The Fate Or Destiny

Eps. 45. There's a Love Song

Car stopped. Two boys have been asleep since then, and have not realized the car has stopped. Ben hasn't opened the door yet, but Keke has removed the seatbelt.

"Mirror..."

Keke's right hand was held by Ben.

"Yes?"

"Don't come down, wait a minute..."

"What's wrong?"

Keke watched what Ben did. A white paper bag with the Ayodhya Gallery inscription opened and Ben took out a black box, opened it and pulled out a necklace from it. When he saw what was in Ben's hand, Keke rounded his eyes, his heart began to thump. For himself, is it?

"Here..."

Gentle Ben's voice, pulling Keke's body closer with a small smile on his face, Keke slowly drew closer and the pounding further penetrated his chest. Both of Ben's hands were raised over Keke's shoulders and Ben put the white gold necklace around Keke's neck. Keke looked down at the necklace pendant in Ben's hand, the initials of both of them. Ben ordered the necklace at the Ayodhya Gallery, one of the city's jewelry stores.

(Picture that is the necklace yes.permission yes, suppose help promo 🤪).

"Likes?"

"Yes, pretty..."

Shamefully Keke replied in a soft voice and slightly shook. Ben fixed the locket. Looks sweet after it is attached with sweetness on the neck of the sweet girl.

"Thank you brother..."

"Never be released?"

Keke nodded and gave a smile to Ben. The necklace had been perfectly coiled around Keke's neck. For Ben you could say it as a sign of ownership of a Benaya against his Rens. He wanted every man who saw Keke would know through the necklace, Keke was no longer alone, there was already an owner.

Love is not only because of the results of the crossbow shot of Cupido the Goddess Asmara, but something created by two people. If the man and the woman learn to create, then two people who like each other will master one of the most important and most beautiful skills in life, namely the skill of love. And Keke is learning that now.

Still looking at each other, the distance is still very close. Keke no longer shifted his gaze in an instant, he held his net in the black of Ben's eyes, something he found there, he said, twinkle the eyes of his brother Bensnya contains songs and rhythms and love poems for him. And his heart was burning now, there was a similar taste while dominating the recesses of his heart.

Ben took one kiss gently, something he always wanted to do. The response should be increasingly given the affirmation that they are close, have a special relationship, have each other. Ben's way is to give more and more friendly touch, because the brain of the Rens must be crammed with it to always understand who Ben in his life... Maybe Keke is not that late, yes, only his attitude is still difficult to get out of the old casing himself comfortable, so sometimes still stiff against Ben.

When Ben paused for a moment...

"Sister..."

Keke's voice was quietly full of shakes, holding back something beautiful that possessed him, but there was something else he should not ignore behind...

"What dear?"

"Kids..."

With reluctance Ben ended his desire who still wanted to add the duration of the kiss longer. Ben pulled a bit of his neck and looked back, looking towards the two boys who had already woken up.

"Mami Keke, is our campe (sampe)?"

"Yes, De..."

"Yica do not go down first yes.wait papi Bantuin get off the car.

"Yes. yeah... 🎶 Happy yes yes yes.. happy ye ye ye ye..."

Lisya sang happily in the backseat. After Ben helps the two boys get off the car high enough for them, Ben grabs Keke's hand and grabs it, walking after the children who have already run towards the house.

"Cool the air..."

"Yes, we're in the mountains right..."

The two throw smiles at each other, while the children are already screaming for Ramly's opa. On the terrace they stopped, the door was wide open but no one greeted them.

"Mami Keke..."

"Try it out again..."

The loud sound of the children unpretentious in front of the entrance echoed in the room. Soon aunt Noniek who Keke knew the cousin of papa Ramly appeared scattered.

"Oh.. there's Renske. let's go in. This is who's pretty..."

Aunt Noniek greets the kids. Lisya who was chatty and did not hesitate to chat with people who had just met answered...

"This is Yica, this is Pia's sister. it's Papi Bipi, it's Mami Keke..."

"Well smart... Yica's smart..."

"Not Yica, Yi... Ca"

Ben laughed, he remembered his introduction to Lisya first.

"His name is Lisya aunt..." Ben menukas's.

"Oh... Lisya huh?" Aunt Noniek looked at Lisya...

"Yes... Yica..." Lisya nodded her head.

Everyone laughed to hear Lisya who protested the mistake of the aunt's speech, even though she was the same.

"Is there, auntie?"

"There's in the room, Ramly's not well, just go in."

When calling yesterday papa did not say if he was sick again. Keke walked into his papa's room with a changed feeling, there was a growing sense of worry now for the father.

The spacious room was very clean and slick with the choice of furniture, in the middle there was a large bed and papa Ramly was lying on his back against the door under a thick blanket. Keke approached carefully observing for a moment as he circled the bed. Papa Ramly is closing his eyes. Keke looked at his papa face worriedly, looking pale and puffy. Keke did not want to disturb, just stay on the edge of the bed.

Maybe because it is not sleeping just close the eyes, not a long time the eyes are open.

"Ike. kiddo..."

"Papa.. just in..."

Keke sat on the edge of the bed when he saw that papa was struggling to sit down.

"Nothing, Papa's still a little limp, papa's blood sugar rises again..."

"Why not go to the doctor?"

"Yet..."

"To the doctor if that is so, Ike interra..."

"Yes. later yes... It's getting better..."

Papa Ramly looked at Keke with pleasure, feeling Keke's attention was different from receiving it from Noniek or Lody. Papa grabbed Keke's one hand.

"Papa's happy Ike's here."

Keke shifted his sitting position closer to his father who was already sitting leaning on the headboard of the bed.

"If the sugar is high quickly feel cape indeed. Papa's been attending some events this week, don't keep eating, so it's like this."

"Check up all by pa, thorough..."

"Yes, the plan is so. later to go to Manado, papa's personal doctor does not practice at Mount Maria Hospital anymore."

"Yes... Ike the one that goes?"

"Yes. papa does need to stay overnight, cape if straight home, practice hours at night. Papa's been there once, got a queue no 5, but it's over 10 o'clock, plus a cure, got here it's past midnight."

"Oh... Who at that time papa stopped by Ike's house?"

"Yes..."

"Why not talk?"

"Both Lody, you think there's no room..."

"Kan Rommel can move, papa and brother Lody can be in that room..."

"Yes. later if the control again. Rommel's kids are coming?"

"Yes, but Rommel's not coming."

"Why don't you call Lody to pick her up?"

"Send by Bens, pa."

"Oh so... Ike eat now yes, Noniek papa tell cook a lot of food..."

"Why have you eaten? Ike get?"

"May, ask Noniek..."

Papa Ramly seemed to get instantaneous strength when he found the anxiety on Keke's face. Keke came out of the room and was greeted by Yica...

"Where's opa?"

"There's inside, opa's sick."

"Yica Macuk can I watch Pia's sister?"

"May, greet the same opa but don't be noisy, just keep coming out again..."

"Yes. Kaka Pia, ayook..."

Keke looked for Benaya in the large room, his eyes catching Ben's shadow behind the large windowpanes, Ben on the side porch. Keke continued his steps to the dining room which was also so spacious. Aunt Noniek is setting the dining table.

"Tante.. Where's papa's food?"

"Oh.. a little aunt. Ramly wants to eat in the room again...?"

Keke noticed the room, there was a modern clean kitchen but it never seemed to be used. His heart was moved, one day wanting to cook in this papa house.

In the room, Via had a comfortable sleep on the sofa with a tv remote in his hand. Lisya was in bed talking to Papa Ramly. Keke placed a tray filled with food on a small round table near the bed. On that table is Papa Ramly's drug parlor.

"Pa.. eat first."

"Please get this desk over here..."

Papa shifted to the edge of the bed and lowered his legs. Keke held up the black table carefully. Lisya also moved and sat down near papa Ramly.

"Mami Keke, opa Lamly's opana Yica..."

"Yes... Dede, don't disturb the opa, the opa wants to eat..."

"Yica doesn't bother, Yica sits here..."

Keke looked towards his papa who was rubbing Yica's head. Lisya easily close to anyone, this time Ramly opa taped. Papa ate slowly, Keke pulled up a chair sitting observing his papa.

"You should eat too, you want this 1 o'clock..."

"Yes, I'll finish my meal..."

"Ike... The rest of the backyard in the shophouse that still has an old house, how many meters is it about?"

"That's about 8 feet pa, up to the fence of the back house wall."

"Papa has a plan to help Ike wake up, if Ike doesn't mind. Papa wants to add the room above, so it's more free if papa to Ike's house..."

"Oh..."

"Papa's house in Green Garden's estate is on the ring road, but Ike's cousin lives there."

"..."

"Allow?"

"Eh.. that's up. papa..."

Now Keke realizes there are people who mean something to him, are around him, and sometimes do something for himself or for the common good, like Ben, and now his papa.

"Papa's done, now you eat ya..."

"Yes opa, Yica lapal..."

"We stay, pa..."

.

After the meal, the children went back to Papa Ramly's room. Keke finished helping aunt Noniek, joining Ben who was back on the side porch.

"From here, brother?"

"Yes.likes the view."

Ben pulls Keke's hand and puts Keke's hand around his waist but does not let go of Keke's hand cupped with his fingers, one hand embracing Keke's shoulder. They enjoy the view of Manado city under a clear clear sky. Occasionally Ben gave a gentle kiss on the side of Keke's head that was parallel to his shoulder. Keke enjoyed the togetherness. The manisss afternoon.

Lody entered in a hurry, he was new from the warehouse to control the material loaded on several trucks that will go to Kalimantan by road trip, also to the port of Bitung to be sent to Sorong.

He looked for a long time at the side terrace...
