"In that case, I left first there are still many items that I have to deliver." Pamit Rendra to Anika.
"Please." Anika answered briefly.
At the gate, Rendra passed by the Emperor who was his only child, the young man immediately stopped his motorbike when he saw the middle-aged man who had not heard his name for five years.
"Father!" The emperor said from behind the helmet he was wearing, he widened his eyes in shock.
While Rendra, he did not know that the young man who passed him was the Emperor, considering the face of the Emperor who was still covered by the black-glazed helmet. Rendra looked at the Emperor for a moment then looked at Anika who was still standing on the porch of the house alternately.
"Could possibly... Is he Anika's new husband?" He murmured in his heart. Rendra did not have the courage to ask Anika the sassy thing, considering this was the first time they had met after being separated for so many years, he simply greeted the Emperor with a friendly smile and nodded his head then left with his butut motor.
The Emperor still silently looked at Rendra who had left, until he was lost from sight, then the young man put his motorbike into the garage of the house. The young man immediately took off his helmet and just put it on the bike just like that, then the young man immediately approached Anika who was smiling towards him.
"So Kai didn't look wrong, did he, Ma?" The Emperor immediately asked the question without making small talk first.
The smile that had been gracing Anika's lips instantly faded away, the middle-aged woman replied with an unpredictable look on her face, "Yes, she's your Papa."
"****!!! What else would the man want to come here? Do you know where we're from Ma?!" The emperor did not stop cursing, the emotions he had buried deeply now rekindled his words.
"Kai... You can't be like that, Mama often said what are you? You can hate it but he's still your parent." Anika advised the Emperor with a firm face and tone of voice.
"Please Ma, answer! What was Mama doing?" This time the Emperor's tone of voice trembled, the young man looked so worried about Anika, how not, the fear of losing the only person most precious once filled his chest.
The Emperor examined Anika's body, from top to bottom, he was so afraid that Rendra had behaved badly to the middle-aged woman.
"Kai, Mama did not why, son, earlier your father delivered a package order Mama. He now works as a package courier." Anika tried to explain on the sidelines of the Emperor's anxiety.
"Courier package?" Ask slowly.
"Yes, he had said that he had just moved to this city after previously working in his hometown first, in your grandmother's city. But since there was one thing or another, he eventually moved to this town and it might be a coincidence that we would meet again."
The Emperor laughed softly, a laugh that sounded terrifying, "Newly moved? A coincidence? Mama believes that's the same? Come on Ma! We know what kind of man he is, he's good at giving even reasonable excuses like Mana just said."
"Son, it's not like that really, this is proof that the package delivered really has Mama."
The young man turned his face annoyed then said, "Don't be a package courier, so PLN officer also he can Ma, in this day and age we can be anything to achieve our goals. If it's all just his wits how? If it turns out that he's been stalking us all this time and then he pretends to be a package courier and disrupts our lives again how is Ma?! Don't you want that to happen to us?!"
"Son..." Anika tried to explain back but the Emperor would not listen at all.
"Udah Ma, enough. The Emperor doesn't want to hear anything else, let alone anything to do with the man who ruined Mama's life." The Emperor sighed heavily before continuing his words, "It was possible that the Emperor was still a high school boy who always obeyed what Mama said, but now that Kai has grown up, Kai has been able to differ which is wrong and right, and which is right, and this time please, give Kai a chance to protect Mama, please don't easily trust the same people who have been evil to us."
Anika sat her head inside softly she said, "Sorry..."
Seeing Anika like that the Emperor knitted his body to hug the middle-aged woman, for a moment there was a feeling of regret enveloping his heart as he had previously spoken rudely and the young man who hugged Anika said in a soft voice, "Sorry Ma, Kai does not want to lose Mama, Kai is afraid of the events that used to happen again, Kai will not let Mama sad even if the tip of the nail."
Anika sank her face into the Emperor's chest, she shook her head then said, "No boy, Mama is not angry. Mama just feels guilty about you." Anika said with a sigh from crying.
"Please Ma, from now on if there's anything, contact the Emperor immediately." Said the young man while gently stroking Anika's hair.
"Yes, son."
The handsome young man let go of his embrace and then invited Anika to enter the house.
