Triplet And CEO
53. A little Karen

'' Om, ''' call Karen to the middle-aged man who became her real uncle.

Damino is Karen's uncle's name. She is the younger sister of Karen's mother. Right now the only family Karen has is her uncle. This middle-aged man who was half a century old was not married nor had any children. So Damino and Karen just stay together because they are both kara.

Once upon a time Karen was rumored to have a relationship with her uncle. Those who don't know if Karen is Damino's niece think they're in a loving relationship because of Karen and Damino's romantic-looking interactions. With the appearance of the bull face of Damino made the middle-aged man look like Karen's lover.

'' Karen thanks you for helping om, '' said Damino when he arrived home and found Karen sitting on the sofa in a condition not in ordinary conditions.

The woman's face looked as if she had cried or indeed that was the reality. Damino does not understand women's problems. All this time his life was about gambling and money. Damino is not married because any woman does not like lazy men like Damino. Even now he hitchhiked to live with his niece Karen.

" You crying?" ask Damino to his nephew.

" It's no business om" replied Karen ketus.

" This is what makes you lazy to marry. The woman was complicated," Damino replied.

" Baby shit," ketus Karen again.

Damino was very sure that his nephew was sad. Karen never cried even though everyone in the world hated her. Damino already memorized the nature and behavior of Karen.

" Is this because of Jason's son of a bitch? How many times have I told you, forget about him. Gini is it?" damino.

" Om this how the hell? Who used to be so excited to tell Karen to make Jason's decetin? Om forgot? It was Om himself who told Karen to get close to Jason. Now what? Karen cry, om even talk like that. You senile bujang," Karen's nag.

" Yes not so. I used to tell you to get Jason to enjoy his treasure. Um how do you know that you really like that son of a bitch," Elak Damino.

" Once it is, Karen is tired of going to the club alone," said Karen stepped away.

" Heh, strange talk. If tired of sleeping instead of dugem," said Damino yelling at Karen who had disappeared behind the door of his room.

Damino felt sorry to see his nephew. As a child, he lost both of his parents. Damino's older sister, Karen, is an Indonesian-Dutch blonde. Damino's older brother is married to a native Javanese man who is Karen's biological father. Both of Karen's parents died in an accident. Since then Karen started to foster. No other family would take Karen. So Damino volunteered to raise Karen even though the man wasn't entirely responsible.

...****************...

Mendung adorned Lala's journey home. Lala has just finished her business related to the fire at the police station. Together with police Lala was accompanied to discuss the issue of compensation for buildings that have been destroyed. Fortunately, the owners of shops and other buildings that burned very well. They facilitate the negotiation process for compensation payments.

Pretty much the money Lala spent to solve this problem. Now all Lala's savings including the money Lala had prepared for the future triplet are up. Lala sighed that perhaps the treasure that God had left to her had to end here. Lala already has nothing but a triplet that she lives in her neighbor's house.

Lala did not want to contact her father who was in the village. Because it will only worsen the mood. It has been quite a burden on the mind of Lala's father so far, since Lala was a child he always fought for the happiness of Lala. To the point where Lala made a disgrace, Lala's father did not hate her. He was only disappointed in his daughter who could not take care of herself.

After returning home from the police station, Lala went home on foot. Now Lala no longer has more money for herself to waste money. At least the cost of Lala taking a taxi can be useful for him and his children to eat later.

Lala did have a car to deliver food but the car was still a credit. So inevitably Lala had to be sincere when the car had to be confiscated because the money was due that Lala could not pay.

The cloud that was once cloudy is now getting darker. Lala sped up her steps to find shelter. Many two-wheelers then pass by to stop to just put on a raincoat. In front of Lala saw a bus stop. He sped up his steps so that the raindrops that began to drip did not make his clothes wet.

The air is quite cold plus the vehicle that slightly makes the atmosphere of the stop becomes gripping. The condition of the stop began to be quiet because many people had left the stop. Lala wanted to leave this place but Lala could not walk through the rain that had flushed the streets a few minutes ago. Waiting for help is Lala's last hope.

Not long after that there was a car that Lala was very familiar with stopping in front of the stop. Lala's eyes squinted to see if the owner of the car belonged to someone she knew. Lala's guess is that Marvel came. Marvel got out of the car using an umbrella to keep the rain from wetting his shirt.

Lala gasped when Marvel was right in front of her. He was grateful to be able to meet Marvel when in this condition. Lala smiled, hope can indeed be realized.

'' Marvel, thank goodness we met here. Can I ask for your help to take me home. I can't leave the kids at home any longer Lala told Marvel.

Marvel certainly agreed with Lala's request. Marvel gave Lala his suit so she could wear it. Then after that Marvel and Lala put themselves together in one umbrella to get to Marvel's car.

'' Are your clothes wet? '' ask Marvel, who is already in the car.

'' Just a little bit, no problem later also dry, '' Lala replied.

'' We go back to your house now huh?'' marvel then runs the wheel.

Marvel quietly observed Lala who was beside him. One word Marvel thought, Lala was so beautiful when it was cold. In the heart of Marvel smiled so fondly the figure of the woman who has three children.

Marvel's car continues to drive until it reaches the front of Lala's house. It turns out that Lala's house has not rained, just cloudy but not so dark. Lala thanks Marvel. He will get out of the car after that he will go to Mama Alfi's house to pick up a triplet.

Marvel accompanied Lala down from her car. They talked for a while. Marvel asked Lala about the fire. Marvel knew because he had seen the show from his home television.

'' Are you sure that your current condition is okay? I was worried about you when I heard the news. I intend to see you this morning just a lot of office work, '' Marvel told Lala.

'' It's okay. Thank you so much for the attention you give. Sorry to bother you so much, said Lala feeling bad.

'' It's okay, ''' Marvel replied to Lala.

They stared at each other for a moment before a voice stopped them. Marvel and Lala compactly looked towards the person who voiced out by calling Lala's name so loudly.

'' Vanilla, ''' Jason's baritone voice turns out to be Lala's. Jason has seen the interaction between Lala and Marvel. Jason follows his angry heart to see Lala and Marvel's togetherness forget his logic of not being able to say love to Lala.

Jason only claims Lala as his own because Lala is the mother of the triplet. Asking about love, Jason was still afraid to break it.

Lala just rolled her eyes lazily looking at Jason. Lala ignores Jason who comes near her and Marvel.

'' Where did you end up?'' jason asked not to heed the Marvel that was beside him.

Lala was silent when Jason asked her a question. Marvel who saw that chose to say goodbye. Lala smiled kindly as Marvel said goodbye. After Marvel left, Lala's face was flat again.

Jason who felt distinguished attitude with Marvel became furious himself. Jason's hand was clutching a suit that was slung over Lala's shoulder. Jason picked it up and threw it to the ground. Lala who did not receive immediately shouted at Jason who always acted as he wanted.

'' Jason, what the fuck are you? Throw away Marvel's suit again? The one you have not changed yesterday, said Lala shouting to forget her who was outside the house.
