Love In Tragedy
Chapter 32. Best gifts.

" Morocchio Azzahra.... Isn't that the same name as the girl you were appraising? Is that really him? "

Mama Hani's question again makes Yoga flabbergasted, in its permanence. Mama Hani remembers the figure of Nabiqha Azzahra who always Yoga is proud of in her story. Even if only once met in person, on graduation day.

The figure who also once made a sad story in the life of his son, when he disappeared without a trace. Making Mama Hani also guessed the same thing with her husband.

Yoga who realized that the mother still remembered the figure of the pujaan woman, whom she always told first, immediately tried to refute the allegations that might be thought by her mother.

" Right Ma.... But it's not what papa thinks. The problem between Yoga and Alin has absolutely nothing to do with him. He also deket again same department in the office."

Yoga pretext with a little misbehavior when saying it. Yoga is forced to lie in order to cover up his relationship with Biqha. Because he was afraid that Biqha would get into trouble, if their relationship was known at this time.

His father could immediately fire Biqha at this time. And the thing that Yoga is most afraid of is, it will make Biqha know his lies all along. And it will lead to disappointment in Biqha, which may cause hatred against her.

" Yoga hired him in our company not only because we wanted to help him, but because we also needed a reliable accountant like him..... It's a real professional job. It has nothing to do with feelings. That feeling is the past. Yoga has Alin now. Although now Yoga feels uncomfortable again with the excessive attitude of Alin."

Yoga spoke at length without being able to cover up his annoyance.

" If you don't believe it, you can ask Erick as his boss directly in the office. Even in the office, we never once said hello. "

Firmly Yoga tried to convince the mother, who seemed to doubt him.

" Where do you know he's close to his division friends, if you don't say hello to each other? "

Yoga was wide-eyed with the question of the mother, but a moment later she immediately replied calmly.

" Yoga..... He had only seen her go to lunch and come home with her male partner. "

" Okay, mom believes in you. What about Alin? What makes you uncomfortable with Alin? "

Yoga was silent with the mother's question. He no longer knows what to say. What reason could he roughly make a strong alibi, to support his statement. Yoga lowered his head with both hands supporting him. It feels really tired.

" Yoga doesn't know how to explain it to your mom? His possessive attitude and his suspicion on Yoga are continuous, making Yoga very tired of undergoing this relationship ma...."

" You have to understand, baby..... He is so because of your attitude as well. Let alone Alin, mom and dad were surprised by this change in your attitude. As busy as anything, at least you should be able to maintain good communication with Alin. But you often ignore the telphon from him. If my mom was Alin.... You will also be suspicious of your partner. Because that is how women are. Tend to act with feelings. "

Mama Hani tried to advise her son gently, so that Yoga could understand and act more calm. While Yoga who listened to the advice of the mother, felt her head getting heavier. Because it seems to find a dead end, from this problem. Then lovingly, mama gently stroked the head of Yoga.

" Hear baby.... The name of the relationship will definitely experience ups and downs. Mama understands you are currently at a saturation point. But do not immediately make a decision when the heart is emotional. Because later you will also experience the same thing again in the next relationship. If it is saturated and then immediately separated, saturated... separated, want to until when? "

Mama hugged her son's shoulders, trying to give him some comfort. Yoga is not getting depressed.

" Since no relationship will be happy next dear..... Even after the household, the problem will remain. The boredom, saturation in the couple will be felt by any couple. But back to our commitment. That's why love must be constantly nurtured, in order to always bloom. "

As the mother continued to speak words of wisdom, Yoga was even more afraid because thinking about her love that seemed so difficult to materialize.

" Like a flower that grows from a bud, then recedes until it blooms perfectly. It will slowly start to wither and fall. But if we continue to care for her, water her regularly, she'll flower again." Continue mama.

Yoga moved from his seat, because he felt unable to bear the pressure he felt at this time.

" Sorry ma.... Yoga is tired. Yoga needs a break."

Yoga passed leaving her mother, who looked on her departure uneasily.

Arriving at his room, Yoga immediately threw his body on the bed. Yoga looked at the ceiling of his room with a floating mind. Yoga recalled Alina's words before they separated.

Yoga can only hope now, Alina really keeps her word. And managed to persuade his parents to back off their wedding plans. Even Yoga hopes they will immediately cancel it until it ends their relationship.

***

Flashback to moments before....

After getting a phone call from Alina, who was still trying to persuade her to attend Yoga's surprise birthday party, Erick was still pensive as he looked at the ceiling of his room. Thinking of his best friend's surprise birthday party, Erick reminds him of someone he loves very much, who will soon also have a birthday.

A person who is so close and always supports him. Who since childhood has always been with him, while his parents are busy working. He's the oma that Erick loves. Even when everyone doubted him, he still believed and had complete confidence in him.

Thinking of the oma made Erick teary-eyed. Because of the longing for an oma figure who had been a year or so he could not meet. Even to ask him the news, Erick couldn't. Erick had to wait for the oma to tell him first, only to be able to talk to him.

Because the father revoked his rights as part of the Atmadja family. And forbid it to be associated with anything related to the Atmadja family. As a consequence of his decision, who chose to leave the house and relinquish the position as the main heir as well as all the luxuries he had.

That's why last year, Erick couldn't give any gifts to the oma. But now her circumstances were much better, so she thought of giving something as a gift to her beloved oma.

Erick grabs his phone on the nightstand, and begins to wander around looking for a suitable gift for the oma. Amidst the confusion of choosing a gift for an oma, Erick recalled his birthday gift that once made an oma very happy. Namely the cakes made by Biqha's mother, which stacked shaped like a multi-level birthday cake.

The gift was even boasted by oma, as the best birthday gift she had ever gotten. Because those cakes are oma's favorite pastries. Because oma prefers traditional foods than contemporary cakes.

Erick's mind drifted into those times. Recalling when he was at home Biqha, for Olympic preparation exercises. While waiting for Biqha to come home from the market, Erick helps mom and Rendra in the kitchen.

" You why Rick? Tumben diem. "

" Erick was confused again" she replied

Erick no longer called Biqha's mother aunty, because his own mother said she would rather be called mother than aunt. Felt village people, so not pantes called aunty.

" Aahhhhhhhhhhh... Why is this not being given ?!"

He spoke suddenly with half a shout, after getting the idea for the oma's gift. Makes mom and Rendra shocked.

" What the hell is Rick? You just ngagetin. "

" Tau nih Erick..... Falling the cake."

Said Rendra as he picked up the cake that had fallen on the floor. While Erick even laughed to see the funny face of Rendra who was shocked.

" Well what? Is it at home you want an event?" Ask mom while making cake.

" Yes, oma's birthday. Erick wants to give these cookies a birthday gift."

" Birthday gift period for the omanya gini market snack cakes anyway Rick...."

" Erick's brother is confused.... "

Erick said as he scratched his head and smiled in response to the mother's words.

" It must be oma seneng. I love mother-made cakes."

Erick recounts that when Mom brought Erick some cookies to take home, they were eaten by oma in an instant. So I agreed to make a cake for my grandmother's gift.

When that day came, Erick was amazed to see the cakes arranged beautifully like cake. Complete with ribbons on the edges as well as candles and birthday accessories on top.

" Whoa.. so beautiful ma'am. I'm top."

Erick showed both of his thumbs to mother. Then Erick was about to take the wallet out of his pants pocket, to pay for the cake. But my mother forbade it.

" It is not necessary. You bring aja. Assume a gift from mom also makes your oma."

" But ma'am.... I'm going out of capital to make this."

" No papa. You also help my mother a lot.... Sometimes you also like anter mom or Biqha to the market. Mom's getting shitty. "

" What the hell is mom..... So I'm counting."

They smiled together amid the two brothers, who just kept quiet to see their interaction.

" Yes, next time Erick change to another one. What do you want mom? Or else want what? "

" No need...."

Erick had expected mother to answer like that. Therefore he turned to the little boy, who was being embraced by the brother.

" If you're a boy.... Want what?"

" Pizza brother. Looking at the tv is good."

" Renner....."

" Mush...."

Mother and Biqha also immediately warned Rendra.

" okay. Next time I'll bring you.... What else do you want?"

Erick asked the boy again, While the brother silenced the brother's mouth. But quickly Rendra pulled the hand of the brother.

" When is steak good, no? "

" Rene....."

He asked innocently, which was immediately responded to by the plot from the brother. And a strong warning from the mother.

" Rick.... You don't like that Rendra kayak manjain. He will become a habit. I don't want Rendra to become a habit of asking for you."

" Not really buk.... Rendra's a good boy, he never asked for Erick. Except Erick bargained for it first."

He said while holding the head of Rendra, who was now so down because he felt he had done wrong.

" Lagian Erick is also often treated to eat here. So there is no harm dong. "

" Abhu shamha Rhendrha dhoang?" (Same mother Rendra doang?)

Biqha also spoke after being silent.

" that's.... My mother is the same Rendra doang good ama me, you are not. If you want to.... Yeah, you're okay with me...."

" hih.... Oghaha. " (Cih.... Ogna.)

" ye.... Yes it is."

Mother and Rendra laughed funnyly at them. Of course Erick's ketus speech was just a mouth. In fact, when he returned to practice with Biqha, Erick brought a large box of pizza and four full servings of steak. Including Biqha as well.

Erick smiled in memory of the beautiful memory he felt, while in the middle of the happy family. Family is simple, yet very warm and affectionate. Unlike his family, which was abundant in luxury, yet there was never any family warmth in it.

Everyone is busy with their own business. Never mind each other. Even Erick was not close to his two older sisters either. Therefore Erick likes and envies the familiarity of Biqha and Rendra. Although they sometimes like to fight, but they look very close and care for each other since long ago.

Recalling those times, Erick longed for the warmth of their family. Especially the figure of Rahma's mother, whom she can't see anymore now. Mother's figure is strong, gentle, considerate, friendly and also very good to her. Suddenly there was a feeling of sadness in his heart, regretting the fate that so quickly picked up the figure of the great woman.

Erick got up and sat on his bed. Then closed his eyes for a moment while raising his hand, and then reciting Surah Al-fatihah for Rahma's mother. As a form of expression of his longing for the figure of Rahma's mother, which he knows as a very good person.

Erick thought back about the gift for his oma. He intended to ask Biqha for help, to make her the exact same pastries that her mother had made back then.

" About Biqha want to help me? Just try it first...."

Erick got out of his bed, rushing to get changed. Then immediately drove on his favorite motorcycle, to meet Biqha at his contracted house.
