The Woman Who Was Hurt
Part 72 | Harmonious but stifling

Devano, Aisyah, and Dasha walked hand in hand, grasping each other tightly. The three of them were in a Mall and intended to spend their weekends walking and shopping at the place.

Since then Dasha has been very active and did not stop taking Devano and Aisyah to play with him. The child was very happy to spend time with his parents who had been separated from him.

"Come on, Ummi, pick me up again!" pinta Dasha with enthusiasm.

"OK, princess," said Aisyah and Devano who then compactly carried Dasha's body up.

"Yeah! Yea! Finally I became a queen!" Shouted Dasha cheerfully.

"Yeah, you are my queen" said Aisyah, kissing Dasha's cheek until her daughter laughed in amusement.

"No, Dasha, you're princess, baby. Not Queen, because the current Queen is still Ummi you," interrupted Devano who made Aisyah and Dasha glance at him cynically.

Devano immediately grimaced as he was stared at like that by his son and ex-wife.

"Hehehe, Abi was wrong?"

Dasha shook her head hard then smiled sweetly. "No, Abi is right, the Queen is still Ummi and the King is still Abi" he said which made Sang Abi scratch his neck wrong behavior.

A faint smile formed on Aisyah's lips. The woman was delighted to see Devano misbehaving in front of their daughter. "We got ice cream yuk?" invite him who then managed to divert the discussion.

"Pump! I want the same melon taste vanilla yes mi," said Dasha enthusiastically.

"Well, it turns out Abi nurun's taste to you yes, princess," said Devano who did not expect his son would like his favorite variant of ice cream a long time ago.

"Dasha could love your favorite ice cream maybe because when I was pregnant with her, I really liked eating ice cream with that taste," Aisyah's timpal that made Devano instantly speechless.

"Hyung, take care of my brother for a moment, I want to buy something there." Robbie leaves Kanaya to Lee because she wants to go buy something at the Mall.

"Don't be long, yeah" Lee said.

"Look Hyung, it won't be long" said Robbie who then got out of Lee's car and walked into the Mall.

While Lee and Kanaya waited in the car, until fifteen minutes later Robbie still did not return, either what the man bought so it took a long time.

Feeling awkward if he continues alone in the car, Lee also intends to take Kanaya out and snack at the cafe that is still in the same building as the Mall that was entered by Robbie.

"While waiting for your sister to finish shopping, you won't come with me to the cafe?"

Kanaya seemed to think for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

Arriving inside the Cafe Lee immediately invited Kanaya to sit in a chair opposite his chair.

"What would you like to order a drink with?" tanyanya.

"Just like Akhi's order," replied Kanaya who was less aware of the menus in the cafe.

"Ooh, okay."

Lee called a Waiters to quickly record his order.

"Please wait a moment, brothers," Si Waiters said politely after finishing taking down Lee and Kanaya's order.

"Okay ma'am" said Kanaya with a friendly smile.

After that the awkward atmosphere again enveloped Lee and Kanaya. Both of them think hard to find interesting topics of conversation on the sidelines waiting for their order coffee to come.

"Where are you now?"

"God is good, if Akhi how?"

"Alhamdulillah, good too."

"If you may know, why did you come home from a boarding school?" ask Lee to start kepo.

"I went home because I had no more expenses to continue my education in the boarding school, Akhi. Said Robbie, at this time he is short of money and can only pay for my treatment, while Mama's business is also less advanced," kanaya said frankly to Lee because she thought Lee was the right person for her to share her problems.

Not because Kanaya liked Lee, but because of the good attitude of the man who often paid attention to him like a brother. In fact, sometimes Kanaya is more comfortable expressing her heartbreak in front of Lee than in front of Robbie who is her own biological brother.

"Why didn't Robbie tell me he was short of money? Pedahal, if he tells me, I will definitely help him immediately," Lee said with a faint frown that appeared on his paripurn forehead.

"Maybe Robbie's sister doesn't want to bother, Akhi" Kanaya said.

"The reality is, helping him is not a troublesome thing for me, it is like an obligation because I am his best friend" Lee said.

"Well, how much money do you need per month?" asked Lee spontaneously.

"That's.., emh, du.., two million and five hundred are already paying for college, Akhi."

"Ooh, apparently not as expensive as I imagined, yes already then, let me just bear all your costs during the pesantren, agree?" lee said without thinking anymore.

Kanaya lowered her head and thought hard. To be honest in his heart he was eager to accept Lee's good intentions because he still wanted to study in pesantren, but on the other hand he does not want to owe and become a burden on the man who became his brother's best friend.

"Kanaya, be honest, you still want to expand the knowledge of Shari'a, right?"

Kanaya nodded confirming Lee's words. "Then please accept my good intentions, okay?" pinta Lee's.

Again Kanaya could only nod her head.

"Thank you very much, Akhi" said Kanaya.

"I promise to repay Akhi's kindness later on" he continued.

Lee smiled and shook his head slowly. "You do not need to repay, just study diligently so that you will become a noble woman of Sholeha."

"God willing, God willing, Akhi."

After that the long-awaited coffee order finally came. Lee and Kanaya immediately drank the coffee because they were worried Robbie had finished shopping and looking for them everywhere.

"Kanaya, let's get back to the car, it looks like your brother is done," Lee invites Kanaya to leave the cafe immediately.

Kanaya nodded and finished her coffee first before leaving to follow Lee from behind.

Upon arrival at the Mall lobby, Lee saw Aisyah and Devano holding the hands of a girl who walked in their midst laughing cheerfully. If seen the three of them look like a reflection of a harmonious family according to Lee.

But there was a stifling heart when a question arose why did Aisha not tell him about Dasha who was still alive and had been found?

Seriate....

Not sure if you want to go, Bun.
