The Complicated Love #2

The Complicated Love #2
CL - 24. New Round



Life goes on, deciding to be alone is a hard choice. The reality is that as hard as anything survives, the last option is to separate.


Starting a new chapter in life, Tefan and I have decided this. I live my life, he lives his life. That's what this story should be like, in the future we'll see how God's destiny tells us about me and Tefan.


I was with Papa and Mama moved to one of the cities in the Eastern part of Indonesia. No one knows this, because our departure is a secret. I don't want the relationship between me and Tefan to continue to be a relationship that damages the whole family.


I want to live a quiet life, as do Mama and Papa in their old age. In that city I started building a Fashion business, I opened my first store not far from where I live. The reason is that I am more free to pay attention to Papa's health and help Mama in between rest.


Opening a fashion store is a new thing in my business career. I see this opportunity is quite good, for a while the contents of my shop are still taken from some suppliers but for the next I plan to develop my own products in this field.


I'm grateful because in this case Nina always helped me. The relationship between the two of us continues to be good and there is no mutual grudge against each other. Nina had also married a man of her choice shortly after she divorced from Tefan. It is only a little over two years for him to find a loving companion and accept his condition and status.


I was also present at her wedding, a happy aura constantly emanating from her face. I am so grateful that Nina finally found a port for her heart.


Regarding the fashion store that I temporarily built also thanks to the help of Nina. I currently have 3 employees, one in the cashier section, two others supervise or accompany prospective buyers to roam around looking at clothes in our store.


As far as I have monitored, the fashion business is quite promising, monthly turnover continues to rise and employees are also deft at work. It makes me feel grateful to be surrounded by reliable people.


"Sorry, are there any clothes?"


The voice of a prospective buyer blew my mind that afternoon. I looked around, Oh apparently being crowded with two employees until it looked overwhelmed to respond to the wishes of the buyer.


"Oh yes ma'am, let me take a look around."


I accompanied him around, but the model that Mother was looking for was apparently up. I offered another model and thankfully the mother was happy and took a few pairs of clothes for her, her husband and her two children.


Apparently there is a special impression if it is finished serving buyers and they buy the goods we offer. Like there is a new spirit.


After serving buyers I continue to list which models have been exhausted and need restock. So that buyers do not wait too long for the goods to be available again. Immediately I contacted the supplier and asked to restock the items I had put on the list. The process can be a week to two weeks.


"Mba, I'm glad the store's always crowded these days." Said one of my employees named Sani.


"Dad. Make us a spirit. You do not get tired of serving the will of customers well. Thank you for working so hard for this shop." I answered while smiling.


"Mba, I think we need new energy, add employees to the cashier and serve customers. I feel like I'm the same little dance serving customers."


"Dad we see if next month crowded continues, our employees added. What matters is that you stay up."


"Ready."

Papa's condition is much better now, Papa can walk as usual. Sometimes it is also helped by sticks. While Mama, I see much happier to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city that always makes her careless.


Mama is still knitting her knitting fields every day and lately it has been making me a little nervous. How not, Mama has knit the shoes of a child or baby more precisely, trus kupluk baby, sweater and much more.


I asked but Mama burdened me with something heavier than my question.


"Dad. Not for anyone. Just in case you get married and have kids. Mama had imagined that later this used by the grandson of Mama would be very adorable."


Mama began to imagine as she pleased. Not thinking of me being sculpted in front of him heard him say the word married and have grandchildren. Hhhhh


"Well, thank you. But I think Mama's overkill."


"Why? You don't want to get married?"


Mama lightly replied that she did not care about my face that was half-sullen like this.


"It's not Ma, but it might be a long time or I don't know when."


"You don't want to be happy, Mama?"


Duh since when the hell Mama was spoken to not connect like this? This is why my mom is so sensitive. Marriage is the above business. I know I'm getting married, my girlfriend doesn't have one. This mom is just there.


"Yes, that's not Ma. No one wants to see their parents happy."


I tried to persuade Mama whose face was beginning to be unfriendly.


"Hurry up and find a husband. Papa and Mama you're old, it's time to pet the grandchildren."


I looked with certainty at the source of the voice with that cornered tone.


Especially this? Against the old man obviously I won't win. Should you marry? How I feel married is not important. Since the incident with Tefan, I have felt that getting married is no longer a top priority in life.


"Now the Papa used all the extra."


"Find a man who deserves love. You're not kasian yeah, we're this old but haven't even fondled grandchildren."


He sounded more demanding than Mom. Duh how is this.


"Dad, Riana's looking. Doain, I hope I meet."


Finally, Papa and Mama's smiles were reflected as well. I can also freely leave them in the family room and immediately run from there to the room.


I want to soak and calm myself. Today I am tired and I think a lot. Moreover, the conversation continued to corner me, in this house is there no other discussion what other than marriage, having children and so on?


I took off all my clothes and replaced them with a towel. Then enter the bathroom, play relaxation music on the phone and I listen to it through the headset, soak while closing my eyes. This is one form of comfort that I always look for once I get home.
