THE FORTUNATES
IT'S NOT AN EASY THING
It was almost dark that day when Beatrice left the airport building, she headed for the taxi counter. As usual, he stopped by his parents' house when he returned from traveling. Despite living in the same city, Beatrice chose to rent a boarding room not too far away with her work place that was accessible by foot. The distance of the office with his parents' house is quite far, forty minutes if taken by public transportation. Beatrice felt quite overwhelmed if she had to go back and forth – from home to office every day, so she decided to look for a boarding room close to the office.
“ Mother, I came “ greet Beatrice as she entered their relatively modest home, when compared to the home of Kendrick's parents.
“ How was your holiday ? “ asked her Mother when she saw her Eldest Princess go into the room.
“ Not as fun as if I went with Kath mom, where is she? “ Beatrice looks at her Mother's face.
“ She still has a teaching schedule, take a shower first to lose your fatigue “ then Mother Beatrice leaves her daughter's room and heads to the kitchen.
Beatrice is confused as to where she should start from, she must tell ‘ her relationship’ with Kendrick to her family, before Kendrick comes to see her parents to introduce herself and ‘melamar’ Beatrice plans. It felt like Beatrice could not afford to lie to them, they were used to being open to each other. Would they believe if Beatrice told you this? Beatrice riled, she was afraid that – if she actually made a noise arise in her family.
“ Ah already “ murmured while heading to the bathroom to clean yourself.
The night when Kath was home they all watched TV together in the family room, their father smiled – small smile when he saw the comedy show that night. Kath leaned her head against her mother's thigh, while Beatrice sat on the couch opposite her father.
“ Dad, Mom there is something I want to say “ he said arrived – arrived.
“ Seriously you're Kak “ Kath chimed in on Beatrice, and made her laugh stiffly.
“ Father, Mother, Kath honestly I have a boyfriend and he proposed to me yesterday “ said Beatrice clumsily making them all flabbergasted in astonishment.
“ Hahaha where's the girlfriend from? Brother does not have a girlfriend “ giggles sound crisp from the mouth of Kath. It's true Kath, Beatrice does not have a boyfriend but it's true yesterday there was a man begging Beatrice to marry him.
“ Who Be? “ Dad's voice sounds heavy.
“ To be honest I have a boyfriend for a year recently Dad, indeed I never told anyone. He lives in the town I visited yesterday, and he took me to his parents. His parents then wanted us to marry Dad, he's Kendrick Leandro“ said Beatrice softly and sounding perfect does not arouse suspicion.
“ Hahaha, are you dreaming? Hahahaha “ Kath laughs getting louder.
“ Kath I'm serious “ Beatrice's tone sounds a bit high. Then Beatrice grabbed her cellphone lying on the desk, and handed it to Kath. There is a photo of Beatrice with the Kendrick family, a photo they took on the sidelines – between dinner yesterday.
Boom!
Kath dropped Beatrice's HP on the sofa, seen Kath gawking unable to say – words after seeing the photo, he seemed to not believe what he just saw. Beatrice's mother grabbed the HP from the sofa and saw it, Their mother was as surprised as Kath.
“ Why have you never told this Be? “ ask his mother.
“ I just don't want to cause noise Mom, I don't want to be exposed by the media and I don't want many people to think that not – is not about I bu “ Beatrice trying to explain.
“ We are your parents Be, do you not trust that to us? “ refute his mother later.
“ Brother, this is not because of the scandal, is it? “ review Kath firmly.
“ Not Kath, even far – long before the news appeared Ken had invited me to marry “ Sergah Beatrice.
“ Be, Dad never forbid you to be in a relationship with anyone. Dad never forbid you to choose any man – whom you love son. Just, find a guy who's worth you. He's too far away to be able to walk parallel to us son “ his father's voice vibrates. Beatrice was very understanding of her father, she never once forbade her children to do what they liked. Her father has always supported Beatrice and Kath in achieving all their dreams, her father never harassed them about finding a boyfriend, but this time his father refused Ken. It was clear from the eyes of Beatrice's father that she was very worried.
“ Be, Dad just don't want to see Daddy's little daughter get hurt. Consider good – well Be, are you willing to live with it? “ connect his father again.
“ True Beatrice, she is a public figure who is very adored by many people. While we're ordinary Beatrice, it's not that I want to keep you from getting happiness. Just this won't be easy for you and for us Beatrice. “ Mother Beatrice chiming. Beatrice could only sigh as she did not know what to explain, while she promised Ken to convince her parents. But the response of Father and Mother seems quite objected.
“ Right Brother, will good – be fine? “ says Kath while holding Beatrice's shoulder.
“ Father, Mother, Kath I know this will be difficult to pass will not be easy to hide from the outside world. Ken promised to keep our privacy Dad, and I thought there was no need to throw a festive party for our wedding “ Beatrice tried reassuringly.
“ Be, for Dad it is not a matter of festive or not his party that you will do. Dad is only worried about your life after the wedding “ Beatrice stares fixed in his father's eyes, he knows his father doesn't want him to get hurt.
“ Father, Father is the one who always trusts me with all your heart, Father never hesitates over what is my choice. So this time Dad, please keep believing me that everything will be good – fine until the end. There's nothing for Dad to worry about. Ken loves me so much Dad, the Ken family also accepts me so well, they're warm. “ Beatrice tries getting harder.
“ Dad knows you very well Be, you will not decide everything without thinking about the risks. Dad understands you very well Be, not because Dad does not trust Daughter Dad so behave this way, because Dad knows this is not an easy thing to go through Beatrice “ This time Her father is wrong, because Dad knows this is not easy to go through, this time is not like Beatrice on – days usually, when receiving Kendrick's invitation to ‘married’ he even only takes a few minutes to give an answer ‘iya’. This was the biggest decision Beatrice ever made in her entire life.
Her father who is usually quite soft tonight feels difficult to persuade, as well as her equally hard mother. The four of them just sit quietly with their minds still – still in the midst of the boisterous sound of TV that is still on.
“ Brother, whatever makes you happy as long as there is the blessing of Father and Mother I will always support you “ sound Kath disperse the reverie of Beatrice.
“ Take the Man to see Daddy Be “ then his Dad gets out of his seat and leaves them all in the family room.
“ Does he really love you Beatrice? “ Mother Beatrice's voice began to sound shortly after her father entered the room.
“ And do you love her sincerely? “ connect her mother before Beatrice gives an answer.
“ Don't you know Brother Beatrice? Until you doubt her sincerity? “ by Kath defending Beatrice.
“ Ma'am, he took me to his family. Without covering anything up she introduced me to her parents and her brother. Is that not to be interpreted as sincerity ma'am? I never expected anything from our relationship Mom, just being by my side was enough bu “ Beatrice tried to convince her mother.
“ Be, of course you know marriage is not something to be played with. Once you've entered into a marriage there's no way to back off until death separates Be “ says – says his mother keeps Beatrice raging. Guilt gnawed at Beatrice's heart, feeling sinful for lying to her mother as well because she toyed with the sacred promise of marriage with a fake marriage.
“ Ma'am, only your prayers can keep Beatrice going. “ Beatrice hugs her Mother, and she knows her mother has softened.
“ Because this all won't be easy Be, too much difference between you and him. Between your family and his family “ said his mother while gently rubbing the back of her eldest daughter.
