[[Love To Life]
LTL Part 1

Valenzi rubbed his thick blanket. He sat up and opened his eyes many times to regain consciousness.

Valenzi crawled up and lowered both his legs from the bed. Take a small step towards the balcony door of his room. He opened it and stood on the balcony of the room. Valenzi spread out both hands, enjoying the bad luck of the wind that swept his face as well as his haircut.

Valenzi always enjoy peaceful mornings like this, if the weekend arrives. Without a sound Diana shouted loudly woke him up, and without the busyness of the other morning. He had dreamed of every peaceful morning like this.

Geck... Geck... Geck... Geck...

Valenzi. After hearing a gentle knock on the door of his room.

“The hope is ready, Zi,” Diana said. After getting a nod from Valenzi, Diana passed from Valenzi's room, and did not forget to close the door again.

After a single deep breath, Valenzi decided to follow Diana into the kitchen. Enjoy a delicious breakfast made by Diana.

“Mama is now a cooking hobby, yes, Ma?” valenzi asked as he went down the stairs. Her eyes continued to watch Diana with her pastel aprons. The one who looks good moves to and fro to pick up the cooking ingredients and prepare them .

Diana nodded, and smiled towards her already seated daughter paying attention. “From now on, Mama will make food,” he said steadily.

Valenzi chuckled at Diana's spirit while cooking. Even Diana's hair was left blocking her pretty face.

“Papa return ...” Diana and Valenzi turned their heads toward the main door. Seeing the middle-aged man who was walking unsteadily approached the two of them.

Quickly, Diana approached her husband who looked very tired. Taking over the suit is also his bag that has been since entering the house held in both hands.

“Papa want to come for breakfast?” ask Diana. Her husband just shook his head in a doldrums.

After greeting Valenzi, he immediately went to the room. It seemed to clean up, then after that go to sleep.

Valenzi and Diana knew that Reno must have not slept last night.

This morning, after they had finished breakfast, the sky dropped the water that had originally fallen slowly, until it became irregularly heavy.

The best time to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and biscuits. Also accompanied by his favorite novel.

Valenzi had already returned to his room a moment ago. He returned with a cup of hot chocolate that was already in his grasp now. He did not open the balcony door this time, instead he opened the curtain that covered the large window of his room. Grab it slowly, and drag the big bean bag. Then put it in front of a window that leads to his spacious yard.

A cup of hot chocolate, and a novel book in his grasp, were enough to enjoy the rainy atmosphere this morning.

Valenzi was about to return the cup that had been barren since then to the kitchen. However, his steps came to a halt when he heard a noise near his room. Valenzi turned to his right and left, and his gaze fell upon the white-painted wooden door a few meters away from his room. It was Valenzi's parents' room.

“We have no other choice, Diana!”

“Everything just happens. I'm sure he can!”

“And I'm sure he'll agree.”

Vaguely Valenzi heard his hardened papa voice. After that, no sound was heard anymore. Rather than care about such a thing, Valenzi again continued his delayed steps.

Valenzi did not think of any bad possibilities. If they were to fight, there must be a reason behind it all. Or maybe, because the papa is tired, so his emotions are easily provoked. Valenzi really doesn't seem to care about anything like that.

The rain today lasted until night. There are a lot of disturbed activities. But for Valenzi, none of his activities were disturbed.

Valenzi and his parents reunite for dinner.

“Oh yes, Zi. Mom forgot to ask. Your graduation results, how?”

Valenzi who was still chewing, nodded steadily with a sparkling look. Diana and Reno who saw it chuckled and no less enthusiastic would listen to the story of his daughter.

“Valenzi pass Ma, Pa. Princess, Nadia, same Karina as well. We all graduated. And Zizi's value is also good, Ma,” he said with a fluffy smile on his face.

“Oh, yes? Where do you want to go to school, baby?” ask Reno.

Valenzi lowered his face. “That's it, Pa. Zizi confused to continue where.”

“Already, we will discuss next time, yes?” diana mediated.

Their dinner ended after a few sentences saying good night to each other dearly.

Valenzi went to his room. He only went out of the room for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Or if there is a need in the kitchen. Valenzi prefers to laze when it is raining, rather than having to busy themselves.

As he was picking up a novel on his desk, his phone suddenly rang.

Valenzi grabbed the phone lying on the bed and pressed the green button on the screen.

“Halo, Zi.”

“Hm. What's up?”

“Lo at home?”

“Hm.”

“Out, yuk. Kids said bosen, nih.”

“Males ah rain. At home aja. From pain ntar rain-rain.”

“Ck. Yeah, too, anyway. Yaudah we must lo home, yes?”

“Ngapain, anyway?”

“Meet a meal.”

“Bawa money. I buy food with money.”

“Reasonably counting yes, now."

Valenzi kept his phone away. And decided his call was one-sided.

Valenzi shook his head. He was amazed at his three best friends. They had even been together for 3 years, but there was their behavior that made Valenzi shake his head.

“Excuse me, package!”

Valenzi looked up and looked towards the door of his room. Looking at the three girls who were directly running towards him like Kindergartens, looking at the nice toys.

“Gue if so Zizi will not be out of the room one week,” said Nadia. While laying his body on a king-size mattress belonging to Valenzi.

“Whimpering, Put.” Karina who had been standing pacing back and forth on the side of the mattress managed to distract Valenzi.

“Why, anyway? Bissu, lo?” ask Valenzi.

“Ck. I'm looking for your mini fridge, where the hell?”

Valenzi sighed for a while, then pointed his chin at the wall near the bedroom door.

“There is a history of Valenzi having a mini refrigerator,” said Nadia.

“There, tuh,” Valenzi said casually.

“It's not mini, but oversized.” The Princess' words invited laughter among the four of them.

Although they have been to Valenzi's house a lot, still, Valenzi's belongings have always been a concern to them, and it feels like something that is always new to them.

Karina breezed away towards the oversized refrigerator that was spelled mini by Valenzi. And opened it after being right in front of him. Refrigerator that has a luxurious look, has 2 doors that have sensors.

“Conform buset!” Karina slightly jumped from her place.

“What the hell, Kar?” ask Nadia. Who became seated in shock at Karina's screeches.

“Gue dateng, suddenly this refrigerator is on,” said Karina, while opening the refrigerator in front of her.

“Gue if so Valenzi can be obese anyway, if kayak gini,” continued Karina. He picked up some snacks and soft drinks from inside.

“Mouth lo kayak abis oiled new yes, Kar. Much by the way,” chirps the Princess, who is still sitting comfortably on a large bean bag facing out the window.

Valenzi and his three friends spent the afternoon together. And they finally came home after Karina complained if she was full.

“Guys! Home skuy. Gabisa's been here a long time. Look at it, my stomach is spitting,” the milk.

The three friends chuckled and bothered to the owner of the house.

“We unplug, Zi. Gausah. We're not going to go from lo, kok.”

“Don't say that. So sad for a while,” said Putri patted Nadia's shoulder who had just said a sentence as if they would not meet again.

“Udah, ah. There go,” expel Valenzi.

“Eh, you guys bring a car?” ask Valenzi.

All three nodded. He pointed to Nadia. “He who brought, we both anyway, nebeng,” said Putri.

...🍁...

“Zi, fetch Mama knife dong, it's in front of you,” pinta Diana.

“Well, how does the story of the knife get to the living room?” Valenzi. He moved closer towards Diana who was in the kitchen. Just like the hours leading up to dinner a few days earlier. Diana was busy cooking in the kitchen.

“Completed, Ma?” ask Valenzi. He saw Diana clapping her little hands accompanied by a sparkling face and a widening smile.

Diana nodded steadily. “Call Papa, Honey,” Diana's word. Valenzi nodded, immediately got up from his seat, and walked towards his Reno— papa workspace.

After Vio knocked slowly on the shiny brown wooden door, he opened it slowly. “Pa .... Dinner is ready,” he said while poking half his body into the room.

Reno nodded and smiled. Despite being very visible, his face looks tired and many thoughts, he never hid his smile from his beloved daughter.

“Tadi, it looks like your friends are here, Zi?” ask Reno. Which is the opening of a long talk tonight.

Valenzi.

“Ah .... Mama was too busy in the kitchen, so did not meet them,” complained Diana.

“Iya. Since Mama's hobby of cooking, everything is forgotten,” upset Valenzi.

Diana and Reno chuckled. Then Valenzi who saw them laughed. The night table today was filled with crisp laughter from the three of them.

Reno and Diana looked at each other, before both of them looked at Valenzi affectionately.

“Zi ...” call Reno.

Valenzi who was still busy feeding the food that remained a little was looking up towards Reno.

“You'll Papa match.”

Valenzi. He was still staring at Reno with his blank look.

"Zi ..-"

“What does Papa mean?” tanyakanya.

Reno exhaled her heavy-sounding breath before continuing her speech. “Papa company goes bankrupt, Zi. And there is no other way than to receive help from business partner Papa.”

“Jadi .... The same order Zizi what?”

“Papa's business partner requests that his only son be betrothed to you.”

“And Papa received it without asking my permission?!” Valenzi's voice rang out, and her two beautiful eyes had already passed her first clear circle.

“Ma .... Zizi don't want to be fooled,” whining. Diana who sat on a side of Valenzi could only cover her mouth with her palm, hiding her already broken cry.

“Pa. Zizi don't want to,” his whining once again. This time her tears were shed. Body vibrates. Who originally gave freedom to him, today again withdraw that freedom. As if his freedom was a mere act.

“Why should I bear this heavy burden?” his inner.

...🍁...

...Greetings,...

...Ika & Anggity...
