The Imperfect Story
Chapter 43

After finishing her work, Devita drives her car home. It was late afternoon, he wanted to go home and rest his body.

Inside her room, Vita clenched her body until the sound of her bones sounded crisp in the ears.

"Ah, it feels like I haven't played with Zayn in a long time, so busy." Vita also intends to approach Zayn's room. 

"Zayn," he calls but Vita does not see Zayn's whereabouts.

"Maybe he's in the kitchen." Vita was still trying to think positively and rushed towards the kitchen. But the result is still the same, Zayn is not there.

Still with a calm mind, Vita saturates all the rooms there. Finally, the woman went out and looked for Zayn in the yard.

Because he still did not see his biological child, Vita's mind began to mix, his heart and mind began to fall apart. In the squeeze his own palm while continuously searching for Zayn's whereabouts.

"Zay!!" he shouted loudly, but there was no answer from the owner of the name.

Vita began to cry, her mind was confused to rush to pick up the car keys intending to visit Zaskia's house. Until in the middle of the road he just realized, even Kia's residence alone does not know. His phone was also left in the room. Inevitably, she was eventually forced to go back to the company, to meet her husband.

"Zayn's not home!" vita said as she opened the door to her husband's special room.

"How is it, instead of you keeping him at home every day? Maybe he's bored again, and now he's playing with Bella." said Ismail without taking his eyes off the computer screen in front of him.

"I'm serious, Mail. I've been looking everywhere but nothing!"

"Try you look at the school, who knows you drove him to school this morning and you forgot." said Ismail not so enthusiastic.

"No way, Mail. I haven't taken her to school in a while" said Vita, because she remembered not taking Zayn anywhere.

"It's your own fault, Vita. If you don't curb Zayn and let him go to school, maybe Zayn won't run away like this!" Ismail began to rise, his mind was complicated because of work and now he had to listen to the news of Zayn's loss.

"Oh, so you blame me!" vita's voice is no less high. A discussion also took place in the room.

"Yes, it's your fault! Your fault for the reason of fear that is not fundamental! It's your fault for over-straining our son!" snapped Ismail.

"You're saying my fear isn't fundamental? Cih, if it wasn't for your first wife wanting Zayn, would I have been scared?" Vita tried to rebel, because for him also this was not entirely his fault.

"Can't you, don't talk about other people in each of our problems?" ismail said while breaking the table made Vita shocked, but his emotions also ignited the woman.

"She's no one else, she's still your wife!" snapped it.

"Shit! What do you want now?" Ishmael stretched the tie around his neck. Tight, that was how it felt until he subconsciously uttered a harsh word the first time.

"Now look for Zayn see you. If you don't find it, don't expect to see me again!" Vita came out of the room slamming the door.

"Darling!" ishmael cried hoping for his wife to return, but nil. Vita was already overwhelmed by her emotions.

With his chest up and down because of the emotions that were still stirring, Ismail picked up the business card that belonged to Rey he once left and immediately called the number that was there.

"What's up, Mail?" ask Rey without further ado even if only to use the opening line of the chat like 'Hallo'.

"What do you have with me, huh?" ismail shouted until Rey kept the phone away from her earlobes.

"What do you mean, Mail, you call suddenly and get angry for no reason?" tanya Rey did not understand.

"Don't pretend you don't know, Rey. Zayn is with Kia right now? Tell him, please give me my son back!" ismail's word with fiery, after that immediately turned off his phone without cue.

Across the street, Rey frowned.  Rey knows very well what Kia is. The woman would not act rashly let alone dare to mess up the plan she made.

***

At Lia's mother's house, Kia was teaching a lesson that Zayn had left behind for some time. It was late in the afternoon and the two decided to end the question and answer session that they had been doing for several hours.

"So how's what you're teaching, is it stuck in Zayn's brain?" asked Kia while pinching Zayn's cheek.

"Zayn understands, Ma. Thank you." said Zayn while peeking at Kia's cheek.

"How good it is that if Zayn lives with Mama, Zayn will definitely continue to go to school." Zayn bowed sadly.

"Mama can't always be with Zayn, but if Zayn needs to, Zayn can ask Mama to come see Zayn." Kia said making Zayn smile again.

"May I trouble Mother Lia again in the future?" kia asked with a look that shifted to Mother Lia's face.

"We should have helped each other, Mother Kia. Because if I was in Mother Kia's position. Maybe Mother Kia will do the same as me." said Mother Lia with a shady look made Kia's eyes pool.

"Thank you, Miss Lia. May Allah repay your kindness." said Kia sincerely and Mother Lia nodded her head with a smile.

"Women who said Zayn was handsome, how are you now?" seductive Kia made Zayn cover his face with his tiny hands.

"Ih Mama. At that time, Mama herself did not want Zayn to have a girlfriend." said Zayn innocently while Kia and Lia's mother laughed at the same time hearing the sentence.

"Zayn knew that Mama was jealous." said Kia scrambling Zayn's hair was anxious.

"Kan Zayn is unfortunately just the same Mama." Zayn blinked one eye.

"Ih, Zayn can already fight, yes, now. Mama up to pangling 'loh, is Zayn in front of Mama still the same person?" ledek Kia made Zayn blush.

"Ih, Mama. This is Zayn, Mama's son." he said, making Kia laugh again.

"Ma, why is everyone at home talking about Zayn not being Mama's son? Papa also forces Zayn to call her Aunty Vita as Mother. Is it possible, Ma?" the question that made the look on Kia's face that had been smiling now faded.

"Bo-can't be 'kok, dear." said Kia with a difficult expression to explain. His face was smiling but his heart was hurt.

"Well, why can you, Ma?" ask Zayn for not believing if the answer is like that which he will hear.

Kia sighed, however, it was time for Zayn to know the truth came from himself. With closed eyes Kia said basmallah first.

"Because she was Zayn's real mother, she gave birth to Zayn. Although she did not raise Zayn, she was Zayn's real mother. And Mama was just the one who raised Zayn from infancy. Understand now, honey?" obviously Kia as soft as possible even with a heart that is getting slashed.

"If Vita's mother is Zayn's mother, why isn't she the one who took care of Zayn from infancy?" tanya Zayn made Kia sigh again. It feels like telling young children to be extra patient and look for many good answers so that their minds do not get dirty due to wrong words.

Suddenly Kia's phone rings, Rey calls him. Kia immediately picked it up.

"Hallo, Rey?"

"Where are you? Are you with Zayn? Have you fucked up until you forget what I said?" Rey immediately asked a question.

"Relseq, Rey. I haven't asked you anything, you've asked like a doormat." ledek Kia and Rey increasingly grunt.

"I'm serious, Kia." he said again like a man who wants to be angry.

"Yes, I'm with Zayn." said Kia flat.
