Bakoh Shoulder

Chapters 141. Longs

This morning, as usual, Teguh will go to work. All was ready, but his feet were still reluctant to leave the house which had been a witness to every incident he experienced.

His eyes were on every side of the house. The focus is locked on a clay jug that until now he still uses to hold drinking water even though he already has a dispenser and a refrigerator which is sure the water is much cooler soothing.

Today was different, he seemed to want to linger at home. Not because he was lazy, but he just missed. Long for the cheerful figure who goes with the love in her heart. Missing the mother of her child, miss her Nur.

"My days are just waiting for the time to come and unite us.. You know, how hard can I press this miss on you? So difficult.. Sometimes I think it might be better if I go first than you."

"May I complain a little? Deck, your man is not as strong as he looks. Fragile without any supporting backrest, strong me to cover my longing for you."

Jug of water that was once diligent Nur fill when morning and evening, to welcome Teguh when returning home pulling a rickshaw first. Of course Teguh did not mean to talk to the jug, but sometimes the empty feeling in the heart suddenly appeared.

Especially now that Ayu has grown up, the time to gather with Teguh is of course reduced due to the many activities from campus. Tasks are piling up, and the little girl is trying to expand her business with frequent promotions on social media. The ease of attracting consumers through social media is really used by Ayu.

Proud. Of course, which parent is not proud of his child's accomplishments that are far beyond his shadow. And what makes Teguh always grateful to have Ayu as a trust that God gave him is his humble nature, also upholding the norms that Teguh taught his son.

Without being on the steering wheel, Ayu seemed to know where to go to tread the harshness of the world. Respect for parents is a mandatory thing that is embedded in him. That is why even though Vera used to hate him so much, there is no intention in Ayu's heart to hate the mother of her late best friend, Dinda.

"Sir.. Father why?" Ask Ayu who appeared from her room.

"What's the matter why Yu?" He answered his son's question by asking back.

"So, by yourself.." Ayu said.

Ayu knew and heard clearly what her father had said. Not guessing, but Ayu can tell if his father is currently missing the figure he also misses.

"Father also misses mother sir.. Ayu is proud of his father, has been a dozen years in the stay of his mother but not the least father forget his mother. Father's love for mother is still the same, even though mother is no longer with us. Father opened Ayu's eyes, awakening Ayu.. If the parable of love penetrates space and time it is true."

Without being ruled, the tears just escaped. Ayu cried as if understanding her father's inner suffering. Loving but hindered by the destiny that separates the body from the life is the greatest heartbreak. Want as hard as anything to look, only a headstone was found bearing the name of the idol of the heart.

"It's okay.. Our prayers will always connect us with our mothers.. I'm not banning it." A box of tissue is placed firmly for Ayu.

They both dissolve in their minds. Until finally Ayu reminded his father if he would be late if too long at home.

"Your college is in the afternoon, right? Be careful to go, do not speed with the motor. You work first." The farewell sentence from Teguh was greeted by Ayu's hand to kiss his father's hand.

Ayu looked at that back, which slowly drifted away and disappeared in the corner of the road. Luckily Ayu has a hardworking father and loves him very much.

Ayu knew her father could remarry, raise a new family and live without a shadow of his mother's past. With the good looks owned by his father and a career that is said to be quite good financially support a family, not a few women who want to be with his father. But, instead of accepting one of them, open your heart to another woman.. The focus is on raising and educating Ayu. Want Ayu does not feel bitter to be a person with all the shortcomings as he used to be.

Sitting among the grass in the garden. He chose the ground instead of the chair that was provided there. She is Selvie.

Her stomach isn't quite right if she's pregnant. It's just that he's tired a lot right now. It is very difficult for him to accept the path of his destiny, if he does not get the support of the Selvi family, he is desperate to abort his womb.

There he was alone. Just want to go out looking for the wind because it is saturated at home. Many events in his life later really galvanize a Selvi to be able to think more rationally.

Long ago, he was a spoiled man. He would do nothing but trouble his parents. The peak when he likes Ervin, his world seems to be turned upside down by circumstances. Ervin is a married man, and he wants to have Ervin through shaman rocks because of his friend's advice, and to the point of his slump. The shaman left a seed in his womb before the shaman left the world forever.

"Sorry not intentionally.." Said a man who accidentally nudged Selvi's leg slammed into the ground.

"Yes.." Selvi lightly. Life was tired again, he did not want to add to the burden just by checking in public places.

The man gradually left but before long he came back and thrust ice cream at Selvi. Selvi did not accept it, he looked at the ice without intending to take it.

"As an apology.." Said the man hoping Selvi would accept his gift.

"There's no poison." Another imbibing.

"I don't like ice cream.. Melted chips." Selvi. Even though he did not like the man who could be said to be so familiar.

"Owh yes. Would you rather have ice cubes?" Asked the man really snobs.

Selvi stood up just as the man was sitting next to her even though she was still keeping her distance from Selvi.

"Excuse me.." Ijin Selvi wanted to leave the man who now followed her standing.

"I'm sorry, but that was not intentional." The hand was presumptuous to pull the hand of Selvi who wanted to leave as soon as possible from the park. He was uncomfortable with this guy.

"Lupain. I was also wrong, wandering around without looking at the place. I'm going to go.. Excuse me." Selvi threw that hand.

"I'm Theo!" The only known male is his widower Vera.

Selvi just smiled and left without saying anything.
