Neina and Leindra
Chapter 6. Pretends

Rini and Leindra are busy looking for Neina. They screamed for Neina's name inside the mall. But, they still could not find Neina. Rini looked at Leindra's already pale face. Maybe Leindra was already very exhausted, he thought.

Rini offers to carry Leindra. Leindra initially refused. But Rini kept pushing him. And because Leindra also actually felt really tired he finally wanted to be carried. Even though he could not bear to see his mother who seemed to be looking for Neina while holding Leindra.

“Ma, i.it's Neina!”, exclaimed Leindra who saw Neina with someone.

Rini looked at where Leindra's hand was pointing. And when he felt sure that what he saw was Neina, he immediately rushed to him.

“Neina!”, call Rini when it's near.

Neina turned to Rini and she smiled and waved her hand like nothing had happened and did not feel guilty either. And, the same person as Neina also turned her body towards Rini. Rini widened her eyes as soon as she saw the man. Yes, he is Reno.

Reno also smiled at Rini and Leindra. Then, he waved his hand as well and told the two people to come closer to him. It was beyond expectations for Rini. Something's wrong with Reno. Why is he so cheerful when yesterday he was so angry with him. Has Reno changed her mind? Rini wondered in her heart.

Yes, inevitably Rini also walked closer to him. This was also for the sake of taking Neina from him. He was very envious when he saw Neina who was tightly grasping Reno's hand.

“Neina, why did you leave so without saying Mama?”, asked Rini who was upset.

“Sorry Ma, Neina lupa”, answers plain.

“Come home!”, said Rini by pulling Neina's other hand without lowering Leindra.

“Wait!”, between Reno.

Reno looked at Neina who did not want to part with her. Then, he smiled at Neina as if saying “calm, I will help you”.

“Don't rush it dong. Poor Neina, she seems to miss me. How about we sit back and relax first. Oh yes, this is for Neina”, said Reno sounded friendly and gave ice cream to Neina. “And this, for Leindra”, he said again.

However, Leindra shook her head. There was a sense of discouragement in Reno. By looking at Leindra, it seemed like she would be difficult to conquer. Not like Neina who likes it.

“Then, this is for you. Vanilla chocolate ice cream, right?”, said Reno with a smile.

Rini continued to stare at Reno sharply. Then, he took the Reno gift. If only there were no children there, he would not have accepted. There's something strange about Reno right now. Rini squinted her eyes to look at Reno.

But, it seemed like Reno knew what was on Rini's mind. He smiled again at Rini's behavior. Then, he spent some money to pay for the ice cream. And invited Rini to sit at a restaurant there.

“Ayolah.”, persuade Reno because Rini looks not want to follow her wishes.

“Oh yes, Leindra why is it carried on?”, Reno asked Leindra with a sweet smile.

Reno noticed Leindra's pale countenance. It looks like something happened to Leindra. But, if you ask Rini, surely Rini will not tell him.

“Yaudah, if so let Om, the carrying Leindra. Poor Mama right, looks tired so much”, persuaded Reno.

“No need!”, replied Rini.

But, Leindra saw the face of her mother who did look tired. Leindra really doesn't have to. And if to walk again, there he can faint and will be more troublesome. Finally, inevitably Leindra also let go of Rini and alternately struggled in Reno's sling.

Rini grunted in annoyance. But, Reno just smiled. A smile filled with victory. Then, Reno also took Neina up to her body to carry her. Of course Neina cheered happily. They also walked to the restaurant. And Rini's in living alone way in the back.

Rini felt like crying at that moment. He could not imagine if his two children would be taken by Reno. Like the one in front of him now. Reno takes Neina and Leindra and takes her away.

A few moments later, they arrived at the destination. Reno deliberately sat her two children in front of her so that she could see him continue. And yes, inevitably Rini had to sit next to Reno. Know no? Right now Rini's heart is actually not careless. Actually, Rini doesn't hate Reno. But, he was forced to keep a rarity with Reno. So yes, what is felt right now is a heart that is pounding but he hides deeply.

They also ordered food. Yes, Neina happily ordered everything she wanted. Burger, fries, steak, meatballs and many more. Reno gaped at him. It turned out that Neina's appetite was quite high.

“I order nasi goreng aja, mbak”, said Rini to the waiter.

“Oh yes mbak, fried rice is spicy yes. And do not need to put any vegetables only use omelet aja”, said Reno unconsciously.

Rini looked at Reno's face. He was shocked to hear Reno's words that did not forget what he liked. And Reno realized that she seemed to care about Rini.

“Listen, don't GR just yet! I'm kind to you like this just in front of the kids. I don't want to hurt them” Reno whispered to Rini.

Ah, Reno did not know that Rini's heart was broken hearing Reno's words. But Rini has to be strong. He cannot be found out if he is still...

“I know that! Did you see your ice cream? I threw it away. Don't think I'd accept your gift, either. Otherwise in front of the children I also males close to kamu”, reply whispered Rini who no less hurtful Reno.

Reno smiled wryly. And suddenly his phone rings. He saw his mother's name on the screen. He immediately raised the call.

“Halo Ma, what's up?” reno said lazily while listening to his mother's reply. “Mama is calm. I'm kind. Very good even. Because I'm with my kids. Yes Ma, my children. It was Ma. I want to continue with them again”, said Reno and ended the call just like that.

While across the street, Ratna was feeling restless and hot. He really does not accept if Reno is close again to Rini and her children.

“Bigger! How dare Rini not keep her promise! This I can't let! I'll teach him a lesson! And I have to think of a way for Reno not to get close to them anymore!”, he said angrily and hatefully to Rini.
