The Imperfect Story
Chapter 30

The light of the sun forced its way through the sidelines of the curtains of the room, seemingly somewhat deliberately to force Rey to wake up from her sleep. Rey blinked her eyes, staring at the ceiling of the room first while collecting the life that was still not fully filled in her body.

A minute, two minutes, up to tens of minutes his eyes rolled back. Soon his phone rang, Rey lazily picked up the phone.

"Yes, hello." he said with a hoarse voice ala-ala wake up.

"Rey, the judge just met me" said the woman across the street. Rey's eyes that had been narrowed now fiddle. Steady as his body sat leaning against the support of the bed, his face started to get serious now.

"Why did he meet you?" ask Rey.

"He handed me a piece of paper for me to sign." said Kia across the street with a sigh.

"What's it say?" ask Rey again.

Thirty minutes ago, as Kia got off and out of the hotel wanting to buy some food outside, a man walked up to her. He was none other than, and no, a judge.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" the judge asked, holding a map in his hand.

"Other than this? There's nothing we need to talk about!" said Kia ketus keep walking towards his destination.

"Come, Kia. Don't be this childish." persuade the judge.

"I'm childish? What about your client? Is he a straight man?" sela Kia does not accept to say that.

"You can't compare, Kia. Because he is superior to you." said the Judge while showing his mocking smile.

"Curtain! You guys are the same. Equally crafty!" Kia throttled in annoyance, she continued to walk dodging but the Judge blocked her wrist firmly.

"How dare you! Let go, or I'll yell at the thief, let everyone catch you!" threaten Kia until the Judge releases the cheque and raises both hands on the surrender sign.

"Okay, I mean my purpose here is because I just want to ask for your autograph" the judge said.

"What signature?" tanya Kia formed a frown on her forehead because she did not understand.

"Just divorce, nothing special." he said calmly.

"For what? Didn't you guys take care of it?" ask Kia astonished.

"It's been handled by Ismail, but you haven't signed it yet" the judge said in embarrassment.

"Hahaha, let me handle it myself. You're all stupid!" Kia walked away after swearing at the judge.

"Remember! You won't get anything if you don't sign this, Kia!" he shouted before Kia disappeared from his sight.

"So you didn't sign it?" ask Rey.

"Yes, I'll sign it if they want to hand Zayn over to me." said Kia confidently.

"But you know, don't you, that Zayn isn't your real son?" ask Rey again.

"Yes, I know, Rey. But you know, I took care of it from the baby. He is not a child born from my womb. But I think of him as the son I once conceived, the one who breastfed and bestowed my love and affection on Zayn. He's my son, Rey." Kia's voice rattled out, and then the sobbing came back. Kia is crying right now.

"I don't care about the treasure they took, I just want Zayn to be mine again, Rey. I can't live without Zayn." added Kia. I don't feel Rey's tears coming.

"We're gonna fight it until we get Zayn, so stop crying 'okay? I'll help you." Rey told Kia.

"Thank you, Rey. Without you I can't do anything for now. After all these cases are over I promise to serve you to repay your kindness." Kia said without consideration.

"Don't tell me, you're gonna make me a maid?" Kia.

"Maybe more than that." Rey kept teasing him.

"Don't be too cruel, Rey. Or I'll pull out all my words again!" threaten Kia's.

"No way, Kia. Your words I've recorded. That's hard evidence, I can sue you for breaking it." Rey threatened to.

"Rayhan!!!" kia shouted loudly, until Rey kept the phone away from her ear while laughing crisply.

"Okay, sorry, I was just teasing you. I don't like to hear you cry. Now remove those tears, from here alone I can imagine how ugly your face is now from crying." Rey back to teasing the woman.

"Just kid! Who's crying, I'm just having a cold." he's kind of whipping and sounding loud on the phone until Rey laughs again.

"Sorok! Now wash your face and calm your heart." Rey said.

"Yes, yes, bawel. You're like the late mother who nags at me when crying. She would definitely say something like that." Kia smiled in memory of Mother.

"Oh, huh? Fine, I'll replace your mother from now on." Rey said.

"Okay, Mom." I heard a little noise from across the street.

"Not so is the concept, Kia!" said Rey.

"Yes, sorry Rey. By the way, thanks for everything. I am so helped by your presence by my side." Kia said sincerely.

"Together, Kia. It's natural to help each other. Go there, have breakfast first. I want to continue my sleep that you had disturbed." Rey said as she rolled herself back in the blanket.

"Oh, my God, Rey! It's nine o'clock!" yell Kia again.

"Well! Oh my God, I'm late!" Rey stood up and checked the clock on her phone turned out to be correct at this time already showing at nine. He slapped his forehead with his palm.

"Basic! Yes, I turned it off. Remember to shower before you leave. Hahahaha." ledek Kia and immediately decided on the call.

"Basic chick!" Rey put her cell phone on the table and rushed to take a shower.

Meanwhile, at Ismail's residence, the judge brought hard news for him.

"Why wouldn't he sign it? Does he have any special requests?" ishmael asked, squeezing his own hand.

"I think you know best what Zaskia wants." The judge slid his shoulder.

"I know what he wants most!" sidelines Bella from the kitchen to approach her sister-in-law.

"Surely Zayn, right?" added again.

"Smart, a hundred for you." The judge raised two thumbs to Bella.

"I'll never give Zayn to anyone else!" sahut Devita came down the stairs in a hurry.

"Other people? If I may say, Zayn is including Kia's son. Who told you to throw it away." said Bella while playing nails.

"Shut your mouth, Bella. Do you want me to get out of here, too?" snapped Vita with reddened eyes.

"It's wrong, it's still true." - Bella grumbled in her heart.
