I CHOOSE FAITHFULNESS
When Love Starts to Blaze

Five years ago....

"Mother.., father...!" Shouted Aura when she came home from school, it was customary for Aura to shout to call her parents when she came to school.

"Oh son, don't yell so, shame!" Said Ratmi hit his son softly on the lips while hinting that there is currently someone else in his house.

"Who's mom?" Whisper Aura, steal a glance with the man who is currently sitting with his Father.

"So you accidentally nudged Keanu on the street." Agus answered explaining.

"So, it's called Keanu!" exclaimed Aura with eyes that could not be separated from Keanu.

"You get changed, we'll have lunch!" The words of her mother that made Aura wake up from her daydream.

The aura that had been daydreaming Keanu blushed in embarrassment as Keanu stared and smiled at him.

"Yes mom, I'll go to the room first!" With a quick step Aura disappeared from the face of keanu and also his parents.

Instead of immediately changing her uniform, Aura continued the unfinished daydream earlier.

He dropped his body on a mattress that was not soft anymore, but still felt comfortable to dream beautiful.

Imagine how handsome the man was, his skin was white, even he was not as white as keanu, with a sharp nose adding to the charm he had.

"Oh..the creation of such a perfect god!"

...※※※※...

"Sorry again, son of Keanu!" Said Agus, he was quite guilty for accidentally touching Keanu who was walking.

"It's okay, sir, I'm the one who thanked him for lunch."

"Yes, because of Aura who overslept, you waited just now." There was a bit of drama about lunch. Aura who went into the room to change clothes actually slept and made Ratmi's mother have to wake her first.

Keanu smiled considering how difficult Aura was when he woke up earlier.

"No problem mom. Yes, I'll excuse you, sir, ma'am." Keanu said goodbye.

Although he had been offered to be escorted home, Keanu refused on the grounds that he would meet his friend.

Keanu felt the warmth of being in the midst of the Aura family, it had been a long time that he had not spent time with his family, he said, the last time he felt gathered with his family was shortly before his brother left for abroad to pursue his education.

While Keanu still rejects the desire of his father to follow in the footsteps of his brother, as a result he still has not continued his education to any campus.

Opening his personal journal book, Keanu began writing word for word according to his current feelings, recalling the moment he met Aura, the innocent girl who stole his attention earlier, the cheerful and feisty girl, who was a very happy girl, as if having no problems in his life is very envious, maybe if he can get close to him, he will be transmitted that positive energy.

tock..tok...

The sound of the door being knocked from outside the room, immediately strangely hiding his journal book and walking with lazy steps to open the door of his room.

"What's the mah?" Ask Keanu.

"You're called papa!" It turned out that Siska had come with an edict from her husband.

"Papa...?, what do you want to do again mah?" Keanu asked back, because Keanu and Rian were in a cold war, after the last time talking with his papa was ended by taking each other out veins.

"It looks like papa's gonna talk important."

"Definitely a matter of college again, I don't want to go to college outside like big brother, you know I'm hard to socialize."

Rian already has a plan for each of his children. Like Kenzo, the older brother who had previously studied abroad, now it was Keanu's turn. There are similarities of so many differences between the brothers, they are difficult to socialize, open new friendships and mingle with each other. They prefer to be busy with their own money.

"Mama knows, but you know what papa looks like. Better to meet papa first, before papa gets angry."

"Yes mah!" Keanu pasrah. Freely continued to persuade Siska, because Siska was as helpless as Keanu in front of her husband.

With a gontai step Keanu walked towards his papa's study.

It is true that the saying goes, the fruit fell not far from the tree, as hard as Rian asked Keanu to follow his wishes, as hard as Keanu rejected it.

"What do you think you can do? all this time you only rely on parents, is it not natural that papa determines your future?"

"Well, if you think the future can be determined by yourself, please go find your own future." Threaten Rian to his son .

Siska, who was also in the room, was shocked to hear her husband pose a threat to her youngest child.

"What do you mean, mas? you're not gonna throw our kid out, are you?" Tanya Siska stroked her husband's chest.

"Let this boy feel his own decision."

A hardened jaw held every unspoken word, a reddened eye held back the tears that were about to be melted. The closed eyes wished they had never heard that phrase. But the ego within that forces Keanu to take a different path from what his parents had directed. Accept every threat that throws his papa for self-respect.

Siska who saw keanu coming out of the workspace her husband immediately ran after his youngest child.

"Nu, wait for mama!"

"Nu, papa doesn't mean that, right now papa is angry, papa is like that because you love Nu." As a mother, Siska continued to persuade her son, giving her understanding of why her husband was doing so.

"Ma, forgive Keanu...!" only that word could be said, it was hard to leave his family, but he had to do that to aim

Siska returned to her husband's work, asking that her husband change his decision and lower his ego, succumbing to what Keanu wanted.

"Mas, keanu's gone, he's packing his clothes." Siska riled.

"Let's just say, let's see how long he'll stay out there, it's easy to finance his own life."

"Mas, you have the heart. What if he never comes back?"

"No way, he won't last long." Rian was confident he would win against his son. Keanu must have come back and followed what he wanted.

Siska cried out in her heart and that was her only courage. Vaping annoyance to two very stubborn men, son and papa no one wants to budge.

...※※※※...

Walking down the streets of the city with a bag full of his personal belongings, not much strange to carry, just a few clothes, and money that he deliberately saved from the remnants of his pocket money.

It has been a year Keanu is unemployed, has no activity, just goes with his friends to spend free time.

"Keanu huh?" Asked by someone who also crossed the same road as him, Keanu immediately raised his head to see who was talking to him.

"Why should you look at my current condition?" Ask in your heart, Feeling ashamed of yourself

"H-huh....!" Answer keanu awkwardly.

"Where are you going to take that bag? escape huh?" Not his name Aura if not ignorant with his words.even though it was with people he just knew.

Keanu just silently could not answer. Looking at Keanu's expression, Aura chuckled, saying,

"Handering...!" Said Aura hitting Keanu's arm.

The sparkling eyes were blown away with the laughter of such a detached Aura. As if to mean that his current problem is not a matter of weight, depending on how we run it.

"You're right, I left the house!" Keanu replied later, why he really wanted to be honest with Aura. Previously it was difficult for Keanu to open up, especially to new people.

"So, where are you going now? Aura asked who was only answered with a headband.

"I know...! come with me!" Aura pulled Keanu's hand, just as keanu's heart skipped a beat with a sudden touch.

They were hired not far from Bela's house.

"You can stay here, it just so happens that this contract is empty."

"This is your parents' contract?" Keanu asked as he looked at the lined up contract.

"Hahaha..if so, but unfortunately, no. we also contracted." Aura replied without any embarrassment to her family condition.

Keanu increasingly admired the personality that Aura had, although with the lack of economy, he did not make it a burden.

"Well, I'll stay here!"

Keanu had already set himself to start his new life in this contract and be with the sweet girl who was in front of him at this moment.
