EX: A Story That Doesn't Come

Chapter.25 (Are you ready to go home?)

Hendry stepped into his room. Arriving inside, he opened a drawer that was in the carry section of the sleeping lamp table. There is a picture of a beautiful woman and a girl pictured there.

At first glance he looks smiling, but the look of the face of sadness can not be hidden. Yes, the photo is a photo of the late wife and child, if you see the photo he re-remembered beautiful moments with his small family.

The happiness he once thought would never end. It all ended so quickly and tragically. The fateful accident took away the most precious treasure he had, his heart was broken and he had experienced depression for many years.

Now slowly he began to rise, rebuilding his life in his own way. Finding someone who can fill the emptiness of the heart is his main goal, but can he get out of the shadow of his late wife and child? When he saw Luna, it was as if he had discovered a new world.

"Can I fall in love again? Daddy promises not to forget you" Hendry murmured, staring at the photo in his hand.

...***...

By morning, Luna was awake. If usually he will be busy getting ready for work, but this morning a little different, he was busy in the kitchen to cook something. In order not to enter the wrong seasoning, he deliberately made a video call with the mother.

"Is this much Mom?" Luna showed a spoonful of salt to her phone screen.

[Mostly, a little bit earlier if less new in addition.]

Luna poured back the salt in the spoon and the rest she put in a small pot of porridge made.

[Who are you cooking for? Until the video call Mom early in the morning.]

Luna who was stirring the porridge in the pot, stopped her activity, she was silent for a moment. Yes, he also did not understand why he arrived like this, willing to wake up early to cook porridge for someone he wanted to stay away from. But in fact what he is doing now will actually bring him and the former closer.

Luna looked back at her phone screen, "To friend Ma'am."

[Friend or friend, I'm glad you can open your heart again for another man.]

I want to feel Luna told about Adrian to her mother but if she remembers how Mom cursed and hated the family of the ex-husband, her guts immediately shrunk.

"Kok Bu's friend .. already yes ma'am, Luna wants to get ready for work."

[Yes you be careful. Oh yes say thank you Mother same Mama Mishel yes, yesterday Mother sent a new bag, it seems expensive.]

"Bag? ... Oh yes Ma'am, Luna will tell you."

Luna turned off the video call. He was back to wonder why Mama Mishel sent luxury goods to his mother. Not wanting to guess haphazardly, he decided to turn off the stove because the porridge for it was ready and the taste was also right on the tongue and then returned to the bathroom to get ready.

...***...

"Hoaaamm .. You are awake" said Joni who suddenly came to Adrian.

"You just woke up?" ask Adrian.

"Yes, I was tired from yesterday's day at the project site" Joni said, then opened the refrigerator to get drinking water.

"You don't cook, I'm hungry" Adrian said, holding his stomach.

"Hey I am your wife what .. oh yes the project in this city is almost finished just the construction process, I have discussed with the contractor, we can monitor from afar, we can monitor it from a distance, bigger projects are waiting, how are you ready to go home?" ask Joni.

Adrian seemed to be thinking. When he first came to this city, he wanted to hurry home but now it was different, there was someone who made him want to stay, so the feeling of wanting to go home to the city of origin is no longer a priority.

"Rian, why bother?"

"Well, it's okay, we'll talk later now I want you to cook, I'm hungry."

"Instant noodles then."

"It's up to you."

Ting.song...ting.

The doorbell suddenly rang, because Joni was cooking instant noodles, finally Adrian himself who went to open the door, when he saw the small screen next to the door, seen on the outside there was no one, out of curiosity he finally kept the door open.

Clamps.

As the door opened, Adrian frowned seeing a food jar lying in front of the door. He bent down and grabbed the food jar. There was a small piece of paper with writing on it. Adrian opened the paper and read the message inside.

[Don't eat recklessly first, eat easy-to-digest food, don't get me wrong I made this porridge not because I care about you but your stomach.]

The smile was clearly on Adrian's face. Although Luna dodged but he knew that his ex-wife was very concerned about him.

How can I go if there is you here who makes me not want to move even if just a step, inner Adrian.
