Sweetest Escape

Kayla Plan

"Conscious of what you're saying, Kayla?" said Raka who was really shocked at the words of her daughter. "Papa knows you're afraid to start a relationship again. But this is not good for you. Papa told me goodbye will always be there."

"Son, if you don't want to get married, then what do our relatives say?" sahut Bela's. "As parents, we also want a grandchild."

Kayla knew if she didn't get married her parents would protest. He also understands the habits of people who will gossip about him later. An old virgin woman will be ostracized, but Kayla lives in the big city. No one would dare to bother him. However, he also understood that the place where he was born was not an outside country even though there was freedom in opinion or choice.

"Kayla wants to live abroad."

"What?!" raka's eyes widened to hear that. "Is your brain possessed by a mountain ghost? Live abroad and you want to be free? Did Papa teach you to behave like that? Our traditions are different, Kayla. Don't forget where you were born."

"Why Papa associates this with tradition or whatever. It's Kayla's life."

"Do you want to define your own life?" Raka is not out of thought with Kayla's life principles.

"Kayla has decided. Kayla wants to see the outside world. A different world. Kayla is going abroad. Steve invited me to a wedding. It's not good not to attend."

Finished saying that, Kayla left her parents. He headed to the bedroom, while Raka and Bela were still not completely finished with what happened.

"Do we have to call the paranormal? I think Kayla is possessed by a mountain ghost" Bela said.

"You can joke like this, Bela. Your son doesn't want to get married, so what does he want? Living abroad, living with men and giving birth to children without marriage. Is that his wish?" raka is upset.

"If we insist on rejecting him, he will be even more dissident. Kayla wants to see the world. I agree with that" Bela said.

"You agree? I think you're possessed by a ghost" said Raka.

"That's not what I mean. If he doesn't want to get married, that's his decision. I'm grateful Kayla didn't run in a bad direction.Not drunk or taking drugs out of love. He still understood what was not good for him."

"Darling, I just .... "

"I see what you mean. We were married just recently to a husband and wife. Kayla couldn't have done that to every guy. He's not that free. I hope out there he'll find a good man. It's about principles, honey," Bela said.

Raka let out a long breath. He leaned against the body of the sofa. Times have changed. Raka believes there is hell and heaven. Kayla is too. He has advised his daughter. To teach what is good and bad. But back to each other's thoughts. Kayla with her own mindset. If Kayla dares to act, then she must dare to take responsibility. Raka could only respect the principle of her daughter's life.

In the room, Kayla tidied up her documents. The passport is already there and he just takes care of the visa to go to America. For this problem it is very easy. He has a friend who can take care of the visa quickly.

Two days ago, Steve gave a message. Yes, the man apologized and told her he was getting married. The wedding was on the same date, month and year as Kayla had planned. There was still a month left, but Steve told him quickly. The former fiancee must have told Kayla to prepare the departure documents.

Goddamnit! Steve thought Kayla was going to cry. It is the fact that it is. Kayla cursed and cursed Steve. But it can be said in the heart.

Kayla's going to America, besides it's going on vacation. He had been planning his own holiday abroad for a long time. He will be adventurous and this time Kayla is on vacation in an unusual place.

"America! Wait for me to come" said Kayla.

The door was knocked from the outside. Kayla knew it was her parents. Kayla was actually lazy to argue again, but this was her father and mother. It is not good to ignore your own parents.

Kayla opened the room door. He invited Bela and Raka in. Raka sat on the edge of the bed, she patted the side next to him. Kayla understood the meaning of her father's code, then sat down next to Raka followed by Bela.

"Son, Papa and Mama can only advise. You're all grown up. Know what is good and bad. Every thing we do, there must be consequences" Raka said.

Kayla hugged her father. "Kayla understands, Pa. Don't worry."

"You sure you want to go to America?" ask Bela.

Kayla nodded. "Kayla wants to surprise Steve."

"Don't tell anyone Kayla's leaving."

"Why?" ask Bela and Raka together.

"What are all the problems in this house to be told? No, right," answered Kayla.

Raka chuckles. "Papa likes the habit of being with Dean and Kevin."

"Mama too. Understand, Honey. Our family is very close" Bela continued.

"Now just tell me how it is" said Kayla.

"We will try" said Raka and Bela in unison.

Kayla could only shake her head. The three families were like inseparable soul mates. Their relationship was closer than their own.

...****************...

Before going far away, Kayla had dinner with her parents' best friend's family. Obviously Kevin and Dean's family are shocked by Kayla's change.

"Our daughter is getting more beautiful, Bela," said Natalie.

"The mother is beautiful too" Bela replied.

"If Om was young, he would have had a crush on Kayla" Kevin said.

Kayla smiled faintly. "Om could have."

"We're still adorable" said Elena.

"She's my little daughter" Dean said.

"You guys! Kayla is my daughter and Bela. You can't have it" said Raka.

Actually it's this compliment that Kayla doesn't like. Kayla felt that the adults sitting with her thought she was a child. Kayla is an adult and her body is no longer fat. No one should call it cute and adorable.

"You're fine" whispered Anthea.

"I'm okay" he replied.

"Oh, yeah, Kayla. Next you want to work again at Om's place?" ask Kevin.

Kayla shakes. "Kayla wants a vacation first."

Raka and Bela glanced at each other. They won't tell Kayla's decision to stay abroad. It's their own family business.

"Where?" ask Aretha.

"It's just out of town" Kayla replied.

Kayla will not tell if she intends to go to America to attend the wedding of her ex. He also wouldn't say if he was going to live abroad. It's her life and Kayla doesn't want anyone to stand in her way.
