Love Ends At Red Lights

Self-sufficient

The clock has shown that at seven in the morning, Hana has awoken from the bed of the inn that she rented last night. The shadow of Steve that had driven Hana away last night is still in the dark. But Hana feels instead of heartache again now, there is even a sense of longing to give. His warmth, his kindness was still felt in his heart.

When leaving the house, Hana did not bring anything including a change of clothes. Forced after taking a shower she put on her clothes back that stuck when she left.

Today Hana decided to look for a hostel. He also had no intention of going to school. Today he will enjoy while looking for a temporary place to stay.

After getting the boarding Hana shopping for a few pieces of clothes and food to fill her stomach that was rumbling. Today, the first day of her life began without the help of anyone else. He is determined to be his new self. Start something without getting overwhelmed. Hana took the initiative to change her phone number to be free from her problems.

In her new room, Hana contemplates staring at the clean walls without wall hangings. Remembering the back days when she just got home from the hospital. He smiled, remembering some funny things with Steve, Sandi, and Wei. Soon his eyes glazed over some of the events that made him sad.

*So long as I'll still love you.I'm sorry. I miss

Other places where Steve had worn black suit and black tie to go to his mother's grave. Like in previous years he will go there with his father and mother.

Steve's clouded mind clouded as if not eagerly staring at a bright morning. Half his soul was like he had gone.

Steve went to the funeral with his parents. His heart was filled with a fog of sadness. Hana's expulsion was actually very heart-wrenching. Two months enough to fill his heart with warmth was now replaced with wounds.

Of the many women named Hana, why should she?

Hana.

Are you all right?

Where do you live now?

Have you eaten?

Ah. I can't be left behind

Why don't you refuse one bit? It makes my heart ache Hana.as if you really want to go..I just don't want you to be my sister, I'm really not ready to accept you. But taqdir said something else.

"Steve... Are you okay?" His father patted Steve on the shoulder. Steve's sobs in front of his mother's grave.

Steve just nodded.

Actually, the sadness that Steve feels now is not crying for his mother, but crying cruel she has expelled Hana, even though she loves him very much.

"Steve... What problem do you have? Let's tell dad!" His father felt that Steve was not okay. Ever since we met at the funeral, his face has been blank.

"Dad... " Steve embraced his father tightly. Steve cried as if to vent his sorrow. It felt like she wanted to embrace someone she cared about, but she had already hurt him.

His father Steve embraced him back, stroking his back gave strength to his now fragile son. Although Steve has not told the problem, but the parental instinct is very strong.

"I can't live without him dad." suddenly Steve said softly.

"Patience my son. Mother is calm there. Pray for the best for him!" Steve's father thought Steve was crying for his mother.

"From now on I'll go with Dad.. " Steve can no longer live in Indonesia. His heart was now being broken into pieces into fragments of grief that slashed his heart.

Steve's father let go of his embrace. He looked at his son's tearful face. His thumb wiped Steve's tear gently.

"Yes, I also miss us gathering, it would be better if you go back to France to organize a new life there." Steve's father patted his son's shoulder.

"Mama's also very happy if you come back, son.. Caterina would have been happy if her sister had returned to France." Caterina's mother patted Steve on the back.

"Thank you, mom..! I'll be back with you guys." Now it's Steve's turn to embrace mom. She is a good mother and a faithful wife. Steve was already feeling very close, even though he wasn't born from his womb.

"Of course, tonight we're going home to the villa. It's been a long time since mom didn't visit you, son... "

"Good dad.. "

Throughout the journey his eyes only looked blankly. His soul is empty. Too sick indeed accept the fact that the person who began to fill his heart instead had to be expelled from his life. Because of a past grudge that considers Hana's presence causes her mother to be separated from Steve. Until whenever his heart has not accepted the loss of his mother who loved so much.

With a giant step Steve into the house, accompanied by his parents.

"Dad, I'm going to go to the room, get some rest." Steve asked permission to calm his heart in the room. His heart was too tired and his mind was not okay.

"Okay, rest! I also want to keep Dad's stuff in the room."

Without realizing that the room used by his parents yesterday was used by Hana. And the room was not yet cleared. Because after Hana died last night the servants had rested. And in the morning Steve had already told some of Wei's servants to return to his mansion.

"What's this?" Steve's father was sculpting.See lined up along the closet women's clothes lined up neatly. Steve's father found it strange why his closet was full of women's clothes. He observed one by one the clothes that lined up neatly as well as a pile of t-shirts and pants in the closet.

"Well, why is this closet so full of women's clothes? And the model looks like a young man?" Steve's father said softly.

"What's my husband? How do you dream that?" His wife who just entered the room observed the behavior of her husband who stared at the clothes in the closet like seeing oddities.

"Here ma! I don't think you're weird, seeing these clothes?" Steve's father invited his wife to observe the clothes that were lined up along the closet. The two stared into the closet that was already filled with foreign clothes.

"Yes yeah. Does anyone live here as long as we don't exist?" His wife looked up at her father Steve thinking about the oddity.

"Try ma, look at that on the dresser!" For a moment Steve's father glanced in front of the dresser. There is still a line of female cosmetic tools. The two walked closer to the table.

"Well.this!" His wife found an ATM card lying on the dresser along with a letter.

Steve's father took an envelope with a letter to Steve.

*Two to Steve

I don't know where to start to say. Last night there was a lot I wanted to ask you, but what could you do.

I... say thank you very much for your kindness so far that I have not been able to reply, maybe during here I am too much trouble. And here's the debit card I returned, I've never worn it at all. My prayers may you stay healthy always.Greetings to Wei. Hopefully next time we'll meet again

Salutations. Hannah

"Dad know the guy?"Her mother Caterina looked at her husband's face seriously.

Steve's father sighed, then took it out violently, "I don't know mam."

Steve's father took his foot to the bathroom. Then pause for a moment inside. His eyes stared blankly at the mirror in the bathroom.

Oh my God what happened to my son? Does it have anything to do with yesterday's question? I hope she doesn't fall in love with the wrong person...I'm sorry Sarah.I can't take good care of your son. If taqdir brings them together, make them love each other in terms of relatives instead of falling in love. I don't want the hate to be too long and hurtful...

Steve's father looked around the bathroom and the bathtub.

"Oh my god. Here is also full of feminine equipment. Since when did they meet and stay home?" He said in his heart. Steve's father sat pensively, in his heart he was like blaming himself who was unable to take care of Steve properly. Letting her live alone in Indonesia in her mother's memories.

Ii'm sorry. Sarah... Tomorrow I'll take him to France. Let him live with us there.

He sighed, then went outside the bathroom.

"Wait here! I'll go to Steve's room first!"

Caterina's mother nodded her head.

Steve's father intends to meet Steve and give a debit card with the letter. He hoped Steve could speak frankly.

Tok..

The door knocked on Steve's father.

While in the room Steve laid his body on the bed. He stared at the bag that was still sitting near his sofa, none other than Sandi who he had not taken. Steve was imagining when they were living together in one room. Behind his annoyance at Sandi, he actually felt comforted by Sandi's childish attitude. Sometimes he reminds her of the times he was in High School.

Steve smiled faintly, remembering yesterday-yesterday when he came home there were people accompanying him, even in this room he always teased him. So even when leaving for the office, he was excited for breakfast because the table was no longer alone but three.

Ah. y'all. Why did you come and go. I'm used to the existence of both of you. Today is back as before.

The sound of knocking blew his daydream. Steve's eyes looked at the door.

"Come in!" Steve was a bit lazy to open the door, instead of him opening it, he better tell him to come in. Because the house now only has a father and mother.

Shortly after, Steve's father appeared from behind the door.

"Dad..what's up?" Steve moved to hold his body on the back of the bed. After knowing his father was approaching.

"No. I just want to talk." Steve's father was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Now! I found it on the dresser." Steve's father handed him an ATM card and an envelope containing a letter.

Steve accepts. His hand was a bit shaky to receive the card. In his heart he already knew for sure this was the card he had given Hana at that time.

"Why not open it?" Steve's father, who was watching his son's movements, was astonished. Why didn't Steve open the envelope.

"Yes, later!" Steve didn't want his father to ask about the contents of the letter.

"All right! I want to talk to you." Steve's father had a serious face. Steve did not dare to raise his face.

"Tomorrow I'll go back to France. I hope you pack your things! It's time you helped me manage the hotel. I'm old, I hope you don't work with Wei anymore. But learn to manage your father's business so you can continue."

"How's it?" Steve's father patted his son's bowing feet.

"Good dad!" Steve did not dare to refuse anymore, unlike before when his father invited him to France to work there.

"Good! It is time for you to grow up and find a soul mate there. Mom's dad misses gathering."

Steve just nodded. There was nothing Steve did when his heart was as upset as it is now. He complied more and did not dare to refute his father anymore.

"Then I want to cook first. When you are ready to come out! We'll eat together." Steve's father slapped Steve's leg. Then stood up leaving Steve who was still sitting on his bed. He walked into the kitchen.

It turns out his wife was already in the kitchen was removing the contents of the refrigerator.

"Mama's still in the room." Steve's father saw the back of his wife who was busy sorting out various ingredients that had just been removed from the refrigerator.

"Mama wants to help me cook. You must be hungry too, right?" Connect Caterina's mother.

"Yes. I intend to cook." Steve's father Cheff was used to cooking in the kitchen. Without being asked, she would happily prepare the food.

"Tumben a lot of cooking ingredients. Usually the stock is just frozen food." His father was astonished to see a lot of cooking ingredients that his wife had just removed from the refrigerator.

"Well.is there a serious problem with Steve?" Caterina's mother was curious about Steve's condition.

"Don't know!" His father answered short.

"Do you not know, Dad? Didn't you just come from Steve's room?" His wife's eyes were gawking as if in disbelief.

"Dad just took her home tomorrow to France. From tomorrow he will stay with us. Mama doesn't mind, does she?" His father Steve who was sorting the ingredients for a moment saw his wife's face.

"My mom was happy. Hasn't Steve not been with us for a long time? Besides, Caterina would be happy if her sister would get together again." His wife's face looks bright.

They cook with small talk. No waiting for long all the dishes are ready. Mama Caterina immediately prepared the dishes on the table.

"Try Steve, get him to the table!" Steve's father told his wife to call him.

"Good." Without waiting for long his wife stepped into Steve's room.

tock.tok..

"Steve's.. " Mom didn't open the door immediately, he preferred to wait. After waiting for a while for no answer, he knocked on the door again. Then he called back Steve's name, but there was no answer either.
