Love And Medicine's

Little Friend

"Handan, Ana, every Mother remembers you, Mother must remember them, Mother's children who went before Mother," oma said while hugging Father and Mother Gale when she arrived at Gale's house in the city of Yogyakarta. He remembered his daughter and daughter-in-law when he met them again, who were close friends with Gale's father and mother for a long time.

Yes, this is where they are at the moment, Oma and Naava. Due to the tragedy of Ajeng's suicide attempt yesterday, which left her hospitalized, Ms. Gale decided to invite Oma and Naava to come to Yogyakarta. He intends to get to know Naava more closely, his future son-in-law. At once, he indirectly wanted to tell Naava, about Ajeng's current condition, so that Naava did not misunderstand Gale's intention and purpose of returning to Yogyakarta. Gale's mother doesn't want Naava to think strangely and misunderstandingly about Gale and Ajeng's current relationship. Gale's mother wants to convince Naava's heart that the two of them are no longer related, Gale just wants to help Ajeng out of his current slump, and purely just a friend.

"Honey, come hug mom first. My mother is Gale's mother. Present, your face is exactly your mother, beautiful tenan.. How much she misses him" said Gale's mother, opening her arms like she wanted to hug. Naava then without hesitation hugged Mother Gale directly, He held Naava warmly. It was not long before Naava felt another hug from the figure of a Mother, this time he got it back.

Mother Gale's warm figure, making Naava can feel the love of a Mother that he never again get since childhood. Gale is lucky to have a mother who loves him very much. 'Hopefully if I become Gale's wife later, I can give the same affection that Mother gave Gale, ' Naava thought inwardly while smilingly embracing Mother.

"Thank you aunt, aunt has been very good to Naa and Oma," said Naava softly

"Call Mom, baby. Mom will be your mother-in-law too, anyway, ndok? haha..," Gale's mother said softly while joking to Naava.

"Yes, Naava has got to get used to calling Mom and Dad to both of us. We're going to be a family" Gale's father said in a heavy voice.

"Well, father, mother," Naava replied with a small smile.

"Oiya, how's Mom doing these days? It still often feels tight, ma'am?," asked Gale's father to Oma while holding her hand

"Not too often, Dan. Only the latter a little more tired," replied Oma

"Mothers need to stay healthy, yes. Don't be too cape, and don't forget to take your medicine regularly" Dad said again

"Indeed it's like having a personal doctor, there's always someone watching all the time, it's like the police, haha," Oma told Gale's father, inviting laughter from all the people in the guest room, making the atmosphere more comfortable for Naava. Maybe it's like having a complete family, Naava thought to himself.

As happy as this was, there was a gentle and affectionate Mother, a firm, yet caring father, as well as a loving and ever-present Oma to Naava, all gathered in a jest of laughter, it was truly happy Naava's feelings at this moment. I want to stay here longer, Naava said in his heart.

"Yeah, Naa.. I want to show you something. Come, come with me, baby," take Mom who immediately holds Naava's hand. He led Naava to the second floor of the large house. He opened one of the doors in the room, it was very cool. Pillows and bed linen are arranged very neatly, medical books neatly arranged in book shelves, and there are some photos on display on the walls of the room.

"This is Gale's room.. Ye know? He could spend all day just reading and writing in this room, Naa. Come on, here sit down," said Gale's mother patting the bed, hinting Naava to immediately sit beside her. Naava who was still amazed at the beauty of the room a man immediately sat down, while still looking at the photos displayed on the walls of the room.

"These are pictures of Gale when he was a child. Look, here he is while playing the swing! You know, baby, Gale was a quiet kid from childhood. It's very hard to make friends. The other kids didn't want to ask her to play, because of her quiet demeanor," Mom said smilingly as she showed some old photos of Gale.

"Little handsome gale, huh, ma'am?," Naava said smilingly as he savored Gale's childhood memories through photos.

"Yes, he's very handsome from small, dear. Only he likes to jutek on people, so deterrent girls approach him haha," Mother said with a laugh

"Who is this, mom? It's beautiful..," Naava asked Mom. He pointed to a picture of Gale and a girl, sitting down and enjoying ice cream.

"That's Ajeng, baby. She's also the one I'm going to tell Naava about" Mother replied quietly with a smile

"Ajeng is the only kid who wants to play with Gale. When all the children did not like Gale, Ajeng even almost every day came to just invite Gale to play. He did not care, just in case Gale liked to snap at him, he even more often came and asked him to joke. The more comfortable Gale is with Ajeng, Ajeng's attention to Gale makes him very dependent on Ajeng" explained Mother to Naava who quietly listened to Mother's explanation.

"They are both committed to being lovers, until finally, yes you already know the story right? Ajeng was betrothed by his father and mother. However, it turns out that his fiancee was having an affair and impregnating others," Mother explained to Naava

"Ah, what a pity Ajeng, ma'am. Naava did not know what it would be like to be in Ajeng's position," Naava said, surprised by what Mother said.

"He doesn't have any more storymates, honey. Gale has been busy in Jakarta lately, he has no place to change his mind. So he took a shortcut out of this..,"

"He tried to kill himself, he jumped from the second floor of his room. Thank goodness he was still helped, and now he is being taken to the hospital" Mother said

"No way, ma'am," Naava replied in tears. He can certainly imagine the difficulty of Ajeng's current position.

"That's why Gale came home. He's trying to fix Ajeng's psychology, baby. You don't worry, he's just trying to help Ajeng. Not to go back to him,"

"Naa understand, mom. Naa understands. If Naa is in Ajeng's position, the person Naa needs most is definitely Gale" Naava said

"Mom knows, Naa must be disappointed Gale still often met Ajeng. But rest assured, the place Gale lived in was only for Naa alone. Ajeng place in his heart has been replaced by Naava. I'm sure it is..,"

"Yes, mom,"

"Look at this, this shirt," the mother said as she showed Naava a dirty white shirt

"Is this mom?" ask Naava

"This is the first shirt that gets a memento from you. Ketchup bottle.. Remember that? Gale doesn't want this washed, he wants to keep it, he said the painting on this shirt you made. It should be kept as a memento" said Mother with a smile

"Ha.. It was Naa who accidentally spilled soy sauce onto Gale's shirt, ma'am. Naa did not think, Gale kept it," Naava told Mother. Naava remembers how much Gale hated him at the time. But the reality behind is different. He even keeps this shirt tight. What an unpredictable Gale.

"Well, I'm sure you already understand Gale's current position. There's no need to be in doubt, right?" Mother said as she stroked Naava's hair.

"Mother, can Naava not come to Ajeng? Naava wanted to encourage her," Naava told Mother

"Of course you can, baby. Mang Adi who will take you later in the afternoon, yes?," said Mother

"Thank you, ma'am," Naava said as she hugged Gale's mother. He was greatly relieved by all the explanations he had received from Gale's mother. At least he had no clue as to how Gale felt about him all along.

****

Naava's feeling was so chaotic when he saw Gale kissing Ajeng earlier. He could not help but feel disappointed in him. He had just heard how Ajeng wanted Gale to return to his life. There was no answer from Gale himself.

"Mang, we go home now," Naava said with tears in his eyes.

'I don't know what will happen after this'

'I just got a hint about Gale's feelings for me, but it's a reality I have to deal with'

'I can't bear to see Ajeng who desperately needs Gale'

'But I already love Gale'

'Truly I can't see them having to part because of me'

Naava said in his heart, that night his mind was full of anxiety. Should He break this match or stay with Gale?
