The Fate Or Destiny

Eps. 43. Don't Like to Hurt

One of the strangeness that always occurs in relation to others, to the closest person, to a loved one. when someone stands up against, then there is someone who will defend. And the one who had defended desperately at another time could turn against. It's normal, not new.

Complicated? Put simply. now papa Fredrik was just ordinary towards Ben even agreed with Ben and mama Talitha just again urgency, again annoyed at the choice of his son. That is, indeed what can not change in the world yes. said a philosopher, who does not change is change itself 🤭✌.

"Well, try to find out about Renske..."

The mother and son were enjoying the afternoon at the dining table on the back porch near the pantry outside. The usual ART eating place. Mom just finished watering her favorite flowers.

"Why ma?"

"Find out..."

"Why mama didn't ask her sister anyway, she would often meet Renske now..."

"It's just that mom doesn't want her to know Mama's investigating Renske..."

"What's the matter ma? You're a freak, what do you want to know about Renske?"

"She has two children now, the only child she said. Mama wants to know her husband, whether he's dead or divorced from Renske..."

"Ma... like there is no work...why want to find out the lives of others? Even if it's Renske, it's kind of weird that suddenly mama kepo..."

"Recap... Ben likes her, they're dating and mom doesn't like that."

"Seriously???"

"Yes.so before they get any further, mama wants to know Renske. Your sister would definitely not refuse if you gave a reasonable reason why you didn't like Renske..."

"Hehehe..why the way they both have to turn long ago yes..."

"Funny what..."

"Yes ma aja funny..remember the time Renske small to teenager, how the attitude of the sister to Renske first. Uh, it's that now..."

"Not funny akh..."

The mama frowned, having no allies to oppose Ben.

"Why don't you like it?"

"She's a widow with two kids, mama doesn't like that..."

"Ma???"

Rebbeca was shocked. He looked at his mother sadly.

"The reason mama's painful... I'm a widow with two kids.Mama forgot? What if someone wanted to marry me and her parents refused for the same reason? I'm not asking to be a widow, Renske, either. Mama not only denied Renske's status here, but she rejected my status as well..."

Rebbeca stood up leaving Litha's mother. Mama fell silent. Like a double-edged sword, the reason the mother refused Renske instead slashed the heart of the beloved princess. Yes, he forgot that fact. Rebbeca stepped sad to leave the new mama aware that she had let go of the talk. Looking at his son's steps he knew he had hurt his daughter, and was now hurting himself.

Mama took a heavy breath. Those words cannot be withdrawn anymore. Indeed the Renske did not hear, but surely the Renske will react the same as Rebbeca. He used to like that kid. Full guilt rules over Mama Litha's heart.

Mom knocks on her daughter's door slowly...

"Well, my mom comes in..."

There's no answer. Mom knocked again.

"Recher..."

You can guess what your child is doing in the room. The guilt is increasing.

"Recher..."

When I did not get an answer, my mother finally opened the door to the room. The sad sight caught his eyes. Rebbeca was crying in bed hugging Paul's pile of clothes.

"Recher..."

Mama sat on the side of the bed, behind her daughter's back. He held onto that slowly shaking shoulder.

"Mom's sorry Beca..."

Rebbeca cried again after a long time of forgetting her grief. Today there was another tertoreh wound precisely from his own mother, about his status. Don't you understand that being a widow hurts? She must be strong for her two children, work harder for the sake of her two sons, she must hold her heart against the distractions of a seductive man considering her cheap because of her status, and many more cynical and discriminatory attitudes he received.

"Ca. forgive mom..."

Mama Litha then hugged her daughter down wanting to reach her son's heart, joined in crying on the shoulder she was holding from behind.

"I'm sorry mom, Ca..."

"Why... Paul left ma... why did he.. leave me..."

Beca's voice faltered amidst her cries.

"I'm sorry mama ya Ca. Mama's attitude is wrong with Beca, same Ben too, same Renske..."

Both are crying harder. Rebbeca sat on the bed and hugged her mother again.

Words can hurt and heal. It's okay to admit a mistake as soon as you realize it, and the heartache can be quickly rebounded.

Mama called Ben after two weeks of not doing it for his naive reasons. She's not really a conservative mama, but maybe by looking at Ben's achievements she's proud and makes him a little 'tall' looking at things for Ben including the couple.

📱

"Yes ma..."

Ben exited to the front porch upon receiving the call. He just got home from the office. Cape felt, today he went back and forth around a 5-story building that extends approximately 300 meters. There is no elevator, no escalator, it is installed but not yet functional, still passing the emergency stairs while the freight elevator is in maintenance. He controls the floor work that's just begun.

"You healthy?"

"Yes...mama?"

"Healthy. The kids miss you."

"Oh.. I'll vc them."

Switching calls...

"Bipi Papi..."

Two voices came into Ben's ears. Ben smiles, he misses these boys too.

"Fat fat now yeah..."

"Bapi. mana Via, brother Mosses kangen said..."

"I don't..."

The two boys were seen on a mobile screen hitting each other.

"Hey.don't fight. Ma. seperatin."

"..."

"Mosses... Matt...!" Ben gave an affirmation in his voice.

"Yes. yeah..."

Now the two boys are fighting over each other's space on the phone screen. Matthew is the noisiest.

"Papi... We went to class. Matthew rank 5."

"Rank 5 is arrogant..."

Mosses grumbled as he pushed Matthew's head.

"What number of posts?"

"Regular.papi Bipi, rank 1, already bosen in fact..."

Ben laughed, who is more arrogant actually?

"Bapi Bipi..."

Matthew shouted back on the screen.

"Yes. Can..."

"Yepin..."

"Where oma, give her hp to oma..."

"Ben..."

"When are the kids here?"

"Next week, Beca's already bought a ticket."

"OKs. Mama's coming along, haven't had a long walk here..."

"Mama's anterin kids..."

"Oh.it's... Beca's not coming?"

"He can't leave the cake shop, it's rame now."

"Wahh. good for him..."

"What did you bring Ben?"

"Don't bother ma... Ask Beca to come to the apartment, get me three pairs of shoes."

"Oh.. Mama just bought it..."

"No ma'am, I have a lot of shoes in the apartment not in use, baby... Here often to the field so shoes so quickly shabby..."

"Oh. well. Ben. um... Renske... is he good?"

"Yes.he's good ma..."

"Renske's kids?"

"Kids? Renske hasn't had a child, ma."

"Si... Same with Cia?"

"Oh. children... Via the same Lisya... They are healthy aja ma... already yes, I cape already sultry too, want to take a shower first. bye ma..."

.

Cell phone's dead, Litha's mama's so tangent. What does it mean Ben Renske has no children? Plus curious mama can not wait for the departure to Manado.

Hurting someone's heart is easy, the more selfish the easier it is. But to bandage back a person who is hurt needs to be magnanimous...

Just like a paper if torn will not be intact as before if connected with the best glue though...

So. hurting that person is actually hurting yourself...

The spirit of guys. I am also still the spirit of writing...
