Ballad of Love Son of Man

Prologues

My phone rang for the third time on my desk. An unknown number is on my phone screen. I was reluctant to pick up a foreign number I didn't know. Because this is more than 3x finally I reluctantly slide the picture of the phone in green.

" Are you Andrea? I want to talk to you four eyes ! Meet me at the cafe Wind mamiri at lunchtime"he heard a voice from my phone.

I frowned trying to recognize the voice of the woman on my phone.

" I'm sorry who I'm talking to? " let me be polite.

"I am Aryo's mom. And I wait for you at the place I mentioned earlier. With respect! " Reply firmly. After that our conversation was interrupted ended from the mother of Kak Aryo.

Hmmmmm...

I have never been introduced to my lover's mother. Why does he want to see me now? How does he know my personal number? I still ask myself. But I don't want to ask Mas Aryo either.

After careful consideration I finally met Mas Aryo's mother at lunchtime.

My matic motor drove through a very hot road. Do not forget the jacket and mask cover mouth jg I have used so as not to overheat. My journey takes only 10 minutes because the Office with this mamiri wind cafe is not too far away.

I entered the courtyard of this cafe. The cafe in the style of young people is relatively new. The paint fence still looks bright. After I parked the motorbike in the yard I immediately entered the cafe. A cafe employee opened the glass door and let me in.

The cool air from the AC immediately made me comfortable. My eyes glanced to the right and to the left looking for the figure of mother2. In my shadow Mami Mas Aryo is a noble who wears kebaya ala2 office clothes with a bun on his head. But in this cafe I did not meet such a figure. Only a middle-aged woman in an expensive purple suit with a rose brooch I think had a diamond-eyed peck on her chest. His hair was shoulder curls and I saw in his fingers a white ring with a diamond in it. Maybe it's Mami Mas Aryo,. 🤨🤨

" Andrea! " Call the woman while waving her hand.

I'm approaching his desk. The cafe offers private rooms. So after I reached out to shake hands the woman invited me to enter the private room.

I don't know what to tell me until 2 he rented this room. Ah let there be no inner business as well as my feet follow his mad body.

After we occupy the bench that has been provided by cafe officials. Mami Mas Aryo called the maid. He pointed to the menu in the menu book. Then he asked me in his flat voice.

" Please order according to taste. " His voice was firm but polite.

" Carrot juice and tomatoes only mas. "I asked

then I saw the madam in front of me was busy choosing food. I looked curiously2 at his face. It turns out that curly hair and thin lips and an iron smile Mas Aryo is declining from his mami.

Maybe if he smiled really very charming beauty but unfortunately he is not the kind of friendly person like him. Then this Madam looked up maybe felt I noticed and I was swept away by myself.

" Ohya I Hanah Aryo's birth mother. Sorry for bringing you here. "

He said while looking at me sharply. I felt careless because maybe he judged my appearance from head to toe. The waiter came in with our order.After the waitress came out Madame Hanah started sipping Soursop Juice in front of her.

" Drink you must be thirsty. It was very hot outside" she invited me

I nodded and immediately thanked him while sucking my straw. Slowly the fresh taste began to wet my dry esophagus.

" Ohya, I'd like to ask you how far are you with Aryo ? And how long have you guys been in touch? " ask her to the point.

I squeezed my right hand. I feel like I'm being tried by a cruel judge.

" About 3 years, ma'am. " I answered slowly

" Hmmm... quite a long time yes, and are you still in touch with my child today? " fuck again.

I nodded for sure.

" Do you love my son? How much love do you have for Aryo,? " the question deeply troubling me.

I don't know why the air in this private room is getting hot. My sweat started to wet my work uniform.

" We love each other mom. If only there were scales that measure the level of love I might not be able to count it" I replied annoyed. He smiled widely and accompanied by his laughter that I heard was terrible.

"Hahaha... Is that true? I still believe in love! Huy! " said a little sneering. I looked again at Madame Hanah's eyes while looking for the fault of my words.

"Sorry ma'am, my break time is not long. there are more or less still 20 minutes long" I said I want to end this useless encounter

" If your love is very big and you can't measure it with scales then leave my son. Love needs sacrifice, right? so sacrifice for your love" she replied with a small smile but that smile made my heart stop beating for a few minutes.

I bite my lower lip hard. Slowly the salty taste of blood began to feel.

"Know since I was a teenager, Aryo I have been betrothed to my relatives' daughters. She's still 2 lineages from our grandmother. Frankly we want Aryo to pass on his Eyang lineage which is still the blood of the prince of nature nails to Xxxxxx... " Said casually.

" And the girl I'm going to make my son-in-law is the girl who is worth Aryo.he graduated from America. Next month he'll be back to meet Aryo. Coinciding with Aryo's graduation to become a young Officer"

Her Kata2 hinted that my relationship with Mas Aryo did not get her blessing. I'm still waiting for his word again.

"Andrea you're a beautiful and clever girl. I'm sure with his Walking time you can forget my son Raden Mas Aryo Wijaksono Hadinoto and can find his replacement quickly and easily. Or maybe you are asking for compensation from this sacrifice? "

" I'm sorry Madam.my love is sincere for Mas Aryo. I don't need any compensation from Madam. We have pledged our allegiance and after Mas Aryo has finished his education in the Military he will propose to me" I replied flatly and firmly

He laughs but there's nothing funny worth laughing at.

" Why are you confident that Aryo will apply after his education is over? Where can the power from so you dare to wait for it? I didn't say there was another girl who would be his partner" he said as if to harass my pride.

I exhaled an upset breath. This way I don't want to come. Oh my God there are still people who are crazy respect and crazy bloodline like Hanah's mother.

" Our extended family is very concerned about the weight, seedlings and bebet in looking for a son-in-law. So I beg you to leave Aryo. Keep going, hope you get a better replacement from Aryo. Not that I said you were not good but. I see there are differences between you that we cannot tolerate! " Said again. I tried hard to hold the crystal clear in my eye.

"If Mas Aryo approves Madam's Proposal. I'll follow her. " I was forced. Oh my love is so painful. Batinku.

"What you said makes no sense. If the Aryo I told you this was clear he would beat me. That's why I have to see you first. If you leave him first it will make it easier for him to make a decision" Corner.

My pride seemed to plunge to the bottom end at the bottom of my feet. Am I not worthy to be his wife? Am I so despicable in the eyes of this woman?

Would Mas Aryo's Answer agree with his mother's current request if she experienced the same thing with me?

" I have a reminiscence2an this accept. As a form of thanks to me because you have loved my son" he said while giving a box. He opened his own box.

A bracelet was thick white in color and all over its surface was shiny. And an envelope in which was written a blank check.

" Just write how much you need there. You can use her to please yourself with your family" her hand holds a check she pulled from the envelope.

Truly for the sake of my honor and pride as a woman, this crystal clear water dripped without me being able to hold it.

THE TEST!! THE TEST!!

I can't stand this treatment of Hanah's mother anymore. If he wants me to part ways with Mas Aryo I will do it soon as he no longer insults my pride.

I don't know where the power I get, I immediately reply to the words of the mother of the man2 I love.

" I Andrea will promise mom. Starting today between Saya and Aryo son mother is no longer a relationship what2 anymore! And the origin of mother remember. My love with Mas Aryo Insyaallah is sincere there is no need for me to sell my love with this stuff that I bring. My love is not bought. Thanks for the treat this afternoon"

Then I turned around and ran out of the cafe to come back to my office with tears. I did not weep at my decision, but I wept over the old man's arrogance. Assess all turns in value with the material.

My name is ANDREA LETA LETHISHA which according to Papa my name means BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER WHO IS A LEADER AND ALWAYS GETS HAPPINESS.

I am now 21 years old. And I'm a final semester law student at one of the most prestigious public universities in my city. I always did well in school so I got a scholarship to study here.

And while I was waiting for the thesis hearing I happened to get a job as a junior advocate staff at one of the law firm offices in my city.

I am the eldest of 2 children. My sister is AXELLE RADHIKA RAVINDRA who is 2 years under me. Now he's doing the same education at my college but he's choosing medical school.

I think I am beautiful and energetic. Though I think my face is the national standard of Indonesian women. Mamah ku is indigenous to Indonesia but Papahku still has Dutch blood.

But according to the story of the past eyang princess he still has Dutch blood from his great-grandfather. During the colonial era of Dutch colonial rule, Eyang's great-granddaughter married one of the Dutch Meneer. I am the 6th descendant. At least my yellow skin and my bangir nose are still an asset of my ancestors' heritage.

And Papah as a fifth generation get a high body heritage that exceeds the Indonesian people in general. Thick papah eyebrows, a runny nose and yellow skin dropped on me and Axelle. But Axelle's facial lines look more like Mom's thin and curly hair.

My hair is as straight as a shoulder. From the small Papah did forbid Mamah to cut my hair short. According to papah girls are more beautiful and elegant if they have long hair. If in a short barbershop what is the difference between Andrea and Axelle? Finally Mamah relented and since Kindergarten I've always had long hair. Papah likes to buy me a ribbon or hairpin colorful. So if you walk into my room and see my hair band collection on the dresser you'll be dumbfounded. Papah bought me the storage box.

I don't know why papah likes long-haired girls but I just realized it turns out Mamah also has long, well-groomed hair. But now Mamah has long been hijab. So long hair only visible when we are at home.

Frankly, I was close to both my parents, but papah was most busy if I saw I was sick or I was pouting. Patiently and painfully Papah always gave me whatever I wanted. Actually not much different from Axelle he jg closer to mamah but did not reduce their level of affection to us.

We come from a simple family. Papah I'm just a staff manager at an Indonesian gas company. While Mamahku as a tailor at home. Many neighbors and family and friends of the maamah from mouth to mouth that became his regular subscription. Mama only hired 2 assistants for sewing at home. And mama always numbered the uniting of quality over quantity.

In the house there is no conspicuous valuables like the houses of the people. There is only a carved Sofa from Jepara that my family has long owned. And the stocky brown teak heritage eyang princess is still well maintained by the soft touch of Mamah's hands. And household electronics that complement our home furnishings collection.

Although our house only has an area of 8 x 15 m but our house looks beautiful. The front yard is filled with a collection of orchids and mamah roses and a water guava tree that never stops bearing fruit.on the left side of the house or pavilion in the papah building for a sewing mama workshop. So if there are customers who want to sew or take the stitches can go directly to the pavilion without passing through the living room.

Family privacy is awake
