The Delayed Love
I'm not giving up
This morning was the day my father returned from the hospital after a week of treatment.
" Dad...did better. rest first in the room yes" I said after arriving at home.
" No need. Son... father tired of sleeping continuously..father wants to sit on the park bench ", said father.
' Well yeah.here I take it." I said again while holding my father's hand.
"Sit here.... Son. I want to talk to you". said my father.
" Yes ..yah" said I
" Dad wants you to get married immediately . let someone take care of you son. It's time you got married" said my father.
" Your father has just healed...dad not think too heavy first," I said again.
" Kiddo...that if you don't get married, it's a burden for Dad. This is the time you should have a companion who can replace your father...............
and I think Nak Hendra is very fitting for you. He's a good boy...grown up.and certainly responsible.I'm sure the choice of father is not wrong son." said my father at length.
I was silent for a moment. My mind started to mess again every father said Mas Hendra. I know Mas Hendra is good.... it's just a brother's feeling towards my sister that I've been feeling all along...
because I always wanted to have a sibling. Since Mas Hendra's presence I feel that I have an older brother ......
" Why son..... do you agree with my father's opinion.?" ask my dad
" It's up to dad.... Merry recalls." I said resigned.
" Well then.next month you will get married.dad will talk about this with Nak Hendra." said My Dad.
" Yes ..yah.here I help.." I said as I got up.
After I took my father to his room I went into my room
I was still silent.and thought about what Dad said just now....
Pov Ridwan....
I have to do something.I don't want to lose the person I love...
Why did I have to lose my happiness.my parents used to choose divorce.because my father cheated on another woman and my mother left me.. and after a long time Dad left me and would rather be with that woman than me...
all that happened when I just sat in High School .. I do not have money for school fees and support myself. I had to work as a waiter at a cafe in the evening while continuing my school in the morning...
And now I have my own cafe from experience and the results of my own efforts.
I remember my hard times and now why I can't get happiness either.
Actually when Junior High.I already like you Mer. when we duet together. but that time I did not dare to say it. because I think it is not time to date.
we're still in school and I have a lot to do.
I saw you coming to my cafe with a man...
but after I noticed you were with the man, not like a lover or a husband and wife...
I want to know who is the man you're with a lot, but I don't have a chance.
But when you came alone at that time, then I dared to come to you.....
Ahhhh...And it turns out you have the same feelings as me....
But now......
" Sorry sir.ada Mr. Jeremy who wants to meet with the father." said my employees disperse my daydream.
" O yes tell me to wait in my room" I said again as I got up from my seat.
