Her crying had already stopped, but the tightness in her heart was still felt to this day. Krystal was only able to duck on the edge of the mattress while squeezing her cold hands.

Kevin gives her a bedroom that is directly opposite Kai's room in front of her.

The room looked much more spacious and very luxurious compared to Krystal's room in a rented house.

"You likey?"

Krystal looked up, looking at Kevin who was standing in front of her, the girl smiled stiffly as she tried to let out her voice. "Krystal likes."

"Good, dad would be happy." Kevin then gently rubbed the top of Krystal's head, before returning to say. "Yaudah, you're sleeping, if there's nothing to say to me."

Krystal nodded in return.

Before actually getting out of Krystal's room, Kevin kissed the girl's forehead affectionately, which only made Krystal's head think again.

Did you do this to Kai?

Without saying his heart, Krystal was again touched by Kevin's next sentence. "Good night, son of a father."

Then the body disappeared from behind the door.

For a moment Krystal felt filled with the call. Son Father. Krystal has long wanted to be called that way, it turns out that it feels very soothing and soothing. But Krystal knew, she shouldn't be happy, she didn't deserve it.

Tok..

Krystal looked up as the door opened. Suddenly his body stiffened as soon as Grandfather Wira's face appeared from behind the door.

"Can grandpa come in?"

Krystal's reflex stood up, welcoming the old man who entered her room.

"The cirain is asleep." Said Grandfather while stepping inside. His increasingly old body made the middle-aged man a little difficult to walk. "Grandpa bothers ya?"

"No, cake." Krystal held the hand of the Wira's grandfather to help her sit on the edge of the mattress.

"Why does the bellyball sleep?"

"Belom is sleepy." Reply Krystal.

Grandpa Wira smiled. "It's not because the place isn't comfortable, is it?"

Krystal hurriedly shook her head. "No, Krystal likes her room."

"Thank God, I hope you're at home." Said Grandfather Wira while holding Krystal's hand, the old man patted her gently on the back of his hand. "You look a lot like Alisa ... Your smile reminds grandfather of your mother."

Grandpa Wira looked at Krystal's face fixedly, her eyes slightly teary as she recalled the twelve-year-old she met at the orphanage in Bandung.

Krystal's face is very similar to Alisa's. His face, nose, and lips. All that makes Grandpa Wira miss his little girl.

"You have brought down all the qualities of Alisa. Your mother was very cheerful, smiling, and always polite to everyone she met."

I don't know when Krystal's tears started. It was very tight to hear his mother's name being called, let alone along with the memories he had never felt.

"Grandfather was really very surprised today. Kevin never told me if he had a child from Alisa. Grandpa felt like he failed to educate her."

"Sorry, Cake." Lirih Krystal in the middle of her sobs.

Grandfather Wira shook his head while stroking Krystal's shoulder. "It's not your fault. The wrong grandfather, the grandfather who couldn't educate Kevin well." There was a pause before Grandfather Wira continued his sentence. "Alisa must have been tormented all along."

Krystal is getting sobbing. His tears are flowing more and more. The Hero Grandfather who saw that immediately hugged Krystal's shoulder tightly, trying to calm the girl down.

"May grandfather ask you something?"

Krystal pulled away, then wiped her tears before nodding her head.

"You're the same Kai .. Is there a relationship?"

The girl flinched with both eyeballs that were perfectly widened. His throat was immediately choked at hearing the question. It felt as if Krystal's entire body was heating up, she perfectly understood what Grandfather Hero meant. Krystal understood the meaning of the question.

For one question that bothered his feelings, Grandpa Wira had already gotten that answer through Krystal's falling tears.

Kai looked blankly out the window in his room. He never thought that Kevin would bring Krystal into the house so soon. Especially without telling Grandpa Wira first.

Kai felt this was too fast and rushed. Kai thought Kevin would take a while to bring Krystal home, or at least until she had the strength to repair her heart.

At a few seconds in the middle of him staring out the window, Kai thought about his mother's condition. About her mother's feelings at this time. Is her mother okay. How the woman accepted this reality.

As if he could not control his heart. Kai thought back to Krystal. What is the girl doing. How far he has destroyed it. Or how many tears Krystal had shed.

Kai was in a dilemma.

"Hi handsome boy."

He turned his head, finding Morena coming into his room with a bottle of alcohol. The woman smiled at him, then sat on the edge of the bed with a rough sigh.

"I don't think drinking here will get caught by your grandfather." Morena said with a smile, but the more Morena smiled, the more sadness was evident on her face.

Kai clucked. Staring dislike at the bottle that was in Morena's hands. Always like that, Morena would definitely vent her pain by drinking alcohol.

"Grandpa you're rece, make mama can't be free to drink." Morena said as she opened the bottle.

The woman downed the bottle, letting the drunken liquid down her throat.

Kai simply observed Morena from her place without even making a sound. Then she walked over, and began to lay her body on the bed.

For a moment only silence occurred between the Mother and the Child. Kai closed his eyes tightly trying to cast out the shadow of Krystal lodged in his head. No, he can't think of Krystal anymore. He had to leave the girl to kill his feelings.

"Do you know when?" Morena asked as she played the bottle in her hand.

Kai's eyes opened and then blinked heavily. Still lying with both hands as a cushion, Kai looked up at the ceiling of his room.

Morena sighed before returning to ask. "Are you all right?"

"Now is not the time for you to think of me."

"Keep mama thought who else if not think of mama's son?" The woman chuckled, as if she was trying to look fine in front of her child.

"I told you once that I hate to see my mom smile like that." Kai inched to sit up, looking at his mother who was looking down on her head. "Well, just don't think about me once. You also have to think about your own feelings. I knew all this time that my mom had survived because she thought of me, thinking about my future. Mama's tormented. I know that."

Morena pressed her fingers against the glass bottle of alcohol on her hand. The woman chose to throw her face in another direction, as long as she did not see Kai.

"Mah .. I'm fine. I can take care of my feelings. It was time for my mom to think of herself. Stop looking good. If mama is like gini, mama is like me. I don't need anything, Mah. All I ever needed was mama, not freedom."

Morena turned her head, looking at Kai guiltily. "Mama's son is already great, yes, I'm talking now."

"Mah!"

"Mama's fine, Kai." Morena touched her son's head, staring wistfully at the adult figure she had almost forgotten for seventeen years. "Sorry if you used to be busy yourself until you forgot. Mama loves you such freedom, wishing you could find your own happiness, but mama's wrong, all you need is family."

His eyes were teary, his heart throbbing in pain. Morena has gone through a lot of time without knowing the development of her child, it turns out that the child she gave birth to seventeen years ago is already this big, has grown up. Where he's been all this time.

"Kai.kidanya you, happy mama too." Morena clasped his son's hand, then stroked it fondly. "Since I saw Krystal in your apartment, I felt like I wanted to say thanks to her, I finally saw your smile again. Mama's son who was always passionate and emotional, now turned into more mature and wise."

"Mah.."

Morena wiped away her tears. "See Krystal today in the house really makes your heart hurt, it's broken. Why should the child? Why should a woman who can make your child smile .. things you can't do for you."

"Mama doesn't know what to behave like with him. Should you hate it or vice versa." Morena patted Kai's back gently. "But come to think of it .. not Krystal is wrong. He doesn't deserve that kind of treatment, let alone you."

Kai fell silent, the corner of his heart raging. It is true that her mother said, Krystal was too valuable to be a victim of hatred for the mistakes of her parents in the past. But, all this Kai did was also solely for self-defense so that he could quickly kill all his feelings.

"Mom knows what your relationship with Krystal used to be like. Everything was too shocking, suddenly heavy and very painful. But ... This is indeed the path that you must pass, this is your destiny as Krystal." Morena hugged Kai's body, rubbing his son's back affectionately. "Now is not the time for you to think about your mother's feelings. You ... You're much sicker, Kai."

It was true what Morena said, this was too painful. Kai must face two realities at a time. The woman he hated the most was the same person he loved the most. Then, it was as if fate was playing tricks on him again. Kai and Krystal must be separated by the blood that flows between them.

"Mah.." Kai tightened his arms around Morena's body. He had never been this weak before, he was like losing his way and having no other purpose.

Kai was crying in his mother's arms.

"I'll accept grandfather's offer."
