The Fate Or Destiny

Eps. 35. Amazing, But Less What Yes?

Keke was still crying, the first time crying again so loudly like this without being able to bear it. Last like that when in front of the body of the mother, but at that time the cry was because of sadness and loss. Now, she was crying in a million senses, like getting something long lost, answering questions since she was little what did her birth father love her, remembering her?

"Ike..my son..."

The father also cried again, eager for him to hug and calm his son.

"Pa.. hkkszz.. pa.. hiikzzs... papa... hikks"

Finally, Keke stammered the word papa in between his tears. Om Ramly who heard that looked closely at his son who was also looking at him full of tears. The man stood up and moved in the chair next to Keke...

"Come to papa's son.. Papa can hug Ike?"

Keke lowered his head sobbing and shook his head slowly.

"Ke.. papa kangen Ike has long wanted to do this, see and hug my own son..."

Oh.. papa.. shortly afterwards Keke poured into the chest of the father, greeted with all feelings by his father. The two cry together. The people who witnessed including Keke's men standing on the stairs were crying in the day. Life is like drama.

Om Ramly rubbed his baby's head and ventured to kiss the top of his daughter's head...

"Papa love me. Thank you son. for accepting papa. Ike forgive papa?"

Keke nodded his head in his papa's arms.

"Oh wise God, papa happy Ike. papa happy... oh God..."

Keke finally dared to wrap his hand the body of his father. He felt again the affection of a papa. from Papi Rein then and now from his own father, his biological father.

"Mami Thethe napa nayis (why crying)..."

Lisya came out of the room, just woke up and was astonished to see her mother crying. The expression on his face began to cry. Aunt Wisye swiftly took Lisya in her arms and then went downstairs.

"Yica liyat mami Thethe duyu..."

Keke came out of the arms of the papa, about to stand looking for Lisya, but aunt Lenda gestured unnecessarily before descending again. Earlier their kepo souls appeared when they heard the sound of crying then three srikans in the kitchen Keke rose to the top. Now the work must be continued, enough to know the good-natured employer has met papa bladder and looks fine.

"Ike... That was Via and the little one, Bonita's kids huh?"

Papa Ramly could immediately guess the faces of the two little girls who looked like Bonita. He used to be a long-term dad and he also loved Bonita while still with Virda's mom.

"Yes..."

"Which bang?"

"In Singapore, work."

"Oh yeah... Ike, papa introduce your cousin, he Engline has met, right? That's aunt Irenne and om Raff, papa's oldest brother... Ike forgot maybe because he was a child when he met them... Engline is 2 years older than Ike..."

"Hai Renske. Call me Inge..."

"Sister Inge. hello..."

Keke threw a small smile at his cousin.

"Well, that's Lodewyk, call Lody. She's the same age as Inge..."

"Sister..."

Keke stared for a moment at the guy who was smiling awkwardly at him. Lody simply nodded his head in return for Keke's greeting.

"Drink the tea first..it's as cold as it is..."

"Oh yes. thanks Renske..."

Keke stood up and took one cup at the coffee table and moved it to the table in front of his papa.

"Papa drank..."

Om Ramly smiled happily got that treatment.

"Why not drink sweet to.. Papa there is diabetes, can you ask for warm water only?"

"Yes..."

Keke returned with a glass of warm water in hand, putting it in front of his papa.

"Eh.. want to come down for a while. want to tell you about the work, then come here again..."

"Yes. yeah... Ike busy for sure, please Ike work is okay."

"The cake was eaten by pa... Eh.. Ike later make breakfast yes, not long anyway. Ike stay ya pa..."

"Yes, son..."

Something big is happening today, like a miracle that Keke saved to receive as his birthday present this time. Keke descended to the first floor with light steps, his heart also felt light, plong. It felt like something was reconciling in his heart, a new love was seeping in his soul right now.

"Where's aunt..dede?"

"Ahead of Rommel."

"Oh... Rommel's home?"

"Yes... Why is Keke down now? We can move quickly really, Tole has already handled cooking rice, same aunt Wisye Lenda who cook the same side dish vegetables..."

"There is catering later in the afternoon Aunt Wis. pretty much we will cook today."

"Tante Lenda has seen the catering menu on the refrigerator door, 2 menus we cook all for abstinence and for panstove later in the afternoon.hun kok we, keke's dad still misses that..."

Aunt Lenda pushed Keke towards the stairs.

"Eh.. tan, I'd like to make them breakfast..."

"What is so good about.. Rice has tan?"

"Udah exists... Tole cepet also works, this is already cooked the second..."

"Okay, aunty bake fish if so, I make ash-dabu the same kale..."

"Keke... in front there is a pick up car filled sacks kayak kemaren material, it turns out papa Keke who sent that time?"

"Seriously?"

"Yes. was aunty Wis forward when persuading the dede to stop crying, the driver asked to be revealed where the material... from Ramly's om, he kept his mouth shut..."

"Eh tan. brought the driver to drink..."

"Uda..."

"He said his papa Keke his business was. what was it. The garden is said to be hectares in Rurukan Tomohon..."

"Oh.. that's..."

Keke gave a small smile thinking of his papa like bringing a birthday gift of one-car groceries for him.

"Keke.. aunty also had the name earlier..."

"What.. aunt Wis kepo yes..."

"Sorry Keke.. auntie asked, where is his wife Mr. Ramly.. why not come?"

Keke raised his face to look at Aunt Wisye who was streaming pieces of tuna fish in a large pan with thin lemon, waiting for the continuation of information about Aunt Wisye, he also wanted to know the life of his father.

"He said, during 2 years of cooperation Mr. Ramly who he knew Mr. Ramly had long divorced, had one child but followed his wife and had adopted children after divorce..."

"Why don't you. Don't you get married again?"

Keke made a soft sound, continuing to cut the kale.

"Say like that..."

Keke began to think about the life of his father before this... might be lonely alone without family, without him? Then look so earnestly expecting Keke? Something warm spreads in the heart, the eyes heat up again. But there is also a question to ask, why divorce first? Why not marry again?

Papa Ramly this time stayed longer in the shophouse, Inge and Lody left his papa because there is a need in Manado this, Manado, the driver picked up after taking down the sacks of vegetable ingredients and kitchen spices immediately left.

At first Keke was still stiff and awkward greeting, but at lunch he had a little chat about papa's business. Slowly the chemistry began to meet and if not remembering the work waiting maybe the two of them will sit together to string the story. Finally when papa said goodbye as if he had just been together for a while.

Night, after an amazing day... Keke lay in his room. Keke was already sleepy cape body, after papa Ramly came home Keke speeding finish some menu orders. Birthday is very memorable, but it feels like something is lacking. While asleep, he had not been able to identify what was missing today in his heart...

In Jakarta, Mama Talitha's Birthday. It should have been two days ago, but since it was only two days different from Moses, it is celebrated on this day. The event was held during the day, there were friends of the Mosses, there were papa friends from the Kawanua association, and close relatives.

When he came home, he had planned this for a long time. He had wanted to invite Keke, but Keke's profession didn't allow that. Ben has three days to go home and the plan is Monday morning, two more days just back Manado.

Ahead of the night, finished helping to tidy up the home page that became the location of the event, Benaya sat at the kitchen table with a glass of coffee in front of him. There's mama Talitha accompanying each other for coffee. The papa still continued kongkow in the cafe of papa Fredrik's habitual friend on Sunday night.

"Sister, mintain klappertart dong recipe same Renske, or brother has his phone number? I asked for it myself."

Rebbeca came into the kitchen carrying a pile of dirty little basins.

"You want to do that?"

"Yes, it's good to make Renske, my friends say it's good too."

"When do they eat? Buy where?"

"So, there are still 1 more pan in the refrigerator that you brought from Manado, I love them to try..."

"Eh... It's mine, why give it to people anyway?"

"Geez brother.later want to eat there again until satisfied... Where's brother, want to see his phone number..."

Benaya looked at Beca in annoyance, sipped coffee and lazily pulled her phone out of her pants pocket. Beca immediately seized the last mobile phone of the famous brand.

"Sister..not answered..."

Ben was just a faint smile, he had only been here three days after his call was answered Keke.

"So... Renske's catering business, Ben?" asked the curious mama brought various kinds of food he said make all Keke.

"Yes..."

"Eh.. It's Renske's birthday too..."

"Huhuh? Is Rens really his birthday today?"

"Yes, it's two days different with mom, and same date with Mosses."

Ben took the HP out of Beca's hands. Oh... Ben has not congratulated his girlfriend. Mama frowned at Ben's reaction, she noticed Ben's behavior when several times talking about Renske, his facial expression was different. There's something that women read a half-century over that.

Ben made a few calls, no answers.
