My Heartbreak Stop At You
Chapters 2. Neo

...🥀🥀🥀...

In a house with a modern colonial style, it looks sad interaction between the child and his mother.

" Mom, is Oma the same opa not coming here?"

A 5-year-old boy was seen staring grimly at the mother. His heart was troubled because it had just heard the news that Oma and Opanya had not come to visit his house.

Yes, Claire had always chosen to live alone after her grandfather often sickly and returned home to his hometown.

Comfort and tranquility make Claire refuse to return to the homeland. After all, he did not want to disappoint the grandfather who had given a hard ultimatum, related Sadawira even since he was pregnant with his child.

Go with Papa, Leo.

In addition, her skincare product business and her beauty brand are patronizing and have branches everywhere, making Claire reluctant to move.

Despite the risks, he must now be away from his parents, younger siblings and cousins. But that is not a problem, Claire can fight with her own life which is now a single mother for her only child.

" Later when it's off school, we look at Oma as Opa yes dear! Unfortunately, you just entered school, you will not get a lot of stars from the teacher!" claire exclaimed a soft word, while gently rubbing her son's shiny black hair.

The clear-eyed boy nodded obediently.

" Mom, said the teacher next month is father's day. Can I celebrate Father's Day? Mom said I only have a mother. But the teacher said, all those children exist because there are fathers and mothers!"

Which mother's tears did not fall upon hearing such innocent speech. This was the first time Neo was in a school for children. But he forgot to anticipate if becoming a single parent was apparently not as easy as he imagined.

Moreover, Neo is just a little boy who does not know anything, the problems of his parents that Claire may never reveal.

" Can we have Edwin's help later?" his reply tried to hold back the tears that had been jostling wanted to come out.

" Is Edwin my father?" asked Neo again with a plain face, as if he wanted to know everything.

Claire shook her head with an ironic smile, "No, she's Mom's friend.But we can ask her for help right? Om Edwin is good and dear to Neo!"

But the boy was immediately moody, because what he wanted was father, not om.

" No need for Mom. Neo will still come with Mom alone, I will tell Teacher if I have a Mom who loves me!" exclaim Neo while hugging Claire's body.

" Mom loves Neo too!"

Claire's heart is getting cut. Mistakes in the past must now be borne by the child, even at such a small age.

" I'm sorry, son. We will never be able to escape and hide from the harsh reality. But I'll always try for you."

" Your grandfather is sick, if you have time to visit for a while!" said Bella's mother who gave the news that Edi's grandfather was not healthy. Even Deo and Demas had just sent him a message.

Claire's worried. Neo just went to school, and it's not good to have permission. Moreover, if he returns to Indo, it means that he is stiffening massalu.

" But Neo just got in Ma!" he answered Mama Bella with a grim face even though her mother would not see it because they spoke by phone.

" Mama what the hell is that talking? Grandpa must be healthy. I'll be there after the meeting at Neo school is over!" Claire does not like if her mother talks about the condition of her grandfather because she is afraid of something happening.

Apparently having parents who live far apart is more incongruous.

This afternoon Claire was about to pick up Neo at her school, but when she was about to enter the building, she saw her son crying while being carried by his teacher.

Make him quickly advance the pace.

" Good God, what's going on, ma'am?" claire panicked when she met her son's arrival.

The teacher looked grimly at Claire who looked panicked. Neo is a good boy, there's no way he's naughty.

" We deeply regret this incident, ma'am. Neo and Brandon fight in class. I'm sorry!"

" What?"

Claire scans her son's body for fear that Neo might get hurt. But thankfully, Neo was crying without any injuries plastered there.

" Why did this happen?" ask Claire who regrets this incident because they just entered school, but instead appeared events like this.

" Neo doesn't like Brandon, Neo doesn't want him!"

Apparently Brandon was making fun of Neo when he discussed the father's day coming instead of the front. They plan to do an art stage where all parents will be present, because every year they do hold the same event, namely mother's day and father's day.

Arriving home, Claire asks Juwi to accompany Neo as she still has to return to her office to finish the job. But the chaos of thought, made Claire accept Edwin's invitation to ask her for a coffee break.

" I'll come for you!" edwin said so knowing the problems experienced Neo.

Edwin, a man who has the city's original citizenship, knew Claire when she gave birth to Neo at the hospital where she worked and was handled by her partner.

Edwin is an obgyn specialist who works at the city's largest hospital.

" Is it not a hassle?" asked Claire doubtfully.

Edwin shook his head quickly, "In fact I've offered myself many times to marry you Claire!"

Makes the woman swallow quickly because of checkmate.

Claire who was now sitting at a dining place with Edwin again felt awkward. That's true, Edwin has long expressed his feelings to Claire but he is difficult to open his heart.

" You can still find a woman more worthy of accompanying a great doctor like yourself Edwin!" reply Claire who feels if she is dirty.

Edwin let out a wry laugh, "What do you deserve for me?"

Claire shook her head, "I'm not a good person!" he said that staring straight at the road that now presents the back and forth vehicle that never deserted.

Edwin looked at Claire who lowered her head while slamming her mouth. For six years she was close to Claire, but she still considered her nothing more than a friend. It made Edwin's heart ache.

" How long are you gonna shut yourself down like that, Claire? What exactly are you still hoping for with Neo's bastard father?"
