CEO Seed
Chapter 8

The two men shut each other down. The two were busy arranging their hearts after the two-hearted feud this afternoon. Kania remained on her decision to leave that house. While Rama still has not allowed Kania and Shaka to leave his house.

Kania is not the type of person who feels troubled with others long enough. Especially with Rama who had almost never made him angry or provoked his emotions.

Wanting to start saying hello just asking what you have eaten yet, Kania went back and forth. Rama's mood has not improved.

"Om Rama." Shaka who had just returned from teaching and continued with the prayers of maghrib congregation in the mosque immediately rushed into the lap of Rama.

At that time, both corners of Rama's lips were perfectly attracted. What was originally stiff like a dry kanebo now looks soft and soft like a cake batter that is often made by Kania. And it sure tastes the same, sweet.

"Hi, boy! Just home?"

"Yes, Om. Shaka has memorized one more letter, Om." Shaka told it cheerfully.

"Oh, huh?" rama asked with an enthusiastic facial expression. "What letter is today? Try, Om Rama will listen."

"Today recite the letter of Al humazah, Om," said Shaka then memorize verse by verse which he had memorized smoothly. In fact, the verse from the letter is quite complicated for children of Shaka's age. Even the ages above Shaka are still many who find it complicated.

"Well, great whiz Om Rama." Rama praised Shaka with great admiration. The child can always attract the heart of anyone who sees it. His intelligence often amazed others. His good looks managed to attract many people. Not infrequently his cheeks become the target of the mothers of the study if Shaka invited to come to study by Imas or Kania.

Kania is grateful to see her son who has been good at religion from an early age. Hopefully until the big day, he is not like himself who as he gets older increasingly lazy to go to the mosque.

May also his son never imitate the behavior of his father. I don't know who and where he is now. Kania no longer thought about where the seeds came from so he grew up to be a child as smart as Shaka.

"We eat first, yes, Shaka. Om Rama was invited to eat first, yuk," said Kania trying to melt the ice between himself and Rama.

Shaka looked at Rama with his round eyes. "You eat. In bribe Om Rama."

"Eh, eat yourself, dong. Kan, it's big." Kania chimed in on Shaka's request which was always spoiled if there was Rama. Maybe his little heart misses his father. He has that figure in Rama. But he could not call Rama father.

Shaka's lips curled up not like the ban on his mother. "You're on a bribe Om Rama."

"Mkkk"

"It's okay." Rama interrupts Kania's speech, who tries to ask Rama to eat for himself. "Yes, let's eat, pinter boy. The Whiz Om Rama. Nuhhh... It's getting heavier, anyway, you." Rama lifted the body of the kingpin Rama into his car and walked towards the kitchen.

Various kinds of Kania hand-made foods have been presented on the table. There is chicken soup for Shaka because it does not eat spicy food. There is a fried chicken Rama's favorite. And there's a jengkol rendang for Kania himself.

"Pretty-beautiful eating jengkol," Rama insinuated Kania with ketus. Intended to melt the atmosphere, but still prestige.

Kania glanced in annoyance. Although it looks very prestige, but the nosiness has reappeared. "The bulls are flabbergasted."

"I'm handsome?" rama asked with jumawa. Mengulum her lips held back her smile as this was the first time Kania had said that she was handsome.

Kania who just realized with his words also immediately took drinking water and drank it to cover up his wrong behavior.

"Ciyee salting." Rama teased him again.

"What, anyway!"

"Om Rama, again. Don't tease the mother constantly" Shaka protested when Rama was late in bribing her for being busy teasing Kania.

"Eh, sorry Shaka. He forgot to mention Shaka. It's so pretty, anyway. Rama is not focused."

Seeing her, Kania just shook her head slowly even though her heart was getting fussy. Which woman is not mistakenly praised with such sincerity.

***

Time keeps turning, the day is getting night. Shaka had already fallen asleep in the room after many previous dramas.

Rama stands on the terrace preparing to go to the inn he always rents to stay at when he visits Kania and Shaka.

"I'm sorry that my decision was so sudden, Ram."

Rama took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He looked at Kania's pretty face that was highlighted by a small lamp in front of the house.

There was no point in Rama debating Kania. Nor is he entitled to forbid Kania to determine her own way of life. Let's just say the task is done even though Rama never wants to finish guarding Kania and Shaka.

"Nothing. I appreciate all your decisions. Sorry, I was emotional. I was shocked when Ms. Imas called me and told me you wanted to move."

Kania smiled full haru. It felt like I wanted to go into Rama's arms. But he's status conscious, also aware of where he is now. There will be slander if he is desperate to hug Rama in front of the house like this.

"Thank you, yeah. Thank you for being the support for me and Shaka all this time. Thank you for being a father figure to Shaka even though he can't call you dad." Kania wiped her falling tears. Remembering all the goodness of Rama all this time. He's always there when Kania needs to be.

Once Rama was willing to come all the way from Surabaya at midnight when Kania panicked because Shaka's body was hot high.

"You want a hug?" Rama spread out both his hands. Make room for Kania.

Kania laughed between her tears. He shook his head. "Pengen, but afraid in the church," he said who was greeted with laughter by Rama.

"I'll go back, yeah. What time is the transfer tomorrow?"

"Four ten, deh, kind of a little shit ain't nothing."

"OKAY. I'm back, yeah. Good night, good rest. May there be a miracle tomorrow."

Rama's words made Kania look at Rama questioningly. "What miracle?"

Rama smiled a little. "It's nothing."

Rama immediately left Kania who was still looking at him with a confused look.

Yes, that is the prayer that Rama often said. May tomorrow be a miracle, may in Kania's heart grow a love for her. Hopefully tomorrow Kania and Shaka will not move.

Even though Rama thought it was impossible, it never hurts to pray, right? His efforts are at the maximum limit.

Because when the effort is on the line, let the prayer fight in the sky.

At three o'clock in the morning, Devan had just set foot back in the country after six months in Dubai to develop his company there.

Mobile phones that have since departed in turn off, are now starting to turn back on. There have been dozens of calls from the queen mother who are increasingly fussy after the incident five years ago.

The more sophisticated Devan after years of not finding a woman who was a victim of Devan who disappeared like in the swallow of the earth.

Hanum is worried about the fate of the woman and her granddaughter, who may now be four years old. Therefore Hanum continued to urge Devan to go home immediately to continue their search that has not been fruitful for four years.

Same with Devan. He's worried too. Especially if the woman is actually pregnant with her child. Wondering how they are now?

Live with their worth?

Or is the woman not defending her child?

Or maybe the woman is not pregnant?

In the past, since doctors diagnosed him with couvade syndrome or sympathetic pregnancy, a condition in which the husband feels symptoms similar to his partner who is pregnant, it only lasted for two months. It makes Devan think that it could be just the doctor's fault in diagnosing.

The woman is not pregnant. Or indeed pregnant but already in the quagmire.

But somehow his dear mama was so sure that she had a granddaughter who now knew where and how her fate was.

"Eh, sorry, sir." Devan accidentally hit a pilot who had just entered the airport.

The young pilot smiled amiably. "No problem, sir. Come on, good morning."

"Good morning." Devan replied with a speech as the pilot passed.

Devan was fixated on seeing the pilot's face which Devan felt was no stranger to him. I don't know where, Devan seemed to have met the pilot.
