Lala picks up a Marvel suit dumped on the ground by Jason.
'' He won't be poor for losing two suits, La. There is no need until you keep the suit, Jason said.
Not wanting to be seen by the other neighbors, Lala prefers to give up not wanting to make Jason act more. Jason who saw Lala was silent, he felt strange himself. Because from earlier he acted Lala only responded flatly.
'' Lala, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you and the kids. I am a bad father for letting my children be hurt by others, Jason told Lala. Lala wanted to go into her house, but Jason's hand wouldn't allow that.
'' He's not someone else, he's your fiancee. It's natural that he behaves like that. Which woman is not hurt to see her fiance with another woman. I'm also guilty of this. So you better stop calling me and the triplet. We can still be happy even without your presence, Lala replied.
'' No, not La. How could that be? I'm their birth papa. They will never be far from his father. You must not be a selfish mother who separates father and son, Jason said.
Lala digested Jason's statement. What he does with him that moves away from Jason will affect the triplet. But if he and Jason are together even without any status ties, there will still be hearts that do not like it.
'' Mama don't listen to this man. Triplet can be happy even without the presence of the father though. From the past we have also been happy to live four without a figure named papa, said Matt with Max and Oliver. They just got back from Alphah's house. They get tired of being at Alfie's house so they choose to go home.
" Triplet forgive papa, son. Papa didn't mean to hurt you" Jason said.
" We don't want to know you anymore" Oliver said. The boy didn't want to call Jason papa anymore. He who is usually excited about Jason now no longer has that word when he meets Jason.
Triplet pulls Lala's hand into the house. Jason holds back the triplet and Lala as they enter the house for further explanation, but Lala threatens Jason by shouting at him as a bully. Jason finally came back later.
" From now on, you can't see the man anymore. Triplet will be angry if you see him again" said Max hugging Lala. They are already inside the house more precisely the living room.
Lala hugged her three sons. He doesn't want to look sad. Lala would only smile so that her children would not grieve.
" When we move out of this house, do you want to?" ask Lala to the triplet.
" Are we going back to Ma's village?" ask Matt.
" No dear. Mama doesn't want to make your grandfather worry about us coming home with bad news about yesterday's fire" Lala said.
" Where will we live?" now replace Max who asked Lala.
" Mama plans to rent a contract that is definitely close to your school. Don't you guys care if we stay in the rented?"
" Triplet doesn't have a problem living anywhere we're always with mama" Oliver replied.
Lala hugged her three sons tighter and tighter. Lala also thanked the triplet for understanding Lala's current condition.
...****************...
It's been two days since Lala avoided Jason. As well as the triplet, the children are also reluctant to interact with Jason. They always refuse if Jason takes them away, takes them to school or gives them the latest toys.
Lala thought Jason would give up because of his rowdy attitude and triplet, but it didn't fit Lala's shadow. During these two days Jason visited Lala's house more often than usual. If Jason used to only visit once, it's now twice as intense. Like in the morning, Jason will come just offer a triplet to go to school despite the rejection and also the afternoon just sitting on the porch of Lala's house. Jason won't get into Lala's house because Lala locked him inside.
Once Lala saw Jason behind the window of her house, she was eager to let Jason into her house. But Lala's self-esteem is very high. Not not the self-esteem that Lala upholds but the sense of prestige that dominates.
" Lala, don't you pity to see Mr. Jason distraught because you've silenced him? Even in the office Mr. Jason was not eager to work. Although I'm new, yes, but I can sense that Mr. Jason is having a problem. And what surprised me just found out was that he was having problems with you, said Niki who was visiting Lala's house. Niki visits at lunchtime after asking Lala's address first. She was very worried about her best friend.
Arriving at Lala's house, Niki is warmly welcomed by Lala. Lala will always seem to smile even though 1000 problems come her way. Niki who had just arrived immediately shot Lala with many questions about the condition of Lala after the fire that Niki had heard. Not only that Niki and Lala chat also propagated the story of Jason who was in trouble with Lala.
Niki does know Jason and Lala are close. But Niki has not been able to ascertain what kind of relationship they live. Niki knew that Jason was having trouble with Lala. He had heard a conversation Jason told Fernando about his problem. To make sure it was her worry, Niki finally decided to meet Lala and ask her about it.
" Don't talk about him. Oh yes you didn't come here because of her man, did you?'' ask Lala to investigate.
'' No, no, no. Mr. Jason didn't tell me at all. I'm here to see your condition. I heard you were in trouble. What kind of friend am I La? To the extent that you did not tell me, Niki said.
'' Sorry if I haven't told you. I've been very busy since yesterday, Nik. Oh yes then how did you get here? Aren't you working?'' ask Lala.
'' I kept thinking of you, so I had the office permission to see you. Since yesterday, you have been very difficult to contact. It's a good thing that you were able to contact me, so I can just call your address explained Niki and Lala nodding.
'' Oh how do you know that Mr Jason is having trouble with me? Did he tell you the same story? '' ask Lala again.
'' Emmmmmm actually I know you have a problem with Mr. Jason because I overheard Mr. Jason talking to Mr. Fernando. I heard it said you were disappointed that Mr. Jason didn't defend you when Miss Karen cursed you. I keep hearing that you've been silent for two days. It's too bad to know, La. I saw it until I couldn't bear it. He's like a lifeless man that's right for work, '' explained Karen.
'' Your habit from the past like to nguping was still there huh? Actually I'm the same Jason there's no serious problem. Just a little misunderstanding, said Lala.
'' Ishh you always have been. Holding all problems alone. At least you share your story with me. You still think I'm your best friend, right? Yesterday I heard your store was burning from stories of office people who knew you. It's not from you that straight away that story, Niki's cerocos and makes Lala smile. He remembers when he was in High School when he had a problem and Niki immediately lectured him because he did not share the problem.
'' So you want to know which problem I was in?'' ask Lala.
'' Emmm what relationship are you having with Mr Jason? She already has Miss Karen's fiancee while you're no less close to Mr. Jason. I even felt that Mr. Jason loved you more than his fiancee. Is that true, La? Or is it just my speculation as a bountymaker?'' ask Niki.
Lala sighed before telling her back. '' Actually Jason is a man who slept with me at Bryant's birthday party first, ''' Lala said.
'' What!!!'' niki was surprised.
