Different Faiths But the Same Amen

44. Live Aja First

Next day. As usual, Varen waited for Ticia in front of the church where Ticia used to worship. Varen also invited his mother. But Varen didn't tell Ticia before. If he takes his mother.

Varen hasn't told Ticia yet, either, that her mother's home.

From across the street, a straight-haired girl ran into Varen's car. That girl is Ticia.

"That's your boyfriend?" ask Dina to her son.

"Yes ma," Varen replied with a smile.

As soon as it's getting close. Varen got out of his car to greet his lover. Varen opens the car door for his girlfriend.

When Ticia got into the car. How shocked he was, seeing the middle-aged figure in the back seat. Seeing the shocked Ticia and a little nodule. Made Varen and his mother laugh.

"Yank, know this is my mama" said Varen introduced his mother to his lover.

With a slight nod Ticia nodded her head. Then he introduced himself to his mother Varen.

First meet Ticia. Dina immediately felt like for him. According to Dina, in addition to being beautiful, Ticia was also polite to her people. Most importantly, Ticia could make her son happy.

Dina could see it. Varen looks very happy when he is with Ticia. Dina could also see the childish attitude of her son while with Ticia.

"Gi, what if you anter mama home!" dina.

"Where to go ma? Your mother's house is here." replied Varen.

Dina then told her son. If for two years, he has started his business in a tourist village near the coast. "Mama can not long leave the business of mama sayank," he said.

"Keep mama can leave Gio again?" varen's question made Dina's heart throb.

"It's not like that, dear," Dina could not see her son sad.

"If you want, you can stay with your mom, but the distance to your school is also far."

"Mama doesn't love Gio."

"Dear, son.."

Ticia grabbed Varen's hand and grabbed it. Ticia wanted to ease the anger in her lover's heart. "Sister, what if we anter aunt Dina to her place of residence, all holidays." invite Ticia.

"Why don't you live with us?" varen's question began to melt after Ticia persuaded him.

"Sorry mama sayank, mommy and dad decided to split up. But, but even if we split, mama will fight for your custody." said Dina sadly. He regrets the destruction of his home. But she would also not be able to be with her husband anymore. Because her husband had chosen Jane as his future wife.

Varen wanted to be angry. However, Ticia gently clasped her hand. Makes it calmer. "Gio won't choose any of you. If you are divorced, Gio prefers to stay alone in the hostel." said Varen with a whipping taste in his heart.

The journey to Dina's residence takes 4 hours. Dina directs the speed of the Varen car to his restaurant. Initially angry, Varen did not want to get out of the car. But again because of Ticia's persuasion. Varen wants to go down and into his mother's restaurant.

"Smile dong!" ticia said as she pinched Varen's cheek.

Dina then introduced Varen to all his employees. Of course, the employees were shocked. Because all this time, they think if their boss is a woman who is still single.

"No, I'm married, and already have a son, my son's handsome son." Dina proudly praised her son in front of her employees.

Though at that time Varen's face looks sullen. Ticia repeatedly asked him to smile but Varen would only smile with a forced.

Dina then serves food for her son and his son's girlfriend. While occasionally Dina apologized to her son. Because he had taken a decision that his son might not be able to accept.

"Maybe aunt Dina has her own reasons for making such a decision, sis, maybe this is also the best for them. Even though they split up, they are still Vava's parents" Ticia advised Varen.

"Iya Gi, you already know where mama lives, so if you miss mama, you can come here." said Dina.

"Mama actually wants you to live with mom, but what will your school be? You want to change schools nearby?" continued Dina.

After repeated explanations from her mother. Plus Ticia's persuasion. Finally, Varen began to accept the decision of his father and mother.

"Sholat first! Vava hasn't prayed, has he?" Without much reason, Varen then asked his mother to drive him to the mosque. While Ticia stayed to enjoy the dishes that had been prepared by her mother Varen.

Seeing her son who was so obedient to Ticia's words. Makes Dina happy and worried. Glad that there's someone who can make her son. Worried about seeing differences in confidence between the teen couple. Dina was worried that they would break up. His son will be very hurt, considering his son looks very loving to his lover.

....

The white sand is wide. The waves are seen chasing each other and rolling with each other. The wind was blowing hard enough to lift Ticia's long hair.

The white sandy beach is full of people who are engrossed in playing water and swimming by the sea. Not a few who just sit to enjoy the beautiful view of the calming open ocean.

Varen and Ticia take a walk to enjoy the beach air that is not too hot. For three months of dating. It was their first time on vacation together.

Varen was very happy. He always held Ticia's hand along a walk on the beach.

"You want some coconut ice?" varen asked as they passed in front of the coconut ice vendor.

Ticia nodded her head. The atmosphere of the beach is very suitable accompanied by drinking young coconut ice.

"Sir Vava why are you still sad?" ticia asked while sitting by the beach while waiting for the young coconut ice.

"What do you think I should do?" ask Varen while leaning his head on Ticia's boat.

"Gue wants to stay with mom, but I can't be far from you either. I can't ldr-an. added Varen.

Ticia finally understood what her lover was thinking. Ticia set her eyes on the high seas. A moment of silence, after which he sighed softly.

"Have we not been dr-an all this time?" ask Ticia slowly. Instantly Varen raised his head and turned his head, looking at Ticia sharply.

"The most distant dr is not separated between distances. But Idr was the furthest when I went to church, and you went to the mosque. When I pray by folding hands, and you by raising your hands. When my hand held the rosary, and you held the prayer beads" Ticia said in a heavy voice.

"Yank.." Varen pulled Ticia into his arms.

They both know. That they shouldn't be together. But they can't fight their own feelings either. That their hearts have fallen in love with each other.

Ticia extended her hand. He also hugged Varen tightly. Just like Varen, Ticia also has similar concerns regarding their next relationship. Even though he always hides with the word 'just go first'.
