Grace of Love

(You Should Let Me go)

Edel took his beloved sister who had just returned home to enter their home. Smile all the way home, a sign of great love for Ivar who sees him.

“Mah....Pah...” He shouted at all the residents who were gathered in the living room. “See who comes home with me.” Ivar appeared with a happy smile to be able to return safely.

“Ya Lord...” Ellie ran away in a hurry to hug her son who has no news this 2 weeks. His job at work is very heavy. “Do you eat regularly? Are you hurt?” Ellie checked all over her son's body which was fine.

Ivar replied with a tight hug. A stubborn woman who loves him very much. Of course he can't be far from her.

“Are you going to miss me if I get married and no longer live here?” Ivar shocked his mother's still pounding heart to see him back.

Bukkkkkp....

A hard blow landed on his shoulder. “Talk carelessly only.” Ellie glanced at him cynically.

“Ivar!!!” Shouts his father who threatens. “You've come home to make your mother sad. She can't sleep well every night.”

“I'm just kidding.” Following the laughter everyone melted the atmosphere.

Seeing her son's slightly thin body, Ellie immediately headed for the kitchen cooking Ivar her favorite food. Ellie let Ivar rest because her face looked so exhausted.

“Mah” Edel is on the shoulder of his mother who is busy cutting carrots. Ivar really has a girlfriend. Ellie's hand stopped, but she continued. “What will Mamah still force her to marry Luna?” Ellie moved and broke away from Edel's embrace.

“Is she a girl from a respectable family? Is he worthy to accompany my son?” Ellie replied with a slight annoyance.

“She's an ordinary girl, but she's very gentle and also affectionate. She is also beautiful.” Praise Edel for describing the attitude that Nindi used to show her.

“It's not enough just that to be my daughter-in-law. He must also have a position like our family.” It was Luna who was in his heart.

“Aky only talked about this for fear that Mamah could not respect Ivar's choice later. I don't want Ivar to marry Luna just for the sake of Mamah, they won't be happy Mah.”

“You can just get out of here, my cooking can fight Del.” Ellie is a bit temperamental, lucky she has a very patient and loving husband.

Regardless of her attitude, she is just a mother who wants her child to have the best partner she dreams of. And her husband understood what his wife thought for the good of her children. Mothers sometimes think far beyond their abilities.

“Do not vent anger easily Mah, pity if the point is good but mamah instead blame Edel who wants to give you a warning.” Ellie kept quiet to hear her husband's advice.

It was not willing to let go of his beloved son to a girl whose origins were unclear. He had actually been warned by many people. Ivar can't possibly train his heart on Luna who is already like a sister to him. Ellie sat down to think about the future of Ivar and her grandchildren.

“Can I not try until at least Ivar wants to try to understand my feelings?”

“Not allowed. Mom has been trying to match them for quite a while, but look at the results!” Ellie squeezed her hand out furiously. “Dwi has given up now. It's true what Prabu said. They're too different.” Ellie throws her apron on the floor. She leaves behind her husband who suddenly does not support her plans. Usually Edwin did not bother with all his decisions.

Edwin could only shake his head with a smile. That's what it would be like if he advised his stubborn wife.

“Pah...” Sapa Ivar who has finished cleaning and sleeping briefly expel fatigue. “Where is Mamah?”

“Ngambek.” Reply Edwin who is still focused on his phone.

“Why else?” Edwin just smiled. “Is it because you forced him to approve of my relationship with the woman I love?” Edwin nodded.

“Why he can't open his heart.” Edwin shook his shoulders as confused as his son.

“How was the task yesterday? What's dangerous?”

“Slightly difficult but me and the team can finish it.”

“You don't want to help me in the company? Your father is getting older Var.” Edwin tries to ask Ivar to quit his job.

“Will Ivar think. But Ivar already has a big responsibility that Ivar has thought of before, can I ask for your support?” Edwin again could not go against the words of his Son who was so great in his stance.

“All Papah leave to Ivar, Papah only often gag-degan only when you are on duty.” Ivar knows, his entire extended family is very worried.

“Ivar promises to take good care of yourself Pah. Please trust your son.”

“If Papah does not believe Papah has dragged you out a long time ago.” Ivar enjoys the soup which is still warm. Edwin who was still full just accompanied Ivar while reading the business book he had just bought.

“Ivar!” Sapa Prabu who saw Ivar sitting in his living room.

“How are you Uncle? Sorry old Ivar just came again.” Prabu receives Ivar's hand shakes.

“My daughter cries all day.” Talk while laughing. “You did him Var.” Ivar felt sorry for his actions.

“Ivar didn't know Luna was there. And...he saw that he shouldn't have seen Uncle.” Speaking awkwardly, Ivar was afraid that Prabu would not forgive him.

“You should talk to him. Luna must have understood that Nak Ivar explained slowly.” Ivar nodded. “You've settled on your choice Nak?”

“Ivar sure Uncle. Ivar doesn't have this kind of feeling in other women.” It's hard to describe his feelings.

“Uncle understands, Uncle was also young. Never in love also Var, hahahahaha...” Ivar laughed.

Luna did not come down long from her room, with her eyes still slightly puffy and shabby hair. Not what Ivar usually sees. His eyes were unwilling to look at Ivar's face which he usually did not avoid in the least.

“Uncle go well, you guys please talk.”

“Do Not Father.”

“Learn Nak, solve your problems wisely.” Prabu left his daughter despite actually not having the heart.

“Dek...” Ivar's voice makes Luna's hair goosebumps. “ See my eyes.” Luna is getting away. “You're still mad at me?” There's no answer. “Luna Savina Subagja!” Luna did not dare if Ivar had already called her full name.

“A...I'm not angry, I'm just surprised.” Answering how his brain thinks.

“You were surprised and cried all night until your eyes were swollen?” Luna closed her eyes. “Sister Ivar understands how Luna feels. But as Ivar said, Ivar's sister loved Luna as Ivar's sister.” Refuse subtly but still painful.

“Do I not deserve to be a companion for Ivar?” Luna's eyes began to glaze over. What a difference he and Nindi make, he is much faster and worth it.

“Love we can't force. Try Luna to let go of Luna's feelings for me, you'll get a man who's definitely much better than me.” Luna brushed away her tears.

Prabu and Dwi peek at the sad scene of her daughter rejected by a man, learning that Luna will become a woman who has high self-esteem in the future. He should not easily trust a man who does not guarantee his happiness.

“Do Luna understand what Ivar's sister means?” Luna nodded, she understood Ivar well asking him to step down and no longer disturbed his life.

“I will retreat, but I beg Brother Ivar not to appear again in front of me.” Luna ran while sobbing leaving Ivar who was still sitting smiling blankly.

Dwi who saw her daughter destroyed immediately hugged her daughter. However innocent Luna is, she only loves men who do not reciprocate her feelings.

“Quiet darling. Everything will be fine.” Habur Dwi is calming her daughter. Prabu helps Dwi mebawa Luna to her room.

Prabu came down with a face that was not as friendly as before when he came. Although Prabu understood Ivar was taking the right path, seeing his daughter sobbing in his heart felt his sadness. Luna does not deserve to be treated as she is today.

“Uncle...” Prabu sitting in front of Ivar.

“Did my daughter really have no chance?” Talk while staring at the ceiling of his house. “She is not a mature woman like your beloved girl, but my daughter is ruined Var. Ivar see the air?” Ivar was confused as to how.

“Sorry Uncle, Ivar really can't accept Uncle.” requests Ivar looked confused. “Uncle will definitely be able to find a decent guy for Luna. she's a good and beautiful girl.”

“Do not like that, the proof is that you do not want to try to accept his heart.” Ivar. “Ya already Son, if it should be like the best way. Uncle can't do anything anymore either.”

“I'm sure Uncle understands how I feel. I have no intention of hurting Luna.” Prabu nodded with a smile that finally rose from his lips.

“Greetings to Ellie and Edwin, hold Ellie responsible for giving my daughter hope.” Talk in a joking tone but still full of sharp innuendo.

“Iya Uncle, forgive Mamah who always asked Luna to love me.” Prabu chuckled at Ivar's words.

Prabu returned to Luna's room after escorting Ivar home, his daughter still crying as she pleased in Dwi's embrace. Prabu knows very well what it feels like to be heartbroken, Ivar Luna's first love. He has never loved anyone but Ivar.

“Will there be men who love me like Sister Ivar? I really like his attitude towards me Mah.” Prabu smiled hearing his daughter was still fantasizing in the midst of the chaos of his heart.

“Of course baby, where there are men who don't like you. You are beautiful, well, your skin is clean, you. Prabu Subagja's son, don't worry.” Said Dwi loudly so that his daughter was not discouraged.

Prabu left two women who were comforting each other. Dwi indeed could not let Luna get hurt in the slightest. She will do everything she can to keep Luna happy and nothing less, it seems like all mothers will do the same with Dwi for the sake of their children.
