My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)
Will return

It's been a month, since that day Leo chose to live in an apartment alone. Being on one roof with Syera in the house made him unable to control his emotions that could explode at any time. Especially when he was informed that the name of his father was listed as a guardian of Shera since he started school.

Mama Mila, who is getting better and better, seems to have sincerely accepted the reality of her husband's departure.

Whether you like it or not with the existence of Syera at home but Mama Mila never blamed the existence of the little girl. Mila never showed an attitude as if she hated the girl but she also never showed an attitude as if accepting the existence of the girl.

Mama Mila's attitude like that makes Leo inexhaustible. Leo was sure that if his mother knew something, but because of the last message that required Syera to stay in the house, her mother would have to accept it.

There was not a word that Mama Mila had said to Syera in nearly a month. When passing by or being at the same dining table, Mama Mila will just be quiet. And vice versa, not much Syera said while there. He was afraid that what came out of his mouth would be a mistake.

Since childhood, Syera lived with a woman who worked in a bar she called her mother Jelita. Being the son of a woman whose work is related to the night world and the striped men make Syera already accustomed to the ravings and insults of people and friends around her. She knew that Jelita's mother was not the woman who gave birth to her because Jelita's own mother told her.

Often get insults and insinuations make Syera has no friends that she can invite to tell stories or joke. The real shera is a cheerful child but because of circumstances makes him a quiet and closed person.

Wulandari, the woman who was in Mr. Bayu's car when the accident instantly disappeared from the hospital. No news of the woman since the incident, she disappeared as if swallowed by the earth.

The young man looked at the photo stored in his mobile gallery while waiting for the departure of the plane that would take him abroad.

He stared at the photo on his phone with a sad look but that look changed when his gaze was shifted to the figure of a teenage girl who was just sitting in the second grade of junior high school.

His eyes turned like an eagle ready to pounce and tear its prey apart.

Leo turned off his phone and lazily walked over to a couple who were none other than his family's servants and the teenage girl.

"You take care of yourself and never report anything to me. I don't care how you take care of him, just remember not to let him leave the house before school's over."

Right after saying his sentence, the notice of the departure of the plane that would carry Leo was heard.

"Good, sir. We will do as you ask" said the fifty-year-old woman.

"I'm leaving now."

Leo pulled his suitcase and walked back to the three of them.

"Wait!"

The teenage girl who had just been silent opened her voice.

"I'm sorry but I just want to ask you how should I call you? Brother or om?"

"I'm not your sister!"

Leo resumed his path and it did not take long for the plane that took him to fly to his destination.

"Sorry, sir."

The teenage girl raised her head looking at the plane that was taking Leo away.

Feeling tired of his recent life, Leo decided to continue his studies abroad. Not only that, his departure was also to handle the children of his papa company who were in the X country. At first she asked her mother to come with her but she refused.

Without knowing who the real Syera is, of course, Leo can not just throw him out given the last message his father conveyed to Mr. Ferdi. Leo leaves with many questions but one that he believes that Syera is one of the reasons his father had an accident and died and that ruined his mother's married life and his father's.

Back to Leo in the broken ship room.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

Leo opened his eyes, wiping his wet cheeks from the tears that came out as his memories returned to the events seven years ago.

"Excuse me sir, I brought your new phone. As you wish, sir." Bima put a new cell phone on Leo's desk. "Today's activities I'll reschedule for tomorrow. You can rest today."

"No need, do it as scheduled," said Leo as he turned his chair to face Bima.

"But I think for today master better rest," suggested Bima.

Leo stood up, tidied up his clothes and stuffed the newly purchased cell phone moments ago into his cloth pants pocket.

"What's the next schedule?" leo asked to fix the watch's position.

"Next there is a meeting with the investors one hour away and attending the wedding reception of one of the children of the master's business partner at night."

"Good."

With a definite and gallant step Leo left his room and followed Bima behind him. As a good secretary Bima often advises Leo to rest and calm down when Leo is in his current state. But when Leo still chose to do his job, Bima did not dare to forbid it.

This day has been so long for Leo. Attending a wedding is one of the activities that he has not liked since seven years ago, but as a businessman of course such things are often to be done. Inevitably, like not liking him to keep doing it.

At ten pm Bima drove Leo home to his house, a minimalist house that became his residence since arriving in the country X. There was only one of him there while the hired servant would go home in the afternoon.

When he was about to step into the house Leo raised his hand and pointed his index finger.

"One month from now. Prepare everything. We'll be back!"

"You mean?" leo was not sure what his boss was saying.

"We're going home."

Although hesitant, Bima agreed with Leo's words. "Good, sir."

..........

Wearing a white bathrobe Leo poured wine into his glass. His index finger around the circle of the lip of the glass in his hand. He closed his eyes and smiled wryly, not knowing what he was thinking today to decide he would return to his home country.

One bottle of wine is finished by Leo alone. His gaze bristled, his head felt heavy and drowsiness reached him. Leo walked to his room.

Bugs!

Leo dropped his body on the bed and it didn't take him long to fall asleep.
