LOVE IN LIFE

Davin threw his briefcase into the bed. Maria opened the door and asked.

"What is this Davin? " ask Mary.

Davin stared out the window, he was still adjusting his breathing.

"Surely that kid messed up in the office, right? I had expected, his arrival would only bring disaster in this house" said Maria.

"Buuu, don't call Saga like that" Davin said, closing his eyes for a moment.

"Why indeed? He is a child" answered Maria.

"Then my call is the son of the actor! " davin's voice is rising.

Maria was surprised by his words. He limps down and then sits on the sofa.

Davin regretted saying it, but he disliked Mary's casual calling to others.

He approached and persuaded his moody mother.

"Sorry Mom, but the way you call someone, I don't agree with that. It could have been someone else calling me a bad name too" Davin tried to explain.

"I was betrothed to your father Vin. Oma asked that from my parents first. He said your father's first wife preferred his career over family and they got divorced. I don't deserve to be called an actor" Maria started crying.

"Sorry Mom! " Davin clasped his hand.

"Living in this house with your father is like the garden behind this house. Beautiful, there are flowers there. It was neglected and never thought to exist. It takes time to melt your father's heart so he can touch me and get to you" Maria wiped her tears.

Davin looked down, remembering his treatment of Bella.

"Then I know how Bella feels. I'm also upset about your attitude towards her" Maria said.

Davin.

"But forget it, you've started treating him well lately. Happy mom. Now forget about Saga, let her do what she wants. Just focus on your work, prove to your father you deserve to be the leader there" Maria encouraged.

But Davin frowned. He took off his hand and stood back up staring out the window.

Davin was still upset and decided to shut up.

Amelia sat on the bed patting slowly the back of Dama who began to sleepy. But his mind could not escape what Davin said.

'What did Saga do? Why is Davin so angry and does not care if Dama can hear and imitate him, ' said Amelia's heart.

Seeing that Dama had fallen asleep, Amelia took her phone and was about to call Saga.

The call was immediately raised.

"Hi baby, why? You miss me? " greetings Saga.

Amelia fell silent, she heard Saga's relaxed tone of voice.

'He's so relaxed, then what is Davin concerned about? ' ask Amelia's heart.

"Hallo! " Saga repeated because she didn't hear Amelia's answer.

"Hmmm, yeah! " answer Amelia.

"You why? Did anyone hurt you there? " tanya Saga began to suspect.

"No, I just want you to come home with my favorite donut, can you? " ask Amelia to divert the conversation.

"Of course" replied Saga.

"Yes, thank you" replied Amelia.

"Darling" cried Saga.

"Hmm?"

"Can you give me a distant kiss to encourage me today? " the pinta Saga.

"We never did" Amelia said.

"Please, this time we get used to it, we will get married. I also feel that today is exhausting. Yep! " persuade Saga.

Amelia thought, maybe they got into a fight and made Davin misunderstand her words. Amelia believes that Saga is not the type of guy who looks for trouble. Even if he wants to return just to take his rights, it does not mean by taking the rights of others.

"Okay, the spirit of Saga, love you. Muaachs! " said Amelia stiffly.

Saga smiled happily even though she knew Amelia was still awkward to say it.

"Thank you dear" replied Saga.

"Happy work" said Amelia.

"Bye! "

Amelia hung up. He nodded and thought again.

'Yes, Saga is loving. He said he loved Davin and his family. Davin may have misrespected his silence' said Amelia's heart that brushed aside her own concerns.

Before long, Minah came to call him.

"Oma asked you to go to the reading room" Minah said.

Minah looked up at the bed and saw that Dama was sleeping. Amelia looked at him.

"Let me take care of him" said Minah.

Amelia smiled as she nodded, she went to the reading room.

***

Oma took out all the books that had been lined up neatly on a large shelf in the reading room. He ruffled as he frowned as if looking for something.

Amelia came, she knocked on the door that had been open since.

"Come in! " said Oma Mira.

Amelia stared at all the books on the floor in disbelief.

'Gosh, how could such an old big madam be ransacking such a book? ' ask Amelia's heart.

"Tick this up, sort out whatever I've read and haven't. Put what I've read in the corner over there and what I haven't read here"

Oma pointed in the direction she wanted.

"What is the sign of the book you have read?" ask Amelia.

Oma Mira was stunned, she recalled the last time she asked Bella to help her tidy up the book room.

'Their response was different, Bella was immediately emotional and showed dislike when I told her to. But he's... '

Oma looked at Amelia.

"Oh, I already understand madam" Amelia had already found the sign that Oma Mira had given her.

"Whatis that? " ask Oma.

"This ribbon marker, you put it on the last page if you've read it. While those who have not, are still on the main page" explained Amelia.

"You've been to the reading room before? " ask Oma.

"Yes, the public library. There are some people who do the same. There are also those who are ignorant to mark it with balpen or pencil, it is quite difficult. I always remove it and it's a hassle. But because it was me.... "

Amelia spoke familiarly, she became silent as she realized who she was talking to.

"Why silence? Because that's why you? " ask Oma.

Amelia looked at him, she remembered her mother.

"Therefore I'm used to books, ma'am" Amelia said back formally.

Oma Mira was silent to hear it. He glanced at Amelia who had started tidying up her book.

"Read some books you like. I've read a lot, but sometimes it's hard to read people" Oma said.

Amelia slightly did not understand her words.

"Sometimes I feel like my choice is right, reading the genealogy of his family and life. But it turns out that humans are not formed only with genealogy and life only. The process actually has a greater impact in shaping someone" continued Oma.

Amelia still doesn't understand.

"You don't understand? " ask Oma.

Amelia shook her head.

Oma Mira smiled.

"I read you, you're the son of my employees and I humbled you. But after I heard, you were a pretty diligent kid and didn't complain much about your life process" Oma explained.

"That's a compliment or.....? " Amelia's confused.

"Only in conclusion, I don't praise you" Oma pointed at him with a stick.

Amelia turned her curious face into a frown. He continued his work.

Meanwhile, Oma Mira sat down and read the book she had found.
