Long River

Negotiating

Kenzo approached the bed where Leka was lying. He stared at the woman who was wiping the remains of her tears knowing Kenzo who came to see her. "I'm sorry, I came in the middle of an uncertain mood, but are you willing to stay with us because I know you have no one in this town. Uh, but if you're not willing and willing to live alone, I can rent out a house for you somewhere else. Just tell me, I'll help."

Arya, who was sitting on the sofa nearby, turned her head, hearing Kenzo's choice of Leka. He was upset why now his son gave the woman a choice, not even agree with what he asked.

Leka blinked her eyes slowly.

"Mmd? Whatdoes thatmean? Oh. .. Just like this. If you blink once it means 'yes' and twice it means 'no'."

Leka blinked once and twice.

"Mmd? So then?" Kenzo is confused. Then he remembered his HP. "Oh, Leka. You got an hp?"

The woman reached into his pants pocket. Fortunately the phone is still working and not flawed in the slightest. Just a scratch on the back of that phone.

"Awhile, huh?" Kenzo took Leka's hp. He put his phone number on the woman's phone. "This is my number." He returned and told. "Try typing and tell me what you want to tell me."

Leka did. A moment later Kenzo who was still in the man's pants pocket rang. He checked it immediately. I will think about it, Leka wrote.

"Oh, okay. Its alright. Then you just rest." Kenzo leaves Leka.

Arya who was sitting on the sofa chair was getting annoyed. He stood up and intercepted Kenzo. "Why don't you accompany her?" the whisper was a little angry.

"Dad, pity Dad. She was just in her husband's house. I don't want to be the guy who's looking for a chance in the middle of his grief."

"Joe!" Arya grabbed her son's arm.

Suddenly Chris enters with Reina, Aska and Baby Sitter who are carrying Runi. Arya immediately released Kenzo.

Chris came to Arya. "Can we speak four eyes outside? Just let the others here."

"Oh, can Da."

Chris and Arya are out. Reina came to Leka's bed. Leka who was a bit shy trying to sit but his head was still dizzy.

"Not forced. You just had an accident, your body is still weak."

Leka finally lay back down. Reina even tidied up her blanket. Can't stand it, Leka shed tears.

Reina saw the woman crying and pitying. He tried to wipe his tears. "Our initial meeting was not as good as we expected, but this is it. Forget it! Let's start again as good people who meet good people. How's it?" bargained for.

Leka was crying again. He blinked his eyes.

"Oh, he said 'yes'." said Kenzo who was standing on the other side of the bed.

"How did you know?"

"Oh, I was teaching him sign language." Kenzo rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh."

"Sound ...." Runi finally saw Leka lying on the bed, but Baby Sitter was already sitting on the sofa furthest along with Aska.

"Here, carry me." Aska tried to carry him but the little girl refused him, even crying.

"Eh, Runi don't cry" said Kenzo from afar. He wanted to carry her but did not dare. His words just accidentally came out of his mouth when he had been holding it when he saw Runi coming earlier with Aska and Reina.

But Runi recognized Kenzo's voice quickly. He had also seen it from earlier but was confused as to why the man had not taken it as well. The pressure of being surrounded by new people made him cry and call Kenzo. "Papa ..." cried Runi.

His instincts made Kenzo come over and carry him. "Yes, my dear, Papa's coming."

"Papa?" Reina heard the astonishment.

After holding her, Kenzo realized her actions were inviting question marks. Fasting .... "Eh, sorry." He scratched his head. "I used to sing papa-papa at home so Runi called me 'Papa'."

But he just called Runi 'Honey'? Is there another connection I don't know about? Reina glanced at Aska who pursed her mouth looking at Kenzo and Kenzo who looked wrong in the way many people looked at.

Runi looks happy in Kenzo's arms. Her crying turned into a smile. "Uh, uh. Unda ...." He pointed to Leka's bed.

"Don't go there first? Mother is sick again. We'll take a walk out." Kenzo immediately brings Runi out followed by Ani. He was a little confused about how to behave, so he chose to go out rather than be asked questions that he could not answer.

Mmh, it seems so, Inner Reina.

Chris and Arya were already sitting together at the hospital cafe. Chris started the conversation. "Sorry, my son and daughter-in-law's problems trouble you."

"FORMER son-in-law."

Chris looked at Arya without blinking, for a moment. "But I'll take care of it."

"He is an ex. There's no relationship with you anymore, is there?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

Arya laughing. "So, what else to take care of it."

Arya leaned her body forward. "It's not the first time your ex-son-in-law has driven herself into a car. It was my car."

"I know."

Arya surprised. "Keep ... You want to wait for him to go crazy and then you realize they don't fit in with each other?"

"He's my son, I have to give him a chance."

"You must be picky, which child can be given a chance which is not."

"I try to be fair to all my children."

"Yes but don't hurt anyone else dong." Arya looks upset. "Is it because it's Reina's child, you can't dwell?" He mocked Chris.

"Hhhhh ...." Chris leaned closer to the table in front of him. He turned the handle of the coffee cup that was in front of him but not in his drink. "That's one of them. I wanted to educate her my way, but I thought about Reina's feelings."

"It was actually your fault from the start."

"Why is that?" Chris looked at Arya.

"Do you not remember the time you had to choose to let go of Tama or not, you never ignored Reina, and Reina sincerely."

Chris pensive. "Yes, you're right."

"And now when you want to discipline Aska you don't dare."

Chris smiled wryly. "Yes." Yeah." He then straightened his back. "Anyway, (after all) I want to help my ex-daughter-in-law. I don't want him to stay in your house to make it easier for Aska to go through the referral process without any distractions and condolences."

"What if Leka doesn't want to?" Arya leaned her back against the back of the chair.

Chris smiled as he folded his hands on the table and leaned his body to the face. "I know your son Kenzo likes him too, right?"

Arya smiled. "Your format is great too?"

"Let the young struggle with their own efforts, we old people just look at it."

"What if one of them cheats?"

"Like Kenzo who always succumbs to Aska and sits outside?"

"Uda .. since when did you find out?" Arya was surprised. He straightened his back. "Why did you let him?"

"Good will not be confused with evil, however it may be. I admire your son, Kenzo. He's very patient."

"But Da ...."

"Why didn't I prevent it? I told you, let the young man struggle with his own business, we his parents can only see it."

"But if Jo I can't."

"Therefore he cannot mature and defend himself." Chris raised his index finger and pointed at Arya.

"But I have to help her."

"Until when? There comes a time when we parents have to pull over and let our children who are limping on their own can finally walk upright to come to us."

"Jo was once in a row ...."

"That was."

"But if I hadn't come back that time, maybe his life wouldn't have existed!" The man's anger was again tempestuous given the events of 12 years ago.

Chris touched Arya's hand, calming down. "Did you remember how we used to fight over Reina? That's what's happening to our kids now. Just two of them, that's all!(Just the two of them, that's all!)" Chris lowered his voice.

Arya took a deep breath and tried to see what Chris meant. There's no threat there except a competition. "Clearly different. Long ago, even though I was after Reina, she never loved me. He loves you, silly man who hangs his love so long."

"Well, it's my fault." Chris admitted it while snorting and holding back a laugh. He finally sipped coffee in front of him.

"Other with the kids. Kenzo because he grew up in Japan, he is typical of Japanese men who are stiff and shy even though he has expressed his love for women who like being different Aska, even though he has a different, he's the kind of kid who dares to do what he wants."

"But what God has allotted to our children will not be confused. It's definitely their ownership before they're born so we don't have to argue about what they should or shouldn't have. Learn to be Aryan's patient parent." Chris patted Arya's arm.

Arya took a long breath. Looks like he should start letting Kenzo walk with his own thoughts. Starting today.

Chris and Arya return to Leka's treatment room. When they came, Runi was sitting on the bed next to his mother.

"Eh, please lift up first 'my grandchild'." Chris turned to Reina because he felt strange calling the word 'my granddaughter'. Reina smiled knot.

Ani holds Runi and takes her to the sofa sitting in the VVIP room.

Chris sat on the edge of the bed. Leka who tried to sit on the man's stop bule with his hand code. The man looked at Leka with a smile. "I'm sorry about the inconvenience. You should be able to feel how to be a part of our family, but the rice has already become porridge. The past should not be brought back. Instead, we're talking about what's coming. I'm offering you a house that I'm going to rent to Mr. Arya, Kenzo's father during your stay in Jakarta. Your needs will also be met, and you can work for me in my company or maybe Pak Arya's restaurant but only as extra money or just looking for busyness. The rest Aska may want to refer back, even if you still want. Even if later you choose to go home, I intend to still meet your needs there later. So no compulsion, how? Which one will you choose?"
