives of both will depend on each other. Honestly, Karan felt a huge feeling of envy. And that feeling was getting longer and more uncomfortable. Karan must immediately stop talking about Edgar before his heart boils with jealousy.

“How about we have lunch now? Uncle will take you to Uncle's favorite restaurant around here,” added Karan diverted the conversation. Inviting Luca and Raya to eat together is the right choice. In addition to celebrating her recovered relationship with Raya, it is also for the sake of her mission to get closer to Luca. From Karan's observation during several interactions with Luca in recent days, he concluded that Luca likes to eat sweet foods. Incidentally around the school the child there is a restaurant that serves a very good dessert. Karan wants to take his son there.

“Ya, let's go there!” cetus Luca is excited. So enthusiastic, he immediately got off Karan's lap and ran down the park towards the parking lot, which he assumed to be where Karan left his car. Because he understood the ins and outs of his school well, Luca could arrive alone in the parking lot without the assistance of his parents.

“Luca! Mommy told you not to run in the streets! You can fall!”

Raya reminds her son to be able to control his spirit. This always happens every time you pick up Luca from school. Not only to him, Luca also often gets out of control when he is with Edgar and Maude. The two men often complained about how difficult it was to keep Luca.

Perhaps the only thing Luca listened to was his grandparents, Edgar's parents. Because only they can make Luca not move much. Even with just one word, Luca was able to understand and obey. A truly unique child. It seems Raya needs to ask for a prescription from both Edgar's parents how to control her own child.

The view of Raya that originally led to Luca, now moved to Karan. “Ha? What is similar? We are so different to know!”

“You forgot or pretended to forget, Raya? When we were dating you were the kind of person you were and how you chased me, did you forget everything?” ask Karan while chuckling softly. He knew how Raya wanted to refute him, but the truth was like that. Luca is very similar to Raya, especially in terms of spirit. The two people were both unable to control his spirit if he had already obtained his goal. “You used to forget to bring school supplies until I had to wait for you in front of the school gate. Ah, you also jumped from the tree ‘kan? Do you really not remember where kit's son got his great spirit?”

Pipi Raya meets red. He also remembers his behavior in the past. Karan said, Luca really modeled all his attitude as a teenager. “Gosh, why is he copying bad things from me, but he's getting your cleverness?”

“Who said it was bad? I didn't say it bad, Raya. You know, it was your past that really caught my attention until I could fall in love with you until now. I can't imagine if there wasn't a girl named Raya Drisana chasing me for her mathematical remedial duty, I would never have felt this much love for a woman. You're the one who changed everything, Raya. And that's thanks to your fiery spirit.”

Raya stops walking suddenly until Karan stops his steps. “Do you not regret knowing me, Karan? Had you not cared about me then, wouldn't your life have been so much easier?”

Karan exhaled. If only they were not in a school environment where many children's eyes were looking at them, of course Karan would embrace the body of Raya and embrace her. Karan also denied his intention to embrace Raya. He will try to explain his heart through words even though he is not too adept at stringing beautiful words for a woman.

“Yes, maybe my life will be easier from now on. But Raya, that easy life does not guarantee happiness. How can I trade my happiness for loving you for ease? How could I regret having a child as cute and smart as Luca? There are no regrets in my life because of the presence of the two of you, Raya. My only real regret is that I can't keep you by my side. Because I haven't been by your side in five years. And I really want to make up for it by any means.”

It feels like Raya wants to cry hearing Karan's words. Everything has changed from Karan. The man's attitude is much more mature now. He looks very reliable and more able to control his emotions. Things Raya had a hard time getting from Karan's side while still her husband. However, there is one thing that does not change from Karan, namely his love for Raya. Ever since they were dating, getting married even in divorce status like now. All of that made Raya think not to let go of Karan again from her life. For he also loved Karan, as much as the man's love for him. What if the opportunity exists? What if he opens his heart to Karan again? Is everything gonna be okay?

“Karan, will you come back to me?” cetus Raya suddenly. The woman had only thought about it in her mind earlier, but it had now slid out from her lips. Although surprised, he still did not regret his question because he really wanted to return to Karan.
