There is No Need for Love

Meet Natalia's Mother

Haris day has to change completely, so far wear clothes that as he pleases now no longer can, as a teacher Haris must maintain a good image in front of his students who are very critical, he said, Haris must position himself as an example that should be admired and imitated. What does not change is Haris' schedule that continues to enter the campus, not to study of course, but to meet his lover Natalia.

“ Brother from school ?”.

Haris nods his head. “ Hungry nih, eat first yok “.

“ Where to Bang ?”.

“ Come. Later think about “.

Natalia did not answer, she immediately took Haris' hand and stepped towards the cafeteria which was not within’ so far from the front of Natalia's room. Indeed very hungry, Haris immediately ate and did not talk much.

“ Where has Li been ? still no lecture ?”.

Natalia shakes. “ Upturned Bang “.

“ Where are we?”.

Natalia thinks like. “ To Home Bang “.

“ Can “.

Haris smiled and nodded his head. Haris felt the need to get to know Natalia's parents as well. Their love must be known by Natalia's parents, Haris also feels it is very important.

“ Now ?”.

“ Can “.

Natalia and Haris immediately left the cafeteria after paying for what she ate, Haris called a taxi and they headed for Natalia's house, all the way there was no sound heard from either of them, it seems like each one has a particular tension.

This is the first time Haris set foot in Natalia's house, Mama Natalia who opened the door smiled and told the two to enter. But Haris was quite surprised, Natalia said Mama Batak, but seeing the half-old woman, there was no smell of Batak on the face. Haris went in and sat down in front of Mama Natalia, and Natalia went straight to the kitchen to drink, there was only Natalia and her mother, there was no maid.

“ Whose name is ?”. Mama Natalia asked to start the conversation.

“ Harris Bu “.

“ Haris, full ?”.

“ Haris Arianda “.

Mama Natalia was a bit surprised to hear Arianda, there are special memories for Mama Natalia with the name Arianda, but only briefly. Mama Natalia smiled again when Natalia arrived and put the drink in front of Haris and Mama.

“ Stay here ?”.

“ Cost Bu “.

“ O.. Her parents where ?”.

“ Bandar Lampung “.

Mama Natalia's mind that was so strong filled her brain and immediately extinct immediately after hearing the name Bandar Lampung. His memories were not at all in the Capital of the Province, Mama Natalia did not know much about the City, never stopped at all in that City, he said, Mama Natalia only once passed there, even decades ago, the first time to come here.

“ But Brother Haris Batak lho Ma “. Cursed Natalia.

Mama Natalia looked back at Haris. “ Batak ?”.

Haris nods his head. “ I have Marga Bu “.

“ What price ?”.

“ Pulungan “.

Mama Natalia who had changed her face a little now no longer have a change, the clan made her chest that had been vibrated now calm, her face even turned brightah, and so on, Mama Natalia obviously never had a special relationship with the clan.

“ There are plans to go home ?”.

Haris shakes. “ Ngga’ rich’nya Bu, here only. After work Bu “.

Haris smiles. “ As per Department Bu, So Teacher “.

Mama Natalia smiled. “ His name is also a teacher's school, yes Finish being a teacher dong, the past being an architect “.

Haris smiled. “ Is So Bu “.

“ So stay here yes, after all already working to do in “.

“ Yes no’ Ma, stay here aja, anyway will still wait Lia “. Natalia immediately hugged her mother from the side, Mama Natalia just a smile.

Mama Natalia looked at Haris closely, although there were others in her heart Mama Natalia tried to keep her off. Mama Natalia has heard about this young man dozens of times from her own daughter even though

this time he saw it in person.

Mama Natalia did not say much, what her son had said so far felt right too, besides being handsome, this young man also seemed very friendly, his way of speaking, his way of behaving, his way of behaving, and all her gestures showed high respect, Mama Natalia felt there was not enough reason not to approve her daughter's relationship with this young man, as a teacher Mama Natalia felt Haris could definitely guide Natalia.

“ Drink Ris. Mother lives first yes.. “.

“ Thanks Mom.. “.

Haris took his glass and sipped his drink slowly. There was only a smile floating around. To be sure the happiness that is in the heart of Haris is so great, Haris did not expect Mama Natalia so good to accept it, it means that all this time Natalia was too much to tell her Mama, Mama, the proof of what Natalia said is not true at all.

“ Papa you Li.. “.

Haris did not continue to say when he found the look on Natalia's face was changed to hear the question even though it was not finished.

“ Papa udah ngga’ no bang “.

“ Means.. have died or.. “.

Natalia's shaking head. “ They separated since long time “.

“ Sorry for that “.

“ Ngga’ what Bang “.

Haris does not continue the question, Haris finds out Natalia's dissatisfaction heard the question that Haris asked. Haris also found sadness in the hue of Natalia's face that immediately felt so tense hearing Haris's question. Although not knowing what happened, Haris chose to divert other stories, whatever Haris felt not so crucial to be known clearly, Haris was sure that time would answer later by itself. Natalia also quickly changed the scent of her face, and again there was only a small laugh between the two, until Mama Natalia rejoined.

“ Old Man still alive Ris ?”.

Haris nods his head. “ Dad is still Mom, Mama has gone “.

“ Long ago ?”.

“ Mama died when Haris was still SMA “.

There were many smiles that kept floating. The shadow of her father's face was inside Haris' head. Haris feels his father will be happy and happy to know all this, Haris can make sure that his father will be very happy if he knows he will have a beautiful and good ghost, again a candidate who is friendly and nice to talk to.

“ Mama Batak also ?”.

Haris the head girder. “ Mama Haris Melayu Bu “.

“ Malay ? where did it come from?”.

“ Mom from Langkat “.

Mama Natalia smiled and nodded her head, occasionally Mama Natalia glanced at her son who was more silent. There is a sense of pity that appears slowly in his heart, Natalia never knows how his father.

“ Have brother Ris ?”.

Haris the head girder. “ Single Child Bu “.

Mama Natalia smiled again. Mama Natalia also felt surprised by herself why she was so quickly familiar with Haris who claimed to be her former candidate, Mama Natalia seemed to not get tired of talking to Haris, especially Haris was so understanding about Batak culture, the story about it is very missed Mama Natalia, decades she never heard about it, so she was very happy to share the story with Haris, a story related to her ancestors, the Batak Nation.
