Never thought that a woman who failed to marry like Lyra, can be called a mother by a child. At first Lyra did not like the call, not because she did not like Jay, but rather did not like Rigel who is the most annoying figure. On her first day of work, Lyra was hired for more than eight hours. The condition that Lyra thought was just dinner, in fact Lyra even had to invite to play a six-year-old child. In addition, Lyra also had to put Jay to bed before returning home. At first after eating Lyra was about to go home, but Jay kept whining asking her to stay the night. Inevitably Lyra had to invite him to play and put him to bed first so that he could go home.
Although tired after inviting to play and put Jay to bed, but it feels quite fun. Adorable Jay has a cheerful and gentle attitude that Rigel does not have.
After falling asleep, Lyra got out of bed. Walk slowly so that Jay does not wake up to the sound of his steps. Lyra came out of Jay's room, and was immediately shocked by Rigel standing behind the door.
"What's Rigel here for?"
"I'm waiting for you to come out of Jay's room."
"Why are you waiting for me here?" Ask back to Lyra who was astonished."
"I wanted to make sure you were so tired after being made not to go home by Jay. But it looks like Jay's asleep, so I don't dare go into the room."
"Of course I'm very tired. But it doesn't matter, because it turns out to invite Jay to play quite fun. Moreover, he had a gentle demeanor that his papa did not possess."
"Ehem," Rigel sneered. "Are you trying to defame me."
Lyra smile. "I was just kidding. But if you're shunned, you admit it."
"Ck," Rigel clucked with his sour face. "So now, are you going home?"
"Of course I'll go home. So I'm sorry to go home now." Lyra also stepped her foot.
"Wait on!! let me take you home." Rigel follows Lyra's steps.
"Will Mr Rigel take me home?" Lyra asked furrowed her brows.
"Of course I am ready, so I offer you a ride. This ride is my gratitude to you for making Jay happy on his birthday."
Rigel takes Lyra home in his car. On the way home, there was one thing that made Lyra eager to ask Rigel. Regarding who the mother figure who gave birth to Jayden, not because Lyra wanted to interfere in her affairs. But because he was still amazed by Rigel who called him a nephew during the afternoon at the office. Even though at home the child he called the nephew, instead called him papa.
And to treat her curiosity, Lyra had to ask Rigel not to make her misunderstand.
"Hm, about Jay," Lyra said in a nervous tone.
"Yes, what's wrong with Jay?" Rigel asked with eyes that only focused on looking forward.
Suddenly Lyra hesitated to ask, she was afraid that the question would make Rigel angry when he brought up the figure of the woman who had given birth to Jayden. In Lyra's mind, the reason Rigel considers Jay his niece, may be because Rigel has a problem with the woman who became Jayden's mother.
Just because Rigel didn't want to get angry, the question sank. What's more, Lyra is afraid that Rigel will fire her for bringing up the woman who gave birth to Jayden.
"Hm, I didn't ask. So you better just focus on driving."
"What questions would you ask fear of offending me?"
"Of course I'm afraid, if you get angry the stakes are my job." Lyra breathed her long breath. "Oh yes, I promise to worship the status of you who already have a child."
"Why should I hide, I have no children, Jay is my nephew."
"Hm, sorry. Even if you hate Jay's mother, you don't necessarily think Jay is your own son, Jay is your flesh and blood."
"I don't hate her mother at all, I love her very much."
Instantly Rigel chuckled. "Oh so that's what the question is about to ask you."
Lyra swallowed her saliva. "Hm yeah, you don't get mad, 'cause I brought up Jay's mom."
"Hm, well I won't be angry. I'll explain and answer all your questions." Rigel chuckled after hearing what Lyra asked earlier.
"I never got married before. Jayden is just my nephew whom I consider my own son. Jay's mother is my brother who died four years ago. Jay was abandoned by his parents around the age of one. And since I was close to him as a child, Jay never considered me as his uncle, but he considered me as his own father."
"Hm, I'm sorry I didn't know that Jay's mom was your sister, and I'm sorry I misunderstood you." Lyra breathed her long breath. "What a question I have made you sad, because my celebration has made you think back to your brother."
Rigel smile. "I'm not sad at all, and there's nothing to be sad about. I met someone once, and he said, if I continue to linger in grief then the one who leaves me will be just as sad. The one who left me would never calm down if what he left behind could not let go."
Instantly Lyra clenched her forehead. Suddenly he felt he had heard those words. As if de javu had said it, but did not remember who and where he said it. If he ever told Rigel why he never remembered it. Even just found out his face when he was at the hotel, or first met him when Lyra was at the nightclub.
"Why can I sink into thinking it, maybe the words are often thrown out by people to encourage what has been left behind" murmured Lyra in her heart.
Fifteen minutes later, Lyra arrived at her home. Lyra got out of the car and found Axel standing in front of her house.
"What are the nights in front of my house?" Ask Lyra wonder.
"I've been waiting for your return. I was gonna take you to go watch. Then I called you but that got him a man."
"Oh that must be Rigel sir. I went to his house and I was busy playing with his nephew in the room, and my cell phone was left in the living room."
"Is the man who picked up my phone the one who drove you home, and did he tell you that I called you?"
Rigel got out of his car. "I'm sorry I didn't get to say it, because Lyra was putting my niece to bed."
Axel sighed. "Who are you? Why would Lyra play and put your niece to bed?"
"He's my boss in the office, Axel," Lyra said.
Rigel extended his hand. "My name is Rigel Callisto. If you may know you're ready for Lyra, why do you seem to be upset with me."
Axel was reluctant to regret it, all he did was screech while folding his arms over his stomach. "Ck, is Lyra a babysitter, why can you tell her to look after your niece."
Rigel tilted his smile. "For Lyra herself will do it, why are you upset, you are ready Lyra."
"Of course I'm upset, Lyra works in the office not to babysit your niece. Why can you ask her to babysit your niece, just because you're a boss."
"I ask you again, are you ready Lyra?" Re-question Rigel with his cynical gaze.
Rigel and Axel's argument gets heated up, Lyra panics, she must stop him before Rigel is very angry because of Axel's actions.
"Sorry sir before, he's just worried about me. Because he is my friend. But I sincerely did and have no regrets about taking care of Jay."
Rigel. "Just a friend, but he seems to be burning with jealous flames. Therefore he waited for your return and was willing to stand long before your house."
Without further ado, Rigel just went to his car.
