The Imperfect Story
Chapter 45

Not regretting his actions that had fled to the neighboring house, Zayn actually behaved as if challenging his family.

Three days later, Vita and Ismail secretly watched the boy's movements from afar.

They had felt surprised because Zayn who suddenly became often smiling when before Zayn was very quiet. And that's what makes them curious.

When he saw Zayn enter Mother Lia's house, they were ordinary at first. But when he saw Zaskia who suddenly came with Rey and immediately met Zayn there made the minds of the couple confused, they also visited Lia's mother's house.

As if raiding a thief, Zaskia and Zayn were both surprised to see the arrival of two people who were very influential in his life. Bad influence, that is.

Without warning, Zayn was forced by the two to get out of Mother Lia's house. Until arriving at his own yard, Zayn began to rebel.

"Zayn wants to stay with Mama! Zayn doesn't want to go home with you!" snapped Zayn refused to join Ishmael, trying to release Ishmael's hand.

"Don't be stubborn! Come with me Daddy's home!" Ishmael pulled Zayn's arm very roughly.

"Don't be too rough with the kids, Mail!" said Rey tried to pull Ismail's hand, but the man turned Rey's hand and turned towards Rey with a look of obstruction.

"Who are you, Rey! To interfere in the affairs of others? Zayn this is my son not your son!" snapped Ismail while pushing Rey to almost fall down.

"Go from here!" Ishmael tried to drive him out rudely.

"Okay, sorry to interfere." Rey raised both her hands in surrender then stood a bit away, to be able to keep paying attention.

"Zayn, let's go back home! Don't you know, your mom and dad are worried about Zayn? You start to misbehave, now you start to dare to hide with strangers!" he continued to forcefully pull the boy's arm.

"Zayn won't, Dad!" zayn tried to let go of his hand.

"I'm a stranger?" tanya Kia pointed to herself repeating the words that Ismail had just said while laughing.

"You heard, Mail. It was this stranger who raised this child, I who fed him three meals a day without being absent! I bathed him, I dressed him twice a day for seven years! Not only this child, even you, the one who betrayed me all the time I served with all my heart!" obviously Kia was upset, pausing with a sigh after that sipped the saliva which felt more and more bitter before continuing his chatter.

"If you feel like I'm still that bad in your eyes, where is Zayn's noble birth mother, huh? The man who dares to throw away his own biological child, and foolishly tells his useless husband to throw it in front of the mosque when a rainstorm with thunderbolts is thundering! Is that the kind of woman you think is the best in the world?" ask Kia again while laughing sarcastically.

"You fool, Mail! The best and noble women will not have the heart to leave their children alone in the room, let alone leave it in front of the mosque which is clearly cold and can make babies infected with disease!" kia with a fiery heart.

"Now please judge yourself, are you a good person, or a cruel person? Oh, yes one more, only this time I met a stupid man and did not have a stand like you, Mail! Stupid for love, and crazy for treasure! Men are useless!" Kia also spit on the ground because she was disgusted to see the toxic family and did not have the heart.

"Darling, now go to your house. Don't cry anymore, yeah. Everything will be fine." Kia gently pulled Zayn's hand, carried him inside the house and into his room.

"Zayn understood, Ma." said Zayn with a tear.

"Here, don't cry anymore. Mama has to go home, baby. Okay?"

"Yes, Ma. Don't forget to visit Zayn again, huh?" pinta Zayn with eyes that still show clear glass.

"Surely, dear." Kia hugged Zayn tightly. Kissing the head first then completely left Zayn still crying in his room.

"Let's go home, Rey." Kia said as she got out of the house and got straight into the car.

"Wait, Rey!" The judge arrested Rey and gave her an envelope.

"Give it to your client" he said with a slanted smile.

With a long sigh, Rey received the letter. Ah, it feels like I'd like to win the case to shut the judge's mouth.

Zaskia was crying in the car, and seeing that, Rey opened the envelope and read it carefully.

"The judge gave us a warning to stay away from Zayn" Rey said with a smile.

"Just calm down, Kia. We'll still be able to meet Zayn. But for a while, we move away first, let the atmosphere calm down." Rey added to calm Kia down.

"alright. I'm sorry for causing trouble for you" said Kia unkindly.

"It's okay, let's go home." Rey starts the engine and drives him away from the residence.

Meanwhile, Vita had knocked on Zayn's bedroom door but the occupants ignored him. So bitter was the reality that the boy had heard. A real mother could throw it away and dare to take everything owned by Mama who did not give birth to him but willing to take care of him wholeheartedly.

"Zayn, open the door, dear." cried Vita unceasingly.

Instead of opening the door, Zayn went inside his blanket shouting,

"If you're Zayn's real mother, why would you tell me to throw Zayn away? Did you ever think that Zayn died there at that time? Don't you feel sorry for Zayn?" the question was pierced into the deepest recesses of Vita's heart. The woman's eyes also pooled, it felt sorry for having done the fatal thing.

Without Vita realizing it, Wati was standing behind him eavesdropping on the conversation and laughing loudly. Vita turned to look at her mother.

"Gosh, Zayn is so funny" said Wati still with a laugh and then down the stairs leaving Vita with all her regrets.
