The Fate Or Destiny

Eps. 13. Then and Now

Om Denny opened the gate, Benaya then entered and immediately parked the car. This time he's out without a driver because it's the end of the week, Farly's not in. After entering the house, a cell phone from the upper room sounded. Ben quickly climbed the stairs, the phone he put on his desk earlier. He forgot to bring that thing.

The mother called Benaya, waiting for the call from the firstborn who was now far across the island. Different turns out to feel in the heart when his son lives in the apartment, not seeing every day but rarely calling. Now, the distance turns out to affect, almost every night mama contacts Benaya. Ben used to call on Saturday, it's late afternoon the phone didn't ring.

📱

"Ben.mama waiting from earlier, usually Saturday you like to call during the day..."

"I just got home ma.. hp forgot I brought it..."

"Where are you going?"

"So to the mall, lunch all buy daily necessities, there's a search for books too, keep stopping by for a while for coffee..."

"Oh... Beca called you? Next week the kids have a week off, he says he wants to take the kids there..."

"Udah ma... Mama want to come here?"

"Can't Ben, next week it's mama there are many activities Dharma Wanita..."

"When do you want to come here?"

"Liat later yes. What are you not going home?"

"Later, if the work here is stable, it has gone according to the stage of work I take time to go home..."

"Ben.. mama so remember Renske..."

"Range? How do you suddenly remember ma?"

Someone's poking his conscience. Again.the inner peace is disturbed. Renske's name suddenly appeared in his memory a few days ago while enjoying a cup salad. And soon after it was like there was an invisible line connecting with the mother who mentioned the name. Ben took a breath. He came out of the room and headed towards the terrace, the phone still attached to his ear with the help of his right hand.

"Yesterday there were papa friends in the Kawanua society died, the mother was equally papa came to the funeral, the location of the cemetery is the same as Vosye and Reinhart, there was a flower stop by... so remember Renske..."

"Oh..so..."

"Yes, you know. Papa came back very sad when standing in Reinhart's grave, it's his good friend... Their early days in their overseas boarding together, everything belongs together, yes food clothes and even the contents of the wallet... Reinhart and Vosye were short-lived, living as if..."

Ben was silent, his mind had already ventured into the events of the past. Renske. if the teenager appears in his house then his peaceful life is immediately disturbed. That means some days he had to get up at half-five in the morning to take the boy to school which was almost 3 hours from home, then had to pick him up when he came home. Irritated, angry, hateful to even be there for the boy. Until the moment of the incident, seeing the child several times fainted in front of the chest of Aunt Vosye, Ben felt very sinful, indirectly he became the cause of the tragic event. Especially after Renske is out of sight...

"Ben..."

"Eh. yes ma..."

"Renske brought his sister Vosye back to Manado, who the hell... That's Renske's real mama..."

"Oh... Renske went back to Manado..."

"Let's look for it. Mama owes it to Vosye, when mama looks at him last time, maybe he already has a feeling will overtake Reinhart, mama had diitipi si Renske... but yes mama can't do anything because her real mama is more entitled..."

"I told you to find Renske? Manado is not a small town... Where do you want to go anyway, why look for him?"

Ben was speechless.he remembered the hell about Renske, but it was too strange if he had to search. Indeed there was once a desire to know what and how he was now, but to deliberately seek ahh, it was not him, not a Benaya who had to care and deal with a woman.

"Ben..."

"Ma. I'm here at work, there's rarely free time. Don't know about him it's okay.toch mama there's no obligation for that..."

"Ben.. mama feels indebted not to carry out the mandate of Vosye..."

"Ma, he has the hand of his real mama is not abandoned... If mama can not mama innocent..other if mama intentionally... already yes... mama healthy right? I'm closing up..."

Ben is lazy to continue the conversation when it is like that.

"Ben.mamma will think..."

Mama took out one manipulative weapon. And Ben didn't realize that. Every time mama must have succeeded with that sentence, and every time Benaya gave up for fear of stomach acid.

"Yes.yeah, if there is a vacancy later I try to find out, maybe someone knows.but do not demand now I am busy..."

"Mama will find the address, later mama asked friends at the Kawanua association..."

.

Oh, my God, my mom really wanted Ben to find out about Renske.

That kid wasn't the number one bully in my life...

Mom's phone was cut off. Ben who was sitting on the porch next to his room immediately lost the mood to read the book he just bought. The desire in the car just disappeared.

Ben stood up from the chair and walked over to the railing of the iron terrace fence. The front of the terrace is the side that Ben most often chooses to calm down. Especially sometimes he gets a view that is so interesting, the routine of a woman in the narrow hallway.

Surely she's not interested in the girl uh not the widow, her mother Yica. A young woman with two children who are so independent and hardworking, not like the women who have been chasing her. He just likes to see women like that, tough, independent. Because he likes to pay attention he began to memorize the routine of the young woman on the side of the narrow hallway - a hallway that began to connect the track of them both like, that's Ben---

And it's like there's a secret hand that rules everything... Ben found the figure of the woman, sitting on the stairs next to his frame, fingers and eyes were busy on his phone.

The excitement because my mom's phone was vaporized. Looking at the figure, whose face was half-subdued, although from a distance but was able to make Ben's heart feel serene. What is it... Why does enjoying the activity of the woman really reconcile? He had never seen his face properly...

Ben... his mother Yica women times...
