Love Should Choose
Family portrait

Molan spurred his sports vehicle at a fairly high speed splitting the path of Pondok Indah - Menteng. But he has been focused and calm in the midst of his complicated thoughts since this afternoon. Sita has been delivered to her home. The plan wanted to surprise the girl by taking her to meet Restu in her office was finally done. The ultimatum of the 'Great Master' he could not refuse this time, which was a family photo. And, that's who else if not with two additional 'new' members in his life, Restu and Ibu Soraya.

Just be right! he thought, unceasingly his father gave a surprise, starting with the presence of people from his past who made the mother a victim, he said, then Farada the woman he loved had to be snatched and in a match with the brother who had just met, Restu. Not finished he set his feelings after receiving the blows, now he is forced to have a photo session with all those people?

Uh! Just be right!

Molan arrived at his Papa Mansion a little late, about five minutes. Although driving at high speed earlier, but the density of traffic still can not he subjugated. Everyone was present, just waiting for him.

Molan then got out of his car, and walked into the mansion through a side door past some of Art's men and his Papa's bodyguards, occasionally returning their greetings with a smile he forced, he said, while the Prada brand black suit that will be worn later only hung just like that on the shoulder.

When he went up to the second floor the atmosphere looked lonely, then he asked an Art who was there, where his Papa was waiting. The art then directs their Young Master to the third floor at the very back, which is still part of the main building. Molan smiled wryly, when was the last time he circled this large mansion building, he did not remember anymore, until he forgot the place where his family usually gathers.

When I got to the third floor in question, I heard the conversation of several people from inside the closed door.all were present, just waiting for him alone. Molan opened the door without him knocking, a habit he would have been hard to break if he was in this mansion. The first time he saw her was her father sitting on the oversized sofa just pointing at her with a sour face. Maybe he was upset waiting for her.

Molan was still standing in the middle of the door. His vision turned to Mother Iin or Soraya who was sitting next to her Papa. Mother Soraya's shady face made her quickly look away. Although his heart still rejects reality but sees the figure of Soraya, Molan can not be denied that he misses a mother.

Restu. Yes, the man who is in fact now his brother is looking at him calmly. There was no hostility in his eyes, but not friendship either. Cold and flat only.

After intimidating everyone with a cynical face, Molan slowly stepped in to join in. The photographer who looked a little eccentric with hair in the pigtail, was in the corner of the room busy preparing equipment with one assistant was immediately ready to wait for the orders of the Big Master to start shooting.

But.wait!

Molan's chest was immediately tight when he saw a familiar figure emerge from the direction of the family toilet which was at the back was walking towards the middle room. Molan's steps stopped, as if he could not believe Farada was there too.

The same shock was felt by Farada, the girl had indeed been told in advance that Molan would be included in this shooting session, but still he felt groggy and clumsy to see the man before him looking at himself with a difficult gaze to interpret. Farada's chest tightened instantly as their eyes clashed.

Molan broke eye contact. He hoped that the match would never happen until the marriage stage, but it seemed, his hope would not be realized. Everything has reached this stage.

Erick then asked the photographer to do his job immediately. The Assistant photographer then arranged the location of the sofa and table and the red carpet carpet that will be used as a shooting place. Only two sofas were worn, besides that it was brushed to the edge.

Erick and Soraya pose to sit on the sofa while Molan, Restu and Farada stand behind them.

But, the activity was delayed, because there was a debate when the photographer set the position of Molan who stood did not want to be adjacent to Restu who stood in the middle. Molan chose to separate and distance himself behind. Restu had glanced at Molan to get closer to him so that this photo shoot immediately began and finished. He also did not want to linger - long in that situation. He wants to leave immediately. But, Molan actually returned Restu's glance with a sharp gaze, the drums of hostility he fluttered through the glint of his eyes.

While Farada was silent, he was in a pinch, unable to do anything, and he just lowered his head.

Soraya finally unravels the situation that is starting to heat up, he tells the photographer to continue his work and signals Erick not to force Molan.

However,

There are obstacles again when the shooting will be done. Molan was told to smile a few times because this is a family photo, right?. It would be strange if the three people standing behind each other wore sullen faces.

Erick, who was already upset with his second son, again reprimanded, "Molan, Papa hopes you work together, let this be done quickly. If you can't manage, it won't start!"

Molan remained unmoved, he did not heed his Papa's reprimand. Back, Soraya also took over the situation, he told the photographer to continue his task of photographing with the circumstances as they are.

The family photo shoot was finally done.

After finishing the photo shoot, Molan did not want to linger long, he intended to leave the family room immediately. But it was prevented by Erick.

"Wait on! you don't go first. There was one more session," Erick paused, then stood up, "now, the three of you take a picture together," he said, telling Restu and Farada to stay.

Molan was instantly stunned, the instant he gawked. He didn't accept Papa's plan. "Pa! What other plans do you have in mind? Why does it have to be like this?" his protest while walking still wanted to pass from there. His plan made no sense.

"Molian!" Erick snapped and followed his son up in front of the elevator. "Molans!...Wait!"

Molan stopped and turned around, anger clearly visible on his face, but he tried to catch his breath to quell his anger. "Pa, what wasn't enough? Don't you think about how the wound is here?" Molan held his chest with a palm, "burning, Pa!" he said softly while glaring.

Erick was silent, he was waiting for the next sentence that his son would say.

"Why should Papa repeat the mistake of Oma who once forced his will by marrying Papa to my Mama? That finally Mama must suffer until the end of life, because Papa's mistakes are tied to the past!" Molan paused, he let out his breath violently, and set his emotions to not explode, then, "Papa had to hold on to feelings for 30 years to wait for the woman Papa loved, but me...maybe you should keep these feelings for Farada for life!" Molan paused again, He looked at his Father's eyes fixedly, "Because I love Farada so much, Pa!"

Erick is unable to say - words, he does not want to argue, Molan's words have a point. Although there is actually something else that wants to be conveyed to his second son that is why he did it but given the condition of his son in an emotional state, it is better that later he revealed.

Because his father did not make a sound, Molan then left.

Unwittingly, Farada had listened from the beginning to the conversation between the two of them from behind the door with tears in his eyes, He held back the tears.
