Gone off?

Gone off?
CHAPTER 7 (Rama Ardiansyah Putra)



At 20:00 AM local time, inside the Wardana family residence.


In the family room, showing warmth in his small family. Filled with joy, warmth is also joy in it.


"What about moving into an apartment?" Ask Wardana as the father of Rama.


"No problem." Reply Rama.


"It feels lonely after you move!" Timpal Farah, mother of Rama.


"Mama lebay deh, although there is a sister in this house is also rarely at home because it is so busy." Chirps Sahila, Rama's sister.


Tuk, a slow knock landed right on her head, making Sahila groan sickly get a small bump from her mother.


"Don't be too busy, take care of yourself and don't push yourself too much either." Said Wardana trying to give advice to Rama.


"Well, Brother Rama has used it in every nasehatin." This time it was Sahila's turn to comment on her father's remarks.


"Sahila, if there are more parents to talk do not cut dong! it's not polite that's his name." Angry Farah.


"Yes sorry." Reply Sahila while putting on a frown.


Seeing the scenery in front of him that has been part of his daily life all this time makes Rama smile.


"Rama will remember his advice." Rama smiled kindly at his parents.


"Come as often as you can, and it's true your father didn't push himself too much."


"Yes ma."


'I don't know why I thought about moving. It's just that it just happened, and it felt good to avoid talking about marriage that was always thrown by my parents. I just want to be alone first, that's how I thought to decide to move from the house that I have occupied for more than 30 years.' - Inner Rama.


"Sister, I can stop by your sister's apartment sometime."


"Almost by me." Said Rama while rubbing his sister's head gently.


"Sister, can you do it too?" Say it again while putting on a hopeful face.


"See, Mama hear it again."


"If you catch it, you'll even take your brother out again."


"Yes yes yes, it continues, even though I am an adult you know, 20 years Ma my age now." Sahila stressed her age.


"You know you've been 20 years, but your behavior is still childish."


"Ah. bad mama." His whine went to his room leaving his brother and his parents.


"It's really a kid." Farah muttered to see Sahila's behavior.


In addition, considering that the day was getting night, Rama began to say goodbye to his parents to return to his apartment.


"I'm going home first Ma, Dad." Pamit Rama to both of his parents.


"She be careful on the road." Farah answered while hugging her beloved son warmly.


"As for you, I hope you don't push yourself too much anymore." Said the father while patting his son's shoulder to give encouragement.


Hearing this, Rama could only smile back.


...****************...


He is now 32 years old, an age that should be ripe for someone to have a partner. Either a lover or a wife.


However, somehow it was so difficult for Rama. In him there was too much doubt to open his heart to a woman close to him.


Although many women are close to him, in fact it does not make it easy to pay attention to them or try to be closer to them.


His gentle and friendly attitude towards anyone, seemed to be his weakness as well. Because of this, he had difficulty approaching women.


He was embarrassed just by getting acquainted or saying hello. Maybe that's what makes him feel at home until now, although in fact he had several times close to a forger, but in fact none of them can knock his heart. What made him so hesitant and troubled?
