I Love You What It Is

Chapter 13

At Titian's home as his family was panicking, his mother did not stop crying from last night until her eyes were puffy. Titian's father, Irpan had repeatedly contacted his son but his postel was inactive, he also tried to contact Andri who he knew was Titian's lover and who took his son away last night but there was no answer from Andri, even now his phone is not active.

"Well, let's go to the police" Sindy, Titian's mother, said worriedly.

"That can't be bu it's not 2×24 hours" replied Irpan.

"But yeah, I'm worried Tian's why-why"

"Dad was worried, too, ma'am. Have you tried asking Rere?"

"Already well, Rere said he did not know, he was also surprised when Tian did not come home from semalem"...

"I'll kill Andri if anything happens to my daughter!" irpan said with angry eyes.

Sindy slammed her butt up on the sofa in the living room, her gaze fixed on the slightly open entrance.

The tears on her cheeks could not be dammed anymore, as if endless kept flowing, flowing and flowing.

Irpan, who could not bear to see his wife's situation like that, immediately approached Sindy and sat beside her, then brought his beloved wife into the deck.

"Calm down, our daughter must be home. I'm sure" he said gently as he stroked Sindy's shoulder.

"Faith"..

Lirih Sindy slowly in her husband's arms as she continued to sob until Irpan's wet clothes were made.

"Tian yah Tian.

"Yes I know, Tian must be coming home tonight. Otherwise we will report to the police immediately" Irpan replied trying to calm down.

Hix.. The two could finally just wait on the sofa with a straight look at the door.

Ciiit...

The sound of the car stopping in front of the cafe Mario was clearly heard by two young men in the cafe.

Before long a middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful is Rega's mother, Sinta. Entering with a woman who looks messy and clothes are sedentary, she also does not wear footwear because her legs are a little scuffed.

"Mother"..

"Auntie"..

Rega and Mario said together when they saw Sinta coming and approaching them.

"Honey" Sinta replied with a sweet smile.

"Mario how are you, son?" Sinta also greeted Mario who was surprised by Sinta's sudden presence.

"Good aunt, what about auntie?" reply Mario politely.

"As you can see, aunt is fine"..

"Why didn't you tell me you wanted to come here tan?"

"Tante told Rega, didn't he tell you?"

Mario and Sinta looked at Rega along with astonished gazes.

"He was always like that, if I hadn't asked him he wouldn't have told me anything" Mario said, turning his face away from his annoyance but Rega didn't care.

Sinta smiles and introduces Titian to Rega and Mario.

"Oh yes, introduce this Titian"., said Sinta while carrying Titian's hand to get closer to them.

Rega and Mario stare at Titian from top to bottom, noticing Titian's messy appearance and sticky body from not having bathed from last night.

This is the woman who often cross paths with me in the street, deserves me like no stranger to her name. Inner Rega.

But Titian didn't take it, he was afraid of Mario, he was afraid of Mario doing something to him even though Mario had no evil intentions.

Titian instead hid behind Sinta while holding Sinta's shoulder. Sinta smiled, she understood Titian must have been afraid of men after the incident that happened to her.

"Not to be afraid, they're good kids. They won't do anything to you" said Sinta, calming and stroking Titian's hand on her shoulder.

Titian shook her head violently, and did not want to leave behind Sinta "Calm down, come here".

Sinta leads Titian's hand to line her up and Tian follows her.

What happened to him, he seemed to be very frightened. Batin Rega.

"What happened to her?" ask Rega flat.

"She's just been through the worst thing in single women's lives. I think he's probably going through a prolonged trauma"..

"I mean mother?"

Titian shook her head violently with my eyes on Sinta and clenched her hands together to prevent Sinta from telling her the details.

Sinta looked at Titian with a motherly gaze "well, I won't say it" Sinta said.

Then..

"Mario can Rega go home now? He had to drive Titian to his house immediately, his parents must have been very worried"

"Of course auntie, Rega can go home now" replied Mario.

"Are you all right alone?"

"No, auntie don't worry. I'll close the cafe later in the afternoon"

"alright. Thanks Mario, then aunt and Rega go first yes, say hello to your parents aunt"

"Yes tan, Mario will tell you"...

"Gue go back first. Don't forget to lock the door" close Rega before leaving.

Mario nodded and just stared at the backs of the three who walked out.

 

"Tian, you were ushered in with Rega well, I have to get out of town now"

Seeing the reaction of Titian who always kept his distance from Rega, Sinta realized that Titian was afraid of men.

"Not to be afraid, he's my son's name is Rega"

Rega's? Rega! the man I met in the dream? Is this him. Is this his real form?.. Inner Titian while glaring her eyes looked at Rega.

Why did I just realize, wasn't Aunt Sinta mentioned Rega several times. Why can I dream of it. Further.

"You don't know me?" ask Rega flat as usual.

Titian shook her head, for some reason she still felt afraid of Rega, after all how she could know that Rega would not do anything to her, she just greeted each other this time. And he doesn't know why Rega was able to get into his dream and drive him home, which is now a reality.
