Sons & Daughters

First

I opened my door, waving to my son. He returned my words with a sweet smile. His stature then disappeared in the midst of the drizzling rain that was falling slowly. Unexpectedly, I managed to honestly tell my feelings to the person I love, the Son. Even if it's too late, at least he knows my true feelings. After I closed the doorknob and turned around, I was stunned to find Reyhan talking to papa.

"Have you come home, son?" reproof papa

"Yes, pa" I said

"Sit here for a while, Reyhan wants to talk to you" exclaimed papa rising up and leaving me with Reyhan

The awkward atmosphere happened again. I can't just look him in the eye.

"Tomorrow do you have time?" reyhan told me

"So, why are you asking?"

"Tomorrow I'd like to take you to mom's grave. I want you to meet him. I hope you don't mind" Reyhan said with an expression that contained an oddity

"of course. I want to apologize and thank Aunt Willa."

"About tomorrow, what time can you go?"

"Around 5pm, after work" I replied

Reyhan then got up and stepped towards the door leaf. With a sweet smile she said "I love you so much." I then replied with a smile.

I'm sorry Reyhan. Because I can't love you. I just realized. My heart belongs to another, 10 years ago. I know, you're a good man. I'm sorry I couldn't love you.

***

Aunty I'm a Princess. Auntie still remembers me. Princess Nikita, Reyhan's little friend. Now I'm a big aunt. I'm sorry Auntie, for forgetting you. I am truly sorry for what I did before. Thank you for helping me out of that fire with your bravery, which broke through the flames to save me. I don't want to disappoint my aunt. I will live my life with passion and will always pray for my aunt. I'm so grateful for the sacrifice my aunt made for me. May the aunt be happy in nature there and accepted in her paradise.

After finishing, Reyhan stopped in front of his car and then he turned towards me.

"Aren't you hungry? we go find food first yuk. Take it easy, I'll deal," Reyhan asked

"Come, but don't you mind? I happen to want to eat somewhere a bit far from here" I asked

"Yes, let's go now."

I chose to go to a dimsum stall near the border of my city exit. This place is small, and a little narrow. But once you devour just one piece of fruit here, you will not hesitate to come eat it again. Soft skin, and plenty of stuffing will make your tongue shake. Coupled with the savory sensation mixed with spicy from the homemade sauce, will further arouse your appetite.

"You really know a good place to eat" Reyhan exclaimed as he ate the dimsum voraciously

"Yes, you know, I stopped by this stall since I was in college. From then on, I always took the time to eat at this food stall."

"After this, we go to the mall for a while yuk. You don't mind, do you?"

"It's really okay? it's afternoon already. What if tomorrow?"

"As if today alone, I beg to accompany me yes," Reyhan's eyes dimmed radiating loneliness

I nodded slowly. Actually, I'm a little weird about his attitude today. He seemed to be acting like a child. Even so, I still fulfill his request that contains peculiarities.
