Pursuing Love Om Duda
Dimas Apartment

Mother Aira looked agitated in her sitting. The shadow of King's face that was similar to Alex's small face made him unsettled. Sometimes he glanced at Alex who was driving.

"What's up, Ma? Why do the lyrics keep on?" Alex asked who was aware of the mother's uneasiness.

"You have to be honest with Mama, Alex."

"Honestly what the hell, Ma?" Ask Alex curiously.

"You know Tasya?"

Alex was surprised to hear that. "Why do you know him?"

"That king...your child right? Answer honestly, Alex." Mother Aira looked at Alex fixedly. And the one who was caught looked tense.

"Why did Mama ask that?" Alex glanced at his mother.

"King couldn't look like you if he wasn't your son, Alex. Mama also saw you coming out of the guest room where Taysa and King are. So is King really your son?"

Alex was once again surprised to hear that. "Ma...."

"Jawab be honest, Alex." Firm Mother Aira full of emphasis. Alex pulled the car over. Then looked at the mother's goal.

"If King were Alex's son, would Mama and Papa have accepted him? Mama knows what Papa looks like, right?"

"Owh, so is it true that your son King is the same as Tasya?"

"Yes Ma." Answer Alex honestly.

"Oh my God, Alex. Why are you hiding this big deal? Why do you not seem to know each other? Why didn't Tasya hold you accountable and instead want to marry Gibran?"

"I refuse to take responsibility, Ma." Alex answered quickly. Mother Aira was stunned to hear that.

"But why Lex? Tasya's your boyfriend, right?"

"No, Ma. King was present by accident, I was drunk and we did the forbidden thing." Obviously Alex who managed to make the heart of Mother Aira almost dislodged. The middle-aged woman closed her mouth because she still did not believe the confession of her only son.

"I still love someone. I was shocked to hear Tasya was pregnant. And ask him to abort the child in the womb."

"Oh my God, Alex. Mama never taught you to be this kind of irresponsible guy. King of your flesh blood and you dumped him? Don't forget that Mama's a mother, Alex. Mama knows Tasya's feelings. O Allah, forgive the sins of the slave's son."

"I have reason to reject the boy, Ma. First of all, I still love someone. Second, Papa will not accept the child. Mama knows what Papa is like, right? My position at that time was just serving as a corporate crusher. What if the directors were concerned about King's presence?"

"In those circumstances you still think of the company, Alex? You can still leave the company, but the child is a living creature that you can not leave. Mama's disappointed in you, Alex."

"I'm niesel, Ma. I wanted to apologize right then, but I was ashamed to see him. I also couldn't sleep well after saying rejection to the child. I'm a coward, Ma." Alex ruffled his hair in annoyance.

Mother Aira looked at her son so deeply. He could see deep regret in his son's eyes.

"So how now? Will you let Tasya marry Gibran? Let King call someone else Papa?"

Alex looked down lethargic. "I have no right to forbid Tasya from choosing her life partner, Ma. From the start I was wrong, I hurt her heart. Accuse him of nothing."

Mother Aira let out a heavy sigh. "Mama asked you, how do you feel about Tasya? Is there not the slightest feeling for her?"

Alex was silent for a long time. "I don't know, Ma."

"Where is the story you don't know? You have feelings, Lex."

Alex was still silent, because he really did not understand his own feelings. During this one year his heart was filled only with grief and guilt. Until I forget what love feels like and whatever it is.

"You don't want to fight Tasya? Mama knows this sounds evil. Mama didn't mean to tell you to fight over women with Gibran. But King is your son and you deserve him. Mama also did not want anyone else who became Grandma King. Even if it's Mama's own adek." Said Mother Aira.

"Ma, how about Papa? He won't be able to accept King's status. Papa never polishes a child out of wedlock."

"It's all over, Alex. Your blood flesh king. Effendi's blood is in him. Papa you can't deny that. Mama's sure Papa's gonna melt after seeing King. She's a gemesin you know, Lex? Mama wants to bring him home as soon as possible. Let others think Mama is selfish. But what's wrong with you grabbing Tasya's heart, Lex. Mama is also happy to see Tasya, she is beautiful and kind. Also a singer." Obviously Mother Aira grabbed Alex's hand. Grasping it tightly as if expectantly.

"Do I deserve to pursue her love, Ma? While I used to do anything and hurt her heart?" Alex looked so weak.

"It is not fitting that fate will answer, Alex. Now you just have to try to make Tasya, forget King for a moment in your heart problems. Now think of your future, Alex. You have to learn from what happened all this time. Do not let you lose step. After getting his mother's heart, you can have both, Alex." Mother Aira assured her son.

"So Mama gave me permission to chase Tasya?"

Mother Aira smiled and nodded enthusiastically. "Just fight for what you have to fight for. Follow the heart."

Alex smiled broadly, as if he was regaining his energy. "I'll try my best to get Tasya, Ma. Even if you have to compete with your own cousin once."

"That dong, happy fighting. And remember, don't connect heart feelings with King. Tasya yes Tasya, and King has his own position."

Alex nodded, then kissed the back of his hand.

"Mama will always support your decision, Lex. Fight the right way, don't be too pushy."

"Yes, Ma." Alex hugged his mother. Mother Aira rubbed her son's back.

...****...

Tasya kept pensive all the way home. And that makes Gibran feel awkward.

"Yes, why huh?" Gibran asked trying to break the silence. Tasya slightly jerked. Then he looked at Gibran.

"Gw no papa, maybe tired all day I keep playing." His alibi.

Gibran smiled knot. "Tomorrow you go to college, right?"

"Lecture, but a little bad."

"Gw pick you up? From now on you will go home the same way. Counting I'm training to be a good husband."

Tasya laughs funny. "It's not a problem anyway, save money also gw."

Gibran laughed when he heard that. "Have you known Alex for a long time?"

The deg! Tasya's heart jumped out. Tasya looked at Gibran meaningfully.

"Now I know him from Mey. He used to have a heavy crush on Mamud gw. We met a few times." Answer Tasya accordingly.

"Lo never had that same feeling? He is handsome, there are so many girls behind him." Gibran gave a quick glance at Tasya.

Tasya was silent for a moment. "There, but that was before." Now I hesitate to rest assured that I still love him, Gib, I'm afraid I'll get sick again. Keep Tasya in your heart.

"That means now there's a possibility I'm entering dong. Be calm, in a matter of days, weeks, months or years. I'll keep trying to make you fall in love with me." Gibran said excitedly. And that leaves Tasya dumbfounded.

"Geek."

"Yes?"

"Why don't you ever mention or ask who King's real father is?" Tanya Tasya felt strange about it.

Gibran glanced at Tasya with a sweet smile. "Gw wouldn't do that unless you said it yourself. I'm sure you're not ready for your past story either, right? So I gave it time for Elo. I'm sure he's a stupid, jerk-off guy because you've died like King that's it." Gibran sounds sincere.

That jerk and idiot is your cousin, Gib. Why are you so good anyway? But my heart is so hard for nerima elo. Thought Tasya in the heart.

"Dengerin yes Yes. No matter what the past is, I will still accept what it is. I will never touch something that will make you sick, you are the future Iw, Sya. Why else would I look back, right? I'm also not a perfect human being, have many shortcomings and of course have a past too."

"Gib, why are you so good? I can't believe this is Elo. You used to be so evil elo same gw, you pull my hair, you hide the book ge until I get punished." Tasya said twisting a piece of his past back. And it managed to invite Gibran laughter.

"Gw will deliberately let you get the law, so I can deket same elo. But really I nemenin elo until your score runs out."

Tasya remembered it well. "But you're not nemenin gw, you got a score at that time."

"That's my wits. I was the one who was not paying attention at the time. I deliberately did it so I could get punished with elo. And I can see the flat face of lo gemesin. It used to be very cold and diem like everyone. Not a little now." Gibran.

"Lo likes it, but you make me ilfiel know? I'm the same old elo." Ketus Tasya when remembering the ignorance of Gibran since the first school.

"Lonya abis diem really, I'm confused about how to use deketin what way. So I bother you, so I can hold on. After you are not sensitive, I'm just disturbing elo doang."

"Ye. Where do I know, Gib. It's stubbornly not stumbling. I care about elo."

Gibran laughed crisply hearing that. "Udah ah, why so discuss the past anyway. That's a really big herd, what the hell?" Gibran glanced at King who was playing the buttons of Tasya's clothes while blabbing indistinctly.

"Have his own world, he's a mah, justin." Tasya dipped King's head at a glance. Gibran nodded slowly and refocused on driving.

A few minutes later Gibran's car was parked pretty in front of the gate of Lander's house. "Are you not going in?" Tasya asked who was already standing in front of the gate.

"Other times, I have to go to the office for a while. I'm saying yes, see you, yes."

"See you to." Reply Tasya. Then Gibran's car drove slowly away from the place.

Tasha smiled, then turned around. But he was surprised because Mey was already standing at the gate that somehow opened half.

"You don't come home everyday? Where are you going?" Spray Mey folding both her hands on her chest. She looks like a mother who is interrogating her child.

Tasya rolled her eyes lazily. "Ngedate, what else? Which end? Tumben lo be a girl again like gini. Usually your child keeps sticking around." Tasya pushed the stroller King inside.

"Main omenanya, they want to nginep here." Mey replied while closing the gate.

"Really?" Tanya Tasya was enthusiastic.

"Yes, Daddy is kangen lo he said. Elo didn't even come home. Here the puffer is the same, I miss him. It's so bad for both of us." Mey lifted King from inside the stroller.

"Lo's dorm." Ketus Tasya rushed inside. Leaving Mey who was still in her position while holding King. "King kangen Grandma isn't? Kangen huh?"

King shouted in excitement and it managed to make Mey laugh. Kiss the baby padlocks with anxiety. Then Tasya went inside.
