"Honey, let Ella choose where to live" Albert said.
"But when he lived alone?" ghina Protest.
"He's an adult" Albert said.
"No. I don't allow it" Ghina insisted on taking Ella.
"Give Ella the trust. He's an adult, he can take care of himself" Albert persuaded.
"He is still under our responsibility, Al" Ghina said.
"Yes, I know. Staying alone doesn't mean we're out of responsibility" Albert said.
"Are you brave to stay here alone? If you get sick, wake up and so on, who will take care of you?" gina's Nagging at Ella.
Ella took her breath. "It's true too Mama said. But can I come face to face with him every day? I passed out at school this morning, unable to sleep and thinking?" ella's mind raged.
"You should come with Mama anyway" forced Ghina.
"No way, Ma. I can't be comfortable living there." Albert looked at Ella sharply, upon hearing the girl's words. "Ah, I mean ... I won't be able to leave this house and live there" Ella said.
"La, if you want to stay here, please. But on condition, must be good at taking care of themselves. But if tomorrow we want to stay with us, we always accept you at any time" said Albert.
"Shhh... Dear. I haven't made a decision." Ghina still disagrees.
"You dare to be alone overnight?" ghina asked again, trying to shake Ella.
"Ma, just think of me again. Self study. I'm brave, really," said Ella anyway. Both are stubborn.
"Maybe there are many memories that cannot be left behind. Do not force him to always follow our will, as long as it is not wrong" said Albert.
"Darling, you think he keeps on, anyway?" ghina Protest.
Albert spoke to his wife softly. She knew, Ella would not be comfortable living with him, with their current status change.
"Maybe there are many memories that cannot be left behind. Memories of his childhood, memories of his father. Ella will be able to stay at our house. Isn't that right, La?" Albert looked at Ella with a smile.
"Yeah. This house holds a lot of memories between me and my father," Ella replied as she rolled her eyeballs.
"You're lying, right? You always talk stammering and look away when you're lying" Ghina said.
"No, Ma. I haven't been able to move in from this house. The house is also close to the school" Ella said.
"really? Not because you want to be free to play and smoke with your friends?" ghina.
"Ma, I don't smoke. And I will prove my seriousness with achievement" Ella replied firmly.
"No. Mama still won't allow it" replied Ghina.
"Don't be forced, Ghina. Our daughter is not a child anymore" Albert said.
"Our daughter? Emang really. But how come you heard it. Very smoothly he said, "the inner Ella was increasingly unable to see the closeness of Albert and his mother.
"Huh, yeah already. How you gonna do it again? You're stubborn, anyway," Ghina relented. "Promise, yeah. You should be able to take care of yourself. Don't fuck around here. Especially bring a male friend" added Ghina.
"Yes, Ma. I-i promise. I don't have any male friends anyway" Ella said.
"Ehem! The feeling yesterday he said a lot, deh," Albert chirped with a faint grin. Ella was wrong.
"Hmm?" Ghina gave a sharp turn to her daughter. He almost reversed his decision.
"That's a classmate, Ma," Ella said.
