The Fate Or Destiny

Eps. 71. What is the Most Dominating?

Mama Virda appeared again in the shophouse this time without a smile and just nodded her head at Keke's employees in the kitchen, she had to pass them in the kitchen before going upstairs. Earlier in front of Rommel had told him that Keke was upstairs.

Beside the stairs there is a door to a new room that has been completed, Virda's mother caught the shadow and the voice of her ex-husband, seen watching the handyman who was installing a closet on the wall.

With an awkward step, Mama Virda went upstairs. He had already come here planning to stay, looking at the home clothes Ramly was wearing he must have been staying over as well. She did not want to stay at her husband's house.

"Guin..."

Keke who was tidying up the packaging box for the cake order turned to the mama who held a cream color tote bag that looked filled. The bag that she often sees you bring here first, a sign that you will stay a few days.

"Ma... yourself?"

"Yes..."

Mama looked doubtful, and finally put her bag near the stairs.

"Mama just stopped by, mama's coming home later. Kangen children..."

Mama smiled covering up the real intent of her arrival. He decided not to stay overnight, there was Ramly here, it was not something good for him, uncomfortable of course, later forced to go back to Pondang after meeting his beloved grandchildren.

"The kids are still at school."

"Where is their school? Did mama pick them up?"

"No, there's a shuttle car. Their school is quite far from here..."

"Oh. Mama wait for them, after that mama came home. Um... Mama help?"

Mama picked up some unformed dus and sat down in front of Keke.

"No need ma.. It's enough, Ike only need five."

Keke could guess the dilemma of the mother. Mama's face looks tense, although she was smiling but looks very forced.

"Ma.. nginap aja. mama should make it a habit to stay here even though there is papa..."

"Eh.. It's not like that Ike..."

Mama careless of the intention of the heart and the reason is known to the child.

"Papa must be happy to have a mama..."

Keke's little smile looked at the mama who was misbehaving. If you were alone she would be the first to push papa and mama together again. Mama Virda implicitly admits to being unhappy with her current husband, but mama's desire to be faithful to her current marriage leaves Keke harboring her heart's deep desires. Right now he was happy enough that the two of them could be on good terms as his parents, always by his side.

"The mama is not calm..."

"We're going to talk, but be prepared, I'm sure you want to talk to both..."

Keke hid his smile.

"Ike.. mama doesn't want to be like that..."

"Ma, don't avoid papa. But you have to keep reminding me that mama's the wife of people, if not..."

"Ikeee...."

"Joking, maa.. hence do not strain hehe. This time I have to hide..."

"But Ike..."

"Ma.. papa can't bite..."

"Come ahh..."

"Please calm down ma. Mama must be comfortable for a long time, mama knows papa right? Papa must also respect the status of the mother. at most keceplos honey-honey doang, hehehe..."

"That's what makes you uncomfortable..."

Keke laughed considering how papa Ramly still called mama friendly, arguing how if mama is not the wife of people huh?

Keke was just trying to relieve the discomfort of the mother, trying to comfort her mother. Keke knew clearly, mama came with a tote bag means his condition is not good. She didn't care, now she knows what it's like to be Virda's mom. It's confusing actually entertaining others when they need someone to come comforting him.

Keke is actually having trouble handling his own heart especially he read wa from Ben, this afternoon he has landed. He was tense the entire time, all sense of being face to face in his heart and mind. A great anger versus a great longing, which one dominates his heart the most?

"Honey..."

That name, papa Ramly appeared on the stairs. He was told Keke's employees that his ex-wife had come to visit. After Keke's show three months ago, they never met again.

"Honey... Just arrived?"

Ishh the papa... who would not melt his heart called friendly like that, omg papa Ramly, can not change the call as requested by mama Virda?

Mama stared for a moment and immediately turned her face away. The hue of the face has changed, I don't know what. Nervous and tense, mother did not answer. Keke who watched his mom and dad with reactions each smiled with a million flavors. True to his guess, the spark of pleasure that briefly appeared on papa's face shows how deep papa's love until now.

Papa sat down next to Keke and looked at the ex-wife who was in a state of self-control.

"Pa, mama wants to stay here..."

Keke mediates the ongoing flow of emotional turnover between the ex-husband and his wife, as well as telling papa about the intention of the arrival of the mother, also so that the mother does not cancel her intention.

Mama Virda did not say, this is the real home for her, but she could not talk about it or open up to Ramly or Keke. She could not explain the pain she had felt for so many years, when she made the wrong decision to leave her husband, the next moment of wrongdoing occurs when she is stuck repaying a debt of gratitude in the wrong way to a man who then leaves her shortly after finding out she is pregnant with Rommel, who is, and the mistake others consider remarrying is the solution to financial difficulties first.

Mama Virda is embarrassed if her ex-husband knows her true state, so she tries to display her stubbornness in order to keep a piece of her remaining image.

"Why eat now?"

"Yes. yeah, Ike set it up."

Keke took plates, spoons and forks for his parents.

"Well... What time do the kids come home?"

Mom asked as her feelings began to get under control.

"A little more ma, the Dede was actually finished from an hour ago, but he was waiting for Via."

"Oh.. pity dong Dede had to wait a long time..."

"Nothing ma, all this time he enjoys, he feels at home even longer in the classroom many toys he said..."

"Come, eat..."

Papa Ramly starts immediately when the food is ready at the table. Mama noticed the food menu the ex-husband took, guessing something but limiting himself to asking. Mama Virda enjoys lunch in silence.

Keke stood up and approached the mother's tote bag near the stairs.

"Mama's bag, Ike take it in the room, okay? Mama slept in Ike's room..."

"Later Ike.. eat first.." sergeant mama did not want to be left alone with papa Ramly.

"I'm not hungry..."

"Ke. Papa watch Ike eat irregularly, Ike curusan loh now..."

"Slim..."

Keke glanced at his waist and looked at his hands.

"You're really skinny, baby..."

A calm, clamorous voice rang out on the left side, the large hand instantly grabbed onto Keke's body, and tightly carried Keke into a hug. One long kiss felt on the top of the head. Keke who was unprepared to fight and in a situation that did not allow to be angry, was momentarily glued under the mastery of that sturdy arm.

An aggressive attitude of a Benaya in the presence of prospective in-laws, Ben who immediately snatched an opportunity to uncover a longing that had been so stifling his body especially his soul. Hugging the body again has been playing in his mind for so many hours, longing to pursue the affection of his beloved and bring the lover to explore again the longing room that had been neglected.

Some time in Ben's embrace, Keke then realized the whereabouts of his parents immediately tried to escape.

"Om... aunt... How are you?"

"Ben..we're good..."

Papa Ramly replied short. Just yesterday he talked about Ben who needs to come, the guy has appeared here. She worries about delaying their marriage if Ben doesn't show up soon.

Ben took off the backpack on his back and put it next to Virda's mama bag. Keke followed with the tail of his eyes and soon realized something, he immediately grabbed the mama bag and quickly headed for his room as well. It turns out that teaching mama to be calm and ordinary when facing papa is easy. But getting yourself to be mature to Ben is so hard.

Ben followed with a smile, he had expected the reaction, it was okay for Keke to be stiff again and put up the old wall, the most important thing is that his longing has been channeled even if only for a moment to feel the body that he misses so much.

"Let's go eat Ben... honey, can you get Ben a plate?"

"No, let me take it myself....

Ben's headed for the storage cabinet, he's already memorized where the dishes are. It was impossible to wait for Keke to prepare, he was sure Keke would not show up in the dining room.

.

Whatever begins, communication must be built for the harmony of a relationship.

Ben. said brother readers:

You must be patient...

You are busy do not ignore the chat or call Keke, if you can not type there is a voice note right, just need to squeeze the mic doang...

Open learning with Keke... Keke too, do not run to Ben's bedroom, groggy he ate the same three-in-law...
