Bitter Tongue In-Law

Bitter Tongue In-Law
94. I Love You


"Dear, why? You don't want this love?"


"It's okay, anyway. Just afraid it even makes Cashel sad. So Keinget is Arga."


"God willing. The faster the trust is delivered the faster the better. Come to the resto, yuk. Tell me about the resto. Let's take care of it too, we'll take care of it together. Let you know the financial condition too."


Nuna gave a small smile, she then wrapped her hands along Bian's waist. Putting her head on her husband's broad shoulder and, "You are human what are angels? You are perfect to be a husband. Perhaps this is the reason I chose to be born into the world and coexist with various weight problems. You are more than medicine to me. You're my life, you're air to me, I've been through days without you for years, I've stayed away from you even though we're at a close distance, the same place, the same place, even when my heart wants to be close, but my body says it wants to stay away. I've been through it all. You know the result of what I did? The more I get here the less I can do without you, Mas."


"What we go through is the process of strengthening our love. We leave all our feelings to God. Pray at all times so that our feelings never change let alone disappear. Going to the restaurant now, what will it be sometime?"


"You now, I want to eat there. I suddenly miss the same cooking. I'll change for a minute."

The day passed quickly. The little family felt that they had just felt the warmth of the morning sun, but suddenly the world was dark and was hit by the cold night wind that night.


Under a mango tree, there is a small saung that Bian made, he used to spend his days and work there while being bored in that place. The little family who was at the peak of happiness was sitting enjoying the moon stars scattered above.


"Mom, Dad. Mother teacher said, if our family died, now he's seen us from up there, huh, Mom? Then you see us again, Mom? You know I'm sitting here with Bian's mom?"


"Yes knows. You will smile if you are happy too. Likewise, if you are sad, Dad will be sad too. That's why you do'ain Daddy keep on so you can see you from up there. Do not break up until the end of your life."


Cashel nodded with his mother's advice. To him, whatever was spoken by those closest to him was a matter of truth.


"Son, this is Bian's father, there's a break from Arga's father. Arga's dad nitip this to Daddy fitting your birthday a few months ago. Dad did not immediately love that time, because Mother, right, again crave the same Father Arga. But, right, now it's better, it's not craving anymore. So this is Father Bian love you a gift from Father Arga." Bian gave one medium-sized box.


The box is wrapped Beautiful with brown gift paper. Cashel opened the box as soon as it was in his hand. Like a child in general, he will be happy to receive gifts from people closest to him.


A forced smile seemed to be drawn on Arga's lips. Tired face and body that turned out to have started to look thin, apparently already seen for a long time.


"You read, honey. It's a letter from Dad."


"This is a photo of when, Dad? This is, in the old grandmother's house. Before moving to the city. How come I've never met Dad if you've been home?" For the first time Cashel ignored the remarks of those closest to him.


"Maybe this is a photo of you moving here. Maybe five years, yeah. So I used to look for you, but I didn't find you. Bian's father used to be looking for you just as I know. Cashel sad to see this photo?"


"No. Dad's picture is the only one I have. Pas Dad before he died, we often take pictures together while playing. But use Dad's HP. Mom, if I go to Ningsih's grandma's house I want to print the same father's picture of me. Make me put it in the room. Can I put this photo in my room?"


Nuna swallowed her hard spit, she was a little worried about Cashel's words. He looked at Bian, the woman was afraid if the child's speech made Bian no offense or heartache because it felt in the duakan number.


And it's reality, yes. There was a bit of sadness and pain when Cashel said he wanted to print his picture with Arga and put it on display in the room. While he also has hundreds of photos with the boy, but Cashel is not thinking that way, to be honest Bian suddenly feels jealous.


After being silent for a while, Bian finally opened his voice. Seeing Nuna who was also silent made her respond quickly to the situation.


"Yes, it's okay dong. Later this weekend we go to grandma Ningsih's house, we ask for a photo of you with Arga's father who many, we continue to print together. You will post where you can. There's a letter from Dad, try it."


Bian tried not to show that he was actually very jealous. Although Nuna may be able to read her face, she tries to put on lips that form a smile.


"Cashel, son. I apologize for not coming to your birthday every year. I know, you must have been given a lot of gifts with Mother and Father Bian. I'm sorry for suddenly appearing in your life. Maybe you're confused, you don't really understand how we got separated. More precisely I admit, Father left you. I admit Dad was wrong. That's why I don't want to be too confident by appearing in front of you and Mom often. I know you must hate me. It's okay you don't want to meet or hate Dad. No problem for Dad. For Dad, with you knowing that the person in this photo is Dad, that's more than enough. Please hate as much as you do Dad, don't throw it away, yeah, kid. You can keep it under your closet or bed if you don't want to see a picture of Dad. But please don't throw it away. Dad has a jacket for you on vacation. I see Mother's life has been very good, maybe you will someday be invited to vacation abroad, you can use this. Sorry, my gift is not expensive. But I love it with sincerity and from the deepest heart. Hopefully useful, yes son. Again I'm sorry I can't be a good father and set a good example for you. Studying diligently, so the children sholeh, nurut same parents, yes, son. I love you."


Less than one chapter to the end of the story of Nuna and Bian.
