LOVE IN LIFE

57

The food is ready, Maria asks Minah to call everyone to eat. Minah's steps came to a halt as she watched Amelia wipe her tears on the side of the door leading to the living room. Minah stared at Oma who was standing looking at Ghani who looked restrained.

"Non Amelia! Miss Maria said to call everyone to eat" Minah said.

Amelia turned her eyes so that Minah would not see her eyes that had been crying.

"Yes, good Mba! " answer Amelia.

Amelia took a deep breath and tidied her hair then turned around to go into the living room, but Minah pulled her hand.

"Non Amel, wait! " calling Minah.

Amelia turned her head and rounded her eyes asking Minah.

"Patiently, the late Mr. Narendra would have been happy that Non Amelia stayed in this house" Minah said.

Amelia thought a little, she remembered Mr. Narendra Minah meant. Little sweet memories of her and Mr. Narendra exchanging thoughts about the problems Amelia faced during High School.

Amelia smiled and held Minah's hand.

"Thank you Mba" said Amelia.

Minah entered first and broke the silence between Oma Mira and Ghani. Davin immediately grabbed Oma Mira's hand and took her to the dining room.

Ghani is still carried away by emotions, but she sees Amelia coming in from the kitchen and smiles at her. Her smile was sweet, like the first time she drove her to school. Ghani's heart melted, she grabbed Amelia's hand which invited her in and joined.

Alex let out a loud sigh, he stretched his tie and fanned his face.

"Yes, lunch. We have to have lunch so as not to get too tense facing the day" Alex murmured.

"What's making you tense Lex! "

Vania's voice made Alex aghast. Vania chuckled as she patted her shoulder.

"So shocked" continued Vania.

Gala's family came, except Gala herself. Zidan and Vania, his mother was very excited to have breakfast together there.

"Mr Gala didn't come? " excited Alex because Vania and Zidan left him.

Vania did not turn her head at all, she just waved her hand, gesturing that her husband would not come.

Alex caught up with them, the atmosphere still felt horror to him. He sat near Ghani, parallel to Maria and Amelia.

"Well wow, so today there really is a new member in this house? " call Zidan while sitting down.

But he stood up again and offered a hand to Amelia.

"Zidan, the youngest son in the house" said Zidan, winking one eye.

Davin looked at Zidan's hand that led to Amelia, he also looked at Amelia who seemed hesitant to welcome her introduction.

Bella looks at Davin's face, then turns to Zidan who looks flirtatious on Amelia.

"Eat, the food will be cold" said Bella.

He stomped Zidan's feet in annoyance. Zidan grimaced but still tried to show Amelia a smile.

"Stop stale, you already know that Amelia is the woman who gave birth to the son of Davin. So don't make drama" said Oma Mira. .

"Ouh, this is Amelia who is trending the topic these few days? " greet Vania by looking at Amelia.

"It's enough, aren't we going to eat now" Davin said.

Ghani is very unhappy with everyone's treatment of Amelia. But Amelia held him by holding her squeezing hand under the table.

Davin looked at Amelia's movements that looked at her father and then blinked her eyes for a while. Davin understood that Amelia was trying to get her father to hold back his emotions.

~I should have been looking for you until I could, so no one treated you like this~ Davin said.

Bella sees the look on Davin's face that keeps watching Amelia. He's got some more food for Davin. And surprised him. Reflexively, Davin brushed off Bella's hand that had never done anything like that to her.

"Darling, I just want to get you some food. Focus, so you are not easily surprised. There's still a lot you don't know" Bella said, staring at Amelia.

"I SAID ENOUGH! " Oma yelling.

He sighed loudly after venting his frustration. Davin immediately stood up and rubbed his back.

"Yes Oma, forgive us. Does Oma want to rest? " ask Davin.

Oma squirms doesn't want Davin's attention.

"Sit down, I'm not that weak so I have to go to see this kind of tension"

Oma didn't look at Davin.

"Eating table is just a place to gather and eat together. All it sounds like is good news and good food. Two people are not present at this time, you are also discussing something that is not important. You guys forgot all the rules my husband set? "

Oma explained. Everyone looked down except for Amelia who kept staring at Oma's face which showed how much she had experience and authority.

Oma looked at him for a while then returned to eating her food.

Maria remained focused on Dama which made her very happy. He feeds her and makes her comfortable despite the tension at the dinner table.

Oma only glared when she saw all her behavior. But he let all that, so that Dama also more accustomed not to rely on Amelia. Her heart remained firm wanting to get rid of Amelia as soon as possible from this house.

Lunch was over despite the stressful events. Amelia and Dama lead Ghani to the gate. Davin followed from behind.

Ghani's eyes touched his son's face.

"I'm sorry dad" Ghani said.

"For what I'm sorry about, I'm not wrong" Hasna said.

"If only you weren't bound by this job, maybe... "

Ghani did not continue his speech.

"Father.the word may be a form of our unbelief in God's destiny. It's not dad, Amelia's dad isn't like that"

Amelia came and hugged her father. Davin approached and took Dama, so that they would be more free to let each other go.

Ghani hugged Amelia tightly, occasionally rubbing her son's head. His loud breath was heard by Amelia who was leaning against his chest.

Davin stared at the sight. He regretted having threatened her.

"Father! " calling Dama.

Dama's funny voice makes Ghani and Amelia wake up from their sadness and let go of each other's embrace.

"Your son is very smart, he can tell which father he is not" Ghani said.

Amelia looked at Davin who looked so fond of Dama, but she remembered Saga. Amelia turned her gaze elsewhere and remembered all the sweet times with Saga.

~Has he been on a plane?~ ask Amelia's heart.

His gaze turned to Bella who was standing in front of the main door while folding her hands. Amelia immediately took Dama to kiss her father's hand.

"Say see you to grandpa" Amelia's pinta.

Dama took his grandfather's hand and gaped kissed him. Amelia smiled, Ghani was comforted by Dama's behavior.

"See you Dama" said Ghani.

A kiss on Amelia's forehead, cheeks and forehead ended their meeting. Amelia remained silent and stared at her father's disappearance at the turn of Narendra's block.
