DIRASTA (ON GOING)
13. Decisions
Orion lays down his body on the bed after a long day of searching for Danira.
Orion held the corner of his lips that still hurt from the blow he received from Danira's father.
Where the girl was now, Orion restored her hair the memory of Danira's innocent face flashed through her mind. That girl really frustrated Orion.
“Yon” Call Tamara, make Orion snort annoyed
“Ma, biasain knock door”
“Mamah has already knocked on your door aja that is not horrified so mamah directly enter aja” Reply Tamara did not accept blame
“You again think what the hell until not heard the sound mamah” Tanya Tamara while rubbing her son's wide back.
Orion is still silent, he knows the consequences that Orion will accept for his decision. He will make the woman in front of him the woman he loves very angry and disappointed.
“Yon, we have dinner together” Orion gazing at his mother
“Papah has come home?” Tamara nodded with a smile.
“Down yes, the food is ready” Orion nodded yes.
His feelings were mixed, no matter which path Orion had to take he was still hesitant but he also could not just sit still.
“That damn kid is no longer my son, it's up to you to do what he” Dani said in a tinge of emotion.
Those are the words Dani Danira's father said when Orion came to Danira's house this afternoon.
How could a father throw away his own daughter, Orion could not imagine how sad Danira would be if he heard his parents say.
Orion stepped down the stairs of his house one by one, seen his mother and father who had been waiting for him at the dinner table.
Papa Orion named Devan, he is rarely at home because of his business activities are growing rapidly. Devan pioneering efforts from zero to bear fruit, Devan is not from a prominent class in contrast to Tamara Orion's mother who comes from a rich family.
But because of the persistence and hard work that Devan showed Tamara's parents, Devan managed to get the blessing of both Tamara's parents and make Tamara his wife.
“Pah” Sapa Orion
“Iya Yon, sit” Orion nodded
Both Devan and Orion have a pendid and firm nature. Orion is a photo copy of Devan.
Tamara brought rice and side dishes for her husband Devan, and also for Orion her only new son for himself.
“Thank you mah” Orion said with a sweet smile Tamara.
All three enjoyed dinner quietly, no silent conversation only the sound of spoons and plates touching.
Now the three are finished, Tamara does not have a permanent helper staying at her house so she is used to doing her own homework. The housekeeper will come in the morning and will be home at about eight in the evening.
“What are your plans after graduating Yon” Tanya Devan with seius look.
“Not knowing pah” Devan knitted his eyebrows at Orion's statement.
“After the Monash University has sent a letter to you” Bright Devan answered a nod by Orion.
“Then what else do you still think of Orion, or you have another University that you are interested in?” Ask Devan
“There are things Orion wants to say ma, pa” Orion said
Tamara and Devan glanced at each other at a glance and then looked back at Orion.
“Orion wants to marry” Orion said in one breath.
“Married?” Tamara folded her forehead confused.
“What the fuck are you Yon, you want to ruin your own future” Omel Tamara.
“Mah patiently we were horrified Orion” explanation Devan grabbed his wife's hand.
“What really happened” Devan said calmly.
“Pregnant Orion woman pah” Flat Orion vibe
“HAMIL???” Pekik Tamara answered Orion's nod
“Name Danira”
“Danira” Tamara's eyes are already glazed, tears are flowing. Orion can only bow he already knows if his decision will hurt Tamara.
“During this mama trying to educate you to be the man in charge of Yon, not the jerk who impregnates the children of the” Amarah Tamara sticking out.
“Sabar mah” Devan tries to calm his wife's anger.
PLAKKKK
Tamara slaps Orion's cheek.
“Mamah did not think the same you Yon, ma'am disappointed with you” said Tamara who was very, very disappointed with her favorite son. Tamara leaves Orion and Devan.
“Ikut papah” Devan goes first followed by Orion behind him. They both moved Devan's workroom on the second floor.
Devan and Orion sat face to face with equally flat and cold facial gazes.
“Do you really” Orion nodded
He knows his father's calm temperament and always thinks with a cool head instead of emotions.
“You've thought about it?” Ask Devan again.
“Your future is still very long, and you are the only successor of papah”
“Married is an easy matter but to maintain the marriage is not something messing”.
“All happened” Orion replied making Devan chuckle.
“Do you enjoy it until you forget to use safety” Devan said while smiling at his son.
Orion rolled his eyes lazily, the other side of Devan who was serious and cold was his relaxed attitude.
“Papah was also once young Yon, you do not need to be that tight papah will set everything”. Orion's eyes sparkled at Devan's words.
“Seius pah, papah Permitin Orion to marry?” Orion's question ensured a nod answered by Devan.
Orion's smile printed saw Devan's response supporting him. For Devan the happiness of his son is the main thing Devan can feel the worry of Orion. Even though he did not show any expression. How does Devan know??? Orion is a photo copy’an a Devan.
“Thank you pah” Orion said
“But as the punishment you can not refuse again to help papah take care of the company” Orion just nodded.
Orion came out of his father's study and went back to his room, actually he wanted to see his mother but Orion knew at this time Tamara was still very, very disappointed in him. So he decided to undo his intentions and give Tamara time to accept his decision.

“Yon” Call Aldi
Orion slowed his pace so that Aldi could align his steps.
“Someone wants to say the same lo” Orion nodded.
Both of them are now in the school rooftop enjoying a gust of wind from above. Aldi grabbed his pack of cigarettes and picked up a stick, then gave it to Orion.
“Gw know Yon lo disappointed with the three of us” Aldi sipped his cigarette in and then exhaled. Orion smiled and heard it.
“Jutur I regret what I have done I have failed so men” Said Aldi full of regrets.
“Gw never felt this stupid, even this is not the first time I admit it” Aldi said
Previously Aldi had done it with women he loved very much and even that was done on the basis of likes to like each other. But that did not make their relationship last.
Aldi hit the rooftop barrier venting his frustration.
Orion threw his cigarette on the floor and stepped on it. He did not respond to anything his best friend said because there was nothing he wanted to say.
His gaze stared straight at the sweet smile Danira had seen once. Sweet is so sweet that it makes it opiate.
The sense of having Danira is increasingly clear in the mind of Orion, even he did not regret his decision at all but he was increasingly convinced to marry Danira.
