Love Without Conditions

Chapter 87

Two days later Ian received a notification back in Ilham's email on his phone that the man had booked a boat ticket to cross from Bakauheni Harbour to Merak Port.

Ian sighed harshly. That means it's likely he's up to Jakarta at night...

For two days Ian was at his parents' house he could not contact the man at all. He has called and sent messages like a loan shark who is terrorizing but the results still have no answer. He's very upset. Ilham could hold a cell phone to carry out various transactions that he saw in the email, but why could the man not pick up the phone from him or even just send a message? Ian did not think about her husband's behavior.

"Ma, there's a new Om Yoyo coming out". Varo's words suddenly came to tell Ian.

Ian looked at his already grown son. "Biarin.. He will also enter.. Have you eaten?".

"Udah, Mom. Ma's.. Papa when's he coming home anyway?".

"Maybe tonight, baby.. Whyyyy?". Ask Ian.

"Did Papa call Mama?".

Ian was silent for a moment. "Yes.." Ian said briefly. Ian is forced to lie to Varo because he knows that Varo is a very critical child. His eldest son is very sensitive to all changes that occur around him including the situation of his parents.

"Ilham's coming home today?".

Ian and Varo looked back and saw Rio who was not far from them.

Ian nodded. "I guess tonight's up..."

Rio did not respond. The man immediately embraced Varo like between men. "Waduh this is a bachelor Om Yoyo.. Are we going to the mall today? Must be a deserted mall anyway.."

Hearing Rio's words, Varo then turned to look at Ian with a sparkling face. "Can't Ma?".

Ian shook his head. "Can't. Did you forget there was a math lesson at 2pm?".

Varo looks pouted.

"Stupid is okay.." Rio.

"Can't do it, Yo.. School lessons are getting harder.. Especially Math.. I think the lesson of children now the material is faster than we used to be.. Like the math material that we studied in 5th grade even now already exist in 3rd grade material".

Rio mangut-mangut understood. He glanced at Varo who still showed a sullen look.

"Yes already fit Varo aja holiday or again there is no schedule of our new tutoring to the mall.. Still online school via zoom anyway, right?".

Varo nodded undeterred and left Ian and Rio.

Ian really educated his son well by himself. Only 80% of them educate their son alone. Ilham's contribution so far in giving his role as a father was minimal since their children were young. For the man, going home is just about going to bed without bothering to interact and build a deep relationship with his children. Even the man did not like if he was disturbed while playing a mobile phone.

"Lo don't be so hard on your kids, Ian". Sahut Rio's.

"Gw is not hard. I just taught them discipline early on. My two kids are men. I have to educate them properly. So that they become personally responsible and can sort out which priorities and which ones are not".

"By the way, the inspiration is already connected lo? or did you manage to get in touch with him?".

Ian smiled wryly. "Gw look at the email again.. He did not pick up the phone or send a message to me. All the hotel activities or what, I know from his email".

Rio sighed softly. "Honestly I'm confused as to what kind of response. Lo looks all right. Living life as usual. But I never know what goes deeper.."

Ian turned his head towards Rio who stepped up taking the mineral water inside the refrigerator. His eyes observed every small movement of the man. Rio gulped down the mineral water until half the bottle was gone.

"But..want to know when you're in an unhealthy relationship?". Rio said as he put his bottle of mineral water right in front of Ian.

Ian turned his shoulders. "It's my relationship and she's not healthy, is she?".

Rio stared intensely at Ian's bead eyes. Both of the men's hands were crossed in the chest.

"If according to me it's not healthy. Lo and she are Ian's husband and wife, which is your relationship deeper than just dating. People dating just like it is still better interaction I think anyway if in the bandingin with the interaction lo and Ilham".

Hearing Rio's words, Ian smiled wryly. How else would you like? I was missteps from the beginning..

"Although I still have a taste with lo, but I wish you the best. For your children. I know marriage is not just a courtship that is easy to separate. There's a lot to think about. But you know? I've been crazy for a long time to squirm lo who sometimes come crying to the apartment gw or ngajak gw jockeying on the street at night and you never explain anything to me!".

Ian looked at Rio with an indescribable look. "Is it possible that if I go back in time, things could be different?".

Rio shook his head. "Don't mendicant. Most people who think about going back in time are people who have great regrets in the present".

"Are you sorry now? Regretting marrying Ilham or regretting something else?". Rio continued by looking at Ian very sharply.

I regret what for? Is it because marrying too soon with Inspiration without recognizing more deeply the character of the man? or far from it...?

"God! Even daydreaming!". Rio said as he patted Ian on the shoulder.

Ian chuckled revealing his neat rows of teeth.

"Lo want some brownies, Yo? I did the same mom yesterday. It's really good..." Ian stood up past Rio and opened the refrigerator behind the man.

Rio who was aware if Ian again switched the conversation could only sigh. The man's bead looked at Ian who was bending over picking up a box of brownies from inside the refrigerator.

Make me frustrated continue without any clarity, long time I kiss you!

Omel Rio inwardly stared at Ian who was cutting the brownies next to him.

Present👋👋👋

Warm kiss from me!😘
