Istanbul and its surroundings still face summer. But not an extreme summer with temperatures above 30 degrees. Well, even in the Turkish Capital has experienced temperatures up to 30 degrees in the last week, but only last for 2 hours the same.
Just like today. At noon, the temperature outside reached 28 degrees. Then slowly down, until it reaches the number 26, at night.
Elder and Diego are seen sitting on a park bench next to the house. In front of them was a table, on which were several bottles of beer and snacks.
"You missed home all of a sudden?" ask Diego while opening the bottle.
"Or, unconsciously drive and end up here?" guess Diego who then glanced at Elder's face.
No doubt about it. The surprised face of the son that was clearly painted, had already given him an answer. His guess is 100 percent accurate.
Without asking again. Diego handed a bottle of beer he had just opened to his son. Then take another bottle, and lift it.
"Wouldn't make a toast to my dad?" ask Diego.
Seeing that the father had already raised the bottle, even opening a bottle of beer for him, left Elder with no other choice. He avoided alcohol when he was at the bar. But when at home, it was precisely the father who thrust it himself.
Without much thought, Elder picked up the bottle that was already open. Then lift it up and stick the bottle with the father's.
The sound of 'Ting' sounded clear. The two men who were both adults started to gulp down the cold beer casually.
"Dad not afraid you know?" ask Elder.
"Hoho, are you worried about me, son? You're an adult apparently," Diego's laughter sounded crisp.
"I just don't want to see Dad sleeping in the living room like he used to."
UHUK
Instantly, the beer that had not been swallowed perfectly made Diego choke, until it coughed several times. Clearly, it was because of Elder's remark that made him shocked.
Suddenly, the memories of the past flashed. At least 15 years ago, when Aishe kicked Diego out of his room. It all started with Diego coming home drunk, after meeting Emil, Eraz, Rehan and some of his right hands.
An upsetting incident for Aishe, but beautifully remembered by Diego. Yes, the memories that always make her smile are as they are today, in the presence of her first child.
"That wouldn't. Your mother must know that father and son are talking together" explained Diego who later got a nod of the head from his son.
"So, what makes your mind full?" asked Diego as he spread his back on the back of the chair.
"About the girl who works at your residence? Actually, I don't have a problem with him if you get married."
Hearing Diego's words, the Elder immediately turned his head. Thinking about how far his father knew. Be it about her cooperation with Beyza or her feelings.
"Hey, why are you so tense? Calm yourself, I'll tell you a story."
Diego's words did not immediately make Elder take a deep breath and become rilex. The man looked tense, although he tried to calm down, as Diego said.
"Not long before you were born. I've fallen in love, with a very tough girl." Diego looked up, looking up at the clear sky with sparkling stars shining.
"No need to guess, she's your mother. Women are simple, tough, determined, and meticulous. The thing you never know is, she's an orphan, and I found her on an island, she was stranded."
The Elder's tense face slowly changed. He clearly understood, where the father was talking. Although the old man described with his love story.
"Together, we fall in love. Or maybe, because we found a sense of security and comfort. Or also, because of something else that can't be spelled out."
The two men looked at each other in the sky. The same sky, but at a different point. Things become quiet for a while.
Diego's words seemed to have managed to unravel the knot in Elder's heart that had been tangled for several days.
"What, once did grandparents not oppose you? So, what about the public? Also BIN?"
Diego laughed. A laugh so loud that it made the Elder confused. Is the question too funny?
Sure didn't.
All because it was Diego who finally knew, which knot he had to break in his son's mind.
"There's nothing easy in love, son. I fought, your mother fought. Not only for the stability of the company, but also your grandmother and grandfather who used to be very proud."
After that, no words came out of their mouths for a few minutes. Yes, at least 10 minutes, the atmosphere was quiet. Only the sound of steam beer was heard several times when opened Diego.
Until in the end, Elder took out his beer bottle. Then he picked it up, asked the father to make a toast.
"Thank you, Father," said the Elder, smiling at his father.
