Fabio looked at Ayana who just stood up without even approaching her. He followed his eyes. And it is true that his assumption if Ayana and Gama are both dissolved in the gaze of each other. There was a pain that slipped into Fabio's heart. But he tried to endure the pain, knowing that Ayana still had the same taste for him.
Ayana disconnects her gaze with Gama and tries to behave as usual, even though her heart is rumbling after seeing Gama's presence.
Ayana approached Fabio's parents and kissed the back of his hand.
"Gama, are you coming too ?" ask Mama Lisa when her attention switches to Gama.
"Yes Aunty, we met this afternoon and Zayyan brought me here" replied Gama.
"Ah so" Mama Lisa nodded her head, "Yes already because everyone is present, now we have dinner !" mama Lisa took them to the dinner table.
"Well, this must be Ayana's cooking" Mother Shita guessed.
"This is Ayana's cooking. I didn't think my daughter could cook. Ayana used to be spoiled, let alone cook food like this, cook water sometimes she forgets until the pancake is charred" said Mama Lisa who makes everyone laugh. While Ayana was so embarrassed because the mother exposed the ugliness in the past.
"Haha... Really ?" ask Shita's mother who got the nod from Mama Lisa.
"Mama... Make Ayana embarrassed" said Ayana with a reddened face.
"Why should I be ashamed ? His name is also still a teenager, there are still many plays" said Ms. Shita.
"What matters now is that it can cook well" continued Omah.
"That's right" said Ms. Shita.
Ayana smiled at the Omah. They continued their dinner in a warm atmosphere. But the three adults among them felt differently.
Ayana felt uneasy because Gama and Fabio were always staring at her. While Gama and Fabio like competing to get a reproach to approach Ayana. Fabio and Gama are both aware that they both have a similar taste for Ayana.
After dinner, they re-assemble in the living room while enjoying a cake made by Ayana.
Gama who promised to accompany Zayyan to play is now in the pavilion near the pool. Zayyan was busy unboxing the new toy that Gama brought earlier.
"Where are you happy ?" ask Zayyan.
"Very happy Om, thank you very much Om Gama" said Zayyan so happy.
"Beloved together" said Gama as he pinched Zayyan's cheek. His son defended him with a smile.
Behind the glass window, Ayana stared at the familiarity of Gama and Zayyan. So too with Fabio.
"It looks like Zayyan really likes it" Fabio guessed.
"She's so cunning, she approaches Zayyan with a bunch of toys that Zayyan likes" Ayana replies.
"If I had noticed, like it wasn't because Gama was smart about taking Zayyan's heart. But indeed it is purely because of the inner bond of a child with his Papa. Try to watch ! Gama pinched Zayyan's cheek but your son didn't pull his hand. While we know Zayyan hates it so much, even you as his mother often brushed off his hands. We can make such a small thing as proof if the inner bond of a child and his parents is indeed very strong" Fabio explained.
Ayana was silent when she heard Fabio's words. If it is true that it is purely because of the bond between parents and children, then will Zayyan one day ask Gama to be his father ?. Ask Inner Ayana.
"Ayana, if one day Zayyan asks you to marry that man, will you obey him ?" fabio asked as he looked at Ayana's face from the side.
Ayana glanced at Fabio then looked back at Gama and Zayyan. He paused for a moment and replied, "No".
Fabio smiled in anguish when he heard Ayana's short answer. He was sure that what Ayana said was not in accordance with her heart.
"Did I not have the chance to enter your heart ?" asked Fabio looking fixedly at Ayana's face.
This time Ayana not only glanced at Fabio, but her body also faced him. Ayana returned Fabio's very sincere eyes to her. But somehow Ayana's heart never quivered at all when she saw Fabio's love gaze.
"Sth..." Fabio cuts Ayana's words, he puts his index finger right on Ayana's lips. After Ayana fell silent, both of her hands pulled Ayana's hand. He held the woman's hand.
"Don't continue ! I don't like it when you put yourself down because of the past you've been through. All you need to know is Ayana, if I love you is really sincere. I'll keep waiting for you to return my feelings, no matter when that day comes. But I will never stop fighting for you unless you've been edited by another man" Fabio said.
"But Fabio-"
*bug*
Not yet Ayana continued her words, Fabio had already pulled her into his arms.
As Ayana rounded her eyes, she tried to escape Fabio's embrace but the man hugged her so tightly.
"Pbuh-fabio... Le-wake !" His love, but not the man.
"Try listening to my heartbeat !" pinta Fabio so make Ayana stop struggling.
Now Ayana tried to close her ears to Fabio's chest, she could hear Fabio's heart beating very tight.
"Ayana, stop asking me not to love you because it's a very difficult request for me ! I will never force your feelings to return my feelings, but let me fight for your love" she said.
From the outside someone stared at the scene with clenched hands. His heart was so hot from burning jealousy.
'What should I do Ayana ? Do I have to step back for your happiness ? But I can't let you go. I still love you, nothing has changed. But it looks like you've found another man' inwardly.
Gama kept staring at Ayana and Fabio who were still hugging. His chest felt tight to see the woman he loved in the arms of another man. Until the man's attention is sidetracked when Zayyan calls his name.
"Om, let's play yuk ! Zayyan's game is open" Zayyan asked.
Finally, Gama played with Zayyan. Playing with his son made Gama's heart slightly improve.
They played until they felt the time was almost ten at night. Ayana calls her son to come in and rest.
Ayana approached the pavilion where Zayyan and Gama were playing. Ayana's arrival makes Gama's attention turn to her. Although he saw Gama looking at him, Ayana tried to ignore Gama's gaze.
"Zayyan, now go in ! It's been too late to play" Ayana said.
"Well Ma" replied Zayyan according to the request of the mother.
"We play tomorrow again !" Pinta Zayyan tidying up her toys.
"Zayyan, don't ask that Om keep coming to play with you. Om it's a busy person so don't be fussy coming to see you play here !" reprimanded Ayana who forbade her son always asked Gama to come with her to play. Or rather this as a satire for Gama to know himself not to come to his house.
"But Om Gama said there was still time to accompany Zayyan to play. Isn't that Om ?"
Zayyan's words made Gama smile triumphantly, but not with Ayana who was upset that her son kept clinging to Gama.
"Of course Boy. Om will always be there when you need Om" replied Gama spirit.
