"Hello, mom! Can we meet today after I get home from school?" Said a boy in a whispering voice even though he was in his room. He did not want anyone to listen to his secret conversation with a woman he had just called his mother.
"Goddess!" Simultaneously a heavy voice called out his name from behind the door of his room.
Kukklek...!
His father had already appeared in the doorway, Haikal hurriedly threw his phone towards the back after briefly turning off his phone connection. His face looked stiff as his father came to him.
Mr. Alvian screamed his forehead feeling bigung see his youngest son, Haikal who looked as if he was frightened when he saw it.
"Are you okay, son?" Ask her gently. With a slightly paled face, Haikal tried to nod his head.
"Let's have breakfast. You will be late for school. I'll wait below ya!" Said Mr. Alfian while smiling and patting Haikal's head slowly.
"Yes.well, I'll come down!" Haikal said with a faint smile. After his father left the room, Haikal breathed a sigh of relief.
Viiuha...
A moment later he immediately cleaned up the book he had prepared for him to put in his backpack. His face seemed to be thinking of something. Then he immediately went out of the room for breakfast downstairs, at the dinner table with his father and his men.
"How's your job at the office, son?" Father asked Orion at the dinner table and at the same time Haikal came and pulled a chair preparing to sit at the same dining table. For a moment he glanced at the seat next to him that was two days empty. That's Aska's seat. Her sister is having a camper show at her new high school in High School. And Haikal felt a little missed him.
"So far it's fine yah!" Orion chews food in his mouth. While Haikal has been seen busy smearing his bread with his favorite chocolate jam.
"Um.., great!" Mr. Alvian nodded and already seemed to finish his breakfast. "Then what about Ariana's college?" His eyes were now on his son-in-law who was sitting next to Orion.
"Alhamndulillah smoothly yah!" Ariana replied and then also nodded by Mr. Alvian.
"Good.., if all is well and all is well! Then Haikal, then let me pick you up at your school?" Dad's bargain was suddenly on Haikal.
Uhuk...
Suddenly Haikal choked. Mr. Alvian also swiftly took drinking water for his youngest son. Haikal was nervous because his father would not normally pick him up for school. He was used to being picked up by a private driver. Why did his father suddenly want to pick him up when he came home from school? is he suspicious? Haikal thought he was worried.
"You eat slowly, son, don't rush!" Said Mr. Alvian while holding a glass of water to Haikal's mouth.
"Why did you suddenly want to pick me up from school?" Haikal asked after his breathing had regained order.
Mr. Alvian smiled. "Yes.., now that you're retired and there's no job, you better pick you up at school, let me have something to do!" Alvian said with a smile.
Oh so because of that, I think because I suspected that I was going to meet someone this afternoon. Haikal breathed a sigh of relief.
Orion unintentionally glanced towards Haikal. Ansk has been quiet for a few days and as if something is hidden.
"You why deck! Why don't you like it so you want to be picked up with dad?" Sergey Orion without further ado and made Haikal immediately look excited again.
"Sister Orion, ngo-mong what?" Sahut Haikal. Ariana who was beside Orion immediately elbowed her husband's arm so as not to look at Haikal with an intimidating look.
"So I don't like people who lie!" Haikal's body froze at the words of his brother.
"Orion, don't be so with your sister!" Father rebuked Orion, who apparently could not be warned by his wife.
"Yes, sorry!" Orion rolled his eyes lazily.
Haikal was still silent, he did not want to respond to the words of his eldest brother. "I'll get to the car first, I'll leave!" Haikal then rose from his seat and grabbed his father's hand to shake his hand. He did not even look at Orion.
"Dih, that's how it's done. Big sambre!" Tempta Orion who only got a cold response Haikal. The boy did not seem to want to respond to his brother's words which were not funny to him at all.
"Why him, I think Aska's demon has moved to the boy!" Orion shook his head slowly feeling amused himself.
"You really, why do you like your own sister jahilin!" Grunts Ariana with an annoyed tone then immediately moved from her chair. Then turn the body of the table on the right side to say goodbye to his father-in-law who was sitting across from his seat.
"Ariana said yes!" Ariana kissed the back of her father-in-law's hand. Mr. Alvian replied to him with a nod while smiling, along with that Ariana glanced at her husband with the tail of her eyes with a cynical look. But Orion even seemed to not care, he still smiled and immediately finished the last mouthful of bread.
"I'm leaving too!" Who then stood up from his chair and beurususi put on his coat that was draped on the back of the chair.
"Be careful on the road!" Shouted Mr. Alvian when Ariana and Orion had walked out of the house.
*******
Home school.
When the school sign bell just rang. Haikal seemed to rush to clean up his school equipment which he then put in his backpack. After the teacher who taught him said his greetings. It also seems like he does not want to waste time. He left the class in a hurry. He has promised to meet someone now. And unfortunately the time is not much else, because suddenly his father proposed to pick him up when he came home from school. For that reason he must be clever to use the time to meet someone who often met him lately. He didn't want his act this time at his father's pergoki. He may not be allowed to meet that person again.
After walking in haste, he had finally reached the school gate. For a moment he looked around to ascertain whether his father's car had been seen in front of the school gate or not. After making sure everything was safe, he immediately ran across the street to reach a small cake shop located there.
He entered the small cake shop to meet someone who was waiting for him. The man smiled as he waved at Haikal and the boy approached him with a happy look.
"Have you been waiting for me for so long?" Haikal cried when he was at the table of the woman he called mother.
The woman just shook her head slowly and told Haikal to sit down.
"Sorry, Mom, before, I couldn't see you for long this time, because suddenly my dad was going to pick me up from school today!" Haikal said with a downcast face feeling sad.
"It's okay, even if you can only see you for a moment like now, mom, it's so happy!" The woman kept smiling despite feeling a little disappointed at not being able to stare at her son's face longer than usual.
That woman is named Fina. And he has opened his true identity in front of Haikal regarding who he really is. At first Haikal was disappointed to think the woman had the heart to leave him as a child. But thanks to Fina's patience to explain what really happened, that she did not really want to leave little Haikal, but she did so because she was very forced and had no other choice. And the true Heart of Haikal also longs for the figure of a mother to melt also in the end.
In recent weeks they have made frequent appointments to meet in this district. Usually he is accompanied by his second brother, Aska, who is currently in a camper with friends from his new school.
"Mother, I'm going! I'm afraid Dad's already in front of the school gate and can't find me there. And Dad's gonna call me right away, I don't know what to answer! I'm afraid he'll be suspicious of me because I'm not as good at lying as Aska's sister!"
Fina was forced to nod with a heavy heart. He could only see his son's face for about a minute.
But, as he had just moved out of his chair, Haikal's eyes were startled by the presence of someone who was now entering the small cake shop. Haikal could no longer escape. The eyes of the person who had just entered were now looking at him expressionlessly. Making his cold sweat come out by itself.
How did he know I was here?
SERIATE.
