Hold on or let go!

Eps 138s

"Mom, Bia said to go home? I want magrib!", I said.

"Don't sleep here? Let you not be lonely! Sleep at Sarman's house, right?"

I shook my head, "At my father's house, Mom!"

Asih seemed to sigh, I don't know what the mother of three children thought.

"Yes, but be careful at home, Nduk."

"Yes mom!"

"Sir, Bia said to go home first!", I kissed the back of Anton's hand.

"Yes, come back here again tomorrow. Play with your sisters, let there be entertainment" Anton said with a smile.

"God willing, sir."

"Mba Bia, just here anyway!", Esa was writhing spoiled in my arms.

"Other times it's Sa!", I ruffled her hair.

"Promise yes mba!", said Esa.

"Yes, God willing Sa...!"

"Which aunt?", I asked.

"Usually playing the same mba in the back alley of Nduk." I nodded slowly.

"Yes, Bia back now. Assalamualaikum!"

"Halaikumsalam!", answered them all.

"Aren't you saying the same thing to me?", asked William suddenly who came out of Esa's room.

Anton glared at his cousin's sister.

"Yes, my William came home first!"

"You're in anterin, aren't you?"

"No, thank you!"

I also headed to my car. A few minutes later, Azan magrib roared. Fifteen minutes to get to the stall as well as the house of Lek Sarman.

Arriving at the stall, I immediately parked my car.

Lek Sarman was already standing in front of there. Is he mad because I took too long to bring a car?

"Assalamualaikum!"

"Walaikumsalam, you are everywhere. Your lek is worried!", said Lek Dar.

"Heheheheh maap lek, it was playing with Esa."

Lek Dar and Lek Sarman looked at each other. Is there anything weird?

"Have you accepted their presence?", asked Lek Dar. I nodded confidently.

"Yes lek. They are Bia's sisters too. You are also a good man, can replace the duty of my late father to take care of you."

Lek Sarman grabbed my shoulder, then walked in tandem.

"There is wisdom in every test you face. Maybe we'll lose Alby, the man you love. But...God gives you new happiness. Whole family, which you've wanted for a long time."

My shoulder is still gently rubbed by Lek Sarman. What Lek Sarman said is true. At the end of the breakup with Alby, my relationship with my mother and her new family improved. Apparently, all this time I have misjudged my mother and stepfather. I just believe what I've been thinking for years. And that misunderstanding is already within me.

It should be at that moment that I heard what the late father said. I never wanted to know if he would tell me what he was feeling. All I see is that every night he cries every third of the night. Plus, my mom is not living with us. Not wrong if the thought of teenagers like me at that time, is the father in betraying mother. But it turns out, the mother could not bear every father asked her to find another man who could meet the needs of the mother.

Athaghfirullah!

"Have you eaten yet?", asked Lek Sarman after we reached our special room.

"Udah lek, it was at mom's house."

Lek Dar smiled at the familiarity of his husband and nephew. If his daughter were still alive, surely Bia and Princess would be much more familiar.

I say goodbye to going back to my house again. Even though they forbid. But anyway, my house is the most comfortable place for me right now.

When I got home, I cleaned myself up. Then I turned my body to the headboard of the bed. I fulfilled my promise to contact Mas Febri. It looks like he's offline. Probably busy. But, I've told you all, except.Mu Sri's words that say bless me and Febri. I don't know what his response would be if he heard his mother's words.

A few hours earlier....

[You called Bia instead, if you call mom for a lot of reasons]

Bu Sri protested when Febri contacted Bu Sri after she was at home.

[Mom, Febri is wrong. Call mom, mommy's angry. No angry calls either. How do you want to Mom?]

[You're the same Bia what's the real connection?]

Febri rubbed his cheek. He did not expect at all if Bia would meet his mother.

[Fashion??]

Bu Sri's tone of voice sounded very irritating to anyone who heard it.

[Yes Ma'am, Febri and Bia are just friends. I must have known if Bia was married, not maybe Febri want macem-macem]

[Seriously? If it turns out Bia wants to separate from her husband, how are you?]

[Where did you hear? Bia who told you?]

[Important mom knows where]

[Mom.].

[Mother will not make you know the children of mother's friends. Hufft.kanya.kalo no chance, mother blessing you same Bia.].

Febri, who had been sitting, woke up from his stool. Sontak Dimas, Seto and Sakti who were sitting a little far from Febri were also surprised.

[Mother..ke..why say so Mom?]

Febri.

[Lha yes, later if Bia has officially separated from her husband. But now I'm not allowed. I do not want the child of the pride of mother to be a rich player who is tipped it]

[Astaghfirullah, Mom. Yes no ma'am]

[Yes, that's wis. I'm going to the kitchen]

[Yes Mom]

[mom promises never to get your soul mates again]

[Alhamdulillah]

[Your art?]

Bu Sri's tone of voice rose as usual.

[Seneng is Bu heheh]

[Yes, assalamualaikum.]

[Guardiansalam]

After closing his call with his mother, Febri approached his three best friends.

"You're talking about men rek?", asked Dimas.

"Huum. Just ordinary!"

But Sakti's face is overcast. He thought of his meeting with his father's best friend's son later.

"Don't be too thought out, just later mate mas!", ledek Seto.

Sakti glanced sharply at Seto. He grunted annoyedly. For the sake of the father, he chose to change shifts with other fellow doctors.

"True Seto, sak!", Febri patted Sakti on the shoulder.

"Am I not doing so well until my soul mate!?", Sakti holds his hand on his chin.

"Not sold mas, but not yet able to move on. Try learning to move on! You two are too Ter-Bia-Bia!", said Dimas. Only Febri called Sakti without Mas frills.

"You like it!", said Seto.

Febri returned to focus on his phone, he just read a reply from Bia who he said would discuss it later if it was already at home.

"Sa!", call Father.

The four handsome men stood up.

"Yes yeah!"

"Not ready?"

Sakti sighed. Glancing towards Febri.

"Yes, soon yeah."

He left the four men. Maybe you will prepare too.

"You all must come!", Sakti commanded. Febri, Seto and Dimas nodded.

"Seneng kan Lo, there is no rival for dapetin Bia!", whispered Sakti to Febri. But Febri was a crybaby.

"Bia still has a husband, Sak! I don't want to be someone's wife, either. Let's.then if the soul mate also go where."

Sakti glared sharply at his best friend, but Febri's base. He is even more literate Sakti.

******

Roughly what kind of matchmaking would his Sakti???? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Thanks ⁇ ️️️️😅
