Long River

Grandpa and Grandma's Visit

Leka was a little surprised to see Aska Sesiang was in the restaurant. He doesn't work, but he doesn't normally make a sound. Is he sick? Or maybe it was just to get his attention? In a moment will also say 'Honey' and seduce him so that he must thick face and close his ears because it will be gossip by other employees in the restaurant.

He had often seen the employees whispering which must be talking about him, but want how, his life was as rumored they added spicy spices that hurt the ears. He had no choice because he could not work outside as he wished, as he used to sell on the side of the road and rent a cheap house.

Since Chris' family knew of his whereabouts and his son would definitely not be easy for him to live independently. Moreover, the existence of Aska who often excessive in his workplace makes skewed gossip about him increasingly so-so. Being the golden child of the Aryan family, take care of the children of the rich and some even label it as the mistress of the rich. It was all because the rumors circulating had never been confirmed before. No one dared to confirm it. No one saw his work that was also good there making his friendship with the employees there seemed just a stale talk.

"Don't you have breakfast?" Leka looked at Aska's slightly pale face.

Aska. It seems to look less healthy.

Leka. "What do you want for breakfast?"

The man just kept quiet and hugged Runi. The little girl looked confused because she was hugged for so long. "Of, Om!"

Aska immediately took off her embrace. "Mmd? I just miss Runi."

A little strange Leka saw Aska who came and took the time to be with Runi because he was always the main focus, not Runi. Something he had long expected from an Aska, took his time to play with Runi, his son. Usually he comes, busy with his cellphone or bothering him to work. Now with silence the man made Leka a little relieved although no doubt he was worried also if the man was sick to not talk much.

"Awhile I made it?" Leka went back to the kitchen. Before long she had returned outside with a tray filled with food for her ex-husband.

"It's Bang, fried rice and cow's eye eggs. Tea is warm tea. Fast at eating mumpung still warm." Leka took over Runi.

Aska. He scoops his fried rice and feeds it into his mouth. He looked happy with a grain of tears that fell without being asked. "Nob."

"What's the matter?"

Aska. He then moved, who had been sitting in front of Leka, now moved to his side. He touched his ex-wife's hand. "You're going home soon? I'm getting confused being alone at home without you beside me. My mind is split everywhere."

"Sorry Bang, I can't. Now I want to focus on work."

Disappointed face of Aska. He bowed.

"If you can't wait for me, you can marry someone else. I can't promise anything."

Aska. "No. I don't want anything else. I'll wait for you Leka, because I just want you."

"Sorry Bang, I don't know."

Aska continued to eat it, spooning it back to her mouth the fried rice Leka had prepared for her. He's so confused. Will Monique come suing him?

Hopefully no seeds happen overnight. There was guilt in Leka but her heart did not want to turn away from the woman she loved most at this time. You're not the first Leka, but I want you to be the last. God, how can you persuade him not to turn with another?

"Leka, how about we have a wedding? I'll also take care of our marriage papers later in KUA."

Leka only saw her ex-husband at a glance. It doesn't seem to care. "Just finish eating Bang." He then lowered Runi and noticed the little girl running to another table and approached one of the chairs to lean on. "I want to work first." He stood up and left Aska alone.

Aska's upset. Why what happened even more makes him and Leka more distant. Everything is so easy in front of your eyes. He stayed to persuade her in 3 months back to him but why is it so difficult. Added to overnight tragedy that could at any time explode on another day.

Had he not gone that night, the story today would have been as simple as yesterday. It can still make him smile. Can still make him smart today because there's no Kenzo here. But yesterday ... Aska could only sigh deeply.

----------+++----------

Chris's HP is ringing. He took it on the nightstand. "Hello Yes."

"I just want to tell you, Leka's on vacation tomorrow but I don't know if she's home or not because she didn't say the plan."

"O yes, thank you. Mmh, how's the job so far?"

"good. He's very tenacious at work. He even helped other employees finish their work. If he opens his own business, I think he will be successful quickly because he quickly understands how to manage a restaurant business. With the added skills to be a leader, maybe he can be an entrepreneur."

"Wow, she's not working for you this week, can you see that far?"

Arya laughing. "Don't mock me Da, Uda is even more competent about this than I am."

"I believe your judgment."

"OK, Da. Good night."

"Night." Chris turned off his phone. "Honey ...." He shifted his body on the bed to approach his wife.

"I've heard. Tomorrow is Leka's holiday, right?"

"Well, what time should we come Honey?"

"Perhaps, while bringing gifts for Runi."

"Mmh, you can too." Chris wrapped his hand around his wife's waist. "We looked at them and we might be able to start chatting with them.

Reina turned her head to the side looking at her husband's face. "Why did you shave your bewok, honey?"

Reina smiled widely and touched her husband's jaw gently.

"Why are you smiling like that?"

"It's okay. You must have stayed handsome in my eyes with whatever model you made with your face" said the woman, rubbing her male jaw to her ear in love.

"Oh clear. I'll keep it for you Honey." Chris grabbed his wife's hand and kissed her.

"Mmh glad ...."

---------+++---------

"Mom, there's a guest."

"Mmd? Who?" leka shouted from inside her room.

"Mother Reina Ma'am, same husband."

"Oh." Leka hurriedly put on her instant hijab and exited the room. He saw Ani had just passed from the face of his room while the person called guest was already sitting in the living room waiting for him. "Oh, sorry Mom, sir. The house is still a mess." Leka came to Reina and Chris and kissed the back of her hand. He sees Runi hugging a new doll, a pink Teddy Bear. It seems like Reina's gift, her grandmother. "Where did that come from, son?" tanyanya seduces Runi.

"grandmother." Runi showed it to Leka.

"Say what?"

"Ma love." Runi hugged her doll.

The sentence published a smile between Reina, Chris and Leka. Reina then approached Runi and carried him back to her seat to hold the little girl.

Runi had already started getting used to Reina because of her frequent lunch in the restaurant.

"Like the doll?" Reina asked the little guy. Runi replied with a smile showing off her still little teeth. Reina touched the little girl's little nose.

"Sir, what do you want to drink? Tea?"

"Oh, don't bother," recalls Reina. "We'll just be a minute."

"It's okay." Leka went to the kitchen and asked Ani to make tea. After that, he returned to the living room.

"Where is your furniture from?" Chris was a little surprised by the Leka home furnishings that looked luxurious but not new. He thought it belonged to someone.

"Oh, it belongs ... Kenzo." Leka tried to speak carefully.

"Why?"

"Eh, sorry sir, I .. do not want to buy a new one. It feels too wasteful. Sorry ...." Leka felt bad because she carelessly chose her own furniture that she wanted to have at that time to reject Chris' offer.

"Oh, it's okay" said Chris casually. "Is there any other need you need?"

"Mmh, I don't think there is. What you give is more than enough."

"Actually we came to see if there was anything else you needed. We will try to find it" explained Reina about their arrival.

"Sorry, so troublesome," Leka is grateful to have a very good former in-law. She thought that this husband and wife was just as complicated as her ex-husband who had many rules, moreover, Aska also described her parents as difficult to compromise and fierce so that the man had to hide their marriage, but it was not. Leka herself was confused at seeing this reality, let alone seeing their sincerity helping her.

"It's okay" said Reina.

Ani came and brought two cups of tea.

"I see you guys so different from Bang Aska, but you guys are so nice."

"You mean our faces? We're not her real parents, did Aska not tell you that?"

"Oh, Brother told me but don't expect you to raise your brother like a son."

"A child really only needs who loves him, not who his family is. At that time many were complaining about their status, Salwa and Aska because he was the son of the deceased husband. I don't see any side of his parents' family who intend to take it with sincerity. So even though I should have let them go but I didn't. To me they were like my own children so I took them and my husband thankfully supported." Reina looked at Chris and smiled.

"I didn't expect, you guys were really good. I'm sorry I ever misunderstood you guys. Oya, come sir, ma'am, at the tea."

Chris and Reina were still chatting for a while before finally saying goodbye.

"How did they know I had a holiday? Ah, maybe Mr. Arya told me," muttered Leka while closing the front door.

The holiday Leka used to accompany her son at home. Runi is very happy he has a lot of time with his mother playing. From watching tv, lunch to nap accompanied by Leka. Until nightfall, Aska visited Leka's house.

"Why don't you tell me you're off today, so I'll be able to get away."
