The Fate Or Destiny

Eps. 51. Need Accept?

Mama Talitha was circling the house from the ground floor to the top floor, watching her son's residence. The children scramble to tell stories with Ben on the couch upstairs, letting go of longing with their Bipi papi.

"Ben... Did you cook it yourself? Your cookware is complete..."

Mom said when she was on top again.

"I've just bought ma, but my mom wants to cook..."

"So... usually eat out huh you?"

"Rarely.mama knows myself I don't like eating at restaurants. I usually eat at Rens' house..."

"Ohh??"

That close they are?

"Where's Renske's house?"

"In front shop house ma.. on the left before turning here..."

"What is the blue door? It was close to yes..."

"Mom will see you later.we will go there..."

Mama Talitha did not answer. He had something to bring Renske, but his heart was still heavy to accept the fact his son was dating Renske. Mama was reluctant to meet, she had thought it was okay to meet, but it turned out that the possibility to meet Renske was very large. He realized he could not refuse again if Renske became the choice of Ben to be his wife, the reality of Rebecca's status made him resigned.

"Mosses, Matthew, take a shower first, I'm ready for pajamas. Papi also cape from the office earlier..."

"Yes. there go down, Papi Bipi wants to take a bath too..."

Ben stood up from the couch.

"Bipi, Matthew wants bobo..."

"Mosses too..."

"Eh... who's the same oma, whose own oma time is below?"

Oma Litha protested to her grandchildren, feeling sorry for the children who still miss their papi, but she was afraid of being alone in a place that was still unfamiliar to her.

"Tonight sleep with oma first yes, tomorrow night may sleep in the papi room Bipi, alternately. There's shower..."

Benaya went into his room. The Cape felt all over his body. Today was very busy and he went straight to the airport to pick up Mama Litha and her two pounders.

After the bath Ben went down...

"Mama still want to eat something?"

"No. that was enough. Mama's going to bed, cape..."

"Yes already. I'll go to Rens' house for a second..."

"What time's it?"

"I'm my brother's son. asked what time he came home..."

"Yes, not so. I mean mama..fear of mama falling asleep, no one opens the door..."

"No need to be locked. at the gate there are people, staff I also like to hang out there.. here is safe ma... I go yes..."

Mama Litha followed Ben's back away. The guess that passes now Ben every day to Renske's house. Mama Litha breathed heavily, her son was an adult not a child anymore to be directed, she had her own choice. Maybe Rens is a woman who is in the line of life of her child and only has to accept it.

Lody looked at the ceiling of his room. Is he free to choose who he will fall in love with? Whether getting love is like something that has been outlined from the beginning is in his life, in what way he comes, in which time they will meet, whoever the woman is... he only needed to accept because it was already outlined by an invisible force that was all-powerful. Or to get love needs struggle, needs a livelihood, needs effort...

Lody recalled meeting with Sifra, Manda, Leony, and some other names, this last one was Renske. Is it falling in real love? Or as Elon said, just a diversion. What about how he feels about Inge? Many things have been passed together, actually in the bottom of his heart he and Inge are not just close. With the others he just has fun then bored, but with Inge...

The door to his room was knocked. From the way and the sound of knocking Lody knew who the person behind the door was. Saturday and Sunday he still avoids Inge. But this afternoon he was taken by aunt Noniek. Aunty who became her mother all these years, she loved that figure, and did not want to fight it. Lody opened the door.

"Yes..."

Inge who was knocking had already walked into his room. Actually he was lazy to establish communication again, he did not understand Lody's attitude these few months. The last time they talked was during a visit to Keke's house on Keke's birthday. His body almost disappeared at the door of his room...

"Yes..."

Inge held back the door, standing around waiting for Lody to walk up to him. Their room is next door in this house.

Call still 'who' kayak emang really dear...

Lody asked shortly. Inge scrunched his forehead.

"Looks like what I need, you..."

Inge answered lazily and flatly, avoiding Lody's gaze.

"Eh. that's about papa's birthday. In Green Hills, the show has never been made there..."

"Yes, I'll prepare the place and the food."

"I've talked to Ike also for food..."

"Oh. That's good..."

Inge moves into the room, but the door is held by Lody...

"That's not finished..."

"What else??"

"You'll find us a uniform, please..."

"Yeah.I'm sleepy. And.. don't call me with that call again.strange! We have nothing to do!"

Inge said in a low voice while looking directly at Lody's eyes. He then pushed Lody's body blocking the door, and slammed the door. Lody was stunned, only now did Inge behave ketus even a little rude. And somehow there's a sense of discomfort infiltrating. Lody returned to the room still thinking about Inge's attitude.

.

In the morning, Lody and Inge meet at the dinner table. Papa Ramly had breakfast an hour earlier. At the table there are only aunt Noniek and Inge. The pretty-faced girl was eating while calling her employees, there was a reservation this afternoon at Green Hills. Lody sat beside Inge, followed by the astonished gazes of Inge and aunt Noniek. Lody had never sat with Inge at the dinner table for breakfast.

"Where's Ma Ade?"

Lody broke the silence between them.

"Just come out. Look at the bean harvest, he said."

"Why are you healthy?"

"Udah Ody.. want a matasapi egg?"

"Sir Ma Ade..."

Lody took 1 piece of boiled sweet corn, bowed in gratitude for a moment and began to enjoy his breakfast. His eyes glanced at Inge who had finished calling and was enjoying his cheese toast. Aunt Noniek thrusting a glass of chocolate milk in front of Lody.

"Thank you Ma Ade..."

Aunt Noniek just nodded but gestured to Lody with a finger pointing towards Inge who was now sipping his hot tea. Lody asked aunt Noniek's intentions without a sound, but just glared at Aunt Noniek, hand twitching, Lody interpreted that she should talk to Inge.

"When I find a uniform, I'll drop off."

Inge did not press, then quickly stood up to pick up his bag and headed for the garage.

"Yes..."

Lody raised the volume of the sound, but did not get an answer from Inge. From the glass window of Lody's kitchen saw Inge's yellow city car move backwards and disappear.

"Ody. You don't play with Inge's feelings, he's been patient enough all this time. For a long time he could have given up. Ody... Who else is the girl you're after?"

"Nothing, Ma Ade..."

"Ma Ade memorizes your behavior. You can't be like Inge if there are no other women, haduuuh Ody..."

Lody's down. Since yesterday Ma Ade hasn't stopped nagging him about Inge.

"You won't get a good girl like her again... Do you have feelings or not? You call her so sweet but your behavior doesn't fit."

"Ask yourself, if you can't change and can't love Inge completely, if you can't be serious with Inge, don't go near her anymore."

Lody raised his face. The sharp highlight of aunt Noniek makes him speechless can not refute or defend himself.

.

Love that brings happiness exists because there are a pair of women and men who are attracted to each other and try to make it happen. There are many possibilities that, two people just need encouragement and the desire to start, then happiness will come...
