Chasing the Love of Alex
Headstrong

"Oma how are you?" greet Sonya while kissing Oma's left and right cheeks.

"bad... Oma lied that Oma said she was okay... Oma's still thinking of Oma's granddaughter..."

Sonya sat in front of Oma and grabbed her hand, "Oma be patient... Maybe Alex needs some time..."

"Did Alex not want to see Oma yet?" asked Oma with a sad face.

"Hmmm Oma I'm sorry I know this is your family matter... But if I don't know the problem, I'm also confused about where to start helping Oma.... Does Oma want to tell you the beginning of the problem until Alex doesn't want to accompany Oma?"

"Did Alex not tell you?"

"Honest Oma... Actually Alex is preventing me from seeing Oma again... He simply said Oma had already caused both of his parents to suffer... That's all he said Oma... Alex won't talk anymore."

Instantly tears welled up on Oma's cheeks, her old eyes looked red with tears.

"Oma is wrong... Oma is too selfish because youra's chosen man is far from the criteria that Oma wants to be Oma's daughter-in-law... The various ways Oma did to separate them but in vain... Until they secretly marry, and have one son, Alex. Oma only found out a year and a half after they got married..."

Oma fell silent to stuff her nose with tissue and wipe away her tears.

"At that time Oma was so angry... Oma's only child married without Oma's consent... And with a man who's not Oma's blessing... Oma can't control Oma's emotions... And finally Oma did not acknowledge Youra as Oma's son anymore... Youra knelt down while pleading with Oma to bless their marriage... But Oma is too stubborn to approve their trinkets and recognizes Aksa as Oma's son-in-law... Until finally Youa decided to join Aksa back to Indonesia, and became a citizen of this country." explained Oma.

Sonya blinked her eyes puzzled, "Citizen of this country? What are Oma and Alex's mother?"

"South Korea... Papa Oma is a native of South Korea, and Mama Oma is Indonesian... And Oma's husband is also Indonesian, who has long settled in South Korea. It seems that the decline in the family Oma married an Indonesian is no exception Youra... And Oma doesn't mind as long as it's not Aksa..."

Oma went back to silence, her mind was probably wandering into the past, "God... Alex is very similar to you... It's just that you're a smiley, cheerful girl." she murmured.

"Did Oma never see them after Oma didn't recognize Alex's mother as a child again?" ask Sonya.

Oma shook her head, "But Youra always sent letters to Oma, even though Oma never replied to her... Youa told her how everyday they were, sending Oma small photos of Alex, until finally one year more Youra did not send any more letters, and it made Oma become worried... Oma flew straight to Jakarta and looked for the address that Youra had written in her letter..."

"At that time Oma had decided to bless their relationship, because Oma did not want Youra to finally give up and forget about Oma... But when Oma reached the intended address... The house has been confiscated by the bank because the owner did not continue the installment of his credit... And Oma heard from the owner of the stall in front of Youra's house that Youra and Aksa were dead and their son Alex was in an orphanage..."

Oma's cry broke again, Sonya moved to sit next to Oma, and patted her back. Sonya started shedding tears.

"Oma rushes to the orphanage called the owner of the stall, only to find Alex no longer living there... A family has adopted it... Oma had begged the orphanage manager to tell her the address of her new family Alex... But they are bound by an agreement not to divulge any information about the family of the adopter... Oma returns to Seoul empty-handed, and the grief is deep because Oma is not just losing Youra... But also Oma's grandson Alex..."

"Yeah... Regrets exist so that we understand there are things that cannot be repeated in this world anymore." Sonya muttered.

And with Oma suddenly hugging Sonya, "Alex must love you very much... Because he has given his precious relic to you... Please take care of the ring, and hand it over to your first daughter later..."

Oma wrong... Alex doesn't love me Oma... Alex just loves Anindira... Only Rara can fill Alex's heart.

Sonya nodded, "Yes Oma..."

"Please find Oma once again with Alex... Before returning to Seoul in three days.." pinta Oma.

Sonya distanced her body a little to see Oma, "Oma is coming back to Seoul?" asked Sonya and Oma nodded.

But how do I persuade Alex... If Alex's mood is bad like that...

"But Oma... I can't persuade Alex that fast... He's too stubborn and it'll be hard to change his mind..."

"Oma understand... Looks like Alex took on Oma's nature... If it was like that only time could change his stance... As Oma had experienced, when not a single letter from Youra new Oma felt panic and fear of losing Youra... There must be a therapeutic shock that can change our stance, break down our stubbornness... Stubbornness seems to have declined in our family..."

"I don't promise I'll succeed in persuading Alex, but I'll keep trying until Alex wants to see Oma." Sonya said.

Oma took out a business card from her wallet, "This is Oma's business card... The address of the mobile phone number and phone number of Oma's house in Seoul... You can call Oma when Alex is ready to see Oma later... Now Oma wants to go back to the hotel."

"Would I take you to Oma's hotel?" sonya and Oma asked, shaking,

"Hotel Oma on the top floor of this mall dear... Oma just take the elevator." replied Oma with a sweet smile.

"At least let me drive Oma up to the elevator door." - Sonya.

Oma looked at Sonya, then smiled again, "Alex should choose you to be his wife... You're a woman who doesn't give up easily, baby..."

Alex didn't pick me Oma... But I have to marry me...

"Oma could have been." said Sonya while trying to smile.

Sonya held onto Oma's arm, taking her to the elevator door that went straight to the floor of the five-star hotel that Oma was occupying.

"Oma wait for the good news, yes." exclaimed Oma when she got into the elevator.

"Yes Oma." replied Sonya just before the elevator door closed.
