The Imperfect Story
Chapter 28

Kia negotiates with Wati to take Zayn away from them. But the old woman was very difficult to persuade.

"Go past my corpse, beautiful!" Wati tried to approach with arrogance.

"Are you not afraid that God will take your life in the dzolim, not necessarily the grave will accept your body!" kia replied.

"You!" Wati pointed at Kia's face furiously.

"Mama, I'm Mama's real son, right?" Zayn suddenly interrupted the debate while crying.

"Yeah, Zayn is Mama's son. If it's not Mama's son, how could mama take care of you from the baby. You're Mama's son, remember those words 'yes, honey." Kia answered loudly and firmly while rubbing the clear grain under Zayn's eyes. Kia's words made Vita's heart flinch.

"Hey, Kid! You're Vita's son, not this woman in front of you!" gertak Wati made Zayn even more frightened.

"Don't listen to this bad guy, honey. He deliberately scared you to keep us apart and live far apart." Kia calms Zayn down.

"Guards!" wati shouted and at that time some burly people came after hearing her master call.

"Take this woman out of my house!" teh Wati then left Kia and Zayn along with his guards who were in the yard, into the house.

"Mom don't leave Zayn!" Zayn pulled the edge of Kia's shirt. While Kia tried to release his hand from the clutches of the burly young man.

"Take me off! Let me say good-bye to my son for a while." his scrooge and the bodyguard also gave a moment for Kia to say goodbye to Zayn.

"Sorry, Honey. Maybe today Mama can't take Zayn away from here, but Mama will try any way, Zayn must follow Mama away. Now you're okay 'yes at home, wait till Mama picks up Zayn, okay?" persuade Kia to make Zayn nod obediently.  Although heavy heart, but the situation is very unfriendly so they have to continue to live it.

"Baby don't cry, yeah. Zayn has to be strong, he says he wants to take care of the people Zayn loves, meaning from now on Zayn has to keep your tears and health to Mama. Promise?" Kia gave her little finger then Zayn replied by giving her little finger and began to look at each other.

"A long time! Hurry up or I'll drag you away!" Wati shouted from inside the house.

Closing by kissing the Child's forehead, Kia got up and started darting out leaving Zayn who was still sobbing to let go. Before he completely moved away, Kia's mouth briefly said without a sound. 'Don't cry, wait for Mama.' Zayn nodded while wiping away the tears that had soaked his cheeks.

Wati came out of the house and dragged by pulling the collar of Zayn's shirt, occasionally he was jeweled the boy's ears, making Zayn grimace in pain.

"Let's see your son crying over his stepmother. What a fool you are, if this kid leaves here what will Ishmael do later, huh?" squealing Wati to Vita with a thunderous voice, if they were in the cave, it was certain that the creatures would go flying out.

"You too Zayn, just be careful if you just step out of the house, you will break your legs!" gertak Wati while moving away towards her own room.

"Sorry, Honey. You're getting angry with grandma." Vita wanted to stroke Zayn's head, but the boy scoffed violently.

"I hate Aunty!" Zayn pushed Vita's body firmly down the stairs to go back to her room.

"Oh Allah, Zayn my Son. Why are you the same mother, son?" she cried while staring at Zayn's departure.

Kia down the street on foot, his heart was either running around until he was unconscious for half a day walking he did not feel tired.

Suddenly he was startled by the sound of a black car horn behind him. Kia also turned to the left and right to make sure that he was not wrong way. The car restarted its horn but eventually Kia ran to avoid the car. Until the car followed Kia and lowered the windshield.

"Kia!" the man's scream made Kia turn her head.

"Come, up!" he and Kia nodded while opening the car door.

"I think the bad guys are after me." ledek Kia as she sat down and closed the car door.

"Such a handsome guy says bad guy?" Rey chuckles while stylishly showing off her face.

"Yes yes, the most handsome." said Kia while laughing.

Cars also drove splitting the highway that began to be crowded because the afternoon is the time for people to return home after a day of activity.

"Have you eaten?" rey asked when she saw a food stall.

"Not yet." said Kia briefly, he did not eat since morning.

"Then let's eat." Rey parked her car when she arrived at the food stall that read 'Mbok Food Stalls'.

They went down and picked a table near the wall. After they order food, Kia orders chicken and Rey orders chicken. Moments later their order came, Kia ate it very greedily. Rey could only shake her head while laughing softly.

"Why laugh?" kia asked as she rubbed her mouth with a tissue.

"Eat it slowly, no one is fighting with you." said Rey.

"Sorry, I'm so hungry. For a few days I had no appetite. Because it was time to meet Zayn so my appetite back again." said Kia again eating food.

"Yes, I know. I also saw you earlier." said Rey made Kia stop chewing and then sip her drink.

"Why are you there?" asked Kia curiously while washing her hands, Kia happened to eat using her hands.

"I'm just curious about their behavior towards you, it turns out that it's all true. They were indeed very cruel." Rey's face became sad.

"Well! I don't know, Rey, now I can only move on with the situation." Kia breathed her repeatedly.

"Come on, Kia. You gotta get up, don't give up, okay?" said Rey patting Kia on the shoulder.

"How is it, Rey? What do I have to do, Rey? He's my best friend, all about me he knows, there's not the slightest gap I cover. And Ishmael was so, I trusted him so much that I forgot the limit that not everything we have to express." said Kia, whose eyes re-energized.

"Yesterday I met Ismail" Rey said, playing a straw in her glass.

"Then?" tanya Kia was looking forward to the continuation.

"I really want to hit him." he said flatly.

"Then, why don't you just hit him. Ah, you're wrong for not taking me!" Kia cursed, her tears did not come out.

"If I take you, what do you do?" ask Rey, too.

"If there's a comrade in arms, I won't hesitate to beat him up." Kia clenched her hands.

"So what happened yesterday when I met him?" tanya Kia shifted to return to the original topic.
