Memories of First Love

Chapter 18: An unexpected encounter

💮 Happy reading, and good luck always 💮

''If my sister knew I was traveling with a man, she would have gone berserk, I don't know what Irena is saying, but she is definitely trying to melt the atmosphere. Because during the journey from home to his workplace, Mr. Bayu, the atmosphere was like being silent.

''Heah...'' Alif turned to Irena because he did not hear what Irena said.

''Hehehe... is nothing, I just said, the possibility of my brother will be red if he finds out that I am traveling with a man, ''' said Iren.

''Your brother who is leaving is yes, brother Arsen yes if not wrongly named, ''' Irena did not respond to Alif's words.

''But perhaps even worse is the anger of Hafiz's brother, Mira's sister, you know?'' (Alif nodded.) "Kak Arsen sama kak Hafiz is the right from Kindergarten to college. Although we are not blood, but his sense of responsibility as a brother can not be doubted," said Iren. Alif still faithfully listened to Irena tell her stories. Because rarely Irena can talk to him quite a lot.

"Although I am an only child, I am not at all close to my parents. Even when they were together, they put their jobs first. In comparison, maybe I'm closer to the Mira family who are like my own. What's more after my mom divorced, they're further away from me. Even so, but Papa Bayu's family is also very good to me. Like Arsen and Kenzo's brother, they think of me as their own son and brother, even though our relationship is limited to children and half-brothers."

"But after I knew the truth in the past I started to get closer to my mother even though it could be said to be too late. Because our really full togetherness is only two months away." Irena lowered her head to remember her last moments together with her mother. Alif patted Irena's shoulder gently.

''At least your mama really loves you, '' said Alif suddenly. Irena raised her head to look at Alif's expression. His gaze was straight ahead, the look in his eyes seemed to harbor a lot of sadness. During this time his mother always attach importance to ego, property and self-esteem. Never care about the feelings of his own son, what else with others. justify all means to achieve his wishes despite having to sacrifice the happiness of his own husband and son. Seeing Alif's expression, Irena said...

''Do you know Lif? Before she died, my mother once said, That a lie will make the world better. Just like anesthesia, you can live in your illusion without having to face cruel reality. So when you know the truth you will even say, Why not just tell a lie? Why even tell me the truth?'' Because sometimes living in a world of lies makes us feel happier,''

''I am sure that all mothers in this world have genuine affection for their sons and daughters, just that everyone is different in their delivery. I'm sure your mom also has her own reasons why she can behave that way, '' Irena said with a smile. Alif smiled too.

Finally the car they drive to also at his workplace, Mr. Bayu. Irena came down and immediately looked for her papa. As for Alif, he was asked to stay in the car only, because Irena said only briefly. But when he arrived inside, it was seen that Mr. Bayu was chatting with a middle-aged woman who was choosing furniture for her home.

''Iren!'' Mr. Bayu approached her when he saw Iren. The woman turned to look at Irena. How surprised the woman was when she saw him. With emotion the woman instantly slapped Irena.

THE PLAAK!!

A loud slap echoed as if filling the entire room. It hurts for sure, but Irena really doesn't know what's wrong and why Alif's mother slapped her. Yes, the woman is his mother Alif, either by chance or how. This unexpected encounter left everyone shocked.

''Why did my aunt slap me?'' Irena was really curious, why did her mother Alif look so hate her.

Iren really does not understand the purpose of his mother's speech Alif, even he does not know if Alif already has a fiancee.

''Sorry aunt, there seems to be a misunderstanding here...'' Iren said Ranty was going to slap her again. But quickly Mr. Bayu caught his hand.

''Sorry mom, there seems to be a misunderstanding here. I believe my daughter is unlikely to snatch your son from his fiancee. Because as far as I know my daughter has not had any relationship with a man lately. So you better not make a fuss and accuse my daughter, said Mr. Bayu then release his handrails.

''Princess sir Bayu? How come? As far as I know his father is not Bayu sir, '' Ranty said.

''Iren is not my daughter, but Iren is one of my children. So I hope Miss Ranty doesn't make a fuss and doesn't accuse my daughter!'' Mr. Bayu's words seemed to be a pressure for Ranty. Pak Bayu is known as the biggest furniture entrepreneur in the city. And his business has spread to other cities. Even went abroad. Ranty really didn't think Sriyana could be that lucky. For a person who could only use his gaze just to judge everything with treasures, it naturally made Ranty shocked.

Alif who was waiting for Iren in the car felt something was wrong. He got out of the car and went inside to catch up with Iren. Alif was surprised when he saw his mother inside, he also saw the baby pack hugging Irena. His cheeks look red like slap marks, even his tears wetting the ends of his eyes.

''What did mom do?'' Alif. Ranty was more surprised (Shock because it turns out his son was suddenly here too).

''Alif.....!'' Ranty shut his mouth, he really didn't think his son was here, not to mention when he found out that Irena was Bayu's stepdaughter. The most successful furniture entrepreneur in the city. In comparison, the family of Pak Bayu is richer than the family of Danisha.

''Miss Alif please take your mama away from here!'' Saying sir Bayu. Looking at her eyes, she was clearly disappointed in her mother. Alif closed his eyes for a moment, then let out a rough breath.

''Once again Alif apologized for what my mother did Uncle, sorry my mother was Ren, ''' Alif then pulled his mother to leave his workplace Pak Bayu.

''Fif! Don't pull mama, mama hasn't finished talking!'' Ranty.

''Mamaaa...''
