Because, I Love You
#BILYS3 256

After a while Abel and Exelle had to stop because Abel had to go home. Because the husband suddenly had to go out of town for a business trip, and that requires Abel to help her husband prepare everything he will bring later.

"Eh, son. I'm sorry aunt took your time, but auntie has to come home soon because there's some sudden business." Abel said to Exelle after closing the call on her phone.

"Oh, what a shame aunt. Though I still want to ask a aunt a lot about my late father and mother." Exelle answered with a gloomy face.

Oh, what a pity this kid.

"Ehm, next time we can meet again, son. Wanna?"

"really? Auntie wants to see me back? I want a aunt, thank you in advance." He returned with a happy face.

"Ehm... You can keep your number on aunt's phone." Said Abel while thrusting his phone at Exelle. Exelle quickly grabbed the phone and then tapped her atik for a while, then gave it back to Abel. He saw a number stored on the screen Abel's phone with the name Exelle.

"Well, auntie's gonna call you next time in her spare." Abel said with a smile.

"Every aunt, thank you again." Exelle replied with a slight bow.

He's a good boy. I think he was wild, his attitude that sometimes always underestimated the beginning of knowing him at the beginning would definitely consider him a bad boy.

Abel spoke in his heart.

Abel's house looked lethargic. Sometimes he was swept away in daydreams, sometimes failing to focus, sometimes his tears suddenly flowed by themselves.

"My dear, what's wrong with you? I'm only gone for a few days. Why are you so sad that you cry like that, come here!"

Abel's husband seemed confused to see his wife was different. Unlike usual, then grabbed Abel's body and hugged him tightly.

"Well, I was just getting carried away. I'm fine, you go be careful, Honey. Remember always telling me when I get out of town." Abel said, wiping away his tears.

"But what's up? Did something happen? Say it..." Ask Abel's husband back.

How should I say it, my husband? It's about my past, and about our son.

"none. I'm just a little unwell, a short break will be restored later."

"You're making me unsettled, I'm afraid that if I go you'll get sick later. Your body temperature is also a little warm, baby, you're so pale." Say her husband again, while sticking his right palm on Abel's forehead.

"Hmmm... I'll really be fine on the break." Abel assured him.

"All right, I'm leaving now. And don't forget to rest, don't get tired, take care of our son Joe. I love you guys so much, hem.."

"Well... Alright, alright. You take it easy, let me drive you to the front porch."

"You're still strong enough to walk all the way downstairs?"

"Am I that weak?"

"Hahaha, I know you're very strong." Abel's husband teased him by poking his wife's chin. Then then move along down the stairs until it reaches the front porch.

Then her husband entered the car and started slowly. Abel waved with a spoiled kiss until the shadow of her husband disappeared from view.

While elsewhere...

"The excelle... Hi, kid... Just oma, who is handsome. Hey.." -..." Call oma Exelle after seeing her walk with a blank look past her oma who just passed her in the living room.

Exelle entered her home with a dazed mind, her legs and hands moving on her own under her consciousness. Until he passed his oma who appeared to greet him.

"Eh, oma. Hehe, sorry oma. Exelle's daydreaming, hehe..." Exelle answered wrongly. Making his oma frown at him in wonder.

"What's up, my granddaughter? Do you have a problem? Tell. Let your opa people finish it as well as you want."

"No, oma. Me, I just... A little thought on one thing." Exelle answered doubtfully.

"What is that, son?"

"Oma, I'm sorry. Can I ask you one serious question?" Deep down Exelle was a little hesitant and afraid to ask about her parents. But this time it should.

"Say, there's no need to apologize, son." Answer her oma by gently stroking her only grandson's shoulder.

"Ehm, whether... Uh.. My papa really died in an accident? Where's tomb? During this time, oma always forbade me to come to the tomb of papa and mama."

Both of his oma eyes widened so big they stared at his grandson's face.

"You.. For what, fuck this thing?" Ask her in a stammer.

"I just wanted to meet them, even if it was only visible in the form of a mound of grave earth, oma. Pliss, let me make a pilgrimage to papa and mama's tomb."

"No. It's not yet time, one day we'll take you to your mama's grave, Eliez."

Degh!!!

Exelle was flabbergasted to clearly capture her oma speech that only mentioned the tomb of her mama, Eliez.

"So right, my papa is still alive." Exelle said in a soft voice lowering her face.

"No. Who dares tell you a lie, son? Your papa is dead. Ah, it's been. Don't talk about this anymore, you're too early."

"Oma, I'm an adult. I understand, what is it. If your mom and dad died in an accident, their graves would be together, right?"

"The excelle..."

"Oma, didn't oma ever discuss it secretly with opa if you ever had severe pain? And papa is always busy working until their relationship is fractured. And oma is often heard cursing and swearing to call papa's name."

"The excelle... Did you secretly dare to eavesdrop on the oma conversation with your opa huh?"

"So it's true. Papa is still alive, and the accident was just a lie that deliberately oma and opa made to fool me, until finally I was far from papa. Aren't you?"

"The exelle!!!" Her eyes raised her tone to make Exelle surprised. Because before he had never received the slightest treatment like this from his oma.

Exelle smiled faintly, her two eyes turning wet red. He was holding himself back from anger and disappointment.

"Well oma, if oma still insists on hiding all this. I'll find him myself, I'll find out where my papa is if he's alive. Even if papa has become ashes, I'll keep looking for where the ashes were put."

Then Exelle turned her body away from her oma. Making her oma frightened if Exelle would just leave the house.

"Wait, wait, son. Don't go yet, you don't understand anything, you just hear a lie from the man who's going to ruin your life. Don't go!!!" Shouted his oma to block Exelle's steps which so quickly passed away went out of the room.

"The exelle!!!" Shouted his oma again while half-running after his grandson's steps.

Brugc...

He fell unconscious right in the middle of the open door.
