The Young Man One
Couple Talk Husband Wife


Livia was silent for a long time. She did not know what kind of thing her husband wanted to talk about with that solemn look on his face, let alone so suddenly. To his knowledge, their relationship was not troubled either.


"What's that?"


"I want to know what you think of the child."


"Kids? You mean Nea?"


"No. I mean Nea's sister."


"A—adik?"


As she said, Livia's face was already blushing red. She had indeed thought about their possibility of having a baby, but never expected that they would discuss it now.


Kelvan pulled himself in, massaging his nape slowly. "It's not just Nea, I want it too. But all that needs your opinion."


"I ...."


The look they meet. Kelvan is clearly waiting for an answer. Livia lowered both of her previously tense shoulders as a result of thinking about the possibility of serious talks in their relationship.


"Don't expect it."


Kelvan's hope is dashed, hearing sentences that are likely to be rejected. He is not angry with Livia's decision if it is inversely proportional to her wishes, but somehow she has a disappointment.


"Such ...." Kelvan smiles. "No problem. You can take your time."


"I'm not done talking yet." Livia lowered her head, seeing her hand squeezing the tip of the clothes nervously. "Actually, I have the same desire. I think I'll explode if I say it, because I'm so ready. I want to have the fruit of love from you, to see it grow with you, and to give genuine affection as a parent. There is nothing happier than that."


"So ...."


Their eyes meet again. At this moment Kelvan seemed to be smiling with satisfaction like an amazing thing was waiting ahead. Livia who was burned by the turmoil of happiness immediately closed her face.


"I'm too embarrassed for this" said Livia.


Kelvan pulled both hands from the face, staring fixedly at Livia. "I'm very happy. Don't know how to express it. You should know that I love you so much."


Livia gulped violently, looked at so closely in the circumstances they discussed to have a child was a thing that had never been thought of during her life of being an ordinary woman out there. Now he feels like he is growing up.


"I love you too, Kelvan."


Uhuk!


They both turned to the source of the voice, seeing the figure of her grandmother Livia was watching from afar. The two people who wanted to make fun of him had immediately made a distance, acting as if their intentions were a mistake.


"Ne—granny!"


Livia approached the grandmother.


"Grandma just woke up?" ask her clumsily.


"You must have forgotten that I'm still here."


Livia led her grandmother to sit in a chair. "Is Grandma thirsty? I'm gonna go get it."


"No. Grandma's been packing things up and leaving this morning."


Livia was surprised, glancing at Kelvan who had the same response. "Grandma's going back to the village?"


"of course. Do you think grandma will stay in this polluted land forever? Too tight to breathe here. Grandma's lungs will get dirty faster than living in the village."


Livia breathed a long breath. "Grandmother doesn't come out with me often. Just once and it urged me to go home constantly. How's Grandma's lungs gonna get dirty?"


"That's it. Grandma was never fit to live here. I think grandma lost her mind. Who wants to live in an uncomfortable place? Don't force grandma to stay here again. After all, grandma has been living with you guys for a long time. It's time for grandma to come back."


Livia looked sad, hugging her grandmother. "Commonly contact me. Grandma didn't forget how to use a cell phone, did she? I've taught it and Grandma must remember it well."


"You don't have to worry, because I have a note for that."


"Can Grandma promise me?"


The grandmother looked at her granddaughter, about to divorce their embrace, but Livia was unable to help when pushed. The stubborn granddaughter of his head remained attached like a postage stamp.


"alright. I promise." The grandmother glanced at her granddaughter's husband who had just looked at her. "Do something to separate us."


The stared Kelvan laughed. "Livia just wanted to express her feelings. Then, we'll drop you off after we have breakfast."
