After lunch with his grandmother and grandfather, El helped Fatma peel the apple she wanted to eat, not forgetting El cut it too, so Fatma could eat it more easily.
All this time El knew how good and unfortunately his grandmother and grandfather. El thought it was natural, because El was their only grandson, until the baby's younger brother was born, El was still very dear to his grandparents. But today El just realized, he is no one in this family, but the grandfather and grandmother are still very kind to him.
Hearing the conversation of his grandparents accidentally, like opening a secret door that had been closed. El just stay in slowly and carefully if you want to know what is in it.
After finishing lunch El paid to open the grandmother's suitcase and take her belongings to take home. There are also many El's. It is fitting that yesterday Indra had given him input when he saw so many shopping items.
" Sir, now El pamit go home first yes, sorry for not being able to sleep here and nemenin grandma who is sick again, because Arsy is also fussy, too, maybe Madam Dila needs El's help at home" El said looking for an excuse.
" Yes baby.no papa, after all grandmother is better, you should go home and help your mother take care of Arsy" said Fatma.
El came out of his grandmother's house with mixed feelings erratically. There is sadness, disappointment, because he turns out to be someone else's son, not his real father Indra. But El also felt lucky and very grateful because El was left behind by his biological parents, precisely in a family that everyone was good. From grandfather, grandmother, father and also a very good and very affectionate contact mother.
~ Om Bram El otw now ~
It was a message sent by El as he walked out of his grandmother's house.
The grandmother's personal driver escorted El because Fatma told him to, El could not refuse, because El's luggage was quite a lot and there was also no reason to refuse his grandmother's request.
But while in the car, El tells the driver to drop himself off at the RX cafe, because there is a friend waiting there." Didn't papa Den El get off here?".
El nodded, "No papa, I just went back to my grandmother's house, later El told my grandmother that El had arrived home, thanks for the ride" said El while getting out of the car.
As El walked into the cafe carrying a bag of his groceries, El sat next to the edge close to the wide glass window, he saw a man he was waiting for had just arrived at the cafe parking lot and got out of his car.
" I'm sorry sister... Is sister here alone?, where is her family?".
El pointed at Bram who was walking into the cafe." That's my om, please make one chocolate milkshake and white coffee for my om, the same french fries and two pancakes" said El like an adult.
The waiter just nodded, and believed El's words because while staring at the man called Om by El, Bram waved at them.
" All right, wait a minute, handsome brother", said the cafe waiter very sweetly.
" It's appropriate to call it cute, om it's also cute", muttered the cafe waiter who can still be heard to the ears of El, though soft.
Bram arrived and immediately sat to the right of El relaxed and cool. " It's been a long time?, sorry Om was stuck so a little late" said Bram while staring at El's shopping bag which was quite a lot lying in the left seat El.
" El was also new to Om, is now El can immediately ask the reason El invited Om Bram to meet here?", El did not ramble, he immediately talked about the reason he wanted to meet with Bram.
" Wah.. went straight to the point, it turns out you are more similar to Indra than with.", Bram did not continue his sentence.
" With Faris?, what does Om Bram mean by Faris, my real father?", asked El with a probing look.
Bram immediately glared in shock as El pointed at him with that sentence.
" When do you know this?, Om think you met Om because you do not know and want to find out about the secret that has been in the record by your family".
Bram did not expect if it turns out El already knew it.
" But it's good, if Dila or Ms. Fatma had told you first, so it wasn't me who leaked the big secret about you?", Bram took a piece of paper that he had stored very carefully long enough. Then hand it to El.
" Secretly Dila gave the sample to the hospital and did a DNA check on you and Indra, but after knowing the results that you are not Indra's biological child, Dila did not tell anyone about it. He holds the truth for himself".
" Even your family knows that when you and Dila were in an accident in front of your school, you were out of blood, and you needed a donor who had the same blood type as yours".
" The blood of Indra and Kayla is not the same as yours, that's when all the secrets were revealed. Your mother.she turned out to be related to another man when she was your father's wife".
" I don't know what kind of mother Kayla is, even though she is Om's cousin, but Om strongly disagrees with her attitude and personality. Very inversely proportional to your mother now. Dila... village girl who is very motherly, who will not fall in love when she sees and knows him?, all men will definitely be interested if she knows him more closely".
" Indra is lucky to have you, because you are the reason why Dila wants to accept Indra as her husband. If only you used to live with Om, Dila would prefer Om to be her husband, in order to take care of you".
El became a loyal listener of Om Bram, the heart's intent to know about his identity, but instead El listened to more curses from Bram who was heartbroken because Bu Dila preferred Indra's father.
" actually... El just knew Om, that was not intentional, El also did not expect much to know about all the truths that were kept secret, it was enough with this DNA test evidence paper", el said after reading the test results in his hand.
" It wasn't Miss Dila or Grandma Fatma who told me about this truth, El just accidentally listened to someone talking about it".
" Although Indra's father is not El's father, and he also keeps the truth to El, El will still love him. El already thought of him as El's own real father. Because the person who is actually El's real father, does not care about the situation El all this time, just because it is not related to blood, does not mean a child can not love his adoptive father with all his heart".
" Thank you Om, let this paper El is stored, because El has the right to keep it, how this paper can be in Om, El also does not know. But clearly, now El is willing to save, because El is entitled to ownership of this letter".
Bram agreed. " How can a child as small as you speak in this style of adult language, I don't even feel like I'm talking to children" Bram said, chuckling to himself.
The conversation paused when their food and beverage orders came.
" This time let El who treat Om Bram, because Om has been good to me and also Miss Dila, but remember, do not dare to approach Bu Dila, because he only belongs to Indra's father".
Bram who was tasting fries until choking, so shocked by the words El just now. Children with adult language.
" You're just like your grandmother, asking to meet at the cafe and coming just to threaten me to stay away from Dila. It was fortunate that Indra, who had a mother and children, cared deeply for her". Bram sips white coffee that is still hot by blowing it first.
" Has Fatma's grandmother ever done anything like that?", asked El curiously.
Bram nodded, "It was while Dila was still living in Jogja. For a long time, when I did not know that Dila was Indra's wife, Dila was very young at that time, she was still a student" said Bram.
" Do you want me to introduce you to someone who is beautiful and also good like Miss Dila?", asked El deliberately teasing Bram.
" Kid as small as you where there is an acquaintance of girls of the same age with Om, anyways where there are good girls who want to be the same Om, the famous playboy. It has already been able to stamp not good in the eyes of women, so only women who like to play games just want to be Om's girlfriend" said Bram.
El looks at Bram carefully from head to toe. " Oms are not ugly, even look handsome and money, surely the woman I recommend to Om, will love to meet Om. But not this time, wait for me to tell that person first. It's late, and I'm going home, I'm sure you'll be home soon. If you know I haven't come home, they'll be worried" El said, sipping his chocolate milkshake to the last drop.
" Thank you, um, I'll see you next time".
El stood up and paid the bill at the cashier, only after that he took the groceries placed on the chair.
" At home until home, it's late afternoon, it's time for people to go home from work, surely online motorcycle taxi wait a long time at rush hour like today".
El agreed.
Bram went out of the cafe, smiling to himself, and had only been in a child's treat for a lifetime.
