The Love I Don't Miss
Part 54 (Memory Full Sunday Night)

"You mean...." Zio hung up the question. But his pair of eyes were fixed on Zahra's face. As if he did not believe in the status he wanted to say.

Nodding quietly, "Yes!" sahut Zahra with an awkward smile. Of course he knew what was in Zio's mind. He also understood, maybe Zio was not happy to call a nickname for himself.

"Oh.."

Zio nodded slowly and immediately threw his gaze in the other direction. His memory returned at some point. Where ever he ever made a woman choose to be on appeal to life with him.

It was Calina Agasta.

' Did he marry again and have children? '

Remembering Calina's name, she immediately remembered the night they had been through. Didn't that night make Calina pregnant?

Remembering all that made Zio like a daze. He speaks a thousand languages. Only a sigh can be heard by Zahra who is also still at home standing in the middle of the lobby with her little daughter.

"What's up, Mr Zio? Why just shut up?" ask Zahra.

"Oh, no!" answer Zio reflex. "I just remember someone."

"Widow too?" guess Zahra.

"Hmmm.. Aye!"

"The widow of the Father?" ask Zahra again.

"A...?" Zio rounded his eyes wide. Can't believe Zahra would say that. "I.iya.." replied Zio with a clumsy smile.

"I think the wife of the Father is only the late Bu Naura..."

"Do you know about Naura?" asked Zio squinted.

"Hum..." Zahra nodded slowly. "From the stories of friends and profiles he left behind."

Zio nodded weakly. The world is really going so fast. Without feeling that he used to live happily with Naura, as if nothing was blocking their happiness.

In fact, it is death that breaks all the joy that they have built up over the years.

"So... Do you know why I moved out of town, and was called back here?" ask Zio lirih. Between shame and doubt.

Zahra smiled sweetly, "I know, sir!"

"Well, do you think I'm just company trash?"

Zahra shook her head quickly, "of course not!" he replied, "i know Mr. Zio has a good performance!"

"Where are you from?"

"Friends - friends."

Zio nodded while smiling wryly. Embarrassing, but let it be. It's all over. He also lost what he was fighting for. Now I just want to focus on improving myself

"Yes, that's it. I should.. go home.." said Zio smiling faintly even a little stiff.

"Yes, Mr. Zio.. Please." replied Zahra politely and nodded kindly.

Zio passed from the lobby room. While Zahra was still staring at Zio's strapping back that looked different when not wearing his work coat.

"Mama... Come..hurry up!" the voice of the little girl who was still grasping her hands was interesting - narik to immediately enter the building.

"Yes, Felia. Come on!"

Step in Naura's replacement employees enter the Mental Hospital building, to meet someone.

***

The night is Sunday night. A long night for the young. However it became a lonely and silent night for a Zio Alfaro.

The man just busied himself with the planning of the company. Sitting in front of a laptop with a bitten apple. Next to him was only a cup of his own coffee.

The middle room that was once filled with the warmth of Naura's figure, now only feels cold and lonely.

At a height of several tens of meters, Sunday night became a warm night for the small family of Kenzo and Calina.

The night was late, after an entire afternoon until night they spent time in the city park. Now Calina accompanied Clarice in the little girl's room. Read a story in a fairy tale to let her first daughter sleep well on a cold night.

And that pair of little round eyes finally fell asleep. Because the mother continues to rub her head while telling stories with gentleness. To make her eyes feel heavy.

"Good nights! I love you.." said Calina ending the story with a kiss on Clarice's forehead.

He fixed the princess' thick blanket. He looked at Clarice's pretty face. On the face, though not the blood of Kenzo, in fact there is a Kenzo face line engraved there. Maybe because Kenzo took care of him since childhood, and Kenzo was called Daddy by him. So Clarice got a little Kenzo flash of face.

A smile rose from the lips of the mother of two children. He feels quite happy. Because even though Clarice was born when she was still a widow, but at least Clarice had the love of a man who proudly called Clarice his first child.

Calina's beautiful smile continued to expand. Re-delivering himself to the most difficult moments of his life. Until the smile that was originally a happy smile, became a smile until it finally disappeared somewhere.

🍄 Flashback On . . .

The woman who was once dubbed as the village flower, is now a widow. In the middle of her status, she is pregnant with her ex-husband's child. Of course the more days the belly of a 27-year-old woman is getting bigger.

Although he is close to a man who is none other than the boss of his ex-husband, does not necessarily make himself able to easily marry the man. In addition to the status of a 9-month pregnant widow that she is holding at this time, also because of the social status that makes her back and forth to fight.

Yes, the blonde and short-haired woman who is close to the figure of Kenzo Adhitama, the CEO of one of the big companies in the Capital.

Calina Agasta, the woman was standing by the window of the small apartment Kenzo gave her to live in whenever she wanted. His pair of wet eyes stared straight down. Seeing the crowd of the capital when the hour hand shows the hour of rest for office workers and field workers.

She checked her pregnancy this morning. Mingle with dozens of pregnant women who queue. He refuses Kenzo's offer to be VIP checked despite his belly being big.

During the queuing process, all pregnant women are always accompanied by her husband. Or at least someone is waiting for him at the end of the hallway and talking through the code. While he just sits alone. Looking to the left right, and could only harbor envy and smell.

' If Mama had come ... '

It flows in the heart. Mama Shinta is rumored to be coming from the village soon. But because something on the way makes Mama Shinta late to arrive in the Capital.

After finishing with the queue session and the series of examinations, Calina went home with Mang Heru who was assigned Kenzo that day to take Calina to the Hospital.

"Go home, Neng?" ask Mangu Heru.

"Yes, Sir!" calina smiled.

"Sir, can I ask you?"

"May, just ask, sir!" answer Calina.

"Did Neng Calina not want to get married again?"

Calina sharpened her gaze. As if not believing the question of Mang Heru. This short question can be easily answered by anyone. But for those asked, of course, something heavy to answer honestly.

"Anyone wants to marry a pregnant woman like me, sir?" ask Calina back. "I'm sure not all men can sincerely accept this child in my womb, sir" she continued, sounding heartbreaking.

"If there is?"

"If there's any chance they're just kasian.."

"Not all men are like that, Neng."

"Where did Mr. Heru know?"

"I'm also a man, of course I know, Neng!" mangu Heru replied smiling softly from the rearview mirror.

From the chat, Calina really hopes that there will be men who love their children sincerely.

But the conversation ended with Alphard's car driving Mang Heru stopped at a red light. Simultaneously, a black CRV pulled up next to Alphard's car.

Calina looked to the side, she was like a stranger to the car. And sure enough, it was Kenzo's car. Quickly Calina lowered the windshield.

"Mas Kenzo!" yells from the window. He believes the one behind the wheel must be Kenzo.

Realizing that there was a head coming out of the window, the man behind the wheel of the CRV turned to the right side. Then she lowered the window. She also had a smile on her thin lips.

"It's over?" ask Kenzo.

Nodding quickly and smiling happily, "already!" answer Calina. "Where are you from?" tanyakanya.

"Meeting!" answer Kenzo.

Highlight Calina's eyes turned on Kenzo's left side. There were eyes that also saw it from the passenger's bench. As he tried to peek, the green light was already on. The car must go back.

"Be careful!" exclaimed Kenzo waved his hand while advancing his car as well.

Calina who was filled with question marks who was beside Kenzo just nodded and smiled clumsyly. Hands waving slowly.

When Alphard's car passed Kenzo's car along with Calina's windshield, she could see who was in the front passenger seat.

The blonde girl he met was having lunch with Kenzo at the mall a few months ago. The smile that was engraved instantly vanished just like that. His mind drifted somewhere.

He just stayed with the wishful thinking that never ends. A dream that has not been achieved.

' Who exactly is that woman? '

Calina asked in her heart.

In the last days leading up to her son's birth, Calina wished Kenzo would accompany her. Suppresses pain during childbirth.

But the girl? Who her? Why is it always present on Kenzo's side?

Calina's guts grow to win the heart of a Kenzo. He rubbed his distended stomach, to find strength from within. In his heart he wished not to be jealous. But where could he possibly do. His heart is in the name of Kenzo Adhitama.

Especially after he found out, if Gilang the god of salvation is Kenzo. Gilang's name was only made a disguise. All is revealed, when Calina finds the motorbike she once drove is parked in the two-wheeled parking lot of the apartment.

🍄 Flashback Off . . .

From the story, who would have thought if tonight, it turns out his daughter actually has a facial line similar to Kenzo. Although the man was not Clarice's real father.

Calina smiled. Recall those times. Burying the fear of the child who will not have the figure of a father.

"Daddy Kenzo loves you very much, son." - Calina kissed her daughter again.
