The Destiny 2: Extraordinary Love

Refraining

Yuan stopped his steps when he and Rose had reached Ana's doorstep.

The man then opened his mother's door knob.

After the door opened, he pulled Rose's arm back to go with him into the room.

“Yuan?” said Ana, then his gaze focused on the hand of his son who seemed to hold tightly to Rose's arm, making the owner of the arm grimace with pain. “What did you come here to bring Rose?” ask Ana.

“Mom, today give him a day off.” Yuan said.

“What?” rose and Ana said at the same time.

“Yuan, you can't just decide like this. I have been getting a lot of holidays. I am a worker here, how can I work as I like.” said Rose.

“This is your girlfriend's mother's restaurant, of course you can work all you want.” Yuan said.

Rose instantly fell silent at that very instant, she felt offended, deeply dislikeful of what Yuan had said.

The problem was that Yuan's words seemed to make her a seductress, who approached her only for treasure.

“But I don't want to be like that.” said Rose in her flat tone.

“Can you release your hand, I have to go back to work.”.

Rose removed her arm from Yuan's hand, although she managed to escape, but the next second, Yuan restrained her arm, forbidding Rose from leaving the room.

“I won't let you go.” Yuan said.

“Yuan, darling, listen to mommy. Rose has her own reasons why she doesn't want to be the way you want.” Ana said, advising.

The mother of Yuan had already heard the warm gossip among the employees. Ana knows that Rose is being rumored to be a bad woman because she has dared to approach people like Yuan.

“I don't care.” Yuan said. “Mom, give him permission to go home early today, but don't cut his salary, mommy just take my monthly allotment instead.” he said.

“Yuan, are you really this selfish?” rose said suddenly, the glint of the girl's eyes this time turned sharper. Rose was no longer hesitant about what he would say to Yuan even though there was Ana who incidentally was the mother of Yuan.

“Egoist? You said I was selfish?!” ask Yuan.

Ana who saw the couple's quarrel, she really couldn't stand it anymore.

“Two of you.” Ana said, making Yuan and Rose turn towards her. “What with emotions can solve the problem?” said it.

“Yuan, what Rose said is true, not all of Rose's life should you manage it. And Rose, Yuan behaved that way to you, nor was it without reason.” Ana said.

For a moment, Ana let out her breath.

“Hah, you two just can't understand each other yet. Try to be more open again.” continued.

Yuan and Rose just silently listened. Both of them look like no one intends to start the conversation.

“You can take Rose away. But Rose, from tomorrow you don't have to work here anymore.” Ana said.

Hearing her indirectly fired, Rose looked at Ana with a look of surprise.

“Bi— I mean Boss Ana, why am I suddenly fired? I have refused to go with Yuan. Please don't fire me. The needs of my daily life depend on my current job. So I beg you to reconsider your decision.” said Rose while pleading with the mother of her lover.

“Mom, why did mommy fire Rose? Kan Yuan already said, if mommy can take Yuan monthly rations as compensation when Rose does not enter work. Now why is mommy acting like this?” ask Yuan.

Ana sighed, knowing that her words could lead to a different variable than what Ana thought. Because actually Ana fired Rose was also caused by something.

The thing that made Ana have to take this heavy decision.

“Mommy fired Rose not because of that problem Yuan.” Ana said. “And you Rose, I fired you not because I was angry or anything. But I just don't want that you are always the subject of bad gossip employees.”

“Gossip? Mommy mean what?” ask Yuan.

“Lately, among mom employees, there have been a lot of bad rumors circulating about Rose. They say that Rose is a seductive woman for seducing the daughter of her own boss, you. Hah, if Mommy doesn't tell you right now, maybe you'll never know either. Because Rose will definitely hide her from you so you don't worry about her.” Ana said.

“What is true?” yuan asked as she looked at Rose who seemed to be silently bowing her head. “Are you really gossiped about like that?”

Rose remained silent, the girl seemed to have no intention of answering the question from Yuan.

“Rose, tell me. Why don't you want to tell me? Are you afraid I'm worried? It is only natural that I as your lover worry about you, why are you like this?” ask Yuan.

“Sorry.” said Rose, only that word can he get out of her lips.

“Sorry? Are there no other words you can say other than apologies? Did you also say that to those who gossiped about you? Why are you so naive? Why don't you just fight them? You have me who will always defend you.” Yuan said.

Hearing the ravings from Yuan, Rose felt furious and annoyed at the man. The girl was even seen clenching her hands.

“That's why they gossiped about me.” Rose said.

“What?” yuan asked, he did not understand what Rose had told him.

“Because they know that I have amazing backing like you, that's why they gossip about me. I've been defending myself, but do you know? When we are considered bad by others, then whatever we say or even do even though it is a good and right thing, they will still judge us badly, he said, that is the law of the value of a person. Which even the written law can not refute it anymore.” said Rose who seemed to immediately make Yuan checkmate.

The man could say nothing more.

“You can only say that you will always protect me, support me, defend me. But can you heal the pain in my heart because of their words? No, there is no cure for heartache.”, said Rose who appeared to start shedding her tears.

“Aunt Ana, I mean boss Ana. I agree with what you said earlier. Starting tomorrow, I won't be working here again. Sorry, excuse me.” said Rose who then just left Ana's room.

“Rose, Rose, where are you going? Rose!” call Yuan.

“Yuan, stop. No need to chase it.” said Ana.

“But mom— ”

“Yuan, listen to mom. He needs time to be alone. Leave him alone for the next few hours. After that you can find him and see him again. At the moment his heart was in turmoil, he himself must also feel confused with himself. So give him time to calm down.” Ana said.

Then then, the middle-aged woman was seen picking something up from inside her drawer.

“Give it to him. That's the form, tell him too, if he doesn't have to worry about his time and salary. Because the time is quite flexible and does not have to be face to face always. Then for his salary, quite high, higher than working here. This is all mommy can do for her.” Ana said as she gave a brown envelope to her son.

Yuan did not wait any longer, he immediately grabbed the brown envelope.

“Thank you mom, sorry Yuan also had a misunderstanding with mommy who suddenly fired Rose just like that.” said Yuan.

Ana responded with a warm smile, like the shining morning sun.

Alex looked at his son Nana with a face that still did not believe the behavior of the girl.

“Since when did you become this greedy girl hm?” ask Alex while eating his potato wedges.

Nana glanced at her father, then refocused on her food.

“From the first I did eat a lot.” replied Nana with her mouth still filled with food.

“Eat him slowly Nana. Nobody wants to fight over food with you anyway. One more thing, do not talk while you are chewing food, later you can choke.” said Alex, reminding.

“Papa should often give me this much free food. Do not just occasionally.” said Nana without caring for the advice of the father, he was still talking with a mouth filled with food.

It makes Nana desperate, he looks coughing, his nose feels sore.

Alex who saw the girl choking, he immediately grabbed the mineral water on the table, then gave it to Nana.

The middle-aged man helped his son drink while patting Nana's back softly.

“Have felt better?” ask Alex.

Nana let out a sigh of relief after her throat felt better. Then he nodded his head, answering a question from his father.

“That is the result if you do not listen to the advice of papa. Didn't you say, if you're chewing food, don't talk. Swallow your food first, then just talk.” said Alex.

“But that was the one who asked me to talk papa, why did you blame me?” lamented Nana.

Alex breathed his heavy breath, feeling that his daughter today was indeed more sensitive than ever. Nana always refuted his words and advice.

Even Nana's appetite suddenly increased by thousands of percent.

Truly, the current Nana did not look like the previous Nana.

“You're only in your twenties is menopause already? Why so sensitive? Especially to refute the words of your own father. Will you pull that ear so you know how to speak well to your parents?” said Alex.

Nana, hearing his father's words, assumes that the father is angry with her. Because of that, Nana suddenly displayed her bent face, the girl looked like she was wanting to cry.

“That's your facewhy again? Wanna cry? Huh, my God Nana. You're really having trouble with Kai, aren't you? So now you're venting all your emotions on papa? It's worth it that you suddenly eat a lot, then become super sensitive like this.” said Alex.

“Come, join papa.” said Alex who then grabbed his son's arm.

“Where? Where do you want to take me?” ask Nana.

“Your boyfriend's house. We'll solve your problems right away. Otherwise, papa really can't sleep quietly because he thinks of you suddenly like everyone else.” Alex said as he pulled Nana's arm slowly. The middle-aged man then takes Nana to his car, wanting to take his daughter to Kai's house.

“Papa, no, I can't meet him now.” Nana said, holding herself back from being pulled by her father. Nana wriggles and releases her hand from Alex's grasp.

“Why can't it? If I meet you, just meet. What makes you unable to meet him? Who would dare forbid you to meet your own lover ha?” ask Alex.

Nana sighed, the girl seemed to wipe her forehead at a glance, feeling confused, how to explain it to the father.

“She, she asked me not to see her first.” Nana replied with her head bowed.

“Dia? Who is he? Tell papa.” the clear word Alex.

“Of course Kai, who else are we discussing.” said Nana.

“Ck, look at how you're talking to your papa, it's really rude. You really need to meet her so that you're not as sensitive as this anymore. Come fast.” said Alex, he looked pulled Nana's arm again. But Nana released him back quickly.

“No, don't want papa. He said he needed time to be alone. After all, tomorrow we also still meet again.” said Nana.

“At least tonight you should meet and talk to him. The sooner the problem is solved, the better for your relationship. So quickly get in the car and we go to Kai's house tonight too.” Alex said.

“If you do not want to come to his house, contact him, meet him anywhere, it is important that you meet and solve your problems. Papa really can no longer see your nature like this just because you are frustrated with your relationship with Kai.” said Alex

After a long silence, Yuan finally moved from the sofa in his mother's room.

The day had darkened, the afternoon had also passed. Because he wanted to make room for Rose to calm down. Yuan had been holding himself back for hours not to see Rose.

But this time, after a few hours had passed, Yuan could no longer hold him back.

He immediately came out of his mother's room which looked empty because her mother had been home since this afternoon when her father came to pick her up.

“Young Yuan master, you already want to go home?” asked Dita's manager when Yuan had reached the last rung of the ladder.

Yuan nodded in response, “Iya. Manager Dita please take care of mommy restaurant ya.” Yuan said.

“Of course, it's already my job. Then young master Yuan good night and be careful on the road.” said manager Dita while smiling kindly to the son of his boss.

Yuan returned a friendly smile from Dita's manager, then after that, he went out from inside the restaurant towards the car park area.
