In a different place. In a gray room accompanied by LED lights. The room was warm and shady. The man blinked his eyes the effects of being exposed to sunlight that began to appear to shine on the earth and enter through the sidelines of his room window.
Those silvery, wiry eyes, I am sorry for just waking up from a long sleep. He stretched his stiff muscles.
"Harry, did you really enjoy the party last night until you woke up this afternoon?" I asked Mama, who suddenly entered Harry's room. That man is Harry Davidson. The silver-eyed, tall man had just woken up from his sleep after 12:00 p.m. and missed breakfast with the family.
"Why should mom scream? was this morning mama's breakfast loudspeaker?" harry's tease on the sidelines stretched his burly muscles.
Mama threw a pillow at Harry and said.
"Do you have a chance to joke?"
"And does Mama still have the energy to be angry?" reply Harry relax.
"Harry!"
"I love you Mom." Harry's warm words melt the heart of the middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful even though she is no longer young. His heart felt shady and peaceful when listening to his own son's simple words.
"I love you to dear," Mama replied no less warmly. Harry hugged Mama's slender body and kissed the middle-aged woman's head.
"I love Mama. Mama is my woman" Harry said with a smile.
"Then follow the desire of Mama to replace your Papa, son," pinta Mama. The woman tries to persuade Harry to follow in the footsteps of her husband who was captain of the ship.
"Is this really Mama's wish or is it just an obligation?" ask Harry in full. Mama became awkward.
"What do you mean?" mama asked, throwing her face in any direction. The middle-aged woman did not dare to look into the eyes of her son who was trying to find the truth inside. Harry smiled wryly.
"Even Mama didn't dare look Harry in the eye" said Harry. Mom looked at Harry.
"Honey, follow your Papa's wishes or Grandpa's wishes. At least be someone who is responsible" Mama said.
"Mama, Harry doesn't like being forced. If Harry wants to show responsibility for this family, let Harry do it his own way" Harry explained, trying to explain to the woman who gave birth to him.
"But son, when are you going to be like this? you are no longer young, son. At least you should get married" Mama replied expectantly to surprise Harry.
"Oh, so this is about marriage?" ask Harry in full.
"Mama, talking about marriage is not a young thing. Harry did not want to show Harry responsibility through the stupid marriage. If Harry wants to work, then Harry will do what Harry wants himself to do" Harry said. However, still with tenderness.
"Which job do you mean? will being a tour guide make you a successful person? or by following your friends you become a wild racer on the road.?" Mom's voice began to rise. This time his emotions got out of control and overflowed without any excuse. Harry was silent, not shaking.
"Oh Harry, when are you gonna be like this, son? at least work at Grandpa's hospital or follow Papa you sail," Mama said expectantly. Mom's voice began to soften.
"And Mama will be alone in this house" said Harry, and successfully made Mama's heart pinch.
"Harry stays with the establishment of Harry who wants to be a tour guide. Harry has made his decision" Harry said. Still with politeness.
"Then listen to your decision too. You'll follow in Papa's footsteps no matter what, period." Finish, your decision has been taken. The middle-aged woman wanted to leave Harry in the room. However, his steps came to a halt as Harry's sentence stirred his soul so deeply.
"Then Mama will be alone in this house without someone who listens to Mama's complaints" said Harry, and successfully stopped the steps of the woman who had given birth to him.
"Then how is it different from your decision to become a tour guide? isn't that the same as leaving Mama alone in this house?" mama's question silenced Harry. The man could not answer anymore. She just stared at Mama's back until she disappeared from behind the door. Harry smiled wryly.
"Mama is only doing her duty as a wife. Harry knows, Ma. Deep down inside Mama's heart, Mama doesn't want Harry anywhere."
Yeah, honestly you didn't want Harry to follow in his father's footsteps. Not without reason she did all that, but she could not deny the wishes of her husband. The middle-aged man held more hope in his only son. Being the captain of the ship replaced his position that was no longer young.
While Mama has other wishes, Harry becomes a businessman or a director at his grandfather's hospital. Harry is a medical alumni at one of the top universities in his country. However, his profession was not run at all. He chose to be a tour guide, but still hit the blessing of his parents. For a while Harry became a street racer.
Harry became a wild racer just to drive away the burnout. Although he was strong-willed, but the silver-eyed man really wanted the blessing of his parents.
Harry is not a heartless son who deliberately ignores the decision of his parents, but the desire to find his true identity is very strong, namely by becoming a tour guide. I don't know what's interesting about being a tour guide. However, the profession made Harry challenged to get to know the world even further. Although at an age that is no longer young, he still has not found his true identity.
By becoming a tour guide, Harry will appreciate life more. Harry will meet with others from different countries and exchange stories. Whether it's a sad story or a happy one. There will certainly be wisdom learned from every story of people he met from various countries.
By becoming a tour guide, Harry will learn about the importance of being someone meaningful to the family. He will learn a lot about the value of life. Either the knowledge will be obtained in the street, or from someone who does not know him at all.
