FIRST AND LAST

75

" Are you leaving?"

That morning Gunawan was at the dinner table, enjoying a piece of his bread that stayed half .

Rey pulls up the chair next to her, then sits down and picks up the plate .

" yes" he answered short , then scooped his plate of fried rice .

" oh yes, tomorrow is his birthday Aunt Vienna .."

Rey simply nodded 'em, while feeding the fried rice to her mouth .

" Papa has a restaurant reservation for us to dinner, all of you want papa to talk to you ."

Rey paused for a moment, hearing his papa's words . Is there anything to talk about ? What is this about Papa and Aunt Vienna . Maybe they are also planning a wedding in the near future .

" Papa's already reserved for 4 people ."

Rey looked at him wonder . "4 people ? who's the same ?"

" you can take Andin ."

" Andin ?" ask Rey still can't believe it . Papa says it's his show with Aunt Vienna, but instead tells him to take Andin too now .

" why .. Don't you want ?" ask her back .

" but is this a Viennese Papa and Aunt show ?"

" yes .. Why ? "

" no papa, no ."

" what Papa knows is that your closest friend is now Andin, or you want to hire another one, too don't papa ."

" who ..?"

" maybe the same son Anisa, you are close too is he ?"

Rey sighed softly, finishing the fried rice on her plate that stayed a mouthful . Papa is Agnes . Papa does also know Aunt Nisa and knows that Agnes is also her schoolmate, used to be the most often at home .

" yes I came with you." Break it up, before Papa further discuss the matter of Agnes later .

" yes it's , tomorrow it's 7pm ."

Gunawan finished a cup of coffee, then took his coat that was draped on the back of the chair .

Tomorrow will be the day of determination also for the continuation of his relationship with Vienna . As they have agreed before 'all will depend on Rey's consent, as Vienna has requested .

" we need to talk to Rey immediately" Gunawan said yesterday . All this time they've put off too much time . Because of the work and business dealings with Rosa, who is now finished , although it must end less pleasant .

" yes, but my decision remains the same..."

Gunawan looked at her anxiously . "you mean ?"

" it all depends on Rey's decision ..."

" yes I know .."

" Don't force Rey to accept me ...!" Threats .

" yes .. yes ."

" i don't want Rey to accept me 'cause she's forced ."

" but ... haven't you been getting closer lately ?"

" yes .. but I never discussed this with Rey , I'm just afraid .. maybe Rey can accept me now without any status between us. but , if for further I am not sure . Yesterday's events traumatized Rey enough to accept new people in her life" he said pessimistically.

He can understand that, to take Rey's heart is not easy . Rey is not an easy person to get close to others . Especially with the current conditions, Rosa's marriage is enough to make her hit ', plus her new husband who refuses to accept it . Surely now Rey thinks that everything will be the same . After his marriage to Vienna later . His fate will be the same as it was at his mother's wedding .

Vienna is right, there would be no point in forcing Rey, because she is a big boy now and can already make her own decisions .

Now even if the fate of their relationship depended on Rey .. had Rey refused, Vienna would have preferred to withdraw .

Which is the problem of what he can afford to lose all this . Her marriage to Rosa is long enough, not enough to make her happy . The nature of Rosa who is never satisfied, despite having excess wealth can never make her loyal and it has been done for a long time , since Rey was a child and her decision to stay was for her son's sake, to have a whole family . Although for that he endured more heartache, so to divert attention, he prefers to busy himself developing his company . Even if you have to sacrifice your attention to your family, especially Rey .

And Rey only knew her mother was always busy outside the house on the grounds of her social affairs, without knowing what she was doing exactly .

Now , the presence of Vienna can change everything . Which makes it conscious to be closer to his son and to put family first rather than work.

But.the events of that time were enough to make Vienna hit . Rey's refusal at the beginning of their meeting and also when she forced Rey to accept Vienna, and decided to stay married despite her disapproval . Until finally makes Rey an accident.

It also made Vienna postpone everything they had planned and made the decision not to expect more with their relationship going forward , if until he can not take the heart of Rey to sincerely accept it without coercion.

" yes .. up to you, we'll talk about this same Rey ."

Vienna agreed .
