Turning Hell into Heaven

41. Radit's gone

Three human children with different backgrounds and personalities, based on an agreement in a contact group met at a cafe.

Without waiting for each other's orders to come, the impromptu meeting immediately turned into an emergency meeting.

"It's serious. We need to solve this emergency! Counting the next three days, even three weeks Radit disappeared," said Lusi seriously as the opening narrative.

"Have you got busy just for this? you say emergency, I don't see any emergency elements at all from the topic of discussion about a man who is not a child anymore in the suspect disappeared," said Dr. Angga cold.

Hurry up to leave the clinic without first going home to just be able to shower or tidy up after a day of service as an Orthopedic Doctor, Doctor Angga is disappointed to get the reality of the emergency thing that was conveyed by Susi in their group was only about an adult man who he thought was missing, the Radit.

Dara was silent. Not yet know what to respond and how.

"Relier, Dara. We both have valuable time so to just talk about unimportant affairs, explained Mubazir. But do not forget, Radit is also a valuable part of us, we are not friends for decades but have spent enough quality time together. Maybe you think this is trivial because it makes no sense for an adult male, healthy like Radit can disappear another case if he is still a toddler if there is no news news for almost three weeks can be sure to disappear because he was kidnapped. Yeah, but this is the truth, Radit's gone!" exclaimed Susi with a face full of worry.

Dara patted Lusi's back gently, trying to channel the calm energy over his best friend's anger.

"alright. Explain why you think so, that Radit disappeared. You're not friends with psychics, are you, so you're good at predicting?"

Doctor Angga wrapped up the narrative with a bit of a joke, trying to take on the role of a good friend by making room for Lusi to detail her anxiety.

"I'm sorry, excuse me. This is the order, sister," the arrival of a waitress with a few drinks on the tray that he brought made the conversation pause.

Lusi grabbed a glass filled with mango juice of his order, sipping it slowly. Then reach for the mini-sized mineral water on the table then gulp it down almost half of the contents of the bottle. He took a deep breath and slowly breathed.

"I don't know if telling this in this precarious state includes spreading disgrace or not but I think, I have to tell you this first as a basis for consideration as to whether my assumption that Radit disappeared is true or not" prologue Lusi.

"Yes Lusi. Continue, just tell me." Pinta Dara's.

Doctor Angga nodded slowly. The same gesture with Dara for Lusi to continue the story. About disgrace, they are both adults to filter about a speed in determining the topic of conversation.

So even though Lusi will tell you something related to Radit's disgrace, for them it's nothing. They would leave behind a trail of disgrace stains instantly along with the passage of time. Their principle of this is the same, it is not important to keep bad scenes of the lives of others in our memory, can error our brains if too much save something gloomy and dark.

"Just a day before Radit could not be contacted via phone or social media, he called me and asked my husband's permission to talk seriously with me over the phone. After being allowed by Mas Sultan, he told me that he had a big fight with his parents,"

... ***...

Flash back on Radit's residence.

"Anything Papi will do but not by blessing you to marry a WIDOW, any OLDER than you!" hardik Kusnan, Papi Radit.

"Another reason for status. Please Papi, who will marry and marry Radit so be assured with the choice of Radit regardless of the status of the woman,"

"Sad. It feels great, you! oii Nak, do not assume the status and age of the couple in the household is not important. The age count will increase but the rest of life will decrease. Between the two of you, that woman is older. Do you want to be a widower when you need a companion? Then spend time taking care of children who are not your flesh and blood. Huh huh? da? besides, if your chosen woman is a good woman, why divorce?" Papi Radit several times raised the intonation of the voice without removing his cynical tone.

Radit, who had earlier clashed with the Papi right after conveying his heart's intention to propose to Dara, was now silent a thousand languages, like toys running out of power.

Radit was silent not because he agreed with Papi's statement but because he had run out of words to convince the old man if love does not look at age, status and others but rest on comfort and stick to commitment.

Radit glanced at his Mama at a glance, then tightened himself towards his Mama. Radit stuck one side of his head in his mother's thigh.

"Mami, help me, ' said Radit iba.

The middle-aged woman with a casual style and a graceful look was rubbing the soft and smooth head of Radit, her only child. Vega, it's Mami Radit's name, he's confused and doesn't know what to do about the mismatch between his son and his best friend's son while the two newly married couples are going to live apart.

"Room .." Vega called her husband softly.

"Stop! Mami don't try to justify Radit's choice. It's wrong, Mom, wrong! See, our son is young and talented so he should be accompanied by a woman of his level instead of an OLD LADY with TWO children with WIDOW status! want to put where our face with colleagues and other colleagues if they have time to know the naivety of our child alone puppet!" Kusnan growling.

"Bapi, at least try to meet Dara first. Values him directly, not just from the stigma of the Society who always looked down on a single parents," from behind the lap Maminya Radit back said, grieving.

"Radit, never do something that definitely has no benefit! until whenever both Papi and Mami will not bless you with that woman! so there is no need for any meeting-meeting agenda," said Kusnan.

Hearing such a narrative makes Radit's chest feel tight.

"But Radit only loves Dara," Radit spoke again without any inner energy but enough to give a serious impression.

"Dispose your silly love to Radit!" hardik Kusnan's.

"Restui I'm with Dara or I'll disappear forever!" Radit spoke out strongly.
