Sons & Daughters

Sons & Daughters
The taste remains the same



I feel like a strange creature has been constantly caressing my head ever since. I opened my eyes slowly and was surprised to see the Son who had fallen asleep beside me. I must have fallen asleep because I was tired of crying. To my shame, I cried before the Son.


"It has stopped crying" said the Son, looking at me with a look of ignorance


My eyes rounded and started pounding his shoulders hard "You deliberately yes, why not wake me up earlier."


"Sleeping is really good. I'm like a baby, I don't have the heart to wake up," he said innocently without sin


"That's why you, I'm telling you."


"I really know. Who was crying all the time until I finally slept on my shoulder."


Deg, I then covered my flushed face remembering my behavior just now. The son then teased me and laughed cheerfully.


"You're! still a bummer" I said while punching his shoulder lightly


"Even if you still love nyebelin, right?"


"Ah ah ah, do not tease me constantly," I said to the Son with a little laugh.


"Well, your daughter is not fit to cry."


I looked at the face of the Son who was exposed to the reflection of the light of the garden. Her laugh and beautiful smile were so tempting. Only then did I realize that the Son deliberately did this to take away my sorrow.


I tried to make my best smile as beautiful as possible for this man in front of me. As I tried to get out a sentence to break the mood, the Son held my head


"You are ugly know. If crying later is not ugly anymore but ugly," cried the Son while running away from the park


We both drowned in excitement. The light of the full moon and the stars in the sky tonight is as if to bear witness, that the Son is a man who always understands and is able to make me forget my problems.


"It's a little crazy, right" I said


"I'm sorry, Riri" The son laughed and tried to let go of my grip on his jacket, then he said...


"Well, it's not sad anymore, is it? It's almost midnight now, good night, yeah, don't cry on."


I just realized that my son was running towards my house. But before he left, he put his jacket back on my body.


"I don't want you to get sick from the cold. Just put on my jacket."


"Keep you how? it will be you who are sick" I said while looking at his face


"I'm a man, not as sick as you are."


"Based on arrogance," I turned my head and intended to open the door, that's when someone grabbed my arm and suddenly gently slapped my forehead.


"Don't be sad anymore. Riri," said the son while stroking my hair


Ughhhh... Why do you look so handsome tonight. The fragrance of the Son's perfume, his sturdy shoulders, and his soft lips that landed on my forehead made me now intoxicated. As she slowly disappeared between the darkness of the night, I felt my heart stir. I had thought, after Putra betrayed his promise he would definitely become a different figure. But I was wrong, the Son is still the Son. Even though the appearance has changed, the content remains the same. Best friend I have. Who always understood me. The first man to declare his love for me directly. But why can't I love you and choose someone else.


"I'm sorry, because I'm a stupid woman for not realizing the sincerity of your love" I murmured softly.
