My Heartbreak Stop At You
Chapter 7. The grim-faced boy
...🥀🥀🥀...
The night after Edwin and Claire had eaten together at their new home, the man said goodbye because tomorrow morning there would be a schedule in the hospital.
"If there's any need, please don't call me!" said Edwin who now feeds his last bribe after helping Claire make things better all day .
" Thank you Win, you.always help me!" claire replied with great sincerity.
" All together. You take good care of yourself. Take care of Neo too!"
" Sure!"
Oh if only Claire had said yes when Edwin expressed his feelings first. Maybe things will turn out more beautiful.
" Sory Win's. But I'm more comfortable with my life like this. Both with Neo!"
Makes Edwin realize that Claire is a typical person who is difficult to move on.
But Edwin who cares about Claire continues to follow her heart, who is reluctant to stay away from the woman even though they are just friends. Edwin wants to try harder to get Claire's heart.
Unbeknownst to them, Neo apparently peeked at the interaction of the two from behind the wall. The boy was actually already sleepy and could not sleep if not rubbed his back by Mother.
" Mommy.." whine Neo while rubbing his eyes with a face that is increasingly frowning because his mother was not finished when talking to Om Edwin.
Edwin smiled when he found out Neo was there.
" I'm sorry Mom, den Neo doesn't want me to be with you, she wants to be with you" Juwi said.
Edwin got up from his seat and walked over to the boy. " Oh, go first, huh? Keep Mom here!"
Neo nodded but his countenance showed annoyance as the man slashed his sleeping rations.
Now Edwin got up again and looked at Claire who was also standing up to meet her son.
" I'm going!" edwin actually still wants to linger with Claire.
Claire nodded, "Call me when you get there!"
The man smiled.
Neo is really upset that the drama is not over. Do you like Om Edwin? He was even sleepy from now on.
" Mr Juwi has made milk?" claire asked after she drove Edwin to the front door.
Neo nodded still with an annoyed face.
" Neo's mad at Mom?" asked while gently rubbing his son's black tendril.
" Mom keeps talking to Om even though Neo is sleepy!" said Neo whose eyes were already heating up about to cry.
Making Claire sigh, "Oh our stone is done in the house, put this on it. We have to be polite to our guests!" he said gently trying to give understanding.
But Neo's face suddenly warmed up.
" Hahaha doesn't have a father, hey Neo doesn't have a father...!"
Brandon's words some time ago still don't seem to disappear from his brain. To make the boy cry again.
" Why are your kids crying?" claire asked grimly as she clasped Neo's little body into her arms.
" Mom, I want to show my friends that I have a Dad!" Neo cried, making Claire immediately gulp and rub the back of her quivering son.
Even Juwi who was still there felt a tight chest.
" I'd like to see Brandon if I have Dad too, not just him!" crying rages.
" Dear, tomorrow we go to a new school. His friends are new too. School has plenty of toys!"
But Neo's gloomy face still survives until Claire is now in the principal's room.
Yes, this morning Claire herself delivered her son and asked Juwi to clean up the house.
" So please understand, ma'am, my son is active and sensitive when it comes to.(explain if he is a single parent)." bright Claire who inevitably had to be honest from the beginning so that things were easier.
The teacher understands. Perhaps Claire is a widow who lives dead by her ex-husband, so the grief is imprinted in Neo's heart.
" We understand, we'll condition Mom!"
The two throw smiles at each other.
Although the school was mixed with some students from the poor middle down, but Claire felt that the school was safer.
" Hello boy, can the teacher know what is not his name?" ask the teacher who now invites Neo to interact.
Makes the boy tick.
" Noe!"
The bespectacled female teacher smiled kindly to Neo, "Welcome to school again Neo. Now.follow the teacher yes, we are acquaintances with friends. We'll put a lot of toys together, yeah..."
Claire looked at the tiny body of Neo who was now held in her hand by the teacher earlier. Claire let out a deep breath as she was completely dizzy if Neo asked about her father.
His phone shook as he was about to head to his car park.
📞 Mama calling....
" Mama, what's wrong?" mumbling itself.
" Yes ma?"
" Clay, are you moving to Atana?"
Making the woman hurriedly move her phone due to the sound of the mother who was so deafening.
" Why does my mom know?" it even makes up because he will just tell his mother about his move today.
" Yes Ma!"
" I just called Juwi and said that you're sending Neo the school list!" mama's light makes Claire finally know who the lone suspect is.
" Why move?"
" Neo's bullied his friends about Dad!" the answer was after swallowing.
Sudden silence created. The one on the other end of the phone also sounded to sigh.
" Why did you choose to go there. There it's a little quiet, why not choose in Tanapan or other cities closer to the airport!"mama's girlfriend who seems to be inexhaustible with Claire's choice.
" Claire's business is here to go, ma, there are no competitors!"
The one at the end sounded back sighing.
" Mama just wants to know if your grandfather is healthy. But mommy is equally papa you can't be there because bude Jessika again bothered, his wife Demas just gave birth to a third child!"
Makes Claire immediately stunned because her cousins have been living happily while she is still like this.
" Melody didn't want to come here?" tanyanya who misses her sister who is rarely online.
" She asked your father to study business. If everyone does not want to stop, how will the fate of the company later. You can't expect it either!"
Actually, my mother's words are true. And he doesn't have to be angry about the truth. But what makes him sad is why he always feels all his hard work is invisible just because he does not want to continue his company. Is it because tilapia breaks a speck of milk? because of her pregnancy outside of marriage?

Sadawira who happened to pass in front of the school asked Dollar to stop his car.
" What's wrong, sir?"
" Let's just give it to the kids!" point Sadawira to a pile of food that a woman had just sent him. The ambitious woman wanted to approach Sadawira because of her success.
" It's not for employees?" bargain Dollar again remembered with Henry also Janu.
" Do!" tukas Sadawira while staring hard at the Dollar because it does not like to be denied.
" Well, sir!"
So the Dollar hurriedly came down and brought a large bag of chocolate cake that was actually tempting it swiftly.
The teacher who saw Sadawira coming with another man was immediately stirred up.
" Mister Sada gosh, let's go in, why don't you let me know if we want to come, we can make preparations." said the teacher looked awkward.
" No need to bother Mom, I just happened to pass by. It's shared with the same children the same teacher council that's here!"
Give away two large bags of chocolate cake that does look tempting.
" Good God, thank you so much sir. Coincidentally these kids are resting, they must be happy!"
Making Sadawira immediately circulated his gaze around where the children looked cheerful playing and heard laughter that made his heart peaceful.
" I'm sorry I have to go, because there's something I still have to finish. Next time we can talk again!"
" Well then sir, thank you again for your attention to the children of Mr. Sada!"
Sadawira nodded with a smile. Though it was just an act that he thought was trivial and small, but it turned out to bring a reaction of great happiness to others.
Sadawira who had left the teacher's room, now turned his head but did not find the Dollar behind him.
Where's the kid going?
Apparently the big-time playboy was chatting spoiled together with the young teacher he was appraising, and was busy issuing his bragging moves.
Making Sadawira shake his head. You can take advantage of an opportunity like this.
But when he was about to catch up with his wayward men, Sadawira's eyes accidentally caught the figure of a gloomy boy while staring at the rocks in front of him.
It makes him interested in greeting.
" Hello, why don't you play with your friends?" sapa Sadawira who is now crouching to equalize the height of the child.
Making her a little boy with wet hair look it looked up.
DEG!
And when the boy whose eyes were wet turned his head, Sadawira was immediately surprised to see the face of the boy who suddenly made his heart throb without cause.
What happened to me?
But the boy immediately looked down again because Sadawira even looked gawking and did not say anything more.
" Dear, why here? Come on in, let's share some cake inside, chocolate cake!"
The teacher's sudden voice made him flinch from daydream.
" Cocoa cake?" reload Neo who was immediately attracted and made the eyes that were originally dim, now suddenly bright and radiant while hearing the word brown which was his favorite.
" Right baby, let's hurry up there and ask Ms. Grace!" said the teacher softly and managed to make Neo immediately dart towards the classroom.
" Yes!!! Chocolate!"
Sadawira was still howling as the boy sped away past him who was now starting to rise to his feet with a strange taste.
" That's the new boy sir. Usual. Need adjustment!" bright teacher for a moment and then went to catch up with the children who are now happy because they get a ration of delicious cakes. Leaving Sadawira who was now sculpting with a strange taste that he had never tasted.
" That kid? Why do I feel weird when I see it?"
