The Imperfect Story
Chapter 39

Maybe for others dating is a memorable thing so choose a romantic and classy place, so, in contrast to Rey who actually invited Kia on a date to eat at an angkringan located on the edge of the road so that they can see the beautiful night sky under the towering building and the glittering lights produced by a passing vehicle.

The woman was still staring at the beautiful scene, occasionally she smiled, either because of what could make her feel happy. It was because he had never been to that place.

"Aren't you ashamed, I can only bring you here." Rey asked breaking the silence between them. Shortly thereafter two servings of fried rice whose smoke was still billowing was presented on the table they faced.

"Then why?" Kia asked back with a gaze pointing to the food that had been served. It seemed tempting, making Kia swallow the saliva perched in the throat.

"Yes, people would usually take their date friends to an expensive restaurant, bring him a few flowers or other gifts. You look at me, don't bring any presents and instead invite you to eat on the side of the road like this." Rey scratched her back head while blushing embarrassed.

"I'm not a young man anymore, Rey. Even my age is three heads. It is not suitable if you have to accept treatment that is not at his age." said Kia giggled amusedly to hear the words of the man in front of him.

"Haish, if in the drama they'd love to get treated like that, why would you laugh at it?" ask Rey who is also chuckling.

"The drama isn't as beautiful as reality, Rey. Even I regret that I once felt that the drama I watched would happen in my life. Huh! It feels so childish of my old self." Kia sighed, then shamelessly, Kia started eating fried rice that was not so hot. Realizing that, Rey laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" Kia frowned. With a mouth that is busy chewing.

"I'm sorry, most of the time I've forgotten to tell you to eat. Fortunately what I brought was you, if someone else might not have touched this food before I told him to." Rey's tease made Kia put down her spoon and refused to continue her eating session. Kia relaxed her body and the look on her face turned flat.

"Do I look so shameless?" Kia was shaking her lips.

"Sorry, I'm just kidding, Kia" said Rey put on a sorry face as soon as Kia's lips were attracted, then ate back the food.

"Here you go, eat fast. Do not hesitate." said Kia welcome ala-ala people who entertain guests. Rey followed Kia's orders with a smile.

After satisfied eating and looking at the night view in the middle of the city, Rey invites Kia to walk around somewhere. The car that is brought if you can talk, may complain of dizziness because it is invited to spin around without knowing the direction and purpose.

"Where are you taking me now? It's getting late, Rey." asked Kia as Rey crossed the road to her house first.

"Let's rob" Rey said, making Kia laugh.

"It's exciting, where are we robbing?" Kia turned her gaze left and right.

"To your house." Rey stopped her car in front of the house.

"I miss my son. The child who was not born from my womb, yet I thought of it as my own flesh and blood." a few words came out of Kia's mouth, along with her tears that fell.

"I took care of her day and night, in order to provide her with nutrition, I was willing to go back to the hospital to be able to get my breast out. I did everything sincerely, because I wanted a child to be present in my life."

"When Zayn was sick, I was the first to worry the most. I take care of him and I take care of him until he recovers, then I can smile again."

"At work, if I'm not busy, I take him out for a walk. I imitate my father's busy nature, trying to stay there for his son. Because he once said, the child will be beside us until old age, so try to make a sense of security for your child so that he feels he needs you."

"Every year goes by, I never miss his birthday. I dare postpone meetings for the sake of that day." Kia revealed everything in her heart, while Rey looked at and listened to Kia carefully, her admiration for this woman increased again and again.

"I miss him, I want to see him right now" Kia said as she opened the car door to surprise Rey. Afraid that Kia would do nothing, she followed.

"What do you want to do, Kia?" tanyanya held Kia's arm.

"I just want to look at her room, Rey. Relax!" Kia pointed her palm towards Rey after it turned around and looked at Zayn's dark-looking room, perhaps Zayn was already asleep, she thought.

"Mama misses, Zayn. Without seeing you, Mama is not a problem, can visit here even Mama was relieved." he said without taking his eyes from there.

"Mama promised to come back here. We'll stay together again after all the business is done. Pray for Mama to win this case, yes." said the cover that Kia said, she turned to look at Rey with her eyes welled up.

"Let's go home, Kia" said Rey, taking Kia's hand and leading her into the car.

Before the car engine was turned on, a car that they were very familiar with also passed to the yard of the house. Ishmael came down with a shining face, followed by a smiling Vita looking at her husband from across the car.

Before long, Zayn got out of the passenger seat, his expression looking ordinary. But being able to make Kia's heart full, isn't this the dream she once wanted, even told Vita.

Ah, it feels like all his dreams are as slow as Vita is making it happen.

"Rey, let's go home" said Kia holding sobs by cupping her face with her palm.

Unknowingly, Rey's tears fell along with the sight she saw was painful. Not because of jealousy towards Vita happy with Ismail, but because of the pain suffered by Kia. His heart was broken as he understood all the things that were happening to the woman sitting next to him now.

Rey wipes her tears and turns on her car and brings Kia back home. It felt between relief and regret bringing Kia to visit the house.
