Neina and Leindra
CHAPTERS 14. DETERMINATION OF NEINA AND LEINDRA

Finished eating, Reno looked around Rini's house including Neina and Leindra's room. The two rooms look very different. Neina Room with pink shades. And there are some panda and bear dolls. One of them was often brought by Neina. Reno saw a unique but impressed watch that had been lying on the nightstand for too long. Reno thought she would buy her children a watch.

While Leindra's room, nuanced universe. Because Leindra is very happy with the planets and other universes. Lots of unique stuff in Leindra's room. Some of them, telescopes, binoculars, there is also a glasses, but Reno has never seen Leindra wear glasses and a watch similar to Neina's.

Reno looked towards Leindra who was reading. And Neina was in Leindra's room. He also enjoyed playing Leindra's telescope. However, Reno was curious about the books in Leindra's bookcase. He watched one by one while reading the titles of the book.

“Lein, your book is all ginian anyway? No romance novel?”, asked Reno who wants to tease Leindra.

Yes, all of Leindra's books are not far from Science and encyclopedias. Of course Leindra is not interested in such a book. Leindra looked resentfully at Reno but, Reno was grinning like a horse instead.

“Becoming it is just that I want to vomit, Pa”, chirped Leindra who shudder to imagine the contents of the romance novel.

“Why? What do you know about love? Hayo...”, tempt Reno again.

“Ck, do not know ah!”, replied Leindra sulking.

But, that made Reno giggle. Leindra's cute face was getting radiated even more as she was sulking like that.

Then, he remembered something. Then, call Neina and Leindra to approach him. The two of them immediately faced Reno. Then, Reno knelt before them.

“Neina, Leindra, today is your last day here. And since you also know the truth, Papa wants you to come with Papa”, pinta Reno with a face full of hope.

“No! I will never allow them to come with you!”, argued Rini when she heard Reno's words.

They immediately looked towards Rini who was putting on her face. Rini ran small and immediately pulled her two children and hugged her. It would never be Rela if both were taken by Reno.

Reno looked at the frightened Rini. It was in his heart a sense of inadequacy. However, the desire to have and care for her children was much stronger. He asked Rini to be fair.

“Why not let the kids decide?”, said Reno who did not want to lose.

He was very confident that his children would come with him. Because all this time they must also want the figure of a father. He promised to give her whatever Neina and Leindra wanted. Surely that's a tempting offer, right?

“Your path is Reno! You really want to take them away from me!”, said Rini who was angry at Reno's attitude that was like urging her children.

“I? Overly? Then you what? You really don't want to let them stay with me after all your years with them!”, Reno said, reversing Rini's words.

“Enough Ma, Pa! You guys don't fight anymore!”, said Neina.

“Yes Ma, Pa! We will decide. To be fair”, continued Leindra.

Reno smiled with satisfaction because he had won in the first round from Rini. However, Rini did not seem to accept. Reno who saw Rini's selfishness again mocked Rini by stating if Rini was afraid that children would prefer to come with Reno.

“I'm not afraid! I believe in my children! Because all this time I took care of them!”, replied Rini growled by tightening her teeth.

“Oh, yes? If so we give them the opportunity to think for a moment”, said Reno then out of the room.

So did Rini who came out following Reno. However, Rini had ignited the flames of emotion. And also so afraid that his children would really be brought by Reno. Rini pulls Reno's hand to stop her.

“What is your real goal? Separating me from the kids?” rini asked with tears.

Reno looked at the crying Rini. I have never seen him cry like this. However, Reno tried to ignore him. He did not want to be hypnotized with the face of pity of the woman in front of him.

“Did I not hear wrong? You are Rin, you who have separated me from my children! And now I ask you to return my children!”, Reno replied firmly.

Reno kept breaking Rini's words. He does not seem to want to lose to Rini. Because Reno is also entitled to her children.

“But it was me who had raised and cared for them alone until this very second! With sweat!  I will never let them stay with you! You can find them anytime. But, never take them from me!”, reply Rini again who also does not want to lose at all.

"That's your problem! Who told you to leave me? You don't know how much pain I felt when I woke up from a coma you've been gone a long time by my side! I think you're different from other women. But the same! When I was sick you left me! Do you never remember how I left everything just for the sake of living with you! But what do I get? Only the wife does not know in profit!" reno said explosively when remembering how hurt he was in Rini's stay.

Rini spoke a thousand languages. I want him to tell all the facts. But, his mouth felt like it was full of glue. It turned out so hurt when accused like that by the person he loved.

Inside the room, Neina and Leindra who heard her parents' quarrels grew more and more confused. Of course they are happy because they know they still have a papa. And the name of the children must have crossed their minds to see their Papa's house which may be bigger than their Mama's house. Moreover, Reno lured with all what Neina and Leindra wanted he would immediately give.

However, their mother was the one closest to them. Because, Rini had been taking care of them all along. Without ever getting tired Rini continues to work and work to meet all the needs of her children. Especially when Leindra is experiencing Leukemia. There was no jaded word to always accompany and take care of all things for Leindra while still talking about Neina. How much love Rini has for her children.

And now, Neina and Leindra came out of the room. They found a deal. And the determination is...
