Sweet Wounds
Track 9's
It is like an infinitely distant step, twilight but infinity, love but not considered.

“Where are you?” Ask the caller across.
His mind immediately laughed, something must have happened so that his mother who was almost 9 years old never cared about him, suddenly contacted him. “I'm in Andra's apartment,mi.” The answer.
“You can't afford an apartment until you have to stay in someone's apartment? Or is your money up to dress up your math boyfriend? Watch out if the impact on the company, your position immediately mami down to OB. Right now, you're home!” The order of the caller who also served as his mother.
Grian immediately agreed. From a long time ago, she always obeyed her mother's orders. The only order the mother had ever disobeyed was the order to keep and accompany Elva for the rest of her life.
Because of that order, he had to lose his papi and face the anger of the mother.
After all this time, maybe her mom can forgive her mistakes. Therefore, he immediately rushed after his mother hung up the phone.
With a happy feeling, the man immediately drove his car to the house he had left for years. Ah, almost 9 years he went from the place where he grew up.
Until there, Grian thought he would be greeted with a hug by a mother as often happens when parents meet their child after a long time apart. However, NIHIL. What he found was his mother standing with a look of wrath, then throwing him with a brown envelope that he did not know what was inside.
“You don't think of me as your parent anymore, huh?” Ask the old woman. There was a sad look emanating from his face.
Grian looked at his mother in a daze. Whatdoes thatmean?
“It's this big you hide from me? Answer Grianly, don't just shut up!” Indict mom.
“I don't understand,mi. Mami mean what?”
The old woman's face looks angry. 9 years left the house makes her son so stupid.”Take that envelope, look it up and explain it to me.”
The man obeyed his mother's orders. She was shocked to find a photo of herself, Elva and Wren as they ate together a few weeks ago. Immediately alarms of danger signs instantly appeared in his head.
“Quick explain! Your mouth is still there, right?” Tukas the mami.
“E-ung, i-it is indeed Elva.” Grian said slowly.
“Mami also knows it's Elva. Who wants you to know that, who's the little boy with Elva and why are you three eating together? Let's answer!” Demand the mother.
Oh, his beloved old woman is no longer using ‘saya’ for her pronouns. An incredible change.
Grian fell silent, trying to think of the right answer. If one speaks incorrectly it will have an influence on his future.
Oh, his beloved old woman is no longer using ‘saya’ for her pronouns. A change worth appreciating.
“If mom knows, why do I have to do it again?”
“Heh, stupid boy! Mommy should ask. Mami wants to make sure you don't take the wrong path again. Mami is happy to see the effort you want to get back together with Elva and your son. That's what you should do.”
Grian's face instantly changed. “Mami misunderstood. I ate with Elva and her son not because I wanted to invite him to refer. It was just a coincidence.”ujar Grian.
“Annya? That's your son too, you fool! If you don't miss ****** in Elva's womb, she won't be around. So, stop acting like you have nothing to do with the child. What's name?”
“Hah?”
“Hah-ho, hah-ho! Grandchild mami, whose name is it?”
“Oh, his name is Wren.” Answer Grian.
“Wren? What a beautiful name. Elva is very good at giving names. You don't want to know, anyway, you should be able to bring your daughter-in-law and granddaughter back to this house. If you don't do it, a dime of our family's property won't get you. Remember that!” The mother's sweat.
The disapproving Grian immediately expressed his objection. “Can't do that,mi. I'm the only heir to papi, of course I will inherit all the treasures papi.”
Her mama immediately cheered, “You think that your daddy is so stupid as to give all the results of his hard work to you, huh? Please ask your papi notary what the will sounds.”
Seeing the inertness of her child, the old woman immediately continued her sentence, “Oh, let me explain. It reads, all possessions will be entirely yours if you already have children on condition that your child must be born from the womb of Elva, the woman of your papi choice. During that time, your papi heritage will be managed by mami.”
Grian looked at his mother in disbelief. “But neither of you have washed the crafty woman and her parents.”
“I don’t care! Now, your only choice is to bring Elva and Wren back or prepare to become commoners. Please get out of my house, you can come back if you come with my daughter-in-law and granddaughter.” Reply her mom doesn't care.
“Ck! So ‘me’ again.” whispered the man inwardly.
The old woman instantly left her son who was still standing looking at her in disbelief.
Even if it doesn't seem to care, but the woman prayed in her heart that God would help her realize that Elva was the right choice so that she could soon be reunited with a daughter-in-law whom she had considered to be her own daughter and a mere grandchild that adorable puppet.
He wants to spend his old age with his family so that when he returns to the lap of the Father and meets his beloved husband, he can tell how happy he is to play the role of a grandson, he can tell, things she always wanted with her husband.
This time, he had to act. 9 years of being in the void made him have to dare to take a step. Kar’na if only waiting for his son to realize, the longer his desire will be achieved.
