Reaching Dreams

Bonchap

Rio was smiling looking at the reflection of himself in the mirror. She was twenty-seven years old, but she was still unmarried. All his close friends have carried children, while he should not have a wife let alone children. Not just having a boyfriend.

The mother had often asked him to get married, even he also introduced Rio with some of his friends' children. But none of them could melt Rio's heart. It was as if Rio's heart was made of a rock mountain.

"If only I had dared to express my heart. Maybe we are happy together now. However, I am happy enough to see you happy. May you always be happy with her."

Get rid of the smile engraved on Rio's lips. He was deeply tormented by love in his silence. Every day he could only make sure the woman he loved so much was in a happy state.

"Ara, here's Uncle's sling!" rio said as he reached out to the seven-month-old girl.

Ara is the sister of twins, the son of a close friend of Rio. Ara was born when twins were five years old.

The little girl hid her face in the neck of her father, Frans.

"Heheh! Shame on him, Yo. Later would want to, Lo'll know for yourself how this child," said Frans when he saw the disappointed face of his friend.

"I miss the same boy!" sahut Rio pouted.

"Everything, a piece of marriage continues to have many children so as not to be lonely!" rahma chirps who walked over to them, carrying a tray filled with syrup and snacks.

"It's easy by the way!"

"I'm not just talking. There's proof, noh!"

"Believe!" rio dongkol.

"Haha!" Frans laughed when he saw his wife and friend arguing. It was definitely his wife who came out victorious.

Soon after, Vani arrives with her two children.

"Hi, you guys have been a while? Sorry.." said Vani pretending to be sad for being late.

"No need to put on a face if it's just a skit!" cibir Rahma who can see clearly the drama played by Vani.

"Yes, caught! I want an Oscar too."

"Select, lebai!" Replace Rio who sneered at Vani while throwing beans at Vani.

"But!"

"You two if you meet never fight. Udeh then, we fight, yuk!" said Rahma, whose end was pitting them.

"Huh?" rio and Vani Kompak.

"You two are compact, right? It's always the same!" ledek Rahma's.

When Rahma mocked her two friends baby Ara cried because of sleepiness.

"Darling, it looks like baby Ara is sleepy. It has been yawning ever since!'' frans said while trying to calm baby Ara, but the results are nil.

Finally Rahma took baby Ara from her husband's arms.

"Sorry, yes! I stayed for a while." said Rahma as she left the room.

"Look out!"

Frans, Rio and Vani get together as Rahma puts baby Ara to sleep in her room. Twins play with both of Vani's children.

Rio came home at night already greeting. The tall man looked like a lot of thoughts. Just called her, asking when to get married. He wanted to scream so as not to interfere with his personal problems. But he cannot fight Mother.

"Hhh... When do I go to Gini? Should I go home and live with my mom?" monologue Rio.

Since college, Rio rarely visited his mother in his hometown. Especially since work he increasingly does not have time to visit the mother.

"If I resign, will Frans not be angry? Huh...why do I have to think about Frans? I should've thought more about your feelings instead of Frans's. He'll still have a trustworthy member."

Rio steadied his heart to resign and return to his hometown. He chose to accompany his mother in her old age. However, as a child, he wanted to be devoted to parents.

The next day...

"Don't you really, you want to resign? It's not easy to find a job!" frans asked as Rio said he wanted to resign.

"Gue's done, Bro! Poor mother herself there. He does not want to be invited here. So I better get home. Rejeki will never be exchanged." Rio replied steadily.

"After that! Good luck to you in our hometown." said Frans finally.

He could understand Rio's current position, so he granted Rio's resignation request.

Rio finally said goodbye to all the employees he knew in the company. Not to forget he also said goodbye to Rahma and Vani.
