Ballad of Love Son of Man

Malicas

Malika smiled looking at the face of Axell who looked at her without blinking.

"Why do you see me like that Cep?"

Axell chuckled in embarrassment to be caught looking at Malika in awe. He picked up his drink and started sipping his ice capucino card.

"I'm surprised and proud to see you have successfully achieved your goals first.Very proud Run, not in vain you sacrifice our love first"

"Ohuk.uhuk.. Uhuk.. " It felt as if his neck was suffocating to hear the praise containing the insinuations of the man.

"Hmmmm... Are you still mad Cep? I'm sorry again, right?! a thousand times sorry to make my decision. Make no mistake, because you too I can be like this" he said softly. She is now a mature woman.

Malika's attitude was very explosive, if she wanted something it had to get her, even she was willing to sacrifice her feelings and love story to reach her ideals. According to him at that time, if they were paired then God would meet again on another occasion, but the opportunity to become a flying soldier like now is only one time present and that was in his youth. He didn't want to let that golden opportunity pass him by.

She remembered her mother who had gone home when she would be inducted into the best soldier and the first female aviator in her class. Mother who whipped up her spirit as she almost gave up. And the mother who suffered a lot because of her separation from Dad since she was a child.

Mother worked day and night to help support herself and her sister Kartika who had never seen her father's face since childhood. Even when she was sick, she still worked as a cook in a very disciplined Japanese restaurant.

The salary of a mediocre mother makes her have to really try hard to be a smart child and get a scholarship in school so as not to burden her mother.

"Ohya Cep, how's your brother doing? " Malika tries to divert the conversation which makes her feel guilty towards Axell.

" Alhamdulillah is better than when entered yesterday, but still have to bed rest also in the Hospital a few days until completely recovered. "

Malika smiled her gingsully teeth poking out. "Thank God it's getting better"

"Then how is your Papa? ohya you live now where Run?" Axelle plucks a fries and chocolates them with sauce.

"Papa must put the ring, and now I'm stationed in Jakarta. I've been here three months. "

Axell was happy to be close to the girl again. He and Malika are indeed adrift 2 years older than Malika. Therefore Axell felt very comfortable to be near Malika because of Malika's assertive nature and snacking.

Although much older than Axell but the face of Malika is very Baby face, her small lips with a slim body and eyes Tomorrow even make her look younger than Axell.

"ohya you studied medicine, right Cep? means you know dong medical problems. Can I consult Papa's health problem"

Axell nodded then they discussed with each other the health problems of Malika's father. Then Axell asked the whereabouts of his Ex-girlfriend's Mother because she had met several times while still a lover of the girl.

" So your mom's gone, Run? I'm so sorry, Aunt Yasmin is so good, if I may know what Aunt Yasmin is sick? " ask Axell concerned.

"Mama got a liver and has been leading to sepsis said the doctor, Mama never complained, but when Mama started complaining everything was too late. Mama's liver has been damaged and had to undergo a liver transplant that was the result of fifty-fifty said the professor who handles it. God loves Mama more. He was taken when he wanted to perform tahajud prayers at home" Malika's tears did not fall. In front of the man he was not ashamed to let out his sorrow.

Axell thrust a sheet of tissue at the girl, if only they were still a couple of lovers then Axell would not hesitate to hug her, but now only such actions can be done.

And for almost an hour they enjoyed the togetherness they had not done for long. Malika's phone rang, she immediately took it in her handbag, it turned out that Kartika was calling her.

Kartika told me that their father was allowed to go home tomorrow morning by the doctor. A smile expands at the corner of her lips. His mind that was still heavy now felt light because one problem had been resolved.

It turned out that his Papa had not gone to leave them and abandoned them, but his two Papa parents who separated them because they did not approve of the relationship of Papa and Mama who were Orphans. His father was taken abroad and told that his son and wife had died in an accident.

What a cruel lie, Malika and Kartika only met her father when the mother gave the address of her father's extended family home in Jakarta. When Malika had finished her education while on leave she took Kartika to Jakarta to look for her father's trail. After asking here and there Malika finally met her father when the old man was sitting daydreaming in front of a large house that was not maintained.

Malika sighed heavily she did not want to tell Axell her sad family story. Let time answer everything Axell asked. After exchanging addresses, the two of them separated for a while and promised to meet again as soon as possible because they were already in one city, making it easier for them to meet.

 

Andrea fell asleep due to the influence of the medicine she was drinking. Mama waited for Axell's arrival who was only a minute but almost an hour she had not returned from the cafeteria.

Papa sent a message to Mama that later Papa's friends would come to visit Andrea because they knew that his co-worker's favorite daughter was sick.

The door on the door was knocked from the outside, and Mama opened the door. Seemed his bachelor son came with a smile.

"Axell's canteen moved to Germany huh? "joke her Mama in a whispering voice afraid to wake Andrea up.

"Hehe.. Sorry Ma, but Axell made a deal with Malika. "

Mama's eyebrows wrinkled. He was amazed to hear the words of his bachelor son.

''If your ex-girlfriend used to go to school? how can I meet here? is not his home in Surabaya deck? "

Axelle sat in front of her Mama holding her mother's hand with a bright face and sparkling eyes

"Hehe... I remember Axell's ex-girlfriend. Good thing only one try if there are ten do you remember too? hahahaha" Axell replied jokingly.

Mama pinched slowly on the cheeks of her youngest child.She was close to her two children so that her children were always open to her when dating anyone. Even when breaking up, Mama became the first person to cry for their separation.

"Malika now lives in Jakarta Mah, and her father is now being treated here for heart disease"

"Pity for Malika's father. "Axell nodded then he took out a box of rice fields for his Mama's lunch.

"Mama lunch first, Axell had eaten earlier with Malika" his mother smiled to receive rice given her son. Andrea woke up to the smell of food from the box that her sister was carrying.

"Cell please get Brother a drink"he orders and his sister gets him a glass of drinking water.

"I can't say hello from Malika. Axell met her. "Andrea nodded and returned Malika's greeting.

"Cell, could it be that kakaka is outpatient at home? brother is here" said his brother.

Axelle chuckled at the sight of her nagging older sister wanting to go home. He explained that his physical condition is completely healthy so that 2 more days will be allowed to go home.

Andrea grumbled in annoyance.
