The Fate Or Destiny

Eps. 15. You Turned So Close

Daytime... The weather was so hot today. The air conditioner has been lowered to the lowest temperature, but the room still feels hot. Ben could not hold any more discomfort in his body. Yesterday he was in the field controlling his own construction work, had a sudden rain. He was soaked yesterday and only today felt in his body. His head hurts.He does not like to take medicine, his only medicine is to sleep.

"Josh.. You handle yes. I'm not feeling well, I want to go home..."

Out of the room, his face seemed to be in pain.

"Oh. good sir."

Ben got off in a doldrums, headed straight for the car that was ready in front of the office, Farly had been contacted earlier to drive him home. Lucky time to go home just for a little while. Especially at this hour the streets are still quiet.

As the car was about to enter the hallway, Ben saw Lisya who was crying.Spontaneously asked Farly to stop, Ben rushed down. Si Lisya has entered the shop. Lisya's cry was still loud.

"Yica... Yica..."

Had hesitated for a moment to go inside, but Lisya's still strong-sounding cry finally made her enter. Ben went deeper through the door on the inside of it, turned out to be the kitchen, continuing to look for the origin of the sound. There's one more door in the back. Lonely, aren't there any adults here now?

"Yica..."

There was a room behind the door turned out to be a sitting room and Yica was seen standing in the doorway of the room. The boy was still crying, when he saw Ben he came closer as hiccups as he might have been crying long enough.

"Omen... Omen huaaah's..."

Because he forgot his headache, he fell sorry to hear the voice of the Yica. He lifted Yica's body and hugged the child.

"Where's Mama Yica?"

"Mama Yica is far away..."

The little boy was left alone...

"Who's the same?"

"Mami Thethe.. mami Thethe iyang..."

"Mommy???"

"Mami Thethe iyang. (lost)"

"the lang? Missing...?"

At least Ben began to understand the lisp language of the Yica. Mama's gone.mami's missing, what does this kid mean...

"Where's Yica?"

"Omen..it's omen..."

Lisya patted Ben's back.

"It's not Ben, it's one..."

"Momer iyang.. huaaaah..."

"Udah.. stop crying yes. there is no Ben now..."

Lisya's cry started to subside, but it still sobbed on her back. Ben was confused as to what, did he just bring Lisya home? For a moment Ben just patted the soft back of Lisya who was leaning on him.

Keke came in later and was a little shocked to see Lisya crying and hugging someone, and that person was Benaya?

"Made..."

Keke's voice made Lisya cry again. Keke reached out his hand taking Lisya from Benaya's embrace, they stared for a moment.

"Ohaha.hh..."

"Udah. shut up..."

"Mami Thethe napa iyang"

"Mami Keke went away for a while. Just shut up..."

Benaya noticed the two women of different ages in front of him, especially the woman who called herself Keke. Only now paying close attention, more carefully looking at that face. All this time if he met her he didn't really look at Keke.

This woman... is exactly the same as someone? Ben continued to look on without blinking. This one is much slimmer, the cheeks are not as chubby as they used to be. But the dimples are stuck on both chubby cheeks, especially when smiling, the shape will be very clear. The body of the bongsor teenager has changed into the body of an adult woman. But that face was too familiar once...

"Rense...?"

Keke turned his head, still snuggling to calm Lisya down. Eyes look at each other. Long time no hear that name. Not answering, just looking. But on his face there was no denial that it was him. Benaya read that...

"Rens.. turns out you're this close..."

Keke remained silent. In her carriage Lisya had already regained her composure. The boy asked to come down from Keke's sling.

"Omen... Yica puna ceda..."

"Bicycle, De..."

"Ceda ceda tan (right)?"

Ben smiled at Lisya who was pushing the pink 3-wheeled bike closer to Ben. The boy quickly disappeared sadly, now showing off his bike. Ben is moved from Keke and without being told Ben sits on the sofa without hesitation. Realizing Keke as someone she knew in the past made her comfortable staying in that house.

Actually if he wanted to admit Renske was like a brother to his family, like a son to his mother and father's successor Rebbeca, then Rebbeca was studying in Singapore. Renske was actually not someone else for him even though he was angry, although he liked him teriakin but at that time he was still care, still dropping off and picking up the Renske. Even he had a special call, Rens alone, he said saying Renske was complicated on his tongue.

Keke who was confused to behave like what finally pulled the dining chair and sat in the farthest corner of Benaya. Strange but real, a few months stay neighbor Ben just recognized him. What happened to his eyes and brain?.

"Where were you Rens... Yica why is she left alone..."

Ben tried to unravel the stiffness between them, since a few minutes before silence each other just pay attention to Lisya who tried his new bike.

"Eh. earlier he slept, I went to the home of the head of the neighborhood love dues there are residents who died. Anyways on top there is another handyman work..."

"Your sister?"

"She's going to school to pick up Via..."

"Workers?"

"Home home..."

Why is it like interrogating...

"Pity that he was crying all the way, fortunately I came home quickly earlier, fortunately Yica also came out earlier..."

"Yes.thank you for caring about Lisya..."

Keke replied with carelessness because in Ben's speech implied a link about his negligence to Lisya.

Ben stared intensely, it turned out that the woman who had been keeping him interested the past few times, was not someone else. Do not deny that the look of Rens is now very different, looks mature and of course his eyes do not deny the physical Rens is also interesting.

Keke who was stared at for a long time by Ben stood up, so uncomfortable.

"Want to drink something?"

Keke...

"Please make ginger water Rens. My head hurts again..."

Ehh?? So a familiar pretentious use a whole lot anyway, who are you? So sorry to offer a drink, but Keke finally went to the kitchen. When returning with a cup of warm ginger water, Ben seemed to lean back and close his eyes.

"Suu... Omen bobo's..."

Si Lisya whispered with an index finger on her lips. Keke watched for a moment Benaya's face, really sick like. But is it really sleeping? Finally Keke put the cup on the dining table, closed it and he stepped into the kitchen, there was a dessert order that he had to finish.

Keke was uncomfortable. He is always auto alert when there is a man familiar, do not want anyone else around his life. Is Ben among others? Yes do not deny the closeness of their family first, since he their family children often vacation together, visit each other. But now another, seeing Ben is like seeing a stranger.

Dessert finished arranged in a box. Rommel and Via are home.

"Sir... Why does Benaya sleep here?"

"Eh was the sister to the house nutmeg dues, it turns out Dede woke up, cry out to look at him, he metemenin Dede, do not know even sleep..."

"Sister... Brother knows Benaya?"

"Yes... Know the hell, why?"

"She likes to pay attention to her brother from the porch of her house, likes to smile to herself..."

"Eh... time anyway?"

"Yes..."

Keke's forehead is wrinkled, likes to pay attention but does not recognize himself. Looks like he was shocked earlier when he found out he was the Renske who always troubled him first.

"Do you not know?"

"Nobody's never seen Mel..."

Keke continued the work of making Panada cake batter orders for a short night.

"Help Mel, this is an order of 250."

"Yes, brother, but I'm doing college work first."

Rommel went ahead, while making errands while guarding their small shop. In addition to pulses, cakes and desserts and cold drinks, sales in the store are now increasing with 3 kilos of gallon water and elpiji.

Keke was curious that Benaya had not come out yet either. He went into their inner room, Benaya was asleep, this time curled up on the sofa which looked small because of his tall body and looks stocky. Ginger tea was drunk immediately. The fan is turned on. He's that free right here?
