Love Me Please Channing
The Secrets of Channing's Past

The higher the position of a person, the higher the envy and envy of others. As it turns out, it is not just a pearl word, but a clear fact of truth.

Kendrick is one of the proofs of that. Without any problems in the previous days, that morning he was suddenly startled by the lopsided news that befell his family. A bad thing that suddenly becomes a big question for colleagues who are involved in cooperation with him.

'Channing Olsan Demitry, Apparently Not the Bladder Child of Alexandre Kendrick Demitry'

A sentence that became the title in the trending news that morning. Already wara-wiri on social media, there is even one of the local television stations who contributed to the news. Each party is busy discussing and waiting for clarification from Kendrick—, the owner of dozens of hotels scattered on the island of Bali.

"Please hide this from the children, lest they know about the news. I will take care of it soon" Kendrick said after seeing the news that disturbed the peace of his family.

In the news, it is written that Channing is the son of his first wife with another man. It does. However, Kendrick does not want everyone to know about it, including Channing himself. From childhood he took care of the child because his wife died a few days after giving birth. Kendrick thinks of him as a child. For him, the guilty one is his wife, while Channing is just an innocent baby who knows nothing. So, it should not be included in the problem, especially Channing also grew up as a good child.

"All I know about this is me, Athena, and also my former in-laws. Then ... who leaked and spread this?" kendrick with a growl. He promised not to let go of anyone who dared to harass his family.

However, Kendrick had not been able to leave the house, Channing had first run down the stairs and shouted to him.

"Father!"

Kendrick turned, "What's up, son? Tumben this early has gone down?" ask Kendrick, as if nothing happened.

"This is what, Pa?" Channing showed me her phone screen, which was showing her status at the time.

Behind Channing, Athena looked lethargic. His gaze was as if saying, 'sorry, I failed to hold him back from seeing the news'.

"Pa! Please explain to me what this is. There's no smoke if there's no fire, right?" channing.

His mind has been fucked up since. The shadow that he was not Kendrick's child so strongly permeated his mind, leaving behind a deeply painful feeling of debris.

Before Kendrick could answer, Binar and Axel also came down and approached him. Although there are no words they say, but Kendrick is sure that both of them have seen the news. Just a glance was enough to explain everything.

"I forgot, they also have cell phones, and certainly also have close friends. So, it was impossible that they did not see him. But why should it be so fast? In fact, I haven't found a proper sentence to explain, "inner Kendrick.

"Pa, don't shut up! Please tell me the truth, Pa!" Channing pleaded with him. Until finally, Kendrick could not dwell and was forced to respond to all questions Channing.

"We sit down first, Papa will explain in detail" Kendrick asked.

The past story is quite long, it is not good if it is told just by standing.

Channing did not argue, nor did Binar and Axel. They followed Kendrick's steps into the living room. Then, sit there together without saying a single word. So too with Athena. He just kept quiet and waited for the husband to give an explanation.

"The news is true." The three words that came out of Kendrick's lips were enough to slap Channing. The heat of his face. What he feared was true, he .. not Kendrick's son.

"Mama cheated. And I'm Mama's son with her affair?" ask Channing.

Channing clenched tightly. Other than shouting in his heart, he was speechless. It felt like his world had collapsed. Dreams and dreams that have been spread as if scattered. The future that has been planned, is now bleak and does not seem titiannya.

Because of the pain of the approaching reality, Channing unknowingly released tears. Not much, but enough to prove how hurt he was at that time.

"Pardon Papa who was not forthright from the beginning. I thought you were already with Papa. And here too there is Mama Athena. Papa doesn't want you to get hurt because your real father is gone, even .. he died before your mother. It's just ... Papa doesn't know if outsiders are using this to attack us" Kendrick said.

No one spoke for a while.

"Channing, you calm down! Papa won't let this matter drag on. Papa's gonna go over the line and make a calculation with the troublemaker." Still Kendrick is talking, because the others are still tight-lipped.

"I don't know what to say, Pa," Channing said after a moment of silence.

Athena did not reply, but swiftly embraced Channing and rubbed her arms, providing support and encouragement for the child. While Binar and Axel just look at each other, while deepening in each other's hearts.

Axel just muttered his surprise, while Binar was busy asking various things to himself, which of course did not get an answer.

Is this a sign that Channing and I are being paired? We can be called non-brothers. One assumption that continues to revolve in the mind of Binar.

The hour hand was still showing at 09:00 in the morning, but Channing and Laurent were already sitting together inside the cafe.

After talking with his parents, Channing's mind immediately became confused, and he needed Laurent as a place to share. Because it is impossible for Binar, the relationship between the two is not as good as before.

Coincidentally, that morning he and Laurent were not in class. So, it was easy for the two to meet.

"Lala, I'm in trouble" Channing said. Then, he continued by telling the problem. Starting from the trending news, to the fact that he is not Kendrick's biological child.

While listening to Kendrick's story, Laurent said nothing, only occasionally nodding softly. His attitude seemed to show that he knew earlier, before Channing revealed it.

"I really didn't expect. Scenes that I see more often in the world of film, it happens also in my life," Channing said after finishing the story.

Laurent hasn't responded. He instead played his drink glass, until a moment passed.

"Mal___"

"We broke up, yes" Laurent said.

Channing jerked. He saw the face of the lover, hoping to find laughter on his ripe lips. However, there is no. Let alone laughter, not even a wry smile. That is .. Laurent's speech is not a joke.
