The Fate Or Destiny

Eps. 58. Starting Something Right

Almost a week papa Ramly stayed at the shophouse. Papa wants to supervise the work of the artisans at the back of the shophouse that has begun to be built for 3 floors. The addition of this 8mx8m building is not only for the room papa Ramly will be. Keke just accept, because the condition of the old building is already less feasible.

Keke bought an extra mattress and put it in Rommel's room, papa slept with Rommel. Keke enjoys being with the father, serving from the moment he wakes up and sleeps again, it creates an inner joy for him. And. papa turned out to be a spoiled figure but Keke was happy because he felt needed the papa.

A few times Lody showed up but never stayed. Keke begins to feel at ease with Lody, believing her instincts that judge Lody's more sincere attitude now, make Keke more free to interact.

Finished dinner. Papa dadaulat Via helped the boy finish his PR. Just this week the boy entered school already there PR turned out. The little one is also in school and again has fun scribbling his book. The three of them are in the children's room now.

"Sister Lody doesn't feel it, it's night..."

"Father Ike.Pity Inge only two Ma Ade at home. Deket only part, at least an hour has already reached home..."

"Son Lody's got a car that likes speeding anyway..."

"Haha, like to sleepy if not speeding..."

Lody who was still sitting around the dining table looked up at Keke who had just finished cleaning the dining table.

"Ike.. Can you say something?"

Keke sat in front of Lody again...

"What brother?"

Lody bowed for a moment, his hand playing a toothpick at the table.

"Inge ever say anything not the same Ike?"

"Ehh... about you?"

"Yes..."

"Once, not much... "

"She.he doesn't want to be with you anymore..."

Lody said softly with a sad look. He tried to get close to Inge again, but Inge acted otherwise.

"Son Lody loves Inge?"

"Yes..."

"Well you talking about Lody's true feelings for Inge?"

"Not yet, she refused every time you spoke to me..."

"Inge once talked about your unclear status. Brother Lody has to say that first, let Inge be clear about that."

"Mmh. Brother asked for help yes. said Inge..."

"Ehh.. when it comes to the feeling of talking to yourself. women prefer to hear the confession themselves from the mouth of the man she likes..."

"Is that so? But what if Inge doesn't want to see brother's face..."

"There must be a way, sure and effort too."

"That's yeah... Mmh.. big brother yes..."

"Take a klappertart for a cafe..."

"Oh... Would you sell it there too?"

"Inge asked for sis..."

"Oh that's good. Brother wants to go to papa first..."

Lody went to the children's room. Better as this turns out, feel Keke's acceptance for her more than ever. He almost made a mistake with his previous unguided desire, the intention of approaching Keke just for a bad habit of having fun. There are good times and right people God sends to make someone stop doing irresponsible things. Lody felt it was time to be right, and Keke was like someone sent for him to reflect and make him straight and mature.

Papa Ramly exits the room with Lody later...

"Don't speed.be careful with the car..."

"Yes pa... Lody's gone yeah..."

"Sister. klappertartnya is on the table in the store, asked Rommel yes which one... Careful brother..."

"Yes.tip papa ya..."

Lody embraced Keke for a moment then went down. Keke gave a knotty smile, feeling the affectionate demeanor of a sister. Papa Ramly sits on the couch, Keke comes sitting next to papa.

"Yet. Ben rarely comes here?"

"It's busy he said, he wants to finish all the work well."

"What date did you choose?"

"The date is 8 pa. it coincides with Sunday."

"It has to be at papa's house...?"

"Yes pa.. here also messy right.. again a lot of building materials everywhere."

"Ike... Ike has to tell mama.. have mama present, this is an important event for Ike..."

Keke fell silent and lowered his head. All this time he was reluctant to communicate with his mother, knowing the news only from Rommel. I don't know why the pain is always felt every time you remember your mom.

"Guin..."

Papa read something from Keke's silence.

"Ike, we're both a lot wrong with Ike. But just like papa who does not stop loving Ike even though Ike is not with papa. mama is also the same Ike. mama must love her children."

Keke still has no voice.

If mama loves, why did mama choose to marry again and let her own children, there are grandchildren mama also. No matter, don't want to know how her children survive. If you come, bring your own problems. Selfish mom.

"Guin..."

"..."

"Ike.. tell mama yes..."

"Do not pa. papa is enough for Ike..."

"Ke.. mama must be sad when she found out Ike was engaged but mama was not involved..."

"Let's just pa.. all this time also mama did not care when Ike was sad. My mother never did for me. Since long ago pa.. when Ike refused to be taken by mami, cry, even Ike was beaten to a snarl, Ike still remembered it pa... When back here too, where mama cares about the needs of Ike, Ike find his own money pa, mama is busy with her new husband. Ike should take care of Rommel too. Mama told Boni to work, but the kids stay here... Ike who takes care of everything.where ever mama came bring something, where ever mama came when the children were sick. Ike... Ike. always alone pa... Mama never loved Ike.. hikss... hikzz..."

Keke covered his face with both hands, what had been neatly stored in a corner of his heart finally spilled in front of papa Ramly with his cries. Keke who was strong and long never showed his emotions in front of people, now from the moment he met Ben then met papa, Keke so often crying.

Papa grabbed Keke leaning the fragile body in his arms. Guilt also rippled through the man's chest. His mistake in the past was like spinning again and smashing into his heart. He couldn't blame his wife, he who felt the most guilty, and it hurt to know that there were many difficult years that his beloved daughter passed. Struggling alone, with responsibilities he shouldn't have shouldered. He only saw Keke now. Papa Ramly was crying too... Hugs him blur.

"I'm sorry, dear papa, most guilty papa here. forgive papa son..."

Long ago their cries subsided. Papa still rubbed his dear son, on the head, on the back, carrying all the affection in the swab. Hugs unraveled the papa...

"Ike. kiddo..."

Papa helped Keke dry the tears, then dried the tears himself.

"Ike listen to papa ya..."

Keke just looked into his papa's eyes.

"Ike should know one important thing, mama's dear Boni, Ike and Rommel. That's for sure, even though Mama can't show you that. Papa sure mama must know your mistake, mama must also feel guilty for ignoring you, maybe even being punishing herself, feeling inexcusable by her children. Maybe every time you come here and see you there's guilt and guilt."

"Papa little know the family of the mother who now, it turns out that in the house the mother lived with her husband's children and grandchildren as well, not just her husband. If you are indifferent to children, but there is no oma who does not miss his grandson, you immediately fall in love with Livia and Lisya. Mama must have been, but mama didn't feel good coming here even though she missed you all."

"Ike.. give the opportunity to mama is also close to Ike yes. If the mama is away, try Ike who came to approach the mama. surely mama will not refuse Ike. papa still remember very well how dear mama Boni and Ike, Ike, it doesn't change Ike just hidden this time..."

Keke was crying again. Now he sat leaning against the sofa while looking at his locked hands. Keke recalled his cold attitude towards mama whenever mama came to visit. Maybe that also makes mama reluctant to come often and as papa said earlier, making mama feel more guilty.

When we are reluctant to start something right, we will never fix what is wrong. If forgiveness is not something that is difficult to do, then people will not know the meaning of their own mistakes. Open the door to forgiveness for others, because before he apologized for sure he had fought desperately with his ego to admit his mistake ~author~
