Love Stories Overseas

Chapter 150

Along the way home from the Central market, Ms. Fatma did not say a word, as did Dila who was afraid to say the wrong thing. While El and Indri clearly look equally confused and are guessing in their hearts.

" Would you like to come home to Jakarta, do you still want to stay a few more days here?", asked Dila to break the silence. He sat next to El on the back bench, while Bu Fatma and Indri in front because Indri brought his own car.

" Mom also want to return to Jakarta today, together with you, because you should only plan a week vacation here. But knowing you and El will be here, Dad adds three more days to his vacation. The work in his office must have piled up, you two are invited to continue the work of father, instead you are busy with your respective work".

" Maybe I really want to rest, but I can't let go of my hands and let the company run without his control. However, the father has built the business from scratch, therefore the father does not want the company to fall into the hands of others, as well as the mother, the mother wants the mother's child to continue the father's business".

Fatma looked straight ahead while saying her heart.

" Mommy, there is El, if Indra can not nerusin father's work, maybe later El will be the successor to the father. After all, El is also the blood of Indra's meat as well".

Fatma did not respond to Indri's remarks, because El was not Indra's flesh and blood, El was someone else's irresponsible son.

They reached home, and when down Dila immediately ran because he heard the sound of Arsy who was crying. Dila immediately washed her hands and face because she had traveled, such is the custom of Dila if she came home from traveling to clean it herself, so that Arsy was comfortable and did not contract the virus or bacteria brought by Dila from outside.

" Okay... daughter dear mother... sorry mom went over?, must have wanted mimi ASI y?, let's now go to the room and Mimi ASI", Said Dila while taking Arsy from Indra's sling, and brought him to the room to be given ASI.

" Indra followed Dila into the room, and saw El who entered the house while carrying a lot of groceries.

" I'm sorry Mas, I didn't know that it would be this long shopping for souvenirs", Dila felt so guilty because her daughter kept crying since then.

Dila instantly gave Asi to Arsy in the room. And Arsy instantly fell silent from his cries.

" So I actually wanted a phone, uh even got there first, by chance. Go out first, see El buy anything".

Dila nodded, "El shopping is quite a lot, maybe a derivative of her biological parents who like shopping, whether her mother or her biological father", Dila's mind, while staring at Indra who came out of the room.

Since the car was Dila kept thinking about Bram's speech in front of the Central market earlier, according to Dila emang true that said Bram, El should know the truth, but as a connecting mother, he said, Dila had absolutely no right to tell the truth about El. Ebih entitled Indra or Bu Fatma who has taken care of El since childhood.

But come to think of it, how El's attitude will be if he knows the truth, he must be sad, disappointed, maybe his attitude will change a little to everyone because he knows he is not part of this family.

The obvious dilemma. Moreover, Indra never again discussed the problem, even Indra did not want to see El's real father, until now Indra still does not know who El's father is, all for the sake of his feelings towards El.

Indra is very afraid of becoming resentful of El, if he finds out who El's real father is.

Dila finished giving Asi to Arsy until Arsy fell asleep, maybe since Arsy had not slept so when given ASI Arsy immediately slept soundly. Dila came out and joined the others after putting Arsy on the bed.

" Want to leave at what time to the airport Mas?", asked Dila while sitting next to Indra who was looking at El's groceries.

" Our 2 hours to the airport, there are still three hours here, make this packing of El's many groceries" Indra murmured.

" Yes, the father is a friend of El a lot, so El boughtinya a lot to be shared with friends when going to school later" said El trying to explain, El, if the goods are not for himself, but to be shared with his friends.

" Good, father's son loves to share, but if you can give advice, sharing is even more fitting for those who need it more. It's not that I don't like what El is doing right now, it's just that as far as dad knows, El's classmates are capable kids from the family, so things like this are common".

Indra tried to explain to El slowly. El listened carefully, although he did not understand his father's explanation.

" So what was El wrong?", asked El.

Indra shook his head, "El is not wrong, just not fit, I can give souvenirs to El's friends, once in a while" said Indra.

" Now El help mom pack all this stuff in a suitcase. All the change of clothes we brought here. Try to load or not, if not fit later can be deposited into the suitcase grandmother", Dila took El to the room and brought her groceries to be packed into the suitcase.

Indeed El spent quite a lot of money to buy souvenirs earlier, but Dila did not mind it, because of El's own money that El used to shop.

Since entering Elementary School, El was given a monthly stipend of 500,000, Indra freed El to practice self-regulating his expenses for a month, and it turns out El included rarely snacks outside school, including food snacks, because El likes to be brought by Dila. El actually often saves from the excess of his pocket money, but once invited shopping, El immediately uses his savings without hesitation.

" Mom, why don't you forbid El to shop while in the Central market earlier?, if you stop El, then you don't have to lecture El that way".

Dila looked at El closely.

" Are you blaming the mother who did not forbid El to shop earlier?", asked Dila in a soft tone.

" No ma'am, that's not what El meant. It's just that El felt he had done the wrong thing after hearing the father's words", said El limp, while putting his groceries in a suitcase.

" Sorry dear mother, I also do not know father will comment like earlier, for the learning of both of us yes dear" said Dila slowly.

" This stuff El can't fit everything into Mom's suitcase, how dong?", asked El again.

" Try asking grandma the suitcase there is still the rest of the space what is not?, so it can be placed in the suitcase grandmother" said Dila gave a solution.

El nodded and met the grandmother who had since returned immediately locked himself in the room.

" Granny why?, tired of shopping, so immediately rest?", asked El who went into Fatma's room after first knocking on her door.

Fatma woke up and nodded, "Granny is tired, understandably old, so not as strong as before" replied Fatma lying, actually Fatma was thinking of meeting with Bram earlier, her husband did not know about the real El, if you remember that, Fatma so again felt worried.

" What do you want here?", asked Fatma while sitting facing El's position.

El was also sitting on the edge of the bed, next to Fatma, "Is Grandma's suitcase still empty?, El's belongings don't fit in El's suitcase, can El put it in Grandma's suitcase?", asked El without further ado.

" It's still spacious, grandma does not bring a lot of clothes here, there are already clothes that grandmother lived here first when Aunt Indri lahiran, just bring El's things, later grandmother help packing", fatma.

El nodded with a smile. And went back to his room to pick up the things that had not been in the suitcase.

El and Fatma worked together to pack El's belongings into Fatma's suitcase, since then either way the grandfather, Fatma had not met since returning from shopping souvenirs.
