First Love
Chapters. 20

Mother grabbed the edge of my chin and looked up my head. Looking at my face.

"Why apologize, son? Mother hasn't seen you play for a long time."

"I mean Mother?" many confused.

Mother sighed and sat down beside me. Mother grabbed my head and tidied my hair.

"You and Yudha have a relationship?"

"That's, actually, how's Mother?" confused say.

"Don't be afraid, Terry. Your sister already has a boyfriend. Mommy's not mad if you have a boyfriend too."

"But I'm the same Yudha not dating, Mother."

"But you and Yudha like each other. Aye, right?"

I smiled and looked down. Mother grabbed my face, stroked my forehead gently.

"Yudha seems like a good and mature man. Maybe her family situation is the same as yours, can make you understand each other."

"Mother."

"Terry, if you choose to get married, find a man who will continue to love you. Not only dear, but she also has to respect you."

The aura of Mother's face immediately changed, Mother got up and walked towards the fence. Mother placed both her hands on the fence. His eyes stared blankly at the night sky.

"If someone only loves you without respecting you, he could lie to you and betray you someday, dear." said Mother bitterly.

"But if that person loves you and respects you, he will try to be honest with you. And he will also always try to be faithful to your relationship."

I got up and hugged my mother from behind. What do you mean by this Mother?

Could it be that Dad betrayed Mother and lied to Mother?

"Mother." I turned over Mother's body and tried to look at Mother's face.

"Did you betray our family?" tanyaku carefully.

Mother smiled bitterly and grabbed both of my cheeks.

"No, dear." said Mother with a smile.

"Mother, Terry's an adult. Same story Terry, Mother."

"There is nothing Mother's child. Yaseudah you rest yes." said Mother while walking out the balcony.

"Mother." I'll pull back Mother's hand. Mother cast her eyes on me.

"Terry please Mother. Terry was also hurt by this situation, just a little Mother, a little story the same Terry." refer me to Mother.

Mother grabbed my body and hugged me tightly. I feel Mother's embrace is so very wound-safe.

"I'm sorry, Mother, dear. Forgive Mother who was unable to survive because of a lie from your Father, made Mother destroyed." said Mother Parau.

I felt Mother's cries begin to break, so right, Father who has hurt our family.

"Mother." I pulled Mother's body away.

"Why didn't Mother ever tell me?"

"Mother is afraid that you will hate your Father, son." replied Mommy.

"Why Mother is still that microw, the wrong Dad. So you have the right to risk it too."

"No, Terry. Not all because of Dad's fault. Don't hate your father, son. Your father is sorry, look at your father's life now, son. Don't hate your father, dear." said Mother softly.

"I don't understand, Mother. Why can you say that?"

"Terry, there are things you shouldn't understand, honey. Marriage is not only about the feelings of Mother and Father, but also about two families."

"I mean Mother?"

"First Dad and Mommy married without the blessing of both our parents. Maybe this is the result, Mother and Father who married without the blessing of parents. This marriage was unsuccessful, and caused both of Mother's children to be hurt." Mother wiped off the trail of her tears.

I saw Mother's eyes so hurt. It was only fitting that we never had grandparents. Either from Mother or from Father.

"Your father already has a candidate chosen by his own parents. But your father chose to marry you and leave the house." Mother opened her bitter story again.

"Terry, your dad really loves us, son."

"Then why do you and Mother choose this path? Why is not Mother evidenced by Mother's parents, if Mother and Father can live happily?"

"Mother doesn't know from when, son. But Mommy finally found out that Dad had to re-connect with the girl who used to be tunagan with your Dad."

"What?" i'm surprised.

Somehow, the more I wanted to know the reason for Mother's separation, the more confused I became. It turns out that the relationship between Father and Mother is more complicated than I thought.

Back I hugged Mother's Body, either some of the many burdens that Mother had been carrying. Not knowing who to blame, but this situation was also bitter for the two of them.

Ting, ting's

"What flowers are you looking for, Mom?" ask me while smiling widely.

"You're looking for flowers from Japan." Yudha replied with a smile.

"You want to go for a walk?" ask Yudha directly.

"No."

"Why?"

"Lazy, tired of walking." I answered softly.

"Well, would you like to ride a motorcycle?"

I hit Yudha softly.

"What the hell, Yudha." I said as I pinched Yudha's waist.

"It hurts a lot, Kirei." said Yudha, squinting and writhing her body.

"Still in the piara tuh, crab yes." ledek Yudha back.

For a moment I laughed, I swirled around the lily stem that I was holding. I meant to learn to arrange flowers earlier.

"Terry." call Mother to end our joke.

"Yes, Mother." I gave the flower stalk to Yudha and walked up to Mother behind the cashier.

After Yudha who followed me from behind.

"How's Auntie doing?" Yudha kissed Mother's hand, reverence.

"good. Where you going?" ask Mommy directly.

"You're thinking Terry's way, Auntie. Can you?"

"May, but do not go home late at night, yes" said Mother firmly.

"Good Aunt."

Yudha kissed Mother's hand again. After Yudha came out I kissed Mother's hand.

"Terry, go to Mother."

"Be careful, my dear."

"Yes, Mother." I said as I passed away.

"Terry." call Mommy back before I get out the door.

"Yes, Mother." I turned my face to see Mother behind the cashier's desk.

"Mother is happy to see you laugh again, dear." said Mommy while pouting her smile.

I smiled again and opened the glass door of the flower shop. Yudha was already standing in front of her bike, when she saw me coming out Yudha immediately gave her helmet.

I climbed into Yudha's motorbike, and I put my hands on Yudha's shoulders.

"Ready?" ask Yudha.

"Ready." I said while holding Yudha's shoulder.

"Not here, but there." Yudha moved my hand over her shoulder, pulling my hand around her plate.

"It's a motor, Kirei. Not a bicycle, you can loop later." continued Yudha.

"You're a lot of mode anyway, Yud."

"Udah, stay here." said Yudha as she patted both of my arms around her waist.

I just nodded and shook my head. Yudha's silly behavior still hasn't changed.

Yudha drove his motorbike through the dense road in the afternoon. I don't know where it's going, but I don't care, being alone with him makes me happy enough.

Arriving in the city center, Yudha stopped her red-and-black sport bike at a red light.

"Kirei." call Yudha.

I put my head together to hear what he said.

Not hearing Yudha's words, the sound of the blue-gray sport bike stopped parallel to the Yudha motor.

The rider who was riding the bike opened his helmet glass up. I saw the face of the owner. My eyes are wide.

The man smiled softly, then nodded meaningfully.

The sadness of disappointment piled up from the sight of his eyes. A gentle face that resembled a Chinese person, a yellow face and narrow eyes looked at me with a bitter smile.

Starting from looking at my face, then looking down at my arms around Yudha's waist. He smiled and shook his head, before long his gaze lowered.

When the lights changed, the motor drove very fast. There was guilt and also pain in my heart seeing the man leave.

"Mistress."
