Skylar And The Lecturer
25
"What made Papa fall in love and choose to marry Mama first?"
The question posed by Skylar immediately stopped the activities of Papa Lucas who was enjoying his breakfast.
Holding the middle-aged man, his brain's gray cells began to rotate the beautiful memory when he first met the idol who until this moment was still faithful in the depths of his heart.
"She's a very nice woman, son. He accompanied Papa since this self has not become anything even then Papa is still often a subject of ridicule because Papa is just a model with little income," Papa Lucas began his story, and the story was, remembering that happy past.
Skylar listened patiently, waiting for the continuation of the story of the Papa while enjoying the food.
"Even your own grandfather opposed your Mama's desire to choose Papa as her husband on the grounds of Papa's unstable economic conditions to support your Mama."
Papa Lucas looked straight at the child just his way. "but we did not give up, Papa started participating in large world-level model contests and won several of them which made Papa finally have enough money to hold a wedding and buy a house."
"Did Mama and Papa directly buy the house we live in now?"
Papa Lucas shook his head. "no, we used to buy a small house downtown after getting married. Papa started his business with support and input from Mama until finally the company became this big."
"When he decided to marry Papa, he was just a 22-year-old girl who was still so sincere and innocent. He even rejected a richer man just for the sake of marrying a man with mediocre money like your Papa,"
"That's the power of love, Pa," Skylar smiled, able to imagine how much love there was between her parents.
Papa Lucas rests his back on the back of the chair with a straight look. "if there is a good man who proposes to you do not think long to accept it. rich men can promise you nothing but material things but good men are willing to give it all for you."

"Later tonight we'll have dinner with the Ririn family, clear all your schedules for tonight," Mother's orders are absolute make Teon immediately stop the activities of playing console games with Jeno.
"Don't start, Mother," complained Teon who has begun to meditate with the attitude of Mother lately who increasingly bitterly match herself with Ririn.
"Mother just picked the best woman for you, Teon. Ririn is much better than that obscure woman of your choice" Mother in a high voice expressed her opinion making Teon try to control her emotions.
"Before choosing Ririn just because she is the child of her friend Mother does Mommy know that the woman is a person who can even take away the life of her own flesh blood?" challenge Teon who has stood up from his seat.
"Did Mommy also know the fact that Ririn and I had a relationship until finally she had an affair with another man to get pregnant out of wedlock?"
Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Mother was stunned to hear all the facts revealed by Teon - because she knew very well that her son never spoke carelessly before having concrete evidence.
"Ririn is a highly educated woman but she is an amoral person so why would I marry such a woman?" teon said firmly clarify the reason why he strongly opposed the Mother for this time.
"I'll just marry a fine woman of my own choice, remember that's fine, Mother."
After finishing his sentence Teon then sauntered away with a dead red face inexhaustible if Mother until the heart forced her will without thinking about her feelings first. Teon steps so quickly to his room, takes a big bag from there and then out of the house without caring for the call from Mother.
"I've said many times to Mother," said Jeno who then rose from her seat. "I know your age has indeed entered the ideal age for marriage but marriage is not a race that must always be synchronized and he already has a woman of his own choice, he has the right to determine his own life path, Mother."
The youngest then inched into her room letting the Mother think about what she said just now.
Jeno knows very well Teon is a fine man who always knows what he has to do and what consequences he will receive from the path he chooses.
The black and white room decorated by various action figure collections welcomed the arrival of the owner, making Jeno take a deep breath - he thought of going where Teon with a big bag so.

"Why are you carrying such a big bag just to take me for a walk?"
The silence in the car that enveloped Skylar and Teon was finally broken by the girl.
Skylar is surprised that Teon suddenly invites him to go outside without an appointment before he is lucky that the girl is not having an appointment with someone else.
"There is no particular reason" Teon said with a faint laugh after noticing Skylar's gaze leading to the passenger seat of his car.
Seeing Teon's much different facial features Skylar clearly did not immediately believe especially the beautiful face of the man seemed a little tense making Skylar so curious about what happened to the man.
"Mass?" Skylar called out in a voice so subtle that Teon instantly shifted his attention.
"Yes?"
"I know you're hiding something please don't try to lie to me" the girl added, noticing the traffic light turning red.
Striking the man then. "I won't be going home the next few days."
Skylar was obviously shocked not to be confused because from what he knew the Teon family was a very harmonious family even though it already did not have a father figure in it.
"I had a fight with Mommy because of something and it made me feel uncomfortable at home" Teon said frankly after his car drove back through the traffic lights.
"You're fighting with a woman you respect so much, how can you?"
This fact was beyond Skylar's expectations that a man who respected his mother as much as Teon could argue like this.
"As you know, I have great respect and affection for my mother, but this really hurt my heart and my self-esteem as a man."
"If I may know, what makes you and him involved in the difference of understanding?"
"She betrothed me to someone without asking for my first approval."
