The next morning, Claire who had been picked up by Edwin seemed to be preparing with Neo and Juwi. They plan to occupy a new house today. The sooner the better, Claire thought.
Claire is an independent woman who certainly does not need to doubt about how much money in her pocket, since adolescence she is keen to do business, unlike her younger sister Melodi who is slower when living her life.
No doubt, all that makes Claire always easier when deciding something. Because in this era, even money is not everything, but everything requires money.
" I want my Captain America bag Mom!" nengek Neo is not separated from the bag of one of the superhero figures from Avangers who has a round shield with a picture of a white star in the middle.
So Juwi immediately immediately immediately took the object containing his favorite funny puzlle.
Juwi who saw Edwin so attentive to Claire, actually often asked the employer the taste of the friend.
" Why not accept Mr Edwin, Mom? The guy's handsome, good again!" both of them were in the kitchen together.
But the household is not about him and his pleasure. There was a figure of a boy whose face really reminded Claire of a figure she no longer knew existed. Not just not knowing, but maybe not knowing.
Moreover, he knew that from an early age Neo was a type of person who is selective and perfectionist. Makes Claire a little difficult even to just give understanding.
The deep-rooted hatred, then growing in Claire's heart made the tangled thread between the two clearly will never meet the common ground. Moreover, his whole family really regretted it, especially his grandfather, Edi Darmawan.
" The rest let's bring the other car, let's go now. Neo, you want to be the same?" edwin's words made his daydream evaporate.
But the boy's thick walls didn't collapse even though Edwin did Neo very well. Claire felt for a moment that Neo was the true image of Sada.
Clear and undeniable.
" Noe!" claire said warn her son not to sniff.
" Good Mom!" neo replied with a pouting face.
The boy did not actually hate Edwin, sometimes he also received tribute in the form of chocolate or delicious-tasting snacks with heart sumringah. It's just that after he was bullied by Brandon, he was increasingly curious about the figure of the father.
" Is Om Edwin my father?"
" No, she's Mom's friend!"
How does that represent the real father? Why not everyone can be called Dad, while his other friends have Dad.
Is dad dead?
Is that dead?
Or did you go to work, didn't you keep the picture?
" We exist because we have a father and a mother!"
The words of the teacher's mother continued to dance in her small brain. Making Neo even more trapped in his own thinking.
" Will there be Father's Day at my new school?" cetusnya when the car has split the highway that began to crawl.
Claire who was sitting next to Edwin again gulped quickly. Her curious child sometimes does make her dizzy on her own.
" Does Neo want to take part in the show? I can go with Neo!" bargain Edwin tries to compensate for his super boy's curiosity.
" But Mother said, Om not Father Neo!"
Absolutely!
Making the three adult humans there immediately felt a sense of awkwardness that went out into the entire atmosphere in the car.
" Om can play Neo's father!" timpal Edwin was not disturbed.
" Means Neo lied dong?"
Damned! You're really - really Sadawira son!
Claire massaged her forehead, the more here why her son was showing an attitude like his father.
Little was already so, then how would he face Neo if it got bigger later?

They arrive when the sun is directly overhead. Claire buys the house through an official agent and asks for her old house to sell because she does not choose to return to a toxic neighborhood.
Bureaucracy in the country is a little easier than in Indonesia, making it more comfortable. In addition, Claire's business has entered into various cities in the country. Make it not difficult if you have to have a place to live because in each city, it has branches.
He chose Atana because this city he had never visited, and included the city furthest from the capital. It may be quieter to be in a busy city like Atana, which is mostly working in factories.
" Mom, is this our home?" ask Neo who has forgotten about Father's Day because he was amazed by the large modern painted building.
Claire nodded representing a yes answer. Make the active boy darted in because he could not wait to see a more futuristic big house.
" Yes, my house is like Spiderman's, ye!!! neo's now darting cry left three humans behind him.
"Den, don't run!" yelled Juwi who is now struggling while following the nimble child.
A smiling Edwin is now helping Claire drop off some of the suitcases they brought.
" Are you still thinking about him?"
(Are you still thinking about him?)
Make kontan Claire look.
" Who are we talking about?" his forehead was wrinkled indicating confusion.
" Dad Neo!"
But Claire was in no mood to reply to Edwin's tweet that suddenly made her heart slip it. He no longer even knew where Sadawira was, rather did not want to know.
" I'm happy with Neo!" answering flat with busy hands grabbing the handle of the suitcase. " He's my son, and that's more than enough!" he then left Edwin who was staring in front of two black suitcases that were still in the trunk of his car.
Edwin smiled discordantly, now turning his feet chasing Claire who first groped the suitcase.
" I'll wait until you prove your heart!"
The house was more relieved by a more modern design. He used to live in a house with a colonial design because it was his grandfather's choice. He who used to fall did not really think about how the shape and model of the dwelling will be in residence.
Let alone thinking about the model of the house, he just almost ended his own life because he could not accept the harsh reality of his own actions.
" Mom, is everything that room is for me?" Neo had apparently explored the house quickly.
The boy ran along with the robot Thor with a sparkling face, ahead of an agent officer who was also present there for handover.
" absolutely. Everything in Neo's room belongs to Neo!" replies Claire gently rubbed her child's head which is getting more active day by day.
" Yee!" shouted Neo while celebrating here and there.
Then Claire smiled again when she saw her son so happy. Warmth suddenly arose in his heart, when he could see the loose smile of his only child.
" A little boy brave!" edwin murmured praising Neo as he stared fixedly.
" Of course, he's my son!" answer Claire chimed.
Both of them finally throw a smile to feel the truth that makes the hearts of both bitter.
A complicated situation.
