Not an Ordinary Widower
Chapter 44 Venita's Rage
Venita was surprised to hear the narration from Kenzo. She did not expect that her son had suffered so much because of his selfishness with her husband.
It was not only Venita who was surprised to hear the story from Kenzo. Even Rosalina who is not familiar with Levia feels very sorry for Kenzo.
It was only fitting that he had suffered all this time if he was close to Chintya. It turned out that there was a story behind it all, Rosalina said in her heart as she looked at the upset-faced Kenzo telling her story with his late wife.
Baby Chintya was very picky this time. He was busy playing rubber toys next to Rosalina. It was as if he was listening to a story about his life.
"I'm sorry Mama Ken, Mama doesn't know if she-"
"It's Ma, it's over and I've found my love, my heart's choice" Kenzo said, clasping Rosalina's hand beside him.
Venita notices Kenzo and Rosalina. In his heart he was grateful if his son could find a woman who could steal his heart. It's just that he doesn't want to choose the wrong thing anymore. He didn't want to support Kenzo's decision just like that because he didn't know Rosalina as a whole. And most importantly, he did not want his son to be sad anymore because his household was not in accordance with everyone's expectations.
"Then what are your plans for Chintya?" venita asked with a probing look at Kenzo.
"Ken doesn't know Ma. We were supposed to be divorced and I didn't meet Chintya. But with the woman dead, our plans were all in disarray. I don't know what to do with Chintya. I only took care of her because of her request" Kenzo replied with a glance at the baby Chintya who was munching on her rubber toy.
"But he's not Ken's son" Venita said in annoyance.
She was very fond of baby Chintya, but when she heard the reality conveyed by Kenzo, made Venita who was upset with Levia and her family channeled it to baby Chintya.
"Ken knows Ma. But Ken was confused as to how. He's an innocent baby. And I don't know who his father is" Kenzo said, staring back at his mother.
"Why don't you just leave it to the old lady? They need to know that their granddaughter is not your son. So that later they can not demand anything from you Ken," said Venita who was enveloped with emotion.
"Then, what should I tell them Ma? Are they gonna believe Ken?" asked Kenzo with a sigh.
Honestly, if Kenzo would have done that, hand over the newborn baby Chintya to both of Levia's parents. It was just that there were so many things he had to consider. She must run the mandate of Levia and she must maintain her parents' good relationship with Levia's parents.
And more importantly, Kenzo feared that he might be lying and fabricated the story despite the handwriting evidence from Levia. If it wasn't Levia herself who told her parents, Kenzo doubted that they would believe her.
Kenzo sighed heavily. She did not expect that her honesty could make her mother very emotional.
Suddenly, Venita's cell phone rings. Soon he got up from his seat and left the place to receive the call.
Rosalina looked towards the chaotic-looking Kenzo. Slowly he raised his hand and clasped Kenzo's hand to calm him down.
Kenzo turned his head towards Rosalina as Rosalina's hand clasped her hand. And when he saw Rosalina smiling at him, he immediately grabbed Rosalina's body into his arms.
"I'm sorry if I told you to get closer to Chintya even though I know you can't see her or be close to her. If I had known, I wouldn't have asked for that. I just want you to get closer to him because he's your son. And now that I understand, you no longer need to be close to Chintya if you don't want to. Let me take care of her, because she's my responsibility as her baby sitter" Rosalina said, rubbing Kenzo's back to calm her down.
"When I saw Chintya's face, it was like I saw her face. And being close to Chintya reminds me of that woman, her lies and my hatred for her. And one more thing, do you remember when I was sick and you took care of me until I recovered? That's because you asked about her. The hatred for that woman traumatized my sleep causing me such pain. It's always like that. And I'm grateful that now there are you who can always be the medicine in my pain" said Kenzo who is still in a position to cuddle with Rosalina.
Then he broke off his little embrace. And looked at Rosalina's face, as if she was memorizing every part of the face of that girl.
"I love you Rosalina. Please don't leave me, no matter what," said Kenzo, looking seriously into Rosalina's eyes.
Slowly Kenzo's face approached Rosalina's. Instantly Rosalina's eyes closed and she felt a chewy object touch her lips. Kenzo's lips kissed Rosalina's lips, just sticking it up because the baby Chintya immediately let out her voice after a while Kenzo and Rosalina kissed.
Venita heard and saw everything. She even smiled when she saw Kenzo and Rosalina kissing. In her heart she approves of Kenzo and Rosalina's relationship as long as her son is happy. Because only this time he saw his son was not being indifferent to women. It was even romantic when he saw it.
Venita's phone rings again. This left Kenzo and Rosalina shocked. They both looked towards the direction where Venita was.
It turns out that the one who contacted Venita was Dina, the sister of Dino, Kenzo's best friend. Dina reports to Venita about Rosalina who she thinks seduces Kenzo to be made a wife by Kenzo, so Rosalina can control Kenzo's treasure.
Venita doesn't just believe in Dina and she doesn't just believe in Rosalina either. Kenzo's household failure made Venita more selection in accepting her son-in-law.
He has his own way of finding out everything. And he already knew some information about Rosalina. Just a few, in a minute he'll figure it out for the rest. He wanted to know all about Rosalina. Whatever it was, he didn't want anything to hide from him.
