Ken turned his gaze to the street and started driving, not wanting to heed the sounds coming from behind.
"Take it they don't have Ken." he muttered softly. But still, even though Ken tried to ignore the air pollution, in fact his hearing senses clearly capture everything.
Ken plays music to distract his hearing, if he continues to hear it his single soul thrashes loudly.
Yes, Ken has never been in contact with any woman, there are rumors spread among his subordinates if he is gay. Of course not! he just doesn't want to experience heartache, for him it's better. And Ken considers Richard and his family his life.
The car also entered the courtyard of the modern-style magnificent house. Ken's glad he can breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ken!" the call from his young mistress made him turn his head.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" asked Shelia who deliberately had not come down from the car, Richard who had originally opened the car door to undo his intention to go down.
"Not got, Madam." Answer Ken honestly.
"Why? You're handsome! You're mapan! Adults." said Shelia.
Ken was silent, he only replied to Shelia with a faint smile on his lips, "Shelia Ayuk is down," Richard asked, he looked at Ken's eyes which muffled the sadness behind his smile. Only Richard knows Ken's past all along, but he keeps it well let all the time pass by.
"Shelia come on, Nici must be waiting for us." Richard repeated his words that Shelia had not ignored before, he was still waiting for Ken's reply.
Shelia turned her gaze to Richard and told him, she knew there must be a secret that Ken and Richard purposely covered. But yeah, maybe it's none of her business. Shelia nodded and grabbed Richard's helping hand, Richard grabbed onto Shelia's waist and stepped inside the house.
"Richard, what's the matter?" Richard silently seemed unwilling to answer the question that Shelia had placed on him.
Richard kissed the head of Shelia and said, "let's talk again, let's have dinner first." Richard clasped Shelia's palm and led her inside.
The day passed. But Shelia still could not get rid of the question in her mind about Ken's problem. Shelia was about to ask Richard again, he glanced at her husband who was wearing a white shirt in the dressing room.
"Why baby?" Richard seemed to realize that Shelia was watching him.
"About Ken, I'm still curious."
Richard walked over to Shelia who was sitting at the dresser, "honey, I don't want to answer your questions. Everyone has their own personal secrets, as do you or me. Ken is my subordinate as well as my closest friend, I have to keep a secret that my best friend has, if he wants to say it then he will tell you himself." Richard said as he kissed Shelia's head.
Shelia nodded and was forced to dampen the curiosity in her mind.
***
Niki walks casually into the school gate, she is an independent child unlike any other child who does not stop whining to be with her mother or caregiver during school. From a young age she was used to being independent, and she often helped with homework for Shelia.
At the end of the corridor Khanza was standing pecking, with eyes difficult to see.
Nici was a little curious about what Khanza noticed, he was staring in the right direction. A girl in a different uniform looks like they are whining at a middle-aged mother whom Niki believes is her Mother. The mother looked very fond of her spoiled daughter.
"Is she your mother?" nici asked, which made Khanza a little surprised. He was unaware of Nici's presence from the start.
Khanza looked down sadly, "she's my mother. But I'm not his son."
"If I were his son he would love me, right? But he only loved Big Brother" he lamented with a sad face.
Nici looked at Khanza and the two men alternated. Nici can only be quiet, she has no words to comfort Khanza at all.
"Let's go in" he said, for Khanza to distract him.
Khanza also followed Nici into class, but his face still looks moody.
Nici glanced at Khanza whose desk was not far from where she was sitting.
"Why should I care, it's none of my business" Nici murmured, but still she was a little curious about Khanza's troubles.
Daytime, after school is over. Nici was standing leaning against the wall while waiting for Ken to pick him up, a Lollipop he found in his mouth.
"Deliver! I told you you're not my daughter! Are you deaf?! I hate you! You're making me feel disgusted!" He said in a tone between upset, angry, and hate being one.
"W-w-would I really not be your daughter, ma'am?" ask a girl, sobbing.
"How many times should I say, huh?! You want to know the truth, don't you? Listen this is fine. You're just a child born to a woman******, who has snatched my husband!"
Bruk...!!
The girl fell on the floor.
"Well, is it appropriate for an adult like you to talk to a child like that!?" Nici said in an annoyed tone, he finally could not stand the bundle that Ibu Khanza lay on Khanza.
"Who are you? Don't interfere in my business!" he snapped with sharp glaring eyes, "it turned out that only a pretentious little boy wanted to be a hero," he was amused, he let out a mocking look, as well as his daughter who was beside him.
"It looks like you found Khanza's new friend!" said the little girl accompanied by a grin. Immediately Khanza's body twitched he got up from his seat and turned to look at Nici.
"W-what are you doing here? Get the fuck out of here! Don't interfere!" Khanza half-screamed.
"I don't like to see what they do to you. Why are you quiet?"
"That's none of your business! Stop meddling, and don't mind me!" Khanza lowered his head and walked away from Nici, he approached his mother who was carrying him earlier.
"Mother, can I come home with you?" the tone is full of supplications.
"Don't hope!" he snapped, as it passed.
Khanza looked down at the cement floor, tears melting from both corners of his eyes. Is this his fault? He did not want to be born from a different mother.
Khanza wiped away the tears that flooded his cheeks.
Nici pulls Khanza's hand so he follows his footsteps, "let me drive you home."
"No need," said Khanza weakly, he brushed Nici's hand from his hand, "I can go home alone, you better stay away from me. I don't want to get you in trouble."
