Gone off?
CHAPTER 51 (Step Strong)



What path should he take, and what steps should he take. He realized that he was now faced with a very heavy decision.


The burden of the mind that he has been damning all this time he must do as wisely as possible, so that in the future it does not cause injury.


Rama probably would never have thought that his father would support all his decisions, because all this time he felt guilty to both parents about him who still could not clear his feelings.

Flashbacks


There was a meeting between a middle-aged man and a young man at one of the restaurants. Their conversation seemed relaxed and seemed familiar.


In a friendly atmosphere, both from the atmosphere of the restaurant and the food, launched the contents of their conversation.


Wardana, who is the father of Rama is now chatting casually with Johan Rama's best friend who he considers as his own son.


Johan may initially be a bit surprised when Rama's father invited him to meet both, but in addition he also became curious about the intent of the invitation that suddenly.


The day her mother was discharged from the hospital was the day her father Rama took her to meet. Although he only suspected the purpose of the invitation, he did not expect if the guess he meant was right, if Rama's father asked him to meet because of Anjani.


He began to tell it as he knew it, and he saw it all along. As he explained, see Rama's father listening to his explanation with an expression that is difficult to guess.


A momentary silence accompanied the atmosphere between the two when Johan's explanation was completed.


"Why don't you ever tell me the same! Did Rama forbid you to tell stories?" Wardana said after a long silence after hearing an explanation from Johan.


"It opened me not death story om, just that it's an old story, I also did not expect that Rama still likes his first love."


"If this kind of makes sense, why does it seem difficult for him to be in a relationship with women, even Diana who is close to him is also difficult to get into the heart of the child.". Wardana.


"Do you know why he still likes his first love?" Ask Wardana again.


"I really don't know, Rama just said he wanted to make up for the feeling of the aggressor, you could say he just wanted to be close to Anjani, if I was in a relationship more than that I also did not know." Johan


"Maybe Rama will be angry with me because of this story to om, but maybe it's good to also hear this, maybe in this way om can help Rama, because only om can awaken Rama. I think the kids just don't know how they feel." Johan.


Wardana nodded in understanding what Johan meant. He was aware of his son Rama, concerned with him who had been hiding his feelings.


"Thank you for telling this to you, because you are very curious. Actually, om at first did not ngeh, but seeing the attitude of the child, om so curious, because it's om call you here."


"yes om. But.. does Aunt Farah know about this too?"


"No, it's impossible to tell this story to Rama's mother, later if om the story about this, he could directly propose to Anjani again." Wardana rebutted quickly and made the two chuckle together.


...----------------...


Inside the dining room, the Wardana family is seen in the middle of dinner. Seeing Rama and his father have joined Farah and Sahila at the dinner table, signifies the contents of the conversation that the two had ended after quite a long time they discussed.


In a warm place to eat as usual, the extended family from Wardana was seen enjoying their dinner as usual, there was no awkwardness and seemed comfortable.


Perhaps what seemed different from usual was the atmosphere of Sahila, Rama's younger brother who had been curious about the conversation of his brother and father.


"Father same sister again talkin what the hell? how long was it talking in my dad's office?" Ask Sahila then open the chat.


"You're from earlier how nanyain that, learning not kepo that's the same adult business." Saut Farah, chimed in the words of her son.


"Aiish mama, I'm also an adult, so you can ask." Reply Sahila did not feel wrong.


"Dad not talk about something, just a little discussion about work, why! you want to be a doctor just like your father and brother."


"Okay, jeez, if that's what I won't ask you again." Reply Sahila quickly while shivering unwillingly.


Seeing Sahila's reaction that looks reluctant, Rama only showed a small smile.


The conversation with his father that went well at least made him relieved and so know what he should do later. Although not yet able to tell the same mom and her sister, Rama can only hope the same himself to be more assertive on his own feelings and may be able to provide good news for both parents.
