The Love of Kalila

My son, your son

Mr. Marlon, Aunt Henny, and Lila enter Marcel's room. The three are shocked to see Marcel accompanied by Rudi beside his mattress. They looked at Marcel's reddish face as if he had just cried.

"Ah, is speaking from heart to heart apparently." muttered Mr. Marlon in heart.

"Why you, baby? A friday? How does it look bad?" ask aunt Henny worried.

"It's okay, ma." Marcel replied, looking at Aunt Henny. Then he turned his gaze to Lila who was still pensive in her place.

Sindi. Since Marcel said Sindi would return, somehow Lila became more silent and seemed to avoid her.

"My medicine where's Kalila? I haven't eaten the medicine finished breakfast." said Marcel melt the atmosphere. Disguise the situation so that his parents do not think strangely.

"Sir, come out yuk. Nguddud. My mouth is stale, I don't smoke. Here can not smoke." said om Rudi gave a sign to Mr. Marlon to speak together.

"Daritadi also has been smoking om," Marcel chirped trying slurried.

"Sst ah," hardik om Rudi to Marcel who leaked.

"Papa smoking here? I said doctor yes. Doctor!!!" shout Lila.

"Yes sorry, sorry. I've gone with Marlon first." Om Rudi held Marlon's shoulder and stepped out of the room together.

"Basic cannot be an example of society!" chirp Lila also tried slurping in front of Aunt Henny.

The middle-aged men picked a breakfast stall right in front of the hospital and hung out there.

Coffee and tea. Cigarettes and matches, also complete. Steady.

"What are you talking to my son?" asked Mr. Marlon to start while sipping a hot sweet tea that hesitates he touched.

"Nothing. Just giving advice as an older person." Reply om Rudi also sipped his coffee.

"Hmm." dehem, Mr. Marlon.

"I already know the story about your son." said om Rudi again opened the discussion.

Deg. Mr. Marlon was silent. The story of Marcel according to him is the weakness of his family in the eyes of the people. Moreover, Rudi is a stranger and only a few days in this city.

"How do you know?"

"My brother-in-law told me a story. Bang Joni was silent. But he's watching everything that's going on between my son and your son." said Rudi.

While Mr. Marlon quietly heard the story of Rudi.

"I don't have a problem with your son's past. My wife did too. Provided they really had a clear connection and Marcel ended his status clearly as well." Om Rudi sipped another coffee. Occasionally smoking a cigarette that he clasps between the index and middle fingers.

"That's the advice I told your son." added om Rudi answered the anxiety of the look on Mr. Marlon's face.

"You know, Rud. Marcel's wounds were family wounds, too. I didn't dare leave the house in shame."

"Don't tell me that! If the one who should be ashamed is your son. He was much more psychologically disadvantaged. He's able to survive it's good. Just haven't gotten guidance yet." sloroh om Rudi.

"Well that's it. I'm tired of giving it to him, too. Until my relationship with him is tenuous." regret Mr. Marlon.

"But it's okay now, right?" ask Rudi teasing.

"Well, thanks to your son." Mr. Marlon's smile returned to sip his tea.

"Huh, the children now are still inexperienced but as if they already know the contents of the world. Wonderful." lamented om Rudi glared towards the hospital. The sentence was addressed to Marcel and Lila who had both been injured. "More than love problems. If you remember how hard Lila was, you wanted me to hit a boy. Just pity, only child."

"Just be honest. I like your son." said Mr. Marlon staring softly at om Rudi.

Om Rudi is too. He felt a genuine sense of parenting from his eyes. However, afraid of getting carried away, Rudi tried to melt the atmosphere jokingly. "Ulus. You're old still dare to play with young leaves? Your wife wants to flap?"

Mr. Marlon laughed instead of being angry. "Crazy. My wife is still so pretty where I might throw her."

"My son is also beautiful." praised Rudi.

"Yes knows. That's why I said I liked your son. As my daughter-in-law." obviously Mr. Marlon was afraid there was a misunderstanding that would be arrested om Rudi again. "It's not really because of her beauty. But your son can bring change to my son and my family. You see, my wife really likes your son."

Om Rudi nodded in agreement. Some days he knew the Marcel family, he was so amazed to see aunty Henny who did not take a second off his attention from Lila.

"We knew from the beginning that Lila was Dhika's family. At first, our hearts were burning with anger. But as time went on, we saw Marcel slowly changing, getting better and better every day since he knew Lila. That's where our hearts melt. Especially since being brought to our house back then, your son has been so much fun and soothing to us."

"If I regret it a little, I don't welcome that time." chuckle Mr. Marlon.

Om Rudi digested the words. Then he let out a long sigh as a consolation of his disheartened self on the fate of the princess.

"Well, let's just trust the kids. There's all a way. I believe Marcel will choose the best for him, with no or with my son. We parents can do what if the one above wills." Om Rudi pointed towards the clouds.

"Well... I hope everything's okay. Including Lila is fine too."

"Looks difficult. Persuading the boy took a long time. After knowing he was rejected Marcel I had to try hard to persuade him with all my might." joked om Rudi again.

And the rest of their conversation was filled with laughter. The comfortable feeling of chatting was out of nowhere the two felt. They are still very strange and never know each other.

After the three parents left, Lila and Marcel again awkward in this fairly spacious room.

"Don't need anything? Of water? Or want a snack?" asked Lila with soft eyes.

Marcel's heart rippled as soon as he looked into those eyes. I want him to dive in there and enjoy it. It must have been filled with tears.

"You look tired. Take a break" said Marcel cupped Lila's face gently and stick his pointed nose into Kalila's nose that was no less sharp.

"I'm okay." Blushes. Lila's face blushed.

A smile was on Marcel's face. Genuine smile. It was no longer the clumsy smile that these few days were shown to Lila.

"What did you say to me?" search Lila. Because since Marcel spoke with his father, Marcel's face became grim and more silent.

"Md. You know what?" marcel Goda.

"Jaudah is okay. Think of it as what papa said the wind then." said Lila ketus.

"Wind and what. What I said was right. I just need some time. Can you wait patiently?" Marcel grabbed Lila's hand and squeezed her tight and carried her to the chest of her field.

"Sister don't be good gini. Just treat me as usual so that I can calmly accept your decision." said Lila Lirih lowered her head. Received Marcel who clasped tightly to his hand.

"What is my treatment? I was never rude. Besides..." Marcel was stunned and laughed at his entire attitude towards Lila first. "First time em-el." Lila's Whispe.

On, lila's fur is goosebumps. Soon he smothered Marcel's venomous mouth so he wouldn't go further to talk about vulgarity in the hospital.

"Silence ah." jolted Lila.

Marcel held Lila's hand on his lips. He kissed the cold palms. Stuck that hand to her cheek to share the warmth.

"Udah ah, I want to fill the water first. Lunch brother's soon." hardik Lila who went outdoors while carrying tumblr drinks Marcel.
