A Couple of Ex

A Couple of Ex
20


The hospital's central park.


Dimas and Stella sat side by side, both equally awkward after years of not seeing each other face to face.


"How are you, madam?"


"How are you doing Dimas?"


They asked the same question, then smiled at each other awkwardly.


Stella embraces her own body, the doctor's suit she wears, only able to alleviate a little of the chill that plagues her body, this must be because she hasn't touched her dinner yet, seeing that it was dimas hurriedly held out the tablet in his hand, whether intentionally or not, already in an open state.


"Please take care of my goods madam, I will buy you warm food and drinks."


Dimas immediately ran, before Stella had time to refuse, or even run away when he went to buy food.


Stella was stunned staring at the tablet screen in her hand, a boy was playing with his little dog, of course he was no stranger to the face, he was, because Andre also has a face that ninety-nine percent similar to him, well he is Kevin.


Unknowingly his fingers outstretched rubbing the little boy's face, to make the tablet screen shifted to the next page, where it looks like the boy was laughing widely in his papi sling, 'like this photo when they go on vacation to the amusement park', muttered Stella, because there are many people and some rides games.


Because it was wet, stella was looking for other photos in the gallery, various poses and styles of the boy, really make anyone who saw it so laugh with anxiety, even as he cried looking very funny and more handsome, the more pictures he saw, the more his heart haunted by the feeling of longing.


At the beginning of the breakup and the difficult times first, Stella often dreamed of hearing the hysterical cry of Kevin seven years ago, then he woke up with a body drenched in sweat and tears, and then he woke up with a body of sweat and tears, how sorry he was for not being able to hug and calm Kevin at that time.


After that, again Stella can only hope, hopefully Kevin will not hate himself, if God still wants to meet Stella with Kevin.


Stella seemed to be getting swept up in the charm of her own son, the more seen, the more he fell asleep, Dimas just keep a photo of Kevin there, when it must be a tablet that he used to report work affairs, and Stella was so grateful for it, that she was able to enjoy many pictures of kevin, and greedily kept each picture, in her memory, in her memory, as if it were a reserve supply of food for the next few years.


Stella's gaze stopped at the last picture in the gallery, kevin small, pale, his face looks puffy and not excited, seen quietly resigned in Alex's arms.


Stella herself could not interpret her feelings, the last image made her heart more torn, hugged the tablet tightly, as if it was her little kevin, "I'm sorry mommy .. forgive mommy ...." that was all Stella could say between her tears.


Dimas who arrived a while ago could only silently stare at his boss's ex-wife, his mind raging, wanting it to feel like he woke Alex up right now, and yelling, "boss, your ex-wife is here, why don't you get up yet," but of course he can't, because Alex is still under the influence of anesthesia, Dimas finally just sits down on Stella's side.


Until a few minutes passed, Stella still crying for Kevin. After being satisfied to shed his tears, Stella realized that Dimas had returned.


Dimas held out a tissue that he brought home from buying food.


Stella dried her tears with a tissue, "That's a picture of the young master returning from the hospital at the time" Dimas explained. "The young master was treated for three days, and still could not sleep before the doctor gave him sleeping pills, therefore, he was unable to sleep, the boss brought the young master home forcibly because he could not bear to see the young master who was continuously given sleeping pills."


Dimas held out the meat soup that he had opened the wrapper. She remembers that Stella loved meat soup because after work, Alex often bought Stella meat soup when she was pregnant with the twins.


Stella receives the soup that Dimas bought for her, and is starving very quickly Stella exhausts her soup.


"Just like madam" replied Dimas.


"Don't call me madam, I'm not your boss's wife anymore,"


"But you are the mother of the young master, so to me, you are still the young mistress."


Stella smiled as she heard Dimas. "Tell me, what's Kevin like?" Stella was curious and wanted to know more about Kevin.


"Young master, a kind, capable and cheerful child, his nature made everyone comfortable to be around him, which is why he had so many friends at school, even at home he does not like to trouble Ima, although sometimes Mr. Alex does not go home, because of work."


Unconsciously Stella smiled to herself, 'apparently she is like me' murmured inwardly. "Did Kevin ever ask me?"


Dimas nodded, "Get up, and Mister simply replied that one day you must come back."


"How could he be so sure?" Stella smiled faintly, how could Alex speak as confidently as that, while there would definitely be another woman standing beside her.


"Throughout the years, Mr. Alex has been searching for you, but you've just disappeared" Dimas said.


'My sister's husband hid me well, even taking away my true identity, ' Stella said.


"Any time, young master always wishes you to return madam, I know that, because the young master who always looks cheerful, and happy, yet is alone, is, he looks dreamy sad to miss your presence."


The clear liquid returned without excuse, however Stella was still a mother, hearing the news of her son's sadness, her heart seemed to be sliced with pain. "Content ... I'm still thinking, can I come back?"


Dimas breathed a heavy sigh, no matter how hard he tried to convince his boss' ex-wife, he still should not overdo it to interfere in their personal affairs. But seeing little Kevin who misses his mother makes Dimas also not bear.


"Tomorrow morning, the first day the young master set foot in his new class, and the boss deliberately finished his business early so that he could go home soon, because tomorrow morning had to take the young master on his first day to school," Dimas again told him without asking, "But it seems like the boss can not keep his promise."


And Dimas continued to tell at length about his young master, Stella was so swept away to enjoy the flow of the story about his little Kevin, as if it was a beautiful fairy tale.


"Madam, may I ask for a photo of young master Andre, it would be nice if they were seen in one frame, Dimas's request was quite surprising to Stella.


"Are you crazy? what if Alex knew, "however Stella hasn't wanted to maybe not even be ready to meet Alex again, Stella's afraid her heart will come back to want the man.


"What if the boss finds out?" dimas asked suspiciously, don't don't Stella really really want to disappear from her boss's life.


"Dimas ... Let's just say we never met tonight,"


The wind blows the leaves, but not making Dimas shift from his place, he is confused as to what to witness the strange romance story of the boss and his ex-wife.


'If it were me, I would have happily ran and approached her back'.
