The One More Chance
Didn't Like

As if frozen, Gea fell silent in place when she first saw Javir.

For almost half the year they had not met, Javir's appearance had grown more mature, neat and cooler with the coat he was wearing today.

Abra, Zahra and Fani had already walked first with Alaric and Javir, but Javir's steps came to a halt when he did not see Gea between them. Javir turned his head to pressure and left, even his legs tiptoe who knew Gea had walked ahead of them, since he had always avoided staring at Gea avoiding contact when they met.

Just as Javir quickly turned around, Gea lowered her head back to step foot while scrambling her sloop pretending to be looking for something.

Gea glanced forward with his head still down, Javir still in his place was standing right in front of Gea making Gea step sideways so they do not hit.

Javir walks behind Gea, he watches Gea from behind, he doesn't like their situation now, there are no hugs, smiles, Jaber calls as if they were strangers.

"Where are they?" Gea pulls her suitcase looking for Abra and Zahra.

In the end Javir stopped his steps next to Gea, "they're on the road" Javir said while staring at Alaric's car.

Javir's hand pulled Gea's suitcase, drove over to his car, which turned out to be Fani waiting in the car with one of Enzo's private drivers.

"Sister Fani" call Gea down.

Fani sits next to the driver, Gea wanting to ask him to move behind sitting with Javir.

"What?" ask Fani lirih.

Seeing Fani who seemed to be jet lag Gea shaking her head in pity, she chose to sit with Javir behind.

Gea's sitting position was so fixed to the door of the car next to him. Furious, it felt like he was yelling at the girl beside him to act ordinary, but he could not bear to see Gea who just looked down busy with her phone.

Hp Gea rings, incoming call from Zahra.

"Gea, there's nothing left behind?" ask Zahra.

"Nothing" Gea answered briefly.

"Yes, Mommy and Dad left first did not wait for Gea because pity Bi and Chaka was afraid of cold."

"Yes"

There was no response from Zahra for a while, "Gea has been riding in a car with Fani right?"

"Udah"

Back to the silence, "Gea why?" ask Zahra gently.

Gea played her finger not answering.

"I'm sorry Mom and Dad forgot"

"...."

"Is Javir there?."

"Yes"

I heard Zahra's breath, "sorry Mother completely forgot."

"Yes Bun"

"Yes, hold on. Mother apologizes"

"Yes"

Gea disconnects Zahra's phone call, she sighs, opens the camera and makes a short video and returns to playing her phone.

Trings ...

There is a notification coming in Javir, it turns out Gea has just updated the story with a caption that makes Javir look at Gea.

Emma sat in a bean bag with a frowning face, watching Aslan and Regan tidy up their books and play equipment in front of the second-floor television where they usually sat back. From her, Enzo and Hanna to Regan talking to her, just like Regan used to talk to strangers when they first met, that's what Emma has felt since.

Aslan brought the crackle that had been filled with garbage down, just then Emma walked up to Regan and dragged him into Regan's room.

"Emma" rebuked Regan.

Emmah locked the door and put it in her shirt, "what's wrong with you?" ask Emma.

Regan sat on her bed staring at Emma flat, "what am I?."

"You're not like Adam" said Emma.

"i don't understand."

"What?"

They looked at each other, Emma's pouting face turned flat on Regan.

"Why have you changed?" emma finally asked him that question.

Regan folded her hands together in front of her chest, this time looking at Emma with a sharp but serious look. "What was I before?."

Regan's backdoor question left Emma speechless.

"Why silence?, soon my parents come I must say ..."

"I don't like it" very softly, "I feel like you've changed since that night. Are you afraid of me?, you hate me?."

Regan sighed to Emma who stood in front of her, indeed she changed like what until Emma thought Regan was afraid and hated her.

"What did I change?, why was it related to that night?." Regan stood up again, "what are you expecting?."

Slowly Emma stepped closer to Regan and hugged her, "i feel you keep your distance."

Regan's hand lifted not returning Emma's embrace. "Aren't you the one who kept your distance?, since that night never came here again?."

Hearing her Emma fell silent again, she hugged Regan even tighter.

Regan's next hand pushed Emma's forehead away, Emma further tightened her embrace making Regan more uncomfortable.

"Emma don't gini" protested Regan.

Both of Regan's hands jerked Emma's hands and ran away, Emma gave a small smile glancing at the door behind her.

Regan who understood the glance was upset, she could not get out through the door because the key was in Emma's shirt, she pulled a blanket neatly tucked into the corner of her bed, ran quickly open the porch door, tied the edge of the blanket on the porch fence and jumped up before Emma managed to grab her hand.

"Hey!" exclaim Emma.

Just then Alaric's car just stopped in front of the fence.

Zahra who saw Regan hanging handed Chaka in her cradle to Abra came out frantically to Regan.

Regan's hand took her hand off the blanket.

"G ..." Zahra shouted increasingly galloping.

Everyone inside the house ran rushing out while listening to Zahra's scream.

Zahra's heart was almost dislodged, Regan herself managed to stand upright on the ground looking at Zahra with a big smile.

"Oh My God Adam .." cried Emma, not worried like Zahra. But Emma was even excited to stare in Regan's admiration from Regan's balcony.

Zahra stopped her steps looking up and widened Emma who was wearing a skimpy suit right where Regan was metoncat, Zahra who was stunned to not respond to Regan's embrace.

"Air end Ar met Mommy" said Regan so happy.

"Ar" called Zahra in a soft voice, "what are you doing with that woman?" zahra asked still looking at Emma who was staring at Regan with a fluffy smile.

"Don't mind her Bun, that chick is crazy" Aslan answered Zahra's question.

Aslan himself walked up to Zahra and hugged her, Zahra being embraced by Aslan and Regan together.

In Abra's car grumbling, Gea who heard him took Chaka from Abra's hand, after that Abra came out and handed Bilqis to Javir before stepping wide pulling both the back collars of Aslan's shirt and Regan away from Zahra.

"Dad doesn't like you hugging Daddy's wife, you've grown up can't hug" Abra said.

Regan and Aslan looked at each other.

"We like you being overly protective?" sahut Aslan's.

"Yes, we don't like you beyond your dislike of us" Regan continued.

The two of them looked back at each other and nodded their heads justifying each other's words.

Abra's hands wrapped around Zahra's waist, staring fiercely at Aslan and Regan, Zahra herself laughed happily at him, she missed Abra who was upset to face their two children.

"Hi bhundha merrthua and Father merrthua."

All attention was turned to the source of the sound, even Enzo was astonished as well as Hanna.
