Love In Longing

Love In Longing
Ct. 31 (New Name )


' It's okay to talk to our son! '


Cla muttered in his heart. Although grumbling, in fact the sentence, the delusion managed to make him blush in shame. Because if that day really came, then something big must have happened.


Where is something he has never imagined before. Something very sensitive to discuss.


"Why are those smiles?" ask Arsen.


Cla just shook his head in response.


"Eum..." Arsen stopped his footsteps, then faced Cla as he was about to get to his car.


"Hm?" cla asked looking fixed at the lover of hearts in front.


"Can I exchange phones?" ask Arsen.


Cla squinted his forehead. "For what?"


"I just want to provide better protection for your phone." said Arsen. "So it's not easy to hack."


"On hacks?" ask Cla.


"Yes, now Victor does track you often... But maybe he'll hack your phone?"


"Hacked my phone?"


"Hm!" reply Arsen.


Cla seemed to think a little before making a decision. "All right!" the answer then took the phone from the bag still hanging on his shoulder, then handed it to Arsen.


Arsen pulls his phone out of his pants pocket and hands it to Cla.


"My cell phone lock code today!" arsen said that he offered his phone after receiving Cla's phone.


"Oh.. Okay!" clarice answered receiving Arsen's phone which was one type and one model with hers. "My code is 181818!"


"Why code that easily?" ask Arsen.


"No idea, just the origin!" cla Seasal answered the answer. Though there is a hidden meaning of the number 18 used by Cla. "Isn't it okay I'm using this phone?" ask Cla.


"Why not, Baby? Just wear it as you like.." Arsen pinched the jubilant cheek of Cla who immediately smiled as Arsen's fingers touched his cheek.


"There's no secret here?" cla asked with a spoiled smile.


"There!" reply Arsen.


"What?" cla asked looking at Arsen with unblinking eyes.


"Find it yourself..." Arsen pinched Cla's nose and wiggled slowly. He would have bitten that nose if he hadn't been here.


"Guah!" Cla pulled Arsen's hand slowly to get out of his nose. "Will no other woman contact you?" tanya as if she was interrogating her lover.


"There!"


"Who?" Cla squinted his eyes at this one problem.


"Mama!" answer Arsen with a small tickle.


Cla pursed his lips as he felt the middle of the prank by Arsen. And that triggers an increasingly anxious feeling inside Arsen.


"But there's only your number here, isn't there?" ask Cla. "There's no other friend's number."


"What to talk to other friends for. Just talk to me..."


"Yeah chatting casually like with Gwen, or something else."


"Whose other?" tanya Arsen is half cynical. "Victor?"


"No!" sahut Cla quickly, did not want Arsen misunderstood him. "I rarely talk to him..."


"Good!" answer the racer. "I'll send you Gwen's number later." said Arsen.


"Okay!" answer Cla spirit.


"Hm... Bye, Sayaang!" Cla answered by pinning a title that made Arsen not so step.


One call that made his heart shake violently. Before this he had indeed dated when he was still Junior High School in Bandung. But it used to feel very ordinary, probably just because of the love of monkeys. And not 100% sincere.


And this time, when Cla called him that, something really felt like shaking inside. In the deepest recesses of the heart.


Arsen slightly eroded the distance, brought his face closer to Cla, and spoke...


"I love you so much, Baby." said Arsen in a voice that really rang deep into the ear. And through Cla's heart that no one has ever touched.


"I love you too." replied Cla mentoel Arsen's nose with anxiety. Wanting to be in the arms of that handsome body like that. All can only be held in hope.


"See you tomorrow." said Arsen.


"See You, too..." Cla nodded with a smile to take her lover away from her home.


***


While in the living room, Mommy Calina and Daddy Kenzo are still sitting there after their daughter's back is no longer visible. And when the sound of the door closing was heard, Mommy Cal turned to Daddy Ken who was still staring straight ahead, even though his daughter was no longer visible.


"Why, Mas?" ask Mommy Calina to Daddy Ken who looks dreamy.


"I didn't expect our daughter to grow up." said Daddy Ken. "He already likes men. Already have love for a man other than me and his father." he continued without turning his head. There was a glare of grief visible on his handsome face, as if he had just lost the figure he loved the most.


"I just found out too... If there's been a man chasing her all this time. But he chose to be alone and not have any relationship..."


Mommy Calina smiled at her husband's words. "Are we not married for more than 20 years?" mommy Cal asks lovingly to the man who helped her in the middle of the night when she ran away from her ex-husband's house pregnant.


"Everything feels so fast." muttered Daddy Ken with a smile.


Looking at the wife, staring at the shade of a beautiful face that still looks beautiful at the age of almost half a century. Recollecting the various memories they had shared from that night, to this day, where the daughter who was born with her assistance was an adult.


And now loved by a man who they think is good enough and worthy to be with his daughter. Moreover, they had known the man since they were teenagers. Where it is still called friend or friend.


"Kelak... if they really get married, we should all be ready to take it off.." murmured Mommy Cal. "Had been her marwah, if she would be brought home by her husband..."


"And I will lose my only daughter." muttered Daddy ken sounding quite heartbreaking.


That said, releasing girls to marry, heavier than releasing boys to marry. For fear that the girl who was kept half dead from inside the womb to growing up was hurt by a heartless man.


"Then... Should we make one more child? Who knows if a woman was born... So Daddy Ken didn't lose his daughter." Mommy Calina said with a chuckle.


"Huhah! Not a bad idea!" sahut Daddy Ken glanced at his mischievous wife.


"Eh! I'm just kidding! We are already in the ranks of elderly humans. We'd better wait to have a grandchild!" babble Mommy Calina smiled meaningfully.


Daddy Kenzo chuckles at his wife's words, imagining himself being called Opa, Grandpa, Eyang or perhaps even Grandpa.


"We're going to be Grandpa Granny." she muttered in the middle of her laughter. "Have many grandchildren from our three children!"


"Didn't we promise to stay together until death do us part?" ask Mommy Calina.


"Yes! And we're approaching a new nickname." said Daddy Ken smiling happily, because destiny is so good with presenting two women in his life.


"If Clarice wasn't with you, maybe I wouldn't know what it's like to love girls." murmured Daddy Ken. "Although I can't be a guardian for her future marriage."


Sighing deeply and quietly, Mommy Calina rests her back on the back of the sofa, while putting her head on the shoulders of the husband who is still sturdy despite being half a century old.


"But Cla has so much more affection than you, Mas!" answer Mommy Calina. "Since he was in my stomach, then born to this day, he's still been by your side, isn't he?"


"Hemm." replied Daddy Ken nodding while kissing the head of the wife on his left side.


"Mas, do you think Arsen is really a good man for Cla? Given that he has lived abroad for a long time... I'm afraid she got carried away by free association there, and it's affecting our daughter..."


"It looks like Arsen isn't like that" replied Daddy Ken. "Deeing from the level of busyness there as a student in the two faculties, I don't think he will have much time to follow the association of young people there.."


"Hopefully so, Mas.." replied Mommy Cal hoping for the same.
