PRISONER OF LOVE LOVE THE WIDOWER

Part 22's. Peace with the Situation 1

Make your Mom and Dad happy. That's enough. Koko doesn't need a reply.

I don't know why those words were ringing in my head from last night. Thinking of Mama's happiness, I knew that one of Mama's wishes saw me not hating Uncle Lam anymore, and called her Papa. I must make peace with my mother's wishes. Mama was happy all this time, I never heard her complain, or I never heard her blame the situation, she was at peace with the situation, maybe I thought she was unhappy.

Mama was done cooking when I came out that morning, she did like to get up early, make something for us, was trying her own cooking. He seemed fine, except he had always tried to drag me to meet Uncle Lam, making me reconcile, but could not until now. They parted because it was not a sad thing, when Mama decided she would not accept another. How's she feel... I ended up adding to his mind because I did not accept the presence of anyone who meant anything to him.

All this time maybe I made Mama sad.

“Ma..”

“Ehm, are you hungry Ta? Eat first.”

“Mama, if Mama wants to see Papa I want to come..” For the first time I called Uncle Lam Papa. He was silent for a moment when he realized who I called.

“You're serious? Papa must be happy..” He held my hand and I nodded. A tear flowed from his eyes. Is he that happy. I smiled to feel his happiness, somehow I feel like a useful child now.  “Papa phone name for a minute. Okay, you eat a lot ya.”

He went to his room, somehow I think he and Papa are going to be crying there. I never realized this, they were separated by circumstances but they stayed together, even stronger because they never expected much from each other.

“Ta, Papa wants to talk.” He finally came out this time with a cell phone with him. I accepted it with doubt. Mama put it in my hand. “Call Papa..” He sat in front of me now with a smile of hope.

“Hallo..” But my tongue still says it.

“Tata.”

“Papa.. how is it going.” The first word I said to him. There was no answer there, and Mama just threw her tears in front of me. I think Papa was also there, maybe all this time I've sinned to make these two people so sad.

“Papa good. Very well... Howareyou? You don't work?”

“Ehm, not this Sunday. But maybe next week a lot of overtime, because there are two that must be watched, papa's tire ad ad ad is Ko Derrick.” I talked all that time, wanting to sound ordinary but somehow my own tears rolled. It felt like all the burden was lifted, I don't know what happened, but it was a great relief.

“Sorry Tata has made Mama and Papa sad.” Mama stroked my hair when I told her that.

“No, Papa deserves the blame. But Papa is happy that you can forgive Papa who cannot be by your side.” Papa can only do it with words.

“Ga pa pa Tata. Don't cry anymore..”

“Mama by nangis.” Mama wiped my tears away but she herself still continued to cry. He chuckled a little later, Papa who might be able to hear what happened came into a small laugh. For a moment we cried and laughed and couldn't say anything.

“You want to go to Hong Kong? Papa can arrange tickets for you and Mama. Meet family here, they also want to meet you.”

“Maybe later Pa, if the work is done now must design deadline.”

“Ohh yes, you have to do the job. Take care of your health when you work a lot. Then later Papa find time to get there, later if there is a long holiday you to HK same Mama.”

“Iya can.”

“Nyalain loudspeaker. Mama also wants you guys to say what.” Now Mama is beaming her face.

“I said I'd like to send you tickets to HK.”

“Which can, this workman is very busy. Replace him if he's done we're there on vacation. Two more months there will be a mid-year vacation. Yes Ta, you want it..” We had a long chat that afternoon, Mama couldn't hide her happiness. I was also happy to make him look so happy.

We made peace, at least I can accept Mama's wish.

“Mama it wants you not a kara. You have a family, although Mama was not accepted into the Papa family, but you but your son, have a blood relationship. Papa's wife who now knew from the beginning Papa had a child in Jakarta, Mama met him several times, he was a good person, accepted you. Because you are Papa's son, he also does not want Papa you do not admit children. That's just an Affection, now you know what Mama.” means

“Sorry Ma.”
