Renita got an apartment that is not too expensive, but quite comfortable to live in. His life felt light as the burden of life was reduced. About work, Renita also got it. Thanks to his friend, he gets a job at a hotel as a chef.
Kelvin has also been enrolled into a top-notch high school near the apartment. However, the boy's smile was invisible, scowling every day, especially when dealing with Renita.
Today is Renita's first day of work, Kelvin also starts school. Renita was already preparing in her uniform, preparing breakfast for her and Kelvin.
Kelvin walked out of the room with a bag, then approached the dining table.
"Morning, Kelvin," said Renita softly.
"Morning," Kelvin replied coldly and half-heartedly.
Pouting again. Renita sighed in disappointment, then sat down before Kelvin. Renita shifts a bowl of cereal and milk in front of Kelvin. The boy accepted it and took the spoon without staring at Renita in the slightest.
Renita's heart seemed to melt, so miserably her child's indifferent treatment to her. Renita was reluctant to ask, but this time she could not bear to discuss it.
"Kelvin's."
"Emm?" kelvin said while chewing and did not take his gaze away from the cereal bowl.
"You why the hell? How you ignore Mama, never look at Mama. Mama also did not. What was? Try to say to Mama."
Kelvin stopped chewing, grasping the handle of the spoon tightly. It feels so tired. Don't know what his mistake was? Is the person called the mother still unaware that she has lied to her child?
Kelvin can't be angry at his mother, so the annoyance is just harbored. He put the cereal back in his mouth after saying cold.
"Think of it yourself."
Renita was surprised, the more hurt this felt. But he also became angry. A child should not say that to his mother.
"Kelvin!" reprimand snapped. "Mama doesn't know you...."
"If you don't understand," cut Kelvin in a huff, throw the spoon into the bowl until the clanking is loud enough. Renita was shocked with her mouth open. "Not to be asked."
"That's exactly what you need to know...."
"Did you forget what you said back then?" cut Kelvin, his voice rising. "Mama promised to meet me with Kiara. I came here because of Kiara's sister. But, where's Mama's promise? Very busy Mama deceives her own son for the sake of her own selfishness."
Renita let out a breath of air that settled in her chest, very tight to hear the painful words of the child. Yes, it's his fault, but what's it gonna do with yelling at him like this?
Kelvin realized that he shouldn't be this hard. He doesn't want to argue with her anymore. Enough for him. Feeling somewhat guilty, Kelvin got out of his chair while carrying a bag, then left Renita without saying goodbye.

Shawn can't accompany Kiara because there are other workers to do. So, Kiara was entrusted to a special nun and a bodyguard.
It's boring! Kiara's lips were manyuned, then looked at the scene outside the window with a sigh.
When are you gonna get here? Can't he be allowed out?
Then, Kiara glanced at the door with a glass. "Well, what the hell is using the bodyguards in front? Does he not believe in me?" rutuk Kiara is irritated.
Kiara glanced in the other direction while thinking for a moment. He dropped the infusion bottle, then got out of the bed and walked to the door while carrying the infusion bottle.
Kiara opened the door, the bodyguard spontaneously turned his head and bowed slightly. "Miss, how can I help you?"
Kiara looked at him anxiously, but the bodyguard seemed unconvinced by Kiara's request.
"Eng ... What, huh? Thing is...."
"Let's just calm," Kiara sidelines directly to clear the man's doubts. "I'm not going to run away. I promised Shawn. It's safe anyway."
Although initially hesitant, the bodyguard reluctantly allowed. Kiara gave her assurance by bringing a special nun to come with Kiara. After all, Kiara just wanted to take a walk around the hospital's front garden. The bodyguard must have understood how hard it was to be locked up in a room for 24 hours?
Wheelchairs are prepared. Kiara sat there, while the sisters in particular pushed the wheelchair. Kiara was taken down the hallway while looking towards the park.
Kiara smiled, then breathed some fresh air this morning. It feels like living after seeing the outside world. After marrying Shawn, is Kiara allowed out to just leave the guy's big house?
"I'm going there!" show Kiara at the edge of the park.
The sister sighed in the wheelchair, then placed Kiara according to her request. Kiara noticed some patients who were walking around relieving her fatigue and tiredness from lying long in bed. There are also some hospital visitors who pass by to meet patients.
For a moment, his face was gloomy. Family, Kiara doesn't have it anymore. There was only a foreign man she would marry. That too without love. The promise to escape has been made. Kiara only resigned, believing that Shawn would grant his terms.
"Miss," call the nurse, throw Kiara's daydream.
"Yes, Sus?" sahut Kiara, stammered.
"Is there anything you want?"
What, huh? Actually, what she wanted this time was to want to meet her sister and stepmother. But that's not possible, Shawn's trying to find them.
"Em .. I want a drink," replied Kiara, after a long time of thought.
"alright. Miss wait here first, yeah, I'll be right back."
The nurse ran away leaving him. He must have been afraid of Shawn's threat if he failed to keep Kiara. I am glad to think about it. Kiara also does not want to risk people's lives because of the mistakes she made. His chance to escape was also small, Kiara was sure that the bodyguard must have been scouting.
Kiara's gaze was sidetracked when she heard the sound of a child's laughter. In front of him were two boys aged around 5 or 6 years old who were engrossed in playing ball throwing.
Kiara smiled gently. They were very funny, reminding him of his students. His smile slowly disappeared, long pensive.
Those kids, how are they? Is there a new teacher teaching them? He longs for the cheerful laughter that echoes in class, singing together, giving new knowledge, and looking at the crayon scribbles in the picture book.
Kiara is very fond of children, therefore she devotes herself as a kindergarten teacher. She also wanted to be a mother and have several children.
However, this marriage ..it is impossible to have children. Kiara is not. To his dismay, the child born would have a cruel nature like Shawn.
Hiii .. mending you have no children. Kiara will rush to install KB once Shawn decides to touch her.
"Hey, lookout!"
The screams brought him back to the real world. His eyes dodged, shocked that suddenly a man was standing in front of him while stretching out his hands, and the ball hit right on his stomach.
Kiara looked worriedly. The man was fixated with a funny expression enduring his pain. Then, the man looked at her.
"Are you okay, Mommy?"[]
