CEO Seed
Chapter 46

"Why the rain, anyway? Can't you wait for the rain to subside."

Kania turned her head towards the man standing while hugging his body from the side. The man's chest wrapped in a maroon shirt became the first object he saw.

When he looked up at the man's face, Kania was powerless to hold back her tears. Kania needs a backrest. He needs a place to share. He can't hold everything by himself. Tells his parents are afraid that Kania only adds to their burden.

"Where's shaka?" ask the man.

Asked about Shaka, Kania's cries grew louder. The man stroked Kania's back gently. Trying to give peace to Kania.

"She doesn't want to go home" Kania said in between.

"Why?"

"He wants to be with Devan, his father. He won't come home with me." Kania was allowed to spill what was weighing on her heart. "Why did Devan get his love for Shaka so easily? He never felt the pain I had felt all along. It's not fair to me."

The man clenched his hands tightly. He also felt the same way as Kania felt. Devan can get Shaka's affection easily.

Contrary to what Kania got for choosing to keep Shaka while still in the womb Kania.

"Yes already. Let's go to the car first, yeah. The rain is getting heavier. You'll be cold."

Kania did not fight when his hand was held and invited to get into the car.

"Why are you here?"

"Not intentionally passed. I was shocked to see you raining alone on the side of the road."

"Thank you, yeah.."

The man nodded and smiled. Let alone giving an umbrella to protect Kania from rain drops. Risking his life for Kania alone he was willing to do it.

Still as big as Rama's love for Kania.

🌼🌼🌼

Devan clenched his hands tightly seeing Kania in the arms of another man. He could also clearly hear what they were talking about.

Intentions want to give an umbrella to Kania, or maybe also take her home if Kania wants, but it is an unsightly sight to her eyes that Devan gets.

Not Devan jealous. It's just that he doesn't like to see the woman who is predicted his mother will be made a daughter-in-law hugging another man on the side of the road.

The good name of the Devan family is at stake if until there are business partners, colleagues, and who have an important relationship with the Devan family see the scene of their embrace.

The woman who was predicted as the future son-in-law of Bram Maulana embraced with another man on the side of the road. It's not funny until the news gets out.

"Dad, Shaka wants ice cream."

"Eh, early in the morning, why, have you asked for ice cream?"

"Udah at ten, Dad. I can have ice cream."

Devan laughed crisply at Shaka who looked so adorable when he could reply to her words easily. The answers he often gives are sometimes beyond the expectations of adults.

"Yes already. In front is a minimarket. We buy it there, yes," said Devan who made Shaka nod enthusiastically.

Devan eventually turns his car into the parking lot of a minimarket. Open the door for Shaka and hold Shaka's hand to enter the minimarket.

"Shaka can pick the ice cream. I'm gonna find something first. Wait at the cashier if you're not back yet. Okay?"

"OK, Dad." Devan laughed crisply and rubbed his son's hair.

Devan covered the snack rack. Today he wants to take Shaka on vacation. Shooting Shaka is closed, of course because Devan asked for it. Sometimes he wants to have quality time with Shaka.

While in front of the snack rack, Devan accidentally met with Kania. Devan smiles cynically looking at Kania who has not noticed Devan's presence. It turns out it's as easy as meeting you unintentionally. Inner Devan is voiced.

"We meet again" said Devan who made Kania squeak.

"You?" his spirit could not believe. Kania's face seemed to regret her meeting with Devan. "You're spying on me as if I could meet you accidentally?" Kania looked at Devan with a cursory look. His suspicion is so great.

"Amit-amit!" kania's lips that put their feet away left Devan.

But Kania lost quickly with the hand of Devan who swiftly pulled the hand of Kania. Bringing Kania to the toilet and pinning Kania's body to the wall.

Their faces and bodies are close. Makes the heart beat fast.

Of course it wasn't because he was nervous to be near Devan. But for fear of being raided by the masses. They are still in public facilities. And it certainly has a cctv to keep an eye on every corner of this minimarket.

"Other times, keep the attitude when in public. After all, you will be part of the Bram Maulana family."

"What do you mean?"

"Are you so thirsty that you are easily hugged by men? You even do it on the side of the road. Where were you after that? Check-in at the hotel continues everything?"

Anger Kania is hooked. His hands clenched tightly at Devan's words that sounded humbling to him. Until again Kania had to throw a hard slap on the cheek of the man in front of her.

"So your mouth, Devan!"

"What's the matter, slap Daddy?"

Kania gasps at Shaka's voice. When he saw Shaka standing not far from himself and Devan, there was anger that Shaka showed on his face.

"God..."

"Mother slap Daddy. Why did Mother slap Daddy? Good Dad is with Shaka. Shaka's been buying me ice cream a lot like Dad."

Kania's heart was like being pierced by thousands of thorns. It hurts so much to see his son defending the man who ruined Kania's life.

If Shaka knew and understood what his father was doing, Shaka would never defend Devan like this.

If Shaka understood, someone could be considered good not only because they give a lot. But also how he treats others.

"Sheaka. You can explain, son. It's not like our Shaka. Come with mom, yeah. Mother misses Shaka."

"No way!" Shaka avoided Kania who was about to hold her hand. It is very painful for Kania as Shaka prefers to take shelter behind Devan's body.

Kania held tightness in her chest. Shaka's rejection of her was a very painful thing. This is the real heartbreak that Kania has ever felt. Moreover, it was done for defending the guilty Devan. Worse, Devan just stayed as if enjoying the scenery in front of him.

With her heart broken into pieces, Kania straightened her body. Wiped the tears on his face violently. His eyes stared intently at Devan. "Your satisfaction?" Kania's chest is getting crowded because he has to hold his emotions in front of Shaka. "Forward what you want to do. But one thing you should know, I won't let you nor your family take Shaka away from me."

Once again Kania wiped her tears. Quickly, Kania pulled Shaka's hand. Forcing Shaka to go with him. No matter Shaka who rebelled because he did not want to go with Kania.

With all the energy she had, Kania carried Shaka's fat body and carried him out from inside the minimarket.

Intention to buy snacks for Shaka so that Shaka wants to be invited home, he canceled.

"Bad mother! Shaka wants to be with Dad. Get down Shaka, Mother! Shaka wants to be with me."

Kania's small body is barely strong enough to hold Shaka's constantly rebellious body inside her sling. Fortunately, a taxi passed by and Kania stopped him immediately.

Shaka who had been sitting in the taxi seat was still rebellious to want to get out. Kania is confused, not knowing anymore how to make Shaka calm. Until finally one hard pinch was forced to give Kania on Shaka's arm.

"Can Shaka be quiet? Shaka does not love Mother anymore? Shaka wants to stay the same Dad? Okay, Mommy will recoup. But after Shaka is with Dad, Shaka will never see Mommy again. Mother wants to be with God only if Shaka does not want to be with Mother." Kania's remarks managed to calm Shaka's cries even though Shaka was not completely silent yet.

"Stop, Sir!" Kania told the taxi driver who had been a spectator of the mother and child's quarrel to stop.

Kania knows that Devan is following them from behind. "Now please Shaka come down if you want to come with me. Your dad's car is in the back. But remember, this is the last time Shaka saw Mommy that Shaka was desperate to get down from here."

Kania could not bear to look at the face of the child. Not ready also if Shaka finally chose to go down and choose to follow Devan rather than himself.

Without Kania guessing, Shaka hugs Kania from the side and attaches her face to Kania's stomach. "Shaka wants to be with Mommy. Shaka doesn't want Mommy to leave Shaka."

The two of them broke out at that very instant. Kania immediately hugged her son's body. Kissing the top of his head and repeatedly apologizing for being rude to Shaka.

Avoiding Devan who began to step closer to the taxi they were riding, Kania immediately asked the driver to return to run the taxi.

Mothers, have you ever not kayak Kania? When emotions, and the heart is really tired and does not know how, the ends of the impingement to the child. 😭😭😭
