The Complicated Love #2

Accept your Destiny

"Mama just go home to Jakarta, leave me alone in Bali. I want to calm down first." Saka said softly to his mother, his gaze not moving from the vast expanse of sea that he saw from the window of the hotel room he rented.

"Mama wants to accompany you to fight to get back, Riana." Her mother touched Saka's arm. But the hand was slowly lowered by Saka and looked at Mama's face.

"Ma, please! Don't interfere anymore. Go home!" Saka's voice was suppressed, giving Mama some understanding to listen to him this time.

After all, it is also surprising that this old man Saka, he should be able to act more legowo. Instead of making children as a weapon to satisfy their own desires under the pretext that Saka can be happy. Everywhere there is no happiness from ruining the happiness of others.

Saka's eyes continued to look at his mother who seemed to budge unwilling to leave Saka.

"If Mama doesn't want to go, let Saka stay away from you all. Don't ever look for Saka again, I want to find peace of life."

"Don't love .. all right, Mama's leaving. You're in Bali and Mama begs you to come back no matter what. Okay?"

"Thank you for respecting Saka's decision, Ma."

The rain falls in the middle of the hot month of June. Saka takes shelter in a cafe that leads directly to the beach. His eyes could not be seen the rain that poured through the roof of the cafe. It was like his feelings now that were like rain. Fall sipped to the ground, holding back the cold for his winding life.

The only person she missed so much, the one she loved so much, is now in someone else's arms. It's not Riana's fault, it's not Tefan's fault, but he's all these problems can be present.

Circumstances make Saka like bouncing to the farthest side of the earth, he lost his direction because his loved ones now can no longer be embraced. Like pungguk misses the moon, ah no. Saka's life today is like the sun losing light when it rains.

He shaved the coffee that had been puffing the smoke ever since, swaying up in the wind. I don't know what Saka was thinking at the time, but there was something that stole his attention. Exactly four tables from him sat down at this moment, the sight he saw seemed to crush all the hopes he planted.

Right there, straight in front of him. Riana, Tefan and Kiano are enjoying dinner together. While he was alone with the coffee that was soon cold. Accidentally, her tears hit her cheeks. Soon he will shed tears because he does not want to be caught by people or visitors who are there.

After all, a man who cries in the rain will become very apprehensive when seen by people. Saka's eyes did not escape the small family that originally belonged to him. His heart was broken seeing all that, yet that was the fate he had to accept. Although it feels very bitter if swallowed just like that.

Saka sees Tefan standing up and leaves Riana as well as Kiano. Saka was moved to follow Tefan who was likely to go to the toilet.

He stood following Tefan and sure enough the man was indeed going to the toilet. Saka leaned against the wall in the entrance of the toilet. While smoking cigarettes that continue to emit smoke. Though Saka is not a smoker, but the problems that hit him make cigarettes become his escape.

Tefan was surprised once Saka greeted him.

"How are you?" ask Saka casually.

"Hi, you. Can I help you?" Tefan asked without a stale ado.

"Can we talk for a second?" Saka sucked deeply into the cigarette tucked in his finger.

"could. Just right there. Or ... Would you like us to have a conversation with Riana?"

They also walked to a quieter place outside the cafe. Both seemed silent, the two men were both sturdy, tall and equally handsome faces. Only fate distinguishes the two.

"As for Riana, does she love you?" ask Saka.

Actually that question was a futile question asked by Saka. Because she knew, Riana's first love was the man in front of her. She knew all about Tefan from Riana, about how Riana used to be so infatuated with Tefan. However, he only wanted to hear it directly from Tefan.

"Considered you? After what you saw, are you able to deduce about Riana's love for me?"

Saka was silent, because all she saw was that Riana was so happy. She looked at Riana who was laughing a lot and smiling while watching them earlier. Especially with the presence of Kiano. Then complete their happiness.

"I shouldn't have to ask you that? Because obviously, you're so happy." Saka smiled wryly at himself.

It is very sorry for Saka who is like a man desperate because of his love that was taken away.

"Me and Riana have gone through so many trials that we can finally get married like now. For me, marrying Riana is the great blessing of God in my life. I thought I'd lost him forever. However, God willed another and I am grateful that this time I can be with him."

"You're lucky."

"No, I'm not lucky. But I'm so lucky to be with him."

"Can you accept Kiano like a child?"

"Kiano is the link between me and Riana. From the beginning he was a magical boy. I fell in love with that boy, so sweet, so funny, and so loving to his mother. She takes good care of Riana as her mother. Sometimes, I wonder why she loves her mother so much. But I finally realized, the reason behind it all was because Kiano didn't want to let Riana grieve or cry anymore."

Saka was touched by her heart hearing Tefan's explanation. He did not expect the little baby who was still red when he left, was now grown and grew into a very good child.

"Do you want to see them?" ask Tefan.

"No need. Please take good care of them, Fan. I'm so grateful that they've been okay and happy." Seen sad eyes from Saka, there is also a puddle that half-dead held.

"Come on, you can talk to him about anything. Introduce yourself to Kiano, I'm sure the boy will accept you well."

"I'm not sure."

"Saka, you have to believe in the instinct between father and son. If I'm not Kiano's real father, how about you who's obviously Kiano's real father."

"But-

"No need, come with me."

Saka resigned and joined Tefan to meet Riana and Kiano.
