[[Love To Life]
LTL Part 3's

Raka came home from Valenzi's house. When both parents began to busy preparing decorations, catering, and invitations, Valenzi was actually pensive in the living room. This time he tried to accept his fate. The destiny he thought was straying from his life path. Valenzi was busy struggling in his mind. Believe it or not, the day after he will be the responsibility of others. It was no longer his parents who had always been beside him, giving affection, and supporting everything Valenzi did. And the day after, she will have a new person who will replace them both, who gives her affection, and support, as a husband.

“Sayang ..”

Valenzi looked back, finding someone who was smiling for him, a smile that always accompanied his days. The smile he always gave to Valenzi.

“What's up, Ma?” ask Valenzi.

“You're not resting, son?” Valenzi. After the debate at the dinner table, Valenzi got along and spoke like nothing had ever happened to his parents. Valenzi was angry, but could not continue to dissolve in his anger towards the two people who were very dear to him.

“You think of something?” diana asked to make sure. He approached his daughter and sat down next to her.

Valenzi lowered his head and smiled at a glance. “Thinking the fate of Zizi in the future, Ma.”

For whatever sake, Diana's heart was instantly struck. There was pain running through his whole body. Diana felt what Valenzi felt. Anxiety will be tomorrow, is the same thing and Diana always thought about. What if his daughter is also without Reno? Is everything gonna be okay? Is her husband's decision right? Handing over his only daughter to someone else, who is none other than his future son-in-law.

“Zi .., sorry Mama,” said Diana.

Valenzi. “This is not the fault of Mama or Papa, and .., family of Reno. You all have nothing wrong, you are just trying your best for your child. Zizi has received all this, Ma.”

Valenzi held Diana's shoulders, looking into Diana's cheering eyes. And ended with a warm embrace of Diana and Valenzi.

...🍁...

“Halo.”

“Halo, Zi. Lo home?”

Silent. No answer came out of Valenzi's mouth.

“Zi? You're still there, ‘kan?”

“Hm.”

“Gue same kids to lo home, yes?”

“Eh. Anu, I'm on vacation, so I'm not home.”

“Yah ... Zi, seriously?”

“Iya.”

“Lo home when?”

“Don't know, like the old guy, hehe.”

“Ah, no fun lo. Yaudah I'll take it to the kids.  Have fun Zi!”

“Hm.  Thanks.”

Valenzi kept his phone away, staring at the screen of the phone that was still on.

“Sorry me, Kar,” murmured.

Valenzi does not want his three best friends to know the match between him and Raka. He will hide this, even if he does not know until when.

Valenzi decided to go to the living room. It seems like a lot of people are busy there.

Just as Valenzi was about to step his foot down the stairs, his eyes caught something that made his heart tremble. His smile returned. Despite being busy to and fro, her happy smile never escaped her handsome face. Such happiness is what Valenzi needs, in addition to seeing the smiles of his parents.

Valenzi came down the stairs that were directly related to the living room.

“You've rested, Honey?” ask Reno. Valenzi just nodded and smiled.

He seemed to have no recollection of how disappointed he was to Reno a few days ago. His papa smile could always calm the heart of a Valenzi.

“Today, you should take plenty of rest and take vitamins. Don't miss the lunch and dinner yes, Darling.” Reno rubbed the top of Valenzi's head affectionately.

Again, Valenzi just smiled and looked into his papa's eyes. Quickly, Reno pulled Valenzi into his arms. "Zi .. starting tomorrow, Papa's responsibility for you, has been replaced. Dedicate yourself to your husband, as you are devoted to Papa. Papa and Mama's affection will never go away and will continue to be there for you, son. Take care of your honor, just like you keep your honor for both your parents. But now, keep your honor to your husband, son. Never make him angry, and never refute his orders.”

Valenzi closed both eyes. Then a single tear slid out from both of his eyes. Valenzi promised herself that she would continue to be with her husband, and would always be loyal to him.

“Im sorry Papa, Son. Papa has taken away your freedom, your adolescence, forgive Papa.”

Valenzi did not answer Reno's words. All he did was tighten his embrace in response.

“Zizi promise with Papa. Zizi will be a good wife for Raka,” he said.

Reno smiled towards Valenzi. She wiped away her daughter's tears, then placed her hands on both of Valenzi's shoulders.

“Your burden here, everything will decrease over time, Son,” Reno said, patting both Valenzi's shoulders gently.

Diana, who was watching her husband and daughter, wiped her tears. The atmosphere of the haru was completely enveloping the Valenzi family. It was impossible that Diana, who was about to take off her beloved daughter for someone else, could endure her cries. Diana was the one who understood Valenzi the most, from childhood to the present. Diana was the only person who understood Valenzi the most.

After all, Valenzi would still be her mischievous little princess.

The marriage was clearly visible in plain sight. Now, just a matter of hours away, Valenzi will belong to someone else.

Valenzi drew and exhaled repeatedly. His heart never beats so fast. His hands were also sweating.

“Zi ..., your forehead is sweating. Is there a problem?” ask Diana. Who swiftly grasped both hands of his daughter who felt cold.

“Em ..., Zizi nervous, Ma,” ringisnya.

Diana chuckled at the look on her daughter's face that looked anxious. I don't know what Valenzi was worried about, it's just that his face started to decorate.

“Quiet, Zi. You still have plenty of time. So, now you rest, yes,” said Diana.

Valenzi nodded, although he knew that he would obviously not be able to rest in this condition.

“Sleep, yes. Tomorrow morning you have to prepare.” Valenzi nodded in resignation as he watched Diana pass from before him, and disappear behind the door of his room.

Valenzi obeyed Diana's words, she broke her body, but still she could not sleep. He keeps thinking about the event for tomorrow.

Until his eyes closed by itself as the night got late.

...🍁...

“Mama don't cry, we can still meet you, Ma.” Valenzi continued to calm Diana down, even though he desperately held back his tears that had reached the eyes.

“I will take care of Zizi with all my heart. Because now Zizi is also my son, my responsibility, Jeng,” said Riri.

Diana nodded. He immediately pulled Reno into his arms. They both watched Valenzi walk into Raka's family car.

Valenzi and Raka's wedding was attended by their parents' business partners. Valenzi refused to invite his friends. He had already kept this matchmaking secret from his three best friends.

“Zizi ..., now, you've become Mama's son too. Never feel sorry for Mama or Papa Bagas, yes?” Valenzi nodded and smiled.

All he wanted now was to rest. After performing the sacred event for quite a long time, his body felt extremely tired.

“Raka, Anterin Zizi to your room,” Riri's orders.

Without answering, Raka simply passed from before them. Valenzi who did not understand, looked at Riri.

Riri nodded. “Follow Raka, Nak.”

Valenzi immediately followed Raka with a pretty heavy white dress that she still wore.

“Raka,” call it. Raka.

“Replace instead, where?” great-grandson Valenzi.

Raka pointed at a door beside the king-size mattress with her chin, and passed by just like that from inside the room.

Valenzi quickly replaced her dress with a kimono towel. And peeked out of the room. When she felt safe, she hurriedly walked towards the bathroom, to clean herself up.

Valenzi screamed as someone opened the bathroom door.

“Maa- Ekhem. If you want to take a shower do not forget the door lock,” said Raka. And then left without saying anything more. Not even hearing Valenzi's answer.

Valenzi, still shocked in the bathroom, was still trying to neutralize his heartbeat, between shock and embarrassment. “Bego really, I. So shy, ‘kan. Not even a day, the time was timid in front of the husband,” grunted annoyed.

...🍁...

“Oh .. here, Nak.”

Valenzi rushed towards Riri who was cooking in the kitchen.

“Here-here, Mama want to tell you Raka”'s favorite food

“... she likes very much the same chicken rica-rica. Can you cook chicken rica-rica?”

Valenzi nodded enthusiastically. Likewise with Riri who is equally enthusiastic to teach Valenzi to cook according to Raka's taste.

“Papa where, Ma?” valenzi asked on the sidelines to cook it.

“Papa go to office.”

“Loh, not a holiday yes, Ma?”

Riri smiled. “That's not let anyone get left behind, huh?”

Valenzi obeyed Riri's speech. He put in all the ingredients that Riri had prepared.

“Papa just check doang file he said, abis it home.”

Valenzi ber ‘oh’ in response.

“Ma, Pa, I'm the same Zizi wants to move tomorrow,” Raka said on the sidelines of her meal.

Riri and Bagas looked at each other before the two looked at the son.

Valenzi who knew nothing chose silence, and continued to eat.

“What's not too fast, Son?” ask Riri.

“Gak, Mom. Raka is not good with Papa,” he replied.

“But, Papa will say, you moved if you want,” timpal Bagas.

Raka nodded briefly. “It wills Raka, Pa.”

“But, Zizi? Does he want?” All gazes were towards Valenzi, except for Raka, her husband.

“Eh, yes Ma, Pa. Zizi will come wherever Raka lives.” Only that sentence was able to come out of his mouth.

Raka squealed slowly. Valenzi turned to her husband.

Is something wrong? His inner.

The four of them continued to eat their food in silence. There was only the sound of the twang of the spoon clashing against the bottom of the plate.

“Let Zizi wash, Ma,” Valenzi said.

Riri, who was about to take over the dishwasher, turned around and rubbed the top of Valenzi's head. “Thanks, Nak.”

Valenzi.

“Where are you going?” valenzi asked, he saw Raka walking out of the room, even though the clock had shown at 22:00 p.m.

“Sleep.”

“Where? The bed is here.”

“Bawel,” he replied.Raka just left Valenzi with a million questions.
