Loved Brondong
Start the day without you

...***...

The day changed, the day changed again. The sunlight penetrated the glass window of his room. Eza opened his eyes after a night of deep sleep. The man was still on the bed with a blanket still wrapped around his body. Eza inched and began to normalize his half-dream consciousness.

He snorted in annoyance as he realized he was already at his home. Unlike yesterday, the last time he opened his eyes he found such a beautiful sight.

Eza breathed a long breath. “I'll start the day without you, Dusk. I hope your day will be happy wherever you are.”

Yes, only Yasmin was now on his mind. Now he has to live his days normally without a woman adoration at his side, no more holidays, streets, no more togetherness with loved ones.

The wall clock in his room leads to the number seven in the morning. Forcing him to wake up immediately. He got out of bed and underwent his bathing ritual.

A few minutes later, Eza came down the stairs intending to have breakfast. Both of his parents were at the dinner table. Eza then greeted them, trying to comment on a smile. “Good morning, Ma, Pa.”

"By the other hand, Za." Welcome Erna and Adhitama together.

“Eat, Za. Want fried rice or bread?” asked Erna as a form of attention. He had forgotten the deep debate, maybe he would discuss it again later.

“Eza want to eat bread, Ma.” Eza grabbed the bread and peanut butter that were in the middle basket of the table.

Everyone was enjoying their breakfast. There was no talk, they looked pretty calm that morning. Though the mind is raging, it wants to say the intention that is in the heart. Seen from the look on Erna's face that was getting impatient.

The suit finished, Erna also opened her voice. Sure enough, what Eza had thought, happened. Whatever the case, if dealing with the mother, it will not be easy to finish. The discussion continued the next day.

“Za,” call Erna while propping up her chin in both hands standing on the table.

“You sure know what Mama will talk about.”

“And Mama also must know, Eza's answer without before Mama spoke.” Eza replied in a relaxed tone.

"the Eza! Everything my mom did was for you! Your future. You should have—"

Adhitama cut off his wife's words. “Ma, never mind, let Eza live his life as he wants, he can definitely manage his time. He is an adult, we do not need to press too many things for his future.”

The marriage, which had been many years, made the man know the wife very well. She used to be very patient and understanding. However, after Eza wanted to follow in his footsteps, Erna so preferred to organize.

Erna looked at her husband. “What Papa means? Papa wants Eza to follow in Papa's footsteps? Learn from dong's experience, Pa. Do you want the best for your child?”

Adhitama closed his eyes. A small part of his heart hurt. However, the wife's words offended her. He wants to reply, but his business will be longer. His wife won't stop nagging.

Eza realized that the look on his face had changed. “Ma, the best for Mama, not necessarily good for Eza.” Eza then moved from his chair. However, one exclamation made him fixate.

“Eza! If you are stubborn and do not want to leave your hobby and focus on college, do not stay in this house. Live outside as you please, and remember, you will unplug all your amenities including credit cards and cars. Understand!”

Eza breathed a rough sigh. He did not expect, the decision taken, would continue to be like this. Without hesitation Eza showed his hard heart.

"Well, if it's mama's will."
