" Have you been okay all this time?" John asked me suddenly.
I looked at him confused. A minute ago we were yelling at each other. Now it all looks like nothing ever happened between the two of us.
"I'm fine." Reply to me briefly.
"Do you know who their father is?" John asked with a curious looking face.
Seeing her like that, I laughed at her question.
"Yes and I think he's gonna win against you in the biggest competition in the world." I laughed and he laughed too.
"Hmm I might be able to win against him." Said John.
"Hey, shut up, John." Reply to me with cheeks that feel red.
"Sorry." The reply came back laughing again. "But who is he really? Is he a fool?" Ask John again.
"He doesn't want to be a Papa. She left when my kids were just 1 week old and it was a very painful act for me because she just left. Papa ki also left us all." Reply me.
"Your papa! When?" John asked with a face that looked so serious.
"Before the Moon, Diamonds and Stars were born. We were all so embarrassing to him. I even heard the news that Papa was married again." My speech.
"I never thought that your Papa would do such a thing." Reply John.
"Nobody would have thought of that. We found the house empty and Papa's belongings gone and Papa left without saying anything. And that thing....." My words stopped because there was a knock on the door.
"Wait a minute! I'll go see who's coming." My answer to John.
I then walked towards the children's playground to see the three who were still playing cheerfully. I went to the living room to open the front door and saw that Johan was standing there.
"Johan!" I'm surprised.
"Hi Adel's. Can I come in?" Said Johan who immediately walked in without even waiting for me to respond.
He really has no manners.
"Wow they grow up very fast." Johan said as he looked at the children who looked at him like they saw Johan was a monster.
"Yes, they grew quickly in this one year. By the way, what are you doing here?" I asked with anger. "I need a reason from you." My speech.
Suddenly there was a sound of objects falling from the kitchen where John was. It made me so surprised. I was so worried when I didn't listen to anything after that. Then John went into the children's playroom where Johan and I were, with his face full of flour. I laughed when I saw her face like that.
He looked embarrassed and surprised at the same time.
"Johan!" He said confusedly.
I looked towards the two of them and Johan looked towards John speechlessly.
"Yes we've been friends for a long time. How did you get to know him. Why is he here?" Ask John.
"Johan is the Pap of my children. I've wanted to tell you this before." I said and looked at John's eyes, which looked flushed with anger.
I've never seen him that angry before.
"You're the one who did that to him." Shouted John with a very angry look.
'Oh no!'
I can see that this is not going to end well. Johan seemed to step back looking for a way out. Yes, it's clear that none of this will end well.
"Guys, if you want to talk, can you go to another room first. I have three kids here." I stared at John and Johan, who were looking at each other and then both rushed to the kitchen.
I could see that none of this would end well and also end quickly. So I took all the kids to their room and made them take naps. And when I went back to the kitchen, I could hear that they were yelling at each other.
"You.... You fucking man! I told you to stay away from him. And you got her pregnant. As if that wasn't bad enough, you left him alone. And you've known all these things for a year, in which I myself always waited to hear any news from him. And you're really Johan's crazy man." Shouted John.
I felt a little surprised that Johan didn't sound like he was saying anything. I walked into the kitchen and everything became so clear why Johan could not say anything because it turned out that John was pushing him against the wall strangling his neck.
"John's.... Put him down." I said in a voice so calm that my three twins were not disturbed by the noise from this kitchen.
John looked at my face and looked disappointed. I raised my eyebrows looking at him sharply and he then lowered Johan to the floor.
"Now tell me, why are you two yelling like this? I understand that the world is very small." I said, remembering the fact that they were both good friends. "But you two are adults. Can't you two think you're supposed to be more mature?" Saying again.
"He started it." Johan.
"John....!!!" I looked at John.
"He's a bastard."
That's all John said, staring at Johan.
I let out a breath.
"Alright, I knew that a while ago. Now you two, act like grown men and tell me. What really happened between the two of you if you weren't like that....."
I said everything clearly to both of them. Now I look towards the two of them. I mean they're 21-year-old men. They should think that they are already grown men. But now they're acting like my kids are yelling at each other a lot.
"Look, I'm leaving now." Said Johan turning around and then running towards the door.
I really hope that my kids don't have the attitude that they do.
"And....." Shouted Johan. "I'm not the Papa of your children. I want to talk to someone you call your best friend. He's the one who protects Papa's birth from your real children."
Seriate....
