Different Faiths But the Same Amen

65. Provided He is Happy

Varen returned home with a body that had been soaked. Shortly after he left Ticia, out of anger. It rained quite hard. But Varen did not stop the speed of the bike. He kept breaking through the torrent of rain with his heart hurting.

Mama and her father who were chatting in the living room became anxious to see the state of their child. "Gio, are you soaking wet?" ask her mother worried.

"Same papa has good news for you. But you're hunting for a change of clothes, so you don't catch a cold!" Dina asks Varen to change clothes immediately. She also couldn't wait to tell her son about the cancellation of her engagement.

But Varen did not answer his mother's words. He continued walking towards his room without saying a word. His view is empty too. And not excited at all.

Arriving in the room. Varen went into the bathroom. The water coming out of the shower washed over his body. Varen punched the bathroom wall with his hand. A moment later he was crying. His heart was completely broken at that moment.

"Hiks.hiks.." Varen groaned under the water from the shower.

"Akhs...." He punched the innocent bathroom wall again.

After an hour has passed. Dina and Darwis felt there was something strange about his son's attitude. They decided to see their son in the room. Twice knocking on the door was no reply from Varen. Eventually they both enter Varen's unlocked room.

Dina and Darwis did not see their son. But they heard the sound of water running from inside the bathroom in Varen's room.

Tok tok tok tok

"Gi, are you still in the shower?" ask Darwis while knocking on Varen's bathroom door. There is no lawfulness.

"Son, are you still in the shower?" it was Dina's turn to knock on the bathroom door. There is still no word from Varen.

"Mas, it's been an hour since Gio went upstairs, why hasn't he come out yet?" tanya Dina had started to feel anxious.

"Gio!! Gio!!" call Darwis again. But Varen didn't get his papa's call.

"Mas, try to open the door!" pinta Dina is getting anxious.

Darwis tried to open the bathroom door. It turns out it's not locked. Dervish came in and saw his son sitting under the water, still in full clothes.

Darwis hurriedly turned off the shower faucet. And approached Varen who bowed his head between his knees. "You why Gio?" tanya Darwis was worried to see the state of his son.

"Why you?" ask her again while reaching for Varen's hand which felt very cold.

"Ma, Gio why is this?" it was Dervish who made Dina panic. Dina initially did not want to go into her child's bathroom. Because Dina didn't want to make her son ashamed. Although Varen is his biological son, but Varen is an adult. It would be very bad if he saw his adult son naked.

But because of her husband's panicked scream. Dina finally got into Varen's bathroom. He no longer thinks about anything else. What he thought was his son.

Lucky when he came in. Varen is fully dressed. It's just that he looks like a depressed person.

"Gio why you baby?" dina asked no less panicked than before. Dina approaches Varen and holds Varen's head.

Varen looked up at his mother. Tears were still on Varen's cheek. His handsome face looked very pale.

Seeing her son's appearance made Dina panic. "Why you, baby? Tell me mom!" ask her by crying.

Varen did not answer her mother's question. He was still crying a mouthful in his mother's arms.

Eventually Darwis helped his son change clothes. And Dina made some warm tea for her son. Also ask bi Suti to prepare dinner for his son.

Varen took a small sip of the drink. "Pa, Gio wants to be betrothed to Rose, but Gio needs to know Rose first before his fiancee" said Varen suddenly.

Of course, Varen's words made Dina and Darwis surprised. "You want to be betrothed to Rose?" tanya Darwis did not believe what she had heard before.

"Yes." Yeah."

"You sure? Keep your relationship with Leticia?" tanya Dina was also still doubtful about the words of her son.

"I'm the same Ticia can't be together. I want to try to have a relationship with Rose, who knows if we're a good match." replied Varen confidently. But it sounded if the tone of his speech was like an angry person.

"But papa don't tell Aunt Jane or Rose first. Let Gio start to get to Rose" Varen said.

Dina and Darwis agreed with their son's request. And they undo the intention to say what they will say before. Because Varen asked them not to talk about Ticia in front of him anymore.

****

Early in the morning, after arriving at school. Varen accidentally went to Ticia's class. But not to find or disturb Ticia. But to find Rosalinda.

Varen sat next to Rosalinda, right in front of Ticia. At that time Ticia was with Indah and Anabella was chatting as usual. Of course, Varen's attitude is not as usual makes Indah and Anabella become suspicious.

Anabella and Anabella looked at each other. While Ticia was only silent with a pouting face. Occasionally glanced at Varen who was talking to Rosalinda.

"Sister Gio here to find Ticia?" asked Rosalinda who was nervous next to Varen.

"No. I'm nyari lo," replied Varen quickly.

"Search..I?" rosalinda's getting nervous.

"Yes. No time at noon? If not, look at me!" varen said as he glanced at Ticia who was sitting right behind him. Just like the first time he asked Ticia to see him compete.

"Maybe, I'm not going anywhere" said Rosalinda happily. It was the first time Varen had asked Rosalinda directly to see Varen fight.

Brakk..

Ticia kicked the table in front of her slowly. "Gue was going to the toilet" he said, then left the class a little upset.

Saw Ticia drop out of her class. Varen smiled slightly. Then his face looked cold again.

"Gue wait for your presence later this afternoon, Rose!" varen then returned to his own class.

After Varen, Rosalinda secretly smiled with happiness. He finally broke the heart of the man he had long loved.

In the toilet, Ticia washed her face many times. Somehow he felt his heart ache to see Varen getting close to Rosalinda. He also repeatedly patted his cheeks slowly.

"Cia Conscious, this is what you want. But why does my heart feel so painful." he muttered while holding his chest that feels tight. Many times Ticia sighed to relieve her chest that felt very tight.

"This is best for you, Cia.." he muttered again while gently banging his chest.

"As long as he's happy, I have to be sincere" he murmured alone. Once again Ticia washed her face. After finally she came out of the toilet and returned to the classroom feeling a little better than before.
