Space And Time
Distrusting

"Ma..." The Emperor suddenly hugged Anika from behind who was at that moment cooking.

"Hm? Why son?" Anika asked by turning her head.

The emperor let go of his embrace and helped Anika cook, the young man who was known for his hard disposition turned out to be quite adept with kitchen affairs.

While helping Anika, the Emperor invited the middle-aged woman to talk, "Ma, if I continue S2 abroad what do you think about mama?"

Anika was stunned for a moment to hear the question from her only son, "Do you want to?"

Anika was quite surprised because during this time the Emperor was very difficult to be persuaded to continue his education abroad, the reason is because the young man did not want to leave Anika alone, and always wanted to be beside his mother.

"You seriously want to, son?" Anika.

"Of course, the Emperor is not sure either, but this might be the best option." The Emperor replied in a weak voice.

Anika realized that something had happened to the Emperor, from the way she spoke to him as usual. After making sure all the dishes were ready, Anika then brought all her dishes to the dining table with the help of the Emperor.

"Eat first son, we'll talk later." Said Anika while preparing lunch for the Emperor.

The Emperor was already full because he had already eaten with Adel. But the Emperor did not feel good about rejecting Anika's invitation, let alone Anika herself who had prepared everything.

"A little ma." Pinta Emperor.

"Yes." Yeah." Anika replied briefly, despite confirming the Emperor's request, the middle-aged woman actually made the Emperor's plate full of food.

The emperor widened his eyes to see the contents of the plate too much, "Ma... It's too much." Her speech.

"Although upset, you must keep your diet, do not support reducing food." Anika answered and handed over a plate full of rice to the Emperor.

"Through? Who's the gal-"

"Have eaten, finished everything, be careful if it doesn't run out." Said Anika who cut off the words of the Emperor.

The Emperor stared at his plate and stomach in turn, how not did he just eat and now have to be faced again with a plate full of rice.

Despite his complaints, the Emperor still finished his lunch without remaining.

"It's full." Said the Emperor, he was already sitting leaning back with a warp while patting his protruding belly.

"So said most of it, but it's not even left alone." Tempta Anika who felt funny saw her son's satiety.

"Ke ahead first ma." The young man then walked into the family room.

The emperor threw her body onto the sofa until Anika came to him.

The emperor sat down with a limp expression, he was silent for a while and then let out a long sigh to start the conversation, "Ma, can't Kai be happy huh Ma?"

"Hey, what do you mean? Everyone deserves to be happy, son, including you mama's son." Anika calms.

"Why? What's up, try a slow story." Anika.

"Emperor has told mama, right after graduating from college, Kai wants to be engaged to Nara?"

"You broke up?" Anika asked who could already guess the direction of the Emperor's story.

The Emperor was drowned, his eyes reddened but not a single drop of tears flowed, "Yes ma." Answer in a weak voice.

"Why? What happened between you?"

"Nara sel-" the Emperor was silent for a moment not continuing his words.

"Ah no, I can't tell my mom that Nara is cheating, I'm afraid she's traumatized when she hears that." The Emperor said from the heart.

Anika frowned, "Cell? What cell is it, son?"

"Ah i-it, Nara has always made the same mistake ma." The Emperor answered with a stern.

Anika nodded in understanding what the Emperor meant, "Emm mama understands what you mean, it is not good in a relationship, and makes the relationship unhealthy. But Mama wanted to ask, you guys talked about it before, right?"

The Emperor just stared at Anika in silence not knowing what to answer, because that was not the reason their relationship ended.

"It's okay if you don't answer, but I'm sure you're all grown up and I believe you can take the right steps and decisions for your relationship." Anika.

The middle-aged woman let out a long sigh and continued her words, "Son, mama is already affectionate and thinks of Nara as your own daughter, but if you can't continue your relationship, whatever your decision mama must support as long as it's the best."

"Thank you ma..." The Emperor smiled in relief after telling Anika a story.

"If there's anything, don't mention the story to Mom. Don't keep it to yourself, you still have a mama who will help you as much as possible."

The Emperor lowered his head, he indeed could not tell Anika any problems, afraid that her mother would worry about her.

"On studying abroad, you think once again carefully, not because of your heartbreak to make a hasty decision, it is not good for the future." Anika.

"Yes ma, sorry." Emperor Saying.

"It's okay, just take a break to calm down."
