Because, I Love You
#BILYS3 255

Abel was a little agitated when he arrived at a small cafe sitting opposite Exelle who looked at him always with a smile, sometimes looking at him sharply.

"What's the aunt? Is there anything so important to talk about?" Exelle asked to start speaking first.

"Ehm... How, uh... Your relationship with the rainbow?" Abel tried to find a reason to neutralize his heart which was now mixed.

Exelle frowned until her eyebrows shot up.

"Isn't aunt the mother of Rainbow's ex-boyfriend? Why would aunt want to know the continuation of our relationship? Or the... Don't-don't, auntie wants to ask me to give up on getting Rainbow love?"

See, the nature of his criticism is not much different from his father, Tama. It sucks!

"Oh no, son. However, aunty already considers Rainbow like her own aunt. Therefore, the aunt wants to make sure anyone close to her must be a good man."

"Curtain, aunt... Hahaha, then what about auntie's son?"

"Eeh, are you criticizing auntie's son?" Abel began to lure his emotions back.

Hey, Abel. Calm down a little, your goal is not for your son."

Abel took a deep breath and slowly exhaled back.

"Auntie confess, aunt Joe's son. He is still a little unstable. Ah, forget it. What about you, what's your parents' job?" Ask Abel back. With increasingly mixed feelings uncertain, full hope if Exelle is not the son of Ammar.

"My mom's a great doctor, my dad's also a company leader. Said oma and opa, my papa used to be a teacher that my mama loved so much. But they died in an accident, and were not saved. Therefore I also hated the profession of doctor, because my mother could not help herself to live with me any longer."

Degh!!!

Abel's heart seemed to stop, hearing Exelle's explanation that was so firm about everything.

Oh my God. There's no way she really is Exelle son of Eliez and Ammar, no way...

"Son, is... Your mother's name, Eliez?"

Exelle jerks. He was surprised when Abel mentioned the name of his late mother.

"Yes, that's my mom's name. How does auntie know? Woah, who exactly are you?" Exelle asked with a sharp look in Abel's eyes.

With the whole body shaking and getting sweaty. Abel's lips were trembling, his breathing was tight, he was agitated, his whole body was feeling very hot.

God, why is this happening so fast? What am I supposed to do? Uh, wait. Why did he say that his parents died in an accident? Could anyone have twisted a lie so that Exelle would no longer meet with Tama? Poor this kid.

Abel's mouth felt locked in response to Exelle's question. Only his heart spoke and asked a lot of questions. His body stared at Exelle's face, until without realizing the tears.

"Tante, hey... You cried? What's up, aunt?" Exelle asked again frantically after seeing Abel shed tears so that he wet both cheeks. With a swift Exelle gave him a handkerchief.

Abel grabbed her doubtfully and then wore it to wipe away her tears that kept pouring down.

"Thank you, Son. I'm sorry, auntie is so sad to hear your story."

"Hmmm... Haha, aunt gapapa. I'm used to it, but how does aunty know my mama's name? Aunty's a doctor too?"

"Really??? Can aunty tell me how my auntie is? Um, since their departure. I can't remember anything anymore. Opa and oma said I was traumatized so much that they forgot their sweet memories."

What should I tell you, son?

Again Abel was silent without a word.

"Aunty..." Call Exelle gently.

"Ah, yes. Um, your papa. Her... He's a good guy, smart too. He's handsome and dashing, cool like you, black-brown eyeballs, you guys are so much alike. Even your speaking style, I feel as if I'm talking to your papa right now."

"Oh yeah? Woah, what about my mama?"

"Eh, didn't anyone tell you how they were, son?"

Exelle shook her head with a lowered face in response to Abel's question.

"Oma and opa were reluctant to remember what else they told me. They even still often cry to call the name of the mother alone, even though papa also participated in dying beside the mother."

Oh, it's worth it. It seems like Eliez's parents are already very resentful and want to erase Tama's name in their family.

"Son, what if... Um, if... If... Your papa Ammar is alive?"

Back Exelle was surprised with both eyes wide so big.

"Pffit... Hahaha, aunty laughs. Hahaha, where might be aunty. The dead will come back to life, if it's an accident."

"eeehs... Hahaha, yeah.. Auntie's just kidding. Aunty just wants to melt the atmosphere, but what if your papa is alive and survived the accident?"

"Ehm... If papa's alive, I'll find him. Then thank you for surviving to live, replacing the position of mother. Because at the very least, I still have half a hope. Live happily even with only one parent, namely papa."

It seemed, this attitude of his was declining from his late mama. So sincere and kind.

"But aunt, what was the meaning of aunt's question? Is it true that the dead can live again? Then if so where's papa right now, auntie?" Ask Exelle back.

"D, Eh... No, that can't happen. Auntie just, just kidding. Hehe." Denying Abel. In his heart he was just still trying to think more clearly to deal with this all.

Exelle was silent for a moment, looking at Abel's paled face, her eyes a little swollen from the crying.

"Auntie lied." Exelle's words shook Abel's heart until his neck was slightly raised and his face looked up.

"Bo, lying? Why would aunty lie, son?" Abel throws a question back at Exelle.

"Actually my papa's alive, isn't he, auntie? that's why you asked to talk to me alone."

"eeehs... Nope, no. Aunty just for talking, don't put it in the heart."

"Tante, say it again. Answer with your heart, is my father still alive? where is she aunty, where???"
