...ADRIAN...
Today I'm going to visit my parents' house. As I promised my sisters before me, I will spend this weekend with them.
Actually I'm still upset with Fiona because of her words yesterday, but want how else.I've already promised, with forced to keep coming there. Remember, that guy's holding his shit!
Come to think of it, I have not been to Papa and Mama's house for a long time, the last time I met about 3 months ago at the Natadipura Group Company anniversary event.
Although she rarely met, she almost never missed calling me every day. Mama was very active asking me how I was doing, what I was eating, if I was healthy. Maybe for mama, I'm like Arjuna or Arga who still likes to be pampered.
I don't really like family gatherings. When there are important events held such as birthday parties, inauguration parties, proposals, nuptials, etc.I almost never come. The reason is simple, because I don't like crowds.
I am very disturbed and I like to see a lot of people. If they come too, they will definitely immediately search me with the question 'When to get married?', annoying right?
And I have always asserted to them many times, that I will never marry and do not want to have children. Do they not understand language? Not to mention the guests who attended liked the insignificance and sought attention, making me feel uncomfortable.
When I have free time, I prefer to spend it alone. Like playing archery, riding, boxing, or playing football. It was more exciting than attending useless lavish parties or celebrations.
Not long ago I also deliberately studied various kinds of musical instruments. Drumming and Piano are examples. It's a little random, but somehow I want to. I was so excited to take an online course...
When I was parking my car in the yard, from the window of the car I could see that my mom and dad were waiting for me on the porch. It seemed like they were indeed impatient to meet me, until martial arts stood on the terrace.
"Hi, dear Adrian.the handsome son of Mama has finally come!" Mama immediately ran to hug me who was just a step out of the car.
"Hello Mah, how are you?" I replied while returning Mama's embrace and peeping her cheeks.
"Mama and Papa here are fine, Mama Seneng finally you come to visit. I haven't seen you in a long time, Mama's a miss." If this is the case, Mama will begin to play with ria while shedding her tears. Her name is also a woman, let alone a mother.visible emotional and crying if again touched.
Seeing Mama who started crying, Papa came to us. But instead Mama tightened her embrace on me, as if she didn't want to take it off.
"Yet you remember the same house as Papa and Mama! Papa thinks you have forgotten these two old adults" said Papa, who insinuated me subtly.
"Hello Pah?! Sorry Adrian can only come now.yesterday I was busy." I replied to Papa with a faint smile.
"Alagain work! Even though you are already successful, already have everything.once rest dong son, do not be suspended. Live only once, wisdom! Don't work.work.work continues!" Papa.
"And I ran out of Spain yesterday, that includes holidays for me Pah" I replied casually.
Papa who looks unsatisfied with my answer finally attacked me again, "Kayak is like a vacation! Don't lie, papa knows you're not there for a vacation, but monitor the development of your latest hotel construction project right!"
This is the picture that happens when I go home, papa immediately issued his death advice.
"Again Pah.whatever it is, the important thing is I've been walking! On the other hand I attended my college wedding party right in London, he rented a nice resort in Barcelona" I explained at length to Papa.
"If you're alone, when's the wedding?"
DEGHHHH.....
I was shocked to hear Papa's question. Not only me, apparently Mama was also surprised. I saw Mama pat Papa's arm violently like she was hinting at something.
The tension between me and Papa began to feel, the atmosphere that had been warm became gripping. I am very sensitive when I hear about marriage. If only humans did not need to marry in this world, my life would be calm.
Mama who noticed my strange gawking attitude began to try to melt the atmosphere and divert the subject. "What the hell is this papa saying! The new kid came home already wondering about it.biarin Adrian enter first."
"Papa apologize if your words offend you. Papa didn't mean badly to Adrian, it's just..Papa would love to see you happy. Married to the person you love, have children.Papa and Mama's house must be crowded because of the presence of grandchildren."
I could see Papa's sincerity clearly visible from the look in his eyes. But still, I couldn't grant her that one request.
"Yes, we entered first, even linger outside the gini! Today Mama Masakin you special food to welcome your arrival at home. Come baby.."
Mama took my hand and passed papa just like that. Papa could only shake his head to look at the mama who pulled my arm quickly.
How lucky I am to have parents who love me for who I am, even though we are not so close. From childhood, the two of them always tried to meet all my needs and desires. Although I prefer to do everything myself without their intervention. When they offer help, I often refuse them outright.
It's not their fault I became this kind of person. It was I who pulled myself away from my family. I've been let down by the past that still leaves scars.
The trauma of what happened 20 years ago still haunts me every night. Therefore, to prevent the same from happening later in life, I deliberately limit myself by not wanting to be attached to anyone. Living independently and not depending on anyone is better.
Maybe this sounds weird and you'll think I'm a self-informed kid. I've been given a lot of attention and affection, but I'm still apathetic. That's a fact, but I'm not as bad as you think. I still love both my parents and my sisters, in my own way.
I'm not a child born from Mama Diana's womb. But somehow, my mom loves me. Even his affection for me outweighed his affection for my sisters, his own biological children.
The fact that Mama Diana was just my mother, did not stop her steps to shower me with all the love and affection.
Sometimes I think, is Mama sincere with me or just feeling sorry for my past? A child wasted by his birth mother.
But one thing is for sure, Mama Diana is not the stepmother that people out there often describe as cruel and inhuman. It would be a lie if I said I couldn't feel sincerity from her.
After entering the living room, Mama shouted to my sisters who were still on the second floor to go downstairs.
"Arjuna, Arga, Athena, Fiona.get down baby, this is Brother Ian coming!" shouting mama. This is the condition if you have many children, so ribet himself call one-on-one. Fortunately I won't have any offspring in the future.
"Yes ma.But we're going down!" sahut Arga's.
One by one, my brothers began to be seen coming down the stairs. They ran around and immediately rushed at me with a tight hug while hanging spoiled in my arms.
"Ouch.lepasin! The three of you are heavy, brother so breathless!"
"Sorry brother, we are too excited to know that brother came.It turns out that Brother Ian made his promise yesterday." said Arga.
"When did you ever break a promise? This brother brought souvenirs from Barcelona, yesterday fitting you to the house brother forgot your love for not having time to open the suitcase." I gave them what I had prepared from home.
"Thank you, Brother Ian!!" my brothers answered in unison.
"Darling, you're okay, right? Papa's talk that was not heard yes.papa and mama will still love you no matter what happens."
Suddenly Mama appeared behind me. Mama was quite sensitive to see the tension in my face from earlier because of my conversation with Papa in the yard. Even my hands are still cold sweat until now.
"I'm fine ma, no need to worry!"
(I'm fine ma, no need to worry)
Half-believing in disbelief, mom nodded her head and stroked my arm slowly.
When Mama and the sisters were busy opening my gift in the living room, I felt something was awkward. My little sister, Fiona! I just realized I haven't seen him since. Where is the kid?
