CARRIER (When Destiny Reigns )
season 2 chapter 5
three years ago, Rishi and I made a friendship. We are close and understand each other. Not infrequently I, Father and Sister Resi eat out together. Many think me and Sis Resi are in a relationship. And no, I feel like I love my mother, not my lover.
Our closeness is what makes my Uncle-Uncle moved to ask Dad to immediately end his youth. Married again, never thought of by Dad. However, our closeness with Kak Resi spent a lot of time. Well, Sis Resi did not have time to be in a relationship with another man.
“Mas, what if Mas ends Duda?”
“I never thought about getting married again. I don't think anyone can replace Sri.”
“I know, Mas. Mba Sri is too perfect to replace. It's just, Andrea needs a friend. Need attention.”
“There is a Rishi. At least until Resi decided to stop accompanying Andrea.”
“But Mas, Andrea has started to mature. I don't know how to say it.”
“Yeah, when Andrea matures. He will start to be able to live without Resi.”
“Not so Mas. Why don't you just marry Rishi? Didn't Resi already love Andrea like her own child?”
“I'm really inexhaustible. Why do you say that, Bram. If you like it, let me tell Resi.”
“No, no. That's not how Mas. I sincerely want to match Mas with Resi.”
“Are you not of age? I think it fits you better.”
“Mas, I think Mas hasn't heard this.”
“What do you mean?”
“Resi, he was a victim of abuse. Well, she's a nice girl who lives with her Grandma and Grandpa. He studied while teaching, the nights when he was about to go home, some thugs snatched his bag. He fell, then realized he was in a hotel. That's what I heard from his Grandma.”
Mas Jaya fell silent, he began to put the sheet in his hand. Putting his right fingers right in his nose. That's a sign that he's thinking hard. Seriously think of something. I know very well the habits of my biological brother on this one.
“Mas, I think he will be difficult to marry again. I mean, maybe he never thought about getting married again. Why not, Mas alone married her.”
“Does he have a child at this time?”
“Yes, a boy named Ari. She is thirteen years old now. The thing that makes me surprised, Ari knows very well the figure of Andrea. It was as if Andrea had met him in person. He also knew Mas. Maybe Resi told Ari.”
“Alright! Try me to think back.”
My father never asked me to speak seriously. Now he calls me into his study. For some reason, everyone who entered Dad's study would feel a different aura. The aura was stressful, as if it was dealing with not my own father.
“Ndre, is Dad interrupting your time, son?”
“No, Father.”
“How about Resi, do you still need it to be your friend?”
“Why did Dad ask that? what's up with Sis resi, Dad?”
“No, Son! Dad just asked. No problem whatever happened.”
My father started to breathe. It was so heavy that he would reveal.
“Do you really know Resi?”
“Means Dad?”
“Did anyone tell you about themselves and their family, son?”
“Yes, Dad. Sorry if I didn't tell Dad. Sis Resi had experienced great difficulties in her youth, she already had children even though she was not married. Ari's her son's name. Sis loved Ari like she loved me. Maybe that's what makes Kak Resi easy to approach me until I'm so comfortable nearby.”
“Unexpectedly, you know that as well. Son, your Uncle Bram asked Dad to marry Rishi. But I haven't made up my mind, now you're growing up. Dad wants to ask for your opinion.”
Andrea was silent, she was downcast with her sad face. Seeing this, his father came and approached him.
“What's up, son? I won't force you if you don't agree. Because from the beginning there was no intention of father to marry again. Only your mother still fills your heart, until now.”
Andrea smiled, raised her face and looked at Father's face. He hugged his father and said, “ Mau, Well. Andrea wanted this a long time ago. It's just, Andrea was afraid to say it. Because Andrea knows, I love you so much. Up to now.”
“Why haven't you told Dad your heart all this time, son?”
“Excuse Andrea , Well!”
“No, Son! Father who should apologize to you. I forgot to spend time with you. Memories with your mother while in this house, make Dad not at home linger here. As long as there's a Rishi, I've ignored you. Dad handed you over to her completely. That's what makes Dad forget Dad's great son.”
The warmest hug, the hug I so missed. Since my mother's departure, I've spent a lot of time in the study. Well, Dad did that because Dad kept grieving every time he was home. Turns out, Dad's soul shake was no less severe than I thought.
“Resi, there is a personal thing I want to ask you.”
“What is it, Sir?”
“Begini. You really have a bad past. Sorry in advance, I asked this.”
“Not why, Sir. Right, I used to have a bad past. But that was once, now I have made peace.”
“Thank God, I'm glad to hear it. Resi there is another important thing I want to ask as well.”
Rishi answered question after question casually. There is no burden. He was so calm in facing it all. It was as if he had truly made peace with his destiny.
“Sorry, after knowing your current state. I want to convey my intentions. I want to marry you, sorry but not for me. Except for Andrea. Andrea likes you and Ari-your daughter. Until I think it's a good decision for me to marry you. I do not need a companion, because I still love Sri-Mother Andrea. Maybe this sounds less wearing, but the decision is in your hands Resi.”
“Did I not hear wrong? Didn't I already convey the state of my womb? I no longer have a uterus and I will not be able to serve you like a wife.”
“Resi, didn't I explain. I need you for Mother to Andrea, not to be my wife. Even so, Ari will still I think like my own son. I am not so old, but my passion has gone with Sri's departure. That's what made me not want to get married again. However, Andrea seems to need you so much.”
“I think I should think about it again. I also have Ari and Grandma at home. I have to really think about them too. It's like you think of Andrea. I permission pamit.”
