Restore Your Smile

A Stunning Morning

The train arrived in City B at 05:15. James then ordered a taxi online to take them to his house. About 30 minutes later, they arrived home.

Papa Heru and Mama Ratna had been waiting for James' arrival from 05:00. It appears that they are restless and sleep deprived. Maybe last night they did not sleep well, due to worry about the behavior of their youngest child.

"Pa .... Ma ...." James greeted his parents when he confronted them.

"Yes .... Come on in first, talk later. Come on, you too .... What's name?" mama Ratna asked while holding Celine's hand.

"Celine, Ma, " replied James.

"Yes, come on Celine, come in first, " said Mama Ratna leading the party to enter the house.

Arriving inside, Mama Ratna immediately invited Celine to James's former room, which Celine would use next. While James, after bringing Celine's blue suitcase to his room, he sat in the living room. There Papa Heru was already sitting relaxed while enjoying his coffee.

James was tense because Papa Heru was silent. He waited only for when his father would begin the trial.

Not long after, Mama Ratna came out with Celine from her room, and joined them.

"So now you want to have breakfast or take a shower first?" mama Ratna asked the two of them.

"The one who takes a shower!" Alex, who had just left the room, answered.

Everyone can understand because Papa Heru and Alex will leave for work at 07:00. On the other hand, the bathroom in this house only has one. So for the schedule of bathroom usage must be arranged according to the needs and priorities of the residents of the house.

"Yes, then you drink this first to be warm. All night on the train, it's cold, right?" mama Ratna said as she offered two cups of warm sweet tea to James and Celine.

Papa Heru and Mama Ratna were stunned to see their son's strange behavior. James doesn't usually behave like that, especially to a girl.

After Celine slowly lifted the cup to her lips, James picked up her own cup of tea. Hmmm .... Warmly ....

At 06:15, all family members gathered at the dinner table and enjoyed breakfast. This morning's breakfast menu is fried rice made by Mama Ratna.

James' behavior is almost the same as before, but this time gripping a spoon and fork in Celine's hand, attracting the attention of his other family. Moreover, Celine's attitude is flat, which has never been voiced since her arrival in this house.

They realize there's a gaffe here. But they just looked at each other, with no one trying to open their voices to discuss it.

After breakfast, Papa Heru and Alex go to their respective rooms to get ready for work. Papa Heru will go to a Faculty of Engineering to teach, while Alex will go to a company as a Marketing Manager.

Papa Heru came out of his room with a neat appearance. After putting on his shoes, Papa Heru said to James, "We'll talk later tonight." Then, Papa Heru left the house with his car.

Shortly after, Alex's turn came out of his room. As with Papa Heru, before leaving, he took the time to say to James, "Ready! The cave will hold you accountable!" Then go with his service car.

Okay .... It turned out that his trial was postponed until later tonight, James heaved a sigh of relief. This means he still has time to prepare his heart and look for defenders, who are none other than his mother.

Let's take Mama's heart ! James exclaimed inwardly with a grin on his face.
