Ettrama: The Secret In Love

Since this is a holiday, Ramel invites his son Renandra to go out to exercise together, because they don't see each other very often.

Ramel loved him very much but because he had to run the company to and fro, he rarely had time with his son.

Sometimes Ramel felt sad if he had to see him just playing with his Omma and Oppa.

"Hey son, let's rest on the bench over there," Ramel pointed at the park bench at the end. They had run a few laps, and were tired enough.

"Dad I'm thirsty", asked Renandra to Ramel.

"Drink this", handed the drink to his son.

"Yes, thanks dad. You too Daddy, drink this too. Daddy must be thirsty." Renand handed the drink to Ramel.

While resting the two of them looked towards the front in silence, they did rarely interact. Ramel was confused about what to say to his son. even though it's been a long time wanted to convey many questions that want to be conveyed.

"Dad? Do you still miss Mommy?" Renandra's question made Ramel a little stunned.

" Yes, until whenever Daddy still misses your mommy son, she's a very beautiful and gentle woman, Daddy can't possibly forget her." Yes, I really can't forget her, the only woman who has been loved until this time.

Even though maybe Ramel will never be able to see her again but Ramel will still remember her soul. Ramel still remembers what happened 5 years ago.

* Flassback off *

A woman who is big pregnant is walking in the park with a man who is her husband, they look very happy.

"It's a shame when this child is born and I am not there, promise to always be there for him and take care of him", said the woman with a forced smile and eyes that were very sad, her lips were pale, her body was very groaning.

"Hey, what did you say? You will take care of him when I work and not only you but we love him", wiped his wife's tears that had been dripping, he was never able to see his wife looks fragile.

"I will never be able to take care of it, I will never be able to dear, you remember the doctor said that my body only lasted until I gave birth, after that only God knows", she sobbed. Her dreams were shattered at all.

How could be, she know when she was pregnant with her child she had to accept the fact that she had end-stage brain cancer.

"Hey Andine, trust me you and our children will be safe, we will build a really happy family. You will take him to school, you will scold him when he misbehaves, only you love, because of that fight". said Ramelson to his wife who named Andine, he did not know why the ordeal was so heavy he had to face.

"You know honey what you say is my dream since the first time I know you, I love you I love our child, and I only ask you to take care of him when I'm gone".

"Is it too difficult? There will be a woman who will replace me in the future, believe me if God takes my life, then we will only be destined to be there and rest assured God will prepare a better woman than me who will take care of you and our child",

Sobs between the two of them are interlocked. , they hugged for a long time really didn't want anyone to part them.

But what about god's destiny? When there is a meeting there is a farewell. Love, sacrifice, time, life, death is only fate of God just to be certain.

How is the net later we can only pass sincerely.

"Yes well I promise to look after our child as much as I can, give him love, but I do not promise to find a replacement. Because I only love you now and forever", I sighed heavily, the tightness in my chest really makes it hard to breathe.

* Flassback on. *

"Hey dad are you daydreaming?" My son waved his hand in front of my face.

"Emmhm. emm.. i'm so sorry son. Daddy was daydreaming, let's go home you must be hungry".

I smiled at him and got up to go home with him.

"Yes, let's go. I'm really hungry dad".

he took my hand and we walked hand in hand.

We go home, today I will replace the time I have wasted without paying attention to my child, today I will invite him to play together. I promised to love him and take care of him well, I didn't mind that promise for a long time, I hope that after this I will pay more attention to him.

Indeed, holidays are more fun rolling around in the bed and watching movies. yes, look how messy a beautiful woman's room is, whose whole room is filled with various kinds of used snacks, but she seems to ignore her room which is like a broken ship in a part.

"Reista down, son, your brother has come!", Shouted his mother from the basement.

"Yes mom, Reista came down". gosh.! why her brother came suddenly and did not tell her anyway.

She went downstairs to meet his brother who had just come to this country, after traveling for 1 year in another country.

"Oh Gosh.. Me bro, do you really remember this house? " I said, approaching my brother and hugging her tightly.

"Hey little sister, I do remember our house, who never remembers me", they hugged so tightly to let go of longing.

Their parents just smiled and shook their heads at the ridiculous but very warm behavior of their two children.

"Mom, Dad. I immediately went upstairs, my body is really sore, I'll wake me up at dinner time," said my Big brother. He ruffled my hair and went upstairs to the room.

It had not been a while when he came upstairs screaming hysterically. "REISTA !!!!! What the hell is this room ? are you a damn girl or what, Reista?!", His shout echoed down to the floor below.

Aisshhh... really is my brother he is the most talkative person when he sees something messy.

I just giggled and saw my parents shaking their heads.

"Yes yes sis I will clean it, you really are to much talking, you say tired but can still scream like that", I scornful to him.

I heard annoyed with his clean pretense.

But I sometimes miss his scolding, I just smile when I remember how when we were little he was very angry and angry, with just that little thing but I'm lucky to have a brother like him, talkative and understanding at the same time.

"Reista, let's help Mommy in the kitchen".

Mommy gently held my hand, I just followed him towards the kitchen. I've seen a lot of vegetables and all kinds of spices that will be processed.

"Lots of moms, who are we going to have lunch with?". My hand is squeezing a little turkey which he wants to clean.

"Nothing, we only eat four of us, Mommy just wants to make a lot of processed menus. Besides, Mommy hasn't cooked food for your talkative big brother for a long time, He will really miss Mommy's cooking."

I giggled and helped Mommy cut the vegetables, it's been a long time since I stepped into the kitchen and cooked together.

"Mom, haven't you introduced the woman of his choice to Mommy?"

"I don't know, Mommy doesn't know what type of brother you are, there are several women that he often takes on vacation. But he has nothing to take seriously". Mommy had already cleaned the chicken and started to coat it with some spices.

"Emmm, then you? How about you Reista?". Mommy stopped his activities a little and looked at me seriously.

I tried to calm down with his gaze that was starting to turn a little deadly, a mother's gaze towards her daughter. Ahh, I feel like jumping rope. My heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"I don't know Mom". I answered simply, I was busy peeling the onions and chopping them slowly. I once opened a conversation about romance. In the end I got it too.

"Emmmm, you don't have a boyfriend?".

"No Mom, after all, where did I find a boyfriend. I was too busy working, especially after the new boss came. I'm just getting busier". I'm a little complaining considering my working hours are getting longer.

Luckily it doesn't take away from my peaceful day off, if so. I already made sure I will give my resignation letter, and look for work elsewhere.

"If you are matched with someone, what do you want?" Mommy's question made me realize one more mistake. I glanced at her for a moment and exhaled in a huff. The more absurd this conversation is, and I'm stuck with my own words.

"I don't know Mom, I didn't think that way".

"Emmm, yes then". Mommy continues cooking and I only help who can be helped. The rest, Mommy takes care of it herself. Mommy's question earlier annoyed me a little.

After all, who a lazy woman like me wants to match, I'm still comfortable living alone.

"Oh yes dear, later tonight follow Mom and Dad to Daddy's friend's house, okay?" She said after I cleaned my hands and wanted to go up to the room, she looked at me with a look of pleading eyes, not usually mom's eyes like that.

"Yes okay mom", I kissed his forehead and went towards the room.

My father is used to taking us as a family in every event he will attend, the simple answer that my father said is he wants everyone to know that he has a complete and happy family.
