Dilemma (Between Friends and Love)

Still the same

As I said then, today Aldo and I are on our way to my village. We both got into my private car that Aldo was driving. I didn't think Aldo could drive a car at first.

I was very happy and relieved, finally I was able to keep my promise to Mother and Father to go home to meet them. And I intend to open a shop also in the village.

Aldo looks very focused on driving a car. Within a few minutes we were silent, none of us had any intention of starting a conversation.

It's possible that Aldo felt awkward to start a conversation with me first. "Ekhem." I sneered to drive away the awkwardness.

"Eemmmmd. Aldo, before you worked for me where did you work?" Ask someone who is trying to start a conversation.

"I used to work in a workshop, ma'am. But the workshop was closed, so I had to find another job. And I ended up getting accepted to work at the mistress's shop." The answer.

"Why did the bekel close?"

"I don't know, madam. Though the bekel was always crowded, but somehow even closed. It's possible that the workshop owner wants to find a more strategic place." Evidently.

"Oh so." My answer is short, because I don't know what else to answer.

The mood was silent again. I'm really bored right now, want to talk but there's no fun topic to talk about.

I tried to get rid of my boredom at all costs. Starting from playing games, listening to music, to rummaging through the items in my bag. But I still feel bored.

Until my drowsiness came, and I did not feel I began to fall asleep.

"Mrs, sorry lady wake up. Madam, it's here." 

I felt someone pat my shoulder. Then I squirmed and slowly opened my eyes.

"What's Aldo?" Ask me in a hoarse voice typical of people just waking up.

"Sorry, madam. We've arrived." Said.

I looked out the car glass, and sure enough now my car stopped in front of Mom and Dad's house.

"Of course, let's go down. Don't forget to bring the stuff in the trunk."

"Ready, madam."

I slowly got out of the car and walked closer to Mom and Dad's house. It turned out that everything was still the same as the last time I left this house, then went to the city to complain about fate.

Starting from the yard of the house that is still as it used to be filled with flowers and ornamental plants, to house paint that still uses the same color, my favorite color is green. 

Tok tok….

I knocked on the door, then it sounded immediately from the inside. "Attent." The door is open. And I saw the figure that I longed for so much, a beautiful angelic-hearted hero who had fought so much for me. Mothers….

"God, Lia." My mother immediately hugged me.

Her crying broke, Mother hugged me tightly. Smelling my forehead, channeling the longing that had been lingering in his heart.

"How are you, son? My son Lia, God's Masha."

"Mom misses you, son. Why just come now, I told you to come home from a long time ago." 

I smiled at the deep and great love Mother had for me. A woman who has struggled a lot, who always pray day and night even at all times for the happiness, safety and future of her child.

A Mother whose affection is so sincere, even her affection exceeds the depth and breadth of the ocean, whose affection will not be replaced by anything in this world. 

"Lia is also very upset with Mom." I really can't hold back my tears.

Mom rubbed my head. Ah, I miss this mother. When I saw Mother's face my heart became very calm. It felt like all my burdens were just overflowing.

Then Mom let me and Aldo into the house. Mommy eagerly serves a variety of snacks and drinks until it meets the living room table. And if I don't prevent you, I'll go shopping and buy more snacks.

"Mom, where are you?" Ask me who has not seen my father.

"Father is doing filial work, at the very end of the afternoon. But try to tell me to go home now." He was getting out of his seat.

"No need, ma'am. I'm busy, I'll see you later in the afternoon."

Mom smiled at me. Then suddenly his gaze was turned to Aldo. "Son, who is that man?" Whisper Mom to me.

"He's Aldo, Lia's shop clerk."

"Oh. Officer, I thought it was Mom's daughter-in-law's candidate."

"Ah, this Mother." I said with an annoyed face.

But actually in my heart I agree with Mother's words. Words can be prayers, right? Who knows if he will become a future daughter-in-law of Mother, aka my future husband. Hehe….

Suddenly I remember when I fell asleep in the car. About did Aldo see my face while sleeping? Look, there's gotta be people who wake me up. Ahhhhh, what a shame. Moreover, my face really cannot be conditioned while sleeping. 

Once I saw the condition of my face while sleeping, at that time Mr. with a fad who photographed me when I fell asleep in the living room chair. And my face really cannot be conditioned while sleeping, his mouth is mangap and Ileran.

Is the condition of my face is also like that when sleeping in the car next to Aldo. Huaaa…. How humiliating.

"Yes, surely you are tired because you have traveled a long way. You guys rest first. Lia get to your room for a break, and son Aldo let's get you to the guest room."

I immediately went into my room. When I opened the door I was shocked to see my room, absolutely nothing changed the last time I left this room. Starting from the position of the bookshelf, dolls to the position of the pen lying on the study table.

I feel like I'm going back in time. A time when Mom and Dad were very dear and always spoiled me. And I'm sure the love of Mom and Dad will never diminish from before until now.

I saw a piece of paper lying on the table, an encouraging quote I made myself. Quotes I made while I was struggling to achieve my goal, which was to boast of my parents and become a successful entrepreneur.

The quote reads "Fight and strive hard, do not forget to pray and pray, then you will get success and happiness multiplied."

I smiled re-read the quotes I made a long time ago, the quotes that add to my spirit power in achieving dreams. Quotes the spirit builder when I fell, and dispel the despair in achieving what I dreamed.
