Pursuing the Love of the Widower

Regret And Love

Finished shopping for lingerie for Chand, Kalini invites Gendhis and his eldest son to relax for a while at a cafe, which is not far from the boutique. Just now that the three people were sitting in one corner of the cafe, Kalini had already been summoned by a woman of her age.

The woman who seemed to be one of Kalini's friends called Chand's mother to chat at her desk. “You wait a minute, yes,” said Kalini as he moved closer to his social friend's desk. It didn't take long for the middle-aged woman to have an exciting conversation.

“I was astonished, same you,” chirped Gendhis after a moment of silence.

“Reason why?” Chand scrunched his forehead while looking fixedly at Gendhis.

“You want to be done with Aunt Kalini, invited to the boutique, continue to be humiliated in front of me,” Gendhis giggled amusedly considering the incident that just happened.

“Mama seems dissatisfied if you do not humiliate me every day,” Chand laughs at the pity of his mother.

“You are also very similar Aunt Kalini. But you can refuse. You must be a mama's boy, yes,” terka Gendhis.

“For those who judge at a glance, maybe I look like a mama's son. I never refused my mother's wishes. As much as possible I have to make mama happy and not feel disappointed,” said Chand. At that moment his face turned a little gloomy.

Chand briefly paused his explanation when a cafe waiter came to bring them a menu book. After they wrote the order and gave it back to the waiter, Chand resumed his story.

“After papa left suddenly, Mama like losing the spirit of life. Half his soul went with papa. Mama who is usually cheerful, turned into a shy and more confined in the room,” explained Chand. “Especially after learning that my marriage with Ghea could not be maintained, Mama increasingly closed herself,” he added.

“It feels hard to see mom lose her smile. I feel very guilty and responsible for all the changes in his attitude. Because I was wrong in making choices that ended in divorce, my life became full of sadness,” said Chand with eyes glaring. Sometimes he turned to Kalini who was busy gossiping with his friends.

“Since that time, I was determined to do whatever it took for my mom to come back cheerful and happy. Including one of them is to comply with all his wishes, although not infrequently his wishes even humiliate me, as before,” Chand who initially set his eyes on the mother, and his mother, now he turned to Gendhis while smiling faintly.

“Chand ...” Gendhis looked compassionately at the handsome widower who used to drive him crazy.

“Losing someone is painful, Dhis. Especially if you never get to meet that person again. Death is the worst parting,” chanted Chand's voice. His eyes glared back towards the surface of the cafe table.

“Mama's love for papa is so great that you are never interested in remarrying, or just being close to another man. Even until this moment, mama is still found staring at papa's photo in a long time,” continued Chand.

“I wonder what it feels like to be loved so deeply by a woman,” Chand chuckles softly, then looks down.

“Ah, time, anyway?” sahut Gendhis did not believe it while grabbing a glass of orange juice that was still on the tray of the cafe waiter. The waiter had just placed the orders on the table.

Gendhis sipped orange juice with a straw until his voice pierced Chand's ear. Gendhis also played block-shaped ice cubes that floated on the surface of the yellow drink.

“You didn't give me a chance to prove it,” said Gendhis. “Nothing yet, you rejected me first. You also dropped my pride and papa. Not only that, you even dropped the dignity of the family of Mr. Susena Suwardana. Lucky at that time my papa was a bit silly because I was crazy about Aunt Kalini. Try if he was in a normal position, you must have slapped him,” continued Gendhis while sipping his juice until half a glass remains.

“Crust or not. That's also one of the things I regret,” timpal Chand. “After you learned that I was the one who ruined Manggala's relationship with Ghea, I became fully aware that everyone would never escape imperfection.”

Chand exhales slowly before reaching for his ordered coffee. “I always look down on the shortcomings of others. Whereas without me knowing, it turns out I also have flaws and mistakes that are much bigger.”

“Ah, stop. No need to apologize. It's all over. I also forgot about the incident. During this ... Manggala ... di-dia ...” Gendhis. The shadow of Manggala came back and filled the space of his mind. “The one that restored my happiness and self-confidence,” he continued a while later.

“Manggala is a very nice person, but I wasted it. I refused just because he had one mistake in the past. Now I realize, there is no human being who has no faults. But it's too late, Chand. Manggala is gone. I can't see him anymore,” subconsciously, Genphis expresses all her feelings.

Unknowingly, Gendhis cried a little while clutching the sturdy body of the man before him, then hugging him tightly. Her tears flowed profusely down Chand's white shirt.

Chand looked stiff and misbehaved as both of Gendhis hands coiled tightly around his waist. “Dhis, Patience, Dhis,” Chand stamped. Hesitating his hand was about to rub the tops of Gendhis's head. While the girl was comfortable immersing her face in the chest of Chand's field while crying as she pleased.

“I love Manggala, Chand. I love her so much. Unfortunately, I realized too late,” regretted Gendhis. A short sentence that turned out to be able to incise a speck of pain in Chand's heart.

“The regret is free, Dhis. It can not make you go anywhere,” Chand finally ventured to caress the top of the head of Gendhis.

“To go back to the past is impossible. The only way is to face everything with your chin raised. Make regret a life experience that will prevent us from making the same mistakes later in life,”.

Gendhis and Chand were unaware that Kalini and his friends, who were sitting not far from their table, were watching the sweet scene. “Oh, so that's yes, your son-in-law's candidate?” ask one of Kalini's friends.

“Yes, pray, yes,” smile Kalini expands. The parasites are getting beautiful and radiant. "I went back to my desk first,” his goodbye while gently patting his social friend's arm.

“Wah, wow, what is this? How come you suddenly have a hug?” goda Kalini while dragging a chair that was on the table Chand and Gendhis.

Genphis quickly regained consciousness. He hurriedly unraveled his embrace from Chand. “Gosh, forgive me, Auntie. Suddenly I was a baper. Don't know why,” said Gendhis while busy wiping Chand's shirt that had been stained by tears mixed with snot.

“You should apologize to me, Dhis,” protest Chand. “Kan my shirt that you kotori.”

“Nak,” Kalini gently caressed the back of Gendhis hand. “From now on, don't call Auntie, yes,” the door.

“Then, call what dong?” ask gendhis innocently.

“Call mama only,” replied Kalini accompanied by a big smile.
