Stuck On You's

About the Ring

Jakarta, Julian Pratomo's House

Everyone has their favorite place to relax. Some see twilight, some travel whether it is in the mountains, sea or other tourist attractions. But there are also those who cry. Maybe he was carrying a vehicle, before going to bed quietly crying in a dark and quiet place and hearing music that can calm and relieve.But not with a Richard, he prefers to calm down by worshiping. Whenever and wherever he was, it was always a relief.

It's been two weeks since Richard was discharged from the hospital. For two weeks he spent his time at home. The furthest journey is his home page. As he now sits on a chair overlooking Joana's flower garden. Richard has repeatedly tried to remember the events that occurred over the past two years, but he still cannot remember them. In fact, he was unconscious many times because it was too forcing to remember him.

"Bang Richard..," called Della who was already standing next to him.

"Yes, Del. Already home from school?' ask Richard.

"Yes, Bang. Called papa tuh, it seems there is something you want to talk about" said Della.

"Where's papa?" richard asked as he stood up and embraced Della while walking.

"In gazebo. Ih, Bang Richard don't press my rich head that dong." Della thrashed as Richard pressed his sister's head with his big hand.

"Let's fast high, Del." Richard pressed his sister's head back.

"It's not fast high, Bang. But make it shorter to know." Della tries to throw Richard's hand off his head. Richard looks happy to judge Della, the voices of the two brothers sound loud to the ears of his mother, Joana.

"Richard, papa you're waiting for me." Joana with a special tone of mothers.

Richard immediately stopped judging Della when he heard her mother's voice, "Yes, Ma." Richard immediately left after pressing Della's head a glance.

"Hush." Della with her hands like throwing a chicken away. Joana just chuckles funny looking at the behavior of her two children.

Richard walked to the pool where Julian was. Julian is seen enjoying a cup of coffee with a magazine in his hand. Richard looked at his watch, "It's four o'clock, it's worth Papa's afternoon coffee." Richard sped up his steps and threw his body over the gazebo.

"How are you doing now?" julian asked while sipping his coffee.

"Is there a shadow or is it possible to remember something lately?' julian asked and placed the magazine he was holding next to his coffee cup.

"No, Pa. The more I remember it makes my head woozy" Richard replied.

Julian nodded his head, "Don't force it, let you slowly remember it."

"Yes, Pa. Mama says anyone wants to talk?" Richard asked and looked at Julian's face.

Julian took out a ring box that had been prepared since. Richard who saw the ring box looked puzzled.

"This is the ring you wear when you have an accident. And as far as you know, you didn't like to wear rings since you were a kid" Julian said.

Richard scrunched his forehead, "Right, Pa. I don't like wearing rings."

"But this ring is a ring that was bought by your mother when in Africa," said Julian.

"Yes, Honey. Mama bought him a pair of tablets. You said you wanted to propose to your girlfriend who is in City A," said Joana who came to bring a glass of tea for Richard.

Richard looked increasingly confused, "Means I've got another girl after breaking up with Maura, Ma?" asked Richard, getting up and sitting down. The conversation with his parents made him uneasy.

"Yes, Honey. Della said you were willing to go out in the middle of the night just to see the girl." Joanna sat next to her husband.

"What, Ma?" richard asked in disbelief.
