If I Could Choose
39.
"Who's boong, Joe.. Joz?" there was a heavy voice interrupting the laughter blaring the roar of eating it.
Who else, if not the king and queen of the house, the laughter stopped immediately, replaced by silence. Manda Bener actually cools with laughter at the expression of her two brothers who are silent because of the father and mother came.
" Eh there's Lio. Why did it come so early? Feeling insecure with Kenan huh? " the father's tease that morning looks in a good mood, may have teased each other with the mother earlier in the room.
" Yes dad, good morning. Lio wants something to say about it, Dad!" lio said politely. While both of Manda's brothers just keep quiet, because they know this will be no bloodshed.
" Want to say now what will it be after dad has breakfast? What's so important it can't be delayed?" asked the father worriedly, actually in the heart of the father, he was worried that Lio would cancel the marriage with his son. But looking at Manda's face which still looks happy, silent silence inside.heart father somewhat relieved.
" From breakfast."
" Well, we'll talk in the workspace. So good to talk about it." continued Dad was not as stiff as the first time they met.
They then chatted casually while enjoying breakfast. Joe and Joz whisper while kicking each other's feet, as they both think that this peace is only temporary, before the rainstorm comes.
" Let's go, Lio, I'm done with breakfast. We'll have a private conversation in the workspace" said the father, who invited Lio to the usual workroom where the father, Joe and Joz talked about work.
" Oh dad, I'm sorry, for this conversation I need to be with Manda. Because this is related to Manda as well" Lio said very politely. The cold sweat had actually come out but Lio kept her from looking nervous. Though Manda was very stressed approaching the time to talk with father.
Dad was very suspicious of this young couple, he turned his head and looked at Manda and returned to Lio again. But his wish will be fulfilled when they tell stories, right? Without wasting any time dad immediately took them to the study. It was unexpected that the twins asked to come along.
" Dad, uhm Joe thinks we should come too, afraid that I'm confused that later we can help my father." when Joe means to come along because I don't want you to act anarchist with Manda.
" Why do you follow too? Is this Lio aama's business?" his father was increasingly astonished and suspicious.
" Yes, we're father's family, so it's our business." Jeals Joz again.
" Haiz, okay, I'm getting curious about what you're going to say. I hope your heart is strong with what you will say." said the father as he walked towards the job.
They are like a baby duck who follows his mother to walk in accompaniment to Noto's father's workroom, even the mother finally invited him to the workspace.
" Nh now we're here. What do we want to tell you, son Lio?" ask me for a trgas sound.
" Dad, Lio and Manda would like to admit something, but believe me father, this is all Lio, so Lio would be responsible for Manda."
" Sik sik briefly to, what does this mean? Daddy doesn't understand. By the way don't spit so you can understand." cut dad in a surprised tone.
" I'm a gini yeah.." Lio told me what had happened to him at the club that night, not in detail and too detailed. The point is that he took Manda's chastity because he was framed.
" A a - yeah?" call Joe stuttering because he's nervous or scared?
" Do you know?" asked the father while turning to Joe and again sighed with the casher when he saw the nods from Joe and Joz. Turns out he was the last old fool to know? Dad just smiled smirk. After he sighed, father immediately invited Manda who was sitting somewhat hidden behind Lio.
" Manda!"
" Dad, don't be mad at Manda. It's also Lio's fault." Lio instantly put on the body. He was not willing if Manda was angry or even later slapped by his father.
" Soge!! I just want to talk to my son" said the father coldly. Joe and Joz stared at each other, knowing this was what they were afraid of. Manda will be chased by his father for not being able to maintain his chastity.
" Dad!! Don't father, love Manda." defended Joz for looking at the frightened Manda and already started crying because her puckish father called her closer. Manda yakut if he was slapped by his father, because he had lied.
" Manda.." call her mother gently. His mother's position was to sit next to Manda's father. Manda's father still put on his flat face, while his mother also cried to hear Lio's story.
Manda took a breath and strengthened her heart, she thought she had to face everything. To ease your anger is the only way. Manda was standing about to approach her mother's father, Lio's hands blocked her arms and looked at her with a worried look, but Manda let go of her check and gave a stern look, as if nothing would happen to him if he obeyed the orders of his mother's father.
" I'm sorry, mother. Manda is wrong, Manda is willing to be punished. But don't separate Manda from Mas Lio, dad!" manda whispered softly while looking down, he could not say a word while looking at his mother's father, a little he said while looking at his mother's father, surely his tears would not be able to stop. He feels guilty.
Dad just let out a rough sigh, he then said with his firm and cold voice.
" Daddy is disappointed in you, nduk! Holiness is like a door you must guard. Taj there is a man who can enter it without a valid hammer tap when Ijab kabul. "
" Dad.." Mom just held dad's arm as Manda squashed down on his dad's leg.
The actions of Manda who knelt at the feet of her mother's father to beg for forgiveness were also followed by Lio, even Joe and Joz did the same. They only hope that their father and mother will forgive their mistakes. This time it felt like their mistake had left his mother's father injured.
