My Heart Was Wounded Deep
Chapter 2

"Who will you meet here?" Ask the guest.

"The name is Kikan" Rey replied.

"what's her look like?"

"I'm not sure what these days are like" Rey said, and Kikan nodded. The dark hair that was shoulder length was quite thick, and perhaps his best asset, his eyes were not his unattractive, Kikan did not feel himself ugly, nor did he feel ugly, but the scar on her face was something Rey had never seen. When he went to prison the wound was not there yet.

"He's not very tall" Rey added, as if it's the only detail Rey remembers to reveal.

"there was a woman who said she was waiting for two people to join her, yes" the guest said. "But I don't know where he went...."

Determined not to miss this opportunity after waiting for such a long time, Kikan clenched his hands so that his nails pressed against his palms, took a deep breath, then stepped out. "I'm sorry... I was washing my hands."

The wrinkles that appeared on Rey's face made Kikan's cheeks warm up. Rey is not happy to see him. Inevitably, Rey spends seventeen years in the hope of not seeing Kikan again, especially since the date of Kikan's release in retreat beyond the actual date.

But Kikan had expected this first meeting to be difficult. While raising his shoulders, he ignored Rey's negative attitude and turned to Jason. "Hi Jason, it's mom."

Kikan had repeatedly practiced saying those words, still he almost choked. Only with determination did he manage to maintain self-control. "But you can call me anything that makes you feel comfortable. I didn't expect.." his tongue felt so twisted and stiff that he could barely speak. "I don't expect you to do anything you don't want, not if it has anything to do with me."

Jason looked shocked to hear Kikan directly say such straightforward words. But Kikan also saw the teen's tension loosen a bit. Kikan reached out his hand. " It's so nice to meet you. Thank you for coming, I hope this cafe is quite comfortable, Just Come was my favorite place when I lived here, so hopefully... I hope it's still popular."

Jason glanced at his father before shaking Kikan's hand." Hello, "rumbling. But not looking directly at Kikan.

While telling himself that it was normal, that a little reluctance of the natural thing, Kikan removed all the burdens of thoughts and feelings upon meeting and coming into contact with his son, Kikan, He didn't want Jason to know how shaky he was.

"Are you ready to sit down?" the guest, whose attention had been diverted to say Goodbye to some of the returning customers, was now observing them with an uncapped curiosity. She may have guessed this Kikan Finnix is the talk of people, women who used to be found guilty of bumping into her love competitors with her mother's old dilapidated car before graduating high school.

As soon as they sat down, Kikan leaned back in the chair as another woman came to bring him some drinking water.

"Choose whatever you want" Kikan told Jason as the teenager opened the menu.

It was actually too soon to say that, but Kikan was nervous. And he had worked so hard a few weeks before being released that he could pay for this meal. He really wanted his son to enjoy the food here.

"I Want strawberry waffles and ice cream"

Grateful that Jason had already chosen a dish that he liked, Kikan smiled "then order it".

Although it's a little too late, Kikan realizes he should have asked Jason's father for his opinion on this, Jason's choice is not healthy food and he has absolutely no power over Jason's life. Therefore he added, "If your father doesn't mind."

As soon as Rey expressed her agreement, Kikan lowered his gaze. It was easier for him not to look at the man. If only Jason could be invited, he would be more pleased. The emotions he felt when it came to Jason were enough to slice his heart. Adding Rey to it will only complicate what is already complicated.

"Of course, you can also order whatever you like" she told Rey. "I am the deal."

While saying that, Kikan felt his face burn hotter. What a stupid remark! Rey contractor success. She doesn't need an ex-narapida to pay for her breakfast. And Kikan knew, even though he sent every penny he could save to Jason. Perhaps Rey also found the offer to pay for breakfast ridiculous. But Kikan means well all this time he fought so hard, so that the money that may be according to people is not how much, already has a very high value for him.

"Shrimp omelette is fine, too" Rey said, then ruled out the menu without properly studying it.

Kikan quickly calculated how much money he had left and began to forage at a suitable price.

"I'm not very hungry" he said rather dreamily so they wouldn't find it strange when he ordered. "I'll just order coffee."

Kikan almost used the menu to serve as a shield. Rey and Jason were looking at her carefully and humbling. Although it had been expected to be closely observed, it was still difficult to notice as if a stranger was strange and clearly unexpected. Not only that, Kikan was too self-conscious with the scar on his forehead. And don't want the flaw to attract attention.
