Love Is Not Enough
Chapter.9

It is like repeating a memory that was long left behind, the atmosphere created tonight even though it was still awkward to start a conversation but over time everything became more comfortable.

Jokes and happy laughter flowed so naturally from their mouths.No one felt alienated by this meeting.No exception Daniel.Often he saw a show of discord his parents who often make him feel alone.But time this he began to see a long dim ray of peace emanating from the faces of his father and mother.

"So what, Liv.. ?Where is Christmas going this time?Where will the end of the year be?"ask Melia's mom.

"We're not going anywhere.Christmas here, the end of the year we also celebrate here.yes son?I agree where are we going...?" answered Livia's mother who immediately questioned her daughter.

"Okay ma.Health om Darwin is more important than the holidays." answered Bening innocently because it is the reason they do not vacation because Pak Cahyo focus on taking care of the health of sir Darwin his best friend.

Ms. Melia was immediately moved to hear it.Although the answer slightly made her slapped but she did not feel that the pain suffered by her ex-husband had anything to do with their decision to end the marriage.

"Thank you son, Liv, Cahyo's mom, already willing to sacrifice her vacation for daddy.." said Ms. Melia who represents the heart of Mr. Darwin.

"So, you have to be excited.You have to be strong, live all the treatment well.You have to heal.." he added by encouraging Mr. Darwin.

Slowly Melia who once began to return marked by her attitude that is very caring with her husband.

"Thank you mom.I promise, for you and our son.I will fight to get better." replied Mr. Darwin with sincerity to make those who heard him smile.

"Well.as aunt Livia said, we're not going anywhere.We are on holiday here.Ngerayain Christmas here the same and spend the rest of the year together "Daniel finally let out his voice.

"Horay...." He raised both of his hands like a child.

"Finally.ye.e...i.." cried with joy.They laughed at him who looked so cute and adorable.

"Are you happy?"ask Daniel.

"Yes.of course...I am very-very happy.Areally not a big brother?" Bening asked back.

Daniel smiled beautifully and ruffled his sister's hair gently.

"I am happy too.Maybe even more than you feel..." his answer made both parents smile haru.There is a deep feeling of guilt in his mother's heart that makes him sad.He was eager to embrace his son.Taking into all the pain they have been through, make his eyes glass again.

Mr. Darwin saw him.He rubbed the hands of women who were still very loved, even though both had just received a decree from the court.

She was very understanding what she was feeling.Just like with Ms. Melia, she also felt full of hearing her son's words.But she also could not show her sad face in front of her son.

Bening saw the scene.As connected, he also felt sorry for knowing the reality.

"Then we have to agree, then we celebrate the end of the year where and from now on we can think about what we will make for the end of our year.We are for the task.." proposed Mr. Cahyo.

"That's right.I agree" said Livia.

"Do you two have any ideas?This time let you guys just decide the place.Time for you two.We're parents, follow or how?" mr. Darwin asked for their opinion.

"How about we have a weekend at my friend's cafe?There we can hear live music, barbeque..." Bening gave a suggestion.

"Cafe Dear baby you mean?Have you seen the place?Not yet official, cafe.Kesenya.Keepan what we want to take from there?We want to make memories, right?Keep on live music? The tenor's singer?" refute Daniel with various questions.Bening only grinned the horse heard his question.

"Udah open kok kak, although still experimental.The name is not tenor kak, but Bastian..."protest Bening by highlighting his lower lip.Daniel protested silent only.Their parents did not respond to the debate of the two.The four only heard and smiled.

"Lagian daddy Darwin also can not eat the roasted roast first son.Yes pa?So from now on we have to forget the barbeque" said Ms. Livia who asked for her husband's explanation.

"Yes.true .." replied Mr. Cahyo briefly, please,but not the type of child who will be silent if it is related to health.The feeling of want to always appear and he will be silent if he has found the answer.Especially he really likes the food that is burned.Not just himself, but he is,daniel's mother was the same.

"Why can't you, papa?"tanyakanya.

"There are two types of cancer-causing compounds that will form during the combustion process.The two compounds are the first HCA (heterocyclic amines) that are formed when meat is cooked at too high a temperature either roasted or fried but HCA is also found in cigarettes that cause cancer.While the second name is PAH, formed when fatty fluids in meat drip to the surface of hot coals and cause smoke,this smoke contains cancer substances that will stick in the meat.Actually not because of the charcoal that causes cancer but more to the temperature that is too high during the roasting process ..." explained Mr. Cahyo in detail.

"Well.serem is also yes..so far there is a lot of wrong practice..." said Ms. Melia who began to was was after hearing the explanation of Mr. Cahyo.If not for Mr. Darwin who was affected by cancer, maybe they will not discuss about it, even though they themselves are also adherents of a healthy lifestyle, but they also have to learn more about a healthy lifestyle considering Mr. Darwin who is suffering from early-stage cancer.Nobody wants to get sick, so every day should always try to live healthier.

"So how is dong om?we can't barbequean anymore .." - Daniel.

"Yes, but it's really good, Seru.Terus we are also rarely barbequean together. last on the birthday of brother Daniel three years ago..." added Bening by recalling the old memories that still continue to be remembered. He said stay plain.

"Yes, you're the same mommy must be stress.Kan, your two likes?"said Daniel.

"Thank you, Yo information.It's very useful.Let me be his assistant you're Liv.." Melia said to her best friend.They laughed together.

"But for you Dar, it's better not to consume baked or grilled food first ya. ." said Mr. Cahyo to his best friend who had just been silent listening to them discuss many things about his illness.

"Any doctor." he replied firmly with a voice that was so tried out loud when he had problems with his larynx.

"By the way, we continue to chat while eating aja yes.yuk.." take Miss Livia to her husband, children and three special guests.

They also stand towards the dining room.It looks lined with food menus that really smell appetizing.

"Wow..looks so delicious.." praise Mr. Darwin amazed.Especially he knew very well that the food is not ordered but cooked by Mr. Livia and he knew how it tasted.

"Mas Cahyo, can Daddy eat anywhere?" ask Melia so attentive.

"Relax Mel, for daddy Darwin there is a special kok.Menu ala me" point Miss Livia on herself.

"And of course over the concoction of Cahyo mas..." he continued.Pak Darwin felt very happy to be noticed.He was very proud to have a friend as good as Cahyo as well as his wife and child who was very caring with him.Baginya ma Melia is still a wife because she has been together with her lawyer and has been to court for appeal.

He believes his decision will be on his side given his pain and Ms Melia has also shown a different attitude.

"So my soup made you brother." said Bening promoting himself.

"Yes, I believe.." replied Daniel flatly.

"Loh, that's right.." she said.

"Yes, didn't I say I believed?What about deck...?"refute Daniel gemes see the face of his sister who began to manyun.

"Daddy also believes, son.You who made it.The taste must be delicious.You must be tired huh? Thank you very much son." said Mr. Darwin sincerely.Bening immediately smiled widely.

"Tante, too, son, thank you for cooking for us.."bu Melia did not want to lose.

"There is a big head, too much praise.."ledek Daniel.

"God.Wek..."Bening was shaking his lips.

"I'm the same thanks om and aunty, already want to make a night like this happen.For a long time we're not like this.I missed this so much for a long time." replied Bening.

"U.u.u..u..h...tante was deeply moved.."bu Melia wiped away her tears that she could not bear.Bening's words really made her unable to hold back.

Ms. Livia who saw him also cried.Daniel reflexes rubbed her mother's hand.

"Udah yes mom.Don't cry anymore ya.." he said softly.Bening so feel guilty with the word he said.

"Where if now we just pray before eating." said Mr. Cahyo mediate.By being led by him they also took the attitude to pray before doing family dinner.

Shortly after that they each began to take the menu served with their own choices.

"So, what's the plan, Dar?Will the treatment continue here or in New York?"asked Mr. Cahyo in between meals.All eyes looked at Mr. Darwin who was the target of the question.

"Yes, if you think I should seek treatment there,it's okay.But if you want to hold me here is also okay.Its okay.Its okay.I'm happy to undergo anything that becomes your advice Yo.If the cancer is just the stage is more than me, I'm happy to undergo,can you handle it and get well, when I'm not?" replied Mr. Darwin who gave up the decision entirely on his best friend.

He thought for a moment.It is true he wanted to cure Mr. Darwin with his own hands.But he also did not want to be selfish with the request of the big family of Mr. Darwin who wanted his friend to go home and seek treatment there.Especially they know, but he also did not want to be selfish, how is the condition of the household Mr. Darwin.

"Yes, the Holy Dar.But the one who healed them was the power of God.I am only an extension of His hand." replied Mr. Cahyo humbled.

"Yes,Yo, I know that.I'm also sure, God will use you to heal me" said Mr. Darwin made his best friend's heart was covered.

"OK, Dar. but as we have discussed before, I still want you to go there for the reasons I have explained to you.I want the best for you..." said Mr. Cahyo reassured his best friend.

"Okay, fine if it is like that.I will go there after we celebrate the end of the year together together.." he replied to the decision.Bu Melia touched his hand a sign that he supported her.

When he heard Mr. Cahyo's explanation when he consulted about his illness, guilt haunted him.Maybe he became one of the causes of Mr. Darwin to get sick? Blame his decision to keep muddy want a divorce?

They also enjoyed dinner with wisdom and love.
