All For Love?

Remembering the Past

"Oh, it's a rame." Papa exclaimed as he just walked into the house and found Rio and Fery joking.

"Eh om? New come om?" Ask Fery.

"Yes, have you been here a long time? Where's alfin?"

"We haven't been here long. Alfin's taking a bath."

"Oh that's why you've enjoyed the drinks and snacks first. I also want to go to the room first. We'll eat the mallem together here."

"Well, we're so not good, often given free food just like om. So want to stay here just let get free every day. Hehe." Fery cengenesan.

"Lo wants that. Gratisan mulu mulu mind." mela Rio.

"Lo's lyrics." grunts Fery.

"Already, already, if you want yes papa not just stay here, om also happy home so rame."

"No need pa, if they stay here, not rame anymore, ruffled yes." I said from the stairs.

"Alfin, coincidentally. Someone wants you to talk to me about it. But papa change clothes first yeah, sultry."

"Okay, pa."

LOVE POV

"Mama." I said that I had just arrived home and immediately hugged my mother.

"Mommy's son just got home?"

"Yes, ma. Mama just rest yes, let the love that changed this settle all. Mama must be tired, right?" I said when I saw the messy kitchen. Yes, my kitchen will always be a mess every day because my mother is a cake seller. My mom did it to continue our lives.

Honestly, it feels sad to remember the past where my mother and I lived well before finally the bitch was present in our midst.

Since mama and papa separated, mama chose to live in a small house that only enough to live in no more than four people. Actually papa has given us complete facilities and monthly money that is very enough for me and my mother as a form of responsibility towards me as a father. Isn't that reasonable? Mama and papa are allowed to separate and do not have any relationship anymore, they are only bound because of my existence.

When they separated, papa had already said that papa would still hold his responsibility towards me. Although to be honest at that time I wanted more if papa and mama stay together, but seeing mama who almost every day crying makes me have to mengikhlaskan loss papa in my view but not from my heart. But his new wife who did not like it and did everything she could until he finally revoked all the facilities.

One month after the divorce of my mother and father, the woman managed to make papa a terrible monster in my eyes. Papa became very arrogant and emotional. Even papa doesn't care about me and mama anymore, until finally the woman drove me and the mother from the house that papa gave to me on the grounds that the house was owned by the papa company and will be sold for the addition of capital to the opening of a new branch of the company.

Mama, who at that time did not want to argue with the woman, chose to leave the house without informing papa, blocked all access papa to meet me and finally mama occupies this small house, he said, the house you bought from the rest of his savings while still with papa first. To be honest, I was very ill with that situation. My figure who was still three years old was still in desperate need of complete affection from both my parents. But papa, he selfishly sacrificed my feelings just for the sake of his pleasure.

And for the sake of connecting life, mama used her skills to make cakes and sell them with a deposit system. We were really at our lowest point, so it made me realize that this was all because of papa, and from then on I hated papa. Papa left us and made our lives difficult, even mama never had any money at all and had to ask for mercy from the neighbors so they would give mama a little food to eat. Luckily there was Anita, our next door neighbor who was very nice and always helped us when we needed the help of others.

"No papa, honey. My mom is not so tired today. Anita just resigned from her office. So he was here to help mommy and give mama an offer of cooperation."

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, so Mbak Anita has plans to open a cake shop, and because the cake made by this mama is delicious, so mbak Anita would like to join the cooperation, so, he's the one who prepared the capital and the mama who made the cake."

"Bak Anita is good ma! Her husband and children are also good. Tomorrow Love will meet Anita's mother and thank Anita's mother."

"Good boy. Yeah, you take a shower, change clothes, keep eating, gih."

"Love had eaten outside invited Salsa to stop by the restaurant near the complex next to ma."

"You're the same as Salsa? How did you stop by? Mama misses him."

"Yes ma, Cinta had stopped by but she was in a hurry because her mom wanted to go to KL. Ordinary, his papa's on a business trip. And he said he'd be here tomorrow. Can you, ma?"

"By dong dear. Salsa's been mama's own son."

"Well, love shower first!" I kissed my mama's cheek and passed to my room to clean up.

After the shower I immediately rushed to help mama check the ingredients of the cake that was about to run out and buy it to the nearest cake shop.

"Ma, here's what you want out of butter cream, margarine, so-..."

For your information just yes for you guys, because almost every day I help mama make a cake if you are free, so a little I know and understand the ingredients of the cake that mama usually uses.

"Yes, you can buy anything less, son. Oh yes Cinta, it was Iwan telfon, the day after he wanted to go to Jakarta. So he asked you to pick him up at the airport. You miss the same thing you said."

Hearing the name of Iwan, my heart is a little bitter. Om Iwan is my father's sister and the only family who still think me and my mother exist. Because I don't know what the bitch said to papa and other family papa including grandparents, to make them hate mama and don't want to know more about us. But if Iwan still pay attention to us, he always pay attention to my needs. Om Iwan is very good, his attitude and disposition are very different from other papa families even with my papa who incidentally is his brother.

When my mother and I left the house giving papa, only Iwan was looking for us until finally when I stepped on the bench of High School, om Iwan could find our whereabouts. Quite a long time was indeed the time that om iwan needed to find our whereabouts because mama completely shut down access so that no one papa family could find us and hurt us again. I understand and do not protest the attitude of the mother like that because I know mama is really hurt by the treatment of papa and her cross woman, he said, I also feel the same way as you feel, losing the figure of papa in my life is really very painful.

"You why? How sad?" Mom asked who saw my face change.

"You don't want to see Iwan?" My mother's question was only answered with a headband.

"Love is just papa's keinget, ma. Papa completely forgot about us. He forgot to have me as his son. Grandpa and grandma too. They never once looked for us and met us." I watered with teary eyes remembering my father's attitude towards me and also my mother.

"Hey! Why cry? Aren't you the one who always said we'd be okay even without them? Now you see how we are! Is it not better than seventeen years ago? Forgive me for separating you from your father. Mama just doesn't want you to get too hurt. I'm sorry I shut down your papa's family access so you can't find us." Mama's soft words while hugging me gave me peace.

"Mama is not wrong. Ma'amin Love, ma. Not that Love brings up the past. The grateful love of our life today is much better. Mama said, We are fine without them. And we don't need them." I feel guilty for my mom.

"Yaudah, Love bought the ingredients first yes ma before kemaleman." My next.

ALFIN POV

After a long time I joked with my two fairy friends, bi Surti invited us to dinner. I went to his desk to take him to dinner.

"Alfin, can we talk to you for a second?" Ask papa after I take her down but papa stops me when he wants to get out of his study.

"Can, what's the matter?"

"When your mom chooses to go with her boss, do you notice you never see you close to your girlfriends again?"

I was surprised by papa's question. To be honest I've never been close to women, but I just never played feelings with them. For some reason, the departure of my mother at that time really disappointed me.

At that time my papa business was bankrupt, and the mother who had worked as a secretary papa decided to work in one of the large companies of papa company competitors. In the company, Mama was accepted to work as a secretary of the company owner because maybe the ability of mama in her field is quite good.

Everything is still going normally, until one year after that, papa began to rise with the support of some business partners and also grandmothers who sold some of the assets of the grandfather so that papa can start to set up his business again. Quite time-consuming indeed because attracting investors is not easy especially because of the condition of papa companies that had gone bankrupt. But papa did not give up in order to continue to support me and mama, papa willing to work hard until rarely sleep so that his company can return to what it used to be.

But honestly, at that time I felt sad because my mother actually began not to pay attention to me and papa anymore. Almost every night I hear mom and dad fighting. I'm scared, I'm frustrated. Until finally one day papa went to a hotel because there was a business meeting with potential new investors from Japan. But when he arrived at the hotel, papa saw mama making out with her boss in front of one of the rooms, and then they both went into the room. That day, he canceled his meeting with potential foreign investors and left the hotel.

Papa came home in a state of chaos but still watched me. Papa bathed me and fed me after that put me to bed in the room. Because I was three years old at the time. Until finally midnight mama came home, and as usual papa and mama had a fight but this time had a big fight and made me curious and peek into their room.

I heard the words of my mother that still ring in my memory. That very night my mom went to be picked up by her boss to our house, papa was completely destroyed back then. Mama not only left papa, but she also left and forgot me as her son. And bi Surti who saw me curled up immediately grabbed me, hugging me gave me peace. Bi Surti cried when he hugged me like a mother.

These events always revolve around my memory. It made me never trust any woman except grandma, bi Surti, and bi Sumi.

"What are you doing, being close to women? They'll just hurt, and leave us." I said while holding back the rumbling anger within the chest.

"Alfin, papa understands how you feel. You're really hurt by your mom's attitude. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your future. Papa may be wrong and fail to choose a life partner, but I hope that what happened to me does not happen to you. You're papa's only son of papa's pride. Papa also wants to see you get married and have kids, give papa a cute grandson." Honestly, this word really makes me cramped.

I never even thought about seriously dating anything else to get married. I'm afraid that my chosen woman will be like my mother. I'm really scared, I don't want to be left out anymore. I don't want to be hurt anymore.

"Pa, Alfin's age is still twenty. Alfin has no thoughts of getting married."

"At least you're looking for a girlfriend, Al. Remember Al, not all women are like your mama. Among them there must be someone much better than your mother and ready to accompany you under any circumstances."

"But in fact the women who approached Alfin at this time were not much different from mama, pa. They just want to drain Alfin's wallet for their pleasure. Alfin never found a better woman than mama."

"Just not yet, Al, not never. You just need to get rid of your hurt and disappointment towards your mom, and open your little heart to the girls out there. Papa sure there must be some of them who really love you."

"We'll see, pa. But for now, Alfin still wants to be alone, enjoying Alfin's freedom." I said with a laugh that was followed by papa's laughter as well.

"Yes let's eat. Your friends must have been very hungry for waiting for us."

Arriving at the dining table I saw Rio and Fery had started eating first, then me and papa followed.

"Al, tonight papa will go to Surabaya to check our company there."

"How many days pa?"

"Papa's day is home."

"Well pa, papa be careful and take care of your health. If there's anything serious call Alfin right away and Alfin will help papa."

"Hahaha, Alfin, Alfin. Papa just wants to check the company doesn't want a brawl."

"Yes, Alfin did not want to know why. Papa don't get too tired."

"Good prince. I will remember the prince's message." Papa's words invited everyone's laughter.
