...The Ice is Melting...
Saturday morning was a good day for Long An. Witnessed by the light blue sky and stretched wide without limits. The weather is really bright and supportive for camping. Long An deliberately planned this all. To bring his mother and Ravindra closer. Long An felt, their hearts intertwined. Although both are silent. They may not know how to express feelings and interests. He will also look for evidence directly. About Ravindra is really his father or not. Assisted by Mrs Meri and the twins.
After traveling for a while. The bus arrived at a large green meadow with a small flowing river. There are several other visitors who have built tents for camping. Triple Kancil looks soaring with excitement. Mrs Meri who has not had a picnic immediately danced ballet cheerfully.
While Irene immediately dropped off some luggage. Ravindra just folded her hands around her chest and leaned against the wall of the bus. Irene who saw Ravindra was just silent and unhelpful, grumbling in annoyance. Then, Irene picked up a bag and threw it towards Rava.
“Wou!” Ravindra shouted while holding the bag thrown at her.
“Hei! What strange woman is it now?” tanya Ravindra looked annoyed.
“What is your function as a man here? If it doesn't help?” Irene asked back.
Ravindra could only resist being annoyed.
“I'm a real man understand?!”
“Prove.” ledek Irene.
Ravindra immediately ordered Mr. Albert to bring all the belongings and build a tent. Irene who saw Ravindra's attitude was upset by herself.
“Basic, hedgehog hair man.” taunts Irene with annoyance. He then walked after the others.
Heard Irene's words. Ravindra looked coldly. Then pull Irene's arm and push her until Irene's body is cornered on the wall of the bus. Ravindra looked at Irene coldly. Irene tried to wriggle for Rava to release her. However, Rava held onto Irene's shoulder tightly.
“Don't ruin my image by calling so.” Rava stared with a cold look.
Irene smiled, “Indeed like that is reality Mr. hedgehog hair.”
“Ka... you?!” Ravindra was upset.
Irene tried to wriggle for Rava to release her. But Rava continued to hold Irene's body. Until Irene ran out of patience and immediately stepped on Rava's foot hard.
“Arght!!” Rava tried to endure the pain in his leg. He looked at Irene with great annoyance.
While Irene smiled and waltzed away. Irene was not a weak woman like other women. Even though he grew up in an orphanage. But his life had been tempered with the rigors of life. Accompanied by suffering and misfortune. So, it naturally shaped his personality to be strong and not want to be oppressed just like that. If it's not wrong.
Triple Kancil and Mistress Meri who saw the scene between Irene and Rava just giggled. As a result who set up the tent is Mr. Albert accompanied by Mrs Meri. Irene prepares the food. While Rava just sits casually propping up his chin like a sultan. He is sultan. His face was still shrouded in annoyance because of Irene's actions just now.
“Uncle! Let's catch a fish.” Suddenly Long An pulls Ravindra's hand.
“No.”
“Come uncle!” Long An continued to pull Rava's hand. Take him to the river.
Although Rava looks lazy. He followed Long An.
“Come uncle! We caught a fish!” Long An again invites Rava into the river that is not too deep.
“Master Handsome, come on! comeing! we catch fish.” Bring the twins.
Although Rava was lazy, he would not obey the boys. Long An had already set up a trap at the end of the river using twigs. To prevent the fish from swimming. He and the twins ran away and drove the fish from the other direction.
“Come uncle! we caught a fish!” invite Long An while running around the river to drive the fish to the trap.
Triple Kancil looks very carefree. Rava simply folded his hands on his chest and stared lazily with childish activities like this.
“Kids! catch a big fish. Don't let the Lord hedgehog hair win!” Irene cheered on the Triple Kancil.
Rava who heard Irene's words was annoyed. His pride is taking over his body now. He doesn't want to be humiliated. So, as fast as lightning Rava ran away to dispel the fish. Irene who witnessed Rava also drove away the fish. Showing a smile.
After the banished fish began to be trapped trapped made by Long An. Long An immediately took out a special fishing net. The twins also caught up. They get fish. The twins caught a fish of the same size. Long An managed to catch one fish that was quite large. They cheered with excitement.
“Surge! Now it's my turn. I'll catch the biggest fish here.” said Ravindra while hobbling water.
Triple Kancil laughs at Ravindra's behavior.
“Garden hedgehog hair, use the net.” said Long An while thrusting a net.
Triple Kancil cheers in support of Rava. Play water with joy. At first they were excited. But for a long time Triple Kancil began to fatigue, because Rava had not managed to catch fish. It is difficult to catch fish in the water by hand. The fish is definitely slippery. But Rava insisted. He wants to be superior to the Triple Kancil. Rava continued to try until it did not feel daylight changed by evening.
Everyone was sitting enjoying the campfire over dinner. But Rava was still busy catching fish.
“Uncle! stop, eat first.” Shouted Long An. But ignored by Rava.
“I must successfully catch fish.” Rava encouraged himself.
For a while Rava continued to search. Everyone gets bored and eventually goes to sleep. Rava is still trying hard. In the end, he caught a fish.
“Hei! look, I managed to catch a fish! Am I not great?!” Shouted Rava excitedly. He boasted of catching fish.
However, Rava was surprised when on the river bank there was no one. Except for Irene who was seen sitting relaxed while enjoying a cup of hot coffee.
“Where is everyone?” ask Rava.
“They went to bed, tired of seeing you catch fish.” Irene answered casually while sipping hot coffee.
The irritated Rava instantly returned the fish to the water. He rushed up to the land. It is a waste of struggle, if no one sees. As he walked, Irene immediately thrust a glass of coffee at Rava. Both of them were enjoying hot coffee. Accompanied by the flowing river. In the sky, the stars and the moon were smiling, showing beauty.
Rava sat down beside Irene. For a moment they were silent. But it didn't last long. As Irene's voice broke the silence.
“Thanks.” Irene said short.
“No need to thank.”
“But I still have to thank you. Long An could laugh as cheerfully as today. Anyway, I have to thank whoever made my son happy.”
Rava looked at Irene deeply.
“Then what about you? you happy?”
Irene just smiled.
“My question the other day. Why is your heart so warm?” rava asked with a meaningful look at Irene.
Irene turned her head and looked at Rava.
“I don't know. What a warm heart is like. But when I have Long An, my heart no longer feels lonely. I felt happiness I never felt. Here too..” point Irene at her heart. Then he continued talking.
“Here, there is my late father. Every memory with her keeps my heart warm.” Irene smiled gently.
When Irene recalls the memories with her father. On one side of his heart he felt sad. But sadness, will not be able to take over the warmth of a memory with the person he loves.
“So that?”
Rava looked at Irene with a meaningful gaze. His cold eyes, now turned even more tenderly.
“Then, why is your heart so cold?” Irene asked as she looked at Rava.
Rava just stared at Irene deeply. From his eyes was sadness. Without Irene guessing, Rava directly leaned against Irene's shoulder. Irene was surprised by Rava's attitude. Suddenly his heart was racing. As if someone has been repeatedly. Irene tried to avoid. However, Rava immediately held onto Irene's hand.
“Stay like this. Don't go anywhere. Let it be for a while I feel the warmth of your heart.” said Rava gently.
Irene inevitably let Rava lean on her shoulder. His face looks red. However, Irene was trying to control herself.
“You have warm memories with your father. But instead, the memories I had created ice in my heart. Make my heart cold and frozen.” said Rava, there is a sadness tone from every sentence he said.
“Why don't you melt the ice in your own heart?” asked Irene who was gradually starting to understand why Rava could be that cold.
“I can't do it alone. Do you want to melt the ice in my heart and warm it up? Of course with little Long An. I think it would be complete if it were like that. So, can I feel the warmth of your heart?” asked Rava with a deep look. Irene looked meaningfully.
Heard Rava's question. Irene was so stuck. He could only stare towards Rava who was leaning on his shoulder. They looked at each other inside. Accompanied by the sound of the two heartbeats that cross each other.
Without both knowing. Long An peeked out from behind the tent. Take out a little head. He was holding Chanmei on it. Then, Meichan was rather tall compared to the two. The last one is Mrs Meri. The four of them smiled and felt the romance between Irene and Rava.
Papa, me and mama will warm your heart Long An said with a warm smile.
