Different Faiths But the Same Amen

30. Varen Angry

After paying, they start to get hungry. Varen's father took Varen and Ticia to dinner. He had previously contacted his girlfriend that they were going to dinner at the Mall.

Varen glanced at his watch. He just realized that he had not prayed mahrib. And now it is also past the hour of prayer isya'.

"Sir Vava hasn't prayed, has he?" Ticia is very sensitive to the gestures of lovers. As soon as Varen glanced at his watch with a slight surprise. Ticia realized that the man had forgotten to pray. Maybe because inside the Mall can not be heard the sound of the Adhan.

"Yes, I pray first!"

"Pa, Gio wants to pray, papa pray all yuk!" bring Varen.

Varen's father was silent again. He's just like Varen. He forgot when he last prayed. Maybe since his wife left, his father Varen no longer practice his worship well.

"Look pa!" Varen drew his papa's hand, making his papa instantly aware of his daydream.

"Lo wait here for yank!" varen said to his girlfriend.

"Leticia doesn't pray?" ask papa.

"Leticia kristen pa." answered Varen still pulling his papa's hand.

About fifteen minutes later Varen and his papa had returned to the place where Ticia was waiting. Then they went to the restaurant in the mall.

"Hi Jane, it's been a while?" his father Varen approached a middle-aged woman with a girl in glasses.

Varen frowned. Varen knew the woman. That woman was one of her mother's friends. Varen did not suspect at all the closeness of his papa with the woman. Varen thought that they met by chance.

"Gio, you're so big, son," said the woman named Jane.

"Yes tan" said Varen.

Varen begins to get suspicious when her papa asks her to eat with Jane and her daughter. But Varen still can't guess exactly. Varen's guess is, if he'll be betrothed to his mother's friend's son.

"You remember Rosalinda, Gi? Aunt's son?" ask Jane while introducing her son.

"Yes, still.." answered Varen coldly.

"Oh yeah, this?" Jane pointed at Ticia who had been silent earlier.

"My girlfriend, Leticia." answered Varen quickly.

The dinner felt so strange to Ticia who was an outsider. When it comes to the past, Ticia is just a listener. However, Varen does not want his girlfriend to feel bored. She repeatedly clasped Ticia's hand by always making jokes with her.

Rose, her real name is Rosalinda. Looking at Varen with a stern. Rose was amazed by Varen's good looks. They have known each other since childhood. But I rarely meet. And from a small child also Rose already likes Varen. A brave and always cheerful boy.

"Gi, this Rose just came home from her grandmother's house, the plan is she will stay here and will go to school in the same SMK as you.." his father said Varen as if he knew everything about Jane and her daughter.

"Well, what's wrong with school, why should Gio report?"

"Yes, papa just wants you to take care of him at school later, because you will be brothers." Varen's papa words immediately made Varen shocked and stopped his hand about to put food in his mouth.

"Brother? Meanin?" Varen asked seriously. Even the look on his face started to turn sour. It is certain that he actually knew the meaning of his father's words. But he just wanted to confirm his conjecture.

"Papa wants to marry Jane's aunt." answered his father Varen with confidence, as if sure if Varen would not reject the idea of his father.

"Haw? Same aunt Jane? Keep mama?" Varen looks very disappointed with his papa's decision.

"Your mom's gone, doesn't know where she is now, she doesn't care about you"

Brakkk.. Varen kicked the table in anger. "Mommy the one who loves Gio the most, keeps thinking, papa cares about Gio?" Varen can't control his anger.

"Papa love you, you're the only son of papa, you're the continuation of papa's life, son." said his father tried to calm his son's anger. Varen's father had also predicted. But he was too sure that Varen would set aside his ego for his papa.

"Since when did my aunt Jane date? Did you guys still have time to date? Is this because my mom left me?" varen asked a little screamed from being too angry.

He thought his father sincerely admitted his mistake this afternoon. And trying to make it up to now. But it turned out that it was all planned before.

"Tante must have seduced me, right? Aunty gatel really! Of the many men, why should papa me anyway, who is clearly the husband of a close friend aunt!" varen said angrily.

"Gio!! Don't be rude to Aunt Jane!! Your mom left because-"

"Mas!" Jane cut Varen's papa off, slightly shaking her head.

"Because what pa? Because you got caught cheating on me with this gatel woman,"

Plakkkp.. For the umpteenth time, his father Varen slapped Varen in public.

"Well.." Ticia exclaimed in shock at Varen's actions. In public, his father beat his own son.

"Dragon your mouth!! Mama you left because she was caught cheating." exclaimed her father Varen.

Jamb... Varen rounded his eyes to hear his papa's words. Varen did not believe what his father said. She was sure her mother was not that kind of woman. Varen could see that his mother loved his father very much.

"Your mom has the heart to cheat on me, but papa is very dear to your mom, you also know that.." continued his father Varen sadly. Sad or perhaps sorry to have hit his son again.

"Until now Gio will not agree to marry someone else.. And again, Gio did not believe what papa said!" said Varen then pulled Ticia's hand to leave the place.

"Guo!!!" exclaimed his papa but Varen did not turn his head at all. He even left the shoes that his father had bought.

"Udah let Gio calm down first mas!" Jane held Varen's hand and chased Varen. From the look of his face it is clear that his papa Varen is sad. Especially when he saw the shoes he bought for his son left at the dining table.

"What should I do? He must be very angry at this fact?" said Varen's papa with a sorry face. For two years he kept secret meetings behind the passing of his wife. So that Varen will not be hurt by this reality. But the longer you keep the carcass. It will smell too.

"Let Gio calm his mind first! Now we eat first!"

"You're the same Rose who ate, I'm not a laper.." under those circumstances Varen's papa had absolutely no appetite to eat. He was thinking about his son who looked very disappointed.
