Levi glanced at the watch in his hand, a little more lunch break, meaning that soon the impromptu meeting was over. Since the meeting began, he just sat quietly because Vero's mom took the lead. There is something different about this meeting without an agenda. But looking at the faces sitting around the table, Levi knew this was not the first time.
Usually my mother is no longer present in internal meetings like this, it has become one of the duties of Levi, but somehow today my mother asked for a meeting, she said, highlighting and correcting many trivial things about employee behavior and habits. Mami even angry about polite and greetings that change, among others, about the call 'boss' to the vice president.
Levi never objected to Gerald's custom of calling it and it later became the way many employees greeted Levi. Hearing mami question and relate that politely, she disagrees but does not want to embarrass mami by refuting her. Levi was silent. Inwardly she knew she was angry with him, possibly in touch with her chosen secretary.
Meeting's over, mami's face is still murky. Stepping out past Levi without a smile or reprimand. Levi followed the mother not knowing what to behave like. Unlike other children who can spoil, persuade or seduce or at least ask what is, or just to inform something. There is never any attitude or expression of affection. Even for an extremely faint attention wrapped in a command sentence.
Since yesterday it has been seen the anger of Vero's mother. When she returned home, she did not return her greeting and Okta met in front of the elevator.
The meeting room is on the 16th floor, Levi follows the mami to the elevator to return to his room. He wanted to talk to mom about the contents of the meeting earlier but the sentence was stuck by the throat. The two of them remained silent despite walking close together. Moments before reaching the door of his room mami made a sound...
"To my mom's room, Andre..."
"Eh. yeah..."
In the white-gold room Levi took a seat in a chair by the glass wall, looking down at the highway that looked very crowded with vehicles from up here. She was in the toilet and had been there for a long time. Her stomach was beeping for stuffing, but my mother told her to come means something important. Mami went out and immediately sat down at the dining table near a small pantry in one corner of the luxury office room. There's food on the table.
"Andre.. eat."
Levi was stunned to look at mami from a good distance because the room that became the heart of this company was so spacious. Not expecting mami will invite to eat in a soft tone but still authoritative, considering the look of the face of the mother before entering the toilet so haunted. Did he misinterpret...
Levi approached while continuing to look at the mother who was preparing the plate next to him.
"The fire is almost there, you go first. Mami wait for papi."
Sitting in a million senses has not been able to digest what temporarily happened.Mami who a few hours ago was full of anger and partly addressed to him despite not mentioning his name. And now sit quietly as if nothing happened. My mom is good at storing emotions. He was used to seeing mami without a smile, different from papi just the opposite.
"Just like, rarely do we eat three..."
Levi and Mami looked at each other after that sentence. The sweet smile Levi gave to the woman who had given birth to him although rarely touched him. Mami is seen breathing in and turning her eyes towards the door. Within a few minutes they were silent until the door opened later...
"Eat already?"
Papi hurriedly approached the two of them...
"Not yet pi.. wait papi let it be together..."
Papi sits next to the mami and lands a kiss on the left temple of the mami. The unexpected mother was a little aghast but in an instant the expression instantly changed. Levi smiled looking at his parents. Paying attention to the two alternately.something he had just done now, fixedly staring at the two people who were so precious in his life. It felt like there was cold water that soaked his old heart did not feel the water of a mother's affection.
Mami took the rice and its completeness to papi, while the eyes of Levi caught the hand of papi moving up and down stroking the back of mami. Although flat the face of the mother but Levi know there is a hint of warmth in the face that is still awake beauty. The heart of Levi warmed. For years there had never been a moment like this, he realized partly because he himself was drifting away.
"Eat Andre. don't daydream..."
Mother's voice resuscitated her and the plate that had been filled brought closer to her.
"Thank you mi..."
After giving thanks, Levi ate with greed, as usual papi will not eat with silence, there is a story even occasionally act friendly feed a spoonful of food instead of asking mami tasting.
Happiness can come unexpectedly like today's moment. Although it begins with a big boss who piqued his frustration to his own son, but then there is the most luxurious lunch in the life of a Levite Andrean, three with his parents. Mommy's love is often invisible but it's still there. Levi is sometimes selfish when evidence is everywhere.
Papi often shows him, today he understands the different ways of mami in loving him, and he also has the love of a girl who keeps his heart as a man, the love of a Kharis...
Levi remembered something. He glanced at the watch, he had to leave now.
"Mommy.Thank you, lunch is good, often like this I don't mind. ya don't pi..."
Levi found a mami smile for him, and there was a hue that emanated on that white face, which he always saw on his girl's face when he was happy... The strong impulse in the heart made Levi stand, the bulkhead in his heart came off and he did something he missed....
"I love my mom..."
Levi took off his embrace and immediately came out without looking again. His eyes were wet but his heart was plong. He will not demand anymore now he must show to the mother of love.
In the room, my mother was sobbing in the arms of papi. She did not expect to be treated warmly by her baby. He was angry at his son's attitude and had to overturn his decision about the secretary of Levi.
But she couldn't cancel the lunch she had planned the day before, and her husband had left time for this day.
Something had just happened between him and his son, making all his anger evaporate...
