The Sun Becomes a Star
Don't Be Tired of Being Papa May
“You've already made a decision May. I think you should take responsibility. Papa you didn't raise you to be a coward instead?” imelda said as I started talking to her about my conversation with Kevin. I haven't talked to Imelda for a long time. With another part of me.
“I think so too,” I said. Open – open my textbook.
“May, don't you want to talk to your Papa ?”
“Chat how do you mean?”
“Chat about a moon that is shining beautifully!” Imelda was a bit sewot, then rolled – bolsters on the pillow like a young child who was tantrum again.
“Well chat about Aaron lah!” he said after he finished his tantrum.
“Interest is actually Imelda. But I won't be able to talk about it frankly. I understand if not will the tone of parents who want their children dating the same junky. Maybe just tell her that I now have a boyfriend ..”
“Why don't you say everything ? I think it would be better ...” Imelda crossed to her two front legs. Sit on a pillow.
“If Papa finds out my boyfriend is a drug addict. His overprotection attitude will recur. And finally, I won't get permission to date. You know khan, Aaron was my first girlfriend. I love him too. I hope that in line with time, he knows that he does not need drugs, but it's just me and my love,” I smile – smile of my own with my words. But love is sweet. If I remember sata – when I was with Aaron, I wanted to smile. I feel like I'm a different person, I feel like I've found a soul patch.
“Indeed why the hell is May, you must have permission to date ?” the naughty – tortoise broke my daydream about Aaron, and our love for both of us.
“Because after all I have the heart of Imelda. Part of my heart belongs to Papa. If Papa does not like and does not give permission, my heart will certainly not feel calm. Papa is a very important person for my life. But now, at this age, I also understand that there is a part of my heart that belongs to someone else.I don't want to have to choose between Papa and Aaron. I will definitely choose Papa and leave Aaron, and it will break my heart a lot.”
Imelda let out a long sigh, “I understand that,” Imelda crawled through my bed.
At that moment I heard Papa's motorcycle entering the house.
“There in May ?” I shouted Papa from the living room.
“Iya Pa ...” I went out to see Papa who smelled of sweat after the trip Surabaya – Malang.
“We eat out yuk !”
“Papa don't want to shower first?”
“No need for May. It feels like we haven't eaten together outside for a long time,”
I rode on Papa's motorcycle. This old bike Papa has had a long time. Although Papa can buy new, but Papa really likes this bike. Papa said, too many memories with this bike. If Papa sells this bike, it's the same as releasing memories of – memories. I'll tell Aaron not to sell his big bike either. The motorbike has been credited to take us both there – here dating time. Maybe this is what is said to be in love, everything is always connected – connect with people we love. Cweeeettttt.
Papa's motorcycle pierced the cold air of Malang city. We passed the – way street in the city which is widely sprinkled with lights of various colors, – stores that roll out discounts and tiled pedestrians fill the sidewalk. We went to our favorite places. Convetti's. Convetti is not big, small and the visitors are not too crowded. But we both really like it.
“You order whatever you like,” Papa is being kind. Rarely – rarely Papa can be this good.
“What is Pa? Later if May orders a lot Papa broke how?” i joke.
“Order any little miss. Papa was happy today,” Papa looked at me with a smile.
“There must have been something special until Papa brought May here ..” I asked suspiciously. Don't – don't, Papa is married to Aunt Nina without my knowledge.
“Not Papa, but you May,”
“Means Papa ?”
“There is something special with you so Papa bring you here ..”
“May ngaku's. May already has a boyfriend ..”
“Cowok you told me the other day ..”
“Iya,” I can't wait to hear Papa's opinion.
“You are already an adult May. It doesn't feel like you're this big. Must have been a lot that Papa missed all this time,” Papa looked at me in the shade. Papa hasn't looked at me like that in a long time. When I was a kid, Papa used to look at me like that. But when we same – equally busy, very rarely we have the same time – the same.
“Looks like, he's a good guy. I mean Papa .. after you failed to get his Brother, Papa hope you do not date him just as compensation ..”
“Ih .. Papa's. May khan dating don't want to play – main,”
“Betul May, dating not play – main. But you have to remember that you are still very young. Don't think too much that he is the only – guy in the world. Your world still stretches free for you to live,”
“Papa not angry khan ?”
“For what Papa is angry. After all in fact Papa is also dating khan ..” our order is coming. I ordered ice cream and salad. Just like Papa.
“Papa know khan if in fact it is still difficult for May to receive Aunt Nina. But Papa should also know that May is trying to accept him..”.
“Papa knows May. You're a good boy. Papa knows you'll try to understand Papa. Nina is a good person. Papa is very confident in Papa's feelings,”
“May understand. Does that also mean that Papa has forgotten ehm .. Mama May ?” Papa paused for a moment with his food.
“It's hard to say. Your mother is a special woman. But Papa thinks we met at the wrong time. If only we were mature enough and wiser, it wouldn't be like this.” Papa sighed as his eyes glared.
“Papa did not expect that this day had arrived. Little Princess Papa now has a boyfriend,” Papa rubbed his eyes.
“Papa dear May ?”
“No need Papa say that,”
“May also wants Papa to be happy. If Papa is sure, do not have to wait too long if Papa wants to marry Aunt Nina ..”
“Papa still waiting for the right moment May,”
“Papa ..”
“Yah .. ?”
“Don't be tired so Papa May well ..”
