Let Us Unite
Part 120's. Still in the Past
'Plak-plak-plak.' Ayah Johan lalu menampar wajah Johan berkali-kali.
"Don't expect me to endow your relationship with that cheap woman" Johan's father accused Tasya and walked out on leaving both.
Hearing the words of Johan's father, Tasya lowered her head, her tears just grew. He knows he's guilty, he realizes he's cheap but his heart breaks to see Johan slumped. He promised himself that after this he would stay away from Johan's life.
"Hans, I'm sorry I ruined your future" Tasya said with tears still melting.
Johan approached Tasya and hugged the woman tightly. "I will take responsibility, I will marry you with or without my father's blessing" he said.
Tasya. "Don't Hans I don't want your relationship with your father to be strained just because of me."
"Huh." huh." Johan breathed a heavy breath. "This thing I'll think about, now you better go home. Let me take you!"
Tasya nodded and got out of bed. Johan held Tasya's hand out of the place regardless of the eyes of those who looked strangely at them.
While Laurens after running outside the hotel he met the figure of a man who had been his jogging friend.
Abraham ran after Laurens who was running out of the hotel while shedding tears.
"Hey what's up? Why are you crying?" scold Abraham.
"She cheated on you, brother" he said, pouring into Abraham's arms. They did get close after often meeting during the morning run. Even Laurens often confided in his personal problems during this time because he had considered him an older brother but different from Abraham who harbored different feelings of liking for Laurens. But almost a month they did not meet because Abraham had to go to London to handle his company.
"Aren't you married today?" abraham did not understand. He did take the time to go home after hearing Laurens was getting married.
Laurens nodded. "Today I got married and today I got divorced because my husband cheated on me."
Abraham was wide-eyed to hear Laurens say how can the same day there is marriage and divorce in one couple but then Abraham smiled and then pulled Laurens' hand. "Follow me yuk!" bring him.
Laurens shook his head. "I'm stressed out again, brother!" reject it.
"I want to take you for a walk not to be stressed."
"Where's Brother?"
"Have come along." Laurens nodded and followed Abraham.
Laurens thought Abraham would take him for a walk to the beach or to the park or anywhere that could make him forget the event in fact Abraham just took him to a cafe.
"Kok here anyway, brother? What are you doing here?" laurens Protest.
"The name is also a cafe to eat" replied Abraham.
"No appetite" said Laurens. Abraham ordered food for them.
"Let's eat!"
Laurens shook his head.
"You know me that stress again likes to spill over into food. At times like that I like to eat a lot. And trust me after that you will feel satisfied and relieved."
"What time?"
"Yes try it."
Laurens is still shaking. "It'll get fat."
"It will not be accompanied by sport. Exercise is also good for stress control. You see my body's not fat, right?"
Laurens examines Abraham's body is not fat just stocky but it makes it look handsome.
Abraham scooped the food into Laurens' mouth. "Let's try! Aaaa!"
Laurens is still shaking.
"Come on!" abraham looked at Laurens expectantly. Finally Laurens nodded as well and gapingly accepted a bribe from Abraham.
One spoon, two spoons, three spoons Laurens finally took the spoon out of Abraham's hand and scooped his own food.
Abraham watched Laurens eat. The woman indeed today looks greedy either because she has not eaten or because it indeed vented her frustration on the food that must be some of the menus that are served at the table are already barren.
"You don't eat, brother?" laurens asked, realizing that Abraham had not eaten.
Abraham smiled. "Let's not let you spend it."
"It's full!" laurens said spoiled.
"I'm surprised to you, you're stressed out what's hunger anyway?" goda Abraham's.
"She was told to vent annoyance at food, but she was also hungry because since this afternoon I had not eaten."
"Oh yeah, I ate there again!"
"Udah full."
"Then I'll just take you home."
"I still don't want to go home, I'm afraid to remember my problems again. Brother keep me here until I sleep so right home I go straight to sleep."
Abraham nodded. "Well if it wants you."
Finally that night they spent the two of them chatting, especially Abraham took advantage of the moment to entertain Laurens so that they would not fall.
While Ronald panicked because he did not find Laurens anywhere. In the hotel or at home there is nothing. Ask your friends no one knows. He was afraid Laurens would do something unnatural like suicide for example.
"Jack please tell my men to find out Laurens' truth!" his orders are with Jack, his personal assistant.
"Already Master I told them to follow Miss Laurens earlier."
"the results?"
"They said Miss Laurens was having dinner with a man she had met while jogging."
"Send me the video!"
Jack also told his men to record their togetherness.
Ronald could breathe a sigh of relief as he saw Laurens could laugh again. It turns out that the man in front of his daughter can be relied on to entertain Laurens and Ronald was interested in the man because he saw a perfect match with his son.
"Jack, find out the man's identity!"
"Good sir."
It didn't take long for Jack to be able to get information about the man.
"But does she have a boyfriend?"
"Not yet Master he still stops by."
"Is anyone having problems with their personality?"
"No sir."
"Good then."
"Sir, you shouldn't interfere in Miss Laurens' love affairs, I'm afraid that what happened today will happen again." Jack had guessed the direction of Ronald's mind must be the master wanted to match Laurens with the man.
"You don't worry Jack I just want to make sure everything's okay until Laurens is interested in the man but if not, I won't force him, let him make his own choice this time."
"I think it's wiser sir."
Ronald nodded. "Supervise him until he gets home."
"Good sir."
After that, Ronald went to his room.
Day by day Laurens was getting closer to Abraham and it seemed like he was starting to like the man. Yes Laurens feels comfortable if he is next to Abraham because in addition to his adult thinking the man is so considerate of Laurens.
One day Abraham invited Laurens to meet at the same cafe at that time. Now they are both sitting in chairs. Even Laurens is eating his food now.
"Rens, there's something I want to talk to you about."
"Speaking up, sister, seriously," said Laurens.
"I'm serious Rens" Abraham said, staring unblinkingly at Laurens.
Seeing Abraham's serious gaze Laurens stopped his eating activities. He just put the spoon down.
"What the hell are you talking about, sister?"
"I love you and I want to propose to you" Abraham said to the point.
"Seriously?"
"Yes I'm serious."
Hearing Abraham Laurens' heart flowered. Apparently he loves that guy too. Laurens smiled and then the smile disappeared while remembering something more important than just their feelings. Abraham noticed Laurens' change in face.
"Why Rens, don't you like what I said?"
"It's not so, brother, but we can't possibly unite."
"Why? Don't you love me?" Abraham knows Laurens may not have forgotten her ex-husband but she doesn't matter as long as Laurens is willing to try to love her.
"That's far beyond just feeling sister."
"Is it about your parents' blessing?"
Laurens shook his head. "It's about religion. Our religion is different Brother and in my religion a woman is not allowed to marry a man outside our religion."
"I'll follow your religion." Abraham said that. Laurens looked up and heard Abraham's words, and then he shook his head.
"Don't you sacrifice your religion for love. You better find another woman who is in the same religion because I'm sure out there must be many women who like Big Brother." Finally the words came out too even when saying it there was pain in the chest.
Abraham held Laurens' hand. "I'm serious Rens, actually all this time I've been studying your religion and I'm starting to be interested but I still need guidance. I beg you that we will live together teach me yes!"
"Sister, is Brother serious?" Look at Laurens face of Abraham.
"A thousand percent" said Abraham. "You yes!"
Laurens pretended to think. "Absolutely accept it?"
"As if accepted, do you still doubt me? Want ya!" reworked.
Laurens nodded nothing to doubt from Abraham even the man was willing to risk everything to get himself.
"Yes Brother." Abraham hugged Laurens' body.
"Thank you Rens."
"Yes, sister, but let go of her embrace, I can't breathe."
"Okay, wait!" Abraham took his arms off Laurens and walked away from him to one of the servants there. Then followed the waiter into a room. Laurens thought Abraham would give her flowers or a ring or something like a romantic couple in general.
Laurens was disappointed when Abraham walked out empty-handed with nothing. Abraham was not a romantic man.
"Ngapain pouting?" abraham asked, looking at Laurens's face that looked sour.
"Remain Sister to the back?"
"I bought this cafe for you."
"What?"
"Yes I bought this cafe because this cafe is a witness that you received my love."
Laurens bobbing head. "Sister, Brother! To the whole thing."
"That's a sign that I'm serious about you."
"Serious Brother really?" Abraham nodded.
"You want to follow my religion?" Abraham nodded again.
"Then get ready it's cut!" point Laurens at something behind Abraham's pants.
"What?!" Abraham swerved while holding his gun. He seems to love it when it's stacked.
"If you don't want to, don't get married," teased Laurens while giggling.
"Yes for the love of whatever I do."
