TRAPPED IN FORBIDDEN DESIRES

75. Discussions

"Pa, Mama. Dios and Caren are married. Caren and Dios want you to come with us to Yogykarya. Because Dios's business was growing there," Dios and I tried to persuade my parents to join us in moving to Yogja.

"You guys are going. We have no problem being here" my father said.

"But pa. Who's gonna take care of you? if you could still see, I wouldn't worry. Now mama can't see, while papa's legs are paralyzed. I'm worried that you two are in this state" I said with teary eyes.

"Mama and papa are afraid to trouble you. You just want to start a business, if we are there, your cost of living will increase. If here, papa can still use the money of retired papa to eat," said papa.

"Papa don't say that. You guys don't bother us at all. After all we are your children, if not us who else would care for you?" said Dios.

"Ah...Caren is lucky to have a husband as good as you are Dios" said Mama.

"I'm the lucky one to have a new family like you. Now my happiness is complete. I have a wife, children, and both parents" Dios said.

"Alright then we just sell this house," said Papa.

"Why sold pa?" ask Dios.

"Yes, if we move there, this house will stay. Instead of being a ghost nest, mending is for sale, right?" Answer Papa.

"Don't pa. This is a savings asset. Instead of selling, mending we rent it. Can get money, while the house remains ours" said Dios.

"Truely said Dios pa. If one day we want a vacation here, or Marta wants to study in this city, we will not bother to find a house anymore," I said.

"Yes already. Papa come as you please. This house belongs to you too. If not for grandchildren, for whom else." Answer Papa.

Dios and I looked at each other and smiled. We are quite relieved, because they are not too difficult to persuade.

"Now do we help you pack up?" my many.

"When are we leaving?" ask papa.

"Tomorrow pa. Dios could not keep up his efforts for long. You see, many clients want to ask Dios to handle their marriage directly." My answer.

"Yes. We just follow," said papa.

I saw my mom look so moody since. I don't know what he's thinking right now.

"Mama why ma?" my many.

"Mama is blind now. Mama feels mama is the most troublesome you later. If later we make you hassles and incur huge costs. You guys just put us in a nursing home." Answer mama.

"Only children who do not have morals, who could lead their parents to a nursing home. They can afford to take care of their parents. Mama never had such a thought. Pray that Dios will wind down a lot, that Dios will take papa and mama to the big hospital."

"If it can still be in surgery and therapy, then we will take the opportunity," continued Dios.

"But it will cost you not a little. Your future is still very long. Your children need high educational costs. Mom and Dad are old too. It's a pity that the money is only to treat old people like us," said Mama.

"Ma. Dios and Caren believed in the grace of caring for parents. Dios believed God would not allow Dios any trouble, as there were many people that Dios lived with. Dios is sincere," said Dios.

I saw Mama and Papa smiling their best.

"We always pray for our children to have blessings and abundant fortune." Answer Mama.

"Yes, let's go Caren and Dios help you pack up" I said.

Dios pushed papa's wheelchair, while I helped mama. When I got to their room, I helped my mom sit on the bed.

Dios then dropped the suitcase from the top of the closet, and began to arrange papa and mama's clothes.

"Honey. Please put down the other suitcase. Let me help you get in your mama's clothes" I said.

Dios dropped me another suitcase from the closet. I began to sort through the clothes my mother could take away. After I thought it was enough, Dios and I decided to take Papa and Mama for a walk and also eat at the restaurant. We want to enjoy the streets in the city of J as much as possible, before we finally go to Yogya.

But while at the restaurant, I accidentally saw Delano eating together with a man. The man I saw at the apartment that day. The man Delano once acknowledged as his lover. Delano is like before. Stay handsome and charming. It's just that his body is a little thinner than the last time I met him in Bandung.

He accidentally looked at me, and I looked at him. Delano then looked at Dios who was holding our son. Delano smiled at me, and I published a smile at him. Maybe he already understood, that now I have found happiness. And I also respect his choice, which is to remain gay.

"Honey. Why don't you eat?" ask Dios.

Dios followed my line of sight, and so met Delano. Delano nodded his head slightly towards Dios, and Dios did the same.

"Want to eat shrimp? let Caren get it?" I who sit next to my mother, must serve him who currently has shortcomings.

"anything. What matters is that you can eat." Answer Mama.

*****

"Surely no one is missing?" ask Dios.

"There is no brother. All is enough." My answer.

"Then let's go" said Dios.

We also order online drivers who are currently loved by many people. After his car arrived, we hurried to put our belongings in and immediately went to the airport.

"Dios?" greet a woman, while we were in the waiting room.

"The vika?"

Dios glanced at me, maybe she was afraid that I was jealous to see them still familiar.

"Hi mbak's. How are you?" I greeted Vika with a smile on my lips.

"good. Looks like you guys are married, huh? this is your son?" ask Vika.

"Yes, this is our son. Where are you going?" ask Dios.

"You go to Surabaya. Now I've opened a beauty salon there." Answer Vika.

"You're still...."

"not anymore. You're right, those men will dump me after finding a new and younger woman. To be honest I'm also tired, I also want to arrange my hiup at this time," said Vika.

"Good then. You can start a new life again then," said Dios.

"Where are you going?" ask Vika.

"We're going to Yogya. Now we're staying there, 'cause I open a WO business." Answer Dios.

"really? later if my capital is enough, can I ask questions about your business? who knows I'd like to open a WO business too" asked Vika.

"Can." Answer Dios.

Not long after the sound of notification for the plane going to Yogya has been broadcast.

"We go first Vik. Take good care of yourself" said Dios.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Vika with teary eyes.

I know very well what Vika is feeling right now. If I don't guess wrong, the woman is now overwhelmed with deep regret. But of course I have to say a big thank you to Vika. Maybe if he hadn't wasted Dios back then, I would never have united with that great man.

"Sir," I nodded my head and then pushed Mama onto the plane we were about to board.

"How did you feel when you met your ex-wife again?" I asked when we were sitting on the plane.

"Just like how you feel about Delano right now. You just consider him a friend, right? so am I." Answer Dios.

"Didn't your sister hate him?" ask again.

"Make what? many hate to make our hearts dirty. If the heart is dirty, life is not calm. He was my mass, and he was a teacher of experiences that I could draw from. If we can make peace, why should we hate each other." Answer Dios.

I lay my head on Dios' shoulder. That man is a grown man according to his age, I am lucky to have a perfect man like him.

"What if you still hold a grudge against Delano?" ask Dios.

"If revenge is not. But a little upset." My answer.

"Why?" ask Dios.

"My virginity must be handed over to the PLT. It's a loss." My answer.

"WGT? what'sthat?" ask Dios.

"Fans the shit hole."

My answer made Dios chuckle. If you don't remember being on the plane, Dios would have laughed so hard.
