Like a Former Nail
Episode 14.2 END
“You mean Papa and Mama Rion to our house?” gebri asked with a laugh considering how the look of an adult that is very similar to Rion, a face romance that–may– will reflect the figure of Rion in the next few years, and immediately Gebri's eyes immediately bulged.
“So right he's Rion's parents?” tanya Galang grunted.
“Mbak will be home now.”
Gebri quickly disconnected his phone call, then began to change his home clothes into jeans and long-sleeved shirts.
His movements seemed to be in a hurry to pick up the wallet on the sideboard and the backpack behind the door. Now Gebri is really worried. He should go to Solo immediately, making sure his mother is okay. Not bad thinking, just anticipation. A person's good or bad intentions no one knows, right?
When passing through the boarding fence Wisma Bestari, at that time also the super white car stopped in front of him and then showed the figure of Rion who today wears a long-sleeved shirt patterned with stripes.
“Where are you going, Geb?” rion asked after standing right in front of Gebri.
“Why do you always harass my family?”
As much as possible Gebri tried to think positively about what was going on in his house now, but it was still unable to fade the negative things that were coming to him. The anger gradually piled up.
“What do you mean?”
“Why can your parents be at my house?” gebri said before his head wiggled, turning to find out whether the online motorcycle taxi service he booked was already around the boarding house Wisma Bestari.
“You mean?” Rion really did not understand the direction of this conversation.
Since meeting with his parents two days ago, Rion has never met them again, nor has he visited the house in Bale Hinggil. Rion was still irritated, impressed angry at Adrian and Raya. How can they say that without ever speaking to him first, let alone they say in front of Gebri who until now was still reluctant to accept his proposal.
“Where are you going?”
Rion pulled Gebri's wrist as the thick browed virgin did not rub him, instead walking away.
“Ke Solo. To my house.”
“We go together,” said Rion half forced Gebri to get in the car.
¬^_^
Gebri knew the car, the same car he met in front of the boarding house Wisma Bestari a few days ago, a black car that seemed luxurious and elegant, of course at a pretty fantastic price. When the Toyota Yaris they were driving stopped, Gebri hurriedly got out of the car. Despite trying to keep thinking positively, but this heart remains unsettled, constantly worried. He was so afraid that the two middle-aged figures would hurt his mother, even though he was sure they would not physically hurt, but wasn't the mouth more dangerous than any weapon?
What he imagined was not what he saw. Doesn't seem to be fighting there. The three adult postures looked friendly, like old friends who met again after not meeting for several years. Their faces looked radiant, the sound of their voices chiming in each other in a carefree tone.
“Gebri,” said Rasti after realizing the arrival of Gebri and Rion who were standing at the door. “Why are you and Rion here?” Rasti took a glance towards Rion who looked astonished, then he got up close to them.
“Rion.” Raya also went unpretentious, her body also brought closer to her son.
“Come, login!” take Rasti while leading Gebri to move from his position and sit on one of the sofas facing Adrian, followed by Raya who also brought Rion on the long sofa that he and Adrian sat on.
“So why are you and Gebri here? No schedule for college?” adrian asked with a glance.
“Why Papa and Mama can be here?” rion asked as he looked at his parents alternately, ignoring the question of the only adult male in the living room.
“We want to talk about matchmaking—”
“I don't want to marry anyone but Gebri,” said Rion almost shouted.
Adrian who listened to the sentence of his youngest son spontaneously gave a small laugh. This misunderstanding still occurs. Not only the nosed figure, Raya and Rasti also giggled behind their smiles.
Rion and Gebri's forehead frowned. Not understand. But not a single question sentence came out of their mouths, just letting out the sound of laughter and flirting that was directed towards them.
“Then from that Papa and Mama came here,” Adrian said after the sound of his laughter subsided a little. “We came here intending to match you with Gebri. As well as applying for you.”
Raya suddenly rose from her couch, approached Gebri and took a seat right beside him, until now Gebri was in the middle of it and Rasti. Then he took Gebri's hand and clasped it tightly, hoping that this warmth could be conveyed.
Adrian glanced at Rion for a moment, before looking at Gebri and chiming in, “We know that saying sorry will not be enough to reduce the pain you have been enduring all this time. We've made you suffer too much.”
“So let Rion come back in charge, let Rion marry you, make up for all his mistakes and we have all this time,” added the teary Kingdom.
Gebri's head then turned to look at his mother, staring at the bead behind the glasses.
Rasti who was aware of Gebri's confusion immediately grabbed onto his shoulders. “When you have carried out the role of a parent later, you will definitely understand what Papa and Mama Rion did, he said, because there is no action of a parent in this world who intends to plunge his child.”
“Force us. Forgive us for making you suffer,” lirih Raya on the sidelines sobs her tears.
Rasti rubbed Gebri's head. “The past cannot be reconstructed. But don't let the past snare you. There is still a future we have to live.”
“Im sorry, Son. Forgive us and let us make amends for our mistakes so far,” is still in a huff that is getting louder, Raya continues to dismiss apologies, while Gebri still continues to sting.
^_^
Gebri actually wanted to stay, but remembered that tomorrow there was a quiz of Pancasila Education course and finally he was in Rion's car that was splitting the streets of Raya Solo. Today was totally unexpected. After five years had passed, it had never been imagined in his brain that he would experience something like this. His eyes glanced towards the steering wheel, looking at Rion who since getting into the car always put on a bright sparkling face. He looks very happy and happy.
“Geb!” Rion turned to Gebri for a moment, and their eyes met.
Gebri's head hurriedly turned his eyes towards the front, looking at the road that contained a red car that was also splitting the Solo Highway. Suddenly his face blushed, embarrassed to be caught looking at Rion.
“Gebri!” call Rion again.
“Yes? What's up?” Gebri said without turning his head.
“How about that proposal?” As long as they were at Gebri's parents' house, not once did he mention the proposal that had been the topic of their conversation several times, only letting how his father expressed the intention of their arrival. “Kemarin Koning told me, about your disappointment, like a nail mark,” he continued when Gebri showed no signs of returning his words.
Gebri's head now fell towards Rion, looking at him fixedly.
“Past time cannot change. But trust me I will always make you happy, always make you smile until you never remember again the events of five years ago, like the chalk walls that closed the nail marks. I will be the chalk of the wall that will seal your disappointment all along even though I know that feeling will not really be lost in your heart,” said Rion while once glancing towards Gebri who was still staring at him.
Suddenly the sound of laughter rang out, forcing Rion to frown. His brain began to react, starting to wonder, was there such a funny word that made this Gebri sitting next to him be able to let out such a ripple? And he hasn't seen her in a long time, still looking pretty like he used to.
“What's up?” rion asked who decided to ask, he found no answer that could explain Gebri's reaction.
“Sok is so poetic!” gebri answered with her little laughs.
“Hah?”
“It was also what Koning said when I said it like you. So poetic!”
Rion's forehead frowned. But he didn't ask further. There's more to it than that poetic talk. Then he turned on the turn lights, pulled the car over at a mini market. “So how about that proposal?”
“If the month now I can't. I—“
“Our parents have agreed. But why do you still reject me?” cut Rion quickly, his eyes were already glazed, his attitude back crybaby when it came to Gebri.
He used to be able to hold back that line when he thought his parents would not approve of wanting to propose to Gebri, but now the situation is different. Both of their parents agreed. But why Gebri still rejects it. And true to the wise words she heard, women cry because they feel not strong with a hurt heart and men cry because they always want the woman they love to come back.
“If this month I can't. I have a lot of college work. We can hold our wedding after the end of the semester exam,” explained Gebri while putting his palm next to Rion's hand on the steering wheel, venturing to hold it.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! HAPPY ENDINGS!
