Life Returns, Starting Everything From Zero
Siska's Fear

*

*

It's been a week since Darren and Siska got home together the other day. The two never met face to face again. Aside from being cured and being able to return to school, Siska was busy guarding Uqi and Uni. Darren never came back to his house. Nor had he ever met Uqi and Uni.

Siska is also officially widowed. Even so, he was grateful that Aldo and his mother-in-law did not appeal nor did they come this week. Makes himself calmer through the days.

While waiting for Uqi at school, Siska came to the tavern and took a look. Without leaving the Union. So, he was just looking around without helping, because the Union had nothing to look after.

Sometimes, he also went to visit his father who every day returned to work in the garden. Hoe and plant, also water. All right, Siska also picked Rosella with Uni who just had fun being invited to the garden because he could play the land. As a result, every time he came home, he would be dirty with soil on his body.

Siska does not forbid, but is happy, because in this way, the Union who often asks about Darren can forget the question. Siska doesn't even know how to answer it, she doesn't know, so it can only distract the Union.

Until the time came to pick Uqi up. At 11 he had even reached Uqi school, and was waiting for him at the food stall with Uni who was currently polishing the ciki Siska had bought from the stall. But he only bought water.

Siska looked at Uni with anxiety, could not bear to record her snacking activities, because Uni looked troubled with her small hands, unwrapping the ciki that Siska deliberately gave again when Uni spent his first ciki.

Uni was as strong as possible to open the wrap, until finally the wrap was open, but the lady flew. Makes Siska laugh. The Union that was laughed at wept, not because of Siska, but because the food was scattered everywhere.

Siska saved her phone without turning off the recording. Then coaxed Uni with a new ciki, and after that he crouched down, tidied up the ciki-ciki below, taking it one by one by hand. Do not let the owner of the stall reprimand him because he makes a mess here.

"Mbuuu, mbuuuu." Uni exclaimed making Siska hurriedly look up, seeing what happened. Uni nearly falls and Siska quickly moves on and catches him.

Siska was relieved, but her heart was upset, she looked at Aldo who came to her in this food stall. The Union must have been terrified when she saw it, so she called for Siska and retreated from her seat to make the Union almost fall.

"Do you want what?" Tanya Siska flat. He's carrying a koala-style Union, so Uni doesn't see Aldo. Siska was angry, Uni to the point of shaking as soon as she hugged him. The hook of the hand on his neck was even so tight.

"I miss my son." Aldo smiled.

"Hindu? Cih, that's bullshit!" Hiss Siska.

"No, Siska, I really miss them." Aldo. "Why don't you believe it?" Continue with sad eyes.

But Siska was not moved at all. He would no longer believe the bastard in front of him. It was enough in his first life that he acted foolishly by believing it. He is no longer as stupid as he used to be greedy for love, to the point of sacrificing Uni and Uqi.

This time, it was enough for him to live happily with his family alone. Better and better every day. Only this kind of life would Siska want right now. Without the bastard's interference in front of him.

"Why should I trust a bastard like you?" Siska asked withstanding emotions.

"Siska, let me take Uqi." His request after being silent for a while.

"What's? I didn't hear wrong?" Siska asked while laughing sarcastically. "Bring Uqi and then want to hurt him again?" Siska asked, now her hand was pointing at Aldo's face. His emotions could no longer be contained. "Don't hope!" Last hiss. Then take care of the goods and leave the food stall.

"Don't follow me!" Peeking Siska, made several pairs of eyes look at her.

"Siska, give me a chance. Just one day, let me take Uqi, okay? My mom drives me crazy, every day telling me to take her granddaughter. She misses her granddaughter." Said Aldo, making Siska increasingly unwilling to give up Uqi.

Said mother? Siska doesn't even believe in Aldo, let alone his mother? The evil one who can only sneer, nag, and hit his granddaughter first? He did not even hesitate to push Uqi when Uqi made a mistake.

In fact, Uqi used to be very small, it was only natural to make a mistake when he was told to do one thing. Siska did not know, but knew once she came, her mother-in-law Karen pushed Uqi to coincide with Siska who had finished drying clothes.

Siska could only protect Uqi from her grandmother's blows at the time. Though he himself also fell because Aldo brushed him off when he wanted to leave the house.

Siska actually no longer wants to remember it, but instead her memory goes back to those times. His face, even bad. His eyes were already glazed over, his emotions turning into fear seeing Aldo who continued to advance and persuade him.

"Siska, please, give me a chance okay?"

"Siska, I'll take good care of Uqi."

"Siskah only one day."

"Siska"

Siska continued to retreat until she hit the gate of her school behind her. Frightened, he looked around and people stared at him without helping him. Wh why? Why they don't care. Don't they see her fear in Aldo?

"Sir, this lady told you, she doesn't want to, okay? Appreciate his words and choices. I don't know what your problems and relationships are, I don't intend to interfere, but I don't think it's good to do it here. It's just general, don't you see everybody's addressing you two?"

A woman of Siska's age finally raised her voice. He stepped forward and made Siska behind him. He pointed at Aldo with a furious face. Reawakened Aldo and looked at his surroundings who were already staring at him with a strange look.

Having received such treatment, Aldo spoke up in self-defense. "We're husband and wife, just fighting. Please understand everything." Aldo.

"N-no, no, we're separated. He wants to take my son." Siska said despite being scared but there was enough someone in front of her, she would dare to make a sound. "He always hit us first, so I don't want to give up the kids." Siska.

Aldo ended up being the target of sharp glares and sneers from everyone who saw him just now. Aldo defended himself with lies. Everyone certainly believes in Siska, seeing the attitude and the look of Siska.

Aldo finally gave up. He left feeling covetous under the sneering gazes of the people. Making Siska sigh in relief. He hugged Uni tightly and cried softly.

"Miss, it's safe, are you okay?" Ask the woman who helped him.

Siska nodded her head, and thanked him. Uqi dropped out of school, and the two were invited to a food stall to calm down.
