DALLAS
CHAPTRE 15

But I also think my mother's role as a mother is very important to me as well. But I let him go so he could take care of my dad in Canada. I'm willing to not always get a hug, a touch from my mom every day, from when I was a kid to a teenager like this, and it's got me used to it despite being away from her.

I don't know if I'm a broken home kid, or not. Sometimes I cry alone in my dark room. I don't know what I cried at the time, because it felt like my heart was hurting so much.

"Geez we can't stay here for 2 days" my father exclaimed as he turned off the call.

"Why, what happened?" asked my mother while cutting meat with her knife.

"Tomorrow the night there's a meeting at the office."

"Can you resign your schedule?"

"No, can't. Tonight we have to go back to Canada. Dallas is okay, are you we're staying this fast?" ask dad.

"What's wrong, it doesn't matter if you're better off back in Canada tonight. Anyway if I miss you guys I can video call." Answer me with a smile.

After dinner, I drove my mom and dad to the airport.

"Dallas's. I'm sorry, next time I'll come back and stay with you longer here." My mother hugged me tightly.

"Dallas, whatever you want just call me, I'll give it to you!" my father said firmly so I could talk to him what I wanted.

Because all this time I've never asked her much.

"All right, I just want you to stay here forever with me. I'll catch you guys. If you're gonna come back later I'm gonna pick you up at this place again." I said seriously.

Yes and they both hugged me so tightly after hearing what I said.

Slender. That night was very quiet, there was not a single person beside me anymore. When I came home only an empty room continued to echo, but when I saw the sofa, I remembered Dara. The sofa that once witnessed that Dara and I had both fallen asleep on it.

Suddenly Yasmin came into my house and called my name.

"Dallas~" call Yasmin slowly.

"Yasmin, what's wrong?"

"Dallas I know all your problems at school. And about Abiyan..."

"Are you going to be mad at me like Abi?" My timpal.

"No, I'm not angry. You know, it's so hard for me to be mad at you. Oh yeah Dallas, in school not many know if you fight illegal MMA even the photos of you stuck in the mading is no longer there, no one who took it."

Yasmin wasn't mad at me even though I lied to her. And I thought I should tell her this secret. But if I tell Yasmin it must be Yasmin in danger.

"wait. How do you know it's an illegal MMA fight Yas." asked me who was surprised why Yasmin knew if it was an illegal fight because it wasn't written at all in Mading if it was an illegal MMA fight.

"Abiya. He told me, Dallas why do you want to fight illegal MMA? You've lived a good life, even money always flows from your father and mother. But why are you following that illegal MMA fight?"

"What's wrong, I just want Yas." I replied.

"Have you broken up with Dara?" yasmin asked while sitting next to me.

"Yes. Today after she found out that I'm an MMA fighter, that's why I told you and Abiyan not to tell her back then." I explained.

"But why doesn't he like it?"

"Something bad happened to him in the past that made Dara hate it."

"Wait if you already know that, why do you have to date Dara?"

"Because I love her."

"Yes. I know that's why, but I mean if you know Dara doesn't like her, you should stop liking MMA."

Instantly I fell silent after hearing the words that came out of Yasmin's mouth.

"Who is this?" ask me while looking at the number listed.

"Call..."

"Are you the son of a passenger named Elga and Brian. Indonesia-Canada Flights?"

"Yes my own."

"There was an accident 30 minutes ago, I hope you can take the bodies of your parents."

The phone I was holding fell off. My eyes can't hold any more tears, I cry.

"Dallas, what's wrong?"

"A-Dad and my mother, they're gone Yas. The plane they were riding on crashed..."

After saying that, I immediately hugged Yasmin tightly and cried in her arms.

Yep. It was a Monday that destroyed me so much, everyone I loved left me one by one.

Some say when you have reached the age of 18 years then one by one will disappear from you, your friends or even people you love. And it's true that I felt it at the age of 18.

After I picked up and brought home the bodies of my father and mother to the house. The next day, me and some of my other family took my father and mother to their final resting place.

It was very dark, even though the sun was shining brightly, but it seemed to me that it was very dark. Yasmin was always by my side, accompanying me no matter if I was sad or happy, she was my best friend who was always there for me.

When everyone had ushered my father and mother to their final resting place. I didn't want to go home that morning, I just kept it near my mom and Dad's gravestones.

"Dallas, let's go home. We'll be back here tomorrow." Take Yasmin.

"Jas go home first, I'll catch up."

Tell Yasmin to come home without waiting for me.

"All right..."

I kept shedding tears, letting out all my sadness beside the tombstones of my father and mother. I kept crying without a sound and it really hurt.

"Why did you leave me? I haven't even made you proud of me."Mumbles. Then suddenly someone stood behind me.

"They've been proud of you Dallas, you're a good kid who maybe they're not proud of you" he said.

When I turned her back she was Dara, the girl who spoke was Dara.

"Dallas I'm so sorry I'm late."

I don't know why Dara knew that I was grieving, but I didn't tell her. Suddenly Dara approached me and held my right hand with both hands.

Dara said nothing, she just kept holding my hand. When I saw Dara's eyes. His gaze was so sincere to me somehow I could feel it.

But I let go of Dara's hand and left her.

"Dallas!" Dara continued to chase me from behind with her quick steps while calling my name. Dara clasped my hand and pulled me towards her car.

"Let go!" Excited while releasing Dara's hand.

"What'sthis? you told me that you hated me because I was a boxer. You even ended this relationship. Now what? Are you gonna try to fix it?" tanyaku seriously.

"I don't want to talk about this. I will accept all your anger and hatred for me because I ended this relationship. But I beg you this time just to join me in my car now!" bring

Dara looked at Dallas with a serious look.
